It was really painful. Every inch of my body ached. Then, it was over, and i felt weaker, way way weaker. There was another bright flash and boom, I was now in a dark alley. I searched my pocket and did not feel riptide, which meant of that they took riptide when I was made mortal. Then Hestia appeared before me."Percy, I know you are not guilty and i want you to practise your skills in all forms of combat, you will need it later, I am sorry Percy, but I cannot interact with you much because of the ancient laws" she said. "Thank you Lady Hestia, thank you for believing in me" I said and bowed."There is no need to bow to me Percy" she said with kindness radiating off her and flashed off. I found my way out of the alley and knew I was in New York, I had been here before. I quickly made my way to mom's apartment, the only sensible thing I could do. I knocked on the door which was opened by my mom who gave me a bone crushing hug. "What is it Percy, you look really sad" ? I quickly explained everything to her and by the end, tears were leaking out of my eye. Mom hugged me and said "don't worry honey, they don't deserve you, and you can stay here for as long as you want". "Mom, Lady Hestia told me to practise combat, which probably means there is still danger, and I definitely don't want to put you and Paul in danger, so I can't stay, but I sure will visit"."Plus, I want a new start, away from all this, a normal life" I said. "I understand Percy dear, I am not going gonna stop you" she said. I thanked mom and quickly packed some clothes up. "Um mom, can I have some cookies, I am kind of hungry" I said as my stomach grumbled. "Sure Percy" she said as she was laughing, while I pouted. She gave me a plate full of blue cookies and I gobbled them up and made sure to pack some too before going.
