Guest: Thanks.
willtemple34: I mean that he'll learn to use more than just lightning. As a son of Thor, that's what he's born with. But because this is a crossover with God of War, interactions and blessings with gods from other pantheons will allow him to use whatever power they have the domain over. Like, with the Shinto God of the Sea, Jakob may end up learning to control water if he accepts the Shinto God's offer to contact him after the quest is done. Plus, he wants more power to protect his friends.
boogbryant98 phs2016: Thanks.
MasterDarkElf: Sorry, but Hylla's in the harem, not Reyna.
Kenka: To answer your questions, Jakob keeps going to CHB because of the friends he has there. If he still had his way at the beginning of the story, he would've avoided the camp and interactions with the Greeks altogether, but he's made friends so he's not just going to up and leave like an asshole. He has no loyalty to the Olympians, who he knows are watching him warily, but his loyalty is to his friends. And as for Ryujin... Gods do whatever they want, and he's the God of the Sea. Plus, he knew about Jakob through his own means and wanted to meet him.
ayatoamagiri3425: Thanks.
Bromega2477: Oh he will. And as for who Jakob slept with... not telling yet.

A day had passed since Jakob's search on Circe's island ended in failure, though not complete failure as he had saved a group of girls from being raped by pirates. Now, he was back on the search for his friends, though stopped for the night to rest. He hadn't slept since before the attack by Scylla and Charybdis. Once he was well rested, and daylight had begun to rise, Jakob took to the sky and resumed his search.
A search that was about to come to an end.
Jakob was flying through the air, his eyes searching out anything that looked like a pirate ship, when he found exactly what he was looking for as he approached a bunch of cliffs protruding out of the water with a few sets of caves being just about visible.
In front of the cliffs was a large wooden boat that looked like the kind they had five hundred years ago with a pirates jolly Rodger flag on top of the mast. On the side of it was the name: Queen Anne's Revenge.
Jakob grinned. He'd finally found them. Then he noticed that around the ship there looked like some weird bird like figures swooping around it and diving towards the deck of the ship.
He sighed. "Trouble seems to be following us a lot," he muttered. He increased speed with a blast of lightning to get closer to the ship.
As Jakob dashed towards the others, he saw Andromeda fighting human-sized vultures with dirty plumage, grey talons and wrinkled pink necks. As he saw Andromeda fight the things with Riptide, he saw the faces of the monsters shift into ones Jakob knew, like Tyson or Sally and even... him?
"What's wrong, brother?!" Mimir called.
"I've found the others, well Andie actually... and she's battling the Sirens." Jakob said with a sigh.
"Sirens? Oh dear." Mimir said with worry, and with good reason to be. Sirens were dangerous creatures who sang so sweetly that it enchanted nearby sailers to them where they would be devoured by the Sirens. They say the Sirens sing the truth about what you desire. They tell you things about yourself you didn't even realize. That's what's so enchanting. If you survive … you become wiser.
Jakob just found it to be a load of crap.
However, he soon noticed something else. Where was Annabeth?
Coming to a halt in the air, Jakob withdrew the Levioathan Axe, frosted the blade up, and came down with a roar that caught the attention of Andromeda and the Sirens.
As the daughter of Poseidon looked up, a figure landed between her and the Sirens, resulting in an expokosion of ice that frosted up the Sirens before they were shattered to pieces when an Axe was thrown through them. Then the figure stood, turned and revealed himself to be...
"Jakob?!" Andromeda's eyes widened with shock yet joy before she rushed and slammed into him in a hug, getting a grunt from the son of Thir when she slammed into him but he couldn't help but hug her back. "You're alive..."
"Yeah, I am." Jakob said with a smile before he pulled away and held her shoulders, his expression turning serious. "We need to talk about your... adventures after the battle with the Cetus, but I'll need Annabeth here for that. Where is she? And where's Tyson?"
Andromeda frowned at him mentioning Annabeth but shook off the feeling that came when he did and explained what had happened before he arrived. Apparently, as they passed by these sets of cliffs, Annabeth saw that these cliffs were the home of the Sirens where if someone heard their song and survived whatever trauma they were forced to hear and endure then they came out from it wiser than before.
Being the proud girl she was, Annabeth believed she could take it and made Andromeda promise to cover her ears and not help her, even if she begged and pleaded for her to do so.
Andromeda honestly admitted that it was one of the hardest moments of her life, having to watch Annabeth shout at her in pain as she put wax in her ears to dull out the Sirens' song.
Then when she had turned around and looked back at her, she had somehow got out of the chain she had placed on her wrist to keep her tied to the mast of the ship and dove into the water and swam towards the Sirens.
Andromeda had swam after her of course and easily caught up to her before the two went under the water and she formed a bubble around them so they could breathe.
She was motionless at first and sobbing into her shoulder. No doubt, it had been too much for her then Andromeda thought. Annabeth always did have a problem with her pride.
When they finally made it back onto the ship and had Tyson take her to get rested, the Sirens had left their perches on the side of the cliffs and began dive-bombing towards them.
Andromeda also admitted that she didn't know where Clarisse was after separating from her at some point.
When Andromeda finished explaining, it wasn't Jakob who spoke, it was Mimir. "Great bleeding fuck, lass! Is she daft?!"
Andromeda frowned at the head as Jakob lifted him up. "Hey. Don't be hard on her. She-"
"Should've known better." Jakob cut in sternly, crossing his arms. "She was a fool to think she could withstand the song of the Sirens, nobody else has so shy would she? Just because she's the daughter of Athena? She needs better control of her pride and her hubris... before it ends in her death. And you... you shouldn't have listened to her. You should've stuffed her ears as well while she was chained to prevent her from hearing the Sirens' song. The both of you could've been killed! And that's not the worst of your foolish actions!"
Andromeda looked down, feeling ashamed at his words. However, something he said caught her attention. "What do you mean by 'least of our foolish actions?'"
Jakob sighed and shook his head. "Let's just find the others, then I'll explain before we go look for Clarisse. My best guess is she's kidnapped by Polyphemus, otherwise we would've known that she was safe."
As Jakob turned to head inside the ship, he paused when he saw a long scraggy looking feather that had remained from when he destroyed the Sirens. He shrugged and pocketed it, as it was a spoil of war to add to the cabin. Though, he did wonder if he'll get a spoil of war for defeating the Cetus...
Andromeda led the way into the ship, with Jakob taking a look at the ship's interior. Though there was a lot of dust and cobwebs all over the place, signalling it had not been used in however long it was.
'I doubt Bethy enjoyed all the cobwebs.' Jakob thought as he was led into what looked like some kind of dining area where he spotted Tyson leaning over Annabeth who had a drink of water in her hands and a blanket over her shoulders.
She heard them enter and smiled gratefully at Andromeda when she saw her before she noticed Jakob a little ways behind, making her eyes go as wide as possible.
She put the drink down and threw the blanket off her and launched herself at Jakob, hugging him tightly.
Jakob couldn't resist the smile on his face as he hugged Annabeth tightly. Despite disagreeing with her way of thinking, he was glad to see her again. As well as Tyson.
"You idiot! Do you know how worried I was? We were all looking for you." She sobbed into and beat his chest at the same time. Jakob felt guilty at making her and the others worried. "Why? Why did you fight the Cetus alone? If we'd fought it together, we-"
"-You'd be dead, Annie," interrupted Jakob, holding her tighter to himself. "I get that your worried, but I was the one strong enough to fight it. I had to, Annie." He patted her back gently, hearing her sniffle into his chest. He didn't know Annabeth was that worried about his health. It did bring a warm feeling to his chest, though.
"Still you were reckless," she said as she stepped back and began wiping the tears away and watched as Tyson came over and pulled him into a tight hug.
"Good to see you too, Tyson." Jakob said as he patted the Cyclops on the shoulders before he stepped away then looked at Annabeth with a stern look.
"You want to talk to me about being reckless? What about listening to the Sirens' song?" He said, raising an eyebrow at her making her shift a little uncomfortably.
"I thought I could handle it but it took me by surprise and what I saw made me want it so badly."
Tyson looked curious at what it was while Andromeda and Jakob had a look of understanding on their faces.
Jakob walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Look, Annie-"
"I saw my mum and we were together with my dad in Central Park. It looked so real and I wanted it so badly and would have done anything to have it. I can still hear it in my ears as if telling me I can still get it."
"Annie, I know you want it," Jakob said as he gave her a small side hug. "Look, one day that possible could happen. And if it can, I will help you. But don't focus on it too much. I know you want it badly, but for now we have to focus. "We should get away from the Sirens habitats. As long as we are near them, they can probably still inflict some kind of harm to us."
"Yeah," Annabeth nodded shakily. She smiled towards him. "Thanks."
Jakob smiled. "No problem."
They were so focused on each other that they didn't see Andromeda's look of jealousy at the two.
As Annabeth looked at Jakob, she blushed when she saw his top was damp and wet, which clung to his lean chest and showed off the muscles underneath. "Have you been swimming?" She asked, still blushing.
Jakob looked down and sighed. "Yeah. By the way, what were you two thinking taking the Queen Anne's Revenge"
Annabeth frowned and shared a look with Andromeda. "We had to get away from Circe's resort-"
"And you couldn't have taken the other girls that were there?" Jakob cut in with a disappointed look. "You left a group of women on an island with pirates, especially Blackbeard, who is known for his pillaging, plundering and raping. Do you not see the problem here?"
At his words, Annabeth and Andromeda's eyes widened as they realized what he was saying. "Oh gods..." Annabeth breathed in horror befor elooking at him with fear. "They didn't-"
"No, I took care of the pirates before they could rape the women." Jakob said darkly. He stayed his hand in telling them some of them were Romans, as he knew the Greeks and the Romans were separated for a reason. "They'll be fine, though. One of them is a demigoddess who'll pray to her mother for help. He didn't know what would happen to the rest of the girls, maybe some will join the Hunters of Artemis if they have a problem with boys, most will likely go to Camp Jupiter, but he hoped to see Hylla, Reyna and Kinzie again at some point, just to see how they're doing.
"Guys," Andromeda interrupted, wanting to distract herself from the fact she left girls to be raped by pirates... and also the jealousy she was feeling at the closeness between Jakob and Annabeth, which was aimed at the daughter of Athena. "We need to prep the ship. I'll do it now." With that, she went back to take care of the ship.
"Ah yes, as daughter of Poseidon, she'll know how to operate a ship." Mimir said, having been quiet for so long. "And how are you doing, Annabeth? Hearing the Sirens' song is not an easy thing."
"I... I don't want to talk about it. please." Annabeth said quietly.
"Very well, I apologize." Mimir said softly, knowing the girl was in pain and haunted from what she saw.
"It's okay." Annabeth said with a small smile.
"Come on." Jakob said. Annabeth squeaked when he picked her up bridal style, her cheeks flushing red. "Let's get you to bed so you can be well rested. We'll start looking for Clarisse and make our way to Polyphemus' Island. Where's your room?"
Annabeth grumbled before directing him to her room.
By the time he got their Annabeth was out like a light. He put her on the make shift bed and pulled the covers over her.
Jakob was silent as he looked upon her. She looked so cute while she was sleeping. He couldn't help but brush her hair back with a small smile before he left the room so she could sleep peacefully.
They were making good time to Polyphemus' Island. Pretty soon, the quest would be over, they'd rescue Clarisse and Grover and recover the Golden Fleece.
And that's it for this chapter everyone. Jakob's reunited with Andromeda and Annabeth, though the daughter of Poseidon is quite jealous of the daughter of Athena with her closeness to Jakob.
