(Fem) Percy Jackson and the Army of Chaos

Thalia

Why do I feel like Omega is lying?

But why am I so sure that was Percy who was here?

I shook my head.

Just go tell Chiron that Omega is back.

Then find Nico and Grover and tell them what I think.

I walked up to the Big House and saw Chiron and Mr D playing pinochle on the porch as usual.

This is how fast camp can go back to normal.

At least Chiron and Mr D. I wonder how many attacks there were before I was a tree.

"Hey Chiron!" I yelled. He looked up.

"Thalia? What can I do for you?"

"Nothing. I just came to tell you that Tide left and Omega is back."

He nodded. "I will alert-"

"I've got Nico and Grover." I said before walking away.

And speaking of the spawn of the Underworld King, he was sitting under a tree.

What was he doing there?

Well.

There was a ring of dandelions around him.

"Death Breath! Just shadow travel!" I yelled at him.

He shook his head quickly. "N-No. Dandelions."

"Dam it." I rushed to him and pulled up the dandelions.

Did he murder a Demeter kid or something?

"Hey hey hey!" There was a bleat.

Sweet.

Found them both.

"Just help me. I don't care about the fucking flowers. Just look at Nico!"

"Watch your language Theresa Green!"

Grover took a look at my cousin, "Juniper is going to kill me." And he actually helped me.

See.

Even though dandelions are part of nature this just proves Nico's point.

Dandelions are evil.

Actually...

Nico just has bad luck with plants.

I mean, at least I only became a tree.

We finally created an opening and Nico flung himself at us.

As I fell to the ground I wondered where his sister was.

Shouldn't it be her doing this for her brother?

"Don't worry Nico. The big bad flowers can't hurt you anymore."

"Shut up."

"Why were you looking for him?" Grover asked.

"How'd you know?" I was looking for him too...

"Just a guess. You typically wouldn't pay that close attention to him. He kinda fades into the shadows. No offense Nico."

"None taken. I do do it on purpose."

"Tide left." I decided to be blunt.

"What?!" Nico rolled off of me."Without saying goodbye!?"

Nodding, I sat up. "But Omega says if they didn't switch places at that moment Alpha would have died."
