A/N: I would like to take the time now to congratulate Crazedbookfan14 for guessing the story I got one of the quotes from. Yay! You now have the knowledge that I think you're really cool.

Mythical Being: I'm really sorry but this chapter is in Annabeth's POV, you had good reasons but I already had this chapter written and everything so I couldn't really change it.

This chapter is for DaughterOfKronosPlzDon'tKillMe, Crazedbookfan14, and biancadiangelo0703.

Thanks to everyone who favorite/reviewed/subscribed to this story.

Annabeth POV

I closed Daedalus' laptop and surveyed the scene in front of me. "New Olympus," as it is now called provides beautiful scenery to gaze at, but I'm not interested. I had designed the place; I knew it like the back of my hand, and trust me when I say this, it gets boring after a year.

It had only taken six months for New Olympus to be created. We already had the location, the 600th floor of the Empire State Building, and with the Titan's power, we could create everything in a second. All that we needed was the plans. The plans that I made, as the official architect of New Olympus.

For those six months it was great. I completely buried myself into my work. I didn't even need to think about all of the backstabbing that I had done to get to this position; I could just work. But when I had finished the plans there was nothing left to do, so I just worked on Daedalus' laptop.

You see, it's not like I had any close demigod friends who were in the Titan's Army. The only person I was really close to was Luke, and now that Kronos still possessed him (they still haven't found a way to safely separate the two), it was hard having a normal conversation.

I sighed, and moved all of pushed all of my notes onto the floor. I was getting sick of working so much, so I decided to go on a walk. So that's what I did, examining things that I already knew were there, greeting minor gods, stopping to talk to fellow demigods. They were traitors. Traitors like me… "No don't think about that Annabeth," I told myself, "It's everyone elses fault for choosing the wrong side."

I noticed a demigod scurrying toward me. What could he want? Finally he reached me and began to catch his breath.

"Lord Kronos requests your presence in the throne room ma'am," he manages to gasp out. I nod to him and begin to walk toward the throne room, simultaneously racking my brain to figure out if I did anything wrong. Did I make the statue of him too small? Because I could fix it if he wanted me too…

The walk to the throne room is short, so it is a matter of minutes before I reach it. Kronos is sitting on the grandest throne in front of me, looking very annoyed. Don't smite me, don't smite me, don't smite me.

I bow before Kronos, "Yes my lord, you needed me?" Don't smite me, don't smite me, don't smite me.

"It seems we have a disturbance. One of our warehouses has been destroyed in an earthquake." Good, he wasn't smiting me. I was safe. For now. "I have asked around, none of the Titans have admitted to causing the earthquake. I need you to find out how it happened."

"Yes sir," I say, "Have you had anyone check up on Poseidon? Maybe he caused it." Poseidon was imprisoned in Tartarus but he still might have been able to do it.

Kronos accepts this. "I will Iris message them now." Kronos proceeded to make a rainbow and ordered it to contact Tartarus. The image shimmers, and then we are face to face with a demigod. He must be young, because he jumps up, surprised and salutes Kronos.

"Hello sir- your Excellency- your Majesty- your Highness- Mr. President-" he probably would have kept going all day if Kronos hadn't interrupted him.

"I need you to take me to Poseidon." The young demigod nods.

"Of course sir."

He begins walking to the various cells in Tartarus. We could see the cells pass by. It was a new feature Iris created to add to Iris Messaging. It was like looking in the point of view of someone who was there, but you really weren't there. It was weird.

We stopped at cell #476 and peered inside. Poseidon was there, in an orange prison jumpsuit. His dark hair was long and wild, and he looked weak and thin. When he saw us in the message, he sat up and grinned.

"You guys want to know who caused the earthquake, don't you," he began to chuckle, "Well I'm not telling you, but I want you guys to know that pretty soon you guys will be defeated. I bet when you guys find out who he is you will shit your pants," Poseidon's chuckles began to turn to laughter, and pretty soon he was cracking up, except no one else was laughing with him. He stops laughing, only to begin again after a few seconds.

The room is silent except for the laughter. Kronos' face is stony when he cuts off the connection. He gets up abruptly and when he leaves, I hear the words "insolent boy" and "pathetic excuse for a son." I leave the room in the least intrusive way possible. I didn't want Kronos to remember that it was I who had suggested contacting Poseidon. Seeing as the mood it had put him in, I was going to be in huge trouble. Personally, I believe it wasn't fair. But that's the way it goes here.

Still, Poseidon's words had unhinged me. What was he talking about? He couldn't have possibly meant what he had said, right? He was crazy from his time in Tartarus, and now he was speaking nonsense. But still, when I saw him in Tartarus, he looked too weak to cause earthquakes that destroyed entire buildings. But was it all an act?

The gears in my mind were still turning when I went to bed that night. If it wasn't Poseidon and none of the Titans did it, who had that kind of power? I suddenly sat up. Demigod children of Poseidon had that kind of power. But there weren't any alive demigod kids of Poseidon except for… "No, he's dead," I told myself. But it didn't work. I began to think of the day after I had killed him, how there wasn't a body. I had always assumed that someone had taken it, but no. Everything made sense. Percy was alive. And he was most definitely pissed.

A/N: I just wanted to tell you guys that I had the next chapter planned out, and if it goes the way I'm envisioning this, then you guys might hate me for it. I'm also betaing a story called χάος chaos by Kiba Kibbles (which is a great story, check it out) so I'll try to post the next chapter soon. On a different note, what did you guys think?
