Chapter 1
Annabeth sighed. She was sitting at the campfire with everyone else, trying to have a good time. But she couldn't have a good time with Percy gone.
None could.
The Argo 2 couldn't be built fast enough.
She put her head in her hands, crying softly.
That's why she didn't notice the soft glow around the head counselors, and the gasps of surprise.
"Annabeth, what's going on?"Piper yelled. There was a golden glow everywhere now, and they could no longer see CHB.
The glow faded. They were on Olympus. The 12 Olympians were on their feet, staring.
Annabeth stood. "Lord Zeus, why did you summon us?"
The gods had their mouths open.
"We haven't summoned you, or anyone else! Who are you! "Zeus said, regaining his composure.
"Sir, you've known me for years, I'm Annabeth Chase, Architect of Olympus."
She was confused, which was rare for her. She looked around. The gods all looked bewildered, and there were no signs of recognition of their faces.
She had a hunch.
She turned to her mother, Lady Athena.
"Do you know who I am?" She asked her mother with a sinking feeling in her gut.
Her mother studied her. "I feel like I should, that I know you, but it's strange..." Her mother answered.
Jason's eyes met Annabeth's. Then Jason turned to his father, Zeus. "What year is it?"
"1193"
"Were from 2012"
None spoke.
"Well ", Leo said, trying to get something out of his shirt, "This is awkward"
There were a few nervous laughs, but only a few. He then pulled out a piece of… something I can't explain, out of his shirt, which he flicked away.
It flew towards Piper, and midway changed to a paper, and smacked her in the face. She quickly grabbed it and started reading it, her eyes growing wider and a jumble of emotions running across her face with each word. After reaching the end of the page, she looked livid with some Gods, because she glared at the council, not looking at anyone in particular.
She started glaring at the floor and thrust the paper toward Annabeth. She held it up and read it to herself, then out loudly,
Dear Awesome past me, and past less awesome other gods and Demigods.
We got bored waiting for the Greeks and Romans to meet, so we decided to get you all together, the Greek demigods entering Olympus first, with the Romans following shortly after. Also, the Romans will have a book that will interest you all, and none is allowed to kill each other, because you will be living together for about twenty or so years, remaining the same age.
At the end of the time allotted, you will be sent back to the respective time periods and time you were in before and be able to reunite and kill Gaea quicker than last time.
In our awesomeness,
Apollo and Hermes.
P.S. You will get another awesome surprise later! Also, everybody has to introduce themselves. Peace out!
"Well!" Zeus said, looking nervous. "Introduce yourself!"
Annabeth stepped forward. "I am Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and Architect of Olympus"
Athena smiled at her daughter.
Jason stepped forward. "I'm Jason Grace, son of Jupiter"
Zeus studied him, unsmiling. "I see a Roman has already arrived"
Jason smiled weakly, looking like he was in no mood to explain.
Leo bounced forward. "Hey, I'm Leo Valdez, son of the epic Hephaestus!"
Hephaestus grinned at him.
Piper smiled at Aphrodite, and said, "Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite"
Her mother started, and looked at her with a soft smile on her face.
Clarisse grunted, "Clarisse La Rue, Ares."
Ares looked at her critically. "What all have you done?"
Clarisse looked her dad in the eye. "I'm head counselor for our cabin, in the future I slayed a drakon single handedly, and I also have your blessing for once"
Ares grinned at her, and she looked away in relief.
The Stoll brothers grinned, and stepped forward.
"He's Conner-" "He's Travis-" "Were the Stoll brothers, sons of Hermes! Co – counselors of Cabin 11"
Hermes grinned. Chris stepped forward, and took Clarisse's hand, and said, "Chris Rodriguez, son of Hermes" Hermes grinned at his children.
Nico went forwards. "Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades"
Hades, who was sitting in his guest throne, smiled at him slightly.
"Two children of the Big Three so far" Athena muttered.
Thalia looked up from cleaning her bow. "Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus, Lieutenant of Artemis. "
She bowed to her father, then Artemis.
Will Solace, Katie Gardner, and a few others took their turns.
"Now, what is this about Romans?" Athena asked Annabeth.
Annabeth looked uncomfortable. "In our time, Gaea is awaking, and Hera told using a series of events, that we must join together with the Romans to defeat her"
Athena studied her. "But that's not the only thing bothering you, is it?"
Annabeth smiled half heartedly. "Percy Jackson, Son of Poseidon, is at the Roman camp, and according to Jason, he doesn't have any of his memories"
When her mother looked confused, she briefly explained what was going on in their time, with everyone listening, about Jason, Piper, and Leo's quest, and what they'd figured out so far. "So", She concluded, "I'm hoping Percy will be with the Romans when-"
A blinding white light and a scream cut her off, and everyone scrambled out of the way , as about 7 or 8 people tumbled into a pile. Immediately they jumped up, weapons out.
A girl about 17 shouted something in Latin, and Annabeth said, "English please!"
The girl said," Who are you? "
Annabeth replied, "Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. And you?"
The girl studied her, looking as though she was debating whether or not to reply, while two of the other Romans gasped in recognition.
"Reyna, Praetor of Camp Jupiter"
"Well Reyna, you should see this" Annabeth said, holding out the note from Apollo and Hermes
Reyna walked forward and took it, and read it out loud to her soldiers, who headlined up behind her in a defensive position.
When she had finished, no one spoke for a moment.
Then Leo said," What's the other surprise?"
