For Us Demigods

Enjoy The Weirdness

Third Person's POV

"Percy!"

"Gods dam it Grover. This is the seventh demi-" Percy said and stopped in his tracks as he walked down the stairs.

"I'm sorry, I really am." Grover said as a bunch of kids crowded around his legs.

"Two, four, six-" Percy counted. "Eleven?!" He exclaimed. "You brought eleven demigods here?"

"I know, I'm sorry." Grover said. "I was in the area, they had a field trip to the park, and something, I can't even keep track, attacked."

Percy sighed as he watched the kids, two of them, his behind Grover's legs. They were tiny. Percy could see very, very clearly that they weren't 12 yet.

"Alright." Percy sighed in defeat. "I'll call Argus." He pulled out his phone.

"Thanks." Grover said, as he tried to keep the children in order.

Percy waited for the phone to be picked up and told Argus to bring the tank-bus and pick up Grover back at the house. Percy didn't know what Argus was saying, as the man barely said anything, and assumed it was a yes before hanging up the phone.

"He'll be here in two hours." Percy said. "Ish."

"Thanks." Grover said.

"Who're you?" A girl, with ginger pigtails asked up front.

Percy must look like a giant to her. She was tiny and he was over six feet. Percy knelt down so that he could be on her eye level and smiled.

"If only you'd know, kid." Percy mumbled. He glanced up at Grover. "Did you tell them? All the basics?"

"Yeah." Grover nodded. "They ate it up like jellybeans. Much easier to explain to them compared to a twelve year old."

"Well the isn't much life to be considered a lie when you're still young." Percy said.

"Who are you?" A boy with thick curly brown hair asked again.

"I'm-" Percy started.

"The greatest hero ever lived." Nico cut in as he emerged from under the staircase. "Hey Grover."

"Sup Nico." Grover said.

"Whoa. That's so cool." A kid piped up from the back, noting his Shadowtravel.

"He knows." Percy said as Nico rolled his eyes at Percy.

"I heard you yelling-" Nico turned to the kids. "And now I see why you stopped."

"I was gonna say the this was the seventh demigod this week." Percy stood up straight and gestured to Grover. "But it's more like seventeenth."

"Eleven of them?" Nico said.

"Sorry." Grover said again.

"It's fine." Percy said. "Seriously dude."

"Where are the others?" Grover asked.

"Second floor-" Percy said.

"Third floor-" Nico continued.

"Training-" Percy said.

"Roof top-" Nico added.

"Swimming pool-" Percy pointed.

"Arcade." Nico finished. "All over the house."

"Woah!" The kids marveled. Two kids ran forward, only to stop in front of Percy's legs, looking around his leg like one would do when they're looking around a pillar.
