AN: Have you guys been dying of curiosity. Well, here is the answer. Enjoy the chapter.
A.J
"My Olympian parent is…" A.J stared out at everyone's expectant faces. Everybody was looking eagerly at him to finish. "… Hestia, goddess of family and tender of the flame." The expectant air in the room turned to stunned silence. The look on everybody's face was so comical, A.J couldn't help but laugh. However, after about a minute of silence, his laughter fizzled out. Everybody was still staring at him, then all at once, they started talking.
"Hermes." Said Annabeth.
"Hermes." Said Percy.
"Hermes." Said Thalia.
"Hermes." Said Piper.
"Hermes." Said Jason.
"Meh." Said Rachel. Everyone looked at her. She looked around and started blushing. "I mean, Hermes." Then everybody focused their attention back to A.J, who looked quite shocked.
"Why do you all think I'm a Hermes kid?" he asked.
"Because Hermes is the trickster god, and well, that was some practical joke you just played." Said Percy. When everybody nodded, A.J knew that none of them believed him.
"Why is it so hard to believe that I'm the son of Hestia?" he asked.
"Hestia is a maiden goddess." Said Annabeth. "She can' have children." A.J looked at her… and busted out laughing. He laughed harder than he did a few minutes ago, and by the time he was done, he was rolling on the floor, crying his eyes out, with six people staring at him in confusion. When he finally calmed down enough to form a complete sentence he stood up and looked directly at Annabeth.
"Is that seriously the only reason why you don't believe me?" he asked. "You'll need to do way better than that if you want to convince me."
"What are you talking about?" Annabeth asked.
"Let me answer your question with one of my own, daughter of Athena. What is your mother?" Annabeth looked quite irritated.
"A goddess." She said. A.J couldn't help but chuckle at her naivety.
"A maiden goddess, Annabeth. Your mother is a maiden goddess." He said "If you can be alive despite that, why not me?" Annabeth was so shocked, she actually fell over. So did practically everyone else, except Rachel. She was doodling on her pants, and then she looked up and saw that everyone was on the floor, so she fell over too. "I can even explain how I was born, if you want." A.J continued. Before anyone could reply to that, there was a crash outside. Immediately, everyone stood up and ran out the door. A.J was the last, and he nearly ran into Jason, who was staring at a giant… thing that landed in the middle of the camp. After it stood and stretched A.J realized that it was a bronze dragon, easily taller than the trees. It blew fire into the sky, and then it collapsed.
"No way." Said Jason, with awe. Then he took off, sprinting right for the dragon. He was followed by everyone, including A.J. When they got right up close to the dragon, they heard a voice.
"Di immortals, this is the fifth time you've crashed on me, Festus. You really need a better hobby." Said the voice.
"Calm down Leo, at least nothing blew up this time." Said another voice, this one a female. Just then, the right wing (at least A.J assumed it was the right wing) exploded. Then A.J could hear some cursing from the other voice, which must be this Leo person.
"You were saying, Calypso." When Percy heard that, he stopped so suddenly that Annabeth ran straight into him, and they both fell down. A.J didn't have any time to go back and help them because right then, two people walked out from behind the dragon. One was a short Latino-looking guy with shorts and a t-shirt. The other was a pretty girl in jeans and a t-shirt that matched Leo's . Both of them were covered from head to toe in oil. "I wonder if anyone from camp heard us crash h-"he didn't get to finish, because Piper talked him in a flying hug.
"LEO!" she screamed happily. Then, when she got off from him and helped him up, she punched him in the stomach. "Do you have any idea how worried we were after that explosion? We thought you were DEAD." She might have yelled at him some more, but Jason put a hand on her shoulder and she calmed down. Then he bent down to help Leo up.
"Okay, firstly, I was dead after that explosion, but I rigged Festus to give me the physician's cure we worked so hard to get. Secondly, I promised that I would go back for Calypso, so I did. Thirdly, beauty queen, in case you haven't noticed, I CAME BACK!" After Leo stopped his ranting, he took a deep breath. "So, yeah, introductions." He said before Piper could reply. "Everyone, this is Calypso. Calypso, this is Piper, Jason, Annabeth, Thalia, Rachel, and, um Percy." He said pointing to everyone, but when he got to Percy, Calypso started freaking out.
"YOU!" She shouted. She unsheathed a katana, a Japanese samurai sword, and charged straight at Percy. Everybody was frozen in shock, Except for A.J. In a flash, he stepped in front of Calypso, and grabbed her sword with his bare hands. Then, in one quick motion, he flipped Calypso over his shoulder and placed his foot on her stomach, holding the katana to her throat.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Said Leo, shaking out of his trance. "What just happened? One minute we're having a happy reunion, the next my girlfriend tries to decapitate Percy. Then this guy comes out of nowhere and stops her just like that. Who is this guy anyway?" When he finally stopped to take a breath, A.J realized that this kid was seriously hyper, even for a demigod. Before A.J could tell Leo who he was, Leo changed track again. He walked over to Calypso and helped her up. Then he had to restrain her from trying to hurt Percy again. "Okay Calypso, I know you're upset, but just calm down." They stood there like that for a few minutes, Leo holding calypso, whispering calming words to her. When It looked like things had finally calmed down, Annabeth chose that moment to come out of her trance. She drew a sword that looked to be made of bone, and charged straight at Calypso. Before she got there, a wall of ruby red fire erupted between them. When everybody looked at Leo, who was equally hocked, they heard a voice.
"ENOUGH!" shouted A.J, Whose eyes were burning with the same red fire.
