Lunar's Plight

The First Prophecy

Percy's POV:

When I woke up I noticed a guy with eyes all over his body standing by the door of the infirmary. I started to freak out for a moment when all the eyes focused on me but I forced myself to stay calm. I tried sitting up but quickly found out that my muscles were on strike and forced me to lay back down with a groan of pain. At that moment Annabeth, Luke, Chiron, and Dionysus walked into the room.

"Hey, sleeping beauty is finally awake" Luke said which caused Dionysus to roll his eyes as Chiron walked over and helped me sit up

"How are you feeling Perseus?" Chiron says as he props pillows behind my back to keep me sitting up right

"Like my muscles are on strike and forcing me not to move for a while. But other than that, I'm fine" I answer honestly

Chiron looked relieved when I said that but a look of curiosity was glimmering in his eyes, a look that I learned was bad most of the time due to it most likely had to do with me.

"Perseus, Luke here has described what he saw during Capture the Flag, Annabeth has also given her testimony on the incident, can you please explain what happened when you were surrounded by the opposing team and when you punched Clarisse?" Chiron asked

"I don't know what you mean Chiron. All I know was that I took out the opposing team and then punched Clarisse. Then the world went black, then I woke up here." I say honestly and I noticed Annabeth frown

"Then explain why your eyes flashed silver for a brief moment or the fact that you fought like an expert even though you haven't had a day of training. Also explain why you were able to run faster than a Hermes kid or the reason why you were giving an extremely faint silver glow" Annabeth rattled off

I was confused, Eyes flashing silver? Fought like an expert? Run faster than a Hermes kid? Faint silver glow? None of this made any sense to me.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Maybe the silver stuff was a trick of the full moon, but fighting like an expert? I just acted on instinct. And the speed must have been a trick of your eyes, as I assure you I was running at a normal pace" I say seriously and I notice Dionysus look at me

"I believe him. No one would be able to say that and then come up for logical reasons why something would happen. He was standing in water before he ran toward Claritin clear so the moon would have sent off a silver light that would have reflected off the water, making it appear that he had a silver aura. The moon could have also reflected off of his eyes when he looked up at it the first time." Dionysus said and I was glad he was taking my side on this "as for the fighting, we know that Demigods are hard wired for combat so he could just be more attuned to combat than most, and the speed can be explained by the water reflecting off of the water making it seem like he was running faster than he actually was." Dionysus concluded

Luke looked convinced as well as Chiron but Annabeth was narrowing her eyes at me as if I were holding a secret that she wanted to know and examine.

"Either way, Perseus, time to get up and head to your daily activities." Chiron says as Luke tosses me a square of ambrosia which I instantly devour

After I regained enough strength to stand on my own, I walked out of the infirmary toward the lake. When I got there, I looked at the water, spread out my arms, and started to pitch forward toward the water. I hit the surface of the lake and I instantly felt my muscles relax and I took a deep breath of the lake water.

'Well, I know who my parent is' I think to myself as I drifted lower into the lake just letting the currents take me wherever they wanted.

After a half hour, a school of fish swim up to me and start speaking at the same time but not in sync so it sounded like a bunch of voices trying to say the same thing but was jumbled so it sounded like another language.
