Chapter 1
Carter POV
I have been in the best mood in the world for the past eighteen months. Why? Because exactly eighteen months ago Zia agreed to marry me. And we were getting married in one week. Yesterday I was in my bedroom in the First Nome when a boy's face appeared in the air. "Percy." I said, "How have you been?" I hadn't talked to the guy for a year and a half. His face turned pale and he shivered, "Fine, but I have been thinking that it's time." I understood what he meant. He wanted to bring the two worlds together. "Okay," I said, "Tomorrow bring anyone you want to know about this to the 21st Nome. It's about time I paid my sister a visit anyway." He nodded his face still pale. "Percy?" I asked, "What exactly happened to you?" he shook his head and disconnected. I ran to find Zia. She had to know more than anyone. I wasn't planning on keeping secrets when we were married. I interrupted her talking to Amos about something that was probably important, but I didn't care. "Zia," I said, "We have to go to the 21st Nome now." Both Zia and Amos looked at me confused and Zia asked, "Why Carter?" I shook my head, "No time to explain. Be back in a couple days Amos." Zia followed me to the spot for the portal and in a minute we were on the roof of the 21st Nome. Sadie was there having a picnic with Walt. "Carter?" Sadie asked, "What's going on?" I smiled and laughed, "Some old friend of ours are coming to visit." She smiled.

Percy POV
After I hung up with Carter I ran to find Annabeth. She was in her cabin. I knocked on the door and Annabeth's brother Malcolm opened it. He didn't say a word to me he just turned around and yelled into the cabin, "Annabeth your boyfriend is here." She walked to the door and smiled at me, "Yes Percy?" I smiled, "We have some old friends to visit tomorrow." Her smile fell, "But Percy only you, me, and Thalia know about our old friend." I nodded, "I talked to him today and he agreed with me that it is time." She sighed, "fine, but if this starts another war it's your fault." It was meant as funny, but neither of us took it that way. We hadn't been the same since we fell. I grabbed her hand to remind myself that we were out of there. To tell myself we were safe. Her expression softened, "Percy it's okay we are safe now." I nodded and walked away. I had to find Chiron to tell him that we were taking a field trip tomorrow.

Sadie POV
Well I had just been having a picnic with Walt when my annoying brother shows up. Somehow my first thought was why did he care if his twenty two year old sister is having a picnic with her boyfriend. But I quickly realized that wasn't why he was here. Then he mentioned old friends coming to visit and I lit up. Old friends could only mean Annabeth and Percy. Although I didn't have as much time to get to know them as Carter did I still thought of them as friends. "That's amazing," I said. Both Walt and Zia looked very confused. "Yes," Carter agreed, "It's awesome. I hated keeping a secret from you Zia." He said turning to his fiancée. "Secret?" she asked sounding hurt, "How long have you been keeping secrets from me?" Carter paled, "Zia I wanted to tell you. Sadie found out a little over a year ago. I promise you will like it." She got angrier, "How long?" Carter developed a sudden interest in his shoes so I answered for him, "Ten years." "What!" Zia screamed, "I can't believe you Carter." My brother looked ashamed, "I wanted to tell you, but I made an oath not to." He said. "Fine," she decided, "This better be good". I smiled, "Percy and Annabeth are awesome you'll see."

Annabeth POV
Percy began to walk away and I ran after him. "Hey," I said, "We're a team remember." He smiled and we walked to the Big House together. We walked right into Chiron's office without knocking. "What's wrong?" he asked. I smiled, "Oh nothing Percy and I were just wondering if we could borrow one of the vans tomorrow to take the seven and Nico on a little field trip." He raised an eyebrow, "May I ask why?" I smiled, "We feel like everyone has been overtired recently and they need a little break." He sighed, "Alright you may borrow one of the vans." Percy and I walked outside to the lake and sat down. "Annabeth?" he asked, "Are you ready to talk about it." Both of us understood what it was. It was Tartarus. I nodded, "The Kane's need to know. We have to be ready."
