This is a story I thought of after reading another fan fiction but I decided to twist it up hope you like it.

He ran outside of his cottage ready to play and face the world, happy that his 8th birthday had just past without any attacks. Living in his world was dangerous with dragons always looming overhead but the recent order by the king ended their threat. Sending them hiding and almost extinct he was happy. He ran out of his foster house and into the grassy field and just enjoying life. But he stopped when he found something astonishing lying in the grass.

A very young dragon was asleep in the grass and the young boy froze, terrified of what would happen. He crouched down and then placed his hand on the side of the young dragon and it stirred. Lifting his head slightly it looked up at him terrified if he would do anything and the boy just stared at him.

"Nico!" the old man yelled.

He came running up to Nico wondering what he had found out in the field and stopped cold when he found out.

"Nico, bring him to the house he's hurt, I'll get some things ready." the old man said.

Nico slowly pulled the creature up and as he did so it morphed into a young boy about his age. He had blonde shaggy hair and bright blonde eyes, still with the look of pain on his face, Nico shouldered him and walked slowly back. Once to the house the old man had laid out a bed for the young dragon and Nico laid him down on it. The old man worked for an hour on the young dragon until he was satisfied and relaxed.

"Can you tell us your name, my young dragon." he asked.

"Will." the dragon said.

"Do you remember how you got here?"

"Its all fuzzy, I remember running from my home at my parents orders and falling from exhaustion."

"The king's raid." the old man said.

He looked off for a second deep in thought and Nico wondered what he was thinking about and then looked over at Nico.

"Nico I need to speak with you in private, Will you rest."

He lead him off into his study and pulled the oldest book he had from his shelf and brought it down.

"My boy do you know what Will is?"

"Yeah he is a dragon."

"Yes but more importantly he is a very rare Phoenix that explains his ability to transform but he is also very powerful despite his age. The king would have anything than to enslave him for his power so we must keep him a secret."

"Why?"

"He is directly connected to your parents, my boy. He is the way to find out who you truly are."

"Do you know who they are or what I am."

"Who they are I haven't a clue but I know what you are and if Will's appearance says anything he is the key."

There was a large banging on the door and Nico looked over and saw two of the King's top Knights and the old man froze. He quickly put the book in a bag with a few other things and gave them to Nico.

"Run and get Will and meet me out by the waterfall in the forest and do not trust anyone or let Will revert back to himself until I return, Go now."

Nico didn't understand he just did what the man told him to do. He ran and got Will and dragged him out of the house and over to the woods. Once on the edge he looked back at the house to see it burning and soldiers ransacking the property. Will was still tired and was leaning heavily on Nico. He looked through the bag and found a note with a letter. The note read:

Nico, go to the next town and find a Sally Jackson she will help you hide from the King's forces. Go there and stay put my boy I will find you. Give her the letter in your bag once you get to her she will know what to do then.

He folded the note and put it in his pocket and grabbed Will slinging his arm over his shoulders supporting him. They began to slowly walk in silence and Nico was not really in a mood for talking.

"Who was that old man?" Will asked.

It was the first thing Will and said since finding him in the field a few hours ago.

"My guardian Chiron."

"He seemed familiar."

"He did for me when I first met him but over time I just ignored it. Weird that we both had the same first impression." I said.

Will didn't respond but he managed to finally start walking for himself and I straightened back up. We started to walk in silence again but this time it wasn't awkward and I looked around at the forest. Chiron had told me of the old stories in how the dragons would use these forests as homes and protect the local towns form invaders with the help of people.

"You know Chiron use to tell me stories about the dragons and I always thought they weren't real." I said.

"Did you really because I grew up with dragons, at least until the raid happened."

"We don't need to talk about it because I think we are almost there."

The village came into view and a very large house off to the side was clearly visible and there was a woman outside attending her garden. We walked up trying to seem inconspicuous and ask her for directions.

"Excuse me miss were looking for a Sally Jackson." I said.

"Well I do believe you have found her." she said.

"The man I was living with told me to give you this."

I handed her the letter and she opened it and read. As she did her expression hardened and she would occasionally look at us. When she finally finished reading she folded the letter and looked at us.

"I completely understand and don't worry about Chiron he'll find his way here eventually."

I said nothing and then a few other children came running out of the large house all looking my age. The black haired boy came up to the woman and grabbed at her legs.

"Mommy who are those two."

"Percy be polite and this is Nico and Will, they are just like you."

He lit up at that, "Really you found them?"

"Yes now go and play with Will I need to talk to Nico."

Percy grabbed Will and all of them took off towards the woods and morphed into dragons and took off. Sally led me to the kitchen of the house and sat me down while making me a sandwich in the process.

"Did Chiron ever tell you the story?" she asked.

"No."

"Well its time you heard it."

She set the plate in front of me and I ate while she pulled up a chair, apparently this was a long story.

"Long ago the dragons protected mankind from all those who would do us harm and we were all ruled over by the phoenix gods. Then came the King who challenged the gods and their dragon followers, soon mankind turned on the dragons and forced them out. Realizing their doom the gods sent their children into the world to be protected and grow. Each god had a child that was sent out with a protector but slowly each one was found and was forced to flee while their protector went down fighting.

The King hunts for them relentlessly but they always escape his grasp and hidden away again. All of the children you saw were those children, heir to the gods that have fallen and I am now the only remaining protector out of the King's grasp. Eleven of the twelve have been found but the one of the god of death is impossible to find and many believe he is lost and the battle futile. For without him the King is unstoppable, but some hold on to hope that he is still out there."

"Who are the children?" I asked.

"There is my son Percy, son of Posiedo, Annabeth daughter of Athene, Jason son of Zeu, Leo son of Heaphetu, Zoe daughter of Artemi, Will son of Apollu, Frank son or Are, Piper daughter of Aphrodi, Castor son of Diosuiy, Conner and Travis sons of Herme, and then the son of Hade."

"Who's that?"

"That Nico is the mystery that will solve everything."
