It had been days, and so far there were no results. Percy had scoured the country, seeking the lair of the gorgons. After all, what else could he do? She was the only lead he had on how to get home. He tried to recall what he could of the story of Perseus, failing miserably. If it couldn't kill him he saw no reason to learn about it, and as such, had never learned the story of Perseus.

Percy realized he had no clue what to do. He was far from home, with no clue how to get back. He couldn't find the gorgons. It was hopeless, how could he have thought he could do this? He had no choice! He had to find them.

"Fear not, young hero. We will help you." A gentle voice called. He looked up to see a face he recognized, but never expected- Athena. Her grey eyes were cold, calculating. However, the smile on her face spoke of help and sympathy. Besides her stood Hermes, a mischievous smile on his face.

"Athena- I mean Lady Athena and Lord Hermes!" Percy corrected himself, remembering that he was now Perseus, and feared being smited, "What are you doing here?" Percy asked, bowing as he did not wish to anger the two divine beings.

"Oh, young Perseus, rise. We deliver help, for your battle with the fearsome Medusa," Hermes announced, " After all, siblings must help each other."

"Siblings?" Percy mumbled. He had forgotten, the original Perseus was a son of , the gods recognized him as son of the Sky. Which meant even they wouldn't know how to help him home.

"Yes, hero, siblings. For you are a son of Zeus," Hermes smiled, "As such we have come to bring aid, as family must do."

Percy nodded, knowing he was in desperate need of help," Thank you Lord Hermes and Lady Athena. How do I find Medusa?"

Athena smiled, it was a firm, commanding smile," Perseus, you must seek out the cave of the Graeae, the Grey Ladies."

Percy sighed inwardly, remembering his experience with the Grey Ladies and their taxi. However, seeing as he had no other options he knew he would have to revisit the old hags. " Where would I find the Graeae, Lady Athena?"

"They live in a cave by the sea. You must find this cave and force them to tell you of the location of Medusa's lair," Athena instructed, "However you will need weapons. I give you my shield, so you may avoid her gaze," and with that she handed him her shield, which shone brightly, showing him his reflection.

" I bear the gift of my winged shoes, so you may travel fast and far," Hermes said kindly." I also give you the sickle which was used by Cronus to castrate his father."

'Great,' Percy thought, ' I can't exactly castrate Medusa. I suppose it must be celestial bronze, so I can kill her.'

"Thank you my Lord and Lady," Percy said.

" Now leave, my hero, and kill Medusa. Prove me right in my assumptions of your strength."
