Kai bolted towards the woods - luckily she was strong and fit from years of swimming. She glanced over her shoulder as she ran. A mob of ten or twenty seal-people were half running, half waddling after her. She saw the boy that they had surrounded slip away behind a cabin.

As she entered the woods, she noticed a path leading away from the main one. She bolted down down it through the undergrowth. Behind her, she heard the seal people (telkhines, she thought, recalling some mythology research she had done) struggle to follow her down the narrow path. She saw a gap through the trees and burst into a clearing, a creek trickling quietly through.

As she ran to the water's edge, she saw a glimmer of gold at the edge of the clearing. She realised it was Percy Jackson, also in a web! She looked round and saw a telkhine a few yards away staring into the trees. Neither of them had spotted her yet. She didn't know what else to do, so she drew the dagger Annabeth had given her and silently approached. She raised it above her head and stabbed the telkhine, and it burst into a shower of dust upon contact. Kai slashed through the net holding Percy Jackson and helped him down. He thanked her and took her to the water. To her shock, he stepped straight in.

"Watch this," he said, pointing to a cut on his arm. As she watched, the wound slowly closed and the skin returned to its usual colour.

"What...but...how??" Kai breathed, amazed.

"My father is Poseidon," he explained. "That's just one good thing about having him as a dad."

Kai thought for a moment. Hadn't the man on the beach said he was Poseidon, and more importantly, her dad?

"Hawaiian shirt? Khaki shorts? ....Green eyes?" she asked Percy.

"Well, in his common human form, yes. Why?"

"I...I saw him on the beach. He said...he said he was my dad!"

Percy scrutinized her, taking in her hair, her muscles, her sea-green eyes.

"Do you swim?" he asked.

"Yes," she replied promptly.

"It could have been some Hermes and Hecate kids teaming up to trick you...the only way to know for sure is if dad claims you," Percy said to her finally.

Right after he said that, a faint glowing green trident appeared above her head, getting brighter. Percy gasped.

"What?" Kai got worried. "What is that? What does it mean?"

"It means," exclaimed Percy, "I've got a new sister." He smiled at her, and drew her in for a hug. "Welcome to our world."

At that moment, the trees behind them exploded and telkhines poured into the clearing.
