Before Percy left Olympus, he decided to make a few calls. It wasn't easy, but he finally found a quiet fountain in a corner garden and sent an Iris-message to his brother, Tyson, under the sea. He told him about their adventures, and Bessie—he wanted to hear every detail about the cute baby cow serpent—and he assured him that Annabeth was safe and that yes, Carrots was looking forward to seeing him. Finally he got around to explaining how the shield he'd made Percy last summer had been damaged in the manticore attack.
"Yay!" Tyson said. "That means it was good! It saved your life!"
"It sure did, big guy," Percy said. "But now it's ruined."
"Not ruined!" Tyson promised. "I will visit and fix it next summer."
The idea picked him up instantly. He guessed he hadn't realized how much he had missed having Tyson around.
"Seriously?" Percy asked. "They'll let you take time off?"
"Yes! I have made two thousand seven hundred and forty-one magic swords," Tyson said proudly, showing his brother the newest blade. "The boss says 'good work'! He will let me take the whole summer off. I will visit camp!"
They talked for a while about war preparations and their dad's fight with the old sea gods, and all the cool things we could do together next summer, but then Tyson's boss started yelling at him and he had to get back to work.
Percy dug out his last golden drachma and made one more Iris-message.
"Sally Jackson," he said. "Upper East Side, Manhattan."
The mist shimmered, and there was his mom at their kitchen table, laughing and holding hands with her friend Mr. Blowfish.
He felt so embarrassed, he was about to wave his hand through the mist and cut the connection, but before he could, his mom saw him.
