Author Notes

Hello and welcome to my seventh chapter of Percephone Jackson and the Lightning Thief.

First I would like to thank the reviews of merendinoemiliano, Cheese PuffXx and Myra the Dovahkiin

Myra the Dovahkiin: Your question will be answered in this chapter

No more delay, we go to the fic

- Retrospective of the last chapter -

"It is determined". Chiron announced before everyone on the glade, except my closest friends bowed to me,since they knew I did not like to be treated like a god.

"Poseidon, Lord of the Earthquakes, Bearer of Storms, Father of Horses, Hail; Perseus Jackson, Son of the God of the Sea." Chiron said before looking at the second mark with a raised eyebrow and I could see that most people also looked at the second image with clear confusion shining in their eyes and I sighed

'So I'm Poseidon's son and I'll probably have some explanations to give. This is going to be a long night.' I thought as I felt annoyance at knowing that I could no longer turn into shark.

I looked around at everyone and saw that they were all looking at me, but the only opinions that interested me at the time were those of my friends.

Annabeth was looking at me with a look of surprise on her face while Clarisse gave a positive sign and Ellen was giving a small smile to me, but before I could approach them, Chiron approached the center of the glade before looking me

"Congratulations, will be moved to cabin 3, so you can pick up your things in cabin 11." He said before he waved his hand to scatter the crowd of campers who soon began to walk away, though some were still staring at me

Ellen came over and hugged me with a smile on her face.

"How do you feel?". She asked and I sighed

"It's ... weird ... I can not say it's bad although I can not turn myself into a shark, but having one of the most powerful male gods as a father probably puts a big target on my back and that's one thing I I did not need it right now, so I'm going to have to walk a bit to think, but at least we've solved our space problem. " I said with a small smile, though Ellen had a confused expression on her face

"I'm sure this was not your original plan, so how ...?".

"I was going to build something for ourselves in the middle of the forest, but it looks like we have a whole cabin for both of us." I said, but Ellen sighed.

"I can not get into a cabin other than Hermes's, unless I'm allowed, but I've never heard of anyone else living in another cabin before, and your dad might get angry." Ellen said with a little fear in her voice and I sighed before smiling.

"I checked and there is no official rule book, so the rules are made by the bedding staff, but the leaders of each cabin can do whatever they want inside the cabins, so much so that it harms the camp itself, so I can invite anyone to live with me in my cabin and no one can complain about it. "

"And your father?". Annabeth asked as she approached with an expression of deep thought on her face.

"I respect him as god, but he does not have my respect as a father, at least not yet, so he can not complain about it either." I said and saw Clarisse nodding that we were going to talk later, before heading off to the lake, probably to tell the Limnades whose son I am.

"Well ... this might work. It would not normally work like that, but if it's you, then this might work and ... I wanted to give my congratulations." Annabeth said before hugging me with a flushed face.

"Thank you for the vote of confidence and for the hug, I think I needed , I'm going to the lake to think a bit, so you could take your belongings and mine and take you to the door of cabin 3?" I asked and Ellen nodded with a big smile on her face before stepping off leaping toward cabin 11

"That's the biggest smile I've ever seen she give while in the camp." Annabeth said as we walked towards the lake

"I can imagine why. She hates staying in crowded places and so do I." I said before I sighed

"Did you know that Athena and Poseidon have a rivalry?". Annabeth asked, but I shook my head.

"It started with the creation of the city of Athens, I will spare you the full story, but our parents have a rivalry, so I expect some animosity from my brothers and sisters." Annabeth said and I raised an eyebrow

"And you're not included in that?"

"I admit that I was surprised to find out who your father is, but the rivalry between them should not affect your children, so I'm still your friend." Annabeth said and soon after we got to the lake

I sat on the edge of the lake and looked at the surface of the water

"You did not just tell me that as a curiosity, did you?" I asked hopefully, but she shook her head.

"Some of my brothers and sisters should not think like me, so hopefully some of them may act differently with you, but I believe they will be few."

"I do not have a problem with that. I do not worry about people who do not like me, especially if it's because of an age-old rivalry between their mother and a father I've never met. I'm fine with the majority of people, but the only people whose opinions I care about are my family and close friends like you, Clarisse and Thalia for example "

"I'd like to ask you something related to her, but I never found a chance. Did you talk to her again?" Annabeth asked, but I shook my head.

"I wanted to talk to her again and I'll try today, but the last time I tried she did not respond to my calls, but I think she was asleep."

"Do you think I can go in there with you? I really want to talk to her again." Annabeth asked with doggy eyes and I looked away before sighing.

"I do not know, the only person who came into the dream world with me was Ellen, but she's a magician and used spells to be able to stay in the dream world, but we can try tonight." I said and Annabeth instantly hugged me before walking away with her face flushed

"Sorry,...I...".

"You can not wait to see her again and I'll do my best for you two to meet again". I said with a gentle smile on my face before looking at the water where the face of a Limnade with purple hair,witch hat and green eyes appeared

"Good morning, Samantha." I said and she smiled

"Good morning to you too. We got the news thanks to Clarisse and we're happy for you. What's it like being Poseidon's son?"

"It's a strange feeling, I can not deny it, but I think I can get used to it ... with some time." I said before getting up

"I'm going to pack my things and Ellen's things in our cabin, so I'll go back to conversations with them all night, okay?" I asked and Samantha nodded.

"I understand that the feeling of discovering your Olympian father or mother can be quite shocking, but you will get used to it." Samantha said with a smile on her face and Annabeth nodded, making a small smile appear on my face before I got up and headed toward cabin 3

So either I approached, I saw Ellen sitting on the porch step of the cabin and she looked excited, although I was a bit afraid too, but as soon as she saw me, she approached

"I got your things and mine." She said, pointing to a small pile of belongings before pointing to a much larger pile with many things reminiscent of a witch's belongings.

I nodded before picking up my things and approached the door of cabin 3 and opened it. The first thing I saw was the floor, made of blue marble cut from the deepest oceanic abyss, and soon after I saw the walls made of sea rock darker at the bottom and lighter at the top remembering the depth of the ocean

There were twenty comfortable-looking beds in two rows, some shelves, a large table that looked like wreckage, a wardrobe and a bedside table for each bed, but the main one was a large aquarium filled with countless fish whose names came to my head instantaneously and I feel a slight headache, but soon a sense of calm passed through my body and I sighed in pleasure

"I think you should feel at home in this cabin." Ellen said as she came in and I noticed that Annabeth was looking in from the door

"Yes ... I have a feeling of content that seems to fill my soul with something that was missing." I said before putting my things in a bed in the middle of the cabin and looking at the girls.

"Ellen, you can choose any bed you want and I think you can use that table for your experiences and spells." I said and Ellen smiled and hugged me before putting some things on a bed near the aquarium and putting the rest on the big table

"This is perfect Percy, I have more space than I need and it's all thanks to you."

"No problem, I help my friends whenever I can." I looked at Annabeth and invited her to come in with a wave of my hand

"You can come in whenever you want, Annabeth, just knock on the door first." I said and Annabeth nodded before reluctantly entering the cabin and looking at the aquarium

"Make yourself comfortable, I just have to pack up my few things and then I go to sleep." I said, feeling the fatigue of my struggle with Clarisse hit my body like a car on a brick wall as I placed the minotaur's horn on my bedside table and my secondary change of clothes in the wardrobe

Meanwhile, Ellen was putting several books and pots on the table and Annabeth was helping her.

"This place is really cool and I absolutely loved the aquarium." Annabeth said and I smiled.

"I have to agree, I also loved the aquarium, but I still plan to add some things to make this place more enjoyable as a television and a pool".

"A pool would be nice, but I want to project it ... if you do not mind, of course." Annabeht asked and I smiled

"Of course, I would love to. I want something simple but refined, but we can decide that another day, I'm sleepy now and just want to get some sleep." I said as I looked at my bed and Annabeth nodded before heading toward the exit, but she stopped as soon as she opened the door

"Let's talk more tomorrow, but for now, good night and good dreams for you both." She said before leaving

"You made her excited and she's probably going to sleep with the pool design on her head." Ellen said before picking up a pajamas decorated with cute little bats and went to a door made of wood that I had not noticed before

"I'll change if you do not mind." She said and I nodded at her to enter and close the door, though I did not hear the clatter of the lock

'She trusts me not to peek, though she may not mind since I have a feminine side too.' I thought before shrugging and looking around to see if there was something I had not noticed at first glance but nothing else was different than what I had seen and I sighed as I waited for Ellen to finish.

As soon as she came out of what I assumed to be the bathroom, dressed in pajamas that made her look cute and provocative at the same time, I nodded to her before going through the door and saw a large bathroom with 5 enclosed compartments where they were located toilets, a large balloon with 7 sinks, a large mirror over the sinks and 10 bathroom boxing

"This bathroom looks much better than the outside ones, but I think it makes sense since it must have been cleaned and then never used again today." I thought before going into the shower and turning on the hot water, letting out a sigh of relief as I felt the water dripping down my skin

As soon as I got out of the shower, I put on my clothes, but before I left the bathroom, I saw 1 panties with small witch hats stamped and I sighed before picking her up off the floor and tossing into the laundry basket

As soon as I left the bathroom, I saw Ellen in front of me and sighed again

"I already threw her in the laundry basket to be washed tomorrow." I said and Ellen nodded with a small blush on her face before heading toward her bed and I toward mine and lay down.

"What are you going to do in the dream world today?" Ellen asked and I sighed for the tenth time today

"I'll make Annabeth and Thalia meet." I said and turned my head towards Ellen when I heard a shocked sigh and smiled at the sight of her mouth open in shock

"Thalia died, so how did you ... Did she really die?" Ellen asked and I shook my head.

"Apparently Zeus turned her into a pine tree before she died altogether, so she's still alive, even though she's a pine tree now."

"I did not expect it, but I'm pleasantly surprised by that. Annabeth really deserves to meet her best friend"

"Good evening, Ellen." I said before closing my eyes, but I heard a glad sigh from Ellen

"Good evening to you too and thank you again for that." She said and I gave a slight wave of my hand before going to the dream world.

As soon as I opened my eyes on the dream world, I saw that Ellen was still asleep, so I became my kitsune form and went directly to Athena's cabin, but before I entered it, I saw Annabeth coming out of the inside and I raised an eyebrow

"Ellen lent me the amulet she uses to enter the dream world." She explained and I nodded before we headed towards Thalia's pine tree.

"Ellen lent you the amulet, and you even asked me why you needed to come here?" I asked and Annabeth smiled

"I said I needed a way to come here and that was urgent, but when she asked why, I told her to ask you." She said and I shook my head in amusement before we got close to the tree.

"Relax, she still cares a lot about you and will be very happy to see you again." I said after realizing how tense Annabeth was and she relaxed a bit

"Hold my tail and we'll see your friend very lost." I said and Annabeth instantly held my tail before I touched the ball of Thalia's dream.

Again I was on the hill with storm clouds in the sky and again I saw Thalia sitting on the tree stump facing in the opposite direction from where I was

"I'll talk to her and then you'll come in." I whispered to Annabeth before approaching Thalia.

"You do not dream much, pine girl." I said and Thalia tensed for a second before relaxing again

"I sleep a lot, so maybe you just do not get into the moments when I'm asleep." She said before shrugging and I sighed.

"That may be a motive ... but changing the subject, what is your biggest wish?, and just to clarify, I'm not talking about being an apple tree." I told her I saw that Thalia was thinking

"I have many desires like not being a tree or driving a Ferrari, but my biggest desire is to see Annabeht again." She said and I raised an eyebrow

"Only Annabeth?"

"I'd like to see Luke too, but I've gotten much more attached to Annabeth than he did." Thalia explained and I nodded.

"Well, I can not transform your physical body back into the form of a girl ... at least not for the moment and since you're in the dream world, you can drive a Ferrari whenever you want ..."

"It's going to be a fake Ferrari that does not even come close to the real one."

"You're right but I can still fulfill your main wish," I said with a fox grin, causing Thalia to blink and stare at me, but I just pointed back at her with my tail

Thalia turned her body until she saw Annabeth looking at her very reluctantly, but instead of the expected reaction, she just started laughing

"I've tried this before to get myself out of the loneliness of this place, but it was just an illusion, so she had no feelings and just said what she thought she was going to say, so this ..."

"Thalia ...?" Annabeth said with a clear tone of longing in her voice as tears of joy trickled down her face and Thalia instantly stopped what she was talking about before looking at me in shock but I just nodded.

Thalia rose from the stump quietly before walking slowly toward Annabeth.

"Ann, is it really you?" She asked in a reverent tone and Annabeht nodded before running toward Thalia and giving her a big hug, crying audibly as the two of them touched

Thalia was shocked for a second before wrapping Annabeth in her arms and putting her head on Annabeth's shoulders as she shed tears of happiness.

They stayed like that for a few minutes, just enjoying each other's presence before Thalia pulled away with a big smile on her face.

"Annabeth, you've grown a lot."

"And you look exactly like you were before." Annabeth answered and Thalia rolled her eyes and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I never expected to see you again, Annabeth. Tell me everything that happened after I turned a tree.

"Well, the story is a little long, but I think we have time." She said before beginning to explain

I was silent as they talked so as not to disturb the exciting reunion and smiled at the excitement with which they were talking

"They are very excited, but it's justified. I want to help Thalia fully return to the world of the living, but I do not have that power yet, but maybe I can if I try hard ... it seems like I have some questions for Mitera ' . I thought with a sigh before noticing that Thalia was looking at me

"Did you tell Annabeth that I wanted to be an apple tree?" She asked with a pout on the cheek and I looked at Annabeth, seeing she was laughing a lot

"Well ... I did not see it as a secret to be kept and we have to admit it's funny." I said with a fox smile, and Thalia blushed slightly, but nodded before sighing.

"I lost a lot of things while I was in my tree form, but I hope I can recover everything if I ever get back to normal."

"You're going back to normal, I'm sure of it. I researched some formal and the risky mens would be if percephone helped, but ...". Annabeth said a little uncertainly as she looked at me.

"I do not have that kind of power yet. I'll try to bring you back to normal, but I'll just be able to think about it once I find the lightning your father lost." I said and Thalia blinked.

"My father lost the master bolt?" Thalia asked in surprise and Annabeth, who had stopped laughing, nodded before explaining the case

"So my father's lightning was stolen along with Hades's helm of darkness and no one knows who stole these items? That's a real problem." Thalia said with a worried expression.

"You have no idea. Your father and his brother have their guns stolen and they decide to blame their other brother and then my father and yours start fighting like two little children."

"Are you ... Poseidon's daughter?" Thalia asked surprised and I made a tailpalm

"I should have said it before, but I only found out today and I was going to talk after you finished speaking to Annabeth, but yes, I am Poseidon's son ... or at least my male form is, in that form I am Hestia's daughter ". I said and then explained how I had become Hestia's daughter, and at the end of the story, Thalia whistled

"You never cease to amaze me," Thalia said and I sighed.

"You do not know half of it. Your father blames me for stealing his lightning bolt, since I never went to Mount Olympus, though I've already attended a meeting through my Mitera's necklace"

"..." Thalia opened and closed her mouth for a few moments before her face became furious.

"My father seems to have gone crazy for once. He can not accuse one of my best friends of stealing anything without evidence. He has done this before by the records and never ended well." Thalia said before looking at the lightning bolts of her dream world and began to utter offenses before Annabeth grabbed her from behind in a hug and I approached and began rubbing my face in her leg.

"I'm going to settle this. I'm going to ask for a mission tomorrow to look for this fucking lightning before the summer solstice meeting. Annabeth, can I count on your help?" I asked and Annabeth looked at me.

"I've been waiting for a mission for a long time. You can count on me." Annabeth said with an excited face and I smiled before looking at Thalia

"And I need you to cheer for us, because if any monster finds out that we've rescued the Zeus's master bolt, then they're going to come after us just like ants go after sugar." I said and Thalia looked at me as she calmed down

"I'll ... cheer for both of you, but I wanted to do more ..." Thalia said and Annabeth hugged her

"You two wait here, I'll get the other girls together." I said and saw that Thalia raised an eyebrow, but I got out of her dream before she could say anything and ran into Ellen's dream, where I saw she was sitting on a fence while watching a pasture full of sheep

"I did not know people were still counting sheep to get to sleep." I said, making Ellen fall on the grass and I started laughing

"That's not funny, Percephone. What do you want to talk about?" She asked and I raised an eyebrow, but before I could speak, she rolled her eyes.

You would not have entered my dream if you did not want to say something." She said and I sighed.

"You have a good point. I'm going to ask for a mission tomorrow to find that stupid lightning and I wonder if I can count on your help?" I asked and she nodded.

"You do not have to ask me anything. I'll help you whenever you need me." She said and I held out my tail to her.

"We're gathered in the dream world and I'm going to take you there." I said and she held my tail before we got out of her dream.

"I'll go after Clarisse, so wait for me at Thalia's pine." I said and she nodded before I ran towards the Ares cabin, but as soon as I got there, I did not see her dream ball anywhere

"Clarisse is awake, so I'll talk to her tomorrow." I said with a sigh and left the cabin, but when I was going back to the pine tree, I looked at the Apollo cabin and sighed again before entering.

Inside the cabin, I could see bunk beds on either side with a crib in the middle of the cabin for the wounded, the floor was made of pure gold and warm to the touch, though it could not burn anyone. The walls were full of medical instruments and targets for archery while the ceiling was made of glass, although the outside still looked made of gold

I rolled my eyes to ostentation and headed toward a dream ball that was brighter than the others and I sighed

"I can regret this, but I need her power." I said before playing dream ball, but as soon as I appeared in the dream, I was amazed to be in a Japanese shrine themed with the sun

The dream was very big, and it took me twenty minutes to find Naomi, but finally I saw her sitting on the temple roof as she looked directly at the sun as it descended into the horizon

"I did not know that the children of Apollo could look into the sun without being blind, it is an interesting power and not very useful." I said, surprising the girl, but before she fell off the roof, I grabbed her with my tail.

Thank you, I did not expect you to give me a fright like before, especially after I came to the States, but you got me this time ..." Naomi stopped talking after looking at me, but before I could say anything to understand what she was talking about, she started to shed tears and hugged me

"Zana ... what did you ... how did you get here?" She asked between sobs of joy and I was getting even more confused

"Who is Zana?"

"Zana is you, you silly." She said before pulling away from me and looking at my tail

"Zana has three tails, so you can not be Zana. Who are you?" She asked and I sighed

"My name is Percephone and I need your help."

"What kind of help? I could not learn to do exorcisms yet." She said and I blinked

"You know we're in a dream, right?" I asked and she nodded.

"Well ... I'll explain everything in the dream world." I said and extended my hand for her to grab

She stared at me for a minute before grabbing my tail and we headed back to the dream world

"Is this the dream world?" She asked as she looked around and I nodded.

"Yes, this is the dream world." I replied and she sighed

"It's a little more boring than I thought it would be, but back to the main subject, what is the reason you took me out of my dream?" She asked with a tone of curiosity and a little irritation in her voice.

"I'll explain as soon as we're all together." I answered and she looked at me suspiciously but nodded.

As soon as the two of us arrived at the tree, I saw Ellen leaning against the pine tree, but as soon as she saw me, she approached

"You took more than ...". She stopped talking when she saw Naomi next to me and then looked at me with a raised eyebrow

"She's strong and can be a lot of help. I'll get Annabeth and we'll have an emergency meeting." I said before entering Thalia's dream.

"You're late." Thalia said when I appeared near her and I sighed

"It took me a while to find one of the girls. You do not know how big the dreams can be." I said, making Thalia roll her eyes

"Well, good luck with the meeting." She said and I raised an eyebrow

"How come so good luck, you come too." I said before looking around and noticing the lack of the second girl

"I can not go together, it would only give me more trouble than ..."

"Where's Annabeth?" I asked, interrupting Thalia in the middle of the sentence and she sighed in irritation

"She needed to go to the bathroom." She said as if it were the most normal thing in the world and would normally be if this were not the dream world

"She should not have to go to the bathroom since we're in her dream. That does not make sense." I said, but Thalia just smirked, making me raise an eyebrow

"That would be true, unless the dream lady decided that everyone inside him needed to go to the bathroom. I tried that earlier with you but it did not work, although it worked perfectly for Annabeth." She said and I made a facetail

"Okay, so where's the bathroom you created?" I asked, but my question was answered when I heard the noise from the toilet and the trunk of a nearby tree opened like a door and Annabeth came out of it

"That was not funny, Thalia." Annabeth said with a flushed face and I made another facetail

"I will not even ask. Hold my tail so we can go to the meeting at once." I said and Annabeth caught my tail, but Thalia shook her head.

"I'm useless to you at the moment, so you do not ...". I interrupted Thalia's phrase by touching the tip of her tail on her leg and then back to the hub hub, but as soon as we got back, Thalia punched me lightly on the head

"This is for interrupting my speech and ..." Thalia was interrupted again when Ellen and Naomi gave her a big hug

"I'm glad to see you're still alive, Thalia." Naomi said with respect after pulling away and bowing in the traditional manner to Thalia as Ellen continued to hug her

"I did not imagine that kind of reaction." I said as I looked surprised at the scene

"Thalia's death was felt by everyone in the camp, even those who did not know her and her body now protects our borders, so everyone has great respect for who she is." Annabeth explained as she wiped a tear off her cheek.

As soon as the girls calmed down, I gave a slight grunt to catch my eye and sighed.

"Now that I have your attention, I'll start by explaining who I am to Naomi and then we can go to the main subject." I said and got a nod from everyone before Naomi sat down in front of me and I explained all the relevant parts to her.

At the end of the story, she was in shock and her only response was to open and close her mouth repeatedly until some sentence could come out

"I had no idea you were ...".

"A Kitsune?" I tried to tell you, but whenever I approached to talk to you, you walked away as if I was contaminated with the black plague. I said and she blushed

"I'm sorry ... a lot of boys always try to get close to me because of my beauty or because I'm oriental, but I ... I'm a lesbian and some people in the camp have already expressed their dislike for gays ...". She said ashamed, but I simply put my tail around her

"No one here will judge you, so do not worry about it. We just want to be your friends." I said and I could feel her shoulders relaxing.

"The only other girl in our group is Clarisse." I said and she looked at me like I had turned into the batman right in front of her

"The most rude, violent, and volatile girl I've ever met is a good person?" Naomi asked and Annabeth nodded.

"It was a surprise to me too, but it was a pleasant surprise. We were enemies, but now we're great friends." Annabeth said and I nodded before sighing.

"Well, now let's get down to the main subject. I'm going to ask for a quest to find the master bolt of Zeus before he decides to blow me up unfairly and I'm going to need your help." I said and explained my situation to Naomi.

"It seems like you're in a difficult situation. I'll help you, but if I ever need help, I hope you do the same for me." She said and I smile

"I will always help my friends whenever I can, so do not worry about it, but taking advantage of the fact that we are talking about personal matters, who is Zana?" I asked and Namoi sighed, making the other girls look confused at us

"She's a kitsune like you, except she has three tails and her fur is purple with gold stripes." Naomi explained and I nodded a little impressed by the unusual color

"This is a really beautiful fur. How did you get to know this Kitsune?" I asked trying to figure out the mystery surrounding Naomi, but before she answered, Annabeth whistled

"Can anyone explain what's going on?" She asked and I nodded.

"Apparently Naomi met another Kitsune named Zana before me and confused me with her, although how she mistook me for a purple fur fox is still a mystery to me." I said and Naomi blushed

"It was just the euphoria to see a friend lost a lot. Zana has been my protector since I was born, but I had to come to the United States because of my father's new job and she can not come together for personal reasons, so I I miss her. "

"I'm sorry, this must be difficult for you." I said as I stroked her back with my butt and she smiled a little

"Did Apollo need a new job?" Ellen asked confused, but Naomi shook her head.

"My father is human." Naomi replied and I was confused.

"You said that your friend Zana is a kitsune of three tails and that she was your protector, but why you needed a kitsune as strong as bodyguards?". Thalia asked

"Well ... I do not say this to anyone, but you told me your biggest secret and it would be unfair not to tell mine to you. I am Amaterasu's daughter." She said and a sepulchral silence fell on the group with this great revelation.

-Chapter End-

A/N=This was the seventh chapter of Percephone Jackson and the Lightning Thief

It took a while, but finally I got the time to finish it and edit

We did not have much action in this chapter, but I hope you were surprised by the revelation at the end

In the next chapter, we will have the end of the meeting and the beginning of the quest in search of the lightning of Zeus

See you in the next chapter, so good morning or night for all of you.
