How to embarrass a God

(smallch)

Since when did I become used to killing people? Maybe it is because she was actually a monster or maybe because it was kill or be killed... the fact is... I did not really care...

"Tom... what the fuck man?"

"Language Percy! As you can see Aunty Em is actually Medusa... aren't you happy? We can send the head to her mother, or maybe we can sacrifice it to her directly... What do you suggest Annie?" I ask with a smile

"So that's why you told us offhandedly to go ahead without you earlier... You already knew she was Medusa... And you dealt with her" Annabeth muttered loud enough for everyone to listen...

"Well, I had a suspicion... especially with the hissing sounds I heard when you got near her... she hated Athena so much that she rejected any kind of help I could give... I always wondered why would Athe- oh... eheheh" I started chuckling stupidly

"You find Medusa's head that funny Tom?" asks Grover still a bit out of it, probably realizing that the statue was actually uncle Ferdinand in the flesh... or stone... doesn't matter.

"Hear me out'' I tell the group with fain excitement

"What if... Athena cursed Medusa, not because she was desecrating her sanctuary... but because she was jealous Poseidon was more interested in her priestess than herself... What if Athena... had a crush on Poseidon?" I say giggling like a son of Aphrodite

The others were looking at me with wide eyes... Annabeth spoke first

"No way... No way in Hades Athena likes someone like Poseidon"

Percy offended cuts in "And what is so wrong about liking Poseidon?"

Grover wisely decided to stay out of it. After sending Medusas head to Athena we continued our journey while those two were still arguing about it, faintly you could hear seaweed brains and wise girls being thrown around every once in a while.

Before continuing I secretly offered some of the remaining food in the dining area of the shop to Artemis, Hestia, and Poseidon

Meanwhile in the throne room

"Well if it was so you could have just told me," said Poseidon managing a smirk at Athena

Athena still kind of shocked about what she heard managed to retort "You wish Poseidon... You are way too stupid for me"

Poseidon frowned and was ready to retort before Hestia interjected "Brother you will continue this outside the throne room if you want, not here."

"Sorry sister..." just said Poseidon before shutting up, if he learned something in his immortal life is to never make an enemy out of Hestia... if you still wish to live that is...

Aphrodite however was looking excited at the interaction alternating her gaze from Poseidon to Athena, before moving her eyes towards boy cause of it all... "I absolutely need to meet him" She has always had lots of lovers but this mortal? She wanted him like she never wanted another mortal.

"They are not going to like it..." said Grover to me after a while

"They will think we are impertinent" probably speaking about Medusas head

"I do not care... we are impertinent after all... and look... I know that Zeus is probably scared about having Poseidon's demigods around... If she finds her gift to her liking maybe she will not vote for him to die... I have grown fond of my Kelphead... if I can protect him I will" I said with finality to Grover

"However do not misunderstand me... I will not babysit him, I will be there to hopefully avoid the worst... but not the bad... the bad he will have to cope with it himself, he is a son of Poseidon for Zeus's sake, he will be fine". I say while smiling at Percy still bickering with Annabeth

On Olympus Athena and Poseidon found themselves respecting the boy for different reasons, Poseidon is happy his son has a good friend beside him. While Athena is surprised that the boy seems to know the gods so well... He can reach the wildest conclusions with ease, he knows how gods and people think, and has the determination to act upon the knowledge... Is this really a mortal? Suspicion running through her head like a tsunami (hehe)...

The quest was proceeding fine, we brought back the poodle to its owner and received the ransom money to continue our travels... We were now headed to St.Louis Gateway Arch... where the next big fight would ensue.

Percy told us about how Hades (chronos) lresented himself in his dreams while annabeth spole of ber dreams in becoming an architect... And she will.. Someday, become the architect of Olympus... I cannot wait to see her growth
