No More Trust

Princess Andromeda

Clarisse had gone up, the attic to the Oracle as she had been tasked with a quest. This much we knew, especially as a daughter of Ares, the weight of the quest weighing on her, and she had gotten her prophecy.
This also began a discussion on her part as Tantalus was whining about Percy and Annabeth, specifically Annabeth being dead to them.
Alice had thought this was utterly dramatic and stupid...Tallulah wasn't far behind in that department. Sisters for you, they are in tune, with their experiences and expressions most of the time.

Meanwhile Percy, Tyson and Annabeth had been climbing onto the Princess Andromeda as we speak.
Percy had a menace, especially for Annabeth, this is not unusual.
Tyson could smell monsters on the ship, which now had Percy and Annabeth on edge.
Percy and Annabeth had been watching and checking on this, in the time being.

"I didnt want anyone slowing me down" Clarisse said to her father but had Alice and Agatha with her.
"Oh Athena child and Apollo child, nice, I still got you a ship with some from the grave, soldier" Ares said.
"On my honour, I wont let you down, father" Clarisse said
Alice nodded to Clarisse, a solidarity, a friendship that is usually unspoken but they are genuinely genius, this also goes for Agatha with Clarisse. This trio could be unstoppable.
This quest will be a challenge.

Also;
Alison had been on the ship, and overheard Annabeth speaking to Percy.
"Annabeth?" As she stood to hug her, faining innocence, seeing her friend.
"Alison? Alison Simms?" Annabeth said as the hug was allowed.
"Glory to Athena' Alison smiled.
"Honour to Apollo" Annabeth replied.. before introducing Percy to which Alison said she knew of him, as every demigod had.
"Wait Apollo?" Percy said as he noticed the interaction.
"Yeah, i am a daughter of Apollo, I suppose you've heard of my sister, Alicia" Alison said.
"I do, she's like a sister, I know weird, since I am a son of a Poseidon but she is my big sister in a way" Percy rambled a tiny bit although still on guard as this was feeling more and more bizarre by the second.
Especially as Percy had feeling of Grover's memories or something along the lines of their bond due to temporarily remembering that he knew of this, and they, Annabeth and Percy had to fight Alison, and this had been a thing especially as Luke had been mentioned of being here.
A close connection to Annabeth, her older brother figure. Percy's whole prophecy surrounding and unfinished kronos business, as per usual and this was vague and unhelpful as usual.

Clarisse has been sailing with her crew, Agatha and Alice had been apart of although the alive ones, not the ones risen from the grave to be of service to Ares. Clarisse had been struggling with the captaincy but Alice and Agatha had been listening, and going along, going along to orders.

These quest are aligning to the one place, but vastly different and mostly improvisation on Percy's part. A dangerous thought, Percy thinking but this was a definitive sign as usual, but they work.

Luke was leading, and being his boastful self. Percy had been a caring person, worrying about Tyson, this was a beginning of beautiful, big brother moments, even if it hadn't been completely accurate to their relationship yet. It was just the beginning as I said.

'Smart kids joining our side' shtick. Great prophecy. That was a thing, that was a damaging point.
They needed to get off that ship. Also Tyson made a bomb, my sweet gentle boy, a distraction that was needed and they needed to go now.
They had gotten off the ship and now made their way, to their next point in the quest, although that was another detour, of disaster. This was a leading talk of The prophecy, Annabeth talking to Percy, and Annabeth talking about Thalia.

During this time, Clarisse tried talking to her crew, and it was major work, while Agatha and Alice had been watching, adoringly, admired her courage. That was their girl. They believed in her.
