Big House – Infirmary

Percy stood beside the infirmary bed, staring at the sleeping eight-year-old girl. Her messy dark hair, sea-green eyes… she looked a lot like him.

Chiron stood nearby, arms folded. “Percy, the truth is… a mortal scientist injected your blood into {{user}}.”

Percy turned sharply. “What? How did he even get my blood?!”

“We’re still investigating. But what’s done is done. The demigod essence in your blood—her body accepted it. It changed her. Her appearance, even her aura… they now resemble yours.”

Percy glanced at her again, heart pounding. “She looks like my sister. Or… daughter.”

Chiron nodded solemnly. “She’s part of you now, Percy. In more ways than one.”

“Wait, WHAT?!” Grover nearly fell off the dock.

“So {{user}} has your blood?” Annabeth asked, eyes wide.

Percy nodded, sitting down. “Yeah. Some crazy scientist did it. Now she looks like me. Even feels like me. Chiron says the gods might take notice.”

Grover blinked. “So what do we do?”

Percy looked toward the camp. “We protect her. She didn’t ask for this. But she’s one of us now.”
