Chapter 461:

Percy sighed as he stood on the bridge of the boat. He sipped from his

mug of hot cocoa looking out at landscape before him. The damage he

caused during his battle with Alcyoneus was immense. The mountain

to the left was broken in half with the broken piece floating in the

bottom of the ocean. The Hubbard Glacier was broken down at the

side, luckily nothing was broken on the top, else Percy would have had

to dive into the water to retrieve all that imperial gold weapons.

Thalia walked up to him wrapped up in a blanket sipping from her own

cup of coco, "you feeling better?"

Percy nodded, "much," he coughed out. His voice had finally cracked, it

was becoming deeper and deeper day by day. So a dip into the ice

cold waters of Alaska seemed to have finally pushed it over the edge.

Percy honestly couldn't tell the difference, but Thalia kept telling him his

voice sounded deeper.

Percy had healed completely when inside the water. After healing,

Thalia took him back to the boat to rest. He fell unconscious the

moment his head hit the pillow. But now he was up and about.

The only sign that he even was in a battle was the large scar that now

rested on his chest. Apparently attacks done by haki coated weapons

caused lasting damage that Gamer's body couldn't heal from.

Percy looked at his watch, it was 9 in the morning, they had been here

for more than half a day. Percy turned to Thalia, "did you get enough

sleep last night?"

"I got enough," Thalia said rubbing her eyes. Percy saw the bags under

her eyes, 'she must have stayed up to make sure nothing happened to

me.'

Percy wrapped his free arm around her kissing her. She tasted like

chocolate and pine, "you're such a bad liar."

Thalia smiled, "so are you." They stayed silent for a while. Now that

Alcyoneus was no longer a problem this place was pleasant, romantic

even.

"Hell of a first date huh?" Percy said smiling.

"Really? You consider this our first date?"

Percy nodded, "yeah, why? What do you call your first date?"

"Well there was a concert, if you remember."

"Yeah, but we weren't actually dating back then."

Thalia nodded, "yeah, I suppose. Well I can't really complain," Thalia

said sipping her drink, "I mean this is probably what a demigod couple

can consider the perfect first date. We got to travel, fight a monster,

destroy the landscape, cook dinner. You know, the normal things that

couples do."

Percy chuckled, "Thalia, you know that we are weird, even for a

demigod couple."

Thalia nodded, "that is very true."

Percy sipped his drink, "how long do you think the mortals will take

before they find out what happened here?"

Thalia shrugged, "this is a very secluded area. It may take them a

week, or maybe even only a few days. After all you did destroy the top

of a mountain."

Percy nodded, "yeah. I guess that was a little bite to loud."

Thalia chuckled and nodded her head, "yeah, a little."

Percy smiled kissing his girlfriend again. They sat down on the sun

beds and just cuddled up close enjoying the view of the calm water.

Percy honestly loved this place, he wanted to come again, if Thalia

wanted to that is.

"How are you not freezing?" Thalia asked.

Percy shrugged, looking at himself. He had throw away the jacket, it

was useless now. It had been ripped into pieces, luckily the pin of

protection he had was still usefull, maybe he could use it on something

else. All he wore now was an orange camp Half-Blood t-shirt and a pair

of jeans, "I don't feel it. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I

can control ice."

Thalia nodded, "right."

They spent an hour just staying together before Percy spoke up, "why

don't you go inside and get some sleep. It will do you some good."

"You sure?" Thalia asked.

Percy nodded, "yeah. I'm back to 100%. Plus if I need to I can always

call my buddies for assistance."

Thalia nodded, "right. Oh and Percy I have been meaning to ask you

something."

Percy hummed, "shoot."

"Marcia," Thalia began causing Percy to immediately become nervous,

"you said she was trying to seduce you."

Percy nodded, "yeah. Remember that demon I told about in Boston?"

"That was Marcia?"

Percy nodded, "yeah. Her real name is Marchasias. I just call her

Maricia. She can transform between a woman and a wolf. When I

fought her she tried to seduce me and take over my body, luckily I

managed to break free."

Thalia nodded, "I see..."

Percy could hear the worry in her voice, "relax Thalia," he kissed her

forehead, "you have nothing to worry about. I'm don't have any

intentions to screw a demon. You don't' stick your dick in crazy,

everyone knows that. Well, everyone except Edward, but that's not

important."

Thalia chuckled, "I not worried about you cheating on me Percy. I'm

worried about what would happen is she succeeded in taking over your

body. Do you think you can fight her off again?"

Percy smiled, "Thalia, look at my forehead," Thalia did so and suddenly

she saw a diamond shaped blue gem appear on Percy's forehead,

"this thing is the reason I can control them. It basically is like a net that

captures the souls of those I have defeated and binds them to me. As

long as they are bound to me they will listen to what I have to say."

Thalia touched the stone, "how did it suddenly appear?"

"It's because I willed it to," Percy explained, "it's magically bound to

me, I can hide it if I want to, and I generally do. Don't want people to

keep asking my why I have a gem stuck into my forehead."

Thalia nodded as she felt the edges of the stone, "it feels like it's

perfectly cut."

Percy nodded, "yeah, I know. Now," he broke their cuddle, "go to bed.

You need the rest."

"Fine," Thalia grumbled as she got up, "what are you going to do?"

Chapter 462

Percy turned to the glacier, "the Eagle and a lot of imperial gold is still

up there on top of the Glacier. I intend to collect it all. I'll give the Legion

some and sell the rest. Maybe I can even find that diamond sword

Alcyoneus used to cut me with if I try hard enough."

Thalia raised an eyebrow, "what's with your obsession over money

recently? You practically drooled when Alecto mentioned Alcyoneus

was made out of gold."

Percy smiled, "it's a secret sparky."

Thalia grumbled, "your luck I'm sleepy, or else I would have blasted

you for calling me that."

Percy smiled cheekily as Thalia took his empty mug and walked back

into the boat. Percy walked up to the front of the ship and activated his

speed perk.

Percy zoomed towards the Hubbard Glacier and climbed along the

side. He pulled himself to the top of the glacier and saw the Eagle

standing tall and proud, right where Thalia left it. Percy took the Eagle

and put it inside his inventory before he zoomed towards the camp.

Percy looked around as he started to systematically search and

plunder all the imperial gold he could find. This was honestly the best

part of the job, the free stuff. Well not free, but definitely not owned by

someone living at the moment, so what the hell right?

Percy first visited the barracks and saw lines of weapon racks each

half filled or full filled. Percy didn't even bother to look as he just threw

everything he could find into his inventory. He put in shields, swords,

pilas, even a bloody boomerang.

Percy searched every knock and conner of the barracks. He found

mostly clothes, some personal effects of the roman soldiers who died

here and a few drachma stored around. Percy also found what looked

like a solid gold tiara studded with a single sapphire, guess he knew

what to give Thalia as a souvenir.

Percy then went around camp, he found a solid gold chariot, the entire

thing was made out of imperial gold, Percy should probably return this

to the Romans, it was too big a thing to keep for himself.

Percy also found solid imperial gold suit of armour. He found around 20

suits or so, each were heavy as hell and looked ridiculous, after all who

wanted a fake set of abs imprinted on their chest piece?

Percy eventually walked into the Principia form before and now that he

wasn't in a hurry he took his time to look at the books and scroll rolled

on the floor.

Percy couldn't understand most of it, they were all in latin. But from the

look of things they were all just reports from people in camp, nothing to

important. But a few Percy could understand thanks to them being in

english.

Based on the way that the books had been stored inside a glass case

told Percy they were important. They were bound in leather with golden

words written on top, 'The construction techniques of Romans.' 'Basic

Roman leading skills.' 'Construction of settlements and the like.' 'War

strategies and techniques.'

Percy picked the book on the construction techniques of Roman and

suddenly a box popped up;

You have obtained the book containing the skill : Construction

techniques: Roman

Would you like to learn?

YES/NO?

Percy smiled as he pressed yes. The book vanished into thin air as the

knowledge went directly into his head. He suddenly knew everything

about roman architecture, the way arches distributed weight. The way

the walls were to be stacked so that it would be time efficient and hard

to push down.

Ping!

You have obtained a new skill!

Architecture, Lv- 1 (0%)

The ability to build building and other man made structure meant

for housing.

All buildings you build have a 80% chance of falling over

All buildings you build have a 15% chance of looking good

30% of product wastage.

You know;

Roman construction- Lv MAX Can understand and skillfully create

roman buildings

Percy blinked as he started to process the information in his head. It

told him how to create buildings, Roman buildings. And not only that

but also how to destroy them. 'Damn, Jason wasn't kidding when he

said every roman camp could be broken down a rebuilt in a few days.

With this knowledge I could destroy every building here piece by piece.

It would be child's play.'

Percy then went to the second book of war strategies. This one ended

up the same as the first;

War strategies, Lv- 1 (0%)

The way you command your troops or team mates.

Effectiveness- (½ Int)%

Bonus - +(½ Wis)%

And when Percy read the book on basic Roman leadin skills he got a

sub skill for the same skill;

Different war strategies you know;

Roman, Lv- 1- 20% chance of properly executing a battle tactic.

And the last book was kind of an add on for the first skill he got;

Construction of settlements- Lv- MAX

Percy searched the room for more books but found nothing useful. Just

to be sure he checked the barracks again and came up empty. Percy

then went to the bath house, but sure enough there was nothing there.

As he was looting the place Percy realised just how many dead bodies

there were in this place. Some still had meat on their bones, the cold

must have kept it preserved. Percy honestly couldn't' stand the sight of

it, he didn't really have the stomach for corpses. After all every time he

killed something it just disappeared into golden dust, no blood no gore.

But he pushed through using Gamer's mind.

They deserved a properly funeral, even if they were Romans and

would probably hate the idea of a Greek performing their last rights. So

Percy swallowed his disgust and started to moves all the corps and

skeletons he found and gathered them all in the center of the Roman

camp.

Chapter 463

He broke off several pieces of wood from the camp's wooden walls and

built a small pyre. He didn't really know how the Romans treated their

dead, but he assumed they did the same thing the Greeks did and burn

them in a shroud.

Percy didn't have a shroud, so he simply took one of the hanging

banners and wrapped it around the crops. It was big enough for them

all, and somehow it seemed appropriate. Percy then used his water

powers and drew all the moisture from the banner and the wood

making it very dry.

The demigod snapped his fingers and summoned a fireball. He threw it

into the makeshift pyre and watched the flames slowly rise up burning

the corpse. Percy knew it didn't really make sense, but he still felt they

the Roman who died here would finally find peace because of his

actions. And who knows maybe this might get him some good karma

points when it came to dealing with Camp Jupiter again.

Percy was just about to leave the cleared out camp when suddenly a

thought came to him. 'Where did Alcyoneus live?'

This place was freezing, and yes Alcyoneus was a giant, he might have

been immune. But that didn't meant he wanted to stay up here in the

cold. Hell, Percy was also immune but he would rather be inside the

boat snuggled up against Thalia in that warm bed of thiers.

Percy looked around for a secret passageway or something that would

lead to Alcyoneus's lair. Percy searched everywhere but couldn't find a

thing.

'Hmm, if Alcyoneus created a lair for himself then he must have used

his powers to do it. Maybe if I use my mana scene I can detect it.'

So Percy closed his eyes and did just that. He sent wave after wave of

his mana out and felt for Alcyoneus's presence. Suddenly he picked up

on a faint signal. It was somewhere below him, below all the ice and

the snow.

Percy walked to where the signal was the strongest and then used his

ice control to create a hole in the ground. Percy jumped into the hole, it

was seven feet deep, but he needed to go deeper.

Percy pushed the ice below him to the side as he lowered himself

deeper and deeper into the ground. He had perfect control over the ice

around him, he didn't fear it collapsing on him.

Soon the signal felt like it was right below his feet, Percy reached out

and felt around and discovered a huge cave like cavity inside the ice.

Percy pulled away the last layer of ice and dropped down. It was a 50

foot drop, but Percy managed to land on his feet. He crouched down

and looked around. It was pitch black in here. Percy clicked his fingers

and formed a fireball in his hands lighting up the room.

This place was more like Alcyoneus's man cave than his lair. There

was bear skins laid out in the corner to serve as a bed with a work

station on the side. Percy saw several weapons that Alcyoneus likely

created for himself.

There was a sword made out of iron, a spear made out of lead, which

was very heavy. Percy even found a small diamond dagger, probably

the giant's first attempt to create a weapon like this.

Percy took the dagger and turned to try and find more things to loot in

this room.

The walls of the room felt like they had been carved into. Percy could

see several words etched into the wall. 'Hades', 'Revenge', 'Hercules'

and 'Mother'. All the words were written in ancient greek, Percy figured

this was Alcyoneus's way of remembering who he was meant to be.

Percy eventually moved on and found a couple of gold and silver

ingots to loot off. After doing a final sweep of the cave Percy noticed

something, the mana he was sensing, it was still there, but not around

him, below him.

Ping!

A skill of yours has leveled up!

Scencesing mana, Lv- 2 (90%)

Allow you to sense mana around you giving you a brief

description of the type.

Range- 30 Feet

Percy looked down and found something buried deep within the ice.

Percy pulled the object out by using the ice surrounding it. The object

came up on a pedestal of ice, it was a ring, well it was meant to be

anyway. For Percy it looked more like a bracelet than anything else.

Percy focused on it;

Ring of Alcyoneus,

Allows the wearer to manipulate precious stones, metals and

minerals. Also can be used to detect said precious materials and

give the exact location to the user.

Special power: Once the wearer says the term, 'Mother I call to

you' the wearer will be able to directly talk of Gaea.

Percy was surprised to say the least. He honestly didn't know what to

think. Right now he was looking at a device that would allow him to talk

to a Primordial being. A PRIMORDIAL BEING!

That's like having a hot line to the Fates! And Gaea isn't just some

goddess, she's the fucking Earth itself!

For a moment Percy wanted to call her. He wanted to talk to the

Goddess, after all how many times do you get the chance to speak to

planet Earth itself? But Percy refrained himself, it wouldn't be right,

after all if there was one thing Percy could understand it was the bound

between a mother and a son.

Percy took the 'ring' and put it on his right hand. He wasn't going to use

it to call Gaea, but that didn't mean he wouldn't use it to search for

treasure! This thing basically a treasure detector!

Percy eventually spent the next hour or so looking around in the deep

depths of the cold ocean next to the glacier. He was searching for that

diamond sword that Alcyoneus used to cut him with. After searching

everywhere, the ring of Alcyoneus found it beneath the huge chunk of

mountain Percy threw into the sea.

Chapter 464

Percy then used his Body Form and also released his seals. Percy

grabbed the base of the rock and manipulated the water around it to

slowly help him lift it up. Percy managed to grabbed the sword using a

mixture of telekinesis and water control and soon found himself back

on the boat.

Percy sat down on the living room couch and took out a note and a

pen. He began to take an item entry of everything he grabbed;

300 Drachma (For myself)

41 Spears (Camp?)

32 Gladius (Camp?)

1 boomerang (Camp?)

48 shields (Camp?)

1 princess tiara (For Thalia)

1 golden chariot (For camp Jupiter)

24 suits of armour (Camp?)

1 diamond dagger (For myself)

4 gold ingots (For myself)

8 silver ingots (For myself)

1 diamond sword (For myself)

Percy looked over everything he got. He had taken a few items for

himself straight off the bat. Things like the sword or the ingots. But

things like the chariot Percy knew he had to give back to Camp Jupiter.

Percy was also debating with himself about what to do regarding the

armours he found and the weapons. Technically they belong with

Camp Jupiter, but they had lost it, they had no right to it. It technically

belonged to Thalia and Percy as a spoils of war.

Percy could use these items to create an imperial gold armoury for the

greeks, but at the same time if the Romans found out they were doing

that….well it obviously wouldn't end well.

"What are you doing?" Thalia asked as she came into the living room.

Her hair was all messed up due to bed head and she wore an over

large purple t-shirt that she bought in camp Jupiter with words 'My

daddy is a God, so he can kick your daddy's ass' written in bright gold.

"Had a good rest?" Percy asked as Thalia snuggled against him on the

couch. Percy put his arm around her as Thalia put her head on his

chest closing her eyes.

"Yeah," Thalia mumbled, "did you find anything else up there?"

Percy nodded, "yeah. Some imperial gold weapons, and even

Alcyoneus's man cave."

"I see," Thalia hummed, "so what are you stressing about now?"

Percy chuckled as he kissed her head, "what makes you think I'm

stressed?"

"Your heart is racing like crazy," Thalia replied back.

Percy lowered his voice to a whisper, "well that's because I currently

have the most beautiful girl in the world snuggled under my arm."

"Hm, 'the most beautiful girl in the world,' I like the sound of that,"

Thalia rubbed her head on Percy's chest, "god damn your voice is so

much deeper now, it's like it's made out of honey. And chocolate. Like a

mix of them both…..like…..hocolate."

Percy chuckled, "you know I really can't tell."

Thalia shrugged, "doesn't matter. But seriously, why so glum?"

Percy sighed, "it's just...I'm wondering what we should do with all the

imperial gold weapons."

"What do you mean? Just give it to the Romans, they need it."

"Yeah, but so do we," Percy said.

Thalia lifted her head off of Percy's chest and looked at him. Percy

looked at her, the way that shirt hanged off her body allowed Percy to

look under her shirt at her bra. Percy blushed and immediately looked

away as Thalia chuckled realizing what had happened.

"You do realise as my boyfriend it's basically your job to look at my

boobs right?" Thalia asked.

Percy coughed, "r-right. Anyway we were talking about weapons?"

Thalia chuckled, "right. Well yes, what you're saying is true. Compared

to the Romans the Greek camp has basically no proper armour. If we

use the weapons we got here it could mean the difference between life

and death for a lot of Greek demigods. But at the same time, it's not

the right thing to do."

Percy sighed, "yeah. I know… I just needed someone else to say it.

Guess sometimes my greed can take the best of me."

Thalia nodded, "well at least you're only greedy about certain things,"

she kissed him on the cheek and just then noticed the ring of

Alcyoneus on Percy's hand, "and apparently some of those things are

braclets."

Percy smiled, "it's actually supposed to be Alcyoneus's ring. But

considering his size it ended up being a bracelet."

"And you didn't get anything for me," Thalia huffed, "tisk tisk Mr, your

on the track to becoming the worst boyfriend ever."

Percy smiled, "well we can't have that." He opened his inventory and

pulled out the golden tiara and got on one knee.

"For you my lady," Percy said presenting the tiara to Thalia.

The demigoddess blinked, "P-Percy, that's a crown!"

Percy smiled as he stood up, "yup. And I think I know just the head it

belongs to," Percy pulled Thalia up as he carefully placed the crown on

top of Thalia's head.

The sapphire was a few shades darker than her eyes, but other than

that it suited Thalia. Simple, yet unique and beautiful.

Thalia turned to left where there was a small profile size mirror hanging

on the wall. She looked at crown on her head as she slowly started to

cry.

"Ah, Thalia are you okay? I didn't do anything stupid did I?" Percy

asked as he was nervous. He wanted to think that Thalia was crying

tears of joy, but he really didn't want to be that optimistic when it came

to his girlfriend.

"No," Thalia said as she smiled, "you didn't do anything wrong fish

head."

Percy smiled, 'great, tears of joy. I knew it all along.'

"Well I'm glad that you liked it," Percy said with a smile, "I figured the

jewel matched your eyes and-"

That was as far as Percy got as Thalia jumped on him, pushing him

back onto the couch and pressing her lips on top of his.

"Hmm," Percy hummed as he wrapped his arms around Thalia and her

massive shirt. Percy pulled her close, he felt her breasts pressed up

against his chest as Thalia wrapped her arms around Percy's head.

Ping!

Percy didn't even bother looking at the box, he already knew it was an

notification tell him his kissing skill had leveled up. Percy swiped the

box away as he slowly traced Thalia's back.

Chapter 465

Percy felt the perky molds of Thalia's ass just below his hand's reach.

Acting on instinct and desire, Percy grabbed an ass check in each

hand and pulled Thalia's body up deepening the kiss and getting a

good feel of her perky behind.

Ping!

Thalia's tongue licked Percy's lips for entrance and the demigod gladly

gave it. Percy felt Thalia's tongue in his mouth as it tried to dominate

his own, but Percy quickly managed to get the upper hand as he

squeezed Thalia's ass again surprising her long enough to send his

tongue into her mouth.

The two demigods started to feel hotter and hotter. They wanted each

other right now, Thalia's hands were under Percy's shirt as she traced

her fingers slowly upwards.

Percy let go of Thalia's ass as he slowly started to reach up the side of

Thalia's well toned body. Suddenly Thalia removed her hands and

broke the kiss. She got back up and straddling Percy's groin with her

perky ass .

"Not here," Thalia said in a husky tone as she got off of him and pulled

him up. Percy just walked dumbly as she lead him down to their room.

It seemed like those notifications alerts Percy had gotten before was in

fact for his kissing. The first was informed him about increasing a level

in said skill while the second one explained the invention of a new

move;

Kissing, Lv- 13 (50%)

It is what it is. The higher level you are the better kisser you are.

And remember practise makes perfect.

Your level is kissing leaved the person feeling happy for the 10

hours

10% chance of turning them on.

Techniques;

The double grabber- Grab the behind of your lover and pull them

upwards and closer deepening the kiss while spicing things up.

+5% Chance of turning on someone.

Percy honestly didn't like the name, it kind of made it out to be a

perverted move more than anything else, but beggars can't be

choosers.

Once inside Thalia closed the door and threw the tiara to the side.

"You're certainly eager," Percy whispered as he grabbed her hips

pulling her into another kiss.

Thalia kissed him deeply before pushing him back and onto the bed,

"what can I say, you have a way to turn a chick on."

Percy grinned as Thalia jumped on top of him straddling him with her

hips, grinding her pelvis on top of his dick.

Percy grabbed her hair and pulled her down kissing her deeply while

Thalia raked her fingers along his shirt. She then ran her fingers

through his hair as Percy's hands grabbed Thalia's behind squeezing

into her perky behind as her ass threatened to spill out of his arm.

"Damn Percy," Thalia said breaking their kiss, "squeeze them any

harder and you might make a permanent impression on them."

Percy grinned, "good," he spanked Thalia's ass with an audible smack.

Thalia shrieked in pleasure as she grinded her pelvis harder into Percy,

which in turn made the demigod as stiff as an iron rod.

"I can't wait anymore," Thalia said in a huff as she grabbed the helm of

Percy's shirt and threw it up. Percy took off the rest of his shirt while

Thalia started at his body, sinking her nails into his abs, "god damn

these are amazing."

Percy threw his shirt to the side of the room as he got up and kissed

Thalia, reaching around and grabbing her behind.

Thalia reached down and pulled her shirt over her head throwing it to

the side. Percy looked down and saw that Thalia wore a plain black bra

that hugged her chest tightly. It seems a size to small for her C-cup

size breasts, but Percy honestly didn't care.

"What do you think?" Thalia asked in worried tone.

Percy simply looked at her with his jaw open, "y-you're perfect."

Thalia blushed as she pushed Percy to the ground wrapping her arms

around his neck as Percy did the same. They kissed heatedly as Thalia

shoved her tongue into Percy's mouth battling with him for dominance.

Percy ran his hands along Thalia's body , feeling every single curve

and every inch of her skin. He could tell she was cold by the way she

tried to wrap herself around him, pulling as close as she could.

Percy used his telekinesis to lift the blanket and put it on top of them,

causing Thalia to sigh into his mouth at the feeling of the cover.

Percy's hands went down and squeezed Thalia's ass as she continued

to grind on him, by now his dick was big enough to not be ignored, and

Thalia was definitely aware of it.

Slowly Percy's hands went from her ass and rubbed along Thalia's

body. He reached her bra strap and waited for her to say or do

something in objection. Thalia instead moved one of her arms down as

she traced across Percy's abs going down to his belt.

Percy couldn't hold back anymore as the lust he felt was at a breaking

point. Thalia's hand was right above his erect dick and quite frankly

Percy was tired of holding back.

Percy's fingers worked the bra strap, and with a simple flick of his

fingers he had it off of her. Thalia removed the bra and threw it to the

side as Percy rolled them over, pinning Thalia down. He looked at her

chest, they were bigger than he thought, big enough to hold, like two

grapefruits.

Her nipples were smaller than Percy thought they would be as he bent

down and slowly blew on one, sending a shudder through Thalia's

body. Percy didn't know what he was doing, he was relying purely on

instinct, and sent a silent prayer to Aphrodite for guidance.

Percy kissed her neck and slowly started to move down, passed her

shoulder blades and finally her breasts.

He cupped them with both hands as he turned to the left one,

swallowing it's nipple whole as he began to suck on it.

"Percy," Thalia moaned as her hands pushed him deeper into her

chest. Percy ran his tongue over her nipple, every flick sent a shudder

through Thalia. Percy moved over to her other breast as Thalia

wrapped her legs around Percy's body holding him tightly.

Chapter 466

Percy could feel Thalia's hold on him, he knew what she wanted. He

started moving his body up and down as he rubbed her clit harder and

harder. Thalia moaned as Percy began circling her nipple while

grouping the other with his firm hands.

Thalia moaned, "enough Percy," Percy grabbed her nipple between his

teeth and pulled, letting it go with a slurp. Thalia moaned again, "it's my

turn."

Percy wondered what she meant when Thalia rolled them around

again, sitting on Percy's hip with the blanket over her shoulders. Percy

saw her breasts on full display and he breathed a sigh of wonder, of

belonging. There was literally nowhere else he would have rather be

than right here with her.

Thalia's hands traced Percy's body as they found themselves around

his belt as they quickly took it off, causing Percy's dick to finally poke

out the helm of his jeans.

Thalia traced her hand along his jeans as she pressed up against his

hard member. She bent down and kissed Percy as she whispered into

his ear, "it's harder than iron Percy," she then tightened her grip, "and

so fucking hot."

Percy couldn't do anything except breathe shallow breaths as

unbuttoned his jeans and slid her hand into his pants feeling his dick

covered by his boxers. Thalia unzipped his jeans and slowly slid them

down as she rubbed her hand up and down his length.

Percy's breath was paced as he grabbed Thalia's ass with both hands

trying his best not to immediately cum. Percy and Thalia kissed as he

shoved his tongue into her mouth and smacking her ass.

Thalia in return tightened her grip around his dick and slowly traced a

finger along the elastic of the boxers. She circled around the tip of his

dick as it twitched in her hand, begging to be set free. Thalia slid one

finger into the boxers feeling his skin prickle at her touch. She then

pulled it down in one swift motion freeing his dick the immediately

found itself in her open hand.

"You're bigger than I thought," Thalia said as she wrapped her fingers

around his member. She couldn't see it, but she could tell that it was at

least 6 inches and very very thick. Thaia could feel it's veins

underneath her soft palms as she moved her hand up and down

kissing Percy for all he was worth.

Percy however wasn't going to let Thalia do all the work as he pushed

her down, causing both of them to lie on their sides. Thalia still had one

hand around Percy's dick, while Percy had one hand pinned around

Thalia's hips pulling her closer.

Percy's free hand slowly went to Thalia's jeans as he unbottled it with a

simple motion before grabbing it by the helm and pulling it down over

her ass and juicy thighs.

One of his hands now laid on her bare panty clad ass while the other

rubbed her thighs. Thalia's hand were moving faster now as she put

the other one around Percy's neck pulling him closer. Thalia's tongue

danced in his mouth, wrapping around Percy's own.

Percy's hand slowly moved away from her thighs and towards her hot

center. Percy traced a finger along the helm of her pantiies, he coudlnt'

se them, but they felt brand new. He pressed his palm against her

stomach and slowly slid it down and into her panties feeling her

trimmed bush right underneath.

Percy didn't stop until his fingers graced over her moist lips sinking his

fingers deeper still until he could feel her entrance against his hand.

Thalia moaned into his mouth and Percy could feel her hand slow

down as her grip around his dick started to shake in excitement. Percy

could feel her quiver for him as he smacked her ass with the hand

around her hips while the other slowly inserted his middle finger into

her.

It felt like warm and wet. Percy didn't expect anything else as he slowly

drew back his finger before sliding it back in. He moved gently as

Thalia moaned again breaking their lip contact to mutter, "faster Percy."

Percy nodded as he pressed his thumb against her lips feeling around

for the clitoris. It was small, but Percy found it, and he then slowly

started to circle it as his finger continued to move in and out of her.

Thalia's hand around Percy's neck dung into his skin drawing blood as

she continued moving her hand up and down his dick doing her best to

make him cum.

The two slowly got into a rhythm as Percy started to increase his

speed. He wasn't going his fastest, but this was enough to cause

Thalia to pant hard.

Thalia also increased her hand motions as she moved her palms up

and down Percy's erect dick as a small amount of pre-cum rose to the

tip of his shaft.

Percy moaned at the pleasure, but he wasn't going to just stop. He

suddenly had a wild idea, but instead of fight it, he trusted his instincts.

Percy then slowly put the tiniest amounts of earthquake mana into his

finger sending a wave of vibrations through Thalia.

The demigoddess gasped as her eyes widened into the size of dinner

plates, "don't stop!" She begged him as she quickly wrapped both

hands around his dick, using his own pre-cum to lube him up

increasing the pace of her hand job.

Percy sent another wave of vibrations through his thumb right into

Thalia's clitorus causing her to tighthen her grip around his dick and

gasp in shock. Percy smiled as he continued to finger her while

sending wave after wave of vibrations through her body.

"Percy-I'm going to cum!" Thalia moaned into his ear as she felt his

dick twitch, "make me cum!"

Percy groaned as he used his hands around Thalia's ass to slap it hard

as he increased the pace of his finger sending Thalia into a look of

ecstasy as she crossed her eyes in pleasure.

Chapter 467

Percy grunted as he felt his own release coming, he couldn't hold it

back anymore. He grabbed Thalia's face with his free arm and kissed

her. The sudden action caused Thalia to lose control as her pussy

tightened around Percy's finger drenching his whole hand as she

orgasemed.

Percy grunted as he finally came covering Thalia's hands while

sending a spurt of cum into her stomach painting it white. Thalia

groaned as the hot liquid covered her abdomen, she released her grip

around Percy's dick letting it finally relax in it's release.

Percy took his hands out of Thalia's panties, which were drenched from

her organsim. The couple looked at each other as Percy kissed Thalia

holding her tightly as they both drifted off into a deep slumber. Their

bodies were relaxed from their organsims. Their worries and problems,

forgotten for the time being.

The Next Day;

Percy and Thalia had decided to spend one day in the frozen

wasteland cuddling up inside their boat. They didn't go any further, the

two of them agreed that 'that' would happen only when they both were

ready for it. In all honestly they only realised what they had done

afterwards. Maybe it was the heat of the moment, or maybe it was the

fact they almost died the other day, but whatever the reason, they

didn't regret doing it.

Percy had started the boat early in the morning, around 5. He placed

Waverider back on the tip of the ship and carefully guided it out of the

bay of the Hubbard Glacier. Once they were back out in open waters

Percy let the trident take over as he went inside.

The skill he gained during their…'private time' was something Percy

didn't really expect;

Foreplay, Lv- 2 (50%)

The actions you perform before sex.

20% skill bonus towards partner's orgasim.

Fingering, Lv- 2

The technique in which you use your fingers to make your lover

orgasim,

Chance of orgasim- (½ Vit%)

Special technique-

Vibrations!- +40% bonus towards chance of Orgasim!

It was around late evening time, the sun was slowly setting on the

horizon and Percy now sat on the sun beds reading a gossip

magazine. What? He was still a teenager, he liked gossip. Sue me.

"I honestly didn't think you to be the gossip type son."

"I got bored," Percy responded without missing a beat. He looked up

and sure enough there was Poseidon standing at the tip of the ship

next to Waverider.

"So this is your weapon," Poseidon said looking at it, "I see you got

your inspiration from my own trident."

"Well I am your son," Percy said as he threw the magazine to the side

and got up standing next to his dad, "what do you think of it?"

"Impressive," Poseidon traced a finger down Waverider, "What's it

made out off?"

Percy shrugged, "not sure. I'm assuming Celestial bronze."

"Didn't your Gaming powers tell you anything?" Poseidon asked

stepping away from it.

"Not anything too specific," Percy replied, "just gave a brief summary.

But is does have a lot of features to it, even I don't know all of it."

"I see," Poseidon mumbled as he turned to Percy raising an eyebrow,

"since when did you have tattoos?"

"What?" Percy asked surprised as he looked down at the strength

seals around his forearms, "oh these. No, they aren't tatoos, their

strength seals, helps me control and enhance my power."

Poseidon chuckled, "didn't know you had so much power to control."

Percy grinned, "you know that's not true. How else do you think I

managed to fight off a giant?"

Poseidon nodded, "yes you're right. Is that where you got that?" the

God pointed to Percy's new scar underneath his shirt. One of its edge

was around Percy's left shoulder and could be clearly seen near the

edge of his shirt collar.

Percy sighed, "it seemed Haki can negate Gamer's body and cause

actual harm to my body. It was….surprising to say the least."

Poseidon sighed, "how did you even survive?"

"Luck and skill," Percy told his dad, "that and my armoured jacket.

Though it kind of got shredded into a million pieces in the process of

saving my ass."

Poseidon nodded, "better it than you. If you want I can have some of

my forgers create some new armour for you."

"Really? You would do that?"

Poseidon chuckled, "of course, you are my favorite sun after all."

Percy hissed, "yeah, don't let Triton hear that."

Poseidon laughed out loud at that while Percy just smiled. Silence fell

between them as Percy spoke up again, "okay that's enough stalling.

Why are you here dad?"

"I was just making sure nothing happened to you and your...girlfriend."

Percy sighed, "dad are we going to have a problem here?"

Poseidon blinked, "problem? Why?"

"Because I'm secretly a Sith Lord, duh," Percy rolled his eyes at the

highly sarcasm laced comment, "obviously I mean because I'm dating

Thalia."

Poseidon sighed, "she was right. I am a bad liar. Look Percy it's not

because she's a daughter of Zeus but because right now she is the

chosen one of the prophecy. And I don't need to tell you what is meant

to happen to that chosen demigod."

Percy narrowed his eyes, "I'm not going to let that happen to her. Never

her."

The God of the Sea sighed, "sometimes Percy we don't have a

choice."

"There's always a choice dad, you just have to have the will and

courage to pick it."

The God chuckled, "you're only 13 and yet you speak like a God.

Sometimes Percy even I underestimate just how amazing you can be."

Percy nodded, "thanks dad."

Poseidon nodded, "and if you're determined about being with Thalia,

sign, like I know you are. Then good luck son, you will need it."

Percy laughed, "dad they way you say that is like your expecting her to

turn into a demon or something."

"Daughters of Zeus have been known to have...unique personalities,"

Poseidon smiled, "speaking off, where is Thalia?"

Percy pointed upwards and the sea God looked to the sky. There flying

high above the boat like a bird through the sky was Thalia. Ever since

she had dived after Percy and unlocked her powers over the wind,

Thalia had been using every chance she got to test out her new

abilities. She was still a little scared of falling, but for now her fear of

heights had been beaten.

Chapter 468

"Ah, so she finally accepts her domain over the sky," Poseidon said

with a smile, "that's good."

Percy raised an eyebrow, "you knew she couldn't use her wind powers

didn't you?"

Poseidon nodded, "yes. It was obvious to anyone who looked. Her

powers, though great, was still limited. Like a fire hydrant that had only

been half opened. Many of the Gods believe that this was because

Thalia rejected the powers to spite Zeus, thought no one is sure why."

Percy nodded, 'well maybe it has something to do with the fact that

she's afraid of heights. But now that she had finally gotten over that

fear, just by a narrow margin, she can access more of her powers.'

Thalia slowly came back down towards the boat and glided down. She

landed gracefully and smiled at Poseidon, "hello."

Poseidon smiled, "hello Thalia."

"So….ah, why are you here?" Thalia asked.

"Because he wanted to make sure we were still alive," Percy told her

as he kissed her on the cheek.

Thalia blushed, "Percy your dad-"

"-Oh it's alright," Poseidon waved her concern off, "I have seen and

done plenty worse. Just...be careful with your displays of affection. You

never know who is watching you."

Thalia and Percy nodded. Percy then began to speak, "so….did you

need anything else?"

Poseidon blinked, "oh, right. Well I'll ah, I'll just be on my way. Oh! And

before I forget, there is meeting on Olympus around 4. Come there

after you return to Eagle to the Romans and bring Alcyoneus, we need

him if we are going to convince Zeus."

Percy and Thalia nodded, "got it dad."

Poseidon nodded as he turned to Thalia, "niece."

Thalia bowed back. Percy suddenly remembered something, "oh dad

and before you go, remember that thing you said about forgoing me

some new armour?"

Poseidon nodded, "yes, what about it?"

"Wait one second," Percy opened his inventory and quickly looked

through it. "Here," Percy said as he reached in and pulled out one large

heavy looking black armoured chest piece that was dented in the

center in the form of a fist;

Galvron chest piece;

A piece of armour that is made out of Galvron and is considered

nearly indestructible.

+20% to MP

+10% to HP

+ 70% to elvish magic

Durability- 720/800

Poseidon's eyes widened, "P-Percy, is that….Galvron?"

Percy nodded, "yup, got it as a reward in one of my dungeons. But it's

obviously too big for me to use, not to mention that dent in the center. I

couldn't' really ask any of the Hephaestus kids to reforge it, they aren't

skilled enough. I was hoping you could try and see if your forgers

would be better suited to the task."

Poseidon nodded dumbly, "I'll certainly try. I must say, you never seize

to surprise me Percy. Did you make this dent?"

Percy nodded, "yeah, and let me tell you it was a pain in the ass to do

so."

Poseidon agreed blankly, "I would imagine so. This thing is just a few

levels down from celestial bronze, which is unbreakable, well by the

normal means anyway. Galvron is a very….mana sensitive metal,

unlike celestial bronze. We can create a wide variety of use for it. And

with this much, one can only imagine the variety of charms one can

weave into it."

Percy was surprised, "I didn't realise it was that amazing."

"Oh but it is," Poseidon grabbed the chest piece, "I'll personally make

sure you get the best piece of armour you can Percy, even if I have to

call in a favour from Hephaestus himself."

Percy smiled, "thanks dad. See you at Olympus I guess."

Poseidon nodded and waved his trident disappearing in a flash of light.

Percy groaned as he blinked away the temporary blindness, "I have got

to learn how to do that."

Thalia laughed as she kissed him on the check, "I think your over

powered as it is honey."

Percy smiled, "did you just call me honey?"

"Yes?"

Percy smiled, "I kind of like it….Sparky."

Thalia groaned as she turned around to walk back inside, "just get in

there cook me some dinner."

Percy smiled, "well then turn on the TV, let's see what Nigella's cooking

tonight," Percy smacked her ass, "honey." Thalia smiled and kissed

Percy as they walked back in.

The Next Day Early Morning;

The Trident Mobile arrived in the San Francisco bay at 6 in the

morning. The entire area was clear of all types marine traffic as Percy

easily found port 8 and docked the ship with ease. He retired the boat

to the dock and quickly the two demigods got out of the ship.

"I'm going to miss this boat," Thalia said with a sigh.

Percy smiled, "yeah, it was awesome. It sailed like a dream. I'm going

to miss the peace and quiet we got in there. Plus all the macking out."

Thalia giggled, "well that last thing we can do anywhere, but yeah, it

was a nice trip. We got three days to ourselves. Maybe we should do

this again sometime."

Percy smiled, "yeah. Maybe I'll buy my own boat and we can go on a

weekend cruise or something. Just the two of us. No demigod

problems, no threat of war or stupid prophecies hanging over our

heads."

Thalia smiled, "that would be nice. But...can you afford a thing like

this?"

Percy raised an eyebrow, "Thalia, I have a dagger made out of

diamonds in my inventory. My first gift to you as a boyfriend was a

fucking gold tiara. Alcyoneus was a pain in the ass to defeat, but at

least he gave us a pretty good reward for doing so."

Chapter 469

Thalia nodded, "yeah, but do you even have anyone who could cash in

all that? Last time I checked trying to sell a dagger made of solid

diamonds isn't really all that common. I mean it's not like you can just

go into a jeweler and and demand he buys it from you."

Percy nodded, "yeah, but I have a plan in mind for that, don't' worry.

Now, let's get you back into camp, I'm sure Jason has been waiting for

you day in and day out."

Thalia nodded as Percy picked her up and carefully slid her into his

inventory. Percy put on his goggles and took off into the city.

Percy passed the Oakland Bay bridge and entered Berkley in seconds.

As Percy was running he realised that he was feeling colder. Without

his jacket to protect him Percy's skin started to feel the wind hitting him.

It didn't hurt, but it was annoying.

Percy eventually reached the Caldecott Tunnel and sure enough two

roman guards were positioned outside the entrance.

Percy stopped in front of them startling but the guards. The lowered

their spear, "who are you?!"

Percy up his hands up, "I'm a friend."

One of the guards blinked, "Percy?"

Percy turned and smiled recognizing the gaurd, "hello Donny."

Donny looked at Percy once over, "you-you came back?!"

Percy smirked, "did you really think I wouldn't?"

Donny took off his helmet and looked at Percy, "did you even go to

Alaska? You were go for what? 3 days? And where's Thalia? And why

do you sound so different?!"

Percy smiled, "I did travel to Alaska, and yes, I did manage to finish the

quest. And I sound different because my voice finally cracked. Oh and

as for Thalia," Percy opened his inventory and took Thalia out.

Thalia looked around, "I'm still not used to that," she then noticed

Donny and waved at him, "oh hey Donny."

"Wait, if you both are back then...did you do it? Did you get the Eagle?"

Percy smirked as he reached into his inventory and pulled out the

golden Eagle on the 12th Legion. Donny and the other gaurd started at

the sight of the Eagle. It was magnificent in their eyes. The two

Romans bowed deeply at the sight of the Eagle.

Percy gave the Eagle to Thalia, "here you take it inside."

Thalia blinked, "why?"

"Because you're the daughter of Jupiter. It's your duty." Percy then

looked up at the Eagle, it was still covered with ice particles around it's

beak and wings. It was slowly melting now, thanks to the San

Francisco weather, but Percy didn't want to wait.

Using his ice powers Percy destroyed the ice on the Eagle making it

shine like a brightly in the morning rays of the sun. Percy smile and for

a second he swore the Eagle smiled back.

"I will lead you back inside," Donny told them as he opened the

entrance for them.

Thalia looked to Percy and the demigod nodded. Thalia walked first

followed by Percy and then Donny. They walked across the tunnel until

the valley came into view.

The sun had just risen over Camp Jupiter and the people inside the

camp were busy starting the day. Suddenly every roman in the camp

felt something inside them stear. Something powerful. They all turned

as one and looked to the entrance tunnel and sure enough they saw

something that most never expected to see ever again.

Slowly more and more people gathered at the the entrance to the

Roman Encampment as they saw the golden Eagle of the 12th Legion

approach them. Holding the Eagle high up was Thalia, her eyes were

focused and sharp like the Eagle. Behind her was Percy looking calm

and collected and behind him was Donny looking ahead in pure

disbelief.

As they approached the Little Timber Thalia stopped and Percy

stepped up. He froze the surface of the water and then used his water

powers to make the icy platform stay in the same position. Thali walked

on top of the ice without hesitation, she trusted in Percy's powers.

Donn looked less confident but didn't want to be left behind.

They entered the roman camp and slowly the gathered crowd split

down the middle giving way for them to enter the camp. Donny stayed

back as Thalia and Percy walked to the center of the camp. They

reached the crossroads in the middle of the Roman encampment and

stood there.

"Remember, just like we planned," Thalia whispered.

"Romans!" Percy shouted out, "we were given an impossible task by

the Senate. A task that was no doubt meant to lead us to our deaths! It

seems that the tendencies of Senate to kill the messengers of peace

hasn't changed since the time of Caesar, only now instead of daggers

they use impossible tasks!"

A wave of murmurs went through the crowd, Percy's deeper tone of

voice caused a lot of people to take him more seriously. So he

continued.

"But we have succeeded! Where you have failed we did not. And now,

we give this back to you, this Eagle was a symbol of your Legion's

power, you lost it only to be returned to you by two Greek demigods!

Think of this not as a gesture of to Elitist, but as a symbol of

brotherhood. We only ever wished for one thing, peace between our

camps!

"The Titans are coming and only united can we find victory," Percy said

in a low tone, everyone had to strain to hear, but that just made

everyone far more interested in what Percy was saying.

"Greek," a voice in the crowd said. Percy and Thalia turned to see the

one who had spoke was Jason.

Soon another person spoke, "Greek."

Slowly more carried the chant, "Greek. Greek! Greek! Greek! GREEK!

GREEK! GREEK!"

The entire legion started the chant, every cohort, every legion, every

Larus even the unicorns. That day the people of New Rome woke up to

the chant of 'Greek' coming from the roman Legion, and they knew

something big had just happened.

Chapter 470

Percy and Thalia smiled at the sound of the Romans chanting. Percy

walked up to her and held on to the Eagle, "follow my lead."

Thalia nodded. Percy then raised the Eagle high into the sky, "Twelfth

Legion Fulminata!"

Suddenly thunder roared out of the Eagle shooting upwards into the

sky.

Thalia and the others quickly chanted the same, "Twelfth Legion

Fulminata!"

That day was the day the roman camp realised that though the Greeks

were different, they were still some part of them to similar to deny.

Every Legionnaire there that witnessed the lighting called forth by the

Eagle knew that even though it was a Greek that did so, it was a Greek

worthy of their respect.

"Percy! Percy! PERCY!" One group of people chanted.

"Thalia! Thalia! THALIA!" Went another.

Soon the people all died down and Julia and Rob, both looking like

they had just managed to get their Praetor cloaks on time, walked up to

Percy and Thalia. The two Greek handed the Eagle to the Roman

Praetors to the cheer of the camp.

Jason ran up and hugged his sister muttering about how much he

missed her and how worried he. Hason then turned to Percy and

smiled, "thanks for keeping your promise."

Percy grinned, "anytime little bro."

Eventually the cheering all died down. The Praetors ordered everyone

back to work as the lead Percy and Thalia to their Principia. This one

reminded Percy very ,much of the one back in Alaska, except not that

dead. He looked around and sure enough, inside a cupboard were

similar books like the ones he found and absorbed back in the Hubbard

Glacier, guessed they were standard issue.

"How did you even find this?" Julia asked once they were alone in the

Principia. Rob stood next to his fellow Praetor as they both admired the

golden Eagle.

"A giant named Alcyoneus was guarding it," Thalia told them, "he killed

the Romans that went to the glacier. He also tried to kill us, but we got

to him first."

Julia nodded as she gave the Eagle to Rob. The son of Mars carefully

opened a display to the back wall and put the Eagle inside it closing it

shut.

Percy narrowed his eyes, "I don't' think it belongs in there."

Julia raised an eyebrow, "why do you think that?"

"Because of how I found it," Percy said, "I found it being held up by the

dead bodies of the roman soldiers. They were dead, but they used their

bodies to support the Eagle, holding it up despite all the years. I and

Thalia have made sure it never touched the ground to honour the

memory of those who gave their lives to protect it. And now, seeing it

locked away...it just doesn't seem right."

Rob chuckled, "you're talking more and more like a Roman Jackson.

We might make a capable warrior out of you yet."

Julia nodded, "yes. You are right. Maybe we can create a flag post or

some kind of memorial in the middle of the camp site with the Eagle

standing in the center. It's sight will inspire the soldiers and serves to

remind us of what was lost."

Rob smiled, "that's a great idea Julia!"

The big breasted girl nodded, "yes. It is. Rob is right Percy," she looked

at him, "you are thinking more and more like a Roman."

"How so?"

"That speech you gave, it was very….deceptive, to say the least. In just

a few words you managed to turn those who previously hated you into

allies and turn their eyes onto the senate who will no doubt try and

worm their way out of the spot light. I have it on good authority that the

Senate was planning on calling you and Thalia as thieves claiming that

you wished to steal the Eagle. They wanted the Eagle back, but didn't

want to ally themselves with you. They were willing to go against the

Gods in order to make sure that New Rome was not involved in the

war. But with your little speech….you basically put a wrench into their

plans."

"We know," Thalia said smirking, "that's why we planned that speech

out well in advance."

Rob looked surprised, "what?"

Percy smiled, "we had a lot of time kill on the way back. So we got to

talking, and then one question came up. 'Why would a Roman Senate

try allow two Greek demigods to try and obtain their greatest symbol'?

Things just didn't add up. So we put our heads together and we

realised what their game plan was."

"We didn't know the exact details about how they were going to stab us

in the back, we just knew they would," Thalia said, "so Percy came up

with the speech and the rest was history."

"I see," Julia said after taking a moment to process the information,

"you two would do well in politics."

"Not really," Percy said, "we both would rather fight them on the

battlefield than in a closed senate building."

"But that also doesn't mean we are stupid," Thalia said.

Julia nodded, "that's good. Well...I suppose it is time to go see the

senate. No doubt those old farts have already called a meeting to

discuss what has just happened."

Rob nodded, "one bad thing that I will admit about Roman, we take a

long as time to get things done. Oh and Percy, you ah, you sound kind

of….different. Your voice is like super deep."

Percy chuckled, "yeah, I know. My voice cracked."

Julia raised an eyebrow, "I must say this is…..different. Your voice has

gotten much deeper, thought not to the extent that you become

unrecognizable."
