The New Goddess - Prologue

Disclaimer: I'm not as good a writer as Rick Riordan (even though I wish I was)

Annabeth's P.O.V

I was just hanging in the Athena cabin, because we hadn't gotten much time to just, 'chill,' because we only just finished our previous quest to stop Gaia from destroying all of the gods and goddesses about a 2 weeks ago. Then, all of the senior counsellors were called to the big house for an emergency meeting.

When I reached the big house I saw Percy (my boyfriend), Jason, Piper, Leo, Clarisse, Frank, Hazel, Nico, Pollux, the Stoll twins (Travis & Connor) and a few others, I didn't know their names. There was also a bored looking Dionysus twirling a grape vine between his fingers. Then I looked over to the other side of the room and saw a girl talking to Chiron. She was wearing a black leather jacket, ripped jeans, skull earrings and a matching ring and her black hair was spiked. So basically she looked like a punk. She also had a slight, silver glow around her.

"Thalia?" I said.
The girl turned and smiled. It was Thalia.
"Thalia!" I shouted, then ran over to her and gave her a huge hug.

"Hey, how've you been and, oh my gods, you've gotten so tall," Thalia exclaimed.
"Oh, um, I'm good and I would say that you've grown as well but, with you being immortal and all, you don't look that different," I said.

She laughed.

"So, why are you here anyway?" I asked.
"Artemis said that I would be needed at camp for some reason," Thalia replied.
"That's strange. I wonder what she meant,"

"I think she might have known about our visitor," Chiron informed.
"What visitor?" Thalia asked.

I hoped it was Rachel with a prophecy, because I hadn't seen her in a long time and it would have been nice to catch up with her. But no, as soon as I saw the bright white flash I knew it couldn't have been Rachel. The only goddess that does that, is the self-centred, perfect family loving, the one, the only, goddess of marriage, Hera.
Oh, I hate her so much. Ever since I had that argument with her at the end of 'The Battle of the Labyrinth' (as we call it now) she's been out to get me. So, I hate her SO much. I mean once she tried to crush me a gigantic statue of herself.

Anyway, back to the point.

"Hello everybody, it's so nice to see my favourite demigods again," Hera flattered "How are you all?"
"Hera, please, just get to the point," Dionysus said sleepily.
"Fine," Hera sighed "Your such a bummerang Dionysus."
The god of wine shrugged "I try."

"So what is it that you have to tell us Hera," Chiron insisted.
"I have a task."

We all groaned.

"Ugh, what is it this time?" Jason and Percy said in unison.
"Hey! My tasks weren't that bad," Hera protested.

We all looked at her.

"Ok, so what if they were a little dangerous, I mean none of you died,"
"We almost did," Leo stated.

There was a lot of head nodding and mumbles of agreement.

Hera looked angry.
But then she said:

"Anyway, that doesn't matter at the moment, I need Nico di Angelo."
"Why?" Nico said cautiously.
"Because I need you to get a demigod."
"Wait, why me?"
"Why You?" Hera repeated. "Because you are the only one here who can properly shadow travel."
"Well, surely I shouldn't need to shadow travel there," Nico complained.
"Well I'm sure you should need to because 1: it's going quicker, 2: it'll be easier and 3: she lives in Australia,"
"Wait a minute, you're telling me she lives in Australia." Nico said.
"Yes," Hera said it as though it were obvious.
"But, that's like, on the other side of the world."
"Yeah, and your point is?" Hera smiled wickedly.

We all looked at Nico.

"When do I have to get her?"
"Straight after this meeting," Hera said. "Oh and by the way be careful, she is a little…"
"Dangerous," Hazel and Annabeth suggested. "Different."
"Unique," Hera corrected. "She's unique. Oh, and Nico you'll be needing the address 11 Francess street, Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia."

Thunder boomed in the distance.

"Well, that's my queue, I'd better get going otherwise Zeus will get angry," Hera farewelled. "Toodleloo."

Then there was another bright white flash, and she was gone.

We all started to file out of the rec room sensing that the meeting was over. While I was leaving, I glanced at Nico, he was looking a nervous about his trip to Australia and I couldn't blame him.

This is my first FanFiction ever, so I would really appreciate it if you review. Thanks.
