Percy shook his head, "I'm don't, why? You think we should?"
Annabeth frowned, "no, I don't think we should"
"Why not?" Michael asked, "I mean the rest of the people know's he's on our side-"
"-we can't risk his secret getting leaked out," Percy said, "we can't tell anyone, not even the Gods. "
"Oh come on!" Michael practically groaned, "why can't we trust the Gods?! They are on our side! Heck Kronos is trying to kill them!"
Annabeth groaned, "no, no if Ares could get corrupted enough to help Luke steal the lightning bolt then there's no saying what else Kronos could do to others."
Percy nodded, "yeah, plus Kronos doesn't really want to kill all the Gods, just his 6 kids, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter and Hestia. He would have no problems making deals with the other Gods for immunity."
Nina raised an eyebrow, "you really think the gods would betray each other?"
"We are dealing with the Greek Gods," Percy said, "they invented the back stabbing. Look the less people who knows about this the better."
Annabeth nodded, "I agree, any objections?"
Nina shook her head, "no."
"I also agree but what about Clarisse?" Michael asked, "what if she already spilled the beans?"
"Clarisse has the mind of general, she won't do that, she knows how important of a secret this is" Percy said, "remember we still have a spy in our midsts, we don't want to tip them off."
"Didn't Like say the spy was his?" Nina asked.
"That maybe true...but let's not risk it," Percy said, "for now we stick to the plan, Luke remains our secret. Agreed?"
Everyone nodded and said together, "agreed."
Annabeth smiled and turned to Percy, "see Percy, this is called trusting others."
Percy frowned, he knew she meant the fact that he kept Luke wanting to be a spy for them a secret from them. Percy sighed, "I really don't want to talk about this right now Annabeth."
The daughter of Athena sighed and turned away as an awkward feeling settled down amongst them. No one talked, not even Michael, and soon the cab ride was over as the reached the entrance to camp.
Percy payed the man and the rest quickly walked up the hill and into to forest. Just as the entered the trees two blurs moved towards them. Michael, Nina and Annabeth reached for weapons but Percy just stood there and smiled.
Zed and Alecto appeared in front of them and bowed to Percy, "master," the said together.
"How's camp? Did you guys run into any trouble?"
Alecto shook her head, "no monsters even walked near this place since you left. I think after a few of them died at our hands trying to get in they got the message."
Percy smiled, "great, I think you two deserve a break. Good job, both you," and with that Percy pulled them back into the gem on his forehead finally giving both the servant a well deserved break.
"Ah dude I have always been meaning to ask you, why exactly is Alecto dressed up like a school teacher?" Michael asked,
Percy shrugged, "she tried to kill looking like that. Guess she liked the form and just kind of stuck with it."
Michael nodded and soon the team walked up the familiar hill and reached Thalia's tree where they saw a huge crowd of campers surrounding it.
"Hey there back!" A camper cried out as soon Percy and the rest were crowded by campers all congratulating them on a job well done while patting on the back.
Percy managed to slip out of the group and walk toward the tree where Clarisse was. "Is it working?" Percy asked looking at the tree. The Elder Snake venom was gone and so was all signs of decay from the tree, "I guess it's working."
"It started to heal itself the moment I put the Fleece on it," Clarisse said pointing at a low hanging branch where the Golden Fleece now rested, "it's back to full power. Some of the Satyrs even say that they can feel the barriers power being increased causing the defence around camp to nearly double."
Percy whistled, "damn, that' impressive. Maybe we should use the thing to try and heal all out injured from now on."
