Now then, let's get this story started!

Prologue-A Series of Weird Events-Winter Solstice-directly after the events of the Sea of Monsters

Hestia POV

I quietly observed from the heart as the gods argued, yet again. They had not even reached the set points of discussion and it was 3 HOURS into the meeting. It was all the usual as well. Hera yelling at Zeus about his youngest children. Poseidon yelling at Zeus about who mother Rhea liked best and whether air disasters were more dangerous than sea disasters, etc, etc, etc. Apollo was spouting bad haikus, claiming to be older than Artemis and talking about flirting with her hunters while dodging and blocking arrows aimed at his groin. Hephaestus and Ares were having a tug-of-war contest over Aphrodite, Athena was yelling at Poseidon over Medusa and Athens, while Dionysus was getting yelled at by Demeter over cereal. Meanwhile Hermes was talking to his rats as Hades moaned about all the deaths that this argument was causing down in the mortal world and something about pay raises?

I put my head in my hands and moaned-who knew gods could get migraines? Suddenly everyone went quiet. I looked up as a beam of light descended to the ground. It collided with ground in a great flash as we all turned away, blinded. We suddenly turned back to see some demigods moaning.

"Gods above, my head hurts-where are we anyway" spoke a black-haired demigod I recognised as Percy Jackson while others clutched their heads.

"Percy? What are you doing here?" Questioned Poseidon slowly.

"What do you mean? Didn't you summon us?" Answered a girl, who I also recognised. Zoë Nightshade, Daughter of Atlas and Lieutenant of the hunt. For some reason she was holding Percy's hand.

"No we did not. Percy are you okay?" Asked Hermes cautiously. "I mean you only came out of the Sea of Monsters."

"What?!" Yelled all the demigods. "That was ages ago"

"My lords, and Ladies. What is the date may I ask?"

"December 22nd Percy." Responded Hermes.

The demigods all turned to each other before whispering quietly. Percy then stepped up and spoke. "I believe that we may in fact be from the future as the Sea of Monsters was over a year ago for us."

"Demigods!"Thundered(Pun Intended) Zeus."Introduce yourselves." The demigods lined up one-by-one before speaking.

"Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon."

"Zoë Nightshade, daughter of Atlas."

"Thalia Grace, Daughter of Zeus."

"Bianca Di Angelo, Daughter of Hades." Many gasps arose from this as Zeus looked at Hades accusingly.

"I was born before the oath my lord. I was placed in the Lotus Hotel and Casino. In any case, I am a hunter of Artemis." Bianca spoke up quickly, hoping to stop any arguments.

I waved my hand and a couch appeared. The demigods sat down, thanking me profusely. Unfortunately just as Percy was about to sit down a large package shimmered into existence before dropping on his head.

"OOOW" He yelped before crying to the heavens, "Why does everything land on me?" A note attached to a rock came into existence before dropping onto his head as well. He yelped again. Thalia picked up the note before reading it.

Dear Gods, Goddesses, Demigods, and Percy

The events of the future have not turned out perfectly. Thus we have sent you, in the package a book to read describing the events of the future. No-one is to be harmed over the course of the reading, and you need not worry about time as it will be frozen. More people may occasionally be sent to join you. Hopefully the events of this novel will ensure any issues do not occur.

"Well, that answers any questions. Shall we get started?" Spoke Athena. Everyone nodded before she opened the box, pulling out a book entitled 'Shattered'
