Here's a full summary because, well, just because:
Percy Jackson is having just another perfectly normal time away from camp; that is, if you define "normal" as having your cousin prophecy doom at your birthday party, blowing up a Driving Ed school, and accidentally giving Rachel a bloody nose. At camp, however, things are even worse. Mysterious deaths plague the campers with unease, and soon a familiar hero has to go on a quest to face death in its truest form, confront the Titan lord himself, and figure out the deadly secret of Kronos.
Flames will be sent to me, read by me, and received very well by me. They will also be ignored by me.
Disclaimer: (I have no clue why every one does this, but I'll do it anyways) I do not PJO, the characters, and probably not even the idea, which I'm trying to make as original as I can.
Chapter 1: My Cousin Ruins a Perfectly Good Birthday
" 'Come in for cake and ice cream' I said. 'I can tell we have a lot to talk about.' "
My mom was, of course, was surprised at first, but quickly turned to curious.
"Mom-Nico. Nico-meet my mom, Sally Jackson."
"Nice to meet you, Miss Jackson." Nico politely said, and though his voice didn't portray it, I could somehow tell that he was a little anxious.
I guess my mom could tell too, so once he finished eating, she left saying that she was letting us have a bit of time to talk.
After she left, Nico sighed.
"I guess this was a bad time to come. Sorry."
"Don't worry, it is fine." I replied, though it was true that he put a little bit of a damper on the day.
Nico then lowered his voice and leaned in a bit. "It's about Kronos, of course. Well, at least it must be. Had- my dad is having quite a time with the Underworld lately. Every one is restless, or at least more than usual. Spirits are disappearing and running amok around the country. Even monsters are leaving prematurely, in as little as an hour before they reform. It is almost like you are now face an endless supply of monsters. It is scary, to say the least. Even my dad is worried." He paused for a breath. "I know you can't help, but I think I know some people who can." When I stayed silent, he leaned in closer and said "I'm thinking of raising demigods and heroes from the dead. Ancient and recent. Think about it. an army of the greatest warriors."
I ran my hands threw my hair. All of this was a lot to take in on a birthday party.
"Then why are you telling me?" I questioned.
I could've sworn he smiled. "Well, you're the one in the prophecy right? You ought to know." And with that, a chasm opened in the ground, and he dropped down to the Underworld.
I know that chapter was sort of really short, but it was key to the plot. R&R! Don't kill me because this is my first fan fic!
