[MC POV]
''Well, it certainly does look abandoned'' I said.
''Why would she stay here'' Thalia asked.
''Information is one the greatest form of power and Alice uses it for profit but not without risk if she snitches on the wrong person that could cost her life it's only natural she take precautions'' I said.
''I hope she not as annoying as the last one'' she said.
''Let's go find out'' I said.
The place smelled as good as look the was perfect for not drawing attention I smelled someone upstairs so went up there. When we reach the top there was sliver door it was clearly enchanted. I opened the door to find an ordinary office just like the door it was nicer than the rest of the house. At the center there was woman that sat at the desk she just as beautiful as Maya she looked like an older version of Annabeth.
''What can I do for you'' she asked.
''Straight to point not even little bit of foreplay'' I ask cheekily?
She didn't laugh she kept staring at with a look of indifference.
''Don't be stupid idiot'' Thalia hissed.
''Fine'' I said tiredly. ''I want to know who sells the best product'' I ask?
''Anything specific'' she asked?
''Everything I also I plan to start selling weapons to place eventually I wanna know who might be instereting doing business with me and on who I should avoid all together'' I said.
''What else'' she asked?
''This is bit more personal I want which demigods have soft spot for camp half-blood or demigods and does who are indifferent or hate everything it stands for'' I said.
''That's an unusual request'' she as she raised her eyebrow.
''Can you do it'' I ask?
''Yes but it cost you is there anything else'' she said.
''I wanna know if there's been any whispers of challenging Olympus no matter how small or unlikely'' I said.
She furrowed her eyebrows as if she was paying greater attention to us although she not to questioned us about it.
''Cash or drachma'' she asked?
''Drachma'' I responded.
''That be two thousand drachmas'' she said.
''You know I saved a sister of yours Annabeth how about you cut me deal for saving her'' I ask without shame.
''If swear on the River Sticks to set up your business here and pay a 25% commission I give the information for five hundred drachmas'' she offered.
''Twenty-five percent your crazy how about ten percent'' I counter.
''Twenty'' she responded.
''Fifbteen'' I responded.
''Seventeen finally offer'' she said.
''I give you twenty if give me information for free now along with swearing on the River Sticks to not lie to me when comes to business'' I said.
''Deal'' she said.
''You sure about that'' Thalia asked?
''Yea the access to information is worth it'' I said as paid her.
''Here's a list with the highest quality of products including magical objects, weapons and drugs'' she said. ''Your last two request will take time I need at least two weeks but there's one thing I can tell you there's been rumor of a god going out his way to produce children this rumor originated from San Francisco'' she explained.
''I see thank you'' I said already knowing of who it was.
''Do have anything you wanted to ask'' I said looking at Thalia.
''Not really'' she said.
''See you in two weeks Alice next time try to be a little less of the stick in the mud'' I said.
''Your advice is noted'' she said indifferently.
''You should smile more keeping face like that will chase all men away or women if you're into that'' I said.
That cause her to finally show a reaction that wasn't indifferences she now looked slightly annoyed.
''Don't have some were to be'' she asked clearly wanted to leave.
''I'm going see you later come on Thalia'' I said.
Hours Later
We had finally made it to Sweet on America a small assuming candy shop no one would ever except the mother of one of the strongest demigods to work here. I'd step in the shop immediately coming in contact with a woman I assumed to be Sally Jackson. First thought she was pretty and gave off a warm feeling that reminded of Hestia herself no wonder Poseidon loved her so much.
''Hello, what I can I do for you kids'' she said.
''Hello, I'm Dunamis this is Thalia where demigods were here to talk to about your son'' I said.
''Where sent from that camp'' she asked defensively.
''No, we were not sent by the camp, or any god were here for our own reason'' I said.
''Who are you and do want with my son'' she asked seemly more confused?
''As said before I'm Dunamis Corrino but if meant my godly parent I do not know my father'' I said lying easily.
''I'm Daughter of Zeus'' she said bluntly.
''As to why we're here for Percy that's going need some explaining perhaps you should go break'' I suggested.
30 minutes later
So let me get this straight in few years Kronos, Typhon and Uranos are planning to go to war with Zeus for throne'' said Sally clearly stressed.
''Yes'' I respond.
''And the gods are not yet aware of this yet'' she asked?
''Not yet'' I said.
''And you were chosen by The Fates to become the New God King and make new Pantheon'' she said.
''Correct Gaia is also supporting me'' I add I decided to tell her about the Fates sense I thought it would help convince her.
''Then what do you want from my son'' she asked?
''Percy is the Son of Poseidon which means his potential outclasses most other demigods he also has strong Fate which means he important to future I would like him to invite him tp join my pantheon and become my God of the Seas'' I said.
She didn't respond she just sat there looking flabbergasted oh no I did I break her I thought.
''You ok Miss Jackson'' said Thalia.
''I'm ok I just overwhelmed'' she said.
''I understand if you need time to think me and Thalia can comeback in a week'' I said.
''That's probably for the best'' said Sally.
''One more thing before I leave out all the factions that will be fighting in this war, I'm the only one who is willing to give Percy the powers he needs to protect himself and survive not he's father can do that'' I said before leaving.
''Do you think she accept'' said Thalia.
''Probably unlike Leo mother's she much more aware of the supernatural world and its dangers plus she nosie I'm not lying what mother would deny her child the power to protect themselves'' I said.
''What if she tells someone'' Thalia asked?
''She to kindhearted for that where fine'' I said.
''What do want to do now'' she asked?
''Didn't I tell you I would take to the movies'' I said.
''Right now'' she asked?
''No time like the present'' I said.
''Alright what movie should we see'' she asked?
''The Half-Blood Prince of course'' I said.
''I've only watched the first one not the others'' she said.
''Oh well see something else you can pick'' I said.
''How about Eragon I saw poster of it earlier'' she said.
''Sure'' I said.
[Sally POV]
All I wanted for Percy was for him to be happen and live a normal life I knew it was unlikely, yet I prayed for it anyway. Now it seems my that hope was truly foolish Kronos, Typhon and Uranos all coming back for Zeus throne and the gods aren't even aware of it yet. What am I supposed to do now I can protect him from monsters but not a war between gods.
Running away want help nowhere on earth will safe enough neither can Poseidon help me he doesn't know himself. I taught about telling him everything, but I can't that boy is clearly against the gods. No matter how much I care for Poseidon I can't ignore that fact that boy was willing to make Percy a god.
The very thought scared me my little boy becoming a god I didn't want that for him but how could refuse. I wasn't sure if I could trust the boy but knew he was telling truth he could give Percy the to protect himself. I look at that drachma he left behind I picked it up haven't already made my decision.
''I hope this the right decision'' I mumbled.
