A camp half blood experience¹

We reutrn the Helm

When Ares disappeared, where he used to stand was the helm.

It wasent technically a part of our quest to return anything but the lightning bolt, but it still felt kind to return the helm, so nobody else at Camp has to go on another quest to get it.

Annabeth picked up the helm, and we started walking to the shed that was at the edge of the beach.

When we get close enough to see it, Percy seems stunned.

"I've been here before," Percy says

"What?" I ask.

"Yeah, the day I found out I was a demigod when we fought the minotaur. My mom said that her and our father met in this exact beach."

We walk into the house, and it seems a bit too good to be true. It is spotless, no sign of belongings from anybody.

We walk in more, and Annabeth sets the helm of the kitchen table.

Grover goes to look for something, I'm assuming food.

I just go to sit on the couch, my head still hurts, and my wrist hurts a lot.

Grover comes over to me with the bandages that wrap around the injury, usually in a first aid kit.

"Think you can do this?" He asks.

"Yeah," I say and grab the wrap thing.

I start wrapping it around my wrist until it is fully wrapped.

I looked around for scissors and found one the coffee table that was right next to me

I cut the extra wrap off, and I got up to get some tape.

I went into a random room, and I found a little tape. I grabbed some and put it on the wrap so it would temporarily stay.

"Y/n get in here," I hear Annabeth call out.

I got into the main rook where we walked in and saw Alecto.

"Wait, so you've been on your own quest this whole time?" Percy asks.

Alecto nods her head slightly.

Annabeth grabs the helm and hands it to Alecto.

"Everyone deserves a second chance," Annabeth says.

Alecto grabbed the helm and disappeared.

"I know what I have to do now," Percy says.

"And what's that?" I ask.

"Go to olympus and return the bolt."

"What!? Percy, no, Zeus will kill you, either because he believes you stole his master bolt or that you're a Forbidden child," Annabeth says.

"If he goes, I'll go with him," I say.

"Nobody is going to Olympus!" Grover tries to protest.

"Do you want to complete this quest or have a whole greek war?" Percy asks.

"No war," Grover says.

"Then I'm going," Percy says.

"I'm coming too," I say, "Maybe I can get an answer on why I have two godly parents."

"Yeah," Percy says.

"Fine, you guys can go," Annabeth says, sounding a bit annoyed.

"See you back at camp," Percy says, and Percy and I head for the door.

I can hear Annabeth whisper, "Hopefully."
