A/N: :( I feel sad seeing my reviews. I know you guys are reading my story … but you're just not reviewing enough

Anyways, before I start another chapter, I have a little question for you guys: Who wants to have their characters on my story? I won't be posting that I need OCs on my summary, so I'll really know who reads my stories~

To those people who do want to have their own demigods interact with Polaris, please PM your OCs. OC forms sent thru review will be ignored. I prefer to have them in the following format:

Name:

Age:

Gender:

Mortal Parent:

Godly Parent: (only Titans and Olympians are available, ok?)

Weapon: (be creative! There are more weapons than arrows, daggers and swords out there!)

Good or Evil: (I need evil demigod/demititans too!)

If you choose evil; Reason for being evil:

Personality: (please be realistic as possible!)

Physical appearance: (describe your OC to me!)

I repeat; please PM your OCs. OC forms sent thru review will be ignored. I'll be posting if I have enough OCs on the next chapter

Ten-Faced: yeah, I changed the summary… I might also do some minor tweakings to my past chapters, but they won't affect the main storyline. And thanks for the heads up about the songs ^^; I'll try posting links if I can

Disclaimer: Rick Riordan owns the whole PJO and HoO series. I only own Polaris.

Hello, how are you?

I managed to grab Rachel before she hit the floor. After shakily placing her on a chair, I turned to Chiron.

"What was that?" I stuttered out, slightly shivering.

Chiron closed his eyes as if in prayer. "A prophecy –" He shook his head. "A warning if you look at it. Polaris, I assume you have more questions after what happened at the dinner pavilion."

I nodded, taking a seat as well. "If you don't mind, I wanted to ask; do you know that guy? I'm positive he was the one who led me here. Is there anyway that I can talk to him?"

Chiron exhaled. Staring at the rising sun outside the Big House, he looked weary, as if telling me the truth can be a matter of life or death. "I'm afraid that I don't know any means to talk to him. But I can tell you only something about him."

I leaned forward, anticipating his next statement.

"His name is Aether, son of Nyx and consort of Hemera. He is your step-brother."

After the awkward pause, Chiron guided me out of the REC room, saying that I should prepare for breakfast. He also gave me a list of activities I can try out after breakfast.

As I went out of the Big House, I saw Annabeth walking towards me.

"Morning Annabeth. Percy's inside with Grover and Nico." I said, smiling weakly.

Annabeth's eyes studied my face. "Are you alright? You look pretty pale."

"I guess it's just my complexion." I lied. The scenario back at the REC room still haunted me and I can't tell her that.

"Yeah, I guess. I'll be inside if you need me, okay?" Annabeth said, entering inside.

Breakfast was a bit uncomfortable. With all the whispers and stares I keep receiving, I felt like I was in a cage out for everyone to point and make fun at.

Not to mention the whole thing with Rachel and Chiron's statement.

I mentally slapped myself. If I keep moping around like this, Percy and the others might know, and they'll get worried. Making them worry is not high on my to-do list.

Glancing at the list of activities Chiron gave me, I then made a mental schedule on what I should try out later.

With any luck, I might be in a better mood after trying them out.

First on the list – Archery

Watching the Apollo kids shoot every arrow flawlessly on each target (and hit perfect center too), I immediately knew archery wouldn't be that easy.

Grabbing a spare bow and arrow, I managed to hit the target at my 3rd try. One of the Apollo kids complimented me and said that if I practiced, I can be awesome at archery in no time.

How I wish.

Next came sword – fighting.

I mentally cringed as I saw the Ares counselor (Clarisse, if I'm not mistaken) pulverize the straw dummy she was practicing on. Slowly edging away from the sword arena, I made a mental note to never, ever make her angry.

Unless I'm ready to die. But not on this lifetime though.

The Hecate cabin managed to drag me into their Magic and Incantations class. They were probably awed on how I was able to repel the dark shadow last night.

But after numerous tries on magic incantations, I politely said that I might not have enough magic for it. They invited me back though, and it seems interesting too so I might come back.

By lunchtime, I managed to cross off a couple of items on my list.

These are the things I came up so far:

Archery

Arts and Crafts (who knew drawing and painting can be relaxing?)

Magic and Incantations (I wonder how will Chiron react if I said I'm just watching though)

Foot racing (The wood nymphs jokingly told me about Percy being slower than them. I personally took this class though to work on my 'running away' skills)

I stared down at the list "So there's Ancient Greek, Canoeing and –…"

A cold hand grabbing my shoulder threw out of the thoughts. "Ahhh!" I yelped.

The cold hand withdrew. "Sorry. I never meant to scare you."

On instinct, I whirled behind to look.

"Umm … Nico?" I blinked at the stranger. "Son of Hades…." I added.

"Uhh, yeah. You're Polaris right?" Nico said, a bit unsure. "Sorry about last night."

I shrugged. "It's alright. You're feeling better now though, right? Percy said that you tend to faint when shadow –traveling and stuff…"

Nico sighed. "I guess Percy told you I tend to do that most of the time huh? I only needed to nap after shadow traveling. Thanks for asking though."

Staring at the list on my hand, he smirked. "Camp activities?"

I nodded. "Yeah. So far I got archery to practice for… I wanna try sword fighting though …"

Nico blinked. "Got any weapons with you?"

"Well, I don't have one yet. Can you help me? I'm kind of scared around the Hephaestus guys" I said, rubbing my head sheepishly.

Nico smirked. "C'mon. Armory's this way."

After sifting through dozen of swords, daggers and axes, I happen to end up with a double-edged sword. The gleaming celestial bronze looked wicked against the sun.

"So?" Nico said, looking at me. "How does it feel?"

I grasped the hilt tightly, feeling its weight. "It feels okay. Not too heavy." I did some experimental swings. "Although it feels weird swinging it."

Nico nodded. "You're just adjusting to the extra weight on your hands."

I sighed. "I just hope I don't accidentally cut something while practicing with this. I feel that I'm so gonna suck at sword practices. "

Nico smirked as he grasped his own sword's hilt. "There is a way to find out if you're any good."

I blinked, placing my sword back on its scabbard. "How?"

Nico's wicked grin came as a reply. "C'mon."

I'm still clueless on how Nico managed to make me agree to spar with him. So far, I'm feeling quite a number of bruises on my body, not to mention I'm drenched with sweat.

In short; I'm totally regretting agreeing with him.

Nico swung his Stygian sword at me. Instinctively, I raised my sword to defend, but his blow was too much. I landed on my butt, the sword clattering out of my hand.

Nico held out his hand. "I thought you were joking when you said you suck."

I scowled at him. "I don't joke about things I don't know, di Angelo." I grumbled, accepting his hand.

Nico stared at me. "Why the scars?" He asked, gesturing to a small scar on my nose.

I blinked. "I have no idea. Guess I was born with it... but then again..."I trailed off, twirling a stray lock of my hair.

The awkward silence was destroyed when somebody cleared his throat.

"Never knew you'd be the teaching type, Nico."Percy said as he approached us.

Nico scowled at him "That's none of your business."

Percy chuckled. "All right. But I need to borrow Polaris for Ancient Greek. Annabeth's kinda worried about her."

"Oh.. right. I was about to go to her too.." I said, taking out the list from my pocket.

Percy smiled. "Let's go together then, shall we?"

Following Percy and Nico, we arrived at the Athena Cabin. Annabeth looked at us from the porch and waved.

"Finally! I thought Percy would take forever to find you two!" She said, playfully punching Percy's shoulder.

"Hey! I'm not that irresponsible, you know~" Percy whined, earning a laugh from us girls .

"So, Ancient Greek, hmm?" I said, picking a random book from the table at the porch

Scanning the contents, I inwardly gave out a sigh of relief. The words are still written in English letters.

"Yeah... I kinda have a feeling you'd like this class -" Annabeth trailed off, staring at the book I have on my hands.

Nico raised an eyebrow at me. "You can read that?"

I nodded. "Of course ~ It's not like this book's written in Greek or something ." I looked at the cover. " History of Alchemy; The rules of the universe. Sounds cool."

Annabeth looked at me like I was on fire. "... Are the letters flying off the page, Polaris?"

I blinked. "Should it? It seems fine to me."

Oblivious to the looks the three of them gave me, I continued reading the random page I saw;

It is said that everything came from a dark void, a gap;

It was said that from this void , the world was created;

Other say that this void was the Mother of the Universe

and most commonly known as

Chaos

I slightly gasped after reading it. A flash of memories came to mind in an instant.

A woman of incomparable beauty was talking to an equally handsome man. They looked so happy, and on the woman's face can be seen the happiness and love of her her arms was a child, no younger than a few days old

"She's beautiful, just like you" The man said, staring at the child on her arms.

The woman laughed slightly, cradling the baby as if it was her treasure. "Yes she is. What shall we name her?"

Then the scene went black, and a cold female voice was heard. "You shall pay for this foolishness, mortal"

I know Annabeth and the others would really like to know what's wrong with me. After all, I did space out in front of them while reading a book normally. (Apparently, dyslexia means that one has a weird condition where letters fly off a page when reading.)

Luckily, the conch horn for dinner sounded. Percy, being the dense one in the group, made us go to the pavilion even when Annabeth was giving him death glares for interrupting her would-be interrogation.

Oh joy. I'm sure I'm gonna get ambushed later.

A/N: Urkk .. Finally updated _ ~! And I repeat; I only accept OC forms that are PMed to me, not on the reviews. Ciao ~!
