Chapter 2


Sally's POV


I look through the window. I see a man that looks like he was ready to go fishing with old pals. And all of a sudden, I realized who it was. All at once, I start to panic. Should Estelle know about him? Or should I put her in more danger by knowing this info? All of a sudden, I thought about what Percy would do. "Family comes first." he had said. So reluctantly, I let "him" in.

Poseidon. Or Neptune if you prefer.

Estelle looked up from her drawings. She looked like she might've said "Why did mommy bring in this complete random stranger in fishing attire?". Instead I walked up to her and said, "Honey, meet your grandpa. He's an Olympian. A god, if you want to.". Estelle now looked more confused than ever. Poseidon walked up to her with his sea green eyes, just like Percy, and said "Hey kiddo." And all of a sudden, Poseidon changed form. Now he was in a Roman toga, without his casual fishing gear. "What happened?" I wondered in my head. Estelle just giggled and said "It's the king!"

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously as possible. She told me about her dream just today. Then it hit me. Some of Percy's experiences at the Roman camp had passed onto her. She wasn't more Greek than she was Roman. Poseidon/Neptune walked up to her and gave her a small colored pen, just like Percy's. "You will always be my little princess." he said. Then he passed into the cold sea smelling air and vanished.

Estelle continued to color her drawing while I reflected on this encounter. What could this mean for Estelle? It might've been best to call Percy, but no doubt he was in his classes. However, Percy never paid attention to any of his classes. I felt it was best to let him know. So I let the phone ring.

Percy POV

"And that kids, is how you make basic bleach!" Dr. Boring said. It was a usual day, and classes were almost done. Annabeth promised she had a surprise for us boys, and I was genuinely curious of what could happen. See, after the giant war, I had to go to  c o l l e g e. Good news is, it's at the Roman Camp over in Oakland California. It's genuinely a far distance from our house, but I get to see all of my friends.

Sometimes I'd see Hazel and Frank talking about things praetors talk about. Sometimes the Hunters of Artemis would stop by and I'd get to see Thals and Reyna for a while. And sometimes I'd just get plain notes from Nico, asking for me to cooperate and help him cause a distraction long enough so that these Trog-whatever-they-are can dig underground to Tartarus to find a certain Titan. I also got to IM(Iris Message) Piper once in a while, and got to see her girlfriend Shel. We may have handled a few threats for her to take good care of Piper, but you don't need to know that.

And sometimes I'd drive by to see Mr. Chase making some new concoction out of celestial bronze/imperial gold. I'd been dying to ask him something, but I didn't think Annie was ready for it yet. And most times I would see Leo teaching a bunch of kids about socket wrenches or something(What? I know nothing about tools!). Calypso was in a high school nearby, and would soon join us(We're trying to convince her). A "MR. JACKSON!" snapped me out of my daydreaming. "Could you please explain to us the steps to make homemade bleach?" Dr. Boring said in his nicest voice possible.

*Ring Ring* My phone was ringing. Thank you whoever it was! "Uhhhhh I gotta take this call. Be right back!" I said as I ran out of the room. It was mom. "Yea mom?" I said. "Percy, this is important news for everyone in the family, but I thought you should be the first to know." "Sure, lay it on me," I replied. I was not prepared for what happened next.

Thx for reading this crapshoot of a book. I'd be happy if these first chapters at least got five likes. That'd be awesome. Thx again, and love y'all.
