War of the Gods: The Quest Begins

Introduction: Previously, on War of the Gods

PERCY

Camp Half-Blood has gotten a new camper, a seven feet tall guy named James. But James is no ordinary camper. Instead of being the son of a Greek god like the rest of us, James is a Nephilim, half human, half angel. This news struck camp like a lightning bolt. Until he showed up, we had never even considered the possibility of angels. If that wasn't bad enough, his appearance was soon followed by the appearance of a mist-shrouded figure foretelling doom and destruction for everyone. So, following the words of a prophecy, Jason, the son of Jupiter, James, and I are going on a quest, along with an Egyptian sorcerer named Carter, who I had met once before.

CARTER

A little over a month ago I encountered a boy named Percy who had a magical sword and crazy water powers. When we parted ways I drew a hieroglyph on his hand so he could call me when he needed me. Since then me and my sister Sadie have been trying to find out more about him and his fellow "campers". We discovered that they were really the children of the Greek gods, which conquered Egypt centuries ago. After an encounter with a fog-covered shadow man I felt Percy activating the hieroglyph, calling me to his aid. I am coming to help, even though I have no idea what may be in store for me when I get there.
