Percy kept using Observe all day and doing his best in all of his classes he did eventually get some INT and WIS

Olympus

"The boy must take after his mother." Athena said. "A smart little thing. Asking about a school and pointing out the flaws of not having one. I've been making this argument for years but none of you have ever listened to me."

"Just say that you like my son and get it over with." Poseidon sighed to her though he was smiling a bit. "I'm shocked he asked after a school myself. He hates school."

"He just hasn't been to a school that's dedicated to helping children like him." Athena scoffed. "The children who took classes today all responded well to them and the way they were taught."

Hermes was silent he had a smaller screen in front of him and was watching his cabin and children but mostly Luke there was something going on with that boy he just couldn't figure out what it was and he had a feeling that he needed to. Had he not paid enough attention to him? Maybe that was the problem he needed to pay attention to his children but how? He didn't know how to interact with them and Zeus had made the Law of Non-Involvement. It's not like he didn't want to care about his children but he couldn't get around Zeus' law he had tried in the past. He was very glad that Percy Jackson was helping his cabin first they needed help what with everyone who wasn't claimed sleeping in there.

Hermes wants help!

"Aren't I already helping Hermes?" Percy yawned as he fell into bed. He'd just finished talking to his mother so he made his phone a screen and brought up Olympus. He clicked on Hermes' throne because it had a green "!" over it.

I want to pay more attention to my children.

Quest:

Choose a Child of Hermes you think is in most need of his attention and find out something they want.

Reward:

?

"Something tells me the Big Man isn't going to be too pleased with this quest." Percy yawned. "i'll start tomorrow."

Hermes had labeled the Quest a secret quest hoping that Zeus wouldn't find out but what he didn't know was as King of Olympus Zeus would be alerted every time one of them contacted their children or tried to get involved with their children.

Zeus was not pleased with the quest Percy had just recieved. Everyone had turned in for the night so he was probably the only one still tuned in though Poseidon was probably still looking in on the boy as well he seemed quite taken with this child. He wondered if he should punish Hermes or the God's children for this but decided to wait and see how it played and what Percy Jackson would do.

Percy was sore but well rested come morning. He stretched as soon as he left his cabin that morning and hissed when his back popped. He grinned brightly when he saw Annabeth and rushed to her side instantly without thinking about it. He heard her siblings giggle or laugh quietly again but didn't care. On the way to breakfast they stopped by Hermes cabin to see the floor. They were let inside. Percy walked around staring at floor frowning he stomped in a few places and found weak spots. He then nodded and returned to Luke.

"Level 5 isn't much safer then level 1." He reported. "I found a few spots where campers can still fall through."

Annabeth was already instructing campers to move their pallets so they weren't sleeping on the weak spots only two had to be move one being the young girl who did not look pleased.

"We've got the money together." Luke informed as he did a count of his cabin and they headed up to the Pavilion. "But we need more time for the materials. Give us until mail arrives. We'll have at least some of what we need by then."

Percy and Annabeth exchanged looks but didn't ask questions.

Percy caught sight of the young girl's name.

Megara Riven

Age: 9

Level: 15

Daughter of ?

"Megara?" Percy though out loud.

"What?!" the girl snapped.

"Wasn't that the name of Hercules' first wife?" Percy asked Annabeth.

"Very good, Percy." Chiron laughed he was behind them in line. "But I fail to see your point."

"Megara you wouldn't happen to be super strong would you?" Percy wondered.

The girl stared at him and put her fist through the staff table. She blinked at him.

"I can't get a read on who your parent is but I'm right in thinking its your father arent I?" Percy continued. Megara nodded up at him.

"You're thinking Meg might be a Daughter of Hercules?" Annabeth frowned, nodding. "Well, there's one way to test it. Say it outloud."

"Like announce it?"

"No just say it."

"Megara, I think you might be a Daughter of Hercules." Percy told her.

Suddenly, she was claimed.

Percy turned to the hall and turned Meg with him.

"Megara Daughter of Hercules!" He announced.

There was clapping and even whistles at his declaration. Megara dumped two whole plates of food in the fire then skipped to Hermes table.

"So I can do that too?" Percy thought. "Follow a few clues and make a guess."

"That was a logical guess based of the small amount of information you picked up in class." Chiron pointed out. "That was very well done."

"I helped someone else I'm really happy about that." Percy informed them.

Olympus

"He truly must take after his mother." Athena cooed happily. "5 INT for you, little seahorse."

Poseidon was amused by Athena's antics.

The doors to the throne room opened and Hercules came in passing out swords.

"I have Daughter!" He declared happily. "She's so cute too!"

and just like that he was gone again.

"The little imp is bringing happiness to more than just the unclaimed children it would seem." Ares said, looking the weapon over. It was good quality you didn't see many like this these days unless Hephaestus made them himself.

Zeus tried to hide his amusement and heartache. He wouldn't hate Poseidon's son so much if he could only have his daughter back. He had loved that girl and did his best to help her without breaking his own law. Like turning her into a tree when she was about to die. The glare Hera gave him told him she was probably guessing his thoughts.

Athena is pleased with you, +5 INT

'Athena seems to like me at least a little.' Percy thought as he went to sit with Annabeth for their class.

"Annabeth our parents hate each other right?" He asked, "I think I remember that. My dad and your mom?"

"That's right." Annabeth said, "Why?"

"I think your mom may like me a bit." Annabeth gave him a confused look.

"It's hard to explain but I'll try later."

With that they started their daily lessons.

It was lunch when Luke found them and Percy remembered his quest for Hermes. Luke took them to Hermes cabin and showed them all the materials that were set in the back.

"I don't think it's enough to fix the floor fully but it make good headway." Luke said, "We'll need a few more days to get the rest."

"That's fine." Percy said, checking is tablet. "This'll take the floor to 50 and it'll take three days to finish."

Luke gave a stiff nod and watched the materials vanish instantly construction started on the floor of Hermes cabin. Luke had been smart enough to have everyone pack up and set up in the woods though they were here to watch Percy activate the repairs.

"Hey, Annabeth who in Hermes cabin has been here the longest?" Percy wondered.

"That would be Luke." Annabeth said as they headed to the strawberry fields on their way to the Pavillion. "Why?"

Percy had thought so just the way the guy acted. Now he had to figure out how Hermes could help him.

Annabeth frowned Percy had told her everything about his power so far. They were already great friends so why wasn't he telling her about this? A light bulb went off in her head. Maybe he couldn't because it was a quest from Hermes. Did Hermes want to help his children.

"You know everyone here would love to go out into the world and not have to worry about the monsters being attracted to them." Annabeth said, off handedly. "Well, everyone outside of Ares cabin. They just want to get out there and prove themselves the Children of Ares. But Luke is different he's a pacifist he doesn't like fighting. I met up with him and another girl on my way here when I was seven we protected each other but Luke really hated fighting. He did for me and Thalia but we could both tell that it hurt him and broke something inside of him. All this training breaks him. We aren't given a choice are we? We come here and we're trained. That's all there is to it."

Percy thought her words over carefully he didn't like fighting either but if Annabeth or his mother or Grover were in trouble he would fight. But she was right they should get a choice.

Would you like to send this information to Hermes?

Percy chose yes.

Olympus

Hermes was annoyed that hadn't been what he'd wanted to know but it was useful none the less. He decided he should award the brat he sent the gift he'd prepared the night before and sat back wondering how he could use this information to help his children.
