Chapter 5: Camping and Aunt Hestia

Triton's P.o.v

We hadn't gone on many dates during our time together, we usually hung out at Olympus or anywhere else, and we weren't alone. My little brother came with.

"To keep you in line," – dad had said and winked, that had me blushing like a gods-damn virgin.

"Big brother where are you going?" My little brother asks while he groggily wipes his eyes to stare at me. He had a nightmare and mom and dad weren't at the palace, so he had snuck into my room.

"I am just going outside to the surface, and camp out for the night" I reply.

Percy sure has grown. It has been eight years since he was brought here. He was immediately welcome to the kingdom. He was always so playful, troublesome and very sarcastic when he wanted to be. This little troublemaker is just what I need to make my day.

"Can I come with you?" He asks with way to much excitement, which puts me on edge thinking he has a plan.

He has been the surface five times and it didn't go so well.

"Sorry Percy" I said "but no"

"Please" he said "I promise I'll behave"

"No"

"Please"

"No"

"Please" this time around he gave me his seal like pleading eyes. It's a trick I can't refuse. Heck, mom and dad can't even refuse it.

"OK, fine" I said giving up.

So we head to the kitchen to get some food to eat, but as always the maids and cooks are ahead of us and have food cooked. We sit at the table and scarf the food down.

"So where about on the surface are we going brother dear?" Percy asks and stares at me.

"We're planning on camping out" I reply

"No, we aren't! We are going to see Apollo aren't we?" Percy teases.

Sighing I nod and see Percy grin widely; "maybe he'll let me drive his sun car?"

"Just bring your weapons with you to be safe." I say and see the gleam in Percy's eyes.

This means he could bring his water bearers, namely "Riptide" and "Depth Charge".

As for me, I could bring my Trident, High Tide, my Net, and Low tide.

After agreeing Percy and I rush to our rooms and pack things to look like we are going camping. We pack: clothes, food, water, a tent, sleeping bags, driftwood, and other necessities for the trip.

I also secure my Trident in its bracelet form and my Net in the buckle of my belt.

Percy grabbed his water bearers and attached to the back of his belt. We then flashed to the campsite.

Setting up camp, and started a fire. We roasted marshmallows, and I tell Percy some scary stories. After a while Apollo came and by then we went for a swim and Apollo takes me to the woods and tells me he is happy to see me.

It was now the time of Artemis and we were tired, we then went to sleep. Settling shifts for the night. Percy volunteered for the first shift. He said because he can't sleep, but I know it is because he is scared. I told him scary stories after all. I went to sleep and a dream came over.

It was just one of my fantasies. It was me kissing Apollo on the lips, feeling his soft yet firm lips. The next picture was us getting married, and we go all out naked and more.

As the next dream was about to arrive, my watch rang signaling the end of Percy's shift. I went out seeing Percy talking to a woman that looked no more than 30 years old. I went to Percy and asked.

"Who was that?"

"It was Aunt Hestia" he said.

Sweet Aunt Hestia, I wonder how she is? It has been a long time since I last saw her.

Percy's P.o.v

I was by the campfire, watching the stars. When I hear some branches break and I snap up from my lying position.

My thinking is disturbed when a woman came over. She was tall, pretty, red hair, and eyes like burning fire.

"Hello Perseus, how are you?" she ask

"Lady, who are you?" I asked "and how do you know me?"

"I am your Aunt Hestia" She said "Poseidon never told us he has another godly son, but I figured it out anyway"

"I am new" I said "I was just born 8 years ago" I paused "dad said he'll introduce me to my uncles when I am twelve"

This lady is my aunt Hestia. From what I've heard, she sticks around the hearth the whole day. She is actually one of the people I respect the most even if, I didn't meet her yet.

"Oh, I see" She said "Poseidon is always the one to give surprises" She then asks me "Are you hungry?"

"A little" I replied. She then produced 5 blue cookies. It was my favorite. How did she know?

One thing I like in the whole world is blue food.

I took it and ask "how did you know?"

"I do my best to know what my family's likes and dislikes" she said "it's been a while since I had a chat with any of my nieces or nephews or their grandchildren for that matter."

"It's only been you and Triton who talk to me so far" she said.

I did the one thing I know that will make her happy. I gave her a hug and said: "I love you Aunt Hestia" and tightened the hug. "When are you going to visit?" I asked.

"Soon child" she smiled and flashes away.

As the flash dissipates, Triton walks out of his tent and asked: "who was that?"

"Aunt Hestia" I said. He nodded and smiled.

"Go to bed" he told me, and I went inside my tent.

Triton's P.o.v

It was getting late and Apollo left earlier to ride the sun. The sweet morning breeze greeted my face.

I smiled at the new day that is to come. Then, suddenly I heard a scream from the distance. I went to investigate. When I arrived at the location, I can't believe my eyes.

It was Artemis' camp.

The hunters and she were being overpowered by packs of hell hounds. She was even forced to move back.

I did one thing that I know could help. I went to Percy. I woke him up and said.

"Percy packs of hell hounds are up ahead, and people are getting hurt" I told him. "So, you have to wake up."

If one god can't do it, then maybe, three can. He got up and grabbed his weapons, and we moved to the battlefield.

When we arrived, the battle was still hot and running. I quickly activated my trident, and Percy activated his water bearers to Katana mode.

I quickly jump, and landed on a hell hound and stabbed it on the head. I impaled them one hound after the other.

Percy also was slashing them, disintegrating them in the end. We arrived to the group. And I said: "Need a hand?"

"Or two" Percy added. More hell hounds were coming and I yelled "charge" and we charged at them.

AN: Cliffhanger. That was alright uh? Man I have not updated this in quite a while and I hope this was alright?

Jaylene Olebar over and out.
