Percy blinked, "I'm sorry, but what? Merpeople?"

"Yes, do you not know about them?"

Percy shrugged, "no, I always thought you were the only one who lived here."

Nick shook its head...it's body?... Who knows, "not at all lord Percy, I occupy only half of the lake, the area closest to the castle. The half closer to the forest is taken over by the merpeople, they have a village just over the reach there and they are quite….ah, protective."

Percy nodded, "I see...and you said they were going to be involved with the tournament in someway?"

Nick nodded, "yes my lord. Why do you ask?"

"I am participating in the tournament, I figured out the next clue which pointed me to the lake, guess my hunch was right."

Nick nodded, "ah, of course you would participate in the tournament, let the wizards witness the power of the son of Poseidon! Ha! I'm sure you'll win the whole thing!"

Percy smiled, "here's hoping. Anyway Nick I was wondering could you show me to the merpeoples' village? If they know about the tournament and they are going to be holding it there then it's best I speak to them now."

Nick stopped moving for a moment speaking up slowly, "I...I do not think that would be the best idea my lord."

"What? Why not?"

"Well you see merpeople aren't the most...ah, they aren't very welcoming to outsiders my lord. Particularly land walkers."

"I see...well then it's a good thing I'm not just a land walker huh? Do they also worship my dad?"

Nick nodded, "they praise lord Poseidon to the deepest waters, he is their god, their everything. They are very...ah, what is the word here….zealotous. If they don't believe you are indeed a son of Poseidon then things… might get ugly."

Percy chuckled, "then it's a good thing I am a son of Poseidon huh. Lead the way Nick."

Nick nodded as he pointed to a ridge swimming over. Percy followed the giant squid crossing over to discover a deep valley going deep into the lake. And in the bottom was a giant plain where a village of stone stood surrounding by seaweed and other small schools of fishes.

The city looked to be inspired by Greek architecture with tall marble pillars outside the house and worn down statues outside on the streets. There wasn't much light down here, if Percy was a normal human he wouldn't be able to see shit, luckily he was no such thing.

Suddenly the 'streets' of the village started to fill up with green figures popping out of their homes. 

They reminded Percy of mermaids, though not the kind he remembered. They had greenish skin with gills instead of ears and fish tails instead of legs.

The merpeople began to talk to each other pointing at Nick, they began to move. The smaller merpeople were huddled together near the back as the larger ones started to swim towards them with weapons drawn.

"I think they see us," Nick said as he pointed approaching mermen, each carrying spears tipped with a sharp coral like tip.

Percy chuckled, "yeah I think they do."

The mermen approached, the one leading the charge had several coral shells strung into necklaces around his neck and a heavily designed headgear on his brow. 

He clicked teeth, showing off his sharp shark like teeth, and hissed, "Nicholas! Why do you cross the boundary? Why are you here? Who is this child? You dare reveal our sacred ground to a wizard?!"

Nick stepped up, "hold you tongue great chief! You know not who you speak too. I did indeed cross the line, but I do so at our lord's request."

"Dumbledore is no lord of ours!" the chief hissed.

"I do not speak of him, I mean out true lord," Nick moved aside displaying Percy, "may I have the honour to present Lord Perseus Jackson, son of Lord Poseidon."

The mermen were stunned to say the least as they began to chat amongst themselves pointing at Percy in awe. The chief however did not look impressed, if nothing else he looked angry beyond belief.

"YOU DARE?! HOW DARE YOU LIE TO US NICHOLAS! HOW DARE YOU SULLY THE NAME OF OUR LORD!" the chief hissed as he leveled his spear at Nick causing its tip to light up with a familiar green shine, "I should destroy you where you stand you heretic! This is your first and only warning! Leave our village or I will destroy you where you stand!"

Nick's eyes went wide, "you dare point that at him?! If lord Poseidon finds out he will skin you alive for this!"

"I think not squid! He will reward me greatly for destroying a pretender like-" chief turned the spear towards Percy, and everyone there realised that Percy was smiling like an idiot.

The mermen were confused, Nick even more so. The chief however looked pissed off, "YOU THERE CHILD! How dare you swim there while facing such accusations?! I should kill you for this!"

Percy shrugged, "honestly I would like to see you try."

The mermen, including Nick, dropped their jaw at the demigod's dismissal. The Chief on the other hand, "WHAT?! YOU DARE DOUBT MY POWER?!"

Percy scoffed, "oh please, you don't have any power," he swam up to the chief, the merman lowered his spear under Percy's chin and the demigod smiled. 

He looked down at the glowing tip and smiled, "I would recognize this mana anywhere. It's my father's isn't it?"

The merman's all gasped at the sudden revela. The chief scowled, "lord Poseidon is not your father!"

"Yeah he kind of is," Percy grabbed the spear it and snapped it causing everyone to gasp in surprise.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" the chief yelled in horror looking at his broken spear.

"Lord Percy watch out that can kill almost any magical creature!" Nick yelled in warning.
