Chapter 1
The summer after the war Percy and Annabeth were going back to camp. It was a surprising year at school as neither Percy nor Annabeth had any run-ins with monsters so they were looking forward to a peaceful summer together at camp, but this summer would be like all the rest. Chiron was there greeting the campers as they came over to Thalia's tree on the top of the hill. Camp Half-Blood was not your average camp, it is where kids go when they have an Olympian god as one parent and a mortal parent too. Percy was the son of Poseidon and Annabeth of Athena. Together they have been through much and grown on each other but the adventure they face will even test their bond.
Chiron said "Percy, Annabeth how have ya'll been its great to see you again glad you are still alive."
"It has been a great year with Annabeth in New York near me. Speaking of which you should see the designs she has for Olympus. The construction is underway I cannot believe the things that comes out of her head… a daughter of Athena for ya." Said Percy, Annabeth punches Percy's arm.
"Olympus is coming ok still has so much work to be done I am trying to use the most beautiful designs from all of nations that have come and gone. I am trying to use mostly Greek structures but also Roman and Spanish and French designs." said Annabeth. Chiron laughs and says "Something's never change" Percy is thinking why did I have to mention that it will be three weeks before she stops. Right after that Mr. D the camp director walks up and ask "What the hell are you two doing standing there, both you move along and get settled in and start your activities." So Percy and Annabeth move along to see if they can find old friends. The first two people they find are Connor and Travis Stoll who are sons of Hermes and good friends of ours. They came up to us and asked "How was your summer"
We both told them "That it was great, but was weird that we didn't have any problems with monsters." They said the same thing but thought nothing of it. So Percy and Annabeth went on their way and greeted the rest of their friends. They were surprised when they didn't see Nico but thought nothing of it and went on their way. By the time dinner came around everyone was talking about how their year was monster free most thought it was because of the Great War was over. Little did they know that the underworld was in rebellion and greater forces were at work. After a great supper Percy and Annabeth went to the beach to get a little alone time together.
Percy looked into Annabeth's grey eyes and saw how much love she had for him and he told her "I have never loved you more than now you know that wise girl." Annabeth looked at him and started laughing at him. Percy looked hurt and she told him he had some leftovers from the meal on his face. Then told him "Told you I am never going to make it easy on you seaweed brain" then they moved into kiss. After a long kiss and just hanging out at the beach the horn sounded for bed so Percy walked Annabeth to her cabin and kissed her good night. Then he went off to his cabin for another lonely night because he is the only son of Poseidon.
In the morning Percy meet Annabeth and they went to breakfast which is where everything started to go wrong. There standing next to the fire was Rachael Dare the new oracle. She had a new mission for Percy and Annabeth and the prophecy was "North and South East and West Far you must go to become the best six on the journey two stay back the rest face a perilous attack only the strong survive the rest never some back."
Everyone was quit and Percy and Annabeth stared at each other for awhile after a long pause Percy said to Annabeth "There is no way on earth I am letting you come this time we have been through so much but this time there is no way." Annabeth took a deep breath and said "Percy I care about you too much to let you go alone I mean someone has to watch your back."
Percy knew he wasn't going to win so he gave in and agreed to come the only other people willing to go on the quest were Connor and Travis who wanted a new experience and thought this was a great opportunity. Also Clarisse and Chris were the other two who were going they have become inseparable and do everything together. So at this point everyone is confused because the prophecy is given but there are no problems that are present to the party agree that they will get ready and wait for the time that the prophecy happens.
So a month passes and still nothing new Percy and Annabeth are enjoying their time together even though every once in awhile she leaves to go work on Olympus. So this is one of those days that Annabeth is gone and Grover is away with Juniper in the woods. Percy is just on the beach relaxing and wondering when Annabeth is coming back when out waters mist Percy gets an iris message from an old friend Nico. Nico is the son of Hades and didn't come to camp this year which surprised Percy considering that he now had a place but Percy found out why. Nico looked aged and battle warn and when he realized that Percy saw him he told him "Percy listen closely we need help an underworld rebellion has started and we don't know why the spirits have found the bones they left and are returning to fight me and my father." He caught his breath then continued "Most of the spirits are gathering in the far corners of the world the place where the strongest powers meet we need your help to go and tell us what is going to at these places." Percy was stunned but knew he had to help to he nodded his head and ran to get his party and tell them and Chiron what he was told. They were all surprised because they thought for sure they would have heard something about that but it all comes together that's why the monsters are gone they are defending Hades from the spirits. Chiron is the first to break the silence and he said "Ok well I think you all need to get ready and prepare for your journey." Then Percy said "I want to leave now without Annabeth it is too dangerous for her if anything were to happen to her I would die." Chiron laughs and says "Ah young love the best there is." Percy blushes and says "Come on this is not the problem but she is away and we need to act now." Chiron responds "Yes we do need to act now but this quest was assigned to both of you so she has to go sorry Percy this one is unavoidable." Percy understands but is not happy so he and the rest go and prepare for the trip. Annabeth returns in the middle of the next day she is completely drained so they agree to tell her the next day after she wakes. Percy and Chiron are taking and they were able to discover the four points where the world meets is actually former important nations so there is Greece the Romans the Mayans and the Australian empires. In Greece the place is in Sparta. In the Roman Empire it was where its capital was which is now presently called Rome, Italy. The Mayans were in the forest in South American. And the Australian empire is in the great outback were the journey there will be the easiest thought Percy that's a travel over water where he has learned to master his powers even more.
