The Sea Tyrant's Obsession (PJO x ROR) 18+ WTM/WTS Book 1

*The Fleece Works Its Magic Too Well

Note: Yes! Finished this before the weekend! Book 2 The Sea of Monsters is done!

"Poseidon, calm down! They're just children!" Rhea said, trying to soothe him.

Hades frowned, clearly bothered by the kiss himself, but added in a measured tone, "Please just settle down, Poseidon. There's no need to cause a scene again."

Apollo, Beelzebub, Buddha, Anubis, Thor, and Loki were also bothered by the kiss, though they didn't know the reason why.

Meanwhile, Zeus doubled over, laughing so hard he almost fell out of his throne. Hera, annoyed, smacked him on the back of the head.

"Oh my!" Aphrodite exclaimed, a mischievous smile spreading across her face. "The boy made the first move!"

Adamas rolled his eyes. "It's just a kiss on the cheek," he muttered.

I will kill him! I will kill that half-breed! Poseidon thought murderously.

New title on the screen:

The Fleece Works Its Magic Too Well

The title confused everyone.

"So the Fleece has already healed my daughter's tree, but what does the title mean by 'too well'?" Zeus asked, his brows furrowed.

That afternoon was one of the happiest I'd ever spent at camp, which maybe goes to show, you never know when your world is about to be rocked to pieces.

The gods shared confused glances.

"Rocked to pieces? What does she mean by that?" Zeus asked.

Grover announced that he'd be able to spend the rest of the summer with us before resuming his quest for Pan. His bosses at the Council of Cloven Elders were so impressed that he hadn't gotten himself killed and had cleared the way for future searchers, that they granted him a two-month furlough and a new set of reed pipes. The only bad news: Grover insisted on playing those pipes all afternoon long, and his musical skills hadn't improved much. He played "YMCA," and the strawberry plants started going crazy, wrapping around our feet like they were trying to strangle us. I guess I couldn't blame them.

Everyone winced at the awful music.

"He'd better stop that terrible noise!" Apollo yelled.

Poseidon gritted his teeth in fury, his aura flaring as he watched the vines lash toward his daughter, already imagining tearing the satyr apart.

Grover told me he could dissolve the empathy link between us, now that we were face to face, but I told him I'd just as soon keep it if that was okay with him. He put down his reed pipes and stared at me. "But, if I get in trouble again, you'll be in danger, Percy! You could die!"

"Yeah, fucking break that empathy link! My niece doesn't need to be in danger because of him!" Zeus shouted, making the other deities nod in agreement.

Surprisingly, you said something I can wholeheartedly agree with, Zeus, Poseidon thought.

"If you get in trouble again, I want to know about it. And I'll come help you again, G-man. I wouldn't have it any other way."

The Tyrant scowled. "No, you do not need to help him anymore, Percilla!"

In the end he agreed not to break the link. He went back to playing "YMCA" for the strawberry plants. I didn't need an empathy link with the plants to know how they felt about it.

Later on during archery class, Chiron pulled me aside and told me he'd fixed my problems with Meriwether Prep. The school no longer blamed me for destroying their gymnasium. The police were no longer looking for me.
