Chapter I.
Percy's pov
It was lunchtime and everyone was in the pavilion eating. I just got done giving my offering to my father when lightning struck the ground of the fields. Everyone stopped eating and ran down to the field to put out the fire that had been started. Chiron ran over to me, offered his hand as I was pulled onto his back. I could stop this fire quickly without it reaching the strawberry fields. When Chiron reached the top of the hill we could see what the lightning had done.
No fire was started; instead there was a giant crater in the middle of the field.
"Oh, Gods" Chiron said "Please don't let it be this." He ran faster, there were about 100 demigods surrounding the crater just standing there, doing nothing. As Chiron reached the edge of the crater he helped me off his back. "Stay here Percy." He said not even looking at me, but down into the crater. When I looked down to where Chiron was going, there was a boy about our age lying unconscious. Annabeth was already besides the boy, and helped Chiron get him onto his back. Chiron, Annabeth and the boy all went towards the big house, leaving the rest of us in confusion. Before Chiron entered the house he leaned over and told Annabeth something. She nodded and ran back towards us.
"We're having an emergency counselor meeting." She shouted so everyone could hear. I quickly ran to her side. "We're in some serious trouble, Percy." She whispered to me so nobody would start to worry. Annabeth and I along with all the other senior counselors walked to the big house. In the living room the boy was still unconscious on the couch. He was wearing a tunic that seemed to be pretty torn up and in rags, along with some old fashioned sandals.
"Everyone" Chiron said "Let's move this into the rec room." They all nodded and walked into the other room. Chiron stayed behind in the living room, and Mr. D our camp director led the meeting.
"So," I started the meeting "Who is he?" everyone nodded and looked at Mr. D. He snapped his fingers and a diet coke appeared and he began sipping the drink.
"I" Mr. D. started "Have absolutely no idea." He took another drink and everyone began erupting in chaos saying 'how can we trust him' or 'how do you not know who he is.' Mr. D. just shrugged "wait until he Chiron comes back in here, I bet he can explain everything.
Elefthrios' pov
My head was killing me. I could hear shouting from somewhere nearby, in a language I couldn't fully understand. I opened my eyes and I was in a strange room.
"Wait," I said "Shouldn't I be in the Underworld" I looked around the room, and didn't recognize anything. Well, almost anything Chiron was sitting next to me. Except for the fact that he wasn't a centaur, I was glad to see a familiar face. "Chiron, where am I?" I asked him.
"I will explain it to you in a moment." Chiron said with a smile. "But for now, put these on. This is what people wear nowadays, Elefthrios."
