Meeting with a certain goat
-The woods, around the bushes -
Just as Percy and Annabeth were ready fight they heard a gloat coming from the bushes. Annabeth looked at Percy , silently judging the situation. On one hand she could take a step closer , protecting Percy and killing the monster (if it was a monster her mind supplied.) or letting Percy take the step and back him up if it was necessary. Just as she was about to take action a head popped into view. None of them made a move. The guy opened his mouth:
-Could you guys help me , I - I think I'm stuck .
Her mind quickly came to a conclusion " A young satyr , probably inexperienced" seeing that the satyr was nervous and unarmed , she decided to help. She signaled to Percy, confirming the satyr was harmless. They pulled the satyr from the bushes and he started to speak:
"My name is Grover and I was tasked to make sure you guys would arrive to the camp alive. " the satyr introduced himself . Percy was gaping, seeing a guy who looks like a teenager with goat legs would do the trick.
" You have donkey legs. " Percy said without thinking.
" I am a satyr, half human half goat if you mind, and most satyrs would have beaten you up for that mistake." Said Grover as he started to chew on leaves that was once on him. He sniffed the air , checking for something.
" Either you guys have more demigod friends with you or you guys have a scent so strong it would attract strongest monsters with ease, and for your safety I'm hoping it's the first one."
" Definitely the first one" came an answer from behind and seeing that it was Luke ,Annabeth and Percy rushed to his side.
" I thought you guys were looking out." said Percy.
" We were , however I got a feeling something was up and came to check up on you guys, besides it was time for eating, I have managed to steal some money and Thalia hinted for a suprise , although I'm not sure if it's safe seeing it's Thals." said Luke , as he silently judged the satyr. Even though he did seem harmless Luke did not trust him one bit.
