It the summer after her first year in high school and she couldn’t wait. There wasn’t supposed to be any problems this time so it would be a totally quest free summer. She had just packed up her bag and stowed it away in her shadows. She was going to stay on her boat this summer but this time it would be docked on the shore.
This summer she was going to spend it with her friends, boyfriend, and training. She had planned on painting the boat get it looking more like she wanted. She even bought the varnish to make the deck nice and shiny. most of those things were stocked up in the gallows of the ship.
Once dressed in her painter’s whites and Avenge Sevenfold tank top she walked upstairs to see her mom one last time for the next few months.
When she got up there Nico was already standing there telling her all about his card game. Mama was listening as adamantly as she could with little Percy trying so wiggle out of her arms. He had wild raven hair and pure black eyes that sparkled with excitement. He took after mama in skin tone though and had soft peach skin and effeminate facial features. He would make a very pretty boy when he got older. Makes her wish she would be there to see it.
"Well I’m already. Why didn’t you put your bag in storage, Nico?" The boy blushed before channeling his mana and doing just that.
"Sorry it’s hard to picture it sometimes." She had tried to explain to him that it was like a hidden suitcase so many times but it just didn’t click with him. She rubbed his head, messing up his longish hair in the process.
"That’s fine, it happens." She turned to mama and gave her hug. "You know I would invite you to come but I don’t want Percy around all the paints and stuff. We're all loopy enough, we don’t need to add stoner to his list just yet." One thing they had picked up on was that the boy loved smelling things and more than once found the cleaning chemical.
Her mama laughed, "I’d rather have stoner than psychopath. Besides I already know he's going to be weird, he is a son of Hades after all." Both teens were about to deny it when they realized it was true. With Nico’s not so hidden sexuality and her everything it was a good point.
"Funny, but remember you’re the one that has to put up with him when he goes on his munchie craving." Her mom flinched at that. She would probably say something about her meat but it was actually cheaper than expected. Then again why would she complain when she wouldn’t run out of money.
"Gods when did my daughter become such a smartalic?" Mama slumped a little but kept smiling.
"I’ve always been that way, you just didn’t notice until I became a teenager. Got to love puberty." She looked over at her brother, "Well Nico might hate it. But that’s because of Gym class." Sally looked at them with a smirk as Persia giggled while Nico blushed deeper than a tomato. Yeah, they were weird.
"Okay you ready Nico? I do have people to see and things to do?" she could have sworn she heard her mama mutter something about boyfriends and protection but wisely ignored it. Beside she had protection in her night stand already.
the boy nodded just before the shadow behind him wrapped him around the waist and dragged him into it. The entire way he screamed. Little Percy was giggling and clapping away while her mama was just shaking her head in amusement.
"Since when can you shadow travel others without going with them? And was that strictly necessary?" That had been a little trick she was working on for a few months now. She didn’t just make out with Dionysius when they meet up, that was just a big chunk of it.
"I figured it out a few months ago, but I’m still trying to master it, that was actually smoother than I expected but that could be because he's a son of hades." She rubbed her chin in thought "And yes I did. The little brat shadow traveled into my room the other night to try and scare me. I was a little busy when he did it and he ended up running out terrified." She had gotten her vengeance on the twerp now she was much happier.
"I see...so that’s why I’ve been hearing sounds at night. You really need to learn to silence yourself, it keeps waking up Percy." Didn’t matter that sally was the same way and was more than likely to wake him then she was, must always do as Mama says cause when she didn’t it was scary. It was the first and last time she said no to vegetables.
"Love you" Persia didn’t wait any longer before calling up her own shadow and heading off to camp. If she had she would have heard her mother talking to Percy about sneaking into her room to raid her chocolate stash.
Like always she popped out in her room on the ship. It was empty at the moment since it was the first room she was going to work on. It sucked she wasn’t going to have it long but at least she can do is make it nice for her family.
Cracking her knuckles, she walked out to get the things she needed. As she walked passed the quarter masters room she laughed when she heard Nico still cursing up a storm and the banging of furniture. You'd think he would use the shadows to move things.
Soon she was controlling the paint to bust it out of its container before spreading it over the walls. It took forever and she had to be careful that there weren’t any spots that showed the wood behind it. When she was finally finished inspecting it she dried it out. It was a nice cream color that fit the room rather well.
Once that was done she did the same with the varnish. That one was a lot harder because she couldn’t see it all too well. So, she did a simple trick and felt out the substance and spread it out as evenly as possible. If there were spots she could always touch up on it later.
Half an hour later her bedroom was put back in place and looked much nicer than she could give it credit for. It didn’t even smell like paint or anything. Thalia was liking it as she snuggled up on the golden fleece. Yes, she had turned it into a dog bed for her best friend. It made Dionysius laugh his butt off when he realized what it was.
Walking out she headed down to Nico’s room and knocked. There was a bit of a ruckus before he came and opened it. Not even asking she walked in and looked around. The bed had been pushed in the corner with all the other furniture while all the things he had up on the walls or on the floor were thrown on the bed.
"It took you an hour to do that? Really Nico, are you even trying?" She didn’t mean for it to sound mean but it probably did.
"Hey I tried, it’s not my fault I’m not as strong as you!" there was a sliver of sadness and disappointment in his voice.
"Nico I’m not mad or anything. I’m just surprised you didn’t think to use you powers to help you with this." his face turned to one of confusion. Seriously was she like this or is it just because she's a girl.
"But there too heavy for them to pick up and too big to put them in my storage. Its barely big enough for my suitcase." she took a minute to come up with another way to describe it, obviously, a suitcase was bad idea. when she had it she snapped her fingers getting his attention once more.
"You've seen a storage unite before, haven’t you?" he nodded slowly not seeing where she was going with this, "Think of your storage as something like that. When you open your shadow to it your opening the door to a storage unit. You can make this unit as big as you desire but the larger it is the more concentration it will take to pull out what you want."
Personally, hers was the size of a fort Knox but she wouldn’t tell him that. Thankfully understanding lite up his eyes and within minutes all his things were packed away. Double checking to make sure he didn’t miss anything. She wasn’t going to help him with his room, if he wanted it painted then he had to do it. it wasn’t mean, she just wanted to teach him a little responsibility. The only reason he probably agreed to do it was because she gave him a copy of Calvin Cline male models magazine. He had stammered over it but didn’t give it back.
She figured it would take him a few days to do it and she would most likely have to go back over it and fix a few things but that was fine by her.
Once she was back on the deck she called the sail down and started unhooking it. It may be the original but the thing was ripped all over and rather poorly made. She was glad that a few weeks ago she had ordered a new one, a bunch of rope, and a custom-made flag. Neither one would be here for a few weeks to a month but that gave her plenty of time to get the mast all fixed up and freshly varnished. Something tells her that her arm was going to feel sore at the end of this. Since Nico had his job she headed out to grab some important things.
Walking down off the ramp she had Nina from the Hephestaus cabin build she let her toes wiggle around in the sand. Guess being a daughter of Poseidon wasn’t so bad it’s just the man that she couldn’t stand.
Looking around she smiled that people were out being normal. Even though they knew there was going to be a massive battle two years from then they were easily having a regular life. In a way, she guessed she was to. With a smile, she walked toward the big house to find her favorite person.
As she got closer she could feel his presence from within the building. He really sucked at hiding it but maybe that’s because he has so much of it. She might just have to learn a way to control it before it gets too high. She didn’t feel him moving which probably meant he was taking a nap, sometimes she swears if she didn’t get him off his butt and do something he wouldn’t.
"Hello Chiron." The old Centaur looked at her not sure who she was before she noticed the swirls running over her skin.
"Ah Good morning Persia. I must say I didn’t recognize you for a moment. Did you do something different with your hair?" she giggled at the man but shook her head.
"Nope just growing up. One of us has to after all" It was true, the man looked like he had stopped aging in his early thirties. Has nothing to do with the fact that she was his mothing in a past life. That’s a can of worms she didn’t want to open.
"I suppose but I quite like being a child when I can. Well make sure you don’t grow up to fast." he sounded a little old at the end, probably thinking about past heroes and campers.
"To late sir but its fine. Do you know when Dionysius is going to be up? I wanted to see if he'd help me with the ship." the old horse cocked an eyebrow at her but nodded.
"Around lunch, so a few hours at least." She thanked him before heading off into camp.
She didn’t really know all that many of them to be honest. There were the cabin councilor's that she met on odd occasions but besides that no one else really. From what she knew Annabeth was spending the summer with her dad and Peter was down in Atlantis for the next few weeks. She didn’t know what had happened with Katie and Lucas since they stopped hanging out a while back. Clarisse was at camp but more than likely she was busy with that Chris boy she found in the Labyrinth a year ago. It was cute that the girl finally let herself get attached to someone but it sure sucked when she wasn’t ever there anymore.
As she walked around she wondered about that old dummy she used to beat up all the time. Would it still be there and if it was what would happen to it when she went against it? Another thing that had been picking at her was why didn’t they just destroy the thing. It didn’t react until you got in some form of combat stance so as long as they don’t try and fight it they would be fine.
Suddenly she bumped into something hard, knocking her to the ground. With pain in her butt she looked up to see what happened. It was Charles Beckendorf. she knew that only because of his easy smile, kind eyes, and nearly pitch black skin. Seriously if this guy ran around at night naked you wouldn’t see him. She wasn’t racist or anything but she had to admit that it’s kind of cool. Must be hard to get a tan though.
"Sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was looking." he didn’t say anything but he did offer a hand to her. Reaching up she grabbed it and he easily pulled her up to her feat. His Strength stat must be supper high, if he could see it.
"You’re the girl that helped in the forge a few years ago." his voice was deep and almost lite a fire in her loins, almost.
"Yeah, I needed something to do so I thought I’d help out." She rubbed her butt trying to get the pain out of it from where the rock she fell on pressed in. Stupid rocks.
"It was appreciated. I also wish to thank you for all those scraps of celestial bronze that you found. Its helped us make better weapons than we have been." he seemed to think of something as his eyes trailed up and down her form. "Were working on something at the moment and could really use someone of your size to help. If you’re willing that is?'
She really didn’t have anything to do besides varnishing the outer layer of the deck and paint the inside and hallway. If there was one thing she like about the design of the ship it was that the doors the two upper quarters were inside a hallway in the middle of the ship while the workers and kitchen rooms were downstairs.
"Sure, might just be fun." The ebony boy nodded before walking off toward the forges. Not really sure what to do she followed. It was a rather silent walk but that was fine. When she was curious she tended to blabber and she highly doubt he wanted to deal with that.
When they finally got to forges he calmly walked passed it and turned to walk to the back. Seeing no other choice, she followed. As soon as she rounded the corner her eyes landed on giant metal dragon. It was made of Celestial bronze plates and if she had to guess its circuitry and gears were to. This would explain Charles comment on better weapon. How did no one see them building this?
"Where did you get this? There's no way you had enough metal to build something like this." the boy chuckled deeply at her scream.
"There were a few notes in our archives about some campers building a metal dragon but it went haywire and disappeared. Peter and I found it in pieces half melted inside a colony of monster bull fire ant. Damn things were huge and a pain to kill." Well that explained it. That idiot was always getting into things like this.
"And you need me to what? climb inside and turn it on?" the boy shook his head at her idea.
"No, we need you to go in it and power it with as much mana as you can. There's a seat in there that connects you to the power core and all you have to do is channel your mana into it. the machinery will do the rest." He seemed to think it over for a moment before continuing, "I suggest you strip or your clothes will get snagged on some of the features."
she blinked at him for a moment. Was he serious or just a pervert? Not that she minded being naked but still.
"I guess I can do that." reaching down she unclipped her bibs before pushing them down her legs with her underwear along the way. Grabbing the hem of her shirt she pulled it up and over hear head making her breast jiggle. She gave her hair a little shake to get it all fixed up. It was freefalling at the moment.
Turning toward the boy she looked at him with her clothes in her hands. He didn’t expect her to leave them on the ground, did he? Gently he took them from her while running his eyes all over her body. More than once they landed on her penis but not once did he react to the sight of it. Gesturing towards the dragon he nodded for her to go.
Putting her hand up inside she lifted herself in and the hatched sealed behind her. There wasn’t much space at all but that was okay. Taking a seat in the chair she noticed that the angle it was pointed at would force her legs off the floor and the only place to put them comfortable would be two pads but her legs would be spread by doing so. Not having much of an option, she sat in the chair and put her feet where they were supposed to go.
Almost instantly the machine came to life but in a way she didn’t expect. Thin metal shackles sealed around her wrists and ankles. She could hear gears turning and something opening. There was a poking feeling at her rosebud and she knew right away that this would be a bumpy ride. It pushed and pushed until her anal ring finally gave in. There was no rest at all; whatever it was just kept sliding in until it was at least buried eight inches in. She couldn’t stop the scream that erupted from her lips. that was a bad idea as another conduit fell from the ceiling and pushed right into her mouth.
She couldn’t breath and the one in her butt was vibrating. It was maddening but she knew it would only last as long as she had mana inside her so she started channeling hers through her body into those two ports.
As soon as she started she wish she hadn’t. The things inside her seemingly latched onto her mana and wouldn’t let go before it started thrusting into her at a jackhammer pace.

It took five hours of constant pounding for the machine to suck all the mana out of her. When the things finally slipped out of her she was caked in drool and cum. her jaw hurt and she could tell that her anal ring was gapping trying to clench onto nothing but open air. Just sitting there she could tell her legs were jello but then again who's wouldn’t?
She was pulled out of her thoughts when the restraint released her before the chair thrusted her body right out of the hatch after it opened. Her body hit the dirt hard. With weak arms, she pushed herself onto her knees before looking about. No one was there and her clothing was still there but there was a note on them.
Persia,
First thing sorry about not telling you about what the dragon would do. Most females leave when we tell them and no sensible guy would go through that. If you are reading this then you were in there much longer than I anticipated and I left for lunch. As you can see your clothing is still here. If you ever wish to power the dragon core again come see me or whoever the councilor is.
Beckendorf.
She blinked at it. Really, he knew that was going to happen! that bastard is a pervert. See if she ever helps them again. Besides she probably powered the damn thing for years. By the time it needs another charge Nico would probably be open to try it.
Not having the mana to use her shadows she was forced to walk back to her boat. Sadly, it was on the other side of camp but the good thing was that lunch was still going on so no one would see her. Grabbing her clothing she got up and started walking; it would take all the energy to get there let alone getting dressed.
When she finally stumbled onto the deck she found a paint covered Nico sitting against the mast. Their eyes met and both blushed which was hard for her to do.
"What the hell happened to you? You look dead tired. Why were you naked in camp?" she winced as he screamed her conditions to the world.
"Nothing happened. But when you’re older ask the Councilors if you can charge the metal dragon. Don’t ask why just do it."
she didn’t listen to his answer. Instead she hobbled up the stairs to her room. Once inside she threw her close to the floor. When she walked over to her bed she fell down face first with her butt still raised slightly and gapping to the world. Silently she felt tears fall down her face.

When Persia walked out of her room she looked like a zombie. She had a slight limp to her step and her intestines hurt. She was dressed in a long T-shirt and a simple pair of purple cotton panties. Nico was already awake and at work while she felt like gum on the bottom of someone’s shoe.
Slowly she eased herself up the stairs. Each step put stars in her eyes and a wince upon her face but she wanted to get up there. When she finally reached the top deck, she let a sigh escape her lips.
Inside she couldn’t help but wondered who the pervert was that created such a way to power a machine. It was obviously made during a time where women were meant to be seen and not heard where their bodies were put to use by those same men. She could see why most men would turn down the job of powering it and why women would run when they learned of what would happen.
That stupid mana converter thing took a massive pounding to her mouth and butt. Anyone that saw her would probably think she had a wild night but it was anything but the truth. Of course, it didn’t help that she liked it when things were in her butt and that just made it harder not to enjoy it while she reached orgasm after orgasm.
She didn’t know what Dionysius would do if he found out but it most likely wouldn’t be good for the Hephestaus cabin. She should send word out to the other girls though so they know what will happen if they get into the damned thing.
She had planned to start varnishing this deck today but now she just wanted to sit up here and try and relax. Maybe she could play her mood of as her time of the month but that would only last for a week tops. Besides there hadn’t been any blood at all during the entire thing, on her bedsheets, or even in the toilet this morning. Guess when her current body took on the limitless portion of being the first human it literally meant it. It also caused a shiver up her spine at the thought of what would happen to her if she was reborn in a world with true monster. Not the stupid ones like in her world either.
She was pulled out of her thoughts when a pair of arms wrapped around her waist before a pair of soft lips pressed into her neck. A happy little smile appeared on her as her despairing thought were washed out of her mind.
"Where were you yesterday? Chiron told me that I missed you and I tried to find you but couldn’t."
What could she say? she didn’t want to lie but she just didn’t want to talk about it either. Would he be mad that she had been practically violated to power a defense for the camp? More than likely he would be conflicted between his job and his feelings.
"I wasn’t feeling well so I went and fell asleep in my room on the ship. Sorry I forgot to tell you I was staying there." she felt like the word lie was written on everything she said but it was kind of true.
Turning around she pressed her face into his chest as she wrapped her arms around him. Through force of will she kept herself from shaking and sobbing. But she clung to him, probably to hard but he didn’t complain.
"Is there anything I can do?" The pure worry in his presence was almost enough to get her to break but she held on like a dying woman.
"I’m okay...just hold me a little." she felt him hug her just a little bit tighter but she was happy for it.
Time moved on slowly from then on. Most of the day they just listened to the campers while in each other’s arms. Nico had come up at one point but as soon as he saw the way they were holding onto each other he turned away and didn’t come back.
The sun was setting when she finally released him, not once did he complain about standing there all day. To her everything was going to be fine, Dionysius was with her and her most family was still alive. Standing on her tippy toes she gently pressed her lips against his. It wasn’t meant to be one to show her desire but her love for him. He kissed back just as lovingly.
Of in the distance neither one of them saw a pair of blue eyes watching with happiness in their eyes.

It’s been a week since that night and Persia had been feeling much better. Dion had been staying with her on the ship every night. So far no one seemed to notice except Nico but he hadn’t questioned either one of them yet. She could only hope he wouldn’t get mad at her for choosing Dionysius of all people. She had known of the boy's small crush on him when he would flush whenever she spoke of him.
For the last few days she had been varnishing the mast. Dion had made a few crude jokes about how good she was at making wood all nice and shiny but never she gave him the satisfaction of an answer besides sticking out her tongue at him, which probably didn’t help at all. So far, she had fixed up the crow’s nest from the rotten boards that had plagued it.
Her painter’s whites had turned into painter’s blacks in this short time but that was okay. Thankfully with her control of water she managed to keep it all off her body and had effectively turned all loose blobs into more on her bibs. She swore more than once that there was more getting on her then the stupid ship but the boys always denied it. Didn’t stop her from growling in frustration.
Today she was working on the doors to the quarters in the bottom side of the ship. Dionysius wanted to stain it the same color as the rest of the ship so it would blend it but she wanted to see it when she's walking to it at night time. In the end, they had decided on a blood red color that was just a smidge lighter. He wasn’t a fan of it really but had relented under her pleas.
Bending down she dipped her brush in her paint bucket and pressed it into the wood. She made long smooth strokes along the hinges trying not to smudge it against the dark frame. her hand was shacking a tiny bit but thanks to all her ballet where she learned grace and her knife twirling she learned control was helping her immensely. She repeated this many times until she had all four sides complete on the outside.
Once they were finished she poured a little into a paint pan and stuck a roller in it before moving to the door. It took a few tries to make sure everything was even but thanks to her powers she dried it faster than normal and found the spots she needed to touch up. Once the outside was done she switched to the inside.
Around an hour later she was walking out with her tools in her hand. Thankfully that was the only door she was painting that particular color. She hadn’t used it all but that was fine, Nico had wanted it for his trim. She didn’t even know he knew what such a thing was.
Walking up to his door she knocked once before opening it. Thankfully he was putting a shirt on and not doing anything else. He had been out practicing his shadow control late last night so she was giving him some slack.
"Do you ever wear anything other than black? I swear your taking this son of Hades business way to seriously." He started picking at his shirt not sure what to do about it.
"I do not. It’s just all that looks good on me." It was true that we kids of shadows looked great in black but not when we are preteens with a pale complexion wearing two sized to big.
Setting her paint down she whipped her hands on her thigh, not even bothered as it crusted over on her skin. Walking up to him she grabbed him by the front of his shirt and dragged him out of his room. He struggled but there was no winning for him.
Pushing in her door she pushed him into the room while calling on the shadows to block the exits and put the rest under her command. She wasn’t going to let him out of here easily. Walking over to her closet she found one of her tank tops and a pair of blue jean capris. She even had some unisex shoes near his size that would suit him. Putting each of them over her arms she thrusted them into his hands before looking at him.
"Strip and put those on." She had a hard gaze and wouldn’t let him look away. The boy needed to get out of those depressing clothes.
He whined, "But these are girl’s clothes! I can’t wear these." He tried to throw them away from him but she forced them back into his arms with the help of the shadows.
"So? They're Unisex and tons of boys your age wear capris, they just have a different name for them." He looked reluctant but not nearly as much as a moment ago. "Look you don’t have to wear them but you can’t stay in those clothes. I will not let you. I may be a nudist but that doesn’t mean I’m going to let you wear those rags you call clothing." she felt a push at the shadows but she pushed back, making him fall from the shock. "And don’t try to run cause we both now I’m better than you at this game."
he looked at the clothes in his arm one last time before sighing. good it seemed he learned fast. In no time, he was dressed again and looking very cute, but in a boy way.
"If you grew your hair out we could put it in a low ponytail, which is a guy hairstyle. It will make you look much better to the other campers and kids at school." He was looking a little lost but nodded anyway. "Now go back to your room and finish it. I'll bring over some clothes that will fit you and when you start growing we can get you some more. We might just be able to get rid of that paleness by the end of this summer."
Once the boy was gone she sighed before looking at his clothes that he left on her floor. They would fit him when he's a few years older, as long as he exercises and eats health he would have the boys chasing him in no time. The jacket would be great for cold dates. Maybe she should mention it to her mama or Dionysius before her time is up? She'd want the best life she can make for him, even if she had to go around his back at first.
Seeing as she was done with that little problem she picked up the dark lump and dumped them on her bed. She would take care of them later tonight.
Heading back out she whipped the sweat off her brow. It must be around 90 degrees. Grabbing the hem of her top she easily stripped it away. One good thing about being a limiter was that her body was always at tip top shape, making it so she couldn’t get sick. So, skin cancer wasn’t a problem. But she was generous with the sunscreen though. Be burnt hurt like the dickens.
with a fresh layer on she went back to work in just her bra and shorts. The sun was making her skin tingle but she easily ignored it.
"hey Persia! what are you doing?" turning her head to see who it was she was a little surprised to see Katie standing at the bottom of the ramp hand in hand with Lucas. both looked like they were on their way to go swimming.
"Oh hey. I’ve just been working on my ship. It’s in some serious need of a fix up." She motioned both to come up and when they were up a minute later. They were wide eyed at the deck. So far, she had gotten the ledges, mast, and all the other little fixtures finished. Today they were going to replace the ropes with a few of 'confiscated' flying shoes from some Hermes kids. They would get them back just not until they were finished.
"Um...Persia? you do know you’re in a bra not a bikini, right?" Katie was trying to be casual about it but the girl was sensitive to things like this. And Lucas didn’t seem to mind.
"I know but I didn’t feel like finding one. Besides I’m usually in less anyway." Both of their heads snapped back at her so fast she swore she heard a crack or two.
"YOU WHAT?" Yeah really sensitive.
"I’m a nudist, and proud of it. I just wear clothing while others around because the boys are too much of an annoyance. Besides I don’t think my Boyfriend would like them ogling me right in front of him." With each one Katie’s face brightened a little more while Lucas' jaw sunk just a little more.
"Boyfriend? I’ve never seen you with any boys."
Wait Katie had been watching her? Then why hadn’t the girl come talk to her more? A small ball of coldness formed in her chest as she thought of the girl but didn’t let it show.
"Yes Boyfriend. You know the thing you started ignoring me for. I don’t care that you did anymore but it hurt that you did. And that goes double you buster." Both paled a little as she growled out her last words but neither reacted more than that.
"Sorry, we just thought you didn’t want to be a third wheel." Lucas muttered in a barely audible voice.
"Better a third wheel than one being tossed out like yesterday’s trash." She looked at them again. both looked hurt but she didn’t really care, "So what do you want? It’s been two or three years since we last spoke; so why now?"
The duo didn’t speak for a while. They seemed unsure of themselves now that they were here and she had asked them about this. Persia couldn’t think of anything more justifiable to make them feeling lost and confused.
"I... I think we should go. Sorry we bothered you." She could see the tears flowing from Katie's eyes as she grabbed Lucas' hand and dragged him down the ramp and into camp. Looked like she had ruined their trip. She felt a little guilty over what she did but she was doing it for their own good.
Hopefully they will be able to forgive her in the end.

Seeing as it was a Monday Persia took the day off from ship repair to spend the day with Thalia. The girl had gotten annoyed with her not spending anytime with her while they were at camp and demanded they go somewhere and do something. So, she decided to go looking for something she should have a year ago.
It was just before dawn when the duo appeared under a tree at the base of Mount Tam. There weren’t many cars around at this time of day, so it was nice and quiet. Focusing her mana sense, she spread her mind over the area. She could feel Kronos up in his fort but she didn’t care for that, she would get him later. Her mind was more focused on the large area full of godly and titan energy. It wasn’t too far away from where she was at, maybe an hour and a half drive with traffic.
Hailing a cab, she told him to drive straight south until she says to stop. the man gave her a quire look before doing as she asked. in the meantime, she wondered what had happened to her old home. It made sense that the gods would find it and use it to their advantage but she was the rightful owner and if she didn’t like what they did she would destroy it.
During the ride, she also continued using her mana sense. She wanted to get better at it to see what would come of mastering the skill. Seeing as water mastery let her be able to control the liquids in the human body and know where they are then the mastery of something else should be pretty nifty as well. Supposedly when she mastered her shadows they would become subconscious and defend her at need.
When they were within a twenty-minute walking distance she asked him to let her out. He was a little nervous at doing so but when she handed him a $100 he easily forgot about her and drove off. She had to wave her hand to get the exhausts fumes out of her nose though.
Turning in the direction she needed to go she walked off and didn’t stop unless she needed to. She only did so twice and that was to get a latte for herself and a milk bone for Thalia which she was happily walking down the road with in her mouth.
