    Summary

    “Is this Dionysus Mantzoukas?” she asked in a short, clipped tone.

    “Can I help you?” he asked impatiently, wanting nothing more than to flop back over and continue to ignore his responsibilities for a few more hours. “What do you want? Can you not see what time it is–”

    “My name is Jodie Perry. I'm calling from New York-Presbyterian emergency room,” the woman interrupted him. “I need to speak with Dionysus Mantzoukas–”

    “Listen, Jane, it’s two in the morning. There better be a good reason–”

    “ -in regard to your ward, Perseus Jackson. He was brought in a few hours ago, but getting any family information out of him proved…difficult.”

    ------

    In which Percy is not having a great time and calls Dionysus for help.

    Summary

    When a far more Jaded, far-less-Mortal Percy wakes up in his nine-year-old body, he very firmly decides that Once Was Enough, Thank You! So, instead of deciding to re-do his childhood But Better, he decides that this whole Mortal Hero thing is just NOT for him. So, instead, he decides to do as his kind-of-sibling Nereus does, and become a Hermit. Hell, he even makes his Mortality burn away faster than it had in the Before, so he CAN'T become the Child of Prophesy this time!

    His plan is absolutely foolproof!
    (Now if only he considered everyone ELSE when he made this plan...)

    Summary

    Percy is four years old the first time his dreams lead him to his many-great-grandmother’s chambers- a woman long dead yet somehow still seated in front of him, fingers grasping at her hair tightly as she wails about a wooden horse on the beach while her servants look on in pity. He feels the weight of something ancient and heavy settle on his shoulders in that moment.

    He's in his 1st grade classroom while his teacher screams at him for making up lies about gods and monsters and scaring the other children. He's eight when his mother's own visions become too much for her to bear.

    He's at Yancy when Grover Underwood finally finds him and says "I believe you" for the first time. And as Percy begins to feel lighter, that ancient weight that has followed him his whole life slowly dissipating, he realizes that being believed can be just as horrifying as being thought mad.
