This story is actually a sequel to one I wrote called "Two New Demigods" but you don't have to read it to understand this one. (though background info is helpful)

Okay, legal stuff. I should higher a lawyer for this. *sighs* I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians and other wonderful creative stuff Rick Riordan has thought up. I would like to think that I own Nyx and Dawn, but sadly I don't. Though Rick doesn't own them either. They are part of the Greek Gods and Goddess, though you have to do a LOT of research to find them. So I guess the Greeks own them, though they aren't alive to claim them are they? *laughs*

Now on with the story...


Prologue

A man sits on a hospital bed with his wife. At first glace they look like normal parents anxiously waiting the return of their new child. But if you look close, little things begin to stand out that show there is something different about them.

The man has an overshadow and dark circles under his eyes that displayed his lack of sleep. His arm is wrapped tenderly around his wife. He seems to be deeply in love with her. But there is something odd about the man.

His hair is a golden yellow that shines under the fluorescent hospital lights. He has blue eyes. But they don't look right. It was almost as if there was something blocking the natural colour, like he was wearing contacts. If you looked hard enough, you would swear that traces of gold showed beneath the blue.

The man seems tired, but he laughs and jokes with his wife. He seems to be really bright and there is always a smile on his face. His skin seems to slightly glow, as if flushed with heat. If you told anyone, they would tell you that you were imagining things.

The woman is so completely opposite him, you would think it's amazing that they got married. Her hair is a sleek raven black that glistens like the night sky. She has pale skin that is only highlighted by the way she feels after giving birth. Eyes as black as the darkness of an abyss would make you stop to stare if you caught her gaze.

She rests her head against her husband's chest. They seem to be deeply in love. The rings on their fingers are new, you can tell that they're young; nineteen at the very least. Hardships on their faces and a deep sadness in their eyes make you wonder if perhaps they've seen a little too much for their short lifespan.

Another man and women walk into the room. They seem to be very good friends with the two on the bed. The man that walks in seems to be very happy. His ocean green eyes sparkle at the couple on the bed as he flips his dark brown hair.

The woman beside him is holding onto his arm. She has honey blond hair and swirling gray eyes that look like mist. There is a baseball cap on her head, and she's smiling along with the man.

There are rings on their fingers too. They appear to have been married about the same amount of time as the couple waiting for their new child. Something seems odd about the second couple too. Both keep glancing nervously over their shoulder as if they expect something to come chasing after them. In everyone's voices there is a nervous strain, as if everyone was scared of something.

"Hey Percy. It's great to see you man." The golden haired man says with a slight boyish charm. "You too Annabeth."

The couple that walked in, Percy and Annabeth, smiles at him. After another glance over his shoulder Percy speaks up. "It's good to see you too Lucius. And you Phoenix."

The woman on the bed smiles softly. It's apparent that she's not used to smiling so much. "Thanks so much for coming. I know it was a risk for both of you."

The woman Annabeth speaks up. Her voice is laced with worry as she speaks. "Are you two sure it's wise to be all the way out here in the hospital? I think it would be much safer for you if you were back at the camp."

Lucius and Phoenix shake their heads in unison. They haven't let go of each other once since entering the hospital almost an entire day ago. The man speaks. "We've talked it over, and we want our child to grow up in an environment without the stress we went through the past year."

Percy scoffs. "Where are you planning on going? It's hard enough to hide just the two of you, but you add your child into the equation and you might as well be giant signs inviting danger from every corner of the country."

"We've got it figured out." Phoenix tells him calmly. Her voice has an icy calm to it, a tone that makes Percy flinch backwards slightly. "We've decided to move to Los Angeles. The human stench around there should be high enough to hide us."

"Los Angeles, are you kidding me?" Annabeth cries out; her calm demeanor breaking. "That's where you get to the Underworld! It's almost swarming with monsters!"

She turns to Percy for help. "Remember when we went there on our first quest? It was a nightmare!"

Percy chuckles at the memory though. He doesn't seem to take the situation as seriously as his wife. "Yeah, you hated me then."

Annabeth's hard glare turns soft. "Well, I don't anymore now do I?"

"You sure don't." Percy tells her as he kisses his wife passionately.

Lucius clears his throat loudly, though it's clear by his body position that he wants to do the same with his wife. "We've already got an apartment picked out, and we're moving there as soon as Phoenix is cleared to get out of the hospital."

Percy sighs as he gives his best friend a long look. "You'd better be careful Lucius. And you make sure you haul your butt up to camp if anything even goes slightly wrong."

"Oh yeah, that's right." Annabeth cuts in. "Chiron told us to tell you that you're always welcome back at the camp."

"It'd be nice to go back sometime." Phoenix admits

Lucius smiles and pulls his wife closer into his arms. He whispers in her ear. "I'd like to go back and visit one clearing in the woods in particular."

He wags his eyebrows at her playfully and she blushes a bright pink at the comment. The other two don't understand, but they have their own inside jokes.

There's a knock on the door. Just a regular knock; slightly automatic. All people in the room call for the person to enter. A tiny little nurse enters with a pink bundle.

The nurse walks over to Phoenix, who now has tears filling in her eyes. She hands the bundle to the emotional woman. "You have a beautiful baby girl."

Lucius squeezes his wife with his arm as she holds the baby. The nurse leaves the room and everyone automatically crowds the baby.

"She's so tiny!" Percy remarks, earning a slap on the arm from his wife.

"She's beautiful." Phoenix sighs in happiness.

"Just like her mother." Lucius whispers, a smile on his face. He can't believe that the little bundle of joy in his wife's arms was actually his.

Annabeth leans into her husband's arms. "I hope we have a little baby like that someday."

Percy seems to be a little nervous by the statement, so he just smiles and holds his wife closer as the other couple gazes at their child.

"I think she'll have your hair." Lucius points to the black fuzz on the baby's head.

"She's got your natural heat though." Phoenix remarks. "Just feel her."

Curious all people in the room put a hand on the child. And all yank their hands back as if they'd been burned.

"Dang, how can you stand to hold that?" Percy yelps, earning him yet another slap from his wife.

Phoenix laughs. A rare laugh that sounds like bells and singing angels to her husband. "I can manage my husband quite well can't I?"

Lucius sneaks a kiss from her. He doesn't seem to mind that she had just insulted him. "I wonder what colour her eyes will be."

Almost as if the baby could hear them, she opened her eyes. A brilliant gold shone at her two parents, both of them issuing gasps.

"She has your eyes." Phoenix whispers lovingly to her husband.

Lucius nods wordlessly. He was so amazed at this little creature that looked up at him with intelligent eyes, as if she knew who he was.

"Can I hold her?" He manages to choke out to his wife.

She gingerly places the baby into his waiting arms. He smiles at the baby as tears begin to fall down his face.

"Hey there." He whispers to the baby. "I'm your daddy." Lucius seems over whelmed by the three little words. Then he smiles and shows the baby to his wife. "And that's your mommy."

Suddenly two figures appear in the room as if out of nowhere. It was a good thing no one else was in the room, or there would have been a lot of explaining to do.

Both figures were women, and both were tall with amazing curvy bodies. But there the similarities ended. One was golden blond and had eyes of the same warm colour. Her skin was slightly tanned but she looked very kind and inviting.

The other woman could have been her opposite. She had dark black hair that rivaled a crow's but looked velvety smooth. Her skin was pale but had the glow of a star in the sky. This woman's eyes were dark and cold, like the pits of an abyss. But underneath you could tell she could be kind and warm too.

It was clear that these two women were the mothers of Phoenix and Lucius. Both smile at the four of them. Then the dark haired one speaks up. "It's good to see you haven't ditched my daughter boy."

Lucius smiles. "Nyx, I wouldn't leave your daughter if she stabbed herself in the heart with a sword."

"Yeah you already proved that once." Percy laughs until Nyx glares at him. He squirms under her gaze until he gives her an apology. "Sorry Ms. Goddess of the Night."

The golden woman laughs. Her laugh is deep and full of meaning, like her son's. "May I see the child?"

"Of course Dawn." Phoenix smiles at her mother-in-law as her husband hands her the baby.

"May I?" Nyx and Dawn both say simultaneously.

"Uh, sure." Phoenix agrees after looking at her husband, neither one of them sure what they wanted to do.

Dawn leans down and whispers a few soft words in the baby's ear that are too quiet for a human ear to pick up. Then she kisses the baby on the forehead. Nyx repeats the same ritual.

Then they pass the baby back to Phoenix, who seems to glad to have her own baby back. She looks at them confused though. "What was that for?"

Nyx smiles at her daughter. A rare smile for the perpetually silent night goddess. "We just blessed your daughter."

Dawn smiles at them. "It will protect her from monsters for a good while."

Suddenly Dawn's smile disappears. "But we're not sure what else it may do. The gods don't bless people often and I don't believe that two goddesses have ever blessed the same person before."

Nyx looks worried too. "It shouldn't be too bad, but with her heritage you never know."

Percy smiles and speaks up. "Maybe it'll just reverse any damage done while Phoenix was temporarily dead."

Phoenix shudders. "Please don't remind me."

Both goddesses nod, but neither seems convinced. "Maybe. But we'll be watching."

They disappear in the usual flash of bright light. The other four just shrug and turn to look at the tiny baby in Phoenix's arms.

"So what are you going to name her?" Annabeth asks curiously.

Phoenix looks at her husband, who now has his arm draped around her shoulder again. "We went over a few names. But they all seem too ordinary for our special girl."

"Special she is." Percy puts in. "Not only was she blessed by the goddess of the Dawn and the goddess of the Night, but she was born to their offspring. Plus, you had died for a while. It's amazing that you were still pregnant when you were brought back."

Phoenix smiles at him as Annabeth slaps him for the third time. "We think we've come up with a name that won't upset either of our parents."

Lucius smiles as he gazes at his baby girl. "We'll name her after a time of day when Dawn and Nyx meet and co-operate. Between sunset and nightfall. The time she was born."

They both smile at the unique name they thought up. In unison they say their baby girl's name.

"Twilight."

Please no flames about the child's name. I actually love that name, and I hate that Stephanie Meyer used it as her book title. I saw the name in a book I read(no, not in twilight) and I really liked it. So it's staying. NO FLAMES!

On a brighter note, I would love to see reviews from everyone! it makes me really excited! This was just a prologue to sink into the real story, but I hope you liked it! I should have the next chapter out in at least two days.
