Six schools, six years, Poseidon shook his head a rubbed his face, he swore Percy was a good kid , but now it seemed he was a beacon of bad luck.
They landed on a balcony of some sorts and scouted inside, Percy kept close to his father , when Poseidon stopped and turned to percy, "here, you'll need this", Percy held out his hand as his father pressed something towards him.
"A... pen?"
His father grinned, "it's a mighty weapon Percy", Percy gave him a offended look, "no dad, it's a pen ", he resited what he said to chiron with a grin, Poseidon flicked Percy on the nose with a smirk, " go up to the fifth floor, and kill the monster there".
Percy felt his jaw drop, "what? I thought you said I was here for backup!", his dad shrugged, "you need not worry, ill jump in the second you need help, this is good training for camp", Percy moved to argue, but he blinked and his father was gone.
"Jump in he says- good training he says", Percy muttered under his breath as he stood in the elevator and punched the button.
Percy tapped his foot impatiently, weighing the pen in his hand, the door slid open, Percy crept out against the wall, he heard muttering just around the corner.
"Oh this was just to easy, of course it took planing, but for a descendent of one of the smartest gods? You are so very foolish", Percy uncapped his pen, and watched as it formed into a beautiful sword, of course he had fought monsters before, but not alone, the sword was comforting, it was balanced perfectly.
The talking stopped, Percy grimaced and pulled up his hoodie and slid on his goggles, dad, these are swimming goggles. nonsense! Those are fighting goggles , with both hands percy gripped the hilt or his sword.
Percy peeked around the corner, at a table sat a man, tied up around his torso and gagged, his eyes were set on percy, he jutted his jaw out and gave a muffled yell, Percy moved out and looked around the room, empty.
"Little demigod", Percy was caught by the legs, he gripped his sword as he was lifted suddenly, percy inhaled deeply, a large scaled tail was around him, despite his struggle ,he was tangled, with one arm trapped to his side and another above his head gripping his sword.
"My ,my, if it isn't the sea child", she held two spears, one in each hand , her hair was wound up in a braid, she gave a evil look, her tail tightened, Percy opened his mouth to gape like a fish, "Marian Lamia", Percy choked out
She stuck her chin up, "yes, it is I, the great -", Percy didn't want to hear it, he only said her name to distract her, as his father suggested he do , he swung his sword and slashed her across the face, she screeched just enough to distract herself and let Percy wiggle away.
Percy landed on his side and rolled away as she stabbed at him with her spear, Percy rolled to his feet and back slashed away her other spear as she lunged-er,slithered ? at him.
Percy stumbled back and ducked under another swing, he shot forward under it and slashed her arm , she screeched in anger and dropped the spear in her left hand, with one powerful shove, Percy flew back and crashed onto the table in front of the captive.
The legs to the table gave out, making Percy crumbled to the floor with it, he groaned and looked up, the man wiggled slightly, muffling words in a hurry.
Percy reached up and sliced off the rope around his torso, the man struggled out and- bolted...
He ran but yelped when he was met with a spear jabbing at him, Percy rolled to his feet again and shoved the man behind him, then engaged in another slashing and dodging battle with the godess, or whatever she was.
The man dodged his way through the fight and out of the room, Percy somehow ended up behind her and stabbed her in the tail, she screamed and slashed at him.
Her spear met her mark, percy was hit in the left leg, he cried out and fell to the side, Percy looked up at her, she yanked out his sword from her tail with a growl, a beam suddenly hit her in side, but she only flinched, she turned , she blocked Percy's view, threw her spear at something and turned back with a sword.
She grinned down and lifted it, thudding was heard when Percy closed his eyes in fear, suddenly he looked up to see a long bar around her neck, her back arched as the pole pulled back on her neck in a choke hold, hands held tight in either side.
The end of the pole of the left was a trident, Percy recognized his dad as soon and he practically lifted her up and swung her over his head, she slammed into the floor with a
bang.
"Dad-", he was hushed, Percy hung his head, Poseidon turned and pointed his trident at the woman, who lifted a hand in fear, "my lord wait! Please take pitty!", Poseidon didn't hesitate, she was impaled in the chest, his trident went clean through.
She began dissolving, as she did, Percy sat up to search for the man , "dad! He's-", he stopped when his father moved and knelt next to the body, the man had on a metal glove, it steamed, there was a gash bloody hash on the side of his head.
"He's unconscious", Percy exhaled, he gave his dad an ashamed look , "I'm sorry I didn't kill her on my own...", Poseidon was taken back for a second before he let out a loud laugh, "my son, you did it exactly right, this was just a small test", Percy felt a small burn of Anger flare up.
"Test- that test just got me stabbed in the leg!", Poseidon waved him down, "bah, back in my day we didn't have legs- ", he stopped when percy gave him a crest fallen look "-don't fear, we can fix you right up my boy!", Poseidon skooped Percy up , face bright and shining, "I'm proud", Percy covered his face with his hands, "dad I'm not a princess".
His father laughed ,Percy pulled off his goggles, his eyes settled on the crumbled figure as his dad walked to the elevator, "should we at least check to see if he's alive later?", his dad grinned, "I had hermes assure to keep track of his health, this descendent is very important to manybmortals, He'll be fine"
Tony twitched in his sleep.
Deep down in his mind, he saw sea green eyes.
