Just as he said that, everyone gasped. The room seemed to get brighter. The light was so bright I had to squint. Then I realized something odd. I felt a drop of water come on to my head. "What? What's going on? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
The one called Annabeth did nothing but point above my head and exclaimed shakily, "Look up."
I did. There was something floating over my head! And from what it looked like, it was made of water. It was.... It was a trident! Like the one Poseidon uses to control the ocean! My four new friends got out of their seats. Mom did the same. As they did this, for some reason, the lights flickered on and off, as if the floating water trident took up all the electricity in the cabin, which didn't make sense considering it's made of water. Then everyone did something that surprised me. They all knelt down on one knee and bent their heads down. Then Percy said, "Hail, Penny Jetstream! Daughter of Poseidon!" The lights came back on and the trident disappeared. "And my sister." He said as he got up.
"Wait, you're my brother?!"
"Well, I'm your half-brother. Well, we obviously don't have the same mom, but we both have the same dad. I'm a son of Poseidon."
"And now comes the part to where we explain who we are and why we've come here." Annabeth said. "You know about all the Greek gods right?" I nodded. "Well, you may think that it's just ancient mythology. But it's not. Every bit of it is real. There really are 12 Olympian gods. And sometimes, these gods have kids with mortals. Henceforth, half-bloods are born. Percy, Leo, and I are all half-bloods. You know that Percy's a son of Poseidon. I'm a daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom, weaving, and war. And Leo is a son of Hephaestus, god of fire and craftsmanship. But, since the gods are real, that also means that the monsters are real as well. That explains why you were attacked by the sea serpent. But I don't know why. Anyways, monsters hate the gods and their children. And since we're half god, we have a different scent than mortals. So monsters constantly come after us. Being a demigod in the mortal world is very dangerous. So there is this place in Long Island called Camp Half-Blood. It's basically one of the only safe havens in the world that could protect and train demigods for life in the outside world. That's where all of us are from. But we don't find camp on our own. Chiron, who you met, often sends satyrs to find us, protect us, and bring us to camp without getting us killed. That's what Gabby is. Well... half."
"Half satyr?"
"Well, yeah. I'm half satyr, half centaur." she took off her shoes and I saw hooves! Then she did something I would never expect her to do. She took off her pants and revealed her legs. But they weren't ordinary. They were horse legs! Well, a little bit. They had patches of human flesh in some parts.
"Ew! Gross! Put the pants back on! Why do you have some parts of human legs? Aren't satyrs's bottom half supposed to be all goat? Wait, scratch that. If your a satyr, then why do you look like a centaur?"
"Now that's complicated! My mom's a centaur and my dad's a satyr. I have absolutely no idea how, but they had me. I have the personality of a satyr, but the look of a centaur. But I'm a mix of both. Am I making sense?"
"But that still doesn't explain why you have human patches on your legs! It's just gross!"
"Okay, so, I knew that I was going on the quest. But I also knew that I couldn't go on the quest as a centaur or else I would be a super easy target for monsters. But I didn't fit in any of the wheelchairs that we have as disguises for centaurs. And Hecate is the goddess of magic. So I asked one of her children, who I'm friends with, to put a spell on me. The spell was that I would appear as a regular human for the monsters and mortals. It worked for a while, but by the time I got to Florida, the spell started to wear off. At first one of my horse legs replaced my human leg. That's what you saw the whole time we were friends. That's why I had the limp. My horse leg was a bit longer than my human one. But then when you left, it just got worse. And soon, the spell will be off completely. But, I'm hoping that through the Mist, people won't see me as a centaur."
"What's the Mist?"
"The Mist is something that is keeps people from seeing the real thing. But some gifted people, like my mom and our Oracle back at camp, can see through the Mist and see things the way they really are in the mythological world."
"Back to the quest. Why didn't you just go back to camp with me?" I asked Gabby
"Satyrs usually do come by themselves on a quest. But since you live so close to the Sea of Monsters, she was scared of coming up by herself so she Iris-Messaged us at Camp Half-Blood and told us three to come down to meet you two."
