Sally's POV
Hi, my name is Sally Silena Jackson. I'm the daughter of Percy and Annabeth Jackson. My twin bother Tyson and I are currently waiting on our dad to come pick us up from school. Happy that it's Friday, we both can't wait to get home to relax on the weekend. Oh look, there he is now.
"Sally, Tyson, you ready to go?" Said my dad
"Yup" I said along with Tyson
"Alright, we're going to be walking today, I have something to show you on the way home"
"I can't wait to see what he shows us today!" I said excitedly to Tyson
"I know right, I hope it's something like a new sword fighting technique"
"Ooo, that would be nice"
"Alright, well we need to go somewhere where no one can see us for a few seconds"
We headed towards the park and stood behind a few large trees. Waiting for dad to hurry up and show us what he was talking about
"Okay, I need both of you to hold my hands" my dad said
So we did, we waited a few seconds and all of sudden we teleported. Literally. One second we were at the park, next we were at home
"What the hell just happened!" Shouted Tyson
"That, my son, was something called vapor travel. You see, now that you're 14 you need to head to this place called Camp Half Blood"
"What's Camp Half Blood?" I asked
"It's a place for demigods like myself and your mother. Because you're our kids you have some godly blood in you, which makes you quarter, or one third demigod" replied Dad
"Demigod? Like Hercules, Theseus and Orion from the Greek myths? Why would you be demigods, the gods don't exist?" Tyson asked
"I'll explain tonight at dinner okay? I have to talk to your mother first."
"I'd rather learn about it now but okay" I replied. Tyson nodded his head in agreement, we let it go and waited for tonight for answers
While we waited Tyson and I went up to his room to talk about what we had just found out
"I guess it sort of makes sense, I mean we both can breathe underwater right? How else would that be possible unless we were related to Aquaman." I said
"True, and we are quick learning about sword fighting, it usually takes people a lot longer than 3 days to learn and easily execute a disarming technique, and remember when we saw dad completely dry after getting water on himself?"
"Hmm, well we better go do our homework, if we are leaving we may as well do it now so we don't have to fret over it while we're away."
Three hours later at dinner our parents decide to drop the bomb on us
"Okay, you kids ready?" asked our mother
"Of course" we replied in unison
"Alright, to begin with, the Greek gods exist, Athena, Poseidon, Zeus, Hades all of them exist. Percy and I are demigods, I'm a daughter of Athena and he's the son of Poseidon"
"Right, well your mother here is the reason you both know how to fight with weapons, there are monsters out there such has hell hounds, Cyclopes and Laistrygonian Giants which are cannibals. They hunt demigods, or one third demigods like your selves because we smell good, or something I never really understood all that."
"Okay, so you're a son of Poseidon, and mum is the daughter of Athena. There are monsters that hunt and kill us. Why haven't there been any around?" I replied, a bit shocked at the information
"Well, Annabeth and I have been protecting you, or as much as we good. Most of the time you've been able to steer clear of them without trouble, not sure why. The ones that get dangerously close are the ones either Annabeth or myself take out for you." Replied Dad
"So the reason you taught us was to protect us right? Obviously we're part Poseidon, myself and Sally can both breathe underwater. What other powers of either Athena and Poseidon do we have?" Tyson asked
"Athena's main power is knowledge, children of Athena are more intelligent than those that aren't, we focus on battle strategy and analyzing our opponents, so the only trait you get from me is your intelligence, which I can tell you both got since you're getting A's and B's unlike your father when he was in school" Mum explained, bit disappointed in herself, but also with a hint of pride
"Hey! Not my fault school is boring, anyway. From Poseidon's you more than likely will get some form of power over water, so far you both can breathe underwater, has any other strange thing happened when you were around water?"
"I've once come out of the shower and dried pretty quickly" I said a bit confused
"It seems to me that I have more energy when I'm in water and when I drench myself" Tyson said with a thoughtful look
"Both of those traits you would've gained from being my kids. Other powers that you may develop later could be any sort of water control, I've once made a hurricane while fighting Hyperion and an army of ghosts" Dad said, with a smirk
"Say what!?" we yelled
"Yup, it wasn't that hard either, I could try teach both of you how to do it some time, but it would drain you quite quickly as well"
"That sounds like fun, could you also teach us how to get used to our powers, not to your extent, but able to control small amounts before we leave? Tyson asked
"Sounds like a plan. We still have a bit of explaining left though, we figured we'd tell you about what happened to us when we were kids" Mum said
"Really?" "Wicked" replied myself and Tyson
About two hours later we both sat there in shock at all the things our parents had gone through, we were amazed to say the least, who could say their parents fought Kronos and survived, entered Tartarus and lived to tell the tale, and afterwards fight Gaia. Not to mention that our uncles Leo, Nico and Jason were all demigods as well! As well as most of our parents friends, it was a lot to take him but I couldn't wait for my life as a demigod, but at the same time I'm not looking forward to the sadness that may accompany it. I can tell Tyson thinks the same. We're both excited to learn more about the gods and monsters and the camp.
But for tonight we both go to sleep and have dreams about the future, good dream, not bad ones that our father used to have.
