Michael's eyes slowly readjusted as he blinked away the pain. He looked up, "thanks Percy."
The demigod of the sea smiled, "no problem man. Just don't kill yourself any time soon okay?"
Michael smiled, "okay."
"Now that that's done," Clarisse said as she got up and grabbed her spear that Percy laid down on the side. Electricity poured through the tip as she pointed it at Percy, "it's time for payback asshole."
Percy took a big gulp, "Clarisse I just wanted to find you quickly and that was the best-"
ZAP!
"Shit!" Percy exclaimed as he felt the electricity go through his whole body. His Marble skin was still active so he only lost around 500 defense points but that still hurt.
"Stay still so I can impale you!" Clarisse shouted as she chased Percy around the tunnel much to the amusement of everyone else.
As soon as Michael could walk again the demigods walked out of the tunnel and to the main cave where they found the crew standing there taking turns drawing dicks on Polyphemus' face and body.
"We got company you guys!" Clarisse said as all the demigods quickly readied their weapons for a fight, everyone except Percy and Grover, the former because he knew the crew were on their side the latter because he had no weapons and chose to promptly scream and pretend to faint.
"Relax guys they're with me," Percy said stepping forward, "this is the crew I sailed with to finish my quest."
The demigods glared at the sailors who had finally noticed Percy and the other campers. "You sure they are trustable?" Annabeth asked looking at the sailors.
Percy nodded, "I trust them with my life. Heck they saved my life once."
The demigods nodded and slowly put away their weapons.
"Ah Percy you found your friends I see," Galen commented giving the demigods a big smile, "hello kids, I'm Galen the Quartermaster of The Ascension."
Annabeth raised an eyebrow, that name sounded familiar to her.
"These are the guys you sailed with Percy?" Michael asked with his jaw wide in surprise. Percy smiled and nodded, "so not fair! What the fuck man! I got stuck with racist zombies and you got stuck with what looks like the bloody A-team!"
"Oh shut up," Percy said smiling, "the reason I got the A-team and you got zombies was because I got the tougher quest and I needed the extra help."
"Odysseus!," Annabeth suddenly shouted out drawing everyone's attention to her, "that's your captain right? Odysseus? You called yourself the Quartermaster meaning you must have a captain above you."
Galen smiled, "Aye lass you are right. Judging by your eyes and your sharp brain I would guess you are a daughter of Athena yes?"
Annabeth blushed at the compliment and nodded. Percy smiled when suddenly a thought hit him.
"Shit we forgot about Odysseus!" Percy shouted causing the entire crew to go into panic.
Grover sighed, "it's like you always forget about people Percy. Last year you left me in LA this year you forgot about Odysseus."
"I didn't forget!" Percy yelled out opening his inventory, "I just pushed the memory aside until I needed it again. Okay so where is this fucking golden fleece I have heard so much about?"
"Right here," Marc said as two sailors went on top of Polyphemus and removed the golden fleece bringing it towards Percy.
"That's the golden fleece?" Percy said looking at the stretched piece of cloth. It glowed gold and with a pure golden aura that drew Percy to it.
"It's amazing," Nina said as it drew the attention of everyone present.
"Okay," Percy said drawing everyone's attention, "time to get to work." He slowly reached into his inventory and slowly and carefully pulled out Odysseus. Everyone gathered there looked at the man. The crew members could see their captain still breathing but just barely. The spike was still partially inside him, Percy gripped the end and pulled it out.
"AHH!" Odysseus roared out in pain as he blinked his eyes open, "w-what-"
"Shh, don't talk," Percy said as he grabbed the fleece and wrapped Odysseus up in the golden cloth. Slowly color came back to his face as the fleece glowed brighter and brighter. Percy used his observation skill on the fleece;
Golden Fleece;
This enchanted piece of cloth has the ability to heal any living being be it monster, man or plant. Even if the being is on the verge of death the fleece can bring them back to perfect health, destroying anything that causes the being to not be in perfect health.
Percy was beyond amazed at the power of the fleece, it could bring back anyone from the brink of death. Percy looked at Odysseus and found that the man was no longer poisoned; Janai'ngo's venom had been flushed out. The Greek Hero's health was being regenerated at a rate of 5% per minute.
'Maybe….' Percy thought out as he opened his inventory and pulled out the loot item he got before, the power mimicker;
Power Mimicker,
It has the ability to copy a certain skill possessed from any being or object and give the user the same ability.
Note: This will only grant the skill, not the proficiency of the skill. Meaning all skills gained through this object will start at '1'
'Well it does say skill from objects as well,' Percy thought out.
"Ah Percy what is that?" Michael asked pointing to the small golden ball.
"Just an experiment," Percy replied as he pressed the small walnut sized object up against the Golden Fleece. The ball glowed brighter and then;
Ping!
The power of 'Healing' has been granted to the Power Mimicker! Are you sure this is what you want?
YES/NO
Percy pressed yes without hesitation and the small golden ball disappeared into dust which then floated over to Percy's body fusing with him;
Ping!
You have gained a new skill!
Healing, Lv- 1 (0%)
Allows the user to heal any disease or ailments affecting himself or others.
Limit- 1 ailment per use.
Cost- 500 MP
"Wow," Percy said reading his new skill. It was stronger and better than the healing runes he always used, plus it was not that costly.
"Percy what happened? What was that thing?" Annabeth asked worried.
"It's nothing," Percy waved it off closing the skill box, "the small ball was supposed to help in healing, I just wanted to use it on Odysseus.
"But it went into you."
Percy nodded, "yeah it kind of backfired there."
Lie successful!
Annabeth looked suspicious but accepted the explanation. "Percy why exactly was Odysseus injured?" Michael asked.
"Oh, it's kind of a long story. Let's talk over there" Percy said as he got up and walked away from Odysseus allowing the sailors to gather around their captain, waiting for him to be fully healed. Percy and the other demigods, plus Grover, walked away from the group giving them some personal space.
"So what happened?" Annabeth asked they all sat around in a circle.
