Perseus Jackson: Titan of The Hunt

CH78: Pirates and Pegasi

(Artemis)

'If it isn't here soon I am eating the donuts.' I told Percy in annoyance at being outside in the frost and fog. Stupid horse couldn't even turn up on time.

'You mean finish them, I noticed you stealing one earlier. You're not as stealthy as you think you are. Besides you still have sprinkles on your top.' He remarked with a grin as I hurriedly brushed myself down.

'Hey I am not just feeding for me you know.' I defended indignantly careful to keep my voice down, we may not have been in the camp proper but voices could still carry back.

'You keep telling yourself that, you weren't much better before if I remember. At least you didn't kill the staff this time.' He said infuriatingly, it wasn't my fault the ditzs' they employed kept flirting with Percy. As a benefit monster unemployment was low if you wanted to work as a cashier due to high staff turnover.

'About time one of them realized it was bad idea.' I said crossing my arms.

'What can I say, I am a popular guy.' He added still grinning.

'Yeah you are how many people want to kill you again?' I said sarcastically causing him to rub the back of his head nervously.

'Exactly, I can always increase it by a dozen if you want.'

'Yeah can I have Christmas before I die.' He said in mock pleading.

'I will think about it.' I said with a cruel smile.

'That reassures me so much...We got company.' He said though I noticed that he started to frown looking skyward though the fog obscured vision past a dozen meters.

'What's the matter?'

'He has company, There are two monsters with him.' He said drawing Hurricane and I drew my bow in response. I noticed his wings suddenly appear only to disappear just as quickly as he remembered his inability to fly at the moment.

Before I could comment a black silhouette appeared in the fog coming into land nearby before coming towards us both of us pointing our weapons in its direction.

'Blackjack what the hell is going on?' Percy called as the Pegasi became clearly visible. The horse looked at the pair of us and the weapons we held before coming to an immediate stop and lifting his head and neighing. Apparently my newfound ability to talk to fishes did not cover horses, clearly that was purely hereditary to children of Poseidon.

'Blackjack what do you mean your dad and my brother? There are two monsters.' Percy called back. It was really annoying only being able to hear one side of the conversation, however it allowed me to concentrate on what Percy said.

'Percy, The original Pegasus is technically a monster though his offspring are classified as animals.' I remarked before the Pegasi could reply. Sure enough Pegasus was pretty treated as a divine animal by us gods but his origin as a child of Poseidon and Medusa meant he was either a demigod or a monster and he certainly wasn't the first.

'Ok then who is the other one.' Percy added causing the horse to reply and Percy to frown even further.

'Black what the hell is Chrysaor doing here? Shouldn't he being busy being a Pirate back on the Mediterranean?' Percy said angrily causing the Pegasi's hoof to twitch nervously as he whinnied in reply.

'I don't mind your dad Blackjack, admittedly I have wanted to meet him the point is. Why. Is. Chrysaor. Here?'

(Percy)

'I don't know why boss. I told my dad about what you said and he said he wanted to meet you. He just turned up with him saying he wanted to meet you again. I didn't know he was a bad guy.' Blackjack replied causing me to groan. This was going nowhere, the only way I would find out what the hades my 'siblings' wanted was to talk to them.
