The Sea's Serpent

The Recovery

AN: Let's go. Yay.

Time: A month later

"Ok, Percy, whatever happens, don't rub your eyes, okay?" Calypso warned.

Percy nodded, relaxing into the chair he was sitting in. The light that illuminated the room appeared as a faint red tinge through the bandage that covered his eyes.

He had already made a full recovery. He could talk, walk, eat, speak, even fight and work out. It would still take him some time to be able to expend large amounts of godly energy at once, but he was getting there. Baby steps.

On the bright side, he had had no more nightmares from the Void, so it was safe to say that he was sufficiently okay for the time being. He could have had sex, too, but as he said, 'I'm gonna watch you orgasm when I take you. Not like this.' Let the three suffer.

Well, he could not absolutely abstain from sex. Groping now and then was fine, in his opinion. Their tits and ass were too delicious to resist.

Percy drummed his fingers on the hand rest of the wooden chair. The last month had been boring, to say the least. Although he had three girls waiting for him, he could not help them. They were the ones to do everything, and Percy hated it. He had thought that after all the paperwork and building cities was over, he would retreat to Ogygia and do the chores around the house, live a happy life with Calypso.... and Artemis and Athena, now. Take them on dates across the world, to the best places, show them his works, spend time with them lazing about doing nothing...

That doing nothing bit caught Percy. He meant doing nothing productive, but the vindictive Fates cursed him not to be able to do anything at all for an entire month. For the energetic Titan, it was worse than being in the Void.

Though his three muses took the edge away. Calypso made the most delicious of recipes and cracked the best jokes. Athena was constantly making sexual advances on him, and giving him riddles and difficult questions to answer. Artemis was the cuddliest of the lot, snuggling up with him on the couch and playing video games. The four of them spent every night together on the couch in the living room or cuddled up in the massive bed on the roof, watching movies. Percy could only hear the sounds and try to guess what was happening, but his company's laughter or horrified shrieks made everything worth it.

He had learnt what had happened on the island when he was gone. Calypso spent an entire week getting everything back to normal. During that time, Athena and Artemis did everything around the house and took care of him.

Back to the present, Percy was finally getting the bandage off. His eyes were the worst affected, and Calypso has screamed that if Apollo had not given the eye drops he had, then Percy would have lost his eyes permanently.

Talking of that, Percy had to deal with the girls breaking down around him randomly. When it happened, he tried his best to stifle their sobbing, and they would only stop when he cradled them to his chest and sang lullabies.

Percy found it cute.

His only worry was that he had no idea how many times it happened when he was not around.

The day had been sunny, if a bit cold. They were at the equator, on a tropical island, which meant that that was not supposed to happen. But Percy wanted to experience the cold, as a short break from the year-round sun and warmth. The wind stung his skin, and the sunlight warmed it. In the absence of his eyesight, all his other senses had heightened. He could hear Calypso singing in the shower with her melodic voice- he made a mental note to join her once the bandages were off. He could hear Artemis screaming in frustration as she tried to clear a particularly difficult match in PES. There was no sign of Athena, which meant that she was in the library as usual.
