Percy's PoV
"AHHH" I screamed.
"PERCY?" a voice said from close by said... Wait, hold up was that Thalia?
"Thalia?" I shouted over the noise of the wind in my ears.
"AWESOME!" said another familiar voice I was about to speak but Thalia beat me to it.
"Nico?" she yelled.
"That's me!" He replied as if we were not falling into darkness.
"What's goi-" I started but then...
THUD!
I landed in a straddle position on the hard floor facing the couch where Thalia and Nico landed. Not that it hurt after bathing in the Styx and stuff but still! Life Sucks!
"You have got to be kidding me!" I said. "You guys get a nice soft landing on the sofa whereas I land about two inches in front of it!"
Chuckling Nico replied "Thal and I are just cool that way! But surely you Perce, of all people, didn't find that excruciatingly painful."
I grunted in response which caused Thalia and Nico to smirk. Thalia smirk turned into a frown as she said " Where the heck are we?" Great question I thought as I looked around the room past the Gods and onto... Wait! The Gods?
"Eeep!" I said as I jumped up. Nico looked as if he was about to comment on my very feminine noise but when he noticed the Gods, and he too made a similar noise. Both Nico and Thalia jumped up off the couch and stood next to me in perfect unison. Together we stood facing a bunch of dumbfounded Gods, Chiron and some campers.
Zeus' PoV
The bright light disappeared and I saw 3 new figures, a boy and a girl, both wearing black had a appeared on the couch and another boy with messy black hair and green eyes was sitting on the foor in front of them. What in Hades name are these people and, more importantly, What do they think they are doing, appearing on Olympus, interrupting my speech that took me 2 hours to reherse!
"You have got to be kidding me!" The green eyed boy said. "You guys get a nice soft landing on the sofa whereas I land about two inches in front of it!"
Fair point I thought, but then I remembered I was furious with them and opened my moth to speak but the dark eyed boy interrupted me by saying
"Thal and I are just cool that way! But surely you Perce, of all people, didn't find that excruciatingly painful."
What the Heck is he talking about! How could that not be sore, that mere mortal should be in pain, unable to speak, with every bone broken in his body! There girl with bright blue eyes ooked ready to also comment on the matter, but at the last minute she appeared to change her mind and said instead
"Where the heck are we?"
I was about to tell them that they were in MY throne room and were to leave immediately unless they wanted certain death! But then I was cut out once again by the idiotic mortals when the green eyed boy finally noticed where he was and a name a noise similar to the ones I hear from Apollo when Artemis is mad at him. After a few seconds they noticed us and jumped up in surprise. Togher they stood facing the all powerful Zeus, the rest of his family, Chiron and a few of the campers.
No ones PoV
"Who are you?" Zeus boomed "I demand you tell me EXACTLY what you think your doing interrupting the Winter Solstice and the introducings of these campers!"
All the demigods cowered in fear and the blue eyed girl was about to reply when a large back packaged dropped out of nowhere and hit the green eyed boy on the head.
Completely forgetting the situation he said
"SERIOUSLY! Why in Hades does everything that is supposed to be painful and completely humiliating happen to me?"
Apollo, Hermes, Ares, Nico, Thalia and the twins from camp, looked like they were about to laugh but with one quick glance at Zeus's face , the quickly changed their minds.
"SILENCE MORTAL!" Once again Zeus boomed "I DEMAND YOU-"
"Perhaps we should have a look at the package first, this might be something important," Athena interrupted.
Zeus looked from the package to cowering Percy, to Athena then back again.
"Hermes!" Zeus ordered "As God of Messengers, go and open this package and report back what's in it!"
Hermes smartly obeyed and went over to the 3 demigods to pick up the package. He opened it up and inside was a note and a book.
"WELL?" Zeus said with a harsh tone still glaring at the mortals for interrupting his speech.
"Th-h-here is a n-n-note and a-a b-book" Hermes stuttered in fear.
"What are you waiting for then Hermes? Read it out!" in the same harsh tone.
"Dear Olympus and Apollo" Hermes began. "I am aware that your are completely shocked and in Zeus's case furious that 3 young people, well bar Nico he isn't that young, have interrupted this year's (well your years) Winter Solstice meeting and if I'm correct the beginning of the tour for some of the campers. Oh where to begin, ah I think I will start...here...no wait...here, yes here. These demigods are from the future and have recently ended the next big war, with hep of yours truly of course, I will let them handle the introductions, though I wish I was there to see your reactions, well technically i will be there but that's beside the point. These books will be of your future but at the same time, the demigods past. I am sure you will find these books truly fascinating and humorous however you must not try and change the future as it will all work out in the end. After you have read the first book, if you wish to continue, the next book will appear and so on and so forth, if not you shall return to whatever you were doing before and your memories will be modified. Do not, I repeat DO NOT do anything to harm the demigods or their parents after they are introduced or there will be Certain. Death, cue dramatic gasp from listeners. I hope you enjoy the books and get a good laugh, I certainly did!
Yours Awesomely, The one and only, all powerful, all mighty, God of the Sun, APOLLO!
Everyone's mouth was hanging open, including the 3 demigods. Athena was the first to speak
"Well this is truly amazing, we get to read into the future and learn all about what's going to come! I am for reading these books, this will be extremely benefitial! Zeus, you owe these demigods an apology, they didn't come here on their own account, it was infact Apollo who brought them here!"
Percy stared opened mouthed at Athena, this is probably the first, and only time Athena has been nice to me he thought to himself.
"Very well," Zeus muttered "I apologise."
Athena nodded in approval while Hades and Poseidon looked smug towards Zeus.
"Now! Introductions!" Athena said loudly.
The three demigods looked at each other, then together, Thalia and Percy pushed Nico forward.
"Hey!" Nico screeched "I am not going first! You do it Perce!"
"Ha Ha! You wish!" Percy said.
"Wait!" Thalia said before she dragged Nico and Percy into a private huddle. Together they agreed that Nico should not give away his parentage, Thalia wasn't going to say she was the lieutenant and that Percy should introduce himself first.
During the huddle some of the Gods and the Campers exchanged looks with each other.
Percy stepped forward and said
"Um..Yeah.. Hi! Im Percy Jackson" Poseidon's eyes widened and thought to himself Percy's only 10 right now! This cant be him! "Im 16 years old and Im.. well... Im a Son of... Poseidon."
After that all Hades broke loose:
The Campers were shocked
Zeus and Hades were furious
Poseidon was in deep thought
Percy was terrified
"YOU BROKE THE OATH!" Zeus and Hades yelled
After a moment of silence Poseidon replied "I UNDERSTAND YOUR ANGER HADES BUT ZEUS, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO IS TEMORARILY A TREE!"
At the comment, Thalia, Percy and Nico grinned to themselves, The other campers looked down, Zeus's expression softened a bit but Hades still looked furious.
"SILENCE!" Surprisingly Athena shouted over the fighting brothers "The letter from future Apollo warned us not to argue! So STOP fighting and let the other demigods introduce themselves!"
The brothers stopped fighting and returned to their thrones, Percy hastily went over and sat on the couch Thalia and Nico landed on and quickly sat down. Nico pushed Thalia forward who glared at him.
"I admire your courage Emo Boy!" She said while Nico smiled sheepishly back "I'm Thalia Grace, Daughter of Zeus" She finished quickly.
"BUT YOU'RE A TREE!" Hermes, Apollo, Ares and the rest of the Gods, bar Zeus yelled.
Meanwhile Annabeth fought the urge to run and attack Thalia with a hug let a out a silent sob and Zeus looked completely delighted and relieved that his daughter was alive!
"But..But..But how is that possible? I mean how did you turn back?" Zeus stammered
Thalia briefly explained missing out the bits with Annabeth and Luke, Zeus beamed at Percy.
Thalia flashed her dad a smile then sat down on the right of Percy. Nico hastily stepped forward and said
"Im Nico Di Angelo" Hades eyes widened in realisation "And, im very sorry, but I am not going to reveal my parentage, you will find out during the books"
Hades smiled gratefully at his son while the gods, Chiron and the campers looked disappointed. Nico went down and sat on the sofa to Percy's left.
"Thank You" Athena said "Now campers please introduce yourselves and take a seat either on the floor or the two remaining couches." The campers nodded and Chiron, in wheel chair form, wheeled over to beside the couches.
Two identical twins stepped forward and said in unison "Connor and Travis Stoll, Sons of Hermes" Hermes beamed at them as they went and sat down on one of the free sofas. A buff boy stepped forward next and said
"Charles Beckendorf, Son of Hephaestus" As he sat down next to the twins no one noticed the trio wince. Next a burly girl stepped forward and grunted
"Clarrise La Rue, Daughter of Ares" As she took a seat on the other free couch, Ares smiled and Nico winked at Percy who scowled in return. Again no one noticed the winces the trio gave as the next camper, Silena Beugaud was introduced. She took a seat next to Clarisse and next Chris took a seat on the floor in front of the boys couch. The last of the campers looked around shyly before introducing herself. She had blonde hair and intense grey eyes.
"Im Annabeth Chase, Daughter of Athena" Percy choked and everyone stared at him. Thalia and Nico frowned because of unknown reasons you're not allowed to know and the others had shocked and concerned expressions. Nico thumped Percy hard on the back.
"Something wrong there Perce?" He chuckled knowingly.
"N-n-nothing" Percy stammered "Just... Choked, that's all" Annabeth gave Percy an uncertain and scared look before going to sit down beside Silena.
"Hold up!" Ares said "We don't know what this book is actually called!"
"Oh yeah" said Hermes "It's called Percy Jackson and The Titans Curse, I wonder what it's about!"
At this Nico and Thalia burst into laughter and Percy had another choking fit. At first everyone looked totally bewildered but then it dawned on them that Percy Jackson was sitting in the room!
"Oh Yes!" Thalia said between laughs "We get to read about Percy's adventures and what he thinks about us!"
"More important what he thinks about-" Nico started
"SHUT UP it doesn't even happen in these books and you know it" Percy shouted and Nico and Thalia after that quieted a little bit.
"EEK!" Aphrodite squeaked "Do you have a girlfriend?" she asked excitedly.
"NO!" Percy said, a little too quickly.
"Yes he does!" Apollo said "Who's that special someone Percy?"
Percy turned scarlet as the campers chuckled.
"SILENCE!" Zeus boomed and immediately everyone shut up "I am sure we will find out during the books so Athena if you please, start reading"
"Chapter 1" Athena began "My rescue operation goes very wrong"
"Oh no!" Nico groaned, this time is was Percy's turn to laugh.
"Is little Niccy going to be embarrassed at his younger self's antics?" Thalia chuckled.
"Im just glad I won't be the only one getting teased!" Non surprisingly Percy said.
"Can we please continue with the book?" Hera asked.
"Yes, of course, Sorry" They mumbled as everyone else laughed.
