Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 The Travel.  

 

Silva moved through the forest while heightening his senses as much as he can while taking in the energy of nature surrounding him. According to Pan, most monsters are supposed to ignore him because of his young age, but there were still a bit of risk since Silva knows that he is a demigod along with the fact that he knows who his parent is. Both will end with his scent being recognisable by monsters.

 

Currently Silva had exited the Labyrinth through the Greek side of America. He knew he can get to the roman side as well. But seeing that he had more knowledge about camp half- blood, he decided to test his luck there rather than in a place where your ancestors matter more than the fact that you are amnesic and had just entered the fantasy business.

 

Yeah, he did not like the way Percy was treated just for existing when he reached the romans.

 

Now for the matter of reaching long island. If Silva wanted, he could have just used the forests to reach there. But he was sure that there will be a lot of places in between where he has to go through cities. A wild looking kid would be then caught by authorities or police. That is unless he has help from someone.

 

He made a pyre in the centre of the forest and took a few items from the bag. Pan had taught him a bit of common sense and a few battle skills involving nature. But he had also been instilled in a bit of knowledge of the gods as well. Like how to ask for favours from gods or goddesses without pissing them off.

 

He took a special leaf from the bag. A gift from Pan as he knew Silva would need it for his journey.

 

Silva looked at the lighted fire and dropped the leaf onto the flames. He then took out a few skulls of creatures who died near to Pan's place in the Labyrinth.

 

Don't let that flightless bird fool you. That's an immortal bird connected directly to Pan. Silva had seen it kill a Sabertoothed tiger with a single peck.

 

He took out a few skulls of monsters and dropped them directly into the fire. He watched the items vanish with a spark instead of being burned. This showed that the leaf worked. Now all it needed was a location to which the offerings should be sent to, and Silva knew just the person to call.

 

"Oh, Hecate goddess of the mist and the protector of the mortals from the world of gods. I humbly ask for your help in travelling to camp half blood while offering what I can." Silva declared hoping that his request sounded right.

 

But Silva had forgotten one thing while making this request. He was a five-year-old child. Pan and the other animals had no idea on how to take care of a child so they took care of him like an adult and had found no problems with his overly mature behaviour as well. Though for the goddess who was hearing it, it looked like a cute baby saying things in a high pitch voice.

 

Hecate.

 

"Oh my gods, what is that cute stuff, oh why can't my kids be cute like that when they ask for favours" Hecate thought as she looked at the child who had given her offerings while asking for help.

 

"oh, you cute little boy, you want to go through the monsters safely don't you…"

 

While this was going on, Silva was wondering what he had done wrong in the ritual seeing that there was no reaction from the flames.

 

After a few minutes….

 

Suddenly, Silva saw a compass appear from the flames. As soon as he touched it, he got the description as well. The compass was a one-time artifact that will work until he reached camp half-blood, it will guide him through a safe path till he reaches his location

 

"Thank you for your guidance dear goddess" Silva did not forget to give his respects before he moved on to his journey.

 

Hecate watched as he started travelling again.

 

"Silver hair, silver eyes, I wonder whose child you are. Though something tells me its better not to get involved" Hecate thought as she saw the cute child walk away.

 

With the compass from Hecate, it did not take him long to reach Long Island. It can only be described as a miraculous object. It guided him to large vehicles with low security, he was able to sneak into it and travel for dozens of miles before getting on to the next one.

 

The compass even alerted him when monsters are nearby. So, he was able to hide when needed as well. Plus, since he had the blessings of the forests, he was able to request food from plants or trees when needed on the way.

 

It did not take him long to reach the camp. He looked at it noticing the lack of the barrier that is supposed to appear due to Thalia's sacrifice later on. He was able to sense demigods making rounds around the entire camp.

 

The power of the forests was strong in these regions. Silva was sure that as he grows older, his powers will increase at a level where he might be able to monitor the entire forests when he needs to.

 

As he was walking towards the camp to find someone, a bearded man with diet coke stood in his way. His attire looked unkempt, and he looked like he was getting pissed with every sip of the drink he was taking.

 

"Well, I came here when I sensed something similar to my old friend Pan. Looks like it's a disappointment. But you do have a similar aura" he said as he lowered his glasses.

 

"Are you his human spawn or something"

 

"Nope, he took care of me since I was a baby. And told me tell you he would like it if his existence is kept a secret until it is important to reveal it" Silva immediately said without giving the greetings he gave to Hecate.

 

According to Pan, if you meet Dionysus alone, it was better to interact him honestly without disrespecting him. Though full respect should be given when others are present.

 

Dionysus nodded.

 

"Looks like Pan at least taught you to speak right. Well, who's you dad or mom kid someone I know or is it that you don't know" Dionysus asked as he looked at Silva's hair and eyes.

 

"Trust me when I say this, I am not a child of the big three, but my identity is chaotic enough that revealing it to you might make your banishment to this place a hundred times more difficult" Silva said directly as he felt it was better.

 

Dionysus paused and looked at the child again. He slightly tilted his head and nodded.

 

"Good, welcome to camp half-blood yada yada yada. Don't make me trouble and keep your head down" the God of wine decided to follow the kids advice as his instincts told him the kid was downplaying the trouble he will get at the revelation.

 

A/N- hope you like it.
