Percy's POV:

"Land Captain!" I heard a nymph yell from the mast and I nodded as I looked over at the Queen Anne's Revenge to see Edward chuckling

"They aren't the best, but with time they will be great" He called over and I nodded slightly as we both dropped anchor

I walked over to the port side and Edward looked over.

"This is where we part ways for now my friend, I thank you for everything" I said and Edward chuckled

"Don't worry about it lad, it will always be a pleasure to sail with you" He replied and I nodded with a small smile on my face "Now, go and make an entrance worthy of a pirate Percy" He finished and I smirked

"Will do" I said before I sprinted to the bow of the ship before I leapt off and dived into the water

I willed the water to rocket me forward and in a matter of moments I was just under the surface of the water moving at a breakneck pace. After a few minutes I slowed down and walked onto the beach and quickly made my way to the road.

'Your vehicle won't do us much good, you lack your abilities still' Midgard said and I sighed and nodded

"Any good way to get to where we need to go faster? Because we're in Spain correct?" I ask him and several people look at me strangely before they move away quickly

'I do have one contact, and he does owe me a favor' Midgard said and he went silent for a few minutes before I heard the clopping of hooves 'There we are' Midgard commented as a pure black horse with white orbs for eyes galloped up to us and stopped before looking directly at me

'This is the one?' The horse said in a bored tone and Midgard hummed slightly 'Very well, I am Nebula, and you are?'

"Percy Jackson" I said simply and Nebula nodded his head slightly before gesturing for me to get on

I climbed on and surprisingly felt a saddle on the back before I looked down and spotted reigns in my hands. I didn't question it as I faced east and flicked the reigns causing Nebula to rear up before coming down. When his hooves hit the cement we launched off, we made several quick turns that if anyone else tried, they would have gotten whiplash immediately. Soon, we were racing down the side of a highway that went east, passing cars at a speed that would make Arion look like a snail.

'I'd shift outfits, if you don't want to make yourself known that is' Midgard said and I nodded as I focused on changing my outfits and was pleasantly surprised to find myself in my roman Praetor attire before I put my hood down and a roman styled helmet appeared on my head

"That works" I said as we raced through Rome

'Where do you want to be dropped off? There seems to be several groups of people all around the city of Athens, and I am assuming you are wanting to join in on the fighting correct?' Nebula said and I nodded

"Correct, drop me off wherever they need reinforcements the most" I said and Nebula nodded before he suddenly stopped several yards behind a group of Greek soldiers that I didn't recognize

I jumped off and Nebula vanished before I drew my gladius and rushed to join the soldiers that seemed to be trying to retreat.

"We have to retreat! The guardian was taken out and captured!" a greek said and I ran up to them

"What happened?" I said in a tone of voice that ordered immediate cooperation

The greeks turned and saw the roman styled armor and nodded.
