Summary: They were greedy and they knew, but couldn't help but want what was not theirs. Yet they continued on, they thought that since they are Gods they can get whatever they wanted, but they didn't know their limits. They didn't know that Percy wouldn't let them have him.
Warning: Hint of slash if you look REALLY closely, one shot, maybe character death if you want to know read to the very end.

Nathan (Yup your going first, buddy.)
I dashed off towards the others as soon as I heard the news. Today we're going to have a new director! I mean sure I kinda care for my dad, but he's such a grouch! Where's the fun in being a grouch? I dashed off towards the Khione cabin. I banged on the door a few times, and another camper of Khione opened the door. She looks slightly annoyed and glared at me.
"What?" She asked coldly, in fact it was so cold I actually shivered. It was just THAT cold!
"Tell Tyler to head on over to the usual spot!" I exclaimed anyways, she's not going to ruin my day even with her frozen attitude.
With that I ran off again and headed over to another cabin. This time the Zeus cabin, like the previous cabin I banged on the door a few times, and this time the person I just wanted to see came out. Riley stared at me with groggily eyes, he wore a pair of skinny jeans, and the camp t-shirt. He was probably sleeping when I woke him up with my loud banging if his crumpled up t-shirt got anything to say about it, oh well. A huge smile plastered my face and I grabbed his arm, then we ran to the Iris cabin. There we got his *cough*girl *cough* friend, Greta. I grabbed her by the arm as well and ran towards the creek.
When we got there Tyler was already sitting by the creek. He was leaning against a nearby tree, relaxing, with his eyes closed. He wore a black t-shirt that shows off his monster tattoo, black skinny jeans, black converse, and his shaggy emo hair was covering most of his face. I crept up to him, so that I could startle him, but then I stepped on something, and ice cold water fell on me...
Monster started to laugh as did Greta and Riley, while I sulked in the corner. "I can't believe you did that Monster!" I whined, and the others only laughed harder.
I rolled my eyes and sat down criss-cross applesauce. They followed soon after, but they were still trying to stifle their laughter, which they fail miserably. When they did finally stop making fun of me, I opened my mouth and asked. "Did you guys know that we're having a new Camp Director! Also there's supposed to be this cool surprise that he has for us!" I nearly yelled.
Greta was the first to react. She got up and dusted her jeans and orange t-shirt, since she was laying on the ground, then sat back down on a nearby log, "So what do you think the surprise is? Is it going to be a chocolate castle with loud music blaring out? That would be so cool!" She said.
We could all feel the sweatdrops forming on our temple, "Greta, that's... A bit much don't ya think?" Riley pointed out, not completely wanting to blow her bubble.
"I like to think outside the box, I'm claustrophobic." Was her usual reply, when something like this happened.
"But seriously what do you think the surprise is?" Monster asked interested, while he leaned forward.
All of us though for a moment, and nothing could come to mind. "I guess we'll just have to wait until tonight." I said, while getting up. The others did as well and we separated paths.
Percy/Genisis
I opened my eyes, as I heard Exitiuma growling and Creos trying to calm his sister down. Quickly sitting up and rubbing my eyes, I froze when I felt cheerfulness washing through me. Looking up I saw Apollo, Poseidon, and... Thalia? She still looks the same even after a millenia. She gave me a small smile, and waved at me. I in return waved at her, and then turned to my dad. I'll just stick with ignoring Apollo.
"We're here to take you to Camp Half-Blood." He replied to my unasked question.
I nodded and got up from bed. Exitiuma continued to growl but backed off when she saw no threat. Turning back to me, she walked out of the palace, and went hunting. Since Creos is the one that holds creation and light, he can't hunt for himself, so Exitiuma does all the hunting.
"Not that I don't miss Thalia, but why is she here?" I asked cautiously.
A tense silence ringed throughout the room, and the answer was clear. Thalia was here under orders of Artemis, so that I don't kill Apollo, after all being force into being a god and leaving your family and friends does that to you. How could he and Hermes do this to me? My mother was everything to me, and they ripped me apart from her! Anger filled my every being and they noticed too, because the sound of Exitiuma's howl reached within the room and resounded, then the sound of growling coming after.
They flinched and I stared at them unimpressed. I strolled to my bathroom and started to get ready, after I told them to wait for me outside. Which they did without complaints. Taking a quick shower, brushing my teeth, and changing into my comfortable clothes. I walked out with Riptide tucked in my pocket, but as I was about to leave I turned around, and stared at a certain necklace.
The necklace has a silver cross, with gold rose vines crawling up, and written in Japanese were the kanji Yuki. I picked up the necklace with a jade encrusted jar and a shinobue flute. The clothes I wore was a deep green button down shirt, black pants, dress shoes, and a open trench coat that reaches just below my knee. With the necklace around my neck, jar in my pocket with Riptide, and flute tied around my waist, I guess I look hot. Why? Because as soon as I walked out of my room Apollo cat-whistle, which I glared at him for and dad hit him on the head, and Thalia had a small blush, but shook it off as soon as she thought about the hunters.
With everything ready, I walked out of the palace with everyone trailing right behind me, except for Creos and Exitiuma. Exitiuma because she's hunting, Creos because he's waiting for his older sister. The trip from Mt. Olympus to Camp Half-Blood was a little awkward. Dad was glaring at Apollo the whole way. Thalia is still afraid of heights, and I remained in the backseat, looking out the window.
Little lights twinkled in the semi-dark night sky. It was already dawn so Apollo was doing his job, while dropping me off. It was still so peaceful here in New York, even after so many years, though technology changed and became more advanced. By the Gods! The campers better not be slacking off! At the mere thought of that my mood dramatically drop.
Shaking my head so that I don't get any further depressed, I looked back out at the view before me. New York is still a beautiful place, and I wish mom was here with me... Paul too... I leaned back into my seat, and looked down at the necklace. It's made of pure silver and gold, but there was a hint of black underneath it. The kanji for Yuki... Was made of pure black obsidian and Onyx melted together. The jar in my pocket is crafted with gentle hands to form a delicate looking jar made of stainless silver, and encrusted in jades. As for the flute, it was carved from bamboo wood, then encrusted with darker cherry wood, and if you play a song with it near fire, the fire itself, jumps to life and tells the tale of the story behind the music.
Painful and happy memories came to me, as I though back on what happened a few centuries ago. Now that I think about it, if it wasn't for Apollo and Hermes I wouldn't have met her at Shangri-La. She soon became one of my most cherished friends, but in the end she had no choice but to die as well. If only jealousy wasn't the main key in her destruction. I released a sigh, and looked back out towards the now open fields. Well I know what story to tell the campers next, along with the 'big' news.
While I was thinking of the past and at Shangri La, we had already made it at Camp Half-Blood. My stomach turned into knots at all the memories. The first day I came here, how I met Annabeth/Wise Girl, how I found out Grover was actually a Satyr. That was pretty funny and weird at the same time, now that I think about it. I'll admit, that I'm nervous, but that's all.
It was dinner time, so all of the campers were at the pavilion, to which I'm thankful for. "Come on, you need to get to the pavilion, Seaweed Brain." Thalia said, trying to ease up the tense silence.
She looked completely weak. Her skin became paler, her hand was sweating, and she was shaking. Her fears over heights, really hasn't gotten any better, it seems. For her sake I nodded, and walked with them towards the pavilion. Dionysus, must be having a party after this, since he'll no longer be taking care of future heroes. Yeah, he got punished again for going after the same off-limit nymph. He just never learns, those he?
I'm glad that your becoming your old self again. A voice whispered in my mind.
I blinked a couple of times, before rolling my eyes, Oh? Really? I didn't think so. Exitiuma, when are you and your brother coming? I replied and asked her. The only answer I got was a chuckle before she spoke again.
Miss us already? Be patient, it takes awhile for Creos to eat. I need to cut everything for him, because he's creation and light. She replied, before disappearing completely from my mind.
A sigh escaped from my lips, and I looked ahead again. We were already at the Dining Pavilion, and my shyness? I'll just go with that, was acting up again. Okay maybe I wasn't shy, more like nervous. Yeah, I was or am nervous and getting to the pavilion faster than I thought wasn't helping. Dad turned back to me and placed his large hand on my shoulder, "It'll be alright." He said, to which I only nodded.
The only good thing so far, was that Apollo had already left, and Thalia was still here. Now all I want, or rather hope, is that Grover is somewhere in the pavilion. Inhaling a deep breath I opened the door. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to me, Thalia walked in with me and after giving me a small sign of good-bye she walked over to the Hunters of Artemis table. That, however didn't start anything. They just sat there, staring at me.
I closed my eyes and released a deep sigh. Looking back up at them I spoke in a cool voice, "What are you waiting for? A magic show? Get back to getting your dinner so that we can begin with the usual." That did the trick and everyone went back to getting their food, and going outside to put their offerings to the gods.
Scanning the head table, there was no sign of Grover. Disappointment filled me and I walked outside to the camp fire. Some of the campers already gave their offerings, and some were already enjoying their food, plus s'mores. I walked towards a corner and saw that little girl from Lady Hecate's cabin, she was sitting with her older sister near the fire.
When everyone was done with their offerings I stepped out from the shadows and spoke once more, "As some of you know I'll be the new camp director, Mr. D will be going back to Olympus, while I'm here stuck with all of you. Though I have nothing against any of you, I expect you all to be powerful or strong fighters in your own categories. I will occasionally tell you stories, but most of all there is a surprise from me. Every Demi-Camp in the whole world will be coming to Camp Half-Blood. However they will only select their best camper to come. Some might only be one or two, depends on how they see fit."
I waited for them to progress this and moved on, "Why are they coming?" The older daughter of Lady Hecate asked, interested.
"Good question... They will be coming because we'll be having a championship of sorts. We'll see who is strong enough, because there's a new prophecy. I will not talk about it any further, but know that on this quest, there's a chance you might die." I replied, before leaving to go talk to Chiron.
"Wait! Wait! What do we call you?" An energetic voice asked.
I turned around and saw a boy with short dark brown hair that's on his side, some skinny jeans, and band t-shirt, and a pair of converse. He had a look of slight wonder on his face at the idea of the championship thing, I guess. Anyways I considered his question. They couldn't call me Genisis because name has power, calling me by my real name is worse, that and I still don't like it when they call me by my real name. So I took the easy way out, "Call me either Mr. G or Genisis. I don't care." I replied, walking off quickly now so no one can stop me from looking for Chiron.
