Percy's PoV

W.I.C.K.E.D.
The creators.
Tartarus.
What link do they all have in common ?

"Hey, Percy, you listen to us ?" Ask Newt.

"Oh, yeah, sorry. You said ?"

Thomas and I are in the center of a room with the heads of each profession who will thus decide our fate. After saving Alby and Minho, we were going to be punished.
Alby being always unconscious, it is Newt who takes care of directing this decision.

"We were wondering what punishment was going to be pronounced for you and thomas. " He answer.
"You still broke the most important rule."

"Newt, these two punk saved my life, and also saved alby when I had abandoned him." Said Minho,emerging from his silence

"I agree, but that doesn't stop them from breaking the rules, we are going to vote now."

"Who is for the banishment ?" Ask Newt

No movement.

"At least we all agree on this point. So let's move on to the suggestions. Kilianos, you can start."

He who spoke is rather short, black hair, and eyes bright with a malicious brilliance. This type of guy who pranks whenever the opportunity presents itself.

"Uh, I don't think anyone here has ever done what they did. We need them. I propose to drop this stupid case in my opinion."

This proposal gave rise to many nods.

"Thank you. Now we listen to you Stanislas." Say newt taking notes on a piece of paper.

Stanislas is a rather tall and thin boy, with a benevolent gleam in his eyes.

"I agree with kilianos." He answer.

Another movement of acquiescence.

"Very good. To go faster, let's ask who is not of this
opinion ?" Ask Newt.

Two hands went up. And one of them belongs to Minho.

"Yes, Gally ?"

The so-called Gally, unlike the others, inspires neither sympathy or confidence.

"I think the punishment should be applied. They did not respect the rules, we must act. We've always worked like that and I don't see why we should change ! So I think we shou-"

WELATCHAAA !

Everyone turned to the source of the noise.
Kilianos takes a look at the faces turned to him.

"Sorry." he apologized without appearing sorry
"I think I sneezed because of an allergy to punk like Gally."

And he winked at me.

Gally turn red and about to answer but Newt stop him.

"Okay, finish your suggestion, Gally." Asks Newt, refraining from laughing.

After a last look loaded with threats to Kilianos, Gally resumed.

"So I was saying that I think one week to the gnouf should take place." He says.

"It's noted. Now Minho, do you have something to say ?"

Minho spoke for the second time.

"As I said earlier, they saved my life. They did something that no one else did before them. I am sure they can be useful. I want them as runners." he said with amazing seriousness.

"And about the punishment ?"

"If they had followed the rules, Alby and I would have died by now. For me this question has no place to be. They should not be punished but rewarded."

"Rewarded, and then what else ? I think the gno-" begins to speak Gally.

WELATCHAAAAAAA

"Sorry, but apparently my allergy has still not passed." Apologizes Kilianos.

"Well. Now that everyone has spoken, we will proceed to the vote." say newt with a little laugh.
"Who is fot the gnouf ?"

Only Gally raised her hand.

"Who is for the abandonment of this case ?"

Everyone except Gally raised their hands.

"Who is it that they become runners ?"

Again, everyone except Gally raised their hands.

"It's not over, we're not going to stay there, newbies !"
Mad with rage, Gally left the room, slamming the door furiously.

Newt turned to Thomas and me.

"Well done guys, you are now runners ! Now let's go eat !"

I sit alone at a table to eat in order to think, but Thomas, Kilianos and Stanislas join me.

I look at Kilianos and Stanislas.

"Thank you for later. You have certainly avoided us the gnouf." I tell them.

"Yeah, thanks, but try to have a more convincing sneeze next time" add Thomas.

We laugh when we think about sneezing less than credible kilianos.
The more we talk, the more I appreciate them.

After the meal, I decide to go for a walk, to be able to reflect.

On the way to return to the block, I told everything to Minho and Thomas, and just like me, they are in total misunderstanding.

The terms half-blood and this Tartarus have no meaning for us. And the fact that I have already been able to cross the road of the arai has even less.

By mutual agreement, we decided to keep all this for us the time to clear things up.

According to Stanislas, it is possible that the scratch of a griever can make us remember. According to him, it is also very painful.

I sit at the edge of a lake to reflect when I feel something in my pocket.

I take out my sword-pen, and without knowing if it is a good idea, I throw it as far as possible into the lake.

A few moments later, I feel something in my pocket and I take the pen out. I turn it into a sword to learn more .

The blade appears to be made of bronze-like material, and obviously this sword is very special. Not just because it turns into a pen. But also because I can't lose it. It always comes back in my pocket.

Something is written in a language that seems to be Greek, and I can read it easily.

Anaklusmos

"Marine turbulence." I traduce.

I try a few movements with it, but the wound on my arm opens again and the pain makes me drop the sword in the water.
Without thinking that it reappeared in my pocket, I dive into the water to go and recover it.

As soon as I come into contact with the water, my wound no longer hurts and I feel an incredible power in me.
I look at my arm. No more injury.

How is it possible ?

Having the crazy feeling of being able to control the water, I order the water to carry me to the surface, and to my surprise, the water began to swirl around me propelling it at a dizzying speed on the surface.

Once on solid ground, I slowly raise my arms, and the water rises in whirlpools as if it were my gesture.
I close my fists and the water forms two twenty giants, as if obeying my every wish.
Excited, I drop my arms and the water falls noisily into the lake.

"How did you do that ?! " a voice asks me
