Hey y'all. I have a little request of those that have time. I'm deciding what to do with TKC and MCGA. Right now TKC is closer on the time line, so I'm deciding details, like if it should be included at all. I would like include at least part of the canon books, but if I was including it I would probably do all of it and rewrite it like ATLOP, with Percy and Annabeth getting a starring appearance. Otherwise it would be a pain to clarify what changed and what stayed the same. Anyways, I have a little survey that would be a huge help for you to fill out!

Anyways, you should thank Hatima for the chapter being posted today as she bribed me with cookie recipes. The next chapter will likely be posted not this Monday, but the next one. There are only two more book chapters, and my bonus scene + maybe answering questions after this <3. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about how I research, worldbuild, etc. Or anything about the story itself!

Getting away from the island ended up being more of a chore than it had any right to be.

First, we needed to reach the boat, which required getting around the island to the back without the Kyklopes noticing us. Acantha (Akantha?) ended up raising a bubble of water around us, since I was far too tired to do so myself.

Then Grover remembered that his woolly mammoth was supposed to be grazing in one of the fields, sent there by Polyphemus because it needed food. Apparently, the woolly mammoth was not a dream.

Annabeth and Clarisse looked just as lost as me, but all the same we guided the pirate ship around the island until Grover found his... woolly mammoth.

Thankfully the boat was strong enough to hold it, it only weighed about 400 pounds since it was just a baby woolly mammoth. But getting it on the boat was a pain.

It sat in the place of honor at the front of the boat, Grover carefully looking it (him we learned) over.

"So, uh..." Clarisse glanced at Annabeth and I but we just shrugged. "How'd you get a woolly mammoth?"

"Lord Pan guided me to him!" Grover said, brightening. "It's really a great honor, I'm not sure how to care for him fully but I'll learn. I'll need to start checking coast lines more—"

"Does..." Annabeth squinted. "Does he have a name?"

Grover nodded, "His name is Momo!"

I blinked, was that like... an ironic thing? A joke over Momo in Avatar being so small—

"Like Aangs Flying Bison!"

"What."

Grover blinked at me, bright smile on his face in direct contrast to my flat tone. "I named him off of Avatar, Momo is the Flying Bison's name."

Annabeth giggled, eyes flicking to me.

"I thought its name was Appa?" Klara interrupted.

Clarisse snorted as Grover's face reddened.

"Uh... no I'm—I'm pretty sure that—"

He looked at me and I just shook my head, staring as judgementally as I could sitting with Annabeth on the deck.

"Oh... oops?"

"I'm disowning you as a friend."

"Oh come on-"
