Chapter 4 ~
PERCY POV
"Can't you just shut up!" After hearing two people arguing for the last 5 minutes I finally snapped. It doesn't help that my head feels like a volcano has just erupted inside. I opened my eyes and that's when I realised I don't remember going to sleep. Looking to my left and then my right, i realised that the was only 3 people in this room, filled with empty beds. An infirmary? what am I doing here?
"You jerk! Where the hell have you been! I thought you were dead...we all did!" My eyes flicked to the shouting girl an immediately jumped up and pulled her into a tight embrace. She still had her black, punk style, hair and her electric blue eyes soon changed from anger to relief.
"Gods, I've missed you Thals." I let go and stepped back. "it's nice to see you end everything but, what am I doing here? What happened with the battle? Last I remember I was killing monsters." I knew something was up because Thalia just looked down.
Then everything made sense. The headache and the infirmary. Thalia knocked me out.
"You hit me? Why would you hit me!" I practally screamed at Thalia.
"5 years. That's how long we were worried about you, weather you were still alive or not! Then I find out that we're cousins! So yeah, I hit you. I guess you can call it realising 5 years of frustration." she yelled back. By the time she finished she was inches away from me. The look in her eyes made me take a step back a little. If there's one thing I remember about Thalia, it's that you would be an idiot if you didn't fear her.
"so you say we're cousins? How did you figure that out?" I said, rubbing the back of my neck, after a short awkward silence.
"Your the son of Poseidon... You know, my dads brother?" once she said this I was really confused.
"Poseidon? What are you talking abo..." didn't even finish my sentence before the memories from before I was knocked out came rushing back to me. But the problem is I don't remember any connection the water and I'm pretty sure Poseidon can't summon fire... I guess I might keep that a secret for a bit. "Oh yeah, I guess that's what the trident stood for."
"Hello?" a new voice rang through the room. We looked over to the door to see a hunter standing there, awkwardly, looking at me. I recognize the hunter from before when I was in the woods. I knew she recognized me too. I turned my head to see a look of disgust fixed on Thalia's face.
"What do you want, Zoë?" Thalia said, anger creeping into her voice.
"Chiron asked me to bring Perseus to the big house if you must know!" so that was her name. Zoë. Thalia was about to respond but I interrupted her.
"it's ok Thals, we'll talk later. I think we have some catching up to do." she looked like she wanted to argue but she just nodded. I turned back to Zoë and we left the infirmary.
ZOË POV
"I also wanted to thank you for before, in the woods." I said breaking the awkward silence that hung in the air.
"It's no problem. God or not, you never treat a girl like that." He added a small smile to his reply and I surprised myself by smiling in return.
"I'm sorry, I know you just got here but I need your help...with a quest. " I could tell that the request caught him off guard.
"What? Why would a hunter want help from me? I'm sure you would prefer someone else to join you on a quest."
"I'm not going to lie. Yes Infact i would prefer to take a team of hunters. But unfortunately the prophecy asked for a son of the sea to lead the quest. There's only two sons of Poseidon. You and Cameron." I said spitting out the last name with disgust.
"I just got here. Why not take Cameron?" he asked obviously oblivious to the venom in my voice when saying his name.
"I'm sorry to tell you this but your brother is pretty much the definition on a man us hunters hate. He would be dead already if he wasn't Poseidon's son. Plus the prophecy said, The huntress must repay a recent debt, For the son of the sea to lead this quest. Cameron has never done anything for anyone but himself and that girl, Annabeth."
"Annabeth? Daughter of Athena?" he asked, taken back by the name.
"yeah... Why?" confusion sloped through my mind as I watched him mumble under his breath.
"I thought she died... " That's the only thing he said loud enough for me to hear.
"Percy, this is important! I think I know what the prophecy means... You saved my life and I don't think I can repay you for that. But I can give you this and hope that it's protects you and save you in battle." I took the hairpin out of my hair and chanted softly under my breath. I watched as it glowed brightly and when the light died down I was holding a bronze pen. I uncapped the pen and watched it grow into the sword Anaklusmos, the object that contains my immortality. I handed the sword to the awe struck demigod and smiled. This time I knew I was giving this great weapon to the right man. I could tell he would be a greater hero then what Hercules ever was.
PERCY POV
I was speechless. This definately was not what I was expecting. I took the sword and watched to shrink back into a pen. "I don't know what to say Zoë."
"Don't say anything. I may never get to save your life but this is the best I can do." she said softly. That's when I realised that she wasn't acting cold towards me like hunters are known to do towards all males. Why not me?
"thank you. And I would be honored to join you on your quest." with that I broke into a massive grin and we continued towards the big house.
~AT THE BIG HOUSE~
"How's Sally?" Chiron was pacing around the room whilst he threw occasional glances in my direction.
"what! How do you know my mum?" I asked trying to contain my anger.
"She was one of the best blacksmiths this camp has seen, being a child of Hephaestus and all."
My mum... A demigod?
"She also died 7 years ago." I said, my voice sounded cold and empty of any kind of emotion.
"I'm sorry Perseus, I didn't know." Chiron's voice full of genuine sadness.
"Please, just Percy."
"Ok well Percy, have you seen any powers you might have gotten from Hephaestus" there was a shine in his eyes that made me wonder if he knew something that only I knew.
"No. I started to doubt I was even a demigod before Poseidon claimed me." I remained calm hoping he would accept the lie.
"Are you sure? This is very important and I need to know the truth. It could be life and death." worry was creeping into his voice. Is he like this with all the campers? I wasn't too sure.
After a few minutes of silence I decided to tell the truth.
"I'm a fire user... Before I came to camp I thought I was a child of Hephaestus. Why is this so important?" I asked with a bit of confusion.
Chiron's face went pale white. He was starting to look more like a ghost instead of the Centaur that he is.
"Percy you must understand, this kind of thing hasn't happened very often. But in your case it has never happened. What you are is a tri-blood instead of a half blood. It has happened before but only with and Olympian demigod and a Minor God. But never one of the big three and an Olympian. And the fact that your a fire user means that you have more blood from Hephaestus then any other child of Hephaestus. This combined with half of you being from Poseidon can have two possible outcomes. As you grow older you could become an immortal because of you having more immortal blood then what you do with mortal blood." Chiron was slightly shaking by the time he stopped talking.
"Well that's not the worst thing that could happen, but you said two outcomes. What's the other one?" I asked curiosity entering my mind.
"We must keep this a secret for now. The campers must not know. You have to understand that right now you are probably stronger then all of the gods except the big three. All you power being contained in a mortal body might not be possible. It could cause your body to shut down and in the end, you could die. " instantly it felt like the temperature in the room dropped. A shiver ran down my spine.
Right then I knew. I wasn't going to turn immortal. I knew my mortal side was going to kill me...
