Paul turned to Percy. "So you like, have weapons and you fight monsters and stuff?" I nodded and pulled at Riptide (capped of course.) I showed him the pen.
"This is my weapon." I handed it to him.
"That is a pen." I nodded. "That is a pen!"
^^^PJO MOVIE REFERENCE!^^^
"Well, in this case, the pen is just as strong as the sword." I took it back and uncapped it. Riptide grew into a three foot blade. Paul's eye widened. A female voice came from the Iris Message.
"Please deposit another drachma to continue your conversation." I slashed through the mist with my sword and the image disappeared. I concentrated on the pipe again and stopped the water.
Paul stood gaping like a fish. I dragged him into the living room and capped Riptide.
"So, anything else I should know?"
"I'm ADHD because it keeps us moving in battle. I'm dyslexic because my brain is hardwired for Greek and Latin."
"Why were you beating up Tina?" I told him about the Mist and what Tina actually was. He nodded absorbing it all in.
"And your dyslexic friendly book?" I can't believe his mind goes to that and not something that's actually vital to my life.
"It's written in Ancient Greek."
"Can I see it?" I went to my room and found my copy in my closet. When I handed it to him, he stared at the writing inside.
"How do you read this?"
"I already told you, my brain is made to read Greek, not English. That's why I'm dyslexic." He handed the book back to me.
"Do you have any other questions?" He shook his head and leaned back in the couch. He stared off into to space processing everything.
I left him to his thoughts and went to my room to begin my reading.
