Percy nodded, "yeah, but I think you're missing the point. There are two more kids who both have an equal chance of fulfilling the prophecy now. Things are getting heated up fast, first Thalia came back, now two more potential chosen ones. If I didn't know better I would say someone was planning this all out."
"Well we do have three old women who weave our fates in a tapestry," Annabeth commented, "maybe this is just the Fates way of speeding things up."
Percy nodded, "maybe. But anyway I need to leave as soon as I can."
"Don't you think you should get some sleep first?"
Percy shook his head, "I'm good. Trust me."
Annabeth sighed, "fine, are you going to the oracle for a prophecy?"
"I rather not begin my day by looking at the rotten corpse of a woman who should have died in the 60's, thank you very much."
"So how are you going to get there? Bus? Train? Plane?"
Percy smiled, "I thought about it. It would take around 40 hours to get from here to Las Vegas, that is if I don't make any stops, and that's to long. And I am definitely not flying there. Me and two kids of Hades? Zeus wouldn't hesitate to kill us all so that his daughter would become the only candidate of the prophecy."
"What about teleportation? Don't you have some kind of key that lets you instantly travel to Hades's palace?"
Percy gulped, "yeah but I really don't want to go there right now," especially with the puberty status. 'Hell if I saw Persephone I may not want to leave!'
"So what's the plan water brian?"
"I'm going to run it."
Annabeth blinked. She dug her ears and cleared it of wax before turning back to Percy, "I'm sorry I couldn't hear that properly. Could you repeat that?"
"I said I'm going to run it."
"Percy that's about 3,000 miles from here!"
"Yeah I know, so?"
"So? So?! You can't run that long!"
Percy shrugged, "actually I wouldn't really know. I haven't really tested my limits in that regard. I know my max speed and all, but I don't know for how long I can run. Two birds one stone."
"Sigh, okay then what about shoes? You are going to run for so long that I bet your shoes will wear off before you even leave the state Percy."
Percy shrugged, "I got an idea about that," 'HNI shopping for the win!'
Annabeth sighed, "has anyone ever told you you were stubborn as a mule?"
Percy smiled, "yeah, lots of people. I tend to ignore them though."
Annabeth walked forward and caught Percy in a hug, "just be safe okay?"
Percy was blushing, he could feel her breasts up against his shirt. He quickly slammed down Gamer's mind before responding, "y-yeah. I promise."
Annabeth broke the hug and the two went their separate ways. Annabeth stayed back with Thalia while Percy went downstairs and to the porch.
The camp was still asleep, the sun had just risen. Percy took a seat on the porch and quickly pulled out the HNI;
HNI,
A device used by the children of Hermes and few other campers. It allows access to the H-Net which will give you access to the world without worry of monsters finding out.
Percy put the took on a piece of paper and turned it on. The home screen popped up and Percy quickly went into the shopping corner. He then began a search for friction resistance shoes and after some time spent digging he found the perfect pair;
Fric Shoes,
A set of shoes that will guaranty style, comfort and application. It's soles are made out of an amalgamation of rubber and celestial bronze ensuring flexibility and anti-wearing.
Note: This shoe has blades hidden inside it
Enchanted to be resistant to high levels of heat and extreme weather conditions while allowing the wearer to have full range of movements.
Durability- 100/100
Cost- 500D
The price was steep and it would set back Percy by a lot, but it was worth it, especially those hidden blades.
Percy pressed buy now and pulled out the required amount and placed it on the device. The exchanged happened in a flash of light as the money was replaced with a box containing Percy's new shoes.
They were black with an omega symbol near the mouth. The inside had an orange foam lining with the tip being metal plated. The rubber underneath was thick with metal plates woven into it, and Percy could see a hole at the tip from which the blades came out off. It didn't have any laces but when Percy pressed the omega symbol the mouth opened up allowing Percy to easily slip his foot into the shoes before it automatically closed itself.
Percy quickly switched shoes and tried his new ones out. They were pretty cool, very flexible and very comfortable with a type of cooling chamber inside to keep the feet from heating up and smelling.
Percy took out the instruction book he received in the box and quickly read through it. It seemed that in order to activate his blades Percy had to kick his heels. He did so and immediately two very sharp blades popped out of them. The blades were around 7 inches long and an inch thick. They were dangerous to use, but definitely useful in a fight.
Percy clicked his heels again re-sheathing the blades before he threw aside the box and instruction manual, don't need those anymore.
