A Drape?

BANG BANG BANG

I woke up to a loud knocking on my door, then a notification ran through my head.

3 Charis Lost by Clarisse LaRue: Failed her PTF requirement.

3 Charis Lost by Annabeth Chase: Failed her PTF requirement.

I groggily got up and went to open the door.

As soon as I saw who and what was on the other side of the door, my brain woke up.

"Who are you?" I asked the naked female satyr confusedly.

"Percy, it's me," the satyr said.

"Clarisse?" I asked confusedly.

"In the flesh," Clarisse said. "Or should I say, in the fleece."

"What'd the PTFs do to you?" I asked.

"Like we expected, there was two of them," Clarisse said. "I'll read out what the Fates implanted in my brain when it happened."

The Golden Sheep: Clarisse LaRue is now a hybrid between herself and Perseus' half-brother, Chrysomallos.

Half-Footed: Clarisse LaRue has a 60% chance of getting "stuck" once per day. If Perseus doesn't fuck her before freeing her, she loses 5 Charis.

I stared at Clarisse blankly. "Yeah, give me a few minutes to wake up."

---

Ten minutes later, I left the house again, and Clarisse was facing away from me.

"What happened to your clothes?" I asked.

"Yeah, as soon as I got the Golden Sheep, all my clothing became really uncomfortable," Clarisse said. "It's fine, my fur covers all the important bits."

"How did it happen?" I asked. "I obviously never bothered to ask Lucia, so..."

"It was pretty normal and weird," Clarisse admitted. "Because I was supposed to be in your House, I couldn't go back to mine, so I kinda just hung out in the dining hall. 30 minutes after the curfew, I just felt the magic wash over me, and ta-da! I'm a changed satyr."

"Huh," I said. "I wish I knew, I'd have given you a blanket."

"My fur is comfortable as hell," Clarisse said as we entered the dining hall. "I don't need no blanket."

"Uh, who are you?" Sadie asked.

"Clarisse," she said with a roll of her eyes. "Gods, I curl my hair, and it's like none of you recognize me!"

"You did a lot more than just curl your hair," I said amusedly.

"Wait, are you like the Golden Sheep?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah," Clarisse said.

Rachel raised an eyebrow. "So, you're — nevermind."

"Say it," Clarisse demanded.

"You're Percy's half-sister," Rachel winced.

Clarisse thought for a second. "More like a quarter or a third. I'm basically old me's kid with the Sheep itself."

"Yeah, it's all too convoluted and nasty to think about," Rachel said, her nose scrunched.

"You'll be part of it soon enough," Amphitrite teased.

Lachesis flashed into the room. "I've come to announce your Charis rankings, guys!"

Charis Rankings:

1. Clarisse LaRue (13 Charis)

2. Rachel Elizabeth Dare (12 Charis)

3. Lucia Castellan (9 Charis)

4. Amphitrite (6 Charis)

5. Zoë Nightshade (3 Charis)

6. Sally Jackson (-8 Charis)

7. Sadie Kane (-12 Charis)

8. Juno (-12 Charis)

9. Annabeth Chase (-15 Charis)

"I can't wait to see how the Rankings change by the end of the season!" Lachesis exclaimed. "Oh, also, have fun on your Date, Juno."

With that, Lachesis flashed away.

"Ok, this is going to sound weird," Rachel said. "But is it just me or are the Fates... Quirky?"

"It's not just thee," Zoë said. "Clotho presents a polite aura, whereas Atropos provides a somber aura."

"Meanwhile, Lachesis is simply eccentric," Amphitrite said. "I do appreciate it, it shows their status in the cycle of life quite apparently."

"Yeah," Rachel agreed. "They even voted for us during the Game based on their domains it was... Eye opening."

"Precisely," Amphitrite said.

After breakfast, I was accosted by an angry Juno.

"You shall accompany me to the Date Hall," Juno hissed. "We shall not speak, we shall not make eye contact, we shall not touch, you will keep your distance, mortal."

"Testy much?" I asked with a grin.

Juno huffed and walked towards the Date Hall, and I followed her.

Juno opened the door to the Date Hall, opening it up to a garden filled with flowers and peacocks.

"Your seat is there," Juno said, pointing to a bench that faced the wall.

"Yeah, no," I said. "This won't work, Juno. Either we work through our animosity, or I'm leaving the Date Hall."

"Insolent mortal," Juno said.

"Delusional hag," I shot back.

"Tell me why I should entertain you," Juno demanded.

I raised an eyebrow at her. "Lady, the question is why should I entertain you. You need me way more than I need you, so zip it."

Funny enough, she did zip it.

For three seconds.

"In my time, your lip would've seen you killed by Jupiter immediately!" Juno yelled at me.

"And that's why we're here," I said.

Juno angrily left the Hall.

I grinned, then I left as well.

I strolled down a random path, until I reached a gate.

Hesitantly, I opened the gate, and entered the enclosure.

"Huh," I said. "I didn't know we had a copy of the Hesperide's Garden here."

"Me neither," Zoë admitted from her seat under the tree. "Why art thou here?"

"My date with Juno went to shit, thankfully," I said. "I'm pretty sure that because we spent five seconds together in the Hall, she won't be punished, so thankfully I won't have to deal with that. After that, I kinda just walked, and here I was."

"As we are so fortuitous to have some time together, might we speak?" Zoe asked as I sat next to her.

"Of course," I said.

"Thou art my king," Zoë said. "None is worthy, except for thee. However, thy feelings are undoing you."

"I'm not breaking my loyalty," I said firmly.

"Thou hast chosen the wrong version of loyalty," Zoë said. "We are to spend eternity together, and thy partner is aware."

"I don't know what you want me to say, Zoë," I sighed.

"I merely wish for thee to see the futility in thy actions," Zoë said. "Many of us have our reasons for wishing Queenship. Picking and choosing is not thy problem, choosing only one is thy problem. I would warn thee, the stakes will only get higher."

"I know, Zoë," I said. "But I think you can understand with me why I can't do anything yet."

"I understand thy honor," Zoë said. "I shan't press thee further, I don't wish to aggravate thee."

I laid my head back against the tree and slept peacefully.

A few hours later, I woke up to the bell for lunch.

Before I could even sit down, Lucia yelled at me.

"So, you're going to be nice to Juno, but you fucked up everything with me?" Lucia asked.

I opened my mouth to argue, but then I realized Lucia was making a valid point. "Y'know what, you're right. Juno, you're not sleeping in my room tonight."

"You've an opportunity to be blessed with a night in the same bed as the queen of the gods, and you're rejecting it?" Juno asked haughtily, but I could see the worry in her eyes.

"Ex-queen," I repeated Amphitrite's earlier words. "And it's my choice."

"You'll regret this," Juno promised.

"I don't think so," I said, shrugging. "If you do anything, you know it'll only get worse for you."

Juno glared at me harder.

"I approve of your choice, Perseus," Amphitrite said.

Rachel raised an eyebrow at her. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"I can't compliment my king?" Amphitrite asked.

"No," several of us said at once.

"All I'm saying is, for someone supposedly against being our lover, you're adept at resolving tensions between us, forcefully or otherwise," Amphitrite said.

I frowned at her. "You know I don't want it, stop pushing it."

"Actually, I don't," Amphitrite said. "I know you need it, but you're being held back by a mortal's outlook on loyalty. Do you think Poseidon was unloyal to me?"

"Yes," Juno said.

"No," Amphitrite said. "You misunderstand the reality of being a God. It's Fated for you to have multiple partners, that's especially necessary for you."

"What?" I asked. "What do you even mean?"

"You wouldn't understand because you rejected godhood," Amphitrite said. "But there's a reason Zeus of all people offered you godhood. Us gods have power, the major gods, more so, and the Big Three, were some of the strongest. They were Fated to have more partners so all their power and aspects weren't filtered into one person!"

"Yeah, I didn't get any of that," I said.

"It's pretty clear but worrying," Annabeth said. "Amphitrite is suggesting that the Fates ordained for the gods to have several partners to ensure that their aspects and powers weren't consolidated into one person, but because of the Pact, you're the outlier, therefore Zeus offered you godhood because of how your power was an previously unseen level for gods."

"I still don't understand," Sadie said. "Demigods aren't even a thing for us Egyptians."

"Ok, lemme put it simply," Clarisse said. "Hercules is the equivalent of let's say... one nuke. Comparatively, Thanatos would be maybe 500 nukes, Artemis would be over a million nukes, same with Apollo, and the Big Three would be around a couple quadrillion nukes. I'm just guessing off the top of my head, the number might be higher. So, if you put all that power into one experimental warhead, you're basically asking to fuck the world up, right? So I think the Fates made sure that didn't happen by implanting fail-safes in their behaviors. The Big Three are philanderers, especially Zeus. Athena has brain children, which barely makes sense. Artemis has the Hunt, and Apollo is infamous for his one night stands."

"See, that'd make sense, but I'm not that powerful," I said. "If I was like super powerful, that'd make sense, but I was just lucky to be named in the Prophecies."

Everyone looked at each other, and Clarisse rubbed her head with a groan while Rachel laughed.

"You think yourself weak?" Juno asked, disgusted. "You think I would let a weak mortal carry me?"

"Well, how am I supposed to know why you'd let me carry you?" I asked.

"Because you were getting too powerful!" Juno exclaimed. "You beat my son to first blood at age 12, and you defeated my father at 16! You were the first to make the Achilles' Curse look like a blessing!"

I looked at Juno in shock, then I chose to move on and eat my food.

"No, I need you to believe this," Clarisse said forcefully, shaking my shoulder. "Percy, you're the strongest demigod to ever live, and that's a fact."

"Thanks, Clarisse," I said, standing up. "Imma be at the entertainment building, if anyone needs me."

I got up from the table and headed to the building where Sadie, Annabeth, and I watched Finding Nemo.

I chose to play a game called Dario Qart, I had heard my classmates talk about it a lot, so I decided to try it out.

As I was racing in a map called Drowser's Island, Annabeth entered the room.

"Hey," Annabeth said softly.

"Hey," I said back, pausing the game. "What's up?"

"I wanna fuck," she said simply.

I sighed and put down the controller. "Let's talk about everything first."

"What's there to talk about?" Annabeth asked harshly.

"I don't want to lose our first time in a moment of anger," I said.

"It wouldn't be my first," Annabeth said, her tail twitching.

"I know," I said softly. "Tartarus showed me everything, I don't know why you didn't just let me go."

"You were mine, Percy," Annabeth whispered as a tear fell. "I couldn't let go, I knew you'd come back."

"Hey," I said softly, wiping her tear. "You were right, I'm right here."

Annabeth sat quietly for a while. "You know we have to do this, Percy. Even if it's not the way we wanted to, but I have to."

I shrugged. "If you want to, then I'm fine with it."

"I do," Annabeth said lustfully, taking her clothes off. "Clothes off, Seaweed Brain."

I wordlessly took my clothes off, then Annabeth sat on my lap and grinded on me.

"You're so beautiful," I said, then I licked her tits. "You've always been beautiful."

"Tell me what you love about my body," Annabeth ordered as she palmed my rapidly hardening dick.

"Everything," I moaned, then I groped her. "Your hair, your tits, your legs, your butt with the tail, your stomach, you, it's all amazing."

"Don't talk about my new parts," Annabeth ordered, then she moaned as sunk down on my dick.

5 Charis Earnt by Annabeth Chase: Take Perseus' virginity!

"Oh, that reminds me," I said. "What are you going to do about your PTF to do it with someone else as well?"

"I said, don't talk about my new parts," Annabeth hissed, then she slammed herself down angrily.

The **** of her drew a wince from me, but I hid it by biting her neck playfully.

"Woof woof!" Annabeth moaned as she bounced on me vigorously.

10 Charis Lost by Juno: Failed her PTF requirement.

Getting that notification nearly made my dick soft, but Annabeth kept on riding me.

"Oh, I missed this," Annabeth moaned.

I started bucking upwards, putting my own energy into our fucking. "The feeling's kind of mutual."

"Harder!" Annabeth moaned, and I slapped her ass, drawing a yip out of her.

"I'm about to cum," I groaned.

Annabeth sunk all the way down, and started gyrating her hips, and I moaned loudly as I came.

10 Charis Lost by Juno: Failed her PTF requirement.

I groaned in annoyance. "This bitch is about to make me throw a fit."

Annabeth stood up angrily. "Is that why you haven't wanted to fuck me yet?"

"What do you mean?" I asked confusedly.

"Because you want to fuck me like I'm a bitch, is that what it is?" Annabeth asked. "Only my tail and my ears are what get you going, so you don't want to fuck me until I want to do doggystyle?"

"What?" I asked. "Annabeth, I don't even care about that."

Annabeth wore her clothes angrily. "I can't believe you!"

With that, she left the room angrily, slamming the door behind her.

I groaned and held my head in my hands.

---

For the rest of the day, I sat in the entertainment building, not even leaving when the dinner bell rang.

I walked slowly to my House, contemplating how everything went wrong so fast.

At my doorstep, Juno was sitting down. As soon as she saw me, she stood up and matched to me angrily.

"Do you realize how you've destroyed my options by listening to your lust!" Juno yelled at me, and my anger all bubbled up.

"Listen, I have no patience for your bullshit," I said. "You just fucked up everything, so shut the fuck up, or you'll see what I went through in the Pit."

Juno blanched, and she backed away hurriedly, falling on her ass.

I gave her a disappointed look, then I went to my room, slamming the door behind me angrily.
