"If you will not choose your companions I will." Chiron said to the boy who glared and it did remind him of a god and a goddess, his mother and the sea god. Even Chiron did not know why the glare reminded him of the Sea god.
"They have not had the training I have with tracking monsters and they will only slow me down, you forget I was trained by the goddess of the hunt herself." Percy said to the old trainer who was at his wits end with the son of Artemis. He did not know what to do with him so he made the decision for him and he would choose for him the boy be damned.
"Mr. Underwood and Miss. Chase you'll accompany Mr. Jackson with his quest whether he likes it or not." Chiron snaps out and Percy just glared at him and huffed and looked at his shocked companions.
"I am going to say this once, I was trained by the goddess of the hunt herself, you will not slow me down." Percy said as he walked off Annabeth Chase did not know what to do. The son of Artemis did not seem to like it here and made his displeasure known to all. Poor Grover having to hear that but she will not slow him down let's see if the son of Artemis can keep up with her.
"He is so lonely." Grover comments and Annabeth couldn't help but to twirl around and stare at the satyr like he had grown another head, lonely? That boy was not lonely as he was just antisocial, he did even want to be at camp not that the Daughter of Athena could understand. She was looking forward to proving herself in her first quest even if she had to share it with the Son of Artemis, Annabeth still thought that the Goddess broke her oath to have Percy much to the Moon Spawn's displeasure and countering it with he was adopted.
"Then why is he here then?" Annabeth asked not understanding why he was here and of course Lady Artemis was to adopt a demigod child then why would she adopt a boy? She hated men so why wouldn't she adopt a girl then? It made sense really since the hunters were all females like their lady anyway.
"I heard he was forced here by Lady Hera and Lord Zeus dropped him off." Grover said who knew that? That the king and queen dropped him off? He should get over it since as a demigod he should be here learning to defend himself. He obviously doesn't want to be here and if she knew Grover like she does then he is going to be trying to reach him and convince him to stay.
"Well he should be grateful then." Annabeth said to the satur who shook his head sometimes being forced to come here is bad that they go looking for trouble just to get away.
"That is not always the case Annabeth. Not everyone had a home life like you, Luke or even Thalia." Grover tried to reason with the Daughter of Athena, the said Demigoddess glared at her friend for being her home life or lack thereof.
"Doesn't matter he should know what's out there for Hera's sake he travels with the hunt! I do not know how he is able to travel with them." Annabeth hissed at the satyr who understood her points but if he was adopted he would have earned the trust of the hunters of Artemis by now or he would have been dead by now.
"Be as that may Annie, we should not lose our cool while trying to convince him to stay with us and be safe." Grover tried the wise old friend act kinda like Chiron or just act like the centaur. She glared at her friend as he was meant to be on her side not his!
"You just like his mother." Annabeth said to the half goat half man hybrid and Grover blushed every satur loved the Goddess of the hunt and moon. Groaning, breaking Grover out of his Artemis filled thoughts looking at his friend and demigod he personally brought into camp even though he failed.
"I wonder what Thalia would think of this situation." Grover wondered out loud making Annabeth stop and look at Grover then to her tree, yes what would Thalia think of this situation?
"Probably to punch someone in the face, or electrocute them." Annabeth said with a chuckle she was not the only one as Grover joined in forgetting her anger and just being happy on being on a quest she could deal with Jackson.
"See I am right she would try to at least be friends with him. Or electrocute him then be friends hmm?" Grover asked the girl who nodded the both sighed both missing the girl Annabeth found an older sister in the girl and Grover found someone who did not care he was half goat. She called him goat boy then they laughed together at a nickname The daughter of Zeus will always be missed by those who knew and were close to her.
"She did not like her mother trust me they wat she spoke about her was beyond anything at seven I would even think about." She commented and Grover agreed with some of the comments that were said by the daughter of Zeus. Why did she have to try and give them more time? She should have gone with them instead of staying and fighting the monsters. Grover was blamed for it even though he was innocent he was still balked for it Luke and herself did not blame him she told him to take them into camp and brought them time to cross the barrier.
"You're not the only one who misses her." Grover said he too missed Thalia with the short amount of time she spent with her, he liked her platonically and she would have been a great friend like Percy could be if he let go of his anger.
