Chapter 8

Percy glared at Tsuna.

How dare he not get out of the way?

He doubted he and his friends could take on a fully armed monster army! As if they even knew it was a monster army, after all.

Yes, he was rather surprised that Tsuna wanted to take on a fight. At school, he usually slumped in a corner or was beaten up by a couple bullies. And Percy

often saved him from them.

But now was a life-and-death situation, for Tsuna at least. Chiron had received a little heads-up warning from Ares, telling them the next place where Eris

would strike, and the details sounded horrific. He, Annabeth, and Tyson went.

He took out Riptide, but didn't uncap it. He didn't know what the men wanted, and he really didn't want to startle Tsuna that much. No matter how he hid it,

Tsuna was a coward for these things.

"So, Persus Jackson." He man walked up to him, and gave him full eye contact. "You have accomplished... many things. But I asked you; do you think this

world is corrupted?"

Percy raised an eyebrow. "Corrupted even more because of you guys."

"Silence!" The man answered, slapping Percy on the cheek. Tyson stepped forward, but Percy waved him down.

"And you, Tsunayoshi?" The man turned to Tsuna.

"Since you guys killed that taxi with three old ladies in it... i suppose."

tensed. "Wait, Percy!" Percy turned to her. "Didn't... you say something about the Gray Sisters coming to camp... because their taxi was

destroyed?"

That dawned on Percy. "Tsuna..." He was about to ask, when the man interrupted him.

The man looked at them both. "Listen. I know you think, well, at least Percy thinks, that we are a horrible specimen. We spread discord! Chaos! But that's

not the problem are trying to renew the world out of it's darkness. If you didn't notice, only the powerful and righteous people can escape out of our

discord."

Tsuna snorted. "Yeah, right."

"That is our motive. Now, we have to ask this. Would you rather see... " The man waved his hand, and an Iris message stirred out of his palm.

The image was startling. Percy stared. Camp Half-blood... it wasn't destroyed. However, all his friends- everyone- were fighting amongst themselves. Blood

splattered all over the mess hall. Even the peaceful nyphms were whacking each other thick their baskets.

Tsuna gasped. "Don't you dare hurt my family!"

Family? Percy wondered. This was obviously a vision of Camp Half-blood.

"Or this." The image flicked, and turned into a peaceful image. Men were sitting calmly in a place that slightly resembled the Isle of the Blest. Everyone- no,

everything- was peaceful.

"But why would Eris do that?" Percy said, eyes narrowing.

"Do you not understand? It's not that Eris likes being the Discord goddess. It was obviously forced upon her by her Lord Zeus. Now that civilization is getting

worse and worse, Eris has to meddle in more and more in order to keep up the standards. It's too tiring for her. And if she fails... the whole world WILL be

infected by discord. If you don't understand why- look at Pam. When he was truly alive, the wild reigned. As humans pressed in on his territory, he started to

fade, because the pressure was too big. He only lasted so long because satyrs and other nature lovers preserved his kingdom. However, when he died, he

can no longer do anything to help. Even as satyrs ruthlessly try to preserve the wild, they will not last long."

Tsuna held up his hand. "Wait, what are you talking about? 'goddess'? 'satyrs'?"

Percy noticed Gokudera looking terribly uncomfortable,and suddenly, something struck him.

"I'm sure Gokudera can tell you." He said, locking eyes with Annabeth. He saw in her eyes that she had realized it too.

Gokudera had attended Camp Half-blood, years ago. He didn't return for some years but...

Gokudera was a demigod.
