The Curse Of Power

Part 15

Elliot POV

After the battle, Percy walked over to me(ye I knew it was him), handed me riptide and whispered "Meet me in the woods after dinner. Come alone and don't tell anyone. See you there sis." Before vapour travelling away to Zeus knows where. Some campers were looking at me wondering what my connection was with the hooded man. It made me kind of nervous.
Thalia walked up to me" hey, do you know who that guy was?" She asked.
"Nope I have no idea." I said. It felt bad to lie to Thalia as she was like a big sister to me but Percy told me not to tell anyone. Thalia looked like she didn't believe me for one second but walked away.

As I was about to go back to do my regular activities, I was called in for another meeting in the Big House. I sighed, this was gonna be a long day.

When I reached the rec room, everyone was there, including the gods. When I sat down, the people started taking.
"Was that the guy in the prophecy? I don't think it is Percy. He used fire." Said Sarah.
"Whoever it is, he is an idiot. I could have taken that army myself. That guy stole the spotlight." Damien grumbled.
"What spell did he use of Atlas? He said something like ha-chu?" Asked Leo.
"Ha-di. It means destroy in Ancient Egyptian" corrected Annabeth.
"He is powerful. All of us felt his aura it was that of a gods. He was strong enough to solo 3 titans no sweat." Said Jason.
"And why did he walk up to Elliot after the battle" questioned Reyna.

All eyes turned to me. "Uhhhh" I stated with my extensive vocabulary.
"What she means is that she doesn't know who it is"stated Thalia. I looked at her gratefully. After the meeting was dismissed, I went along to archery but I couldn't concentrate. What if they found out about Percy? I had so many questions running through my head but I couldn't wait to see him tonight. While I was thinking about all of that, I shot at the target while someone was in front. I apologized for the hole in his shirt after I dragged him to the infirmary.

After dinner

I ran through the woods trying to find Percy. I went into a clearing and saw him sitting down on some logs. "Hey sis" he said turning around to face me. He still had his hood on and it was kind of intimidating. " Hey big bro, do you wanna take your hood off, it's kinda freaky." I said. He laughed and pulled me into a hug. I wrapped my arms around him determined to hold onto him forever. "Someone followed you, play along." He whispered into my ear. I detached myself from my brother and looked around. There was nobody I could see so how did Percy know I was followed? "So are you staying or what?" I asked trying to play along. "Ye I'm probably going to go hunt more monsters as this camp is filled with stalkers" he said while pointing to a tree.

Suddenly the goddess Athena walked out from behind the tree looking embarrassed. "Tsk tsk tsk. I thought the wisdom goddess would know it's weird to follow a little girl out into the woods" said Percy wagging his finger. I laughed. Athena looked over and glared at me.

"Welp I better get going, see you around sis" Percy said turning around and was about to vapour travel off when Athena shouted "wait". Percy turned around and gestured for her to keep going.
"I have to bring you to see the gods. You have to help the camp." Athena said.
"I don't have to do anything but I will make you a deal goddess. Pick 10 of your best warriors and meet me at the stadium tomorrow at 3" Percy said before smirking and vapour travelled away.
Athena looked at me and said "what's that about you not knowing who he is?"
"He told me not to tell" I protested.
Athena rolled her eyes before flashing out going to find 10 campers to fight the hooded man. I grinned, I felt bad for the people she chose. Percy is going to whop their butts.
