IMPORTANT NOTICE Please Read

Yo! ; D Anyway, I was just curious how it would be for Percy's gang to be teleported to another realm. Since Prince and the Princelets were so well received, I wanted to give you guys more.

This story, Enigma, is just for fun, using the same background from the ending of Prince. I HIGHLY recommend you guys reading Prince and the Princelets before this. It will be easier to understand if you do. ; ) Enjoy!

Thanks for giving it a try!

Chapter 1

Leo sighed and shook his head. "I can't figure it out. Either the Fates dropped it here to mess with us, or it's been here since the dawn of man."

I chuckled. "Being a little overdramatic on the last one, aren't you, Leo?"

He smirked. "Perhaps." He got up and dusted himself off. "Hand me that wrench, will you, Cally?"

I got him the wrench he was waving at. "Are your friends coming over to see this?"

Leo looked at me. "Calypso, I've made peace with Percy. I understand if you feel uncomfortable around him, but you have got to let that pass. He's been very nice to you, and he's sorry about his actions."

I nodded. "I just…" I sighed. "It's not that I'm uncomfortable, Leo…" I walked over to him. He wrapped his arm around me. "I just…" I stamped my foot. It was hard to get out. I wasn't very good at talking with people. Large groups still frightened the Hades out of me.

"Take you time, Cally."

I took a breath. "I'm afraid of being unjust to you. I'm a Titaness, Leo. I'm afraid…"

Leo smiled sadly at me. "That you'll fall in love with him again?" I nodded.

He sighed. "There's always that possibility, but remember this, I will always be here when you come back."

I looked at him, confused. He chuckled dryly. "Percy Jackson will never stop loving Annabeth Chase. I have no fear of you leaving me for him, for the very simple reason that she wouldn't stand for him leaving her."

I nodded. I had seen first hand just how close they were. They were like two bodies only using one soul.

Leo kissed me. "I don't doubt that you used to love him, but listen, you should view him as a brother."

I frowned in thought. "That's…reasonable." He kissed me again and focused his attention back on this mysterious machine.

"I wonder what this thing can do…"

POV Change – Annabeth

I sighed and leaned against Percy. I was tense. Percy chuckled. "Stop worrying."

"Worrying? Who's worrying? I'm just meeting the girl who came the closest to stealing my boyfriend away from me. I'm just meeting the girl who cursed me over said boyfriend! I'm just meeting the girl who possibly still holds some sort of attachment to my flippin boyfriend!"

Percy had the nerve to laugh. "She didn't come anywhere close. In fact, Rachel came the closest. And besides, Calypso only cursed you in a moment of despair. Imagine staying on an island for a millennia. She is now engaged to Leo Valdez." He frowned. "I'm not condoning her, Annabeth. I am merely explaining her actions. You shouldn't be so uneasy. If anything, you should be the most assured of the both of you."

I exhaled and snuggled into his side. "Okay. You're right."

He smiled. "Of course I'm right." I rolled my eyes but kissed him anyway.

POV Change – Percy

I sighed and watched the view, from outside the cab window, radically shift from concrete to nature.

It took a little while, but the cab finally arrived to the camp. We got out, assured the man that we were safe, and paid him.

Annabeth held my hand tightly. I stifled a chuckle. That would only get me a punch in the gut. Waving to the other campers, we quickly made our way to Bunker Nine. Nico and Will just solidified from the shadows as we walked up. Will looked a little pale. Nico looked fine. I chuckled.

"Go into the sunshine, Will. It'll help a lot."

He nodded and rushed shakily to the sunshine. Nico nodded to me. Things were still slightly awkward around us since his little 'you're brother is trying to brainwash you' speech, but I ignored that and smiled back. Will was fine with me. He didn't act insecure at all, which was a huge blessing from Aphrodite. Eros had left him alone.

Jason and Piper were already inside the Bunker. Hazel and Frank had arrived too. Thalia was chafing at the bit.

"Look guys, I left Lady Artemis in the middle of a hunt to see this! Can we get on with it, please?! She wants me back soon, and she also wants to know what going on."

Annabeth nodded. "Yeah, so does my mother."

I smiled. "Poseidon's interested too."

Clarisse scoffed. "What, are we all here as representatives for the Olympians?"

Annabeth nodded. "Zeus thought that the demigods would be less inclined to fight over this mysterious machine."

I looked around the room. Jason was for Zeus and Hera. Piper was from Aphrodite. Leo for Hephaestus. Hazel was from Hecate. Frank was for New Rome. Annabeth was from Athena.

Nico was for Hades. Will was for Apollo. Clarisse was for Ares. Thalia was Artemis'. I was from Poseidon, Hestia, and Camp Half Blood, which included Chiron and Mr. D, much to my displeasure. Grover was representing himself, the Elders, Demeter, and Persephone. The Stolls were the last of our little group. They represented Hermes. Calypso was just here to be with Leo.

I sighed. Fifteen people. "Everyone's here. Leo, can you please tell us what this thing is?"

Leo stood up and cleaned his hands, brushed himself off, and straightened his posture. He looked us all in the eyes one at a time. His face was serious. Extremely somber. Suddenly, he cracked a grim smile and shrugged. "I got no clue."

He sighed and leaned against it. We all tensed. Leo chuckled. "Relax guys. This thing doesn't have an on/off switch. It's probably voice activated."

Nico did a double take. "Then should we speak outside?!"

I nodded. "Yeah, Nico's right. Let's go outside."

Jason snorted. "Relax Percy, that thing probably died centuries ago."

Hazel frowned. "Then why does it look brand new?"

Jason frowned in confusion. Leo nodded. "My thoughts exactly."

Annabeth took a step closer. I mirrored her actions. I wasn't going to let anything happen to her. "I wonder…"

I sighed. "Guys, this is useless. Let's just report back to Olympus that this thing should be put in Hephaestus' scrap yard." Nico shuddered. I winced and sent him an apologetic look. He only nodded and turned away. Will looked confused. I shrugged and turned away too. It was Nico's to tell.

Shaking her head, Annabeth frowned. "No, we should do a more thorough examination."

Rolling my eyes, I turned away. "Hazel, want me to teach you more words?" Her eyes lit up.

Hecate noted that I was a prodigy in magic and asked Poseidon's permission to train me along with Hazel more extensively. Dad agreed. I learned the Greek language of Magic faster than Hazel did because of it's similarity with the language of the Sea.

Also, Night had already taught me the language, but I wasn't telling them that. I had later asked Night if training with Hecate was wise. Night just laughed and nodded, saying that it would double my learning and possibly give me an edge later on. I didn't exactly know what she meant by that, and she never explained.

Guys, if any of you read Prince, then this magic is exactly like what Night taught Percy. Also, I will be using the same language that I used in Prince.

As I've mentioned before, I highly recommend you guys reading Prince, and the Princelets, first before this story. : )

Also! One main reason that I wanted to write the sequel this way was that, in Prince, it was highly Percy centric. While it is still Percy centric, I will vacillate POVs between the different characters. I wanted to tighten the circle of Percy's friends again and put the gods, and Percy's godly family, aside for now.
