Champion of the primordials

Chapter 6

Hey guys I'm back with another chapter, I hope you are enjoying the story! Feel free to review

Percy POV

Let's head home everyone." I said as Annabeth, Grover, and Tyler all gathered around me as I shadow travelled us to camp. "That was a very interesting quest." Tyler said as we nodded in agreement as the conch horn sounded twice, signaling lunch "Let's head to lunch everyone, I'm starving." Grover said as we walked towards the dining pavilion.

Once we got there, everyone looked at us in shock as Chiron smiled at us "I take it the quest went well?" he said as we nodded "Percy, yours and Tyler's things have been moved to the Poseidon cabin. I let the Demeter cabin do it since I was worried the Hermes cabin might steal your things." he said as we thanked him and parted ways.

"Percy, after lunch could you and Tyler head to the amphitheater so you can brief the cabin leaders on your quest?" Chiron said as we nodded and walked to the Poseidon table.

As we past people, I kept hearing them mutter "Heard he defeating Ares in one on one combat." or "Can you believe he already defeated the Furies, Minotaur, Medusa, and the Chimera all in one quest?" over and over again as we sat down "Looks like Grover is spilling our details for us." Tyler said as he pointed a fork at Grover as I looked over and saw him babbling away about the quest. "Looks like we won't need to speak, Grover's already doing it for us." I said chuckling as we continued eating dinner, just enjoying the peace and quiet that I haven't had for nearly two to three weeks "What do you think Hades meant when he said there was a gift back home for us?" Tyler said curious while I shrugged my shoulders.

"Knowing Hades, his gift could be one of the most worst monsters from Tartarus. I don't know." I said looking back down at my plate till I froze as a slow smile crept onto my face "What's up Percy? Why are you smiling?" he said as I looked at him "I think I know what gift Hades sent us." I said as he gestured me to continue "Hades took our mom from us because he thought you stole his Helm of Darkness, but now that he has it back..." I trailed off, hoping he'll realize what the gift could possible be as his eyes widened. "Do you think he actually did it?" He said while I shook my head "Only one way to find out." I said as I stood up with him in tow as I headed over to Chiron and Dionysus "Oh look Peter Johnson and Terry Johnson, how lovely to see you here." Dionysus said "Hello Mr.D, Chiron do we have permission to leave camp for a while?" I said as he looked up from his book.

"Why would you want to leave camp, you must be tired from your quest." He said as we shook our heads "We are tired but we want to head to our apartment real quick to see something." I said as he nodded "Alright but be back in about twenty minutes for the debriefing on your quest." he said as we nodded quickly as I put my hand on Tyler's shoulder as we shadow travelled into his apartment "Where do you think she'll be at?" I said looking around "She'll be in my room, no doubt waiting for me to return home from school." he said as he walked down the hallway with me behind him as he opened his door to his room and there sat our mom, on his bed smiling at us.

"Mom!" Me and Tyler said in sync as we crushed her in a hug as she hugged back just as tightly as I felt tears forming in my eyes 'Just like old times' I thought as she pulled away "I'm so proud of you both, sit down and explain to me everything that happened." she said as we explained to her our time at camp, (minus the fights with the Ares cabins) the quest, (Minus me and Tyler jumping off the Saint Louis Arch and not going into details about my fight with Ares) once we finished she looked at us suspiciously. "You two aren't telling me something. I want the full truth you two." She said crossing her arms as we sighed and explained to her my fights with the Ares cabin and me and Tyler jumping off the Saint Louis Arch plus all the details of my fight with Ares.

Once we finished I don't think I've ever seen my mom so pale before but then she suddenly grabbed both of our ears and twisted them making us yelp in pain, begging her to release us. I know, I know, you're probably thinking that I'm acting like a little kid but moms are evil when they want to be. "I don't know if I want to punish you or hug you." She said looking down at us "How about the latter? It seems better than the first one." Tyler suggested as she nodded and pulled us back into a hug.
