Chapter 1: the boy in the mist

(a.n. Percy's pov) It was indeed a strange day at camp half-blood. Of course it was already a strange day even before "HE" showed up. Yes he came AFTER the giant squid attack (long story) and AFTER the Aphrodite cabin was struck by lightning (longerstory). The strangest thing that happened that day the so called "climate-control malfunction". It happened when the mist rolled in (the non-magic kind) and covered the entire camp. Percy Jackson was in front of the big house when the mist came. He having control over water cleared the mist (for want of a better word), When Percy cleared the mist he found himself starring at…. himself. "ahh!" he exclaimed in surprise backing into a wall."Greetings peruses Jackson, son of posiden." Said a voice seemingly coming from nowhere, Looking closer Percy realized that a mirror was in front of his face or rather a mask made of reflective metal. This is why Percy saw himself in front of him. The person was wearing a black cloak with the hood pulled up. "Usually when someone greets you you greet them back." Said the stranger with anger in his voice. "Who are you?" Percy said in way of a reply (a bit of anger rising in him to). "Riley Connor, son of Hecate..." "Isn't Hecate a maiden goddess?" asked Percy. "No she isn't and if you spent more time listening instead of interrupting you might actually learn something, Jackson." Percy's hand went to the pocket where his lethal ballpoint pen, riptide, was. But it wasn't there. "Looking for something, Jackson" riley said. When Percy looked up riley was gone. In his place was Zoë nightshade "anaklumos"she said "the current that catches you by surprise, and before you know it you are out to sea." Then she changed, her face melting into riley's metal mask and without another word he walked into the big house.

Stunned Percy then went to check on Annabeth. (A.N. Annabeth and Percy are 21 and married and have a 13 month old daughter named sally.) (A.N. again I suck at coming up with names.) As he walked towards the cabin that the Hephaestus kids built for them. He knew something was wrong; there was a bunch of campers in front of the cabin. "What going on?" he asked. One of the campers stepped forward (an Apollo camper). "I'm sorry Percy, there's nothing we can do." "What do you mean, what's wrong?" "Its sally, she's sick, she will die in a couple months." Another camper walked over "go talk to Chiron; he might know what to do."

Riley was still there at the big house talking to Chiron when Percy got there. His mask was sitting on the table next to him and his cloak was folded up and on the table. A quiver full of arrows sat on the table also, but no bow. Riley had shoulder-length brown hair and bright blue eyes he was wearing blue jeans and a green shirt that had AVADA KEDAVRA! On it in big block letters .He had an unreadable expression on his face. His eyes burned with anger when he saw Percy. he got up picked up his things and walked towards the sword arena. When Percy explained the problem to Chiron he just sighed and said "well, if the Apollo campers can't do anything there's not much I can do…."

(a.n time jump 1 hour later)

Still nothing, if anything sallies's condition got worse. "I'm sorry Percy, but there is nothing I can do." Chiron said. Then His expression changed suddenly, as if he remembered something "yes there is nothing I can, but maybe he can…"
