Percy Jackson: The Wolf Curse

Chapter 19: New Adventures

[Aria's POV:]

The mission to find Grandma Sally was going to be harder than we thought. We didn't know where to start looking, what to say when we found her and how to prove she was our grandma! I was panicking to make a long story short.

"Onee-chan, calm down. Lets just go to Daddy's old home like you told me" oh yeah probably should start there now that I think about it. I think Dad's silly choices rubbed off on me, woe is me...

"Good idea sis, but we'll need a map. I haven't been there since Dad first found me" I knew just where to get one.

[Very Smol Time-skip:][camp Half Blood:]

"Aunty Thaliaaaa" that's right, my aunt Thalia, soon second mother when dad gets back an grows an extra pair, She is weak to our presence, as is everyone in the hunt.

"Hey Aria, what's up?" time to execute plan puppy eyes! It's a multipart plan Coral and I made against dad. Though it works against pretty much everyone. Minus mu- Artemis, she became immune.

"We want a map!" part 1, ask simple questions so they only know what they need to.

"A map? What do you want a map for?" Here's the tricky part: you have to be curious, but not show too much of your actual motive!

"I REALLY wanna see one! me and Coral wanna plan a small American holiday!... for when daddy gets back..." sprinkle some woe is me and they'll start to break. And if that doesn't work... Unleash the big sad eyes. None can withstand its power!

"Hmm I can ask Chiron for a map of America I suppose" dam, that's a big map.. Better than nothing I suppose. Seems I can sheath the puppy eyes for today.

"Yay!" acting childish is so worth the benefits. Thalia walked off to the big house with us in tow, hold on grandma Sally we're gonna bring you back!

[Med's Food an Fuel:][Medusa's POV:]

"Damian, can I speak to you for a moment?" I still felt guilty for this, they were the first demigods to show me any such kindness in a very long time. But the man's orders were not to be ignored, the power irradiated from his voice alone terrified me more than the feeling of a hot blade at my neck...

"Hmm? Sure" really? He said yes to that with not even an ounce of suspicion? This guy is gonna guilt trip me to death at this rate.

We moved away from the table, I noticed the belladonna spawn was about to interject, but a look from Damian seemed to do the trick in calming her, seems he isn't just some pet to her if she listens to him like that. We walked round the back of the counter and through the staff door into what was now my home since I had reformed.

"So, what is it you need to ask?" I noticed just how relaxed he was, as if he felt I could do no harm or that I wouldn't.. I only wish I knew which of those was true myself.

"I wish to join you on your travels, my daughter has been cooped up in this place all her life.. I want her to see the world, to see adventure. It may be dangerous, but I feel this will be our only chance to escape being seen as nothing more than monsters" while my reason for even asking was to trick, Every word I had spoken came from my heart. I'm tired of living in fear, hades I'd even give up revenge for another shot at harmonious peace.

"Are you sure? Alaska is cold and Last I checked snakes are cold blooded. Could be deadly to you" Alaska? Damn it, he was right. But unlike snakes, we had a lovely invention on our side. Clothes.

"That's what clothes are for" I replied back somewhat snarkily, It was a stupid question afterall.

"Well, I don't see a reason not to, but this is not gonna be easy to convince Reyna about. Plus it's a tight fit as is with our current surprise occupants" If I weren't under orders, I'd probably have given up here, but I was so I couldn't. I did have a solution however.
