Stacey Pendragon-daughter of the sea

Chapter eighteen

PERCY POV

I kept on staring at Stacey, who was calmly twirling her golden laurel wreath in her hand. "You mean Zeus knew that Poseidon had broken the oath and you were born?" I asked her. "I'm not sure. But it sounded like that. He told me to ask Chiron or Mr D for details" she told me. "And you're telling me this now?" I asked incredulously. "I had to think over it. Something about Chiron's reaction when he saw me..." She trailed off. "When are you going to ask him?" I asked her. "Now. You coming?" She stood up. I was about to refuse, but the look in her eyes made me change my mind. "Sure" I said and we went out to the Big House.

I saw Mr D and Chiron playing pinochle as usual in the porch. "Pedro Jefferson and Sistine Pablo" Mr D lazily drawled when he saw us. "Its not Sistine, its Stacey" Stacey corrected. "Whatever, Sabrina" he waved his hand. "Its Stacey" she said again, her teeth clenched. "I know, Samantha" he replied and added a card to his stack. "What ever you say, Demeter" Stacey replied with a wicked gleam in her eyes. Mr D choked on his Coke. "What?" He asked her. "What did you just call me?". "Demeter. That is your name, right?" Stacey asked innocently. I chocked back my laughter. "It is Dionysus" Mr D said. "Anything, Daedalus" she replied, mimicking his hand wave. "Umm, child. You must have come here for a reason, right?" Chiron asked her, avoiding Mr D from turning her into a dolphin.

"Yesterday, Poseidon mentioned a promise made to Zeus about not letting me step into camp. What is the story behind it?" Stacey asked him. Mr D and Chiron exchanged a look and then Chiron said, "You both need to come in" he said. We followed him into his office where Mr D and Chiron situated themselves on two chairs and beckoned us to sit down. "OK, so, Deimos?" She asked Mr D just to piss him off, and she was doing a very good job. His face had turned from purple to red to white in a couple of seconds. "It is Dionysus. Mr D to you, Stacey Pendragon" he said. What!? He called her by her actual name? Looks like he doesn't like to be called by another name. I allowed myself a sly smirk. "What is it, Perry? Why are you smiling?" Mr D asked me irritably. "Nothing, Daemon" I replied. "If this continues, I swear I will change the both of you into dolphins and send you back to your father" he said. "What is going on? Why is Zeus angry about me coming to camp?" Stacey asked Chiron. "Did he know that Poseidon broke his oath by siring me?". " In fact, yes" Mr D replied. "How?"

"The gods knew about your birth. They thought you were the only demigod to be born by the breaking of the oath. That was, until Thalia arrived. But till then, you were the only known child of the Big Three" Chiron explained. "How? I mean,..." Stacey asked, shocked. I myself couldn't believe it. "I thought you were going to be the child of the prophecy of the Titan war. But then Thalia arrived. She got turned into a tree and then Percy came. Zeus was quiet wild when he came know that Old Barnacle-Beard broke the oath twice. You are a very powerful demigod as you are also a sorceress. You could be a very useful and dangerous tool for us as well as our enemies. So Zeus had to make sure you never stepped into camp. Well, that didn't last for long" Mr D said and thunder rumbled outside. "See, he is very angry. Very little hope he will let you alive. He would have finished you off long ago if not for the curse" Mr D mused. "Curse?" Both Stacey and me said at the same time. Mr D slapped his head while Chiron gave him reproachful looks. "Is it something to do with Titania? And why don't I know I am cursed?" Stacey asked. "This child, you will know tomorrow if the gods are willing to tell you" Chiron said. "You can't be serious. I have to know my curse" Stacey said. "We can't" Chiron replied."But..." She started but Mr D intervened. He held up his hand and said, "It is not safe for you to know what is in store for you. The lesser you know, the better". " Fine, then I'll find out for myself" and saying that she stormed out of the room. "What is her curse?" I asked. "We didn't tell her itself, why will we tell you?" Mr D said and walked out. "Is it a dangerous curse?" I asked Chiron.

"The worst that can be" he replied, grimly. "What connection has she got with Titania?" I asked Chiron. "A connection of fates and souls" he replied. "What?"

"You will understand, Percy" Chiron said, and walked out.



STACEY POV

I walked to the Athena cabin, fuming. Great, huh? I'm cursed and nobody even tells me about it. I rapped the door and Annabeth opened it, looking slightly shocked to see me there. "Hi Stacey. You looking for Sam?" She asked me. "No. I wanted to ask you something" I replied. "Sure, come in" she said and held the door open. I walked in. It was a huge cabin with grey walls lined with bookshelves and projectors. The beds were pushed towards the walls and there was a huge table in the middle of the room, scattered with blueprints. "What happened?" She asked me. "Do you have a library here?" I asked her. "Yeah, but why?" She asked me, slightly suspicious. "I wanted to do some research" I replied. "Sure, come with me" she said and walked to one of the bookshelves and pulled out a book from it.

The complete shelf shifted to reveal a room behind it. My eyebrows widened in surprise. "Nice" I commented. "Thanks" Annabeth replied and walked into it. I followed her in and my eyes almost popped out. It was booklovers dream. There were high shelves till the ceiling stacked with books and a few tables scattered here and there. "All yours" Annabeth said and walked out. I walked to a shelf and pulled out a few books and settled down to read.




I threw aside the third book I was reading and opened another one with a yawn. I had been here for the past several hours but did not even get a reference to Titania. Sure, Zeus had ordered no accounts of her, but there had to be at least, at least one book here somewhere. No such luck. I got up and walked out of the huge library when I ran into Sam. "Where were you all this time?" She asked. 'Library" I yawned and pushed past her to go and get some sleep in my cabin. "Why?" She asked me. "Research" I replied and kept on walking to cabin three. "For what?". " Sam, I'm really tired. I have to go to Olympus tomorrow. Let's talk later, huh?" I said. "Alright, but you owe me an explanation" she said and walked away. I felt bad behaving like that, but I was really sleepy. I managed to reach the cabin and then I realized I had even missed dinner. Aargh!

I opened my cupboard and took out a Mars Bar and a Coke and dined on it. I was half way through my dinner when Percy stormed into the cabin. "Where were you? I was searching for you everywhere!" He burst out. "Chill. I was in the Athena cabin trying to find out about my curse. That's it" I replied. He relaxed and went over to his bee. I laid down on my bed when Percy said, "I asked Chiron about your curse".

I quickly shot up. " Did he tell you anything?" I asked. "No. But he mentioned a connection of fates and souls between Titania and you" he answered. I laid back on my bed and closed my eyes. I had to sleep or else I was going to be a real grouch in front of the gods tomorrow. And that is something I didn't want.




"Whoa!"

My mouth was hanging open. I was standing in Olympus. And it was beautiful. No, understatement. It was magestic. I couldn't find any words to describe it. I took a step forward when a man in a jogging outfit came over to me. "Are you Stacey Pendragon?" He asked me. I nodded, still speechless. "Hi, I'm Hermes. God of thieves, roads, messenger of the gods. This way please" he said and guided me to the hall of the gods. It was gigantic. "Good luck, Pendragon" he whispered to me and opened the doors.

I took a deep breath and walked in.
