I look at the window appeared in front of me. So quest can be like this too. I can choose to complete one of the options or both. But if I fail to complete both I will receive a penalty.
After getting some important stuff, I put them on inventory. Of course from important stuff I mean something very Greek for future plans. After half hour I was in front of the Smithsonian museum. These Hellhounds are one of the best ways of transportation. They can shadow travel all across the country. It was like riding a high-speed roller coaster but I didn't feel like vomiting. I guess children of Hermes adapt to fast Travel.
A man wearing a military outfit came and said."Follow me, Mr.Luke, General is waiting."
I follow him through the museum and entered one of the rooms guarded by a few guards.
Inside the room, there were a few monsters and humans well as the titan Atlas.
"You came at the right time. I just got a call from Thorn that those campers arrived here." Atlas said.
"Meanwhile we will prepare a gift for them."
"A gift?" I asked.
"Release the little cat." Atlas said to one of the serpent women. He was talking about the Nemean lion. I was tempted to hunt it. After all indestructible armor is very attractive. But I can't mess up the quest.
Few moments later Thorn aka manticore entered the room. I activated observe and looked behind him. A blue text hovered in blank space behind Thorn.
[Percy Jackson]-lvl 35
"They are here General." Thorn said. While Thorn and Atlas talking I understood Thorn is a huge bootlicker. I didn't join their conversation since Thorn had some kind of rivalry with Luke. Atlas commanded guards to plant the teeth of a prehistoric creature.
"Behold, My ultimate killing machines."
The soil erupted and few little Creatures crawled out of it.
"Mew"
Just like in the book Guards brought the wrong teeth and now dozen of little kittens playing on the ground.
After Atlas yelled at the guards they brought the right teeth. He planted them in dirt and watered them with a red liquid.
A skeleton hand shot out of the ground like in a horror movie. Soon twelve skeletons came out.
"Do you have a scent?" Atlas asked.
"Yesss, lord" one of the serpent women said and took out a piece of silver fabric. It floated towards the Atlas's hand. The text with Percy's name went towards the silver scarf. I ran into him pushing invisible Percy away.
"An intruder" I shouted.
"Seal the doors." Atlas said as I heard footsteps of Percy running away while Atlas's undeads chased him.
"Let's chase him." Thorn said.
"NO need. He can't escape from my undead warriors." Atlas said.
"Let those mortals chase them. Those demigods and my traitorous daughter will eventually come into my grasp but let's make it a little harder."
"I will return to Mt. Tamalpais" I said and left the room. As I walked far away from the room and guards I started to run toward the Air and Space museum.
When I entered the museum they were already fighting with the Nemean lion. I activated mist control and make myself invisible. Demigods will probably see through my illusion but they have a bigger problem to pay attention. I waited in a corner and eat the cyclops eye. It has a disgusting taste but soon as slimy stuff passed through my throat my vision increased drastically.
"Rooooar" Nemean lion unleashed an ear-shattering roar. I took out a jar of greek fire and throw it directly into the lion's mouth. Without waiting for results I activated Hyperactive and escaped from there.
As I came out of the museum few notifications appeared.

option 1: completed
option 2: completed
Reward granted
Suddenly Percy and the group came out and left in a van hurriedly. If I remembered correctly daughter of Hades will die soon. Well, that's none of my concern. I looked at the new skill I got as the reward.
Allow user to summons an undead familiar and commands it. Can unsummoned as user's liking.
I activated the skill. The ground erupted and a familiar kitten came out. Isn't this one of Atlas's cats?
[Name your familiar for crate a contract]
"Well, I named you Saber. A fitting name for a little Saber-toothed tiger." I said petting its head.
[Saber]lvl 1
A female Saber-toothed tiger that was raised from death.
Saber started to purr while enjoying my caress. She looked cute. But my enemies will not die from the cuteness. So she will grow into a furious tiger, right?
