Danmachi: A Daemon and His Sister

a Missing Sister and a New Labyrinth?

He was not having a good day, which was expected by now. He only wished he could have spent his 19th birthday with those he had left in peace. Too bad his little sister had accidentally wandered into the Labyrinth, and he volunteered to go after her on his own. No, he wasn't at all regretting going in after his little sister, just doing so alone is all, especially when Annabeth and Rachel had volunteered to go with him, he just figured since the death of Daedelus the Labyrinth wouldn't be playing mind games, he was wrong of course, because nothing was logical in his life, and he should have fully accepted that by now, but sometimes he was too stubborn.

Percy never realized how fast a one and a half year old blessed by Lady Artemis could run, until now, at least. Luckily, he was able to catch up quickly. Being a demigod had its perks, of course. As soon as he caught sight of her, she exited the Labyrinth through a door.

What really sucked, other than his sister running off of course, was the fact he didn't get a chance to receive all of his presents, but boy was he glad to have gotten the new wristwatch shield Tsyon made for him with Briares, it could even tell time in the Labyrinth! He didn't know exactly how it worked, seeing as he zoned out for a bit, but he knew they used some sort of time magic that had to do with Kronos while forging it or something like that.

Of course that wasn't all he received, he got what looked like the starting armor you'd see in an adventure game, given to him by his dad who apparently had it commissioned by Hephaestus and Hecate, I mean it had vambraces, knee and elbow pads, a strap on his thigh that connected to his belt that could be used to hold something like a sheathe, a magic satchel connected to the back of his belt, and some weird clothe cape that had a rope attached to it, and the satchel had a few gifts inside of it from some Gods and Goddesses he managed to get in the good graces of.

He didn't care about that right now, tho, because he was about to open the door Estelle went through and bring her back, and to think the day was going so good too, he even had a great wake up call!

FLASHBACK TO THIS MORNING 1ST PERSON POV

I woke up when I felt something resting on my chest and a light tickling sensation on my face, but I didn't sense any danger so I kept my eyes closed for a bit longer, I only opened them when I heard giggling, and was promptly met with the sight of Estelle with blue pancake mix all over her and smiling at my face which caused me to realize what happened and laugh with her. Of course, that didn't last long as Paul came in and said

"Sorry Percy, we tried keeping her away from your room, but she's getting too fast and quiet..." Which makes sense. She was blessed by Lady Artemis after my 18th birthday because I wished for her safety. "...although it would seem you don't mind."

And of course I didn't, she was only  a year old after all, and blue food is great, so getting some without having to get out of bed was a bonus, even if it was smothered across my face, he laughed as I told him as such, and of course he agreed because who wouldn't?

But going on from there I got out of bed, got dressed, and had breakfast with Estelle, my mom, and Paul, it was a fairly quite affair, only the normal greetings of "Good morning." Until I was reminded of the fact it was my birthday by Estelle wishing me a happy birthday, which caused me to freeze, because this is the second time I forgot it was my birthday, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

After that we all got dressed and went to Central Park to have a small party, mom and Estelle wore simple sundresses with sandals, Paul wore a plain t-shirt, slacks and comfortable but nice running shoes, I just wore a Back in Black T-shirt, my old Goode High Varsity jacket, jeans and a pair of Reeboks.
