Let's start this off by saying I'm shit at time management, so the next chapter will probably not be up for a long time. I also just moved to Africa, and wifi is slower than a snail here. I have a lot more problems, but I'll stop complaining about how much I suck and let you start the story now.

By the way, I own nothing but the way I play with Uncle Ricks characters, and then not even some. Oh well.

DEMIGOD POV

"Psst...Annabeth. Do you hear that?" Percy whispered to his girlfriend, sitting up from the laying position he was in.

Annabeth looked over at him, bemused. "Hear what? Everything's silent?" She said back.

"Exactly!" The raven haired boy all but shouted. "Silence! There's no screaming, no cries for help, no chaos in general. Isn't it wonderful?" As soon as that last sentence left his mouth, he flopped back down, almost missing the bed.

Percy and Annabeth were celebrating their anniversary by doing absolutely nothing. They were chilling in the Poseidon cabin, just listening to each other's breathing when Percy had his out burst. It was after curfew, but neither of them really cared.

Annabeth, still looking at her boyfriend, turned her whole body so she was now laying on her side. She smiled. "Yeah, it really is."

Percy was just leaning in for a kiss when the cabin door opened to reveal Leo, panting like he just swam up from the bottom of the ocean.

The couple stood up and stared at Leo, who was now laying on the floor like the dramatic goofball he was. Finally, after, like, 3 minutes, Leo remembered he was here to deliver a message.

"Chiron...Wants...You...to go to...the big...house," he managed to choke out. After a few more minutes, he caught his breath and popped back up onto his feet, leading the way to the big house.

"Hey, Leo! What was that about? Collapsing on the floor like you just to Camp Jupiter and back?" Percy called out to the scrawny Latino.

"It sure felt like it," he retorted, slowing down just enough so that the couple could catch up. "Chiron's been making me run around the camp grabbing people and bringing him here." He stopped at the steps of the big house. "I still gotta get sparky and beauty queen. See you later!" He saluted before running off again.

Percy and Annabeth looked at each other and shrugged. We stepped inside and saw Nico, Thalia, Reyna, Frank and Hazel sitting somewhat timidly around Chiron.

"Ah, Percy, Annabeth," he said, nodding respectively at each of them. "Now we just need to wait for Piper and Jason."

"That's great, and everything, but, um, it's almost midnight. What are we doing here?" Percy asked.

Reyna, Frank and Hazel sent exasperated looks at him, while Nico rolled his eyes.

"Don't you think we've already asked that? Chiron refuses to tell us anything until everyone arrives," he said. "Speaking of which, where is Jason and Piper? Leo's not that slow."

They waited around in a slightly awkward silence until Leo burst through the door with his dramatic display, Jason and Piper in tow.

"I have returned! The quest was difficult, but it was nothing the mighty Leo couldn't handle! Alas, many men succumbed to-" he was cut off by an impatient Nico.

"Alright Chiron, everyone's here now. Can you please explain what we're doing here at the ass-crack of dawn?"

Chiron sighed at his choice of language, but told them about their next quest, nonetheless.

"Yes Mr. Di Angelo, I will." He looked very somber and almost...guilty? He took a deep breath before continuing. "You have another quest."

The room was silent for a whole three seconds.

"WHAT?" Everyone screeched, Percy and Annabeth, the loudest. "We literally just came back from defeating mother-fricking-earth, and you want us to go on another quest?"

Once everyone calmed down enough to hear Chirons explanation, they noticed that the old centaur was very pale, and looked on the verge of tears.

"I know, and believe me, if this wasn't a life-or-death situation, no one would be going at all. But, alas, the threat of many lives hang in the balance, and we believe that you 10 might be able to help, if not stop, those many deaths," he finished, looking older than he's ever looked.

"We?" Thalia, who had been uncharacteristically quiet, piped up.

"Yes, we. I have many brethren, as you know. Some of the more mature of them are in England. We keep touch now and then. That is how I have been informed of your quest. If you are up to it, that is?"

Silence settled across the room, as the teenage warriors weighed the odds. A quiet, safe life with the guilt always dragging them down, or another dangerous quest that would probably end in death?

Everyone sighed, as they knew that they couldn't turn this down. Even though it was getting tiresome of always having to save some oblivious mortals.

"You know the answer to that Chiron. Who do we have to rescue this time?" Percy asked.

"Of course. Details. You will travel tomorrow at noon, to London, England and-"

"LONDON?" The demigods screamed in unison. That was happening an awful lot lately. "WE'RE GOING TO LONDON? THIS STUPID QUEST ISN'T EVEN IN AMERICA?"

Chiron sighed and rubbed a hand over his tired face.

"I would prefer it if you refrained from screaming until the end. Anyway, after your preferable means of transportation, you will arrive at separate houses. Yes, you will not be staying in the same house." He finished quickly, just as people were opening their unenviable shrieks of out rage. "We thought that putting so many of you in one place would attract too much unwanted attention, so we found people who will take you in.

"Now, I admit, the second person we found was quite reluctant to have you in his company, but we need you to keep and eye on him and his family, for the time being. Now, the goddess Hecate is here to explain to you exactly what you need to do." As soon as the last word left his mouth, Hecate appeared.

"Hello children. Make yourselves comfortable, because this is an extremely long, but intriguing tale. No interrupting.

"Our long, but intriguing tale starts in England, many, many, years ago. Way back when the Olympians nested in Europe.

"Now, even though it was nice there- many prayers, food sacrifices and such- I became incredibly bored. So, I took a walk.

"The thing is, this walk wasn't an ordinary walk. I passed many sights, most of which I helped to build, but nice nonetheless, when a man approached me.

"This man was no ordinary man. Actually, yes he was. He isn't now obviously, but, what I'm trying to say, is that this man possessed courage, unlike any I have ever seen, as he dared to raise his voice at me. I could tell he knew I was a goddess, and I should have smited him there, but I didn't. For some strange reason, I decided to honor him. After I told him that if he should ever speak to me in that tone of tongue again, I'll lock him in the fields of punishment.

"I agreed to have his child. She was a lovely little darling, very interested in knowledge and learning. Later, she met up with her other siblings, one other girl and two boys. Together, they decided to start a school for either children of mine, or those I blessed. Both of which, means they posses serious magic that could do wonders.

"I thought that they had a great system going, so I helped them. I gave them architectural advice, I supplied them with spells and potions, and when they school was finished, I protected it with magic so complex, only I will be able to break it.

"Before that, there were few witches and wizards capable of containing their magic. That means that the mortals were confused and scared. It was no surprise that they were either run out of town, or killed. Even if I couldn't help it, it saddened me to stand by and watch so many of my children murdered, so when the school was built, I was glad it inspired more countries to do so.

"This is were you need to pay rapt attention. One of the decedents of my most powerful child has become mad with power. His name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, or as many know him, Voldemort. Awhile back, he went on a rampant killing spree, murdering many witches, wizards and mortals, simply because of their blood-status.

"Fifteen years ago, he went after a couple- Aphrodite cried for days after their death because they were 'so perfect for each other'- and tried killing everyone in the household. His success went as far as the mother and father. As he trained his wand on that innocent child and said the unforgivable words, the curse rebounded and left him completely powerless.

" Now he is back, and more people are being killed. We know that the only one who can truly stop him is 'The Chosen One,' and no, that's not you Percy.

"The orphaned child that defeated Voldemort, is now in his fifth year at Hogwarts. He is also in danger, but who isn't these days?

"Anyway, your job is to make sure he doesn't die. Also, it would be nice if no one else died as well, but that's up to you. Good luck!"

And she disappeared.

Chiron took that as his cue to talk some more as well, apparently.

"Okay, did you get all of that? Good. There's more. You need to remember there words. Muggle is just another word for mortal, pure-blood is a status meaning someone who is related distantly to a child of Hecate. Mud-blood is a rude name given to those that are muggle-born. That means that the child is not related to Hecate in anyway, they are only blessed with her magic. You 10 will be portrayed as half-bloods. Your godly parent will be your pure-blood parent while your mortal parent is your muggle parent."

No one spoke for a long time after that. Everyone was stunned, trying to process all of this information they have been given.

After looking at their faces, Chiron decided that these children needed to sleep, now.

"Alright. That's enough for tonight. Tomorrow you will learn your cover stories, where you will be staying, and any other information I have forgotten. Good night and sleep well. You'll need it."

As if waking from a deep trance, the demigods stood up, shuffled to their respective cabins, and flopped onto their bed, not even bothering to change into pajamas.

Needless to say, they did not sleep well.

There we go! The first chapter of a new story, up and ready to go! I really appreciate you reading it all the way down to here. If you have anything you want to say, feel free to PM me or leave a review. Btw, I do not intend to abandon this story, so if I don't update in a while, don't give up hope. I would also love to hear if you have any ideas for the story. Tell me, and if I can work them in, I'll give you credit.
