Sally Jackson knew her son would be hunted his entire life for his heritage and power, but she would not see him enter this terrifying new world unprepared. One rather desperate favour later, and we find Percy Jackson at twelve years old, attending Yancy Academy, having been training with his Uncle John and his cousins Sam and Dean for six years.
