Lesson 1
{Cammie}
Hello, readers! There is a lot of my story that won't make very much sense about my story without this, if you aren't already lost! This IS NOT an actual continuation from where I left off, but you will probably get confused without this so…
Twenty Years before Present (Percy is nineteen and married for a year to Annabeth)….
{Third Person}
Percy had gotten a lot closer to the campers that had welcomed him to Camp Half-Blood seven years ago and the demigods that were part of the wars. That meant that him, Chris Rodriguez, Jason Grace, Frank Zhang, the Stolls, Leo Valdez, Will Solace, and Nico di Angelo all had guys' nights out and stuff like that. Maybe that is why, when they went to a celebratory party with the gods when they learned that both Clarisse Rodriguez and Annabeth Jackson were pregnant (and were due around the same time –that's key), Percy and Chris got into a drunken argument.
When they were sober the next morning, neither could explain why it mattered, but to their drunken selves, it did. They were fighting over whose child would be born first. They shouldn't have gotten into the argument because Zeus, Poseidon, Hermes, Ares, and Athena walked over to them. Now the party was thrown by Dionysus, so the gods were able to get drunk. NEVER get drunk at a party with gods, because of what will happen if they get drunk. They will make stupid promises.
The male gods thought that the two boys should have a bet. Athena, who was too smart to drink anything alcoholic, did not agree. Zeus offered to make the bet official. Here's what Zeus said:
"Whichever child is born first will be blessed by every god – minor or major. So will any of their siblings with the last full sibling being the most powerful. I swear it by the River Styx."
A drunken Zeus is an idiot Zeus. *Thunder rolling* Oops?
Yeah, that happened. Dakota, the first Jackson child, was born two months early and was blessed by the gods. So, the six Jackson kids that were born after her would be blessed before they were born to "save time", but blessed all the same. Selena and Jackson – another stupid bet about more than one kid – were born five weeks after the due date. Three months between the three kids and they weren't the closest together.
A/N: Is it sad that this is almost as long as a regular chapter? I think I'll do more of these because I need to. Also, I'll post the index of names as one of them. You don't have to read these if you don't want to, but it might help you later on…
