BWI Airport | Portalocity Lounge | Saturday Morning | August 28

In most instances, no one would bat an eye at seeing a boy and his dog. In this instance, some people might actually run away screaming at the sight of this boy and this dog. Percy Jackson didn’t look all that intimidating on his own. He was average height, dark haired and carried a ball point pen in the pocket of his jeans.

Of course, the huge hellhound sitting behind Percy might have turned a few heads if not for the Mist. Thankfully, most mortals didn’t see Mrs. O’ Leary, Percy’s inherited hellhound sitting lazily in the BWI airport lounge (how the hellhound had fit, Percy didn’t know).

Percy himself didn’t look as relaxed as his dog. His eyes were jumping left to right, almost as if he expected something to attack him or for Luke to emerge from the crowd with that more smirk than smile look on his face.

This was about the fourteenth school Percy had been to since age twelve. He didn’t expect it to last. He wanted to be at Camp Half Blood. Instead, he was waiting in an airport lounge for a shuttle to cart him and his hellhound to a place called Fandom.

Percy frowned. He didn’t think this day could get worse.

[Open shuttle bus! Mrs. O’ Leary is a big ole hellhound that most mortals probably would not see because of something called the Mist. If you’re not exactly all the way mortal, you’d see her though. She’s not going to attack anyone, I promise.]

"It was." Well, it was was a fair reaction; she was so used to everyone around her knowing who she was that she'd abandoned anything like manners when introducing oneself to strangers. "My name is Cally; could you tell me where we are, please? I had to abandon my shuttle mid-flight, and I've no idea where I ended up."

"You would think," Cally agreed, her mind racing as she tried to figure out what an airport was, sent the... she'd lost count of the unanswered calls to her sister by now, but she sent another, and attempted to make enough sense of what had happened to her to explain it to someone else, all at the same time.

"I didn't so much abandon it as get ripped away by some odd spatial disturbance. I'm rather surprised to be alive myself; I don't understand how I got here. Or where here is." Or where this shuttle was meant to be going, though she hoped the answer would be a base or port she was familiar with.

"Or something." Cally shook her head. "Not a meteor or comet; it seemed to be made of energy, not matter. Whatever it was, though, it was very powerful. I thought my ship was going to be torn apart, or I was."

"I took off from Auron central control in the north sector, for an orbit of the A-3 moon; it was supposed to be my first solo training flight."

That should be helpful, right?

If there were curses on Auron that didn't involve the word Thaarn -- which Cally felt was a little dire even for this situation -- she'd be muttering them now. "This isn't my planet, then."
