~Percy's Pov~

I walked away and for some reason felt happy. I didn't know why exactly I was happy, maybe because I didn't have that responsibility of the prophecy for Olympus. When I got back into the cabin I was questioning where my quest pop-up was.

I smiled, speak of the devil. I got rid of the screen and began to search through my inventory. I wanted to check everything I had just gotten. I pulled out the skill-books and other items I got along the way. 

The thing that interested me the most first was the pocket vehicle thing. It was a small blue ball with a white ling traveling around it in the middle. 

Pocket Vehicle

5 Slots Left

WARNING: This item cannot hold a vehicle larger than 100 feet long.

I groaned the item was practically useless to me. I looked over at the skill-books and decided to finish with them first.
