Chapter One

Percy

Hanging out with Paul Blofis (or "blowfish", as Tyson calls him) isn't really that exciting. He likes to text on his iPhone 4 and he never gets my attention. Today was Valentine's Eve and I was hoping to ask Annabeth to the fireworks at camp.

"Percy?" My mom asked. I didn't care, Annabeth was here. I opened my apartment door and Annabeth was holding a dead corpse of some familiar person.

Octavian was standing at her side, with a tortured teddy bear in one hand and a knife in the other.

"Is that..." I choked. There was a long moment of silence. "Luke? Yes, Percy. I dug it out last night but Octavian found me and almost killed me for no reason!" Annabeth screamed.

Octavian growled. "Do you know who this is?! Do you know who I am Percy? Who I really am? He might be a son of Hermes, and i'm a son of Apollo, but we got separated. My name is Octavian Castellian."

I couldn't believe it. Luke and Octavian are brothers. I thought he was joking but he sounded serious.

"Do you know why Luke was a son of Hermes? Hermes didn't claim him, Luke was never even claimed. You might ask me why he didn't get claimed by Apollo. He was cursed. No, not Kronos, Agnostos Theos cursed him. He was the Greek God of the unknown. The Curse of Agnostos can be done by Agnostos Theos himself or by jumping in the River Lethe, which will also wipe out your memory. Agnostos caused Kronos to die, not you Annabeth. Agnostos touched him with River Lethe water, and then you told him what to do."
