Disclaimer: I do not own the PJO series.

Everything was fine, too fine, actually. See, it's already summer. This only indicate that it's already time for me to go back to Camp Half-Blood. I managed to finish my school year, too, wish should be impossible for a demigod like me. Anyway, it was all thanks to Annabeth. Afterall, if it wasn't because of the monsters who kept on attacking us, then it would be because of my failing grade that would've made me drop out.

Mom was happy about it, too, and rewarded me with blue cookies which I ate along our way to the camp. Annabeth was in the car as well, reading about a greek architecture book as she also ate mom's blue cookies. I talked with her on the road as I couldn't contain my ADHD habbits but she just answered minimal responses or would just nod sometimes. She seemed really focused on the book like her whole life depended on its every pages. I would've almost believed that if I just didn't remember that I was-am her life, I was, and still am, her other half.

"Wise girl, won't you look at my eyes for a while?'' I saw a smile for a bit but she didn't even move an inch. "Are you not tired adding up infos in your head?"

"Do you ever get tired of going into water, then?" was her wonderful response.

"Well, no, but--"

"Exactly, Seaweed Brain. I'm a child of Athena, I'm supposed to yearn for knowledge." She responded without even glancing at me. I pouted, feeling defeated. But that wouldn't end at that, no. I used my last resort: my knowldege. (Which wasn't as low in amount as everyone thinks, kay?)

"Erm, but you were also supposed to hate me, right? As your mom hates my dad. But, then, we're a couple." This seemed to get her attention as she turned her head to face me. She was glaring at me, and Annabeth's glares are really the type you would rather not see. Her gray stormy eyes seemed to study my face very intricately that I almost felt that she would open me up to dissect me, almost, If I wasn't her boyfriend who sees every part of her as my beautiful treasure. Fortunately, I am, so I just grinned at her. Soon, she sighed and dropped the book as she smiled at me. I won!

"Gods, Percy, you're impossible." She said as she rolled her eyes yet still smiling.

"You love me, though."

"Oh, shut up, Seaweed brain. We're in your mom's car." She exclaimed in a low tone. I looked at Mom who was obviously stifling a laugh.

"You can continue your romance in the camp Percy, we're here." Mom had a wide smile that seemed to tease me. I suddenly felt hot in the face. Hey, I was a boy, alright? It was kind of embarassing.

Annabeth and I soon stepped out of the car. Mom apologized that she had to go home as fast as she can because the house still needed cleaning and her husband also needed love. As soon as she said this, I covered my face with my hands. She was teasing us! I heard Annabeth's laughter beside me as she waved goodbye to my mom and pushed me towards the way to Camp Half-Blood.

I greeted Argus, the all-seeing guard of the camp. No, really, that's literal. I mean, you'll probably be able to see almost everything with eyes all around your body, and that's Argus for you. He nodded as a greeting and... I don't know if it was just me but it seemed like he was trying not to look at me. But it was probably difficult, and creepy, so he just quickly went back to duty after nodding at us.

As soon as I stepped in the barrier, someone snatched me out of Annabeth and it shocked the heck out of me, really! I thought I was being kidnapped. For a guy like me who had been to Tartarus and made an enemy out of the primordial being, being pulled out of nowhere is enough to put me in a heart attack. Except that I don't have a heart disease and it would probably be impossible--ah, gah! Stupid ADHD.

Anyway, so I was snatched. Annabeth was surprised, too, but when she saw who it was,she relaxed, somehow. Turned out it was my bro Jason, a son of Jupiter.

I thought he was just so happy to see me again, but I was wrong--nah, probably not, maybe he missed me as well, but did not even bother to ask how I was before dropping a bomb before me.

"Percy, why didn't you say you have a brother?" he asked with eyes full of wonder.

"What are you saying? You already know Tyson, don't you?" I replied, stating the obvious. Tyson is my half-brother who's a cyclops so it's very unlikely for Jason to forget about him.

"No, not him. Oh, I forgot you weren't here before." He stated as if remembering where he had put the keys that he couldn't find a while ago.

"Well, sorry." I said, note the sarcasm. "But, man, what do you really mean?" I had an idea which I did not want to accept. As far as I knew, Tyson was the only brother I had from my paternal side, and probably Pegasus, too... And other cyclops... And horses, oh well. But he's not allowed to have a child with a human. Not again after me. He swore that on the River Styx after the war, but he had me, bringing upon me a terrible fate. I couldn't imagine Poseidon breaking it again and bringing another tragic fate to his child after he said how sorry he was for me.

I didn't want that to happen, but as soon as I saw where my cabin was, there were several people from different cabins crowding outside mine. Now, I would like to tell you that it was Tyson who gained the spectacular audience, that he suddenly became popular, but no.

Jason was still about to tell me something but I decided that I would find it on my own, with my own two eyes. Sure enough, as soon as I got past the crowd, a guy, who painfully looked the same age as Luke when I last saw him, was seating on the side of the last bed. His face was buried to his hands and his shoulders where shaking, actually, his whole body was shaking.

I was panicking on what I should do or what I should think that I didn't notice that Annabeth appeared behind me.

"Holy Hera, " was her reaction. Before I could look at her, I heard Chiron's voice outside, dismissing the people, telling them to go back to their own cabins. He went inside as soon as he finished, standing tall on his horse hooves.

"Ah, Percy, I see you're back. You, too, Annabeth." Typical Chiron welcomed us. I imagine myself pale in shock.

"Chiron, who is he?" I was finally able to ask,but it was barely audible, almost a whisper.

"Why, he's another son of Poseidon, why would he be in this cabin if he isn't?" You know, sometimes I regret using my sarcasms to Chiron because he applies it. "He told me that his name is Arthur Samwell.He's the same with the di Angelos, once trapped in time. He's never been claimed before and he was devastated to know about the... the facts about him as soon as he was claimed a while ago."

"A while ago?" Annabeth exclaimed. He was just claimed a while ago, and he was trapped in time, and... I have a brother, an older brother who didn't know that he was a demigod until just a while ago. How did he live his past life knowing that there were weird things--monsters--after him. Was he in the Lotus Casino, too? There's too much question. I felt like I started from the start when I still didn't know anything. When I was still slowly absorbing the truth about me.

"When did he arrive?" Annabeth asked as she put her hands on my back. I was worrying my Wise Girl.

"The dryads of the forest brought him to Argus, he was barely conscious. As soon as I got to him," He walked towards the other demigod--Arthur. "a trident appeared above his head. He was claimed as the sky kept thundering."

I knew now why Argus was trying to avoid eye, or eyes, contact to me. It was thundering, too, meaning Zeus didn't like it. I just watched as Chiron approached Arthur.

He tapped him on the shoulders, spoke some words with him which I did not hear. Arthur soon stood up and approached us with Chiron's hand on his shoulder as he tried to comfort him.

As soon as he looked at my eyes, I suddenly felt like I wanted to hug the poor guy. He stood half an inch taller than me. His eyes were sea green like mine, but it was dull and dark, like the sea when a hurricane is brewing. His skin was pale white like he'd never experienced summer, and his hair was even messier and longer, but the same color as mine nevertheless. He was handsome, but his body looked like it had been overworked. It wasn't lean but not thin either, and his arms weren't that muscular. He seemed so drained of life. He wore a white messy shirt and... He smelled of lotus, and sweat, and somehow, of sea. He must have not taken a shower yet.

"Arthur, this is Percy Jackson, your brother, the one I've been telling you about." Chiron told him, he did not even smile nor offered his hand for me to shake. No bros, no hi, but I could never forget what he said.

"The savior of Olympus," he started with his hoarse but clear voice, looking at me as if searching through my soul. "Why would you save the reason for your despair?"

I flinched at this. It sounded so much like what Luke would say when he was still being controlled by Kronos.

Annabeth dug her hands deeper on my back, I knew that she felt the same, too. Chiron, on the other hand, did not look surprised but he sighed.

"Come on now, Percy, he's just tired. You should go to your cabin now, too, Annabeth." Chiron soon led Annabeth outside after I kissed her, but they stopped on their way out. They looked outside as if seeing a ghost, making them pause on their track.

And you see, I regretted that I was curious, that I peeked outside to see what's happening, because outside was Rachel, with her eyes glowing green with green smoke also escaping through her mouth. She was an oracle ready to speak out another prophecy, and she was heading towards my cabin.
