Two weeks until I go visit Uncle Hades, Percy thought to herself already feeling out of place. She laughed bitterly at herself, knowing that she might be strong on the outside but she was still a child that wanted to belong but never finding that place. Her act was brilliant though she found herself longing for her mother at times like these. She manipulated the water from the nearby puddle into the sun light creating a rain, "O Iris, Goddess of Rainbows, Please allow me to see Sally Jackson but her not to know of the message," She recited as she place two drachmas into the Rainbow.

She watched as her mother baked cookies for her two children who looked like a perfect mix between their parents. Her mother had achieved her dream of a novelist and had married a man who made her happy which Percy was glad that her leaving and the substantial memory loss from the mist helped her mother find her dreams even like it was ironic that she wrote about a girl named Percy and her adventures. Percy broke down crying, missing her mother even more but knew that she had done the right thing by running away.

"Your mother's very beautiful like you are," Apollo materialised behind her. He swiped the Iris message. "Sometimes being strong means making yourself weak." He wisely said as he hugged her, knowing his granddaughter needed comfort at the present time.

Percy sobbed in her grandfather's arms, finally feeling like she belonged, that she was safe. "I shouldn't miss her," She whispered brokenheartedly.

"Of course, you should, she's your mother, isn't she?" Apollo asked the distraught preteen who nodded. "Everyone needs their parent even in your case where you can't be together, so it's up to the grandparent's to provide that comfort."

Percy smiled though her tears, "How did you know to come?" She asked soaking in the feeling of finally coming home.

"Iris interrupted a council meeting, saying she had a half-blood, she wasn't sure that was mentally stable and mentioned your eyes so I flashed here," He answered, knowing that even in Percy's darkest moments, she wasn't exactly suicidal but there were other ways of harm. "I knew you probably had a breakdown and just needed someone to care but there aren't many who could help."

Percy's tears stopped at the fact her grandfather knew her so well and was willing to come despite that he was in a meeting with Zeus who wasn't known for his understanding nature. "I'm not that important that you would get in trouble for me, grandfather." She whispered, not understanding why he cared.

"You are important to me." He replied frustrated that she didn't know this, "You are important to me because you are Persephone Artemis Jackson, Granddaughter of Georgia Transom, and my great-granddaughter who is fiercely protective of her friends and family, who gives hope to the ill and dying, who ran away from home to give her mother a new start, who seems strong on the outside but longs for a place she can call home, who believes that fate isn't set in stone and goes out of her way to prove it, who willing to guide others, to give everyone a chance, who can't heal physical wounds but those of the soul, who's willing to keep the peace and for being uniquely you, that is why you are important to me, little seer," He lectured.

Percy shyly smiled at Apollo, knowing that he was proud of her and he loved her, "Thank-you, grandfather," She replied, curling in his lap and drifted off to a dreamless sleep, her first for three years.

Apollo watched as she slept, the look like she was years older than she was gone, like the burden she bared had been lifted allowing her to be child needing love again.
Apollo, you need to return, father's furious His Twin's voice sounded in his head.
He looked down at his granddaughter sleepy peacefully as he replied though their link I can't my legacy needs me, she has no one else. Her sight's almost as bad as mine was until I gave most of it to the oracle. Tell him Georgia Transom's granddaughter was the child who had the breakdown.
Father says bring her as well Artemis repeated her father's orders.
Apollo sighed I'm coming, warn them about her sight please. He cut the link.

"Time to wake up, little seer," He aroused her. "Father wishes to meet you so we're going to Olympus."
Percy groaned still tried form her breakdown, she got up and dusted herself off. Her ripped apart shirt and jeans, her last set of clothes in wearable condition as everything else was too ruined from living the life of a Half-blood. "I'm not really presentable," She said, pointing out her clothes.
Apollo smiled and clicked his fingers, changing her clothing into a black shirt that said 'If I predict something, watchout it will come true,' in gold writing and a black skirt with gold glitter. On the back of her shirt was 'I'm my grandfather's sunflower.' Her shoes were black sneakers with gold laces. "Is that better?" He asked amused when she fixed up her hair and attached her ribbon as a belt which fitted into the pattern of black and gold.
"Thank-you," she hugged him happily, gratefully for the new clothes that fitted her style.
Apollo grinned at her happiness, glad that a simple gift of a change of clothes was all she needed to become happy though he was worried about her emotional and social development. How she didn't react to things like most did. He will have to give her a full check-up before returning her to camp. "Time to meet the rest of your relatives, sunflower," He gathered her up into his arms and waited until she had closed her whirlpools of eyes before teleporting them to Mount Olympus.
