Percy Jackson and the Art of Gacha

"Besides the fact that that is weird as hell and the several questions I have about your guys thought process, I have to say...

That's metal as hell."

The Beastman perked up. "You really think so?"

"Yes I do. But let's get this going, I do have somewhere to be after this."

"Yes let's do this."

And then we just stood there, both staring at each. It was extremely akward.

"So you will have to pick yourself with this needle and bleed onto the throne. Yes, that should do it."

"That's it? No rumble, earthquakes or walls of mist suddenly expanding?"

"Yeah, any and all change will be extremely slow. With exception of one thing."

He pointed to a room behind the throne.

"There should be a portal now. It's supposed to connect us directly to this Home-Dimension of yours. What ever the hell that's supposed to mean."

"Let me guess. The fates or prophecy told you about that?"

"No actually it was some snake called Rudly. There was also one that was named Roasty as well. They made quite a ruckus here."

Huh, so that's what they have been doing. It appears that my snakes have decided to use their vacation or freedom to roam around the world and explore. To be honest I was quite jealous.

" So that means we are done here, right?"

" Yeah, pretty much. You can go back and do your own thing. But please come by and visit. You are still our king so you do have some duties to attend to."

"Sure, I will be back after I have delivered the groups. We'll see each other soon."

And with that I left him.

It took about an hour until I had reached the train.

Once there I fell back into my bed and continued to sleep.

The next day, after we had a good breakfast, we began our travel again.

From one island to the next.

We came across some of the islands mentioned in the odyssey. Some that had been abandoned as well and several sirens.

They didn't have much of an effect on me, as I used my domain of sound to stop their voices from reaching us.

Eventually we finally found Circes Island/Spa.

I parked the train, called out group 3 and brought them to the entrance. I left shortly after, when I had made sure that they were accepted in.

Once back in the train we made our way back to Florida.

From there we continued on with the train towards San Francisco.

It took about two days to reach Sonoma in California. This was were the wolf house was supposed to be, but it was harder to find than expected.

But it did not take as long as I had thought it would, since I could smell the pack of Lupa, as I had already changed back into my smaller Leshen form.

When I brought them to the house, Lipa was already standing there, unmistakingly aware that I smelled like a monster right now.

She gave me a warning growl and in response to her I took a few steps back.

She went up to the girls and Maxwell, sniffing them to check for injuries and possibly checking if they could go to camp already.

She then gave a nod and send them away.

I gave them money so that they could buy some stuffed animals for the auguries without having to steal. They were a bit hesitant but soon they began walking towards camp.

I followed them silently at a distance to look out for them.

It took them a few hours until they reached the service door to the tunnel, or better known as the entrance to New Rome and Camp Jupiter. The guards there soon let them in, but they didn't immediately go, as they first turned around, looking for me.

I moved, indicating my position and then poked my head out of cover.

The they went inside and I knew I wouldn't see them until a few years in the future.

And with that only one group was left.

We got back into the train and traveled further up the coast until we came closer to Seattle.

There I went looking for an Amazon Company building. Once we found one, we entered. Celestial Bronze and Imperial Gold weapons were immediately pointed at me, but instead of flinching back, I just let the girls explain why they were here and why I was with them.

The Amazons were very suspicious at first but most soon lowered their weapons. That didn't mean the let go of them though.

I soon came across a few men in Orange overalls with collars on.

They, after noticing my staring, explained that they were their boyfriends but were wearing those out of their free will. Also apparently not every Amazon's boyfriend worked there, some seemed to have jobs outside, too.

While I was still somewhat uncomfortable with seeing the guys wear collars, I decided to not bother with it and leave as soon as possible.

The Amazon's, unlike what would happen to me in a few years when I would meet them again, didn't lock me in a prison, since none of the girls had told them of my gender nor did I have any specific markers that would make it obvious.

The girls were accepted into the ranks of the Amazons flawlessly and I made my way back to school.

I knew that Mrs. Dodds would come any day now so I had to be there, since she could probably look through my illusions.

It took me three days to travel from Seattle back to Yanzy Academy.

Once I was there, I organized a few things.

First, I made enough Shadow Puppets so that each of them would train a particular skill or domain of mine.

I kept the grinding in the dungeon and the development of my alchemist class so that I had something to do, too.

I obviously wasn't going to waste much time learning things that I already knew so I would either attempt to help Grover learn, something I doubt he needs, since he is actually 27 years old, or just use the free time to play pranks on different teachers and students.

So I designed a little timetable for myself.

During school I would read both of my grimoires, as I had yet to actually Lern everything inside and at night, when grover was asleep, I would grind in the dungeon.
