Here we go, Chapter four. Hope you enjoy.

I do not own Percy Jackson or any of the characters

Where in the World?

Chiron wheeled into his private room after looking through Percy's cabin. He did not know what to think about the newest camper's story or the disappearance of Percy. The description of his bursting into light reminded him eerily of some other events quite like the ones that transpired the last night.

It reminded him of the images of some of the campers overdosing on ambrosia.

But as soon as it came into his mind, he banished it. If there were another explanation, he would find it. It would be a tragedy if he died from too much food of the gods.

Chiron heaved a sigh and turned to the small fountain that ran in his room and always created a rainbow during the day. "Lord Zeus" he said, thinking that he would start with the ruler of the gods.

The lord of the gods swam into view. He was sitting on his throne on Olympus, and he did not look like he was pleased to be talking to Chiron. "Chiron," He boomed, "What do you need."

Chiron bowed a bit in his seat before saying, "Oh mighty Zeus, last night Percy Jackson we reported to have burst into light, and I was wondering if he had been taken by a god."

Zeus frowned. "Why then do you need to talk to me?"

"I wanted to make sure that you had not taken him for some purpose." Chiron said.

Zeus shook his head. "I have not taken him." Then he frowned again. "And yet, I do not remember seeing him today. I do not look every where, but if you are looking for him you should next ask Apollo who sees everything."

Chiron bowed again and said, "Thank you Lord Zeus," then severed the connection.

Next was Apollo, who appeared in the mist with his sunglasses on and driving his car. He smiled when he saw Chiron and said, "Yo, Chiron. What's up?"

"Good day to you as well Apollo." Said Chiron as he bowed again. "I have a question to ask you."

"Shoot." Apollo said without taking his eyes off of the road.

"Last night, Percy Jackson disappeared in a flash of light," Chiron said, pausing as he pushed back the thought of Ambrosia, "And I was wondering if you have taken for some reason."

Apollo paused to think about it, then said, "Nope, I did not take him last night. Why would I need to after all?"

"Just checking," Chiron said, "But can you tell me if you see him today?"

Apollo paused again. Then he frowned and took off his sunglasses. After a full minute of thinking he turned back to Chiron and shrugged. "I can't tell where he is as of now." When he saw Chiron's face sink he said, "But he could just be indoors, or out of the rays of the sun. I may be able to see many things, but if he is not within my rays I won't be able to get a lock on him."

Chiron nodded mutely, then severed the connection. He tried several other gods in the pantheon, but no one had taken him or seen him. His own father was unable to feel his presence. Chiron was about to give up when he remembered one very unlikely candidate.

"Artemis"

The image of the huntresses came up showing her chasing after some game with her maidens. Chiron waited silently until they were done, knowing that he would never get the answers to his question if he interrupted. When they had finally taken down a bear the size of an elephant the goddess turned her attention towards him.

"Chiron," She said, "It is a pleasure to see you again. Thank you for waiting."

"Anything for you my lady." He said in turn bowing. He silently reminded himself that he do these farther apart and with a back support if he was to bow this much again. "I was hoping to ask you a question."

"Proceed." She said.

"Last night, Percy Jackson was having his birthday party in his cabin when he exploded in a flash of light. I was wondering if, for some crazy reason, you have taken him for a quest or something."

Artemis appeared to bristle at the thought of taking the hero. "I did no such thing, nor do I think that I ever will."

Chiron nodded. "I thought as much. I just had to be sure. I was also wondering if you saw what transpired at that cabin last night, and if you saw him after."

The goddess paused like her brother to think about the question. Unlike her sibling, she had an answer. "I do believe that I saw that flash. Then after, I saw a young man who looked like Percy talking and dancing with the girl Annabeth." Then she frowned. "But at the same time, the girl Diana was also with a boy who looked like Percy Jackson."

Chiron also frowned. That was very peculiar that a boy who looked like Percy in two place at once. He would have to think about it some more latter. "Thank you for your observations lady." He said, then severed the connection.

Chiron sat for a while thinking about what he had learned from the gods and goddesses. None of them except Artemis had seen him either today or last night. So far, everything pointed to an overdose of the heavenly food. It would be possible, with him under the influence, that he did not recognize the symptoms that he was about to go up in flames. Whatever happened, Chiron hoped that it was not the case.

The last day of camp dinner was much more hushed than it usually was. Word had gotten out that Percy might have died from the ingestion of Ambrosia and Nectar. The people who were closest to Percy where the most somber. Annabeth had been on the verge of tears when Chiron had told her that he might me dead. But it was Thalia and the Stoll brothers that were just picking at their food wordlessly. They were the ones responsible for the punch whether they liked it or not. The only person who was having a good time was Diana, who was laughing with the other kids at the Hermes table.

Diana had decided to stay at the camp for the winter. After calling her parents and talking to them, they decided that it was best for her to stay at the camp for all of their safety. So she was making the best of the experience and waited for her claiming.

When it was the end of the meal, all of the campers headed down to the fire for the end of summer bonfire. The mood lightened up when everyone got there, and laughter filled the air as the fire was lit. It roared up into a ten foot column and bright blue flames. They sat around and sang all of their favorite camp songs led by the Apollo cabin.

Long after the sun had set, Mr. D walked up to the front of the amphitheater and started his usual impassioned speech.

"Well, it is one more year until I am free of this infernal camp, and I am looking forward to it. In other news, it has also been a good year for you all I presume, so bravo for that. As you know, if you have not decided to stay for the winter, which I hope you did not do, you must vacate the premise by high noon or else the cleaning harpies will devour you. Well, that is all I have to say. Chiron, anything to add?"

Chiron bowed to the director and clopped forward. "It has been a good year for all of the campers gather together today. Congratulations to Tim Thornfoot for completing his quest to serve the grey sisters for a traffic fine and coming back alive."

Applause broke out as the young boy modestly smiled.

"Now for the giving of the beads." Chiron dug a bag out of his saddle and dumped the contents into his hands. The campers leaned forward in anticipation and want to see the beads. Chiron held one up to show the campers, and they all oohed and aahed at it. On the bead was a golden ant head, severed. "To commemorate the extermination of the Myrmekes that were in the woods, and the vast stores of gold we now have in our possession." Chiron said.

The campers lined up to each take one, and when each got his or hers they would look at it in the light, admire it, and slide it onto their necklaces. When everyone had received one, Chiron said, "And now you may go to bed. Have a good!..." His last words dropped off as a blue light washed the amphitheater.

Diana was wondering where it was coming from and why everyone was staring at her face, when she realized that the light was coming from her and that they were no looking at her face, but above it. She herself looked up and gasped at what she saw. A blue trident was already fading from above her head, but she got the message. She had just been claimed like the video said.

Chiron bowed down on his front legs, the rest of the campers following suit. "All hail," He said, "Diana Bowman, Daughter of Poseidon."

Annabeth was the camper chosen to show Diana her new room.

Diana had seen the Poseidon cabin from afar, but had not expected it to look like this. The party decorations were still strewn across the room, and Annabeth frantically tried to clean it all up. Diana just stood there and drank in the salty air when finally Annabeth shoved all of the decorations into one of the corners.

Annabeth was breathing somewhat heavily from the fast work, and blew a stray strand of hair from her face. Diana noticed that it was grey. "That is any interesting color to dye a streak of hair," she commented.

Annabeth looked at her in surprise when she spoke, then looked at the stripe of hair. She smiled sadly, thinking back to the day she and Percy had both received it. "That is just a token from a deed both me and Percy did for the gods."

For a moment, as she was remembering the incident, she thought that outside she heard Percy laughing. But when she focused in on it, it died away. She sighed to herself, then said, "So, this is now your cabin."

"What, you mean I don't have to share it with anyone?" Diana said in disbelief. Annabeth nodded. "Wow! That is awesome!"

"Well, for now. If you had come one day earlier, you would have had to share with your brother." Annabeth remarked. "We think that he is on an errand for the gods, and that he will be back soon. So don't get to comfortable sleeping by yourself."

Diana looked a bit put off from having to share, but brightened up. "What is my brother like?" She asked.

"Well, he is very kind, loyal, powerful, clumsy, hot." Annabeth stopped herself. "Sorry, you probably don't want to hear that. By the way, I'm his girlfriend."

Diana nodded, then said, "You have been somewhat put out today. Did it have to do with him?"

Annabeth nodded back. "Last night we had a party for him here, and while we were drunk me and Percy had a bit of a fight before he was taken. I have been thinking about it all day."

"I'm sure he is fine," Diana said smiling. She started to put her stuff on a bed at the far end of the cabin when Annabeth suddenly said, "I know that it looked like he was taken by a god, but it from the little I can remember it looked more like he exploded."

Diana was caught off guard by this comment, and taken more off guard when Annabeth sat on a bed and started to cry. "I can't help but remember a yell coming from him when he was engulfed by the light," she sobbed, "And how at that point I was just mad at him for talking like he did. I had wished that he would just burn."

Diana came over and sat down next to the older girl, awkwardly soothing her and patting her on the back. Annabeth just buried her face into Diana's shoulder and sobbed even more. After a minuet of crying she stopped, sniffles still escaping. "Thank you," Annabeth said morosely, "It is only your first day and this has happened. I'll just leave you to go to sleep."

Annabeth got up and shuffled out of the cabin, leaving a worried and bewildered Diana to go to sleep in a cabin of memories. When Annabeth lay down to go to sleep in her own cabin, she sat there thinking 'where are you Percy?'
