Never mind! I'm going to make the chapters about 2000 words instead of 3000 so I can get more done. However, they will only be posted once a week no matter how many I finish.

I hope you enjoy this chapter.


Reyna led the trio around the camp while the demigods led their parents to their respective cabins. Percy and his father were having a small conversation by the time they reached their destination. Percy stopped at the cabin door and reluctantly said, "There's something I should tell you before-"

Percy didn't get to finish because Poseidon went ahead and entered the room. Poseidon whistled impressively. "I like what the six of you has done with the place." He looked through the window wall to the back porch, directly at the hammock. "I see Annabeth has found a new favorite reading spot."

Percy sighed. "How long have you known?"

"Since the summer began. The Olympians can tell how many people are in their cabin. We can't tell who they are or what they are doing." Poseidon snapped his fingers, which caused the fountain to move to the center of the room and make the flow of the water grow faster. "Hades and I will be staying in the Big House rooms for that reason."

"Why Hades too?"

Poseidon let out an amused laugh that echoed throughout the whole room. "Hades has a sneaking suspicion that Nico and Will don't just sleep in his cabin."

Percy shrugged his shoulders as he sat on the end of his bed. "I'm not going to argue with that. Nico would be in here when we all go to bed, but we wake up the next day and he's not there. Then we find him sitting next to Will in the dining pavilion with a failed attempt at hiding hickeys that appeared over night."

"Hades would get a kick out of that." The god of the seas searched the cabin if there was anything else he could do with the cabin, then he noticed the largest bed in the room. "Tyson's?"

"We thought it would be nice to have it in here in case he visited." Percy explained. "We tried to move it out of the way, but it didn't work."

Poseidon snapped his fingers one more time, this time making Tyson's bed big enough to fit in the palm of a hand. The miniature bed floated in the air and sat on the top of a random dresser that was closest to it. "If Tyson comes to visit set the bed down and it will grow to full size." Poseidon provided. Admiring his handy work, he announced, "This looks so much better now!"

Percy waited until his sat on one of the bunk beds. "Dad, why are those two mortals here?" he interrogated. "And who is that girl that looks like Artemis?"

Poseidon sighed, knowing that question was going to be asked. "I won't give away too many details because your friends are going to explain it to you tonight." The sea god informed. "However, I will tell you that man is the girl's father, Steve. He has gotten very close with Diana, not Artemis, so she will be staying in her Roman form the whole time for him."

"How close?" Percy wondered.

"She's fallen in love with him." Poseidon answered casually as he laid back on the mattress. "They've actually started dating a few months back."

"What about her vow against men? Doesn't he know about it?"

"He does now. Diana's been trying to figure out how to reverse her vow since they met about two years ago. Jupiter finally took the vow away about a week ago. Now Diana doesn't have to fear punishment for being with Steve."

"How is she going to tell her Huntresses?" Percy continued to question. "They aren't going to be happy when they find out."

"I know." Poseidon agreed. "But Thalia will sympathize with her since she is not over Luke."

"Still?" Percy moved to where he was leaned against the headboard. "He's been dead for over two years."

Poseidon shrugged his shoulders the same way his son did moments ago. "There is something I should tell you before we leave for lunch." Poseidon sat up from the bed with a smile on his face and a familiar twinkle in his eyes. "Athena and I have agreed to a truce, our rivalry is no more."

"Since when?"

"Since you and Annabeth fell into Tartarus." The immortal answered immediately. "At that time we agreed to a temporary one until we could figure out a way to get the two of you out. It became permanent when you confessed your love to Annabeth in Athens, where my feud with Athena had began."

The horn for lunch finally blew. Poseidon gestured to the door. "Go ahead and tell her the good news. I'll meet up with you in a bit."


Hazel and Nico were escorting their father and step-mother to their respective cabin. "Here we are!" Hazel announced as she entered the room.

Pluto waited until they were all in the cabin before he closed the door behind him. "How have you been feeling Hazel?" He interrogated with worry evident in his voice. "Any changes since we have arrived?"

Hazel shook her head. "No, nothing's changed. I only have a stress headache because of Reyna warning me ahead of time."

"What are you talking about?" Nico immediately wondered.

Pluto sighed. "You will find out tonight." Then there was a sudden mischief look in the god's eyes. "However, I would like to find out why you come in here in the middle of the night when I know you have been sleeping in Poseidon's cabin the whole summer."

Proserpina hid her smile behind her hand while Hazel wasn't afraid to giggle. "Someone's caught." She teased her blushing brother.

Nico, his blush growing slightly, had the courage to ask his father, "Are you mad?"

"I would be mad if he was using you." Pluto said as he made sure to lean against a wall instead of sitting on the bed. "But since that is not the case, I am happy for you. However, I know you will be back in here tomorrow night with him, so I will be staying in the Big House's guest's room with my middle brother while Proserpina will be staying in her mother's cabin."

In an attempt to change the subject, Nico pulled a box, no bigger than the palm of her hand, out of his pocket with Hazel do the same thing. "We made these for you." Nico handed his to his step-mother while Hazel handed hers to her father. "We hope you like it."

The married couple shared a look before they opened their presents, necklaces. Proserpina's was a beautiful flower with pale yellow, almost translucent, petals with an orange center. Pluto's was a simple metal skull with a gold gem in the eye sockets.

"We made ourselves those too." Hazel untuck the necklace from her shirt to reveal hers being the flower and Nico showing that his was the skull. "The reason why we did that flower is because it was said to be called 'Persephone'. We thought it fit you."

"Hazel also charmed them." Nico quickly added. "The color reflects how close we are to each other. The flower turns pale and the skull's eyes glows if we are close. They turn dark and dull when we are far apart."

Proserpina was so touched by the gift she didn't realize her husband had put it on her. "Thank you. I do not deserve such a gift."

"Sure you do," Hazel encouraged with the sweet smile on her face. "We've just never thought to get you one till now."

Before anything else could be said, the horn for lunch was blown. "I say we enjoy some food." Pluto opened the door for his family. "I have a feeling it will be an interesting lunch."


"Why was that man following you around like a lost puppy?" Thalia interrogated her half-sisters after she had entered her respective cabin. The young huntress had showed Vesta and the man the former's cabin first before leading Diana's to hers.

"That man's name is Steve." Diana informed her as she tossed her bag of belongings on her bed, which was moved to where one of the long sides was pushed against the back wall, and laid on top of it with her back to Thalia. "He is the Flame's father."

"What and who is this 'Flame'?" Thalia harassed as her voice became more harsher. "And why the hell did 'Steve' have his arm wrapped around you like you two are-"

"You will find out about the Flame later." The goddess interrupted as she closed her eyes to prepare for her sister's response to her answer for the second question. "And the truth is Steve and I have been together for a few months now."

Diana waited for Thalia to throw a fit before she did anything else. However, Thalia's reaction was the exact opposite of what she predicted. "How did you fall in love with him?" Thalia questioned with her voice being so gentle than it was moments before.

For some reason, the way the question was asked broke Diana mentally. "I do not know," she confessed as she started to wipe away stray tears. "He was the only man to not fear my temper. He did not know about my old vow to swear of men until recently."

"Old?"

"Jupiter took it away a week ago." Diana turned herself around so she could see her sister, but the tears were still falling. "I truly hope you can forgive me for what I have done, but I do not regret my decision either."

Thalia sighed. Thinking for a couple minutes a smile slipped on to her lips. "You're lucky you're my sister and I love you." She motioned her head to the door. "Come on. Let's get a head start to the mess hall so you can have a seat next to your boyfriend. I know Nico hates it when that doesn't happen with him."


"Poseidon informed me about the details of the Flame." Athena told her daughter as soon as horn for lunch blew. "I promise I will try to help the two stay away from each other."

"What happen to your rivalry?" Annabeth asked as they exited the cabin. "You're making it sound like there's not one anymore."

"We came to a truce when you fell in Tartarus." Athena confessed. "Though I think Percy was wanting to tell you himself."

"How do you know?"

Athena didn't say anything to answer the question. All she did was smile innocently with a mischievous look in her eyes. Before Annabeth could question her, she was being picked up from behind and twirled around.

"Did you hear the news?" Percy, who was the one that did that action, interrogated excitedly. "Their feud is done!"

Annabeth smiled at her beloved boyfriend as she nodded happily. "We can celebrate later. For now let's go eat."


This chapter is officially over! The next chapter will be up next Monday. Just a tiny little spoiler, it will be about what happens during lunch, the bonfire, and after the bonfire.
