"Are you sure?"
Lee nodded. "Positive."
I groaned. Why does this sorta stuff always happen to us?
And why does it always happen when Percy is out of it?
"That explains a lot really. Why he can't really control water that well. Eh, anyone else know anything?" Zoë questioned.
"Not really. He does have power over the earth. Not very good at controlling it but..." Bianca shrugged. "That's still a power he could have."
I sighed. Chaos?
Yeah Luke?
What are the possibilities that another primordial has a kid?
Hm...Not likely. I mean Percy only survived because Poseidon. I don't really know though.
You're the creator of the universe and you don't know?!
Hey, I don't expect you to know everything.
I'm not the creator of the universe!
He sighed. I'm heading over.
"Welp. Chaos is gonna be here. Apparently he-"
"Why do you want to know if another primordial could have a kid?"
Speak of the devil.
Or in this case, speak of the ancient primordial deity who created the universe and he will appear.
"I don't think Dakota is a son of Poseidon."
"Why?" Chaos raised an eyebrow. "He does have the Earthshaker abilities. And minor...oh."
"Yeah. Don't you think the son of the sea god would have more water based abilities than earth based?"
"Well, Hephaestus is a god of fire. But how many of his children are fire wielders?" Chaos fluffed his wings slightly.
"It's still really weird..." Zoë sighed. "I mean even Theseus had some water powers didn't he? This just seems really fishy."
"Really Zoë? A pun? Who are you, Percy?"
"Chaos, you said your kids die before they're born because of your powers right?" Lee questioned.
He nodded.
"What are we talking about?"
Wait...
"How'd you turn back?" Chaos glared at her.
She turned slightly so she was facing us a bit more. "No idea. But I'm not complaining. So again, what are we talking about?"
Everyone else looked at each other, mouthing 'You tell her'.
And man am I glad she can't see us right now.
Chaos walked over and wrapped a wing around her.
"Well, I figured out a way to restore your eyesight. So I was telling them about it...while you were supposed to be resting."
Chaos then glared at me. Oh come on! What did I do!?
"You were supposed to watch her."
"Stop reading my mind Chaos!"
"Nope."
"Quiet! What were you guys talking about?"
"Well... we're not quite sure Dakota is actually a son of Poseidon."
"Makes sense."
I'm pretty sure we all stared at her.
Um... I think she's taking this a lot better than we all expected.
Not like Lee's jaw just dropped or anything like that.
"How are you this calm?"
"Blackjack said that Dakota couldn't understand them. When does that make me think he's actually my...third brother?"
"Percy. The only issue with that logic is the fact that you believe that you are capable of thought."
"Wow. Thanks Castor."
"Just calling it like I see it."
"Oh. And before I forget. I revealed my identity. And I'm still alive."
"Totally thought you were dead Luke. But do you think it would be safe for me?"
"You'll be fine Ethan."
"Hey Chaos-"
"Not yet. Let's focus on this. And before I forget." He placed a hand over Percy's eyes. "Just relax."
"This literally is just you holding a hand over a blind girls eyes. This is pretty much as relaxed as I'm gonna ever be."
And then she mumbled something under her breath.
"Percy! Don't say that."
"It's true." She sighed.
Chaos grimaced, his hand glowing.
"There." He moved his hand.
Percy blinked, eyes focusing on us. "That's better."
"Yes. Yes it is. Noe how are we going to see if he really is a child of Poseidon?"
Before anyone answered that, I grabbed Percy's arm and pulled her down the hallway and into my room, before closing the door.
"What the Hades did you just say?!"
She flinched and looked away from me.
I sighed. "Listen, I'm just worried. We both know that Chaos doesn't act like that unless it's something. So please tell me."
Percy still didn't respond.
I stepped closer to her, placing a hand on the side of her face.
"Look at me." I said softly, turning her to face me.
Her sea green eyes had tears in them...and then her black eyes did as she shifted.
"What is it? What did you say Percy?"
"I said...I said that I'd be a lot more relaxed if I knew I was going to die."
I stared at her for a second, processing what she just said.
And then I pulled her into a kiss.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and I could feel the wind her wings were kicking up.
"I love you...so please don't think like that."
"Okay..." She refused to meet my eyes.
Welp. I see only one option here.
Yep.
I'm gonna...
I picked her up and slung her over my shoulder.
"Luke?! What the Hades?! Let me down!"
I smirked. "Nope." I opened the door and carried her back out to the common room.
"Dad!" She whined. "Tell him to put me down!"
"No. Frankly, this is probably payback for the whole bikini thing. Anyway how would that even work?"
"Yeah. It's not like we can just ask him if he's really Poseidon's kid."
Percy's wings fluttered.
"Well... actually...I think I might know a way..."
Welp. I am lazy.
It's official.
And how many authors notes do I start with welp?
Anyway...
I was at a baby shower...
And instead of doing anything productive I did...
This (by this I mean what's at the top. I did some on my palm too...I was really bored and no signal...)
