The Misadventurous Stories of Percy Jackson

Betrayal, Comfort, and Gifts

Percy hated camp. Odd. You would think hanging out with his friends and girlfriend everyday after the war with Gaia would be a thing to behold.

Sadly, that was not the case. Peace for Percy lasted a month. Max. It lasted until a child of Zeus came to camp two weeks into the month.

Percy had just said goodnight to Annabeth as she had an early morning when a scream echoed through the valley.

Without a second thought- or even waiting for his Wise Girl- he shot off towards the hill.

Percy got there just in time. A boy, maybe his age (Percy got angry- how did the gods miss this one?) and Alecto with her furies fighting. The boy was just barely defending himself with a four foot steel pipe.

"Alecto!" Percy shouted, not bothering to take out Riptide. Both her and her sisters stopped attacking and went down to him.

They were just as he remembered them. Leathery and old with bat wings. Yellow teeth and fangs stretching out of their mouth. Alecto changed into Ms. Dodds but Percy couldn't really see the change.

"Percy Jackson." She hissed though her heart wasn't really in it.

"Ms. Alecto Dodds." Percy said. "Huh, your name kind of makes sense now."

Ms. Dodds chuckled lightly at this. She had never met a demigod that could made her laugh.

"What is it that you need from us, Mr. Jackson?" She asked. Percy chuckled.

"I love how you have no mind for other demigods." He said sarcastically. He looked over to the demigod who was staring at him with fear and wonder while clutching his bleeding arm. "I need this one." Percy told her.

"And if we refuse?" Alecto challenged.

"Then I'll have to send you back to Hades. Without your consent." Percy replied.

Alecto sighed. 'If he only knew. The fates are cruel.' She thought to herself. "Very well. But you will regret saving him."

With that bit of cheerful and opinionated information, she and her sisters took flight and left a confused Percy to think, 'Why would I?'

He turned to the new demigod who stared after the Kindly Ones. He turned to Percy a few seconds later as Percy began to walk away.

"You coming or what?" Percy called over his shoulder. "Come with me or get eaten by monsters. It's amazing that I managed to get Alecto to not kill you."

They reached the camp to find an audience just over the hill with Annabeth in the lead. She gave him a questioning look and he gave one that clearly said 'Not Here'. But then Clarisse voiced the opinion of the crowd.

"Yo Prissy, what happened." Percy took a breath and chuckled.

"Nothing I couldn't handle." Percy said. "But we got a new guy..." Percy trailed off as a blue light shone from his left. He looked over to see a hologram lightning bolt floating above the new guy's head.

"What's your name, child?" Chiron asked as he came up from the crowd.

"K-Kevin." The boy stuttered.

Chiron's voice echoed through the valley. "Hail Kevin, son of Zeus, bringer of storms, lightning, and King of the gods."

Chiron bowed and everyone got on one knee to bow. Except for Percy. He did a bow but he did not touch the ground. Not that he thought that he was better than the son if Zeus but that everyone had to earn respect, not just be blindly given it. Even Zeus.

Kevin straightened up at everyone bowing. He could get used to this. Then he saw the kid that talked to those monsters. He just dipped his head and left and went over to the horse-man.
