Author's note: 1st story, so go easy on criticism. Mostly the story will be Percy and Magnus's POV. I don't know what will happen in Hammer of Thor or The Hidden Oracle so go with my story.

Chapter 1: One with The Stranger
Of all the death I had seen, mine was an easy painless one. Never thought that I would describe my death as painless. Let me relate to what happened.
"Percy..." a faint voice called. Percy.
"Let me sleep." I grunted.
"Wake up seaweed brain." someone called. Now nobody calls me seaweed brain expect Annabeth, and I was pretty sure than this was not her voice. I uncapped Riptide and leaped at the voice. I collided into a female figure (knew it because of lack of colorful words and long hair).
"Now that's pathetic. You sleep with your sword inside the camp?" Rachel, my dear oracle friend said. "Would you mind getting of me now?" I, still bewildered by her presence in my cabin at the middle of the night, got up, helped her up, and sat on my bed.
"Rach, what are you doing here at this time. And why didn't the harpies eat you up?" I asked.
"Privileges of being an oracle." she said. "As for me being here, you have been called up to Mount Olympus in the morning".
"Couldn't you tell me that, um, you know AT BREAKFAST." I yelled.
"Hold on grumpy, that's not it." she said.
"Oh sorry. Please continue."
"Percy I have been having wired dreams. Something not right at Olympus. Pointy said that he was rushed out of Olympus."
"Pointy…? Oh you mean Jason "Pontifex Maximus" Grace. What was he doing on Olympus?"
"Probably building a temple" she said. "Jason said a man, not Greek or Roman, entered the throne room as he was leaving. He said that the man looked like a retired drill sergeant. He was barrel-chested and had big arms and was wearing a polo shirt. He had a sword that would make Riptide look like a tooth-pick. Jason also said that the man wore an eye-patch. Percy what do you think?"
"I don't know. Let's talk tomorrow morning. I would like to sleep before I meet this man."
I woke up with a start. I had a nightmare about the incident that happened at the cliff. Standing that close to Chaos can mess up anyone's mind. I took a shower, yes I do those things, and quickly made my way to the breakfast table. I saw that Annabeth was sitting on my, rather our table. After the war, we usually did everything together.
"Hey Wise Girl. What's up?" I asked, kissing her on her cheek.
"Nothing much. Rachel said that you were called on to Olympus?" she asked.
"Yes, she said that it's something urgent. Jason saw a stranger going towards the council and he's worried too."
"I wish I could come with you." she said, dejectedly.
"Hey, you have already made plans to meet Magnus. It would be bad to leave him hanging. Besides, it's nothing. For all we know, he could be a salesman."
"Always the same seaweed brain ideas." she said kissing me, to which I gladly responded. I was still skeptical to let her go to Boston alone but after a day and half of arguments, I gave up. I honestly don't think that I can ever stay angry with her.
We finished my breakfast and made our way to her cabin. After taking the supplies for the trip, we went to the Half-Blood hill where her mother, well, her mother's statue stood tall and strong.
"Are you..." I started.
"Percy" she said, "We already had this argument and I would rather not fight with again."
"Hmm, OK." I sighed, defeated.
I kissed her goodbye and she left.
"Are you ready?" someone asked.
I jumped and pointed Riptide, for the second time today, at Rachel.
"Jeez, Rach. What is wrong with you. You scared the hell out of me. And I have had a first hand travelling experience of hell."
"You have to understand that celestial bronze doesn't hurt me. So stop pointing your sword at me." she said.
"Whatever, lets go."
"I can't. Apollo gave me a task to complete. You are on your own. Bye." she said.
"Bye." I waved.
I met Argus and told him to take me to Olympus. I was expecting to be stopped by Linus, the lame excuse of a guard but to my surprise he let me up without a second glance. I made my way straight to the throne room. I went in and saw all fourteen Olympians, I made Zeus give thrones to Hades and Hestia, looking at me with ruefully. I saw the man Jason decried, sitting next to Zeus on a made up throne. He had an aura as powerful as Zeus. I made my way to Zeus, bowed to him, and knelt at my fathers feet.
"Rise Percy Jackson. Meet Odin, the All Father. He wants you dead."
A/N: So how was it? Read and review and tell me if you want to see this story continue. Till then BYE.Author's note: 1st story, so go easy on criticism.
