Chapter 4: Mortality
Disclaimer on first chapter

Percy's POV

"OW!" I yelled in pain.
Note to self do not jump down to Earth from Olympus, ever!
I looked around and saw that I landed in a trashed couch in an enclosed space.
I looked around to see where Athena landed. I couldn't see her anywhere.
"Looking for me?"
I looked up to see Athena floating gently to the ground with a parachute to her back.
"Um I'm guessing you didn't have another one?"
"I had another one, but I didn't want to give one to you!" she retorted.
"What the heck Athena!" I growled.
"Watch your tone, you may be a god," she snapped, "but I can still punish you and cast you in to Tartarus!"
"Whatever, lets just look for them."
"Agreed"

Athena's POV

"So where shall we start looking first?" I said.
Suddenly I heard a deep growl from behind me.
"Um Athena..."
I turned around, and found a hellhound ready to pounce. Before I could overcome my initial shock the hellhound pounced slashing me in the arm. I fell to the floor while Perseus drew his sword and slashed the vile beast back to Tartarus.
"Athena! You're bleeding...red!"
"What! that's preposterous I am a god! I don't bleed mortal blood..." my voice faltered as I lay there looking at my wound, sure enough red blood was bleeding out of me.
"Athena, I think you are no longer a..."
"God...by going on this forbidden quest, we have disobeyed the Ancient Laws and we're no longer, gods."
"That means we have to be more careful next time we fight a monster."
I tried to get up and failed miserably.
I yelled out in pain, I guess the wound was deeper then I thought. I haven't experience this kind of pain since...well forever.
"Um I can't move. I think we should camp out here for now." I said.
"Ok, just rest here I will bandage you up."
He took a bandages and wrapped my arm up and fed me some ambrosia.
I don't know why I hate him, he I mean he is a really caring kid, well he is no longer a kid, in Ancient Greece he would be a man...
"Thank you, Percy."
"You...you called me Percy"
"That is your name is it not?"
"Yes it is."
"Well then whats the problem?"
"Nothing..."
"Well then, we should rest for now."
"Ok"

Percy's POVI went to sleep on the floor after I layed Athena on the couch to rest.

I had a strange and vivid dream. It was a conversation through my empathy link with Grover.
"Percy!" Grover yelled.
"Huh? Grover!" I answered.
"Percy! Thank goodness you can hear me!"
"What is it Grover?"
"Kronos trapped us!"
"But he is gone, banished from the Earth!"
"It was his plan so that the gods think he was destroyed on Olympus to lower their guard!"
"I see...so where are you guys and where's Poseidon?"
"Your father is holding the sky! Atlas deceived him into holding the sky and as for us, we are on board the Princess Andromeda!"
"Is Annabeth ok?"
"We are all fine, oh and Luke is back! The thing on Olympus was all an act!"
"Ok we're coming to get you!"
"Who's we?"
"Athena and me"
"Oh...anyways you might want to know the ship is docked in San Francisco, Please hurry!"
The dream ended.

The next morning...

"Percy, Percy! wake up!"
I got up slowly,still a little bit sleepy, and saw Athena's pair of grey eyes starring at me.
"Huh? What?"
"Time to get up!...Hey, you know you drool when you sleep."
"Just like what Annabeth said when she met me..."I grumbled.
"Percy, I think we should go to Camp Half-Blood first, don't you agree?"
"Uh...ya and also I had a dream and know where they are! And Athena...Kronos is back..."
"What? That is impossible you destroyed him!
"Well it was all an act! Everything!"
"Well we can't do anything about it just talking here, lets get to Camp Half-Blood A.S.A.P!"
"Um I think I will call a cab..."

At Camp Half-Blood...

We hailed a regular taxicab and asked him to drop us off at Half-Blood Hill. We paid him with mortal money and went passed Thalia's tree.
We were greeted by stares from the campers and Chiron came up to us to greet us.
"Hello Percy and Lady Athena," he said, "What brings you here?"
"Chiron, I think we should talk in the big house," I said.


Me: (Dramatic music plays) What will they talk about? Will someone intervene? Will Zeus punish them? Am I making this seem more dramatic then it should be?
Percy: Yes, to the last question.
Me: Please read and review and please vote on a pole on my profile page for who Percy should be with in this story!
Percy: Wait what?
Me: You heard me right.
