When Percy, woke up after his sleep in the Galloway Forest, he packed up and left the forest, he didn't eat anything and he started to head to a town called Newton Stewart and it was only around an hour and a half on foot, he decided to walk instead of mist travelling. As he walked, he had walked passed many other walkers.
After the one hour and a half walk, he ended up in Newton Stewart and realized he had no money, in the Great British Pound. As he walked down the streets, he found a Post Office that exchanged currency, so he walked in and up to the front desk and spoke "Can I exchange $250 into Pounds, please." The women behind the counter replied, "Yes, hand the money over." He did as she asked and she gave him £250.(I used the current exchange rate from google.) Percy thanked her and walked out, he now needed to find some food. He walked a minute down the road, and there was a CO-OP, he walked in and walked around aimlessly as he had never been in a co-op before. He finally, found the meal deal section. They had selections of Pastas, and sandwiches. He picked up a Ham and Cheese sandwich with Mayo on white bread, and a packet of crisps, pickled onion monster munch as well as a Cherry Coke. He made his way to pay for it, after paying for it, he left the shop and ate it pretty quick, his next call would be to find somewhere to stay for the night.
He asked a stranger for directions to the nearest b and b, they sent him to Crosbie Villa B and B, as he followed the directions, he was given he found the B and B. He open the door and approached the reception desk and looked at the gentleman behind it, "Can I have a room for one night please?" The man seemed to study, the teenager for a second "That will be £75 for the one night." Percy handed the cash over, the man gave Percy a key and took him to his room.
As Percy, put his bag down, on the desk in the room he had noticed a map of the area, he noticed there was a library, which was only around 3 minutes away. He decided to have a nap before going to the library, he only napped for around 45 minutes, then got up and freshened up a bit, before leaving the B&B and making his way to the library.
He sat at a computer. He searched for the Celtic gods, he learned about Aengus, The "Young One," a clever Celtic god of love, poetry, and youth, next he learnt about Arawn, A skillful magician who ruled the realm of Annwn, the Celtic Otherworld. Next he learnt about the goddess, Badb, who was the "Battle Crow," Celtic war goddess and member of the Morrigan. Then Brigid, who was the "Exalted One," revered Celtic goddess of fertility, fire, and passion. Next, he learnt about Cailleach, who was the "Veiled One," an ancient Celtic goddess of the winds and winter. Next, was Ceridwen who was a Powerful Celtic sorceress whose potions brought beauty and wisdom. Then, Cernunnos who was the Mysterious Celtic horned god, master of beasts and wild places.
Then, he learnt about Dagda, who was the "good god," Celtic deity and chief of the Tuatha dé Danann. Then he learnt about Danu, the Celtic "Mother Goddess" and matriarch of the Tuatha dé Danann. Next he learnt about, Herne the Hunter who was the terrifying Celtic specter haunting the English county of Berkshire. Next, he learnt about Lugh. Lugh "of the Long Arm," Celtic god of kings, justice, and leadership. He then learnt about Morrigan, who was the Irish goddess of war, prophecy and death. He then learnt about Morrigan's husband, Neit who was the Celtic god of war. He then learnt about, Nuada the silver-handed Celtic god and first king of the Tuatha dé Danann. Finally, he learnt about Taranis, "The Thunderer," a powerful Celtic god of thunder and storms.
He then started to research about mythical creatures that were said to live in Scotland. First, he came across the Loch Ness monster also commonly known as Nessie. It was said that the creature lived in the waters of Loch Ness which is one of the largest lochs in Scotland, by the surface area it covers. More than that, it contains more fresh water than all of the lakes in England and Wales put together. Although nobody knows what the Loch Ness Monster might look like, it's depicted as a long-necked creature with lots of humps. This has led to the belief that she might be a species of Plesiosaur from ancient times. It said that Nessie, was very good at hiding as nobody had ever seen her before. When, Percy finished reading and before moving on to the next, he decided after he would attempt to travel to Loch Ness and see if this creature was real.
Next, he learnt about the Kelpie, the Kelpie was an evil water horse that haunts Scotland's rivers and streams. Almost every body of water in Scotland has a kelpie story, but chief among them is Loch Ness. This might be because the loch is so huge and has many small settlements near it. In most versions of the legend, it takes the appearance of a beautiful black horse. It would appear to someone, usually a child, as a tame pony. One of the things it can't hide is its dripping wet mane. The kelpie would try to entice them to ride on their backs, but once they were on, the rider might find that they couldn't get off! From there, it would carry them at a breakneck pace towards a watery grave. They're said to possess the strength and endurance of one hundred horses. Don't worry, though if you ever have an encounter with a kelpie and find yourself stuck, they do have a weakness. If you can take a hold of its bridle, legend states that you could control it to go where you want. Some myths say, that the Kelpie could transform into a human expect its hooves.
Next, he learnt about Selkies. Up in the northern isles of Scotland, you might hear stories of the beautiful selkies. In Gaelic stories, mermaids and selkies have the same name: maighdeann-mhara, or 'the maiden of the sea'. That doesn't mean there are no male selkies, however. When they're in the sea, selkies take the form of seals. Sometimes, they come up onto the land and shed their skin to walk around as a human. Depending on what story you're listening to, selkies might be able to transform only once a year on Midsummer's Eve. While most mythological water creatures end up as nasty and mean-spirited like the kelpies or the Blue Men of Minch, selkies are kind and helpful. Unfortunately, many selkie stories are romantic tragedies. You see, if you hide a selkie's skin while they're in human form, they can't return to the sea. Many versions of the tale end with someone hiding a selkie's seal skin to keep them as his wife. Once the selkie finds the skin, they can't resist the call of the sea, and they leave behind their family to return to the water.
Next, he studied about the Blue Men of Minch. The stretch of water that lies between the Isle of Lewis and mainland Scotland is known as The Minch. Like many bodies of water in Scotland, freshwater or saltwater, it's also inhabited by its own watery mythical creatures. The Blue Men of Minch are also known as storm kelpies. They're blue-skinned men who live in the water of The Minch. They spend their time looking for sailors to drown or boats to sink, using their powers to create storms. The only way to avoid the wrath of the Blue Men would be to have a quick-witted and sharp-tongued captain. Before they attacked a ship, the chief of the group would shout out a line or two of poetry. The captain would have to complete the rhyme, or else the Blue Men would sink the ship! Because of this, these Scottish mythical creatures have inspired many sea shanties.
Next was the Bean-Nighe. Bean-Nighe is a Gaelic phrase meaning 'washerwoman'. She's described in some stories as an ugly hag, dressed all in green. She only had one nostril and one big tooth, and her feet were webbed. Other tales say that she can look like a beautiful young woman. Either way, you could find the Bean-Nighe wailing by shallow streams and small pools of water. Here she would be washing the blood from the clothes of those who were about to die. The Bean-Nighe's a misunderstood mythical creature – a fairy that was only seen as an omen of death. She didn't actually cause the death of the person whose clothes she was washing. Instead, she simply knew who they were. If you approached her carefully, you could even ask her politely for their name, and she would tell you! Other versions of the myth allow anyone who sneaks up on her to ask for one wish.
Next, was The Wulver. Werewolf stories are very common to find around the world. Not to mention, they're a favourite monster of the silver screen. However, did you know that there's a special kind of werewolf that originates in the Shetland Islands? The Wulver didn't transform under the full moon like other werewolves of legend. They take the form of a man with a wolf's head, covered from head-to-toe in brown hair. It would live in a cave and fish for hours on a flat rock, known as the Wulver's Stane. The Wulver was not an evil, aggressive monster. In fact, this mythical creature was said to be very helpful. If someone was lost and couldn't find their way back to the village, the Wulver would help them find their way home. Families who were poor or were taking care of a sick relative would find some fresh fish left on their windowsill. If someone was about to die, they'd also sit outside their house as a part of their role of guarding the wounded.
Finally, he learnt about Brownies (No, not the food). Brownies (sometimes named as 'broonies' in Scots and 'brùnaidh' in Scottish Gaelic) are helpful household spirits in folklore. They lived in houses and came out at night to perform chores or work on the farm overnight. Doesn't that sound grand? No sweeping up or cleaning dishes! Well, you had to be careful not to take advantage of them, because according to legend, brownies were easy to offend. Someone in the house had to leave out a bowl of milk for the brownies by the fireplace for their services. Often brownies would pull pranks on people who didn't pull their weight in completing chores, so that's something to think about next time you put off cleaning your room!
When he finished, he left the library and headed to his B&B for the night. He walked in and laid on the bed and wondered if he should hitchhike his way to Loch Ness or just mist travel as he could appear in the Loch itself. He fell asleep quite quickly.
He woke up the next morning, and cleaned his room and took the key down to the front desk, he then left the B&B, he then tried to find a quiet alleyway so he could mist travel the 221 miles to the Loch, as he reached an alley way, he looked around and mist travelled directly into the Loch. He dived straight down and looked around and when he did, he saw a multi-humped sea serpent-like creature has most often been described, other sightings describe a black, scaly dot in the water; a whale-like object; something with an elephant-like head; a long-necked beast; and something like an upturned boat. He guessed this was the famous Nessie. "Hello" Percy spoke to the creature as it swam around.
The creature looked at him, shocked as it could understand him, in Percy's mind, a gruff voice came, "How can I understand you?" Percy looked at the creature and swam towards it slightly "I am the son of Poseidon, I am a Greek Demigod, I have powers over the sea and can understand all sea creatures, I take it your Nessie?" The creatures voice came "Yes." The monster and Percy spent a few hours talking before Percy surfaced on the banks of the Loch.
Percy, was completely dry due to his powers. He spotted some woods, he made his way in and set up his tent, he made a campfire and found some berries somewhere and made sure they were safe to eat, he ate some and chucked the others into the fire for the Olympians. After that, he went to sleep.
