Hi. I am Percy.

I am 7 years old and my mommy was killed. She was killed by a big bull-man (Minotaur).

That's the bad news.

The good news is that after my mommy died, a man that smelled like the sea came and saved me from the evil bull-man. He carried me very gently, and he kept whispering kind words. He seemed very nice. Soon after he saved me, I fell asleep.

When I woke up, there was someone else sitting next to me. When he saw I was awake, he smiled. He had a very bright smile. He looked at me and said,

" Hey little cousin. Glad you're awake. When you are ready, we are going to see your father. He will want to see you." I wanted to correct him, but he seemed so nice! However, I knew that I had no daddy. He got lost at sea. It occurred to me that with my mommy dead, I had no one left. I started crying. I missed mommy. Why did she have to die!? That bull-man was a big bully!

When Mr. Bright-smile saw that I was crying, he picked me up, and said in a kind voice,
"Why are you crying little cuz?"

I looked up at him and said through my tears,
"My mommy died and I have no daddy. Now I am all alone." Then I started crying even harder.

" Aww, little cuz.. it will be OK." The man said. I didn't know why he was calling me 'cuz'. Didn't that mean cousin? My mommy is an only child, so I didn't have cousins. No, she was an only child. I repositioned myself in the man's arms, and he held me tight. I felt safe. Slowly I stopped crying, the man gently rubbing my back the whole
time. Once I was no longer crying, the man set me down. Then he said,

"Come on, little cuz. We don't want to keep your father waiting." Then he started walking away. I quickly ran up and grabbed his hand. This man made me feel safe, I wanted to make sure he didn't walk away to fast.

He lead me through a beautiful city. There were stunning gardens, beautiful statues, amazing artwork. It was all very pretty and I would have been very impressed if my mommy didn't just die. Mr. Bright-smile looked down at me and said,

"This is Olympus. It's very pretty, isn't it?" I just nodded. He stopped walking and kneeled down so he could be eye level with me. Then he said,

" I know you are sad about your mother. You aren't the only one, me and my sister are sad too. We are going to try our hardest to make sure you are happy. Ok?"  I nodded, and Mr. Bright-smile smiled and gave me a quick hug, then he got up and started walking again. I quickly grabbed his hand and followed after him.

Ouch. This chapter is really really short. The word count is 500. I promise to make the chapters longer as Percy grows up.
