Percy POV

"HERMES", I shouted. "Come on we're going to be late for your job."

"Coming, coming."

You have 120 more deliveries to make and 230 unread messages.

"Great. Martha, George please start organizing those messages. Make sure the oldest unread ones are in the front."

My half-brother sure is busy. I just want to go through. He looks at his phone and starts scrolling. I waved my hand in his face. He just looks up and then says, "Oh, right. We have to fix some communication errors in the mortal world, make travelling easier and deliver some packages to some people that are currently living in the mortal world."

Even though he doesn't say it, I could tell that he took this day where all the work is in the mortal world because he wanted to check up on his son and his other children secretly in Camp Half-blood, though they don't know that and there's no way I'm going to tell on him. I think the gods and goddesses should at least spend like one full day with their children. It would be kind of lonely. I don't really know much of how that feels like, because well you know, living with the gods here, but I could tell that it must be hard. I heard Luke, I think that's his name, was a good swordsman. I want to battle him. I train on my own with no help from anyone. One time Athena saw me train and said I am a natural but I seriously doubt it. I haven't even battled anything, yet. Maybe I could find some monsters to battle. I grabbed my teleportor, bow and arrows, charm bracelet and charms and riptide. Hermes told me where to go and I closed my eyes as he flashed out. I turned on my teleportor, closed my eyes and thought Central Park. I opened my eyes to see Central Park. Hermes was still on his phone. He looked up at me and said, "Why don't you play for a while in this park. I have a lot of work to do." I jumped for joy. I had never got to play in a mortal park before. Heck, I have never been down to the mortal world since I started living on Olympus. I looked around to see meadows on either side of me. Hermes and I were standing under a damp, moist tree. I ran off onto the meadow on my right and that's when Hermes started walking away to do his business. I saw a monarch butterfly. It flew around me. I held out my hand and the butterfly landed on it. More butterflies came and surrounded me. They moved forward then paused and looked back, as if wanting me to follow. I went after then. Some blue jays, pigeons and other types of birds came to me as well. The wind began to increase. The birds and butterflies flew around me in a circle. Soon the circle became a twister shape. I laughed and closed my eyes. I felt a warm, glowing sensation and was enveloped into it. When I opened my eyes I saw a huge forest. It was gorgeous. Out came extinct animals. I thought they were well extinct. Other animals such as horses, deer and etc. came out of the woods too and they were accompanied by lions, bears and etc. but they weren't attacking me or each other. They all looked at me at the same time. I took that as a cue to follow them. I walked up into a willow tree. The animals went into the shade of the tree and I followed. What I saw amazed me. I saw a satyr that looked old and a little sick. He smiled at me and said, "Hello. I am Pan the God of Nature and lost god. I need you to give this flower to Artemis and I have brought you here to give you my blessing and give you a necklace which will indicate to my heir. Good luck."

The only thing I could say was "Oh. So what else can I do for you?"

"Oh, yeah. My blessing can be passed on to someone worthy like one of your friends maybe but in order for it to happen the person must have a connection with nature."

"Cool."

"You might want to go now. I don't want New York in ruins."

I didn't get what he meant but I felt like I was leaving the place. My head felt dizzy and I closed my eyes and put my hands on my ears. When the dizziness cleared I opened my eyes. I saw a willow tree in front of me. The only thing was that there was no magic in there. I saw the necklace or rather amulet and put it on. I looked around and saw that it was pretty dark. I then remembered I had to meet Hermes and ran to the other side of park. People and dogs stopped to stare at me which I assumed they did because I looked like I had just come out of a dump, not like a city dump but a nature dump. My clothes were covered with sweat and dirt. The bottoms of my jeans were muddy and my hair had some leaves and twigs on it. I looked pretty silly. I ran until I got to the meeting place and what I saw there shocked me. The gods and goddesses were looking for me. They were moving plants (Demeter), flying around (Zeus) and etc. Some were panicking (Hera and Hestia the most). The park and probably city was going to be ruined soon. Then Hermes spotted me and shouted Percy. Everyone stared at me and then Apollo to break the awkward silence asked where I have been and that they were all going crazy looking for me.

I replied, "Well sorry but I followed some butterflies and then some birds and went to see someone called Pan who said he was a lost god and god of nature. He gave me his blessing and an amulet which should lead to his heir. He also said to give this to Artemis." I tossed the flower to her. She caught it with perfect grace and then stared at it and began tearing up.

I must have looked surprised because she then began explaining.

"This is one powerful source of nature. It is weaker now then it was back in the old days because of the pollution but if you got it then it means you are good. You are also the first ever demi-god to gain Pan's blessing. I must commend you on that."

The wine dude(as I like to call him) said, "We should bring him to the council of Cloven Elders. They would want word of it immediately."

Figures he would say that because from what I have heard, they were best friends or at least close ones.

The others agreed. Poseidon or dad was grinning and looked happy.

Hermes attempted to make a joke to make us laugh and it worked.

"Now Percy, the next time you go missing because you were kidnapped by an really old yet important and very missed god, please inform us beforehand."

I mock bowed and said, "Of course my lord. I will tell you always what I am doing when I am getting kidnapped as you put it."in a snooty British accent.

The wine dude and Apollo were going to take me to the Council of Cloven Elders while everyone else returned to Olympus.
