We're Not Dead Yet (Split Souls part 2)

36: An Alliance

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Percy asked.

"You tell me my Mom's a goddess, and then offer to get me a cool prosthetic. If nothing else, I want my goddamn leg." Myers said.

"Okay. Just thought I'd make sure." Percy said, and offered them his arm. "I don't think you'll be able to get down the hill very well on your own."

"Fine." Myers said, and hooked their arm through Percy's.

"Gonna take us to the top of the hill first. That's a view you can't miss." Percy said.

Myers closed their eyes, and opened them when the sensation of vapor traveling disappeared. When they did, the Athena Parthenos devoured the first moments, and then Peleus the dragon. A smile made its way across their face when they took in the Camp itself.

"Okay. This is pretty cool." Myers said.

"You ready for the next jump?" Percy asked.

Myers closed their eyes. Again, they opened their eyes when the sensation passed. This time they were in the middle of things.

"Hey Percy!" The Stolls chorused. "Nice to see you, your highness!"

Myers frowned at Percy. "Your highness?"

Percy blushed slightly. "It's nothing."

"It totally is." Myers retorted.

"Who've you got there?" Malcom asked.

"This is my friend, their name is Myers." Percy said.

The other demigods in the area took note of the 'their' and some gave a brief nod. Others weren't fazed in the slightest.

"Had a rough time, huh?" Malcom asked, clearly meaning the half missing limb.

"Well, sometimes you just can't avoid falling debris when a huge aircraft crashes into your workplace." Myers shrugged.

As if on cue, a glowing symbol appeared over Myers' head. The dove of Aphrodite. The campers around clapped.

"This one seems pretty cool." Was a comment from a Hermes camper.

Myers jumped as much as a one-legged person could when two people suddenly landed beside them.

"Hey Perce!" Jason greeted.

The other individual with him grinned at Myers. She stuck out her hand for Myers to shake. "Welcome to the Aphrodite cabin. I'm Piper."

Myers accepted the shake. "Is heterochromia stuff a thing with our Mom?"

"Well," Piper shrugged. "Her appearance changes all the time. I guess so. It makes sense."

"Can I get Leo and Will?" Percy called out.

"On it!" The Stolls called out before running in opposite directions.

"Who are Leo and Will?" Myers asked.

"Leo's crazy, he'll be the one in charge of making your prosthetic, and Will is the head healer at Camp."

"Oh." Myers said. "Who leads Camp?"

"A couple people." Percy replied.

Piper gave him a look. Jason sighed, and addressed Myers. "Chiron runs the camp, he's the centaur, or the guy in a wheelchair. However, Percy is the leader here."

"Really? A god leads the Camp?" Myers asked.

"When Percy was a demigod, everyone looked up to him. Now he's King of the gods, so." Jason shrugged.
