Son of Artemis Book 4

Chapter 7

An: I guess I should explain that Tyson never left for the under sea forges and instead decided to learn what he could from Beckendorf first.

Percy's POV:

After Annabeth decided who gets to go on the quest Thalia, Annabeth and I split up and rush off to get the other three quest members, so we can start around lunch time or some time early tomorrow. It depends on how quick they can get ready. 

I was sent to get Tyson and headed to the forges first, as he would most likely be there, or in the pavilion eating peanut butter. Lucky for me he was in the forge, and he was seemingly working on more intricate automatons, which would probably be used for security or training.

"Hey Tyson" I said, which caused him to look up from his work

"Hey brother" He replied

I sighed, "so you have herd" I said, and he nodded

"You aren't mad" I questioned

"Only at daddy" he replied in his childish way. Well he is still a child in cyclops terms he's only 10 at the most for his size of being just over 6 feet tall

"There's another quest" I told him

"Really what for" He asked excitedly

"a string that can navigate the labyrinth" I told him

"That crazy maze that that dead person made for the angry bull man" He asked

"Yeah that" I said

"Good luck then brother" He said

"Tyson, you've been chosen to come along" I said

"But I have more work to do. Weird grape guy said demigods need to be armed" Tyson explained

"Dionysius" I questioned, to which Tyson nodded.

I sighed, "This quest is more important Tyson" I explained, "There's an entrance to the labyrinth in camp, and if Kronos finds how to navigate the labyrinth, he will be able to bypass our defenses"

"That doesn't sound good" He said

"It's not" 

"I'll go then. Test my creations, I can" He said happily as he finished the automaton he was working on, only for the automaton to fold up into the size of a playing card. "Collapsable automaton" He said

"Nice" I said, "is it lightweight" I asked, and he just tossed it at me.

"Don't know" he said, "Have super strength"

I caught the collapsed automaton surprised that it weight no more than a loaf of bread. "I would say it's lightweight. Good job on this Tyson. Anything else you created" I asked

He looked slightly embarrassed, but pulled out a watch, and clicked the side only for a shield to pop out with our adventures from last summer on it. "I designed it similar to your watch" he said, "For the scary blond girl, Annabeth" 

"I'm sure she would appreciate it Tyson" I said, though I didn't tell him about the polished bronze shield Athena gave Annabeth nor that Annabeth has the Nemean lion skin still. But then again carrying around a watch certainly beats carrying a 20 pound shield that has no collapsable form. And the lion skin doesn't cover everything perfectly.

With that Tyson gathered up some of his other creations he thinks might be useful, and we left to reconvene with the others at the big house

Thalia's POV:

So Annabeth decided on who she wants to bring and do to all of our history with Cyclops Percy was chosen to get Tyson as although Annabeth and I were accepting of the friendly Tyson, The cyclops thing still unsettled me a little. However, Annabeth told me to get Nico as I was closer to the Diangelo siblings than she was, so I asked the Stolls for where their cabin would be right now.
