Percy Jackson; Demigod, hero, mute?

(RE-WRITE OF MY PREVIOUS PJ BOOK LIKE OF A MUTE) Percy was left traumatized at the hands of his soon to be ex-stepdad. Hoping for a brighter future he embarks into what he can only hope will be a better path, a road to salvation. Though, it seems the road he's on now may be worse than the last.
