10th Chapter! Good timing- I was worried. By the way, I came up with the idea of relaxing your mind to stop seeing through the mist (so you can see what the humans saw). I might not be the first to do this, but I definitely came up with it on my own. Anyway, here is the list:
Zeus (God of the Sky) - Thalia Grace
Hades (God of the Underworld) - Nico De Angelo
Poseidon (God of the Sea) - Percy Jackson
Athena (Goddess of Wisdom) - Annabeth Chase
Grover Underwood (God of the Wild)
Demeter (Goddess of Plant life) - Persephone (Goddess of Spring)
Artemis (Goddess of the Hunt) - Artemis (Goddess of the Hunt)
Apollo (God of the Sun) - Peter Johnson
Ares (God of War) – Clarisse La Rue
Hermes (Messenger God and God of Travelers and Thieves) - The ghost of Luke Castellan
Aphrodite (Goddess of Love) - Simone Withersport
Hephaestus (Smith God) - Alfred Roboto (robot, not demigod)
This chapter is from Persephone's POV
We Argue with a Hag
We went into a grocery store nearby the track, because we had run out of food. When we got in, we looked in awe- This was probably the world's biggest grocery store. The place was the size of an airport. It had looked smaller outside, but it was partially in a cave. We all went around with money, looking for what food we could afford.
This nice lady kept giving us coupons. We didn't need this stuff, but we said thanks anyway. After a while, this got boring. We were getting restless, but we kept searching for food in the giant store. The Coupon Lady kept looking at canned pork, Ribs, bags of bacon, and ham in disgust. I had know idea what she had against pigs, but it wasn't good. After a while, she got obviously restless as well.
After about an hour of looking, we finally started heading for the cash register. We got in line behind checkout 13, and heard a yell. An older woman was yelling at the manager about how some pickles were way too expensive. "I need these pickles to feed my family!" she yelled. "Miss, Pickles aren't all we have. Also, 3 cents for pickles is actually very cheap." "I don't care! Pickles should always be 1 cent! Also, pickles are the most expensive thing here! I need the most expensive foods!" this lady was crazy. It's times like these that make me wish it was winter. Hades was actually a pretty good husband. Ahhh... I missed him. Anyway, The old lady kept screeching about pickles, and stormed off, furious.
I was glad to see the woman go- and silently asked my husband to put her in a worse punishment than Tantalus. After waiting in line for about 15 minutes, the old hag came back and cut in front of us.
"Uh, miss? We were sort of in that spot." said Artemis. "Yeah!" said Percy. I smiled.
"Whatcha gonna do? Talk to me? Scold me? Ha! I love making people mad," said the old hag.
I hated internet trolls, but this woman was a real life Troll. Not literally, but she tried to... aw, you know what I mean.
"Okay hag, you are in my way," I said. The old lady glared at me. She tried to punch me in the gut, but I dodged it, and flowers grew in her mouth and out of her ears. She screamed and ran out, scattering her stuff all over the floor. Thalia and Alfred picked them up and went off to put them back in their spots.
Eventually, we got to the counter, and we gave the woman the stuff in our cart. She bagged them, we paid for them, and were about to get out when Meat covered the doors.
We were not getting out easy.
