"Reading about the greatest hero"
It was a normal day at camp. Well, as normal as a demigod's life can be. The giant war had ended three days ago, and everything had been peaceful. Well not for Jason, he was running around, trying to find his girlfriend. He decided to stay at Camp Half-Blood to be closer to Piper. There were also a few other Romans who stayed at the Greek camp, while a few there were Greeks who stayed at his old camp.
He and Percy visited Camp Jupiter every week, just checking on Frank and Hazel. Today, Frank and Hazel were the ones visiting. With Reyna and Octavian - he apologized after the war, and he and seven actually became friends - and now, Jason was finding Piper, her last visit at Camp Jupiter was a month ago and 'She was dying to see Hazel' quoted by Piper. If Piper was late, even by a second on the Roman's arrival, Jason would be dead meat.
He didn't even see the demigod he bumped into. He just slammed into her hard. The demigod was sprawled at the grass, holding her head. The girl had brown hair and was about eight years old. Jason was in a hurry so he hurriedly offered a hand but the girl just swatted it away. Someone chuckled from behind him, he turned and came face to face with Will Solace, the counselor from the Apollo cabin.
"Ellie, this is Jason Grace. He's one of the seven" He introduced her to him. She got up and glared at him.
"Percy Jackson is better" She commented. He didn't want to stop there and chat but comments like this always made him feel jealous. He knows he shouldn't be jealous, Percy was a good guy, one of his closest friends even. He knows Percy was better than him, but people didn't need to rub it.
"What do you mean?" Oh gods, Piper was going to kill him.
"Ellie Rosette here is a new camper. I was just telling her about the seven" I knew when people say seven, they mean about Percy's achievements.
It was okay though, nobody knew much about Percy because he was modest and he would complain that they weren't a big deal. So when he's out, swimming or whatever, Annabeth, Grover, Nico and Thalia take turns in sharing Percy's adventures. It's became a regular activity at camp. And I wasn't that jealous about that, if Percy wouldn't brag about his achievements, they would.
"We ran into Perce and he also bumped into Ellie. He was as in a hurry as you are but he helped her get up. Saying sorry and sorry over and over. He asked if she was hurt and when Ellie said no, he patted her head and took off" The girl nodded.
"Percy Jackson defeated the Minotaur!" She exclaimed, like she was proud of knowing this. And I guess she should be, because Jason's eyes bulged. He didn't know that.
"That was his first monster" (AN/ I know it isn't his first monster but they just don't know) Will told Jason. He was smirking and I guess he suspected that Jason didn't know much about Percy. They must've forgotten to mention that at the activity. And that only made him question his friendship with the dude. Jason knew he was humble but this was something you're supposed to be sharing with your friends. They left him there thinking. And maybe he would've stayed there longer if Piper didn't attack him from behind.
"Where were you?!"
….
"So Jason, why exactly where you doing that was more important than our friends?" The other demigods snickered. After they caught up with everything, they decided to hang out at the pavilion. Nico and Thalia were there too.
"What exactly do you know about Percy?" Since Percy wasn't here, just went to get stuff, it was the perfect time. The demigods stopped snickering and looked at him, all serious-like.
"The dude won't tell us about his life, do we even really know him? I mean, were his friends and sharing stories are different from bragging about them" they nodded, even Annabeth.
"So what are we supposed to do?" Nobody answered for a while but they didn't need to because there was brightness and everything blurred.
…
Everything was normal at Olympus. There was fighting and that is how it had always been.
The big three were arguing about something senseless.
Hermes and Apollo were planning a prank or something.
Artemis and Aphrodite were arguing about love.
Demeter was arguing with Hades about Persephone.
Ares was polishing his sword, Hephaestus was building something and Dionisyus was reading his wine magazine. While Hestia was quietly tending the hearth.
Everyone was engrossed in something they didn't notice the bright light until later. When the light died down, thirteen demigods was sprawled on the floor.
"Where are we?" A blonde boy asked. Zeus looked at the other Olympians, thinking that maybe one of them had summoned the demigods.
The demigods looked at the Olympians and groaned. The Gods were shocked to see an unenthusiastic response, they had always been respected.
"Introduce yourselves" Zeus boomed. The demigods looked confused and looked at each other.
"You mean, you don't know us?" A girl with blonde curls asked. We shook our heads.
Just then there was another bright light the room and at the center of the throne room, there were five books with a note attached. Athena stood up and approached the books. She read the note aloud.
Dear Demigods, Gods and Goddesses
These demigods have asked to know about the adventure of a friend of theirs. They are from the future and please don't spoil anything. We believe that you must read about the greatest hero of all time. Maybe you will know how the demigods feel about you. More books will come. No killing the demigods, please.
From the most awesome gods ever
Apollo and Hermes
"Yes! I'm still awesome in the future!" Apollo exclaimed. The demigods chuckled while Artemis hit him at the head.
"Why do we need to read about my son, Hercules?" Zeus thought aloud (AN/ As if. Percy is waaay better). The gods rolled their eyes but the demigods scowled with Lady Artemis. She hated what he did to Zoe.
"Please, as if that jerk can be compared to Percy!" The goth girl shouted. The gods were shocked that the girl had guts to shout at Zeus like that. Others were just please they didn't have to read about Hercules but Zeus was red with anger.
"Who do you think you are, disrespecting my son like that?!" Zeus exclaimed. The girl just smirked and crossed her arms.
"Thalia Grace, your daughter" Zeus stumbled back. He tried remembering a Thalia Grace and something in his mind shocked him.
"But you're a tree!" The gods agreed with Zeus for once. They were just discussing that.
"And the hero were about to read is the reason I'm not" Lady Artemis noticed a silver tiara on her head. A lieutenant. She was happy for a new hunter but what happened to Zoe? Was she smitten with boys? Or did she die fighting?
"Introduce yourselves" Hades said. He was getting impatient with this.
"Like I said. Thalia Grace, and sadly I'm a daughter of Zeus" Thalia grunted. Zeus was shocked that his own daughter hated him.
"Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena" Athena smiled at her daughter.
"Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades" Everyone looked at Hades.
"You broke the oath?!" Zeus exclaimed. He stood from his throne and pointed his bolt at his brother.
"I was born before the oath" Nico said calmly. Zeus sat back on his throne, grunting.
"Leo Smoking Valdez, son of Hephaestus" Hephaestus already knew that Leo was a fire user. He smiled at his son and Leo smiled in return.
"Piper Mclean, daughter of Aphrodite" Aphrodite looked at her daughter and squealed in delight. Although she isn't wearing any make up, she doesn't need it anyway since her natural beauty is enough Aphrodite thought.
"Clarisse De La Rue, daughter of Ares" Ares smirked at his daughter.
"Travis-"
"And Connor-"
"Stoll, sons of Hermes" They finished. Hermes smiled at the two troublemakers.
"Reyna, daughter of Bellona" The gods looked at each other. Their figures started shifting from Greek to Roman.
"What's are the Romans doing with Greeks?" Athena asked. The other gods nodded curiously.
"You'll find out. Maybe it will explain in the books" He said. Most of the gods groaned.
"I swear, after the first book, I will be tired of hearing that" Apollo commented. Artemis told the demigods to continue. "Can you concentrate on Greek?" The demigods nodded.
"Frank Zhang, son of Ma- Ares. Roman" Ares grinned wickedly. Zhang. Where had I heard of that before?
"Hazel Levesque, daughter of Hades. Roman." Hades nodded approvingly.
"Jason Grace, son of Zeus. Roman" Hera huffed. How can he sire two demigods with the same mortal? Why did I marry him anyway?
"How about we read these books" Dionysus said, everyone looked at him. "What?! The sooner, the better"
"If you're friends with this hero, why don't you know much about him?" Artemis asked. The demigods shrugged.
"Percy is just too modest for his own good." Annabeth answered. Artemis nodded, that was definitely a first. A male who doesn't like bragging about his achievements? Maybe not all boys are the same.
"So who would like to start?" Athena asked. Annabeth raised her hand.
"I will, mother."
