Their Sign

[PERCY]

Where is my mom?

[CHIRON]

Grover said she fought bravely, but a mortal woman against a minotaur

[PERCY]

It wasn't a dream? She's really gone?

[CHIRON]

I'm so sorry, Percy

[PERCY]

Well, it's my fault! She was trying to protect me

[CHIRON]

You mustn't blame yourself

[PERCY]

You say the gods are real? So, how could they let that happen?

[CHIRON]

I'm afraid there are some questions only the gods themselves can answer

Look for their sign

You have to be patient

A sign that the gods have a plan

I know that the future looks blurry

But, not to worry, just do what you can

Yes, the gods are very real

Though they often won't reveal

Who they are, what they want, their design

Have faith, keep your chin up

We'll help you adjust

And trust you will see their sign

[PERCY]

So if my dad's a God, I'd like to know which one. He's got a lot to answer for

He showed no sign that he ever existed

No sign he might actually care

My mom raised me all on her lonesome

When I would reach out

No one else would be there

Well I want my birthday cards and fishing trips

Child support and homework tips

Don't mean to whimper or whine

The guy didn't need to be Dad of the year

But it's clear he could've shown us a sign

So so, who is he?

[CHIRON]

It could be... That is to say, the prophecies suggest

But, that's impossible! See you at dinner, Percy!

[LUKE]

Tough first day? I'm Luke

[PERCY]

All this time, I thought my dad was some dead-beat. Turns out-

[LUKE]

He's a dead-beat God! I get how you feel

Look, the gods are busy. They have a lot of kids, and they don't always care. If you're one of the lucky ones-

They'll send a sign if they want to claim you

A sign to admit you're their own

[PERCY]

And, if they don't?

[LUKE]

Then no one can blame you

For holding a grudge

So hey, you're not alone

I'm going to be your counselor. The Hermes cabin takes anyone who hasn't been claimed. You know what that means? We're literally the reject cabin

Welcome to the dysfunctional family

When parents are distant

Or seem non-existent

Hang on, 'cause you're gonna be fine

I know it's a lot to be thinking about

All of this awkward-ass darkness and doubt

If you need a friend to help figure it out-

[Both]

Together, we'll search for your sign
