Percy looked at his 'audience', they were all listening with rapt attention. He was surrounded by his Greek family, across from him he saw his new Roman friends, and then nearby were the gods.

"Right, so I passed out after that," Percy started.

"Understandable, you probably have a concussion from hitting your head and your body is no longer running on adrenaline," Apollo said.

Percy nodded to the Sun god, "Exactly, but in one of the small bouts that I managed to stay awake a girl with curly blond hair decided to interrogate me."

"I was not interrogating you!" Annabeth said loudly.

Percy ignored her, "She asked me, 'What's been stolen?' 'What's the summer solstice deadline?' etc. etc. But of course I didn't know so she just fed me more nectar to shut me up."

Everyone in the Throne Room burst out laughing at that.

"Okay, when I officially came around Grover was the one waiting for me, poor Goat boy looked like he hadn't slept in a week," Percy received a glared from this. "Grover then took me to see Chiron and Mr. D," All the Greek campers looked up at Dionysus who was sleeping on his throne. "It took a lot of convincing, but they finally convinced me that the Greek gods were real."

"No, really?" Nico said sarcastically.

"The thing is, during Chiron's introduction I wasn't shown the Orientation film—" Percy continued.

"That's why you were so stupid at first!" Annabeth said.

"No, I think Prissy is always like that Princess," Clarisse replied as Percy pouted.

"Anyways, let's get back to the story and not insulting my intelligence, I wasn't shown the Orientation film and was only told that the Greek gods existed, not that my dad was a god. Maybe I should have connected the dots, but Chiron should have known by then that I was slow, so…"

Most of the Greeks just smirked and said, "Probably."

"Right, so Chiron gave me a tour around camp, now this is for the Roman's benefits. It never rains at Camp Half-Blood," He shared knowing glances with the older campers. "Bad weather just passes by us, so that we have no excuse not to train. There's an archery rain, a place for sparring, the woods where we play Capture the Flag, the lake, and then there are the cabins."

"Cabins?" Hazel asked.

"Each cabin is a representation of a person's godly parent. When I started there were twelve, one for each Olympian god," Percy said.

"But, now there are-" Leo started to say but was cut off by Annabeth.

"Yes, there are many more than that now, but that were one of the good after effects of the Titan War on our side," the Greeks gave Percy a smile that he couldn't help but return.

"Anyways each one was designed with that god in mind," Percy turned to his friends. "Would you guys like to explain your cabins?"

Will started, "The Apollo cabin is solid and glows bright in the sun."

Katie went next, "The Demeter cabin has vines and plans growing around it with a greenhouse roof."

Leo said, "Ours has smokestacks and looks like a small factory."

"Anyways they're all pretty awesome, but mine is obviously the best," He smirked at his father while the rest of the gods rolled their eyes, many of the half-bloods had to concede that Percy's cabin was pretty awesome. "The cabin itself is right on the water so that if you want you can walk right into the water, all the stones in the cabin come from the sea floor, mean I'm home sick," He gave everyone a sad smile. "I think perhaps the cabin or something was calling to me because I would have gone it if Chiron hadn't stopped me. Instead I went to Cabin 11, Hermes cabin."

The Hermes cabin let a whoop while the Romans and new Greeks looked confused, "But why would they put you there."

"Because Hermes is the patron to traveler all unclaimed children and children of minor gods and goddesses were put in Cabin 11," Percy smiled at Hermes. "When I was introduced to the cabin apparently I was being thick," glancing at Annabeth.

"Well you were!"

"How was I supposed to know what Regular or Undetermined meant?" Percy replied.

"Uh, common sense maybe, then you go on to ask how long it takes to get claimed?" She looked at Percy as if he was stupid.

"Again how was I supposed to know that?" Annabeth just rolled her eyes and turned away. While everyone else looked amused.

"Anyways, Annabeth pulled me out of the cabin and was rather brisk with me when she told me I was a half-blood. She bluntly told me that I had dyslexia and ADHD, so that means I'm a half-blood."

"Right, Clarisse do you want to tell this part?" He gave her a Cheshire smile.

She glared at him and turned away, but not before he saw a faint blush on her cheeks, "No."

He smirked, "Well apparently it is tradition at Camp Half-Blood for the Ares Cabin to give the new half-blood a swirly, I allowed-"

Clarisse glared at him, "Allowed? Those twelve year old, scrawny arms were barely putting up any resistance against me."

He pouted as everyone snickered, "Fine, as I was dragged into the girls bathroom I was of course stubborn, I was not going to be humiliated that way, when I felt a tug in my gut and the next thing I knew the bathroom was flooded and everyone but me was soaked."

Everyone in the Throne Room besides those involved and their parents were laughing, "And of course still no one figured out who my dad was."

"Seriously?" Reyna asked.

"Seriously," Percy replied. "So the next day we had activities, I did mine with the Hermes cabin. We found that I was definitely not a child of Apollo since I was no good at archery," Everyone who had been there flinched. "I could not work metal like the Hephaestus kids, the only thing that I was really good at until sword class was canoeing, not really spectacular for someone who had killed a Minotaur with its own horn."

"Finally sword lessons came up and I did okay but the only problem was that I couldn't find a balanced sword," That made everyone but Poseidon's eyes scrunch together.

"Why is that?" Hephaestus asked. "You must have a balanced sword now with the way you fight."

"I can only fight with weapons that come from the sea," Percy nodded to his dad who nodded back.

"So sword lessons I did okay up until I poured water on my header," This was met with looks of realization from most in the room and confusion from others, which Percy noticed and gave them smiles. "Once I poured water on my head the sword I was using no longer felt too heavy and I no longer felt tired, but energized and was then able to hold my own against our instructor."

"So water gives you a boost?" Jason asked.

"You could say that, anyways a few days passed and it was finally time for Capture the Flag," Percy grinned as the Greeks cheered. "To you Romans, Capture the Flag is like your War Games to us," They nodded. "Anyways, Annabeth put me by the creek for border patrol."

"I still think it was a good plan," Annabeth crossed her arms and didn't notice most of the Greeks roll their eyes at her.

"It might have been a good plan, but I had apologize about 50 times and yet your still decided to hold a grudge, all I wanted to do was fit in, not get pulverized," Percy replied.

They each rolled their eyes before Percy continued, "Anyways, Ares cabin had it out for me since the bathroom incident so putting me by the border, in a remote location would keep the cabin that Annabeth perceived to be the most of the threat away from the game and towards me, an unexperienced camper. Well it was five against one and they sliced me a few time before I fell in the river," Looks of realization appeared on everyone's faces now. "So I felt like I was on top of the world and promptly beat those five Ares campers."

"That was when the game was proclaimed done, my team had won, and Annabeth appeared underneath her invisibility hat. She had watched the whole thing," Percy said.

"And you didn't help?!" Hazel exclaimed.

"He was doing fine on his own," Annabeth said stiffly, leaving Percy confused. What did she have against Hazel?

"Anyways, I wasn't totally mad, just annoyed when suddenly we heard a growl from within the forest," Everyone tensed. "Someone had summoned a Hellhound into the camp and set its eyes on me. I got a few cuts," Everyone there gave me incredulous looks. "Okay more than a few cuts, but then Annabeth had the smart idea to go into the river," Poseidon nodded at this. "All my cuts healed and that was when I was claimed."

"Claimed?" A Roman asked.

"At the Greek camp when your godly parent claims you their symbol will appear above your head. Before the Titan war it used to be random, but now every camper has to be claimed by the age of 13 within a week of stepping across the camp borders," Katie Gardner said. "Did the gods not keep their word at the Roman camp?"

Before a Roman could reply Percy replied for them, "At the Roman camp it's tradition for their godly parent to claim them when they turn 16."

All the Greeks nodded, they supposed that was fair, if it was tradition.

"Right, so now everyone knew that I was the son of Poseidon, which wasn't a totally good thing because of the Pact," Percy said.

"Uh, what Pact?" A Roman asked.

The Greeks looked at the gods incredulously before Annabeth replied, "After WWII the Big Three swore on the River Styx never to sire half-blood children again, one of the reasons was because their children were too powerful, WWII is a fine example of that, another was because of the Great Prophecy."

The same Roman asked, "Great Prophecy?"

Before Annabeth could answer, Percy put a hand over her mouth and replied, "Spoilers, I'm sure I'll mention it sooner or later."

Annabeth glared at her boyfriend before he started talking again, "Anyways I loved my cabin, the only thing is that I had grown accustom to the ruckus of cabin 11 and now people avoided me because of the Hellhound attack and because I wasn't really supposed to be born."

"But a few days later I woke up early in the morning to Grover knocking on my door, he said that Mr. D and Chiron wanted to see me. It was then that I was offered a quest," Percy said.

"So the whole coming to camp and leaving within a week isn't totally new to you then, eh Percy?" Frank asked.

"No at completely unknown concept, no," He smiled at his Roman friend. "The quest was to retrieve Zeus' Master Lightning bolt."

"That's what you meant when you said it didn't look like that! You'd actually seen it!" Hazel said.

"Subconsciously I remembered," smiling at the girl. "Someone had stolen the lightning bolt and Zeus blamed my father, but since other gods can't usurp another gods symbol of power a god would need say a half-blood to do it. So when Dad claimed me, Zeus immediately thought I was the one to bring the bolt to my father."

He looked at the Romans, "Now for a quest you have to consult the oracle, back then we weren't so lucky to have Rachel. Instead we had a mummy because the oracle refused to change bodies," All the Romans looked sick at the thought. "She rarely moves though unless she thinks a person really needs a prophecy," Percy and Thalia shared looks.

"Anyways my prophecy was, You shall go west and face the god who has turned/You shall find what is stolen and see it safely returned/You shall be betrayed by one who calls you friend/And you shall fail to save what matters most in the end. So I ended up not telling Chiron the whole prophecy, just that I'd recover the Master Bolt."

"Why not?" Nico asked.

"I was nervous, at the time I didn't have very many friends and part of the prophecy said I'd be betrayed by one of them and then the final line said I would fail to save what mattered most? It didn't sound totally convincing," Percy told his cousin.

"Oh," Nico replied.

"Yeah, but Chiron told me that prophecies often had double meanings and this one ended up being one of those. Then Chiron figured that perhaps the god in the prophecy was Hades because the Underworld is in the west," Percy gave his uncle an apologetic smile. "Plus it didn't help that my first monster was a Fury."

"I invited Grover to go along and was thinking of who to invite when Annabeth takes off her invisibility cap and basically demanded that she be part of the quest," Percy starts.

"It's a good thing too, otherwise you'd have been dead," Annabeth said.

Percy coughed, "Water Land," Causing her to blush, but Grover and Percy to laugh.

"Fine, the three of us made a good team," Annabeth said.
