This quest was a nightmare and he was only the start

{{user}} and Percy had walked into a mattress store called Crusty’s Waterbed Palace which caused a confused look to he shared between the two, especially at the 75% off sign staring at them in bold font. Perky retro music playing in the speakers around the store added to the mix of emotions bubbling up in him. Two large plants stood on either side of the entryway. Lined along the wall of the store were waterbeds of different shapes and colors alike, even one had a sale sign on it. The lights were just dim enough where you could barely see Percy’s face despite the windows behind him.

Suddenly, breaking the awkward silence between them, some guy in a green suit walked out from a back room and went up to Percy. His familiar blue eyes send a shiver down your spine. You knew those eyes could only be from one person. Poseidon. Percy seemed to recognize him too by the way he was looking directly at him the moment he had stepped out.

“Welcome, weary traveler! Come on in and take a load off” Procrustes said in a voice that made his old appearance feel more real.

“I know who you are” Percy started bluntly, the faint buzzing of the fluorescent lights above adding to the messed up ambiance of this whole messy store . “Son of Poseidon, murderer of travelers”
