Set after sea of monster Annabeth and Percy go on a quest with Thalia where they come across help from a demigod none have met before. This demigod has a secret only the gods know. Can they work together? How does this change things? Who is she?
Chapter 1
Annabeth could not believe it, she had Thalia back. The Golden Fleece saved her... Percy seemed to get along fine with her even though she knew that Chiron was worried about them considering who their parents were and the rivalry but so far all was fine. Annabeth had spent the last week and a half bringing Thalia up to date on everything she had missed and the two of them were training together. Annabeth was currently in the arena sparring with Percy.
"Your head's not in it wise girl." Percy comments managing to disarm her but did not land a blow on her as her reflexes saved her.
"Sorry, just thinking over everything." Annabeth replied picking up her sword.
"Want to talk about it?" Percy asked but she could tell he did not really want to.
"Not here to talk." She said getting in her ready stance he followed suit until they started another fight. This time she managed to disarm him. They continued this back and forth sparing Percy being able to hold his own against Annabeth but she still ended up winning over all.
"We should be heading back, it is lunch soon." He stated and she nodded she had to go and get her siblings while he went straight to the pavilion. He met up with Thalia on the way. "Hey." He smiled at her
"Hey." She replied
"How was your archery lessons?" He asked
"Not as bad as yours." She replied
"No way, who told you?"
"Everyone. You are fall to guy, you can't be as bad as Percy they told me."
"Were you?"
"No." Thalia replied with a small smile as Percy groaned. They ended up separating as they went to their tables as the other campers made their way in. He met Annabeth's gaze as she led her siblings to their table and they smiled with each other before one of her brothers blocked his view.
As they sat their eating lunch Percy was surprised that a nymph came over to him.
"Chiron wants you." She said before walking off causing him to sigh he got up and moved towards the exit sort of surprised that Annabeth and Thalia were coming also. Looks like he wants them all it must be serious he thought. They walked in silence as they made their way to the big house.
"Good the three of you came, you have been granted a quest." Chiron stated jumping right in. Percy looked at Annabeth who seemed surprised but slowly grinned as she looked from him to Thalia who was also grinning.
"What do we need to do?" Annabeth asked
"You need to locate the Spear of Achilles."
"Spear of Achilles?" Percy asked to make sure he had heard correctly, they were on the brink of war and they wanted them to locate a spear from a hero long gone.
"Yes."
"Why?" Percy asked but looked down when he got a pointed look from Chiron.
"Do we have any idea where it might be? I mean they have moved around a lot since they were in Greece. Do we even know if it still exists?"
"It still exists the importance of you three finding it..." Chiron stopped himself with a sigh
"It is said that on the shaft is a hidden message, is that true?" Annabeth asked but Chiron gave her a look one that meant he could not answer.
"Okay, we will get ready to go, any hints of where we can start looking?" Percy asked but again it was clear Chiron could not answer so Annabeth ended up leading them out.
"Where are we going?" Percy asked
"We can ask someone who might know." She said leading them towards the infirmary. Thalia shared a look with Percy but he only shrugged picking up his pace so he could keep up with her.
"Will, we need to talk." She said after finding him with one of his siblings.
"Annabeth what can I do for you?" He asked moving away from them making them follow behind him.
"Need information, you helped out Clarisse on a location can you help us."
"You have a quest?" He asked stopping what he was doing giving them his attention.
"Yes, if we wanted help locating an old relic?"
"I would have to ask what type of relic?"
"A weapon of a fallen hero."
"How old?"
"Really old." Percy said making Annabeth and Will look at him.
"How long do you have?"
"We leave in half an hour." Annabeth said she picked up on Chiron's urgency.
"You heading into New York?" He asked
"Yes."
"Then I tell you to go to this address ask for Sam, tell her that I sent you and that you require her assistance." Will said writing down an address and handing it to Annabeth. "If you can convince her to help you, you will be in good hands." Will said looking at them before her was called off to help an injured camper.
"Go get what you need. We leave in half an hour." Annabeth said looking at Percy and Thalia both of them nodded and walked off to their cabins grabbing what they will need for the quest.
Annabeth met them at the hill where they walked together leaving camp heading for the car where they would be dropped off in the city. Percy shared a look with Annabeth thinking of their last quest and their journey to the sea of monsters, he was hoping they wouldn't end up in a place like that.
They did end up going to the address that Will gave them, they had to start somewhere and if this Sam could help... Annabeth was the one that was leading them, she was surprised that the address they were given was to a skyscraper.
"What is this building?" Thalia asked she was still playing catch up from the things she missed when she was a tree.
"A building firm, architects, designers."
"And an engineering department. Not many kids come in here." A voice stated behind them making them turn around to see a teenager with tanned skin, brunette hair and hazel eyes. "So why are you here?" She asked
"Why are you here?" Percy shot back something about her unnerved him. She tilted her head to the side as she looked him over and it took all his effort to not move as it seemed she was analysing him.
"I work here, you do not. So again I ask why are you here?" She asked turning from him looking over Annabeth and Thalia her attention always went back to Annabeth.
"We are looking for someone." She said
"Clearly, who maybe I can help?"
"Sam, a friend of ours sent us."
"Sam got a last name?" She asked
"We weren't given one, Will didn't tell us."
"This is a very big building do you know how many Sam's work here?"
"No."
"Me neither. So you should go, get a last name then maybe I can help."
"We don't have time, it is you we are looking for will you help us? Will said you can help us?" Annabeth stated making the others look at her then back at the girl who was wearing a small smirk.
"Follow me." She said leading them into the building up the elevator to the 17 floor and into an office.
"Just who are you?" Percy asked
"As your friend here figured out I am Sam, then again considering whose daughter you are I am not surprised you figured it out." She said sitting at a desk.
"Will is your half brother, you are a daughter of Apollo?" Thalia stated catching up with Annabeth who discovered it before.
"A demigod, out here? How?"
"Not everyone stays at camp." Sam said
"Yes but how have monsters not been an issue."
"They tend to stay clear, now why has Will sent you to me?"
"He said you could help. We are on a quest."
"Obviously." Sam stated leaning back in the chair looking bored
"He said you can help us find something, a relic of sort."
"Did he now? What type of relic?"
"An old weapon of a fallen hero."
"How old?"
"Trojan war old." Annabeth replied
"Tell me you are not looking for Odysseus's bow?"
"No, not that."
"Then what?"
"The spear of Achilles."
"Spear of Achilles." Sam repeated slowly. "Sorry can't help you." She said "I can offer you transport back to camp but other than that..."
"You know where it is?" Annabeth asked seeing something in her eyes, she was trying to brush them off, why didn't she want them to go?
"It is a fool's errand, they send you there you will die. Some advice go back to camp, train some more you don't want that spear." She said moving over to the book shelf
"We will find it one way or another, now you can help us by telling us where it is, why won't you help us? We have been sent by the gods. A war is brewing all demigods will be called to fight. This spear can help us. It could save lives." Annabeth stated
"War? Not my concern."
"It will be, Kronos is rising, you are a demigod." Percy stated he could not understand why she was not wanting to help.
"The spear has been split in two pieces, the first piece is in the forest of despair, the second is somewhere within the Rocky Mountains."
"Where is the Forest of Despair?" Percy asked
"In the Yellow Stone National park. A monster hunting ground."
"We faced those kind of odds before." Percy stated
"Traveling to the sea of monsters. This time however you won't be in your element. Which of you knows how to move through a forest undetected? Climb mountains without falling or freezing?"
"We will manage, can you tell us where in the yellow stone national park?" Annabeth asked
"You really are going through with it?"
"Yes."
"Then you will need some things." Sam said pressing a button under the desk and the wall to their left opened up, it was filled with everything you will need on a quest. She grabbed some rope, two lantern looking things, a blanket and three jackets.
"A blanket? Really?"
"This blanket will come in handy, see." Sam wrapped herself in the blanket and she disappeared.
"An invisibility blanket cool." Percy grinned
"It blends in with any background. When you find the shaft, place it in this." Sam said handing Annabeth a small container.
"Why?"
"Just do it. Now you need to pay attention I am about to give you some very vital information that could save your life."
"You should just come with us." Percy stated making Sam stop she was talking to Annabeth giving her a run down on what to expect and where to go.
"I really shouldn't." Sam stated shaking her head.
"You should, you know what to suspect. And it would be good to have an extra set of eyes. Please would you consider coming?" Percy asked making both Thalia and Annabeth look at him he could only shrug at them he didn't know why he asked he just felt like she should come. Like they were meant to come here to her and she would help.
"Consider it considered. No I won't come. You should get going you looked like you were in a hurry." Sam stated sharing a look with Annabeth before leaning back against her desk, Annabeth noted the blueprints and designs part of her was curious as to why she had them. Annabeth looked from her to Percy she could see that he really believed that she should come and sighed before turning back to Sam.
