My Father's Son

Camp

The last thing you want to do is go to a camp meeting covered in green goo.

Unfortunately that was exactly what Percy had to do.

He had already been running late and walked out of his cabin in a rush only to be covered in green goo. He knew he didn't have time to change so despite the teasing he knew he was to endure he ran to the big house, desperately trying to wipe some off on the way.

When he walked into the meeting room everybody stared at him.

"Umm, Percy?" began Annabeth

"I know, I was running late and got pranked." The son of Poseidon said pouting.

All the councilors burst out laughing.

"Only you Perce." said Will Solace. "Only you."

Chiron shook his head. "We'll know that everybody is here. We do have things to talk about." Said the aged centaur. "The gods requested we had a meeting as they have an important message for us."

As he finished speaking Hermes flashed into the room.

"Hey dad,"

"You alright?"

"You don't look,"

"So good."

The god smiled at his twin sons.

"I'm fine." he said. "Your mental state in the other hand..." He trailed off.

"Hey!!!"

The room defended into laughter at the Stoll brothers expense.

"You needed to tell us somthing Lord Hermes?" asked Annabeth once the laughter had died down.

The god's smile slide off his face.

HERMES POV

"Unfortunately, yes."

I paused and looked at my cousin. I had a feeling this would not go over well.

"Another god," I began "has been found guilty of helping the titans."

A few gasps were heard.

"Who?"

Why did Percy have to be the one to ask?

I took a deep breath.

Like a band-aid, do it quickly.

"Poseidon."

Silence.

"No. No way."

I looked up at Percy. He looked worse than I'd ever seen him. He had gone almost deathly pale and he was shaking.

"No. I refuse to believe that."

"What proof do you have?" Asked Athena's kid.

"We-" I started, before being interrupted by thunder. I sighed as closed my eyes.

'Really father?'

'You will tell them nothing.' He spoke into my mind.

I opened my eyes slowly and glanced around the room.

"I cannot tell you anything other than that the council beloved it to be sufficient."

"You have got to be kidding." I looked over at Ares's girl.

I swallowed nervously. "I'm sorry, but I can't tell you anything."

I glanced at Percy out of the corner of my eye. He still looked horrible, not that I could blame him.

"I must be going." I informed Chiron.

I gave my two sons who were there a hug before flashing out.
