Chapter 103

Ares looked at Percy who simply smiled, "oops."

The god of war smiled, "ruthless, prideful and willing to do anything to win. It's like looking at a mirror."

Percy's smile fell at those words as the old waitress quickly came over.

"Oh dear what happened here?" the kind old lady asked.

"I'm sorry ma'am my hand slipped," Percy then picked up the steak and the still intact plate and gave it to her, "please tell the chef I enjoyed every bite I ate."

"Oh that's nice dear, do you want me to bring you another one?" she asked taking the plate.

"Oh please no it's okay," Percy then looked at Areas with narrowed eyes, "I lost my appetite."

Ares chuckled while the woman quickly walked away to the kitchen. Percy sat back down and crossed his hands, "so what the fuck do you want."

"Already don't like me huh?" Ares said with a grin.

"You tried to steal my meat."

"If this was ancient Greece men would have offered me their wives. And when I made them moan like their husbands never could they would thank me and give me half their wealth."

"Than it's a good thing this isn't ancient Greece huh?"

"Haha, if only," Ares said with his eyes flashing brighter behind his shades.

"If you do not mind me asking Lord Ares," Luke asked stressed, "why are you here?"

"Oh right, I need you three to get something for me."

"Nope," Percy repled crossing his hands.

"Percy!" Luke called out, "stop trying to piss of the god!"

"He stole my steak!"

"Attempted to steal you steak," Ares corrected as he smiled at the fight Luke and Percy were having.

"Look can we do this later?" Luke said with a sigh. Percy frowned and looked away.

"As I was saying, I need you three to get something for me. I was on a date a few days again and I lost my shield in the Waterpark. I would go there and get it myself but I frankly would rather want you to get it."

"Why?" Percy frowned.

"Percy gods are restricted by the ancient laws, the only way they can give help in any form to questers is as a reward. I'm sure Lord Ares is just giving us a simple task so that he can reward us later," Luke explained in a very scripted like tone.

Percy then turned to Ares, "and why do you want to help us? Isn't war kind of your thing?"

Ares grinned a mad grin, "my reasons are my own. You either accept this or you don't. That's all."

Percy narrowed his eyes at Ares but then relented, "so what's the reward?"

Ares smiled and pulled out three rings and laid them out on the table, "these."

Percy picked one up and observed the;

Rings of Invisibility;

The wearer of these rings is given invisibility for one whole day.

Time remaining- 24 hours

"I got these from my brother," Ares explained, "grants the user 24 hours of invisibility. You can use them to get into Hades's palace."

"So you are just willing to give us these?" Percy asked putting the ring down, "no strings attached."

The god of war smirked, "see, aren't I a generous god?"

Percy nodded, "yes. But I'm still not giving you my steak."

The god frowned, "you still don't understand just who you are talking to do you boy. But no matter. You will learn respect for me in time."

"I don't think I would ever-" Percy began.

"-Thank you lord Ares, we will get right on this," Luke interrupted Percy.

Percy frowned but kept quiet shooting Luke a dirty look. The god gathered the rings and then got up, "bring my shield back here in two hours time."

Soon after the god left Percy turned to Luke, "why the hell are you so eager to kiss his ass?!"

Luke frowned, "Percy you already managed to piss of Hades and Zeus, two of the strongest gods in Greek myth. I would rather not have the literal god of combat come after us as well."

Percy scowled but kept quiet. He then spent the rest of the meal in deep contemplation. Why was Luke was pushy right now? Before he was so laid back leaving everything to Percy but now...did he want us to do the quest for some reason? Was Are the one who Alecto found Luke talking to?

But why? Did Luke contact Ares before had to arrange all this? Why would the god even agree to that? Percy's head spun as he felt a headache come on. Something didn't add up. He was looking at only half the picture, the rest were missing.

After paying for the bill Percy and the rest got into their car and drove to the Waterpark. The place was empty, abandoned really, so obviously it was closed. Luckley jumping really high was one of the first things Percy learned how to do. He jumped over the fence and opened the gate from the inside.

"So where exactly is this tunnel of love?" Grover asked as he looked around the abandoned place.

"Let's take a look," Luke said turning to the map. There in the center of the park was a boat ride called, 'Thrill Ride O'Love' "I think this is it. We should go straight ahead and then take a left."

Percy nodded and the three did just just. Soon they came to the love tunnel which was unsurprisingly was a water tunnel shaped like a pink heart. The tunnel was decorated on the side with statues of cupid along with other omatic stuff like hearts and fishes. Wait….fishes? Well to each their own.

On top of the tunnel was a sign that said, 'Thrill Ride O'Love: This is not your parents tunnel of Love!'. The tunnel was now empty leaving behind only a big concret skating halfpipe but Percy could feel the water in the pipes below.

Percy slide down and began walking into the tunnel. The tunnel was dark but luckily Grover was prepared as he took out a torch light lighting their way in. Inside the tunnel was covered with mirrors on all side, if someone was to go into this thing they would always have a good view of the person they were with.

"Where did he say his stupid shield was?" Percy asked.
