Ch. 3
The doors opened to the elevator. My eyes got wide as I saw the beautiful temple that was Mount Olympus. It was huge. The Greek architecture was obvious. Inside everything Seemed to be made of gold. in the middle of everything twelve huge chairs sat. They were for people the size of buildings. I didn't even know what to do as several giant human beings appeared in front of the chairs. I felt like my head was about to explode. Each one of the beings sat down. I knew they were the gods. I looked upon them with amazement. "Alright, then. I know this is kind of sudden, but we have a Bit of an upset." a man said. He was obviously the leader. Zeus my mind told me. I kneeled instinctively. Zeus pointed at me. " this young Lady is indeed of godly blood. However, her parent cannot be found. Please speak now if she is your child. " he said. Nobody moved. Nobody spoke. Zeus looked around impatiently. "It's not that hard. If she's your child speak up. We made a promise to young Percy to always claim our children. " Zeus demanded. Nobody even flinched. I really felt horrible kneeling there in the floor. One of the gods was my parents and even they didn't want me. "Nobody is claiming her because she is not the child of a god. " a voice said from the corner of the room. Every head turned to see a beautiful woman with her hair braided down the side of her head. She had kind eyes. "Mother, What are suggesting?" Zeus asked. I turned my head. The woman was Zeus' mom? Now I was really confused. "This child is the daughter of a Titan. She is the daughter of my sister ,Phoebe, and a half-blood. The half-blood is a son of Ares. He has died. Tragic really. " the woman explained. My mind began to clear. I remembered now. The woman's name was Rhea. She was the wife of Cronus. The guy Percy beat last summer. How was I the daughter of a Titan. That didn't make any sense at all. Plus, my mom died giving birth to me. "I do not know if that is true or not mother." Zeus said calmly. Everybody was staring at me now. I didn't like it. "If she is the child of a Titan then she is dangerous. Especially one of the ancient titans." a man with gild hair and eyes. He looked to be about 20 which didn't make sense to me. He had lyre in his hand. "Has anybody even heard from Phoebe in the last 100-200years?" a woman said. My eyes trade to her face. She had brown hair and grey eyes. She looked gorgeous and I knew who she was. It was Athena Annabeth's mother. None of the Gods knew the answer to her question. "Last I knew, Pheobe was in Hawaii. She has remained peaceful there for years. " Rhea said. The Gods nodded in agreement. "And we made a promise to my son to released all of the peaceful Immortal beings. Such as Calypso. " a man with very blue eyes said. He had a trident in one hand. I think it was Poseidon. "So the question is what do we do with her now?" Zeus asked. The gods looked around the room. Waiting or someone to speak. "She will train at Camp- Half-Blood with our children. " Athena said. The others didn't seem to like the idea. "I see no reason why not. She has no connection to her Titan mother. Plus, her father was a son of Ares. It would be un-fair to deny her place at the Camp because she does have our blood in her veins." the woman concluded. The gods seemed to agree now. I really hoped that was a good sign. "All in favor of allowing the Daughter of Phoebe to attend and train at Camp half-blood. " Zeus said. Seven hands were raised. I noticed that one was Athena's and Poseidon raised his hand as well. The guy with the lyre and four other Olympians did not raise there hand. That made me feel a little bit nervous. "Majority votes to send her to camp. Rhea would you please try to contact her mother. I have a few things I'd like to ask her. " Zeus concluded. I breathed a sigh of relief. "Daughter of Phoebe, could you please hive a message to my daughter." Athena asked. I nodded because I was a little shocked. "Tell her that it's time for Daldeus plan 1112. She will know what I mean." Athena said.
I was kind of in shock when I got back to camp. I was alone. There were no other children of titans at the camp. This led me to spend lots of time on my own. I spent most of it in the forest. I liked being there, especially at night when I could see the stars and the moon. The construction of my cabin had begun. I had learned a lot about my mother in the last few days. She was the Titan associated with the moon. She had two Titan daughters. Leto and Asteria. Leto was the mother of Apollo and Artemis. Asteria was the Titan of the stars and necrocramcy. she had one child , Hecate goddess of magic. Pheobe once was in charge of the oracle of Delphi. She has remained peaceful for many years. I sat on a large rock in the middle of the forest. The stars above me shined very brightly. The forest was dark and silent except for a few Naraids. Then I saw something that wasn't a Naraid. A figure that I could see through floated above the ground through the forest. It was the figure of a young girl. She wore hippie clothing with lots of beads. She looked almost asleep. My instincts told me she looked familiar. The figure floated by unnoticed by the naraids. Curiosity got the best of me. I decided to go check it out. "Excuse me, Um.. Hippie girl. " I called. The figure didn't look at me. How rude? "Floating, hippie child. I see you who are you?" I asked. This time the figure turned to look at me. "You can see me?" she said quietly. I looked around. The naiads seemed to not notice the girl. "Yea, why shouldn't I be able to?" I asked. I was so confused. The girl shook her head. "Child, I'm dead. So you must be a child of Hades. That's the second one this week. " the girl said. Dead? I was seeing the dead? Now I must have gone crazy. "No, my mother is the Titan Phoebe. " I explained. The ghost jaw dropped. "Phoebe. Her child Asteria was the Titan of necrocramcy. That's why you can see me. Phoebe used to be in charge of the orcale I'd Delphi. That's who I used to be. Now I have been freed and must make my way to Hades domain. Now tell me which way is California?" the ghost asked. Hades domain was in California? Whoa, information overload. "California is that way. " I said pointing west. The ghost nodded and continued on her journey. "You can see her too?" a voice said from behind me. I turned to find a boy about my age. He wore a black tshirt and leather jacket. His hair was black to and so was his eyes. "Yea, my mother's Pheobe the Titan. Her daughter Asteria is the Titan of necrocramcy. You must be the son of Hades the ghost was talking about. " I explained. I felt a little but better knowing I wasn't crazy. The boy nodded. "Daughter of a Titan. Now I've really seen everything. So when did they find you?" he asked. Darkness had set on the forest. I could just barely see his face. He was taller than me. It felt weird looking up at him. "First day."I mumbled. He smirked. "Second year. " he replied. I noticed he had a black sword that hung at his waist. "Your a son of Hades right? Annabeth said something about you earlier. " I babbled. He nodded. "I'm Nico. Where I they keeping you tonight?" he asked. I pointed towards the Big House(apparently Demi-gods aren't very creative with names). "I'm Tessa. " I mentioned. This seemed to click in Nico's mind. "Nice to meet you, Tessa. I really hope you don't die. If you do I will know. Rachel sleeps in the Big house too. She can keep you company. She's normally a great person. Unless, she's giving a prophecy. " Nico said. The confused look on my face gave him an excuse to keep talking. "Rachel is the Oracle. She sees the future and gives prophecies. She stays here in the Summer. The girl ghost you just saw was the Oracle before her. " he explained. I wondered if Rachel knew I was coming. Did she predict things like that? "I don't need much company. I've been on my own for awhile now. " I muttered. Nico wasn't surprised by this. "Most Demi-gods are. Here its different. I don't really belong here though. Hades was never really welcomed by the gods. Until Percy came along. Now, my dads important again. There wasn't a hades cabin here before me." he said bitterly. I felt a little but left out when i got here. There was no place for me. "There wasn't a cabin for Phoebe, until I got here. I doubt it will change anything. There was never cabins for the titans. Was there?" I asked. Nico shook his head. I guessed as much. My eyes glanced back up at the stars. Where did I belong?
