Percy repeated the prophecy to Chiron, who sighed.

"Who will you take on your quest?" he asked.

⚔️🛡⚔️

That was an excellent question after a few minutes of thinking.

"Clarisse from the Ares cabin and Adam from the Demeter cabin," I told him. He nodded and sent a satyr to get them.

"What's going on, Percy?" Adam asked.

"We are going on a quest," I told them. "So pack your bags. We leave at dawn."

The two nodded. We went our separate ways.

⚔️🛡⚔️

The next morning we all had some rolls of cash and drachmas. Clarisse had the most. Clarisse had her electric spear, and Adam had a pair of daggers. I had no idea where they hid them, but I wore mine on my back with my bag over it.

Argus, who I think knew who my godly parent was seeing as he treated me like a brother, was going to drive us. Chiron came to see us off. As Adam got in, Chris came to us with some regular looking shoes.

"These might help," he said. "Maia!"

The shoes grew wings. He repeated the word, hugged Clarisse, and wished us luck. Chiron did the same.

As we drove, I looked at the shoes.

"Adam, you should use these," I told him.

"Why?" he asked.

"For all, I know Zeus might hate my parent. I'd rather not risk it," I told him. This was true to an extent. He just didn't like me. At all.

Adam nodded and took the shoes.

⚔️🛡⚔️

We had finally reached a long island bus station around 10-ish. We bought our tickets and made our way west.

"So, we are looking for the god who has turned?" Clarisse asked. I nodded as I petted Fotia. "Then, we should talk to Hades."

"Right. But we also need to be prepared in case he has nothing to do with this." they nodded.

After a few minutes, filled with the sounds of Adam's GameBoy, we got off for a bathroom break in manhattan. Fotia and I went and bought some food for everyone at the nearby fast food place. We got back on with Adam having a nervous look.

"Hey, Percy?" he said quietly.

"What's up?" I responded.

"Is this you?" Adam passed me a wrinkled paper as Clarisse looked at it over my shoulder.

⚔️🛡⚔️

Percy's eyes widened. It was a missing paper. A photo of when Percy was five with his mom. Both smiling. It read:

Missing

Perseus Jackson: now 12 years old

Last seen by his stepfather seven years ago

If you know anything, please contact:

And went on with a list of numbers. His eyes dulled. Was Gabe still looking? That seemed a little out of character for him. Percy turned it over before having Fotia burned the paper.

"That was... a long time ago," he said.

"But they are still looking! You should go see them." Adam said.

"Not happening, alright. This conversation is over." and it was.

Ok, so I'm a little annoyed with Wattpad. I have things prewritten, so all I have to do is copy and paste, but I'm finding what I had in bold or in the middle suddenly isn't. So all the work I did in making a difference when certain characters talk went down the drain.

Moving on, how was the first day back to face to face? I know for me it was a bit annoying. Mainly because I learned one of the symptoms they look for is biased to me. They look for headaches, but I'm prone to those, so that can complicate things.

Now because last week was all over the place, I've decided to extend your time to choose the guidebook chapter.

these are your choices for this weeks guidebook chapter:

1. James Cantu
2. Doctor who references
3. Chaos's and Order's powers
4. Only a little

As always, choose wisely.
