Chap 4 Percy finally figures something out

Word of the bathroom incident spread immediately. Wherever I went, campers pointed at me and murmured something about toilet water. Probably because I was still pretty much dripping wet.

I still showed him a few more places: the metal shop,where Bekondorf and Nyssa were forging a sword, the arts-and-crafts , where Gleeson hedge and a few other satyrs were making a statue of Pan and the climbing wall, which actually consisted of two facing walls that shook violently, dropped boulders, sprayed lava, and clashed together if you didn't get to the top fast enough.

Finally we returned to the canoeing lake, where the trail led back to the cabins.

"I've got training to do," I said flatly. "Dinner's at seven-thirty. Just follow your cabin to the mess hall."

"Annabeth, I'm sorry about the toilets."

"Whatever." I replied

"It wasn't my fault."

I looked at him skeptically. Yeah Percy Poseidon came down and made the bathroom explode. Then I blurted out"You need to talk to the Oracle,"

"Who?"

"Not who. What. The Oracle. I'll ask Chiron." He stared into the lake, and waved at a few naiads.

"Don't encourage them," I warned him. "Naiads are terrible flirts."

"Naiads," He repeated "That's it. I want to go home now."

I sighed again( 5 times today I think). "Don't you get it, Percy? You are home. This is the only safe place on earth for kids like us."

"You mean, mentally disturbed kids?"

I swear I came so close to gutting him with my dagger.

"I mean not human. Not totally human, anyway. Half-human."

"Half-human and half-what?"

"I think you know."

I had a feeling he knew, but did not want to admit it.

"God," I said. "Half-god."

I nodded. Finally! He figured something out! "Your father isn't dead, Percy. He's one of the Olympians."

"That's ... crazy."

"Is it? What's the most common thing gods did in the old stories? They ran around falling in love with humans and having kids with them. Do you think they've changed their habits in the last few millennia?"

"But those are just-" he nearly said myth "But if all the kids here are half-gods-"

"Demigods," I said. "That's the official term. Or half-bloods."

"Then who's your dad?"

My hands tightened around the pier railing. He just trespassed on a sensitive subject.

"My dad is a professor at West Point," I said. "I haven't seen him since I was very small.He teaches American history."

"He's human?"

Really? Ever heard of goddesses in Greek mythology, like Athena or Aphrodite?

"What? You assume it has to be a male god who finds a human female attractive? How sexist is that?"
