Previously

And before the minotaur could once again attempt to hit the son of the sea and kill him, the blurred spot that was killing the monsters moved so fast that it reached the minotaur, turning out to be a man who hit the monster with his fist, but at the moment of impact a powerful electric explosion was unleashed, killing the monster on the spot.

Percy, being the one who was basically next to the man, although his ears were ringing and feeling like a few moments ago when Thalía threw a lightning bolt at him, but worse despite not being the target of the electric explosion, and he was able to observe the man who saved him

However, seeing the same sea-green eyes when the man turned to look at him and the same face he had seen before in a specific god, the son of Sally Jackson could only think of one thing, which he said out loud: "Dad?"

—|—|—|—|—|—|—|—|—|—

"..." The man said nothing at Percy's words, but his gaze changed to an exasperated one before he said, "Why am I not surprised?" then he looked at Percy again ""I'm not our father," although he said it expressionlessly, his voice seemed to be charged with subtle energy and power for Chiron who heard his words, and the centaur had no doubt that if some of the satyrs and/or nymphs could hear him, they must have had the same feeling.

But those simple words caused Chiron, Percy, and anyone else who was close enough like Thalia or who had good hearing, to look at him in surprise, realizing that this stranger was a son of Poseidon.

A stranger who was also tall and dressed in what looked like a dirty brown aviator jacket, but not one of ancient appearance but of a modern style, however, those with a better sense of smell like satyrs could feel a faint feline scent on the jacket.

They also noticed that despite how dirty the jacket looked it seemed to be in perfect condition, unlike the rest of his clothes, because the man was barefoot and his pants seemed to have been burned down to below his knees, not to mention some rips or cuts that reached mid-thigh.

His legs looked strong and ready if he had to move quickly, and they were covered by some kind of greaves that at first many thought were made of celestial bronze, but then they realized that it was a dark golden color. Not to mention, the only thing left of the minotaur he just killed, was the large axe embedded in Percy's winged ground.

Fortunately not everyone stared at the unknown son of Poseidon, several continued to shoot at the monsters that remained, although they had enough brains to take the large shields and take cover before the demigods managed to eliminate them all, so a small group of monsters grouped together.

But soon Chiron, along with the others who focused on the children of the sea, reacted to what was happening at that moment and refocused on the monsters

—|—|—|—|—|—|—|—|—|—|—

"Put this on, it will protect you" said the older demigod as he took off his jacket and Percy rose from the ground, only for the young son of the sea to see that the other was extending his arm for him to take the jacket "Now" The adult spoke again in a more serious tone of voice, while he kept the Doors of Death visible out of the corner of his eye.

Percy grabbed the jacket while he had many questions in his head about this half-brother that he had not met until now, but Jackson was also observing his appearance, seeing that leaving out the great resemblance to Poseidon or himself, he seemed to be a man about 27 or 28 years old, wearing a worn green t-shirt and somewhat burned.

He also had arm armbands that started at the wrist and almost reached the elbow, as if they were arm guards that campers wear in training or Capture the Flag game, which were the same color as the greaves on their legs and which like the greaves appeared to have small latches, as well as some small, subtle discs on the sides.

(Note 1) Besides, there was the fact that he was at least a foot taller than the 14-year-old, maybe two heads at most, and Percy could also notice some subtle scars that were discolored on his arms above his elbow, hands, and face, while he put on the jacket that the older man told him to wear. Although the boy had questions in his mind about how exactly the jacket can protect him, only to think that it must be magical. And the black haired man also had some rings on his hands, some are the same dark gold color, others in some silver tone and only one was totally black. (Note 2)

"We were really lucky the first time... And almost all the gods don't realize how lucky they are..." the adult demigod with sea green eyes said quietly with some annoyance as he looked at both the campers and the hunters after lingering for a second or two on the younger one as this took the jacket from his hand, but his comment was made after analyzing the state in which the campers and hunters were, noting the number of wounded, the way they fight and eliminate the monsters that remain, which although there are few left, are better organized than the majority.

"What?" asked young Percy, confused by what his apparent older brother said

But the boy got no answer as the older one said without taking his eyes off the battlefield "You need to seriously train your skills in combat, not only rely on the use of the sword, especially when you are only comfortable with one that carries the essence of the ocean inside, you must also improve your skills on the powers and abilities you inherited from Poseidon."

Percy felt somewhat annoyed by what he heard as it seemed to him a criticism and the man never turned to look at him while he said that, but the teenage demigod didn't say anything because he also saw that small projectiles of water were forming in the air, which shot at high speed at the monsters or what some of them threw at the demigods, saving some campers

"Who are you?" before Percy said anything else, Thalía had approached to ask the only adult demigod in the place, but also looking at the battlefield, seeing that the fight seemed to be about to end

"You need to get better too, Thalía," the man didn't answer the question, but gave a similar 'criticism'

"What did you say?" asked the girl with electric blue eyes with annoyance in her voice

"To improve your powers with water and other skills, ask for advice from Rhodes, Bentesicime, Kymopoleia, Herophila and Despena, although I may have to bribe them first with some offerings, especially to Kym and Des." Grace was ignored, but Percy could see some sparks coming out of her hands as his cousin glared at the black-haired man, although both noted the familiarity with which the older demigod spoke at the end about who he mentioned.

"Who are they?" asked Sally Jackson's son, which almost makes the other close his eyes and sigh at the sky in resignation.

"He's a teenager... Remember how you were" the two teenagers and children of two of the big three, were confused by the second part said by the man, as well as somewhat offended and outraged by all the words

"You also need to study about the myths and legends of the world, especially the Greco-Roman ones," The man began to say at the same time as he raised an arm and moved it slightly while firing a few bolts at the monsters when changing targets.

The lightning bolts launched took the half-bloods and huntresses by surprise for a moment as well, even though some of them saw the electric explosion when he hit the Minotaur with his fist earlier, but helping them further reduce the number of monsters left in front of the Doors of Death trapped in the now huge block of ice.

"Answering your question, they are your sisters, Despena is the daughter of Dad and Demeter, the others are his daughters with his wife Amphitrite, in addition to Triton, although some mortals confuse Phila and Rod as Aphrodite's daughters, but don't think of mentioning it in front of them or their mother"

Now Percy had many more questions, because he did not know about the existence of these sisters, although he should not be surprised considering his father's reputation, but before the teenager could say anything more the adult continued talking while he continued to throw some lightning bolts and more projectiles from the water he gathered in the air

"And as for studying, just look for books in modern Greek or modern Latin so that you don't have to suffer your mind changing words, at least for now until your mind continues to adapt and you can read the Neo-Latin languages."

Neither Percy nor Thalia understood what the elder demigod with Neo-Latin languages meant, but to hear that they did not have to endure the headaches, nor the discomfort caused by the 'dyslexia' they had as children of the gods if they read in modern Greek or modern Latin, was great news for both adolescent demigods despite the situation, because they were relaxing while the fighting was coming to an end.

Or at least that's what they both thought, until the adult noticed something on the ice and said, "Get ready, the fight is not over, maybe it is just beginning"

"What?/What are you talking about?" asked the teenagers who looked in the same direction and shortly after noticing that inside the block of ice there was a glow that was growing inside the ice.

"Hestia, Dionisio, this fight is about to get worse and I know you are in the camp, so I ask you to help the campers. They are children of the gods, your nephews, great-nephews and more, Hestia, they are the children of YOUR family, at least protect them. And Dionysus... if you help them, I'll offer three bottles of Domaine Leroy as an offering, is that a deal?"

To anyone it would have seemed that the man with the sea-green eyes that Percy, Thalía and the others did not know was talking to himself, but for anyone who was involved in the divine world or at least in the supernatural, they would realize that it was a kind of prayer, only by the tone of his voice it was more of a mixture between an order and a negotiation with the gods.

So both teenagers looked at him in surprise, although they tried to remember who Hestia is, although the name was very familiar to them.

But to the great surprise of both demigods, the rest of the camp members and the huntresses, it seemed that Dionysus responded first because several vine climbers came out of the ground where the monsters were to wrap their bodies and restrict their movements, though it did not last long because the glow within the ice quickly grew into a great glow that lasted shortly before an explosion occurred within the large block of ice that hurled pieces of it towards the members of Camp Half Blood and the huntresses.

Fortunately for them a sort of air barrier had been formed by the only adult demigod in the place, preventing them from turning into pincushions.

"… Get ready" the man said to the two teenagers before adding We have to destroy the chains so that the doors disappear, don't do it alone, let them cover their backs, and only do it when I manage to get him away" said the black-haired adult, as he felt the two gods he mentioned before appear behind them, at the same time as he saw, as well as he could feel that a large amount of steam covered the area where the ice used to be and what was left of it melted rapidly

"To drive away whom?" Dionysus' voice surprised the teenagers who had not noticed the appearance of the god, nor of the goddess in the form of a young girl next to him, whom Percy recognized as the girl he saw on the first day in the camp by the campfire

But the answer to the question of the god of wine came when a being came out of the steam that looked like a kind of giant made of fire because of its 3 meters in height, or that he was covered by fire if the soft silhouette of ancient Greek armor and the features of a bearded face in the fire meant anything, as more monsters came out of the Doors of Death behind him.

"No..." said the two gods, Dionysus with a choked voice and Hestia in a whisper as she recognized the being covered with fire, while their faces turned pale

"Do it, while I fight Hyperion and keep him away from the chains" said the oldest sea-green eyes demigod, being the only one who was not surprised to see the Titan...

Note #1

In Athena's mark, Jason is supposed to be about 6 feet tall, and Percy, who is not yet 17 years old, is an inch or two shorter, which puts the minimum height of the son of Poseidon at 1.75 m or 5 feet 9 inches, and the maximum at 1.80 meters or 5 feet 11 inches. While 16-year-old Frank Zhang, thanks to the blessing of Mars, grew to 6 feet with 3 inches or 1,905 m

I'm making the adult version of Percy reach Frank's height, the 1.90m / 6'3

And before anyone says anything about the adult Percy Jackson being very tall, the Wonder Woman character of the DC universe, has a height that varies from 5'8'' in older comics to 6'2 in the most recent ones, while Batman (a human) in the comics is usually 5'11 to 6'3, and Superman is 6' to 6'4.

While the height of the character Kratos from the God of War video games varies from 6'4'' in the Norse era to 7'6 in the Greek era

Note #2

The Titan's Curse, set in December 2007, is supposed to occur between December 14 and 21, with Percy being 14 years and 4 months old, so he is much shorter than the 1.75-1.80 m (5'9'' — 5'11'') of Athena's mark. Also, in the Mark of Athena, Annabeth says that Percy grew a few inches (more than two) since Hera kidnapped him in December 2009.

And this fic is set two years before the kidnapping of Poseidon's son, when young Percy is in his mid-teens, so he is much shorter compared to his height in Athena's mark.

Percy must be approximately 1.50 meters tall (5 feets), which is why his adult version is at least one foot taller and maximum two heads taller than him, as an adult male's head is supposed to average to be about 27-28 cm tall (11 inches). That of a 14-15 year old teenager is smaller.... like... 21-23 cm (8-9 inches)
