After her lesson, Phoebe went down to the arena, where she knew her father was teaching a class.
"Dad, can I talk to you?" Phoebe asked
Percy nodded and told the class to take 5.
"What's up?" Percy asked.
"Why didn't you tell me about my powers?" Phoebe asked
"Since you haven't used them ever, I assumed you didn't have any, since demigods normally start to develop their powers around 12 or 13." Percy explained.
"Well it turns out I can communicate with horses." Phoebe said.
"Ok sweetheart, how about this, after my lesson is over, we'll go to the beach to see what other powers of mine you've inherited." Percy said.
Phoebe nodded.
"Where are you 2 going?" Annabeth asked her husband and daughter as they came into the cabin, grabbed something and then headed out.
"To the beach." Percy said.
"Why?" Annabeth asked
"Phoebe's powers are finally coming in, so we want to see what she can do." Percy answered.
Annabeth nodded and said "Good luck Phoebe."
"Thanks."
When they arrived at the shore, Percy said "Okay, we'll start with something easy."
And with that, he slashed his daughter's arm, leaving a good sized gash in it.
"Dad." Phoebe said.
"Dip it in water and see what happens." Was the only thing her father said in reply.
Phoebe did what he said was surprised to see that the water healed her.
"The water gives us a healing factor." Her dad explained.
"Cool." Phoebe said.
"Now let's practice controlling the water." Her dad said.
Phoebe nodded and watched as her dad held out his hand suddenly, the seas began to shift and mimic his hand.
"Cool." She said.
"Takes practice. It helps if you're in a life or death situation like combat, that's how I discovered majority of my powers." Percy said.
"Seriously?" Phoebe said
"Seriously. At the time, there weren't any other half blood children of Poseidon. So I was pretty much on my own to learn my powers, since dad doesn't really stop by to say hi these days." Percy said and Phoebe could tell her father was bitter about that.
"Why?" She asked
Percy looked at his daughter and knew he couldn't hide it from her.
"Your mother and I had a choice. Raise you and your brother here and have you be aware of the dangers of the gods and stay in contact with our old friends and our parents, or raise you 2 in the mortal world like mortals to try and keep you safe. We chose the latter." Her dad answered.
"Couldn't you try to make good with Grandpa Poseidon, I mean, now that we're here." Phoebe asked
"I think that's the perfect way to test some of your other powers. Come on." Her dad said, pulling her into the sea.
"What the?" Phoebe asked as their heads went under.
Phoebe wasn't sure was more surprising, that she could breathe underwater, see underwater or was still dry underwater.
"Some of our powers are that we can come and go as far into the sea as we please. Your mom can't do that, but you, your brother and I can. Come on, I want to show you something." Percy said, leading his daughter further underwater.
When they finally stopped, Phoebe couldn't believe it, since there was a huge palace at the bottom of the sea.
"What is that?" she asked
"Poseidon's palace." Her dad responded.
"It's huge." She said.
"You should see Olympus. Your mom redesigned it." Her dad said.
"Let's go." Phoebe said, swimming down to the bottom.
Percy laughed as followed her.
When they arrived at the door, Percy knocked.
When the door opened, Percy, barely had time to comprehend a huge figure greeting them before it swept him up in a giant, bone crushing hug.
"BROTHER!" his baby Cyclops brother, Tyson said.
"Hey Tyson." Percy said.
"What brings you down here?" Tyson asked
"I wanted to introduce Phoebe to her grandfather. But Phoebe, this is my half-brother Tyson." Percy said to his daughter.
"Hi Uncle Tyson." Phoebe said, surprised to see a friendly monster. But then again, she has a hellhound for a pet, so it isn't the strangest thing she's ever seen.
"Daddy will be so excited to see you both." Tyson said, showing his brother and niece into the palace.
"How's Ella doing?" Percy asked of Tyson's harpy wife.
"Ella is good. Daddy was very nice to make arrangements so she could live down here with me." Tyson said.
"We'll have to stop by before we leave." Percy said as they approached the throne room.
When the doors opened, Phoebe was surprised to see a huge man sitting in a corral throne. The man had her and her dad's jet black hair and sea green eyes. He had a long black beard, smile lines and was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts. In his hand was a 3 pronged-spear, a trident.
"Well, this is a surprised." The man said, rising to his full height and then shrank down to wear he was only a little taller than her dad.
"Dad." Percy said, hugging his father.
"Hello son." His dad said.
"Dad, this is your granddaughter, Phoebe. Phoebe, this is your grandfather, Poseidon." Percy said.
"Lord Poseidon." Phoebe said, kneeling before her grandfather.
Poseidon laughed and said, "None of that. Grandfather or grandpa will be fine and you are my grandchild, there will be no need to bow or kneel in front of me."
Phoebe nodded and was surprised when her grandfather hugged her.
"How is that wife of yours son?" Poseidon asked
"Annabeth is good, though she doesn't even know we're here." Percy said.
"Not that I'm not happy that you're here, what brings you down here?" his father asked.
"I'm teaching Phoebe how to use her powers." Percy said.
"Of course." Poseidon said.
"Dad, we need to get back to surface before mom has a cow." Phoebe said.
"She's right. Dad, why don't you come with us and meet your grandson Luke." Percy said.
"I don't see why not." Poseidon agreed.
