Percy opened his eyes to find Thalia staring at him. He jumped back and rubbed his eyes. Looking around, he noticed he was in the sword arena. "I was just . . . tired." He protested. Thalia rolled her eyes. "Jason's coming! With Frank and Hazel." "Jason?" "My brother! Roman demigod. Remember him?" "Oh yeah." Percy nodded. He got up and went to change.
Annabeth sighed in relief as Percy came out again in clean clothes. "You're the leader; you have to look the part." Percy grinned, and watched Leo and Piper come down. "Jason's coming!" She exclaimed. Leo nodded and went to go stand next to Thalia. Soon, kids in purple shirts came into view. Jason led them, with Frank and Hazel. "Hey Percy." He said when they reached them. "Hey Jason." They shook hands. "Hey Nico," said Percy, nodding at him. "Come on in, we have lots to discuss," Chiron said as he trotted over to them.
Percy, Annabeth, Leo, Piper, Jason, Frank, and Hazel went into the war council. Thalia had to leave, to join up with the Hunters. "I just came back to see my brother." She explained as she hugged Jason goodbye, and waved to everyone else.
Chiron cleared his throat, and nervously looked at all of them. "Well, we have an issue arising. Something bad is happening, something's about to erupt. And all I know is that it's going to be a million times worse than we can imagine." Percy and Jason glanced at each other. "The gods and goddesses wished me to tell you that you're not alone." Annabeth frowned. "It's not just Greeks and Romans, I mean." "Wait," Leo cut in, "What else is out there?" Chiron took a deep breath. "The Egyptians and their gods."
