Who Is Percy Jackson?
Jason
Okay I was getting fed up. The campers always said things like, "If only Percy were here." And, "Percy would know how to handle it." People have told me he is a hero and a great swordsman, but I have also heard he's and idiot and reckless. So who is Percy Jackson?
I have asked everyone in camp except… Annabeth, but if I ask her she might kill me or start crying. So I go to find Annabeth.
Last I saw her she was going to her cabin to look over some blueprints. I walked to the Athena cabin and knocked on the door. One of the Athena boys opened it.
"I need to talk to Annabeth." I told him.
He nodded, "I hope for your sake there isn't another problem with the ship. She would kill you." Without waiting for a response he turned around and said, "Annabeth someone's here to see you."
She came to the door looking exhausted.
"Hey Jason," She said with a yawn. "Anything wrong?"
I shook my head, "No I just wanted to ask you something."
She looked like she already knew what I wanted.
So she said, "Okay let's go in the Big House to talk."
We walked silently to the Big House and into the meeting room. Well technically it's just the game room. They hold the meetings around a pool table.
I was the first to speak, "I was wondering about your boyfriend." I said a little embarrassed.
She nodded, "I was thinking you would want to hear about him."
I nodded, "Who is he? I've heard a hero and I've heard an idiot. Which one is true?"
She smiled like she was remembering something, "He was both. His fatal flaw was loyalty and most of his heroics were to help others. His first quest was to get Zeus' lightning back, but he just wanted to get his mom back. His second sort of quest was to help get the Golden Fleece, but he wasn't allowed to go. So we snuck out, but he wanted the fleece to save camp and he wanted to save Grover. The third one was to save Artemis, but he wanted to save me. Really he wasn't supposed to be on that quest either. The forth one was to go through the Labyrinth to stop Kronos's armies from getting into camp. He blew up Mount Saint Helen's and landed on Ogygia. Calypso's island. He came back even though he could have escaped his prophecy by staying. Then he bathed in the river Styx in an effort to stop Kronos. Kronos was hosting in my friend Luke, but at the end Luke got back control. Percy handed him my knife knowing Luke would probably attack him on the small chance Luke could defeat Kronos. Percy is an idiot, but he's my idiot." She said all this without taking a breath.
"Oh," was all I could say before she left.
I had decided Percy Jackson was an idiot.
Standing on the deck of the Argo II I pictured Percy Jackson. I saw this buff guy who likes to show off. A guy who pretends to care. So when we got off the boat and I saw him I was shocked.
This kid was lanky with black hair and sea-green eyes. Not buff at all. And more than that he was wearing a praetor's robe. MY praetor's robe.
So I decided Percy Jackson was a thief.
This assumption started to change when he saw how much Octavian hated the guy. But, he thought, it was only because Octavian wanted the praetorship.
He decided no matter who this guy was we needed him. So after Percy told him of his quest I whistled and said, "No wonder they made you praetor."
Octavian snorted, "Which means we have three praetors! The rules clearly state we can only have two!"
Percy smiled and said, "On the bright side both Jason and I outrank you, Octavian. So we can both tell you to shut up."
Octavian had turned purple, so I bumped fists with the guy.
Reyna gave a small smile and said, "We'll figure out the extra praetor later. Right now we have more serious issues to deal with."
"I'll step aside for Jason." Percy said, "It's no biggie."
While Octavian was questioning that I started to realize what he was.
So I decided Percy Jackson was a friend.
