'A week later'

Percy was still weak from the poison and his father is beyond worried for his only demigod child. Sometimes he didn't notice that his making the ground shake or making hurricanes until Hades or Zeus informed him. Hades because of the deaths and Zeus because he noticed. 

The Seven, Nico, Will, and Reyna visits every weekend. Some campers like Clarisse, Chris, The Stoll brothers etch. The Stoll brothers once pranked Triton, the heir of the Sea and it didn't go well. Let's say that Stoll brothers have both gills and webbed hands and feet for a week. 

Apollo is trying to figure out the cure along with his sons and daughters, including Asclepius, the god of medicine but they never find anything. Apollo visits the son of Poseidon for his daily check-up. Ensuring the demigod is stable and alive or else he'll face the wrath of the sea. That thought sent tingles of Apollo's spine. 

Triton visits his step-brother once in a while to check on him. The truth is, the young prince is kinda bit worried for his half-brother but he acted like he didn't care. Sometimes Tyson went with him and calls Percy, 'Fish-Percy'. 

The Queen of Sea too. She was a bit worried. Both for Poseidon and his step-son. 

Poseidon walked towards his son's room to check on him. Everything is normal when he heard a groan from inside and the god burst inside with his trident in hand. He expects an evil monster or something harming his son but he never expects a 5-year-old little boy on his son's bed. Wait, what? 5 year old?! 

He rubbed his eyes and looked again. His son is indeed a 5-year-old. He approached his son and knelt on his side. 

"Percy?" He asked softly, afraid he will frighten him off. 

Percy raised his head and the god saw a pair of watery sea-green eyes. Poseidon was shocked, he never knew his son is so adorable when he was little. Then he noticed the tears. 

"What's wrong, little one?" the god asked as he wipes the tear on Percy's cheek.   

Percy looked at him confused, "Dad, why are you acting like I'm a little kid?" 

Poseidon smiled and tried not to laugh, "Umm, look at your body"

Percy looked at his now five-year-old body and yelped. His eyes as size as a saucer when he realized his legs are not even legs. They're fishtail, a sea-green mixed with cobalt blue fishtail to be exact. 

'Wait, if I have a fishtail does that mean a merman?' he thought

"I'm sorry, Percy" Poseidon looked at his son with pain in his eyes.

"Why are you apollo-gizing?"

Poseidon took a deep breath, bracing himself, "Iturnedyouintoamermanwithoutyourpermissionandnowyoucannotgobacktothemortalworldforfiveyears"

"Huh?" Percy asked, confused, "Can you speak a little bit slower? You're faster than Hermes"

Poseidon sighed and he repeats what he said. This time, a little slower. When the young demigod heard this, he bowed his head. 

He can't go back? What about the Seven? His friends back at camp? Annabeth? His mom? 

"Percy look-"

"Can you leave me?" Percy asked interrupting his father, "Please?"

Poseidon nodded. He got up and leave his son alone for a while. 

'Now his gonna hate me for 5 years,' Poseidon bitterly as he strolled on the halls of his underwater palace. 

Little did they know that they are not the only ones who have the same 'turned-into-a-kid' problem.
