A/N This was a story before I even got a Fanfiction. I thought I lost it somewhere in my mess of files on my laptop, but I found it again! So... yay!


Percy POV

Things had worked out pretty well for me. Considering the fact that just a few days ago I had no idea who I was, where I came from, or where I was supposed to go.

Maybe I should start at the beginning.

Hi, I'm Percy. I'd tell you my last name, but I don't remember it. About a week ago, I woke up in a dirty, burned-down house in the middle of nowhere with a wolf staring down at me. Lupa was her name. She told me that I was a demigod. Pretty freaky, right? To be honest, I didn't really have a problem with it. Some part of my subconscious must have already known this. Lupa trained me fora bit, and then sent me away. To where? I had no idea.

After three days of fighting for my life against some pretty wicked monsters trying to feed me poisonous Cheese N' Weiners, I found the place that I would soon come to know as Home.

Camp Jupiter.

At first things were pretty rough there. I was the newest loser to the Fifth Cohort. The only people who actually had faith in me were Frank Zhang, Hazel Levesque, and the praetor. Her name is Reyna. Turns out I'd run her and her sister out of their home a few years back. Reyna told me that I'd come in there, and torched the place single-handedly. That was pretty hard to believe.

Then there was Hazel's brother, Nico di Angelo. I knew that kid, I knew I knew that kid. If he knew me, he didn't let on. When I asked some of the other kids about Nico, they just said he was the creepy loner that popped in from time to time. Nobody really liked him because he was a son of Pluto like Hazel.

Oh yeah, my dad's Neptune, by the way. Which meant that I had some pretty sick water powers.

Back to the point. Not a day later me, Frank, and Hazel were off on a quest to Alaska to free Thanatos (a.k.a. Death) from his chains. Along the way we met up with some pretty strange people like Iris, and Fleecy. They ran this little hippy shop with some nasty food that you do not want to eat.

Then there was the Amazons in Seattle. Their queen was actually Reyna's sister, Hylla.

And then there was that creepy Seer, Phineas who tortured harpies like Ella. Ella's a harpy with a serious case of book fever. She followed us around for a bit, but then we had her fly down to Camp for her own safety. Back to Phineas. I tricked him into drinking poison Gorgon's blood, while I pretended to drink the other vial that healed anything. It was possible it could heal my memory, but for now I had it strapped to my side.

After a lot of adventures, we freed Thanatos and returned to camp where I promptly saved everyone by returning the lost staff. In fact, I was made praetor for doing that. But even better, I got a girlfriend out of it. Who, you ask?

You guessed it. Reyna. She'd come up and planted a huge kiss on me just before I was lifted onto the shield and named praetor. Octavian didn't seem too happy about that. But who cares?

I realized that I didn't need my memory. I had it all right here at Camp Jupiter. What if I was just some nobody in my old life? Did I really want to go back to that?

Of course there was always the problem with Jason Grace, the dude who disappeared a few months before I showed up. He was one loose end that didn't get tied until today. Today, when we got that video scroll.

And now you're caught up. So back to the present...


The Greeks? I hadn't even realized there were Greek demigods. That Latino Elf guy seemed alright, but Reyna seemed worried. We sat in the Senate House, discussing the issue.

"They say they're peaceful, but just to be sure we should arm ourselves." She said.

"No, no, no! We can't let them come close!" Of course it was Octavian who stood and got mad, "Fire at will!" Then the scrawny little augur turned to me, "You," He pointed a bony finger at my chest, "How do we know you didn't call them here?" I glared at him.

"Why don't you go cut open a teddy bear and find out?" Reyna cracked a smile at me, "They say they're friendly. Why would they give us warning before attacking?"

"I'm with Percy," Reyna said, "Arm yourselves, but do not shoot." At that moment, Frank ran in looking really out of breath, like he'd just run here from Alaska. We almost had to.

"Th-they're here!" He huffed. Everyone started muttering to themselves as we filed out into the sunlight.

"Percy, stay to my right." Reyna said, and I did.

A shadow was cast over New Rome. A gleaming gold warship hovered over the city with a dragon head mast. I had to cover my eyes just to look up it was so bright. All the Romans gathered in a circle, leaving large hole in the center so that when the Greeks came out they'd be surrounded. A rope ladder fell down and the end hit the pavement with a Slap! Four demigods filed down, one after the other.

The first one out was a blonde boy. Well built, with blue eyes and a scar on his upper lip. When he turned to face the crowd, everyone gasped and there were mutterings of Jason. Jason Grace all throughout the demigods. Huh, so this was the famous ex-praetor? Not bad, not bad.

Behind him were three other demigods. I recognized the Latino Elf from the scroll. Hazel gasped when she saw him. I racked my brain for the reason as to why he looked so familiar... then it hit me. Sammy Valdez. Shouldn't he be dead by now?

The girl standing beside Jason had choppy brown hair with feathers braided into it. She was pretty, in a weird way. She wore a white snowboarding jacket over an orange T-shirt. All of them were wearing the orange T-shirt. It looked like the one I was wearing when I got to camp. Weird...

The last demigod was a girl. She stood to the right of Jason, showing she was second in command. Her hair was honey blonde princess curls and she looked extremely athletic. She was tan, like she'd just spent a day on the beach. To me, she looked like a pretty basic California girl. Except for the eyes. Her eyes were gray, dark gray. Like storm clouds. Now this one was staring at me funny. I couldn't tell if she wanted to kill me, or if she wanted to kiss me. Just to be safe, I looked down at my feet.

Reyna nudged me, and the two of us stepped forward so that only ten feet stood between us and the group of Greeks.

"Jason Grace, former praetor of the Twelfth Legion. And these, your friends-" That was when something even weirder than a fifty foot golden warship looming over a city of demigods happened. The blonde girl suddenly burst forward from the group. She ran right past Jason, past Reyna, straight to me. For a moment there, I thought she was attacking me. But then she wrapped both her arms around my neck and hugged me.

"Thank the gods!" She cried. Then she pulled back to look at me, "Percy I can't believe it's you! You're ok!" Tears of happiness were welling in her eyes. Ok, I was officially confused.

"Annabeth..." Jason said in a warning tone, but she didn't listen.

Annabeth. That name rang a bell waaay back in my head, but I couldn't connect the face.

Then she started to slap my arm.

"Do you have any idea how worried we've been?! Perseus Jackson you completely disappear for eight months! What part of Stay Put don't you understand?!" She yelled at me. Jackson? Perseus? Was that my name? Wow, no wonder I was so used to being the loser.

"Uh... sorry?" Her eyes blazed.

"Sorry?! You're sorry?! You had me and Sally worried sick!"

"Sally?" Oh crap, "Is she my girlfriend?" Reyna would not like this. Annabeth blinked in surprise.

"What? Ew, no. Sally's your mother! I-" Then realization dawned on her face, and her grey eyes widened. She took a step backwards, "You... you don't remember." She stated. For a second, I felt like I should hug her and tell her I'm sorry. But instead I just shook my head.

"Sorry." Her face went through a mix of emotions from confusion, to hatred, to anger, to sadness. Finally it settled on a sort of poker face. Uh oh, Reyna looked mad.

"So... this is Annabeth." Jason said awkwardly.

"Why don't we take this discussion to the Senate House?" Reyna suggested, her eyes as cold as coal, "Come."


Once we were all seated in the cool Senate House, Annabeth told us her story. She told us all about who I really was.

Surprise! Roman praetor is a Greek demigod!

Apparently I was pretty awesome. I'd returned Jup-er... Zeus's master bolt, recovered the Golden Fleece, held the weight of the sky, survived the Labyrinth, and led the rebellion against the Titan Kronos. Annabeth told us about how I'd disappeared shortly after. she didn't mention anything about how I knew her.

Then Jason went. He told us about how he'd woken up on a bus with no memory of anything. How they'd gone on a quest to save Hera, about the creepy giant spire thing coming out of the ground.

"And so we left the Wolf House..."

"Wait, the Wolf House?" I asked, "That can't be right. I would've seen you." Jason shook his head.

"No way, we were there months ago." Months?

"But I disappeared around the same time you did, we would have overlapped." Annabeth interrupted.

"You woke up a week ago, didn't you?" She clarified. I nodded, "Percy, you've been gone eight months." Eight. Eight months... but... what? "Hera put you to sleep for a few months while Jason finished his quest." She explained. My stomach knotted, and I suddenly felt like vomiting.

"I'm gonna take a walk." I said quietly and stalked out of the House.

"Percy?" Reyna and Annabeth's worried voices echoed after me, but I didn't stop.
