Percy stood in front of the Big House with the rest of the camp a good 20 feet behind him.
Percy turned around, "you sure you guys don't want to come closer?"
"No it's okay," Lee Fletcher called out, "we don't want to get in your way."
"And you Hermes?" Percy asked the messengers of the gods who sat next to Dionysus on the porch of the Big House sipping a glass of milk.
"No thanks," Hermes said, "I just came here to observe and report back."
Percy nodded, "if you say so."
After Dionysus fainted last night they had decided to wait till morning to release the demi gods. After all 24 new demigods would be a lot to handle, they would the entire camp to back them up. At breakfast Percy had to step up and basically explain to everyone about his inventory powers, which got him a few odd looks from the crowd. They thought he was joking, until he pulled out a shield from thin air. It took some time but people got the general gist of his powers, and here they all were.
He opened his inventory and quickly looked through it and chose the first demigod to release.
Percy reached in and pulled out a young boy with brown hair and sparkling blue eyes.
"Yo mini me," Percy said grinning ear to ear as he placed the kid down, "welcome to camp," Percy stepped to the side and gave the young boy a full view of all the campers.
"WOW!" Little Percy yelled out with a twinkle in his eye, "this is so cool! You kept your promise Percy!" The young shouted as he charged and grabbed Percy in a tight hug.
"Oph," Percy puffed out as the kid nearly took out all the air in him. He patted the kid on the back, "well a promise is a promise kid."
"Who is he Percy?" Annabeth asked drawing both Percy's attention to the rest of the camp.
"Oh right, introductions. Camp meet Percy Decker," Percy said as he patted the boy on the shoulder again.
"No another one!" Michael yelled out, "camp is barely surviving with one Percy!"
"Shut up Michael no one asked your opinion!" Percy growled out.
"Bite me fish head!"
"Shut up or I'll rip the strings off of your guitar!" Percy shouted as he turned to little Percy, "don't mind him, he just likes to be annoying."
"Like your one to talk!"
"Shut up Michael!"
"Ah hm," Dionysus cleared his throat drawing everyone's attention, "as much as I would love to see you two engage in verbal spares we do have, sigh, 23 more demigods to get through, so if you would please continue with the introduction Peter," Dionysis motioned for Percy to continue.
"Who is that weirdo and why did he call you Peter?" Little Percy asked causing the entire camp including Hermes to explode in a fit of laughter leaving Dionysus with a headache.
"That mini me is Dionysus, the god of wine," Percy said as slowly the child of Pan started to pale a little, "don't worry, he might look me but underneath it all he's a big softie. And sometimes he purposefully calls you by the wrong name, but that's just because he doesn't like getting close to any demigods."
Percy then turned to Hermes, "and you see that thin dude in the red track suit, he's Hermes god of messengers, your grandfather."
Hermes blinked, "he's my legacy?"
Percy shook his head as his smile grew bigger, "nope. Percy," he turned to the kid, "why don't you introduce yourself?"
"A-ah, you sure?" The little boy asked uncertain.
Percy nodded, "go ahead man."
The boy nodded as he slowly walked forward, "ah, hi everyone. I'm Percy Decker, and I'm the son of Pan."
The camp went silent when suddenly Dionysis got off of his seat so fast Percy swore he heard the sound barrier break, "WHAT?! YOU'RE THE SON OF PAN?!"
"Percy are you sure?" Hermes asked as he zoomed up to the kid before looking at him with a keen eyes.
"Yeah, my powers for identifying demigods kicked in and told me so-"
Lie successful!
"-The kid felt like the forest, like Grover did. But it was more powerful, more…. Godly. So I put two and two together. Was I right?"
Hermes nodded, "he has Pan's eyes, I'm not sure, but I think he is Pan's kid."
Just then a green Satyr head appeared over little Percy's head lighting up the ground with it's forest green glow.
"Well that settles it," Percy said smiling, "you're definitely Pan's kid now."
The entire camp bust into chatter and whispers as everyone gave the boy side glances. Little Percy fell into himself in agitation and worry.
"Percy what's going on?" The kid asked.
Percy knelt down and placed his hands on the boy's shoulder, "it's simply mini me, you just got claimed."
"What does that mean?"
"Why don't you look up and find out?"
The boy did just that and when he did he saw the green Satyr head above him glowing brightly, "woah!"
"Yup, that means your dad just acknowledge you as his son, pretty cool right?"
"Yeah, but why does everyone act like it's a big deal? Their acting like I'm different. This is normal right Percy?"
The son of Poseidon nodded, "relax mini me it's perfectly normal. It's just…. remember when I told you that you were an extra special demigod because of your dad?"
The kid nodded, "yeah."
"Well you see mini me your dad is the lord of the Wild and recently he's gone missing. No one knows where he is, your mom was probably the last person to have even seen him and you are his son. You're a big deal kid."
"Percy the little one looks hungry," Hermes spoke up, "maybe we should get him something to eat."
Percy nodded, "that's right you haven't had anything except some french fries."
"It's okay, I don't get hungry often," little Percy said holding onto Percy, "if it's all the same with you can I stay here?"
Percy looked to Hermes who shrugged. Percy smiled, and turned to little Percy, "sure mini me, though you're going to have to let go my leg. I have a job to do and I need the leg to do it. How about this, see that pretty blonde girl over there with the know it all type of attitude?" Percy pointed to Annabeth who huffed in amusement at the know-it-all comment,"that's Annabeth, one of my best friends, why don't you wait with her and she'll make sure to make you feel at home."
Little Percy nodded and quickly walked away leaving Percy alone.
"Well if that was just the first one this might turn out to be a longer day than I originally thought," Dionysis commented as he took a swing from his can.
