Chapter 3

A/N:

This is my first foray into fanfiction, so please tell me what you think. I have read many PJO and KC crossovers but they mostly seem to be either mortal AUs or have the demigods as more powerful than the magicians. Because of this I decided to write a fanfiction where the Kane siblings, and other magicians, are at least as powerful as the demigod. Carter properly takes his place as Pharaoh in this story with Sadie giving advice (and probably insults too).

My story is an AU so don't flame me because my characters are OOC. I am not Rick Riordan so they can never be how he imagines them. Also I am not American so I'll probably use English slang, language and spelling.

Please review with any constructive criticism, compliments (hopefully) or anything else you might want to say. No flames please. Though I can't really stop anyone from flaming, I will just ignore them.

I am not Rick Riordan and the only thing I own is the plot and any OC's I may use.

Felix thought for a second. "How about a penguin?" he asked, reaching his hand out.

The demigods jumped back as a penguin appeared in front of them.

"I don't know about you guys but I think I believe the magician thing," said Leo quickly, "And as that seems to be true the Pharaoh thing and the garden gnome thing might be true too."

"I don't know," said Jason, "It could be some sort of illusion."

"An illusion," returned Nico, "An illusion with a penguin. Really? C'mon, it seems far more likely he is a magician like he says he is than a mortal who does magic tricks using penguins. Where would he even get a penguin from? Are people allowed to have them as pets?"

"Well, I want more evidence than that." replied Jason.

"Um, okay," said Felix raising his hand again and curving his fingers into a strange position, "Se-kebeb."

Ice crept over the deck around him, coating it and curling around Felix's feet like a pet. The penguin started to move around, playing on the ice.

The demigods were instantly suspicious.

"I think I accept the magic part now," Jason agreed.

"But ice?" said Piper warily, "Do you know the goddess Khione?"

"Khione, no, I've never heard of her. I follow the Egyptian god or goddess of ice, but I'm not sure who he or she is yet. There's not much call for cold in Egypt." answered Felix. "Also in answer to your question creepy looking but smart guy, Jax is from Antarctica but I don't know if you are allowed to have penguins as pets, I just summon them because penguins are awesome."

"His name is Nico, not creepy looking but smart guy." defended Hazel, "Don't insult my brother."

"It wasn't an insult," replied Felix, "Being smart is good and being creepy is fun when you freak other people out. It doesn't really work for me, though, as they just seem to find me 'adorable'. I'm not adorable. I have cool ice powers, my staff can turn into a polar bear and I can summon penguins. How is that adorable?" he questioned, confused.

"Um, thank you?" replied Nico, "I think that was a complement, but I'm not completely sure."

"It was a complement," said Felix defensively, "I think you're cool, and I like cool things."

"Okay," answered Nico, sounding confused, "Thank you again."

"Let's get back on track here guys," Annabeth interjected, "There's a kid with magical powers who says he's not a demigod but a magician who follows Egyptian gods? I have a lot of questions."

"What do you mean by Egyptian gods. They are the only gods, right?" said Felix, his certainty reducing as he saw the demigod's faces.

"Okay, so I'm guessing you're gonna drop a bombshell on me about there being other gods, right? continued Felix.

"Um, yeah." answered Frank, "The Greek and Roman gods are real, though I'm not certain about any others. If the gods haven't told us about the Egyptians, other pantheons might be real too."

"Okay Frank, let's not get ahead of ourselves and focus on the Egyptian gods first." said Leo, "Let's not have our minds blown completely today, only partially."

"So Felix," started Annabeth, "Are there Egyptian demigods?"

"I don't think so," answered Felix, "But they can be hosted by people or animals."

"Okay, hold up." interrupted Jason, "Hosted? Like taking over and controlling people? Like possession?"

"Not really," replied Felix, "The god and the person hosting them, called the god's Eye, have to be unified and trust one another for them to share power. If they can't, or the host is weak, the host can explode, or fall into a coma."

"Do you host a god or goddess Felix?" asked Piper.

"No, because I don't know who I follow yet so I can't really ask them to be hosted by me. I use sympathetic magic which means I channel a god or goddesses power but I don't know whose power I channel, though some people do. I have blood of the Pharaohs, meaning I am descended from a Pharaoh, which means it is easier for me to follow the Path of the Gods as most Pharaohs hosted gods, usually Horus, themselves. I do know people who hast gods though. My friends Sadie, Carter and Zia do and so does Sadie's boyfriend Walt. How does being Greek or Roman work?" said Felix.

"Well," answered Leo, "Basically the gods go round falling in love with mortals and having kids, aka us. They then get us to go on quests to do things, like save the world or retrieve a golden apple of immortality, whilst being hunted by monsters because we smell bad. We hardly ever see them, though some gods are better at seeing their kids than others."

"It has been getting better though. They promised to claim their kids at thirteen and loads of the minor gods have cabins at camp now instead of just staying in the Hermes cabin." said Percy.

"But only because you made them promise, Percy." replied Annabeth.

"That sounds pretty bad but it's not much different here. Demons try to kill us, Apophis tried to destroy the world and the House of Life, until the Pharaoh took over last year, trying to kill everyone who followed the Path of the Gods." said Felix.

"What's the House of Life anyway, you didn't really explain?" asked Hazel.

"Oh, sorry. The House of Life is an organization of Egyptian magicians founded by the god Thoth. In ancient times, each temple in Egypt had a branch. It is made up of three hundred and sixty nomes, spelt N – O – M – E, not G – N – O – M – E by the way, across the globe that kinda govern a particular district. The First Nome is here in Egypt and is where everything is mainly run from. The House of Life hasn't had a Pharaoh since the fall of Egypt until last year so the Chief Lector, the most powerful magician in the world, has ruled in the Pharaoh's place, but at the foot of the throne, not in it.

Before the new Pharaoh and the new Chief Lector Amos Kane, the House of Life had imprisoned the gods for ages and tried to keep them from resurfacing. They also tried to destroy godlings or the hosts of gods. Thankfully, things have changes as the Chief Lector and the Pharaoh are the Eyes of gods themselves." answered Felix.

"But anyways, I'll have to take you guys to see the Pharaoh."

A/N: This chapter is over a thousand words! Yey!
