(During the night)
(In New York City)
(In Percy Jackson's apartment)
(Percy Jackson is sleeping in his room)
(Percy Jackson's phone starts ringing)
(Percy answers the phone call)
Percy Jackson:(on the cellphone)Whoever this is,either is wrong number or call me back tomorrow morning...

Poseidon,God of the Sea:(on the cellphone)Be careful with that tone,young man.Didn't your mother taught you better manners?

Percy:😳

Poseidon:(on the cellphone)What's wrong,Percy?Didn't recognize your old man on the phone?

Percy:(on the cellphone)Dad...I...

Poseidon:(on the cellphone/laughing)😂I'm just kidding,Percy.You should've seen your face.

Percy:(on the cellphone/confused)Wait?How did you...?

Poseidon:(on the cellphone)I'm a god,Percy.Remember?I know everything.Just like I know there's a taxi waiting for you to take you to the Empire State Building.

(Percy looks at the window and sees the taxi)

Poseidon:(on the cellphone)Look,I know it's late.I mean,not just because it's 4 AM.But,I wouldn't have called if it weren't an emergency.Now,get dressed and don't get the taxi driver waiting too much.
(Poseidon hangs up the phone call)

Percy: ...

(Percy starts getting dressed)

(Percy leaves his apartment and goes to the taxi)

(The taxi drives to Empire State Building and leaves Percy there)

(Percy enters the lobby of the Empire State Building)
Security guard:May I help you?
Percy:Yeah.1 ticket to the 600th floor,please?
Security guard:There's no such thing as 600th floor
Percy:Yes,there is.I have a reservation.My father's waiting for me there.
Security guard: ...Name?
Percy:Percy Jackson.Son of Poseidon,God of the sea.
(Percy shows the guard his tattoo)
Security guard:Oh my gods!Percy Jackson!Sorry for the inconvenience!Sir!Here!Take the key!
(The security guard gives Percy the key to the 600th floor)
Percy:Thanks
(Percy heads to the elevator)
(Percy places the key on the elevator and activates it)
(Percy opens the doors of the elevator and finds himself at Mount Olympus)
(Percy walks through Mount Olympus and passes through the gardens)
(Percy sees Poseidon waiting for him)
(Poseidon turns and sees Percy)
Poseidon:Percy
Percy:Dad
(Percy and Poseidon hug)
Poseidon:Look at you.It was like yesterday that you were still a young kid and now you are a young man.
Percy:And look at you,dad.Still inmortal and without a single wrinkle.
(Percy and Poseidon laugh)
Percy:So,what is so important that you wanted to see me.
Poseidon:Actually...it was not me who wanted to see you...
Percy:Really?Then...?
Poseidon:Follow me...
(Poseidon guides Percy and takes him to the Sun Palace)
(Percy and Poseidon enter the Sun Palace and see Apollo,God of the Sun and Prophecy)
Apollo,God of the Sun and Prophecy:Percy Jackson.Right on time.The famous half-blood I wanted to meet with.
Percy:Apollo,how have you been?
Apollo:You know,being awesome and handsome,as always.Being pretty busy doing God stuff.
Apollo:Do you like my home,Percy?
Percy:Yeah.It's so much...shiny...and brilliant...man...I should've brought sunglasses...
Poseidon:Perhaps you could turn down the light a little bit,Apollo.
Apollo:Turn down the light?What kind of question is that to ask?The sun never stops it's shine.Now now.Not ever.
Percy:Apollo,what was it so important that you wanted to see me?
Apollo:As you know,half-bloods inherit the powers of their respective parents.But usually,some are born with "rare" abilities.For example,Piper's Charmspeak and Leo's fire.One of my offspring,who has recently turned 12,As the God of Prophecy,I have foresighted that one of my demigod children will develop one of those "rare" abilities.However,I fear the worst if that ability is not controlled well.I want you,Percy Jackson,to protect and mentor my child,who is destined for great things.
Percy:Me...uh...listen,Apollo,I'm really honored,but my half-blood days are over,remember?I'm 30 years old.I can't go fighting monsters anymore.
Apollo:Come on,Percy.Remember when I became human and I offered you to help me and Meg on our quest.You said no.Now,I'm giving you a second chance to have a new adventure.You're the only demigod I can trust with this.
Percy:But why me?
Apollo:First,you are the greatest demigod hero The Olympus has seen.Not just because you're a child of the Big 3,but because of your heroic actions throughout the years.From restoring Zeus' Lightning to help defeat Gaea during the 2nd Giant War.Believe it or not,you're now a legend,like Achilles and Heracles.The gods respect you,Percy.Even Dionysus,who hates demigods,Hades,who hates mortals and even my sister,Artemis,who hates men.
Poseidon:And Second,Apollo's child,you already know him...
Percy:What?!Who?!
(Apollo conjures a ray of light towards Percy)
(The ray of light makes a projection of Jonah Hart)
Percy:JONAH HART!!!
Percy:🤦🏻‍♂️Of course!I should have known!ADHD!Dyslexia!Of course he was a half-blood!
Percy:😞
Poseidon:Percy,the kid trusts you.You were the same age when you got to know about your heritage.Who better to introduce them to the Olympian world than you.
Percy: ...Fine.I'll do it.
Poseidon:You will?
Percy:When I was 12,I had Chiron and Grover to get me started with the Demigod stuff.Now I have the chance to do the same to help a new Half-Blood.
Apollo:(hugging Percy)You're the best,Percy Jackson!
