Chp-1(The Lady on the beach)
{This happens after the Titan war II and before the Heroes of Olympus, when Percy rejects the offer of immortality and Annabeth is assigned as the official architect of Mount Olympus.}
Percy and Annabeth were sitting on the beach, near the shore. It was evening and Percy was staring along the wide horizon, orange and tinted with red, wondering how is Poseidon, his dad, the sea god. Annnabeth had just returned from the archery practice with Chiron and found Percy sitting on the beach. She was just going to address him when they heard a distinct voice call,
'Percy? Annabeth?'
'Yeah?' Percy answered turning back.
It was Nico, the son of Hades. He had grown up in the last few months and was starting to look really handsome. He was dressed in all black and his hair was messed up. He had his sword in his hand and it looked like someone had interrupted him in his practice. He was wearing a smile on his face.
'Well, Chiron wanted to talk to you and Annabeth says he has some work you guys.' Nico said.
'Alright, can you tell him we`ll be there in like, 5 minutes?' Percy requested.
'Sure.' Nico replied as he hurried off towards the camp.
Percy stared Nico until he was out of sight and that was when he realized that Annabeth was looking at him. She looked really worried and her beautiful grey eyes were full of concern.
'You okay?' She asked him taking his hand.
'Yeah, Tyson had visited and he was telling that dad is distressed. Due to the pollution the sea animals and monsters are dying at an accelerated rate.' He said resting his head on her lap.
'Its fine, Percy. I`m sure your dad will handle it. Don`t worry.' Annabeth assured him stroking his hair.
'I hope so. Let`s get going. Chiron will be waiting for us.' He said getting up and taking her hand.
'Okay.' Annabeth said.
And that was when they saw that a lady was watching them carefully, like she was anticipating each and every one of their moves, analyzing them and deciding how to kill them or defeat them. She looked normal and was dressed in jeans and a shirt but one look at her and you knew that she was no normal being.
She came closer and they saw that her eyes were storm grey, just like Annabeth`s.
'Mom?' Annabeth asked.
'Yes, my child. I have to say it though your work at Olympus was incredible. All the statues of the gods and goddesses were beautiful. I liked the plan also, very thoughtful.' Athena said.
Annabeth`s cheeks were flushed and she answered shyly, 'Thank you mom. But I was wondering what brings you here?'
She laughed and replied 'I know your curiosity, my dear. It has been a long time since I have talked to one of my children in person, because Zeus had forbidden it. But this is different, I have a special work for you.'
'What would you like me to do, mom?' Annabeth said.
'Oh, I have a quest for you, my child' Athena answered back.
