The floor of the throne room was crowded with Greek and Roman halfbloods and legacies. The gods, being 40 foot tall giants, were careful not to squash them. Chatter filled the room while Artemis and her hunters came in. The group of girls in matching silver outfits followed the goddess and avoiding all boys, save for Jason and Percy.

Artemis gave a death glare at the sons of Apollo with her moonlit eyes. It was effective considering her dark hair, which was in a braid thrown over her shoulder , made them pop even more. The hunters weren't her daughters, they were immortal handmaidens who went on adventures, but they were not allowed to date boys. Apparently, many boys here didn't believe in that rule.

But the children of Apollo turned away, none wanting to be skewered by her silver arrows.

Finally Hermes flew through the doors toward Zeus.

Bowing at Hera, he told Zeus,"All are here." He went back to his throne, resting his head. He set his caduceus down next to him. Zeus stood and the room fell quiet.

"Now, to answer why you are all gatgered her is simple. The world's in peril."

Percy grunted,"When isn't it?"

"Before, after the first giant war, everything was calm," he started. He turned to Hera, who had done her hair in a braid and had her crown on this time,waiting for her to continue. She nodded.

"When Hercules was born, I don't remember half of what I had done to him, but I will admit to this. I was encouraged to do so. This was only the first phase."

Piper, a daughter of Aphrodite, nodded,"Like how Khione influenced Zeus to close Olympus off and you to leave Olympus beforehand and into a trap."

Hera nodded,"After Hercules was a made a god, the second phase began. Apollo had been encouraged to kill Orion and break Artemis's spirits. Seeing her so devastated depressed Apollo. Odysseus had also been told to blind Polyphemus, which would cause Poseidon's rage. Aphrodite was distraught when Adonis's death had happened and so on."

"Whatever was trying to destroy made you feel helpless to make it an easy win,"Annabeth commented.

Athena nodded and she continued,"The third phase, we were tunred against each other. We realized what was going on and eventually learned to supress our scorn against each other. The fourth phase, we constantly ran into problems. It terrified us but It feeds off of fear. That's what gave It form."

"Wait, what's it?" Percy asked.

"It is everything," Apollo responded.

"And It is nothing," Artemis added.

Ares continued, his ree eyes boring into them,"It is all the evil and darkness. It encourages the bad and weakens the good."

The usual light hearted mood Hermes was always in changed into a dark one, which unnerved the half bloods,"It is the most dangerous enemy we have faced. If we were to stay and fight something that could destroy Kronos or Gaia or herself..."

"You'd be destroyed, "Jason said.

"And you want us to fight,"Reyna declared.

Aphrodite gasped, "Heavens no! Not even you are strong enough to fight such an entity. But there is someone who could be stronger than It."

A familiar voice rang out which brought tears to the eyes of the Seven,"Notice how she said could."

The Seven turned to face Leo, a son of Hephaestus, that was believed to have died in an explosion to help the cause of defeating Gaia. But using a bit of magic, he came back from the dead.

"How-?"Nico, a son of Hades, asked in disbelief.

"The Physician's Cure brought me back. And I got a surprise,"a girl appeared. Leo wrapped an arm around her and they exchanged a light kiss.

Frank, a son of Mars, stared at Leo,"How-?"

"Calypso?"Percy stared at the girl.

"Uh, you were saying?"

Annabeth continied glaring at Percy but then she brought her attention back to the gods. "There is a small quest that must be fulfilled by the greatest heroes!" Zeus announced. "They must embark on a journey to save the future of Olympus and the world."

The halfbloods talked amongst themselves already knowing who the lucky candidates were. Zeus continued earning their silence, "These heroes shall be: Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. Jason Grace, son of Jupiter. Frank Zhang, son of Mars. Leo Valdez,son of Hephaestus. And Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades."

The five boys stood as the mortals claimed to have known. Hera stood next to Zeus as the room grew quiet once more,"Their companions are: Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. Piper Mclean, daughter of Aphrodite. Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto. Clarisse La Rue, daughter of Ares. Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus. And Reyna Avila Ramirez De Arellano, daughter of Bellona. These heroes shall guide the future of the world."

Many were actually surprised to hear Thalia and Clarisse's name mentioned but then they became confused at the last line. Annabeth suddenly realized,"Are you saying that-?"

Athena nodded,"Yes, we are in danger and we must go into hiding. A place where not even you can know. Olympus shall be ruled over by a different generation. One stronger than ours. In the mortal world, there are mortal that It hasn't seen yet. These mortals can see through the mist but they also have undiscovered powers. We must get them to Olympus before It discovers them."

"Mortals?"

"Yes but in order to do so we must know who they are."

Instantly, the hearth erupted and sparks jumped out, its red glow turned blue and basked the room in its light. Hestia spoke up gently,"Let us meet the future rulers of Olympus."
