Grover's pov:

I was sitting down at camp half blood feeling very worried. The prophecy members were MIA and we knew nothing except they were in Rome and war might be coming. We knew all they members of the seven and all that, but we were still limited. We dint even know if any of our friends were badleyy injured or... dead.

I must have had a pretty od expressing on my face because when Thalia looked my way, her eyes furrowed into a frown and she came and sat next to me.

"Hey groves" she said.

"Hi"I said "why are you over here?"

She rolled her eyes, "I don't need to be able to read emotions to see that something is wrong. What's up? Thinking about..." she didn't have to finish her sentence. I knew what she was talking about. I nodded absently.

She said, "I have been thinking about it some too."

I must have looked surprised because she chuckled. I just hadn't thought of her to be the one to think that. I sensed loneliness and worry on her, just like all the other campers. The fire burned dull gray and was barely 3 feet high. Everyone was tense and worried.

"Why are you lonely?" I asked

She sighed, "I just really miss Annabeth. And Percy. And Jason. And piper. And Leo. And-"

"We get it." I said with a smile.

She grinned back. "So... you gonna make some deep physiological quote to make me feel better or ask for my apple?"

We both burst into laughter. Years ago at Yancey Academy, Percy had been talking about me with his problems with Mr. Brunner (aka Chiron) and when he finished, I asked for his apple. Later, he had told me he had expected me to make some deep thought comment before I said that. I had told Thalia and ever since it had been a funny joke between us.

Once we stopped our hysterical laughter (which had drawn odd stares form many campers) we began to talk about things. Our current problem, the quest, stuff like that.

A little while later, there was a flash of bright light. Sitting on the podium was... a box?

Chiron poked confused and trotted over. He pulled off a note and read it:

dear campers and other people,

We understand that you are worried about your demigod friends (at least SOME of you are friends with them) on their quest. This is a story about their quest you can read to find out what is happening. So you won't be confused, here is a summary of what is happening so far:

Annabeth Chase is on a quest to find the Athena Parthenon. So far she was been attacked by ghost, broken her ankle, been chased across a chasm by an army of spiders, and has faced Arachne. She defeated the spider by tricking her into weaving herself into her own trap and unnerving the statue. The monster was about to break through when the Argo the second used a ballistae to blow a hole through the ceiling. This is what happens next.

When you finish this book please place it in the woods where it will be devoured by hungry monsters in search for food with ALOT of fiber. Happy reading!

-the fates and Apollo: the awesomest *thunder* OK second awesomest god ever

everyone gasped and started commenting:

"she FOUND the Athena Parthenon?"

"BEST... ATHENA... CHILD... EVER!"

"BALLISTAE!"

"Shut it Clarisse!"

"Quiet!" Chiron stamped his foot and everyone quieted down. "We need to read this and find out what happens!"

Everyone nodded in agreement and quieted down.
