Percy quickly placed an order for 10 big macs, 2 large cokes and 4 fries, to go. The man behind the counter looked strangely at Percy, but gave him his food anyway thinking it was for a group of people and not just Percy alone.
Percy then quickly left the restaurant and went to the local park to eat. Just as he had opened his first burger to eat something happened. A feeling washed over him, the scent of pine and lilacs filled the air as a voice rumbled out;
"Go to the forest Perseus, you are needed."
Percy blinked, the voice sounded old, older than any normal mortal, it sounded so full of life and powerful. It had stopped but it was replaced by pull Percy felt directing him towards the woods outside of town.
Percy put away his food and ran towards where the feeling had directed him.
You have entered a forest!
+5 to all stats!
"Let go of me!" A voice cried out from deeper inside the woods.
'Somebody needs my help,' Percy thought as slowly the feeling that guided him so far slipped away leaving him confused as to where to go. But just then;
"Get off!"
'There!' Percy ran in the general direction of the shout and went deeper into the woods. Soon he came upon a pair of boys were ganging up on another kid and beating the shit out of him. They didn't look like they were more than 12 and the kid they were picking on was 10.
Percy sighed and quickly grabbed the two boys by the collar and threw them aside, "enough."
The bigger boy, Justin, quickly got up, "who the hell are you?!"
Percy narrowed his eyes, "someone you don't want to mess with kid."
"You don't look that tough!" Justin growled out, "get him!" He cried out as his friend and him charged Percy with their fists flying.
Percy sighed and let them hit him. They punched him across the face and hit him in the gut, but nothing they did even phased Percy.
Defence- 123, 979
Percy raised an eyebrow, they had managed to collectively cause him 1 single point of damage.
Soon Justin and his friend fell to the ground panting, their knuckles were bloody and they were exhausted.
"What the hell are you!?" Justin asked as he and his friend slowly backed away holding their fists in pain.
Percy smiled a cruel smile, "I'm a demon."
With just that tiny use of blood lust Percy managed to scare off both kids making them run away screaming. Percy sighed and turned around to the little 10 year old, the kid had a bruised face and cut lip, but he looked up to Percy with amazement in his eyes.
"You okay kid?" Percy asked helping the kid up..
"I-I'm fine," the kid saying as he patted himself down, "t-thanks. My cousins don't exactly know how to hold back."
Percy raised his eyebrows in surprise, "your cousins did this to you?"
The boy nodded, "yeah, they don't really like me."
Percy then noticed the boy's name and title;
Percy Decker, Son of Pan
Lv- 2
Percy's eyes shot open in surprise, 'Pan?! As in the missing God Pan?! This kid is Pan's son?! And his name is Percy too?!' Percy scrutinized the kid and looked at him closely, his jawline was very narrowed, kind of like Grover's. His hair was brown like dirt and over all he seemed very normal looking. But the moment Percy looked at the kid's sky blue eyes, he knew he was a demigod.
"Kid….where's your dad?" Percy asked wondering whether the kid would have any clue as to where Pan was.
"I-I don't know," he looked down in shame, "He wasn't really around when..."
"Okay," Percy said, the kid looked depressed just talking about his dad, Percy didn't want him to feel worse by interrogating him. "Tell me where's your mom?"
"She died," he again looked sad beyond belief, "I live with my aunt and uncle now."
"I see..." Percy said before going into deep thought, 'okay what do I do now? He's a demigod, I have to bring him to camp or else he might end up monster food. And what's more he's Pan's kid, the Satyrs will treat him like a king, plus if I bring him in Grover just might forgive me for leaving him.'
PErcy turned to...eh, Percy, "hey kid, what's your name?" He asked, he knew the name already but he didn't want to freak the kid out by telling him he knew his name before he even introduced himself.
"P-Percy, my name if Percy Decker."
The son of Poseidon smiled widely, "no way! My name is Percy too!"
"Really?!" The kid asked in amazement, "that's so cool!"
"Percys for the win!" Percy said giving the little kid a high five.
"Thanks for saving my life big Percy!"
"No problem little Percy," the son of Poseidon smiled, 'the kid's alright.' Just then little Percy's stomach started to grumble in hunger, "didn't eat?"
The boy shook his head, "no, I kind of skipped out on breakfast."
Percy smiled as he pulled out his bag of burgers and fries, "want some?"
The child of Pan's eyes went wide in amazement, "woah! Where did you pull that out from?!"
Percy winked, "trade secret kid," he took out a burger and handed it to the 10 year old, "now eat."
Little Percy smelt the burger and a look of disgust went over his face. But he took the burger and gave out a weary thanks in response.
Percy raised an eyebrow, "wait you don't like meat?"
The kid looked nervous, "yeah, I don't really eat meat."
"Then why did you take the burger?"
"Well you offered it, and you did kind of save my life there. So I thought it would be rude if I said no."
Percy blinked in surprise, 'oh yeah, son of Satyr, figures he's a vegetarian.' Percy then laughed out loud, "wait, you thought it would be rude? Kid you're hilarious!"
"Hey! I was just being nice!"
"Dude if you don't want meat just say so," Percy said as he took back the burger and gave the little kid a large french fry, "here, it's may not be the healthiest eating choice but it isn't meat."
Little Percy's eyes widened comically as he snacthed the fries and began gulping them down in the hand fulls. Percy chuckled and the two sat down in the forest enjoying their meals. Percy Decker had eaten around two large fries before he was full and Percy Jackson had eaten everything else.
"Wow Percy, you sure can eat," Pan's son said, "I have never seen someone eat that much."
The son of Poseidon smiled, "why thank you Percy, it's a blessing from the gods, well actually the Fates but that's not important."
The kid looked confused but shrugged as the two fell into a comfortable silence.
"So tell me something about yourself kid," Percy asked finally. He needed to know about the kids life here, if the kid was happy then he could talk to his aunt and simply tell her to send little Percy to camp for safe keeping, if not, well Percy could always just kidnap him.
"Ah, well I suppose it started when my mom died," little Percy said with a low tone, "I don't actually remember her, I was like 5 when it happened. She was nice though, from what I remember. Ever since then I lived with my aunt and uncle, they're alright, I guess, but my cousins are the worst."
Percy nodded, "I see…..hey Percy," the little kid turned to look at him, "how would you like to run away from this place."
For a moment a spark of happiness went through the kid's eyes. A strong and warm gust of wind blew through the forest almost like it was reacting to the kids happiness. But just as quickly as it started it ended.
The son of Pan looked down, "no, I can't. Even if I did I wouldn't have anywhere to go."
"Well you could come with me," Percy said, "there's a place for people like us, a camp. If you want I can take you there."
"Wait, what? People like us? What do you mean?"
Percy blinked before realisation dawned on him, "oh yeah! I haven't told you yet have I?"
