A/N: I know, I know, another story in a short space of time, but the thing is, I really need to stop reading new fandoms. I just read a few stories of a certain type, and then I want to write them! Anyway, this story (Hopefully series) is dedicated to my cousin and best friend, Ingradera who has supported me over the years and was the very first person that I ever told any of my stories to. It is because of her that I now have the confidence to publish. I love you May!


As his gaze travelled across the faces of the 4 demigods gathered before him, Chiron could not help but internally sigh. None of them looked best pleased to have been pulled from their activities so soon after the last skirmish, and some of them, he knew, had been in the midst of a rather important meeting about setting up a patrol around the borders of camp. Even though they had had reassurance that the labyrinth had been destroyed, it was just like the children of Athena to be cautious anyway. After only a few more moments of this stony silence (quite an accomplishment seeing as though 4 of the 5 people gathered were ADHD) the old centaur wearily pulled himself to his feet, wincing slightly as he placed weight on his recently healed back leg.

"Now, no doubt you are all wondering about the cause for me to summon you all here, especially you Ms Grace, don't glare at me child, but I assure you that, even though it may not seem this way at the moment, it is extremely just and reasonable."

AS these words, the boy with the sea green eyes stepped forwards, looking slightly agitated as well as a little jumpy. His usually tanned skin was now quite pale, due to a long stretch of time in the maze below ground, but he still looked as healthy as ever. Even the recent battle had yet to take its toll upon him.

"Go on then Chiron, what is it? I was in the middle of trying to pull Polux out of hysteria!"

At this, the teacher sighed again. Yes there had been too many losses in the last fight, and only more could follow seeing as they were sure to face a war in the near future, but that was exactly why this plan was so essential for them all.

"Yes Percy, and I apologise for that, but this is a mission that you 4 must undertake to prevent situations like this from occurring again in the future. In fact, as we are all aware, there is war brewing that we cannot avoid, and, as such, I have decided, with great pains, to send all of you away for more training, in order to reduce the number of casualties."

For once, the demigods fell into a silence that was not forced, rather, they were all too shocked to respond. More training? Wasn't that the very purpose of the camp? To train them to survive? Eventually, it was Annabeth, ever the practical one, who snapped out of the daze first and turned to address her father-figure.

"Where are you sending us Chiron? What do we need to do?"

Ah yes, this is what the centaur had been dreading. For many years, Hecate had managed to remain secretive about her little world, but, recently, the gods had found out which was part of the reason for this. Bracing himself for an onslaught of questions, Chiron took a deep breath and began to speak.

"Over the years, the Lady Hecate has developed her own little world of mortals that posses her blessing, that is to say, they can all use magic. These mortals, or wizards as they prefer to be classed as, have developed their own schooling system, the most prominent of them being the boarding school of Hogwarts in Scotland. This miss Chase, is where I am to be sending you so that you may all learn new ways of battle and defence in time for the next attack."

As soon as he had finished speaking, he stepped back slightly as the outcome he had feared arose. As one, the teenagers all began shouting.

"Wizards? They're supposed to be myths… the only magical people I have ever read of are children of Hecate herself!"

"Lady Artemis is never going to allow me to take a whole year out of the hunt to attend a school! Especially not one that is co-ed!"

"Ugh, we have so much work piling up in the underworld, if I take a full year out, dad will kill me!"

"We just finished one fight Chiron, what are we going to do if the camp is attacked again and we are all over in Scotland? Everyone here expects us to help them, how are we supposed to do that from Europe?"

And so forth the argument went until Chiron, growing bored of the chaos, slammed his front hoof upon the panelled floor and drew them all to attention, unfortunately, not being a member of the camp any more, the daughter of Zeus was a little beyond his control.

"That. Is. Mahogany!" The girl screeched, making all of the others laugh at her reference, though it only confused the centaur, still, at least they were no longer shouting and they would be more amenable to his plan if they were in a good mood, sighing slightly at the childish antics, he pushed on never the less.

"In answer to your concerns, the gods themselves have agreed with this plan so you both may be a part of it without minding what your superiors think. The wizards value secrecy almost as much as we do so there is no record of them in any books you may find around here, though I bet you can name the location of the American school Annabeth, and Percy, my boy, by going to this school you are helping the campers as you will be learning new ways to keep them safe. By gong along with this mission you may very well save many lives."

During his speech, the demigods had been looking around like naughty children, with the occasional whispered words such as 'Salem' by the daughter of Athena, though by the end, they had all recovered their self control and the room fell silent again. This time, it was the son of Hades who broke the deadlock.

"You said there was a school in America… why do we have to go to the one in Britain?"

Chiron nodded his head at this, he had expected this to arise and he had well thought out the basis of his argument, to the extent even, that it flowed smoothly off of his tongue.

"Because Salem is too close to Olympus, if we send such powerful demigods to that school, you will be attacked by monsters on a daily basis. However, my friend, Albus, has assured me that you will be quite safe in the confines of the school, especially as monsters tend to be more dispersed the further from the gods you travel."

"But Chiron, we don't have any magic?"

With his age old eyes, the centaur turned to the young girl with the blond curls and smiled with pride. He would worry about all of the heroes under his charge, sending them so far away was not good for his nerves, even after all of these long millennia, but knowing that they had such a down to earth child amongst them, coupled with the fighting prowess of the other 3 gave him hope that they would do fine in the next few moths.

"Ah, yes, my dear, that would be a problem but for the fact that the lady Hecate has promised to supply each of you with her blessing. Seeing as though a child of each of the big three is present, they did not put up too much of a fight over this one particular detail."

Around now, all of the teenagers were beginning to nod their heads, the loyalty instilled in each of them by the loss of someone close binding them to the quest in a way stronger than any other plea could have found possible. Seeing their passive faces, the son of Kronos smiled again. Yes it was very likely that this plan of his would be a success, and a great asset to them all.

"Alright, now that that is done, if Annabeth wouldn't mind staying behind so that I may discuss the details with her, I suppose you all don't mind if I make her team leader seeing as though she has a better memory and a smaller tendency to get into trouble than the rest of you, you should all go and prepare anything you think necessary to take with you on this quest. You will all be leaving tomorrow so I hope you can all manage to get a good night's sleep."

With this, all of the assembled teens meandered away towards their cabins, mumbling together about the items they would need, leaving only the daughter of Athena behind, seated at the ping pong table and looking more than a little concerned. When they were finally alone, he began to talk again.

"Now, Annabeth, before we get on to anything else, there is something that I need to tell you and you have to promise me that you will not mention it to the others until it is completely necessary…"


So, there was the first chapter, I hope you like it. Don't be afraid to tell me what you think, just no flames please. I promise that I will continue on with my other stories, I just felt like adding this to the pile as well Anyway, I got a question for you, and any one that is reading my 'Truth Behind the Lies' story will know how this goes. You get It right, you get a cookie. If you are first to get it right, you get the next chapter dedicated to you, so don't be afraid and go for it!
