DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF RICK RIORDAN'S CHARACTERS.

I woke to the sound of a man yelling.

"All soliders headed back to Greece please be loaded in fifteen minutes. our new fleet of soliders will be in soon!"

What? New soliders? It had only been a day...right? Anyway, I only slept for...3 hours I would say.

"I can't wait for the invention of pillows." I mumbeled as I left my dark green tent.

"How long have you been here?" a man grumbeled uncaringly at me. He stared onto some sort of list on some old time paper.

"Me?" I asked.

"Yes." he said impaitently as he looked up at me with his piercing brown eyes.

"I've been here since the begining of the war but..." I started

"Then you should be on that boat!" he said.

"But, why..."

"Don't ask questions you stupid archer just go!" he cried.

"What? Why?!" I demended. He didn't answer. he just pushed me onto the boat. I got onto the old boat. Wood creaking beneath my every step, it was freaky. I kept walking trying to out as little weight as possible on the boat. there were about fifteen other guys on the boat with me. I had to find a place where nobody was watching... The ship started to set sail. It was now or never. Bow in hand, I jumped off the boat and into the ocean. My actions were followed with many screams.

"What are you doing?!"

"What is wrong with you?!"

"Crazy archer!"

I hit the ocean with a splash. The water was so warm I wanted to take a bath in it. I swam silently and swiftly. I could still temoprarily pass for a solider, but not for too long. I swam up to shore with my bow still in hand, and I started to walk to Troy.

The walk was long and kind of boring. There was nothing too see in ancient Greece; Atleast not on the road to Troy. It was about an hour long walk from where the tents were. I stopped on the side of the road to take my armor off. I stashed it behind a bush somewhere out of sight, and headed back tot he road. I stopped again, when I heard the sound of two horses, and got off the road so they didn't turn me into twenty-first century road kill. They stopped when they saw me. THere were two men. both had the same features; Dark brown hair, icy blue eyes, they even had the same nose. I figure they're brothers.

"Are you a Trojan?" asked the taller one. (Well, he looked taller, but i really couldn't tell because he was on a horse.)

"That depends." I said "Who are you?"

"I am Hector, Prince of Troy, and this is my brother Paris."

"In that case, I am, for sure, a Trojan" I lied

"Are you headed back to Troy?" asked Paris

"I sure am." I told him with fake perkiness.

"Would you like us to give you a ride?" asked Hector.

"Sure, why not?" I said with fake gratitude. He lifted me onto Paris' horse. Let me tell you something they won't tell you in history books: This guy really needed a bath. I'm not sure which smells worse, Him, or the horse.

"So, Prince Paris" I said casually as I felt the curse take over. "you're the one who started the war because you couldn't keep your grimey paws off another mans wife?" We sarted to ride as tensed up a bit.

"Helen loves me." He yelled ove the sound of the horses. 'She is my prize. I won her fair-and-square."

"Won her?" I asked but my voice was drowned out by the sound of the horses. We rode the rest of the way in silence.

When we got into Troy, I swear it was the biggest city I had ever been in. Not only was it almost as big as New York City, It was beautiful. Anyay we rode into the center of the city or something and this reall old guy with a scraggly white beard started talking.

"Citizens of Troy." he started. I leaned over to Hector.

"Who's the geezer?" I asked him.

"My father." he whispered casually. Oops.

"Although the war has been going on for three years..." the old man continued.

Wait, Three years?!.

That was all I needed I raced out of the center of the city, then rushed back to Hector and Paris.

"Thank you for the ride." I said then I rushed back out of the Town Center.

What? It's rude not to say "thank you".

I ran through the giant city looking for somrthing reflective, There it was a little fountain next to a fat, stinky, fish vendor.

"Move!" I ordered him, and then I pushed him out of my way. I leaned over to look at my reflection in the fountain, it was true I was...older, by three years I am... twenty. I didn't look diffrent just somehow, older.

"What in the cosmos is going on?" I thought aloud. Wait, when exactly did I start saying the word "cosmos"?

"You were about to buy a fish." the Fish Vendor repiled to my question.

"Nice try, fatty." I told him. Then I turned around to focus on my problem. I know someone who might have an answer. I looked at the fountain, it was freshwater. I looked behind me...what type of water was that fish vendor soaking his fish in?

"Is your fish fresh?" I asked him.

"Well, of course" he replied.

"So..they're in salt water right now?" I asked

"Yes" he answered impaitently.

"That's all I need to know." I said. I yanked the necklace that Chiron gave me off and threw it into the water.

"Hey!" cried the Fish Vendor. nothing happened yet, Chiron said "Throw it in the ocean." but this was saltwater so it should work too, right?

The water started bubbiling.

"What the...?" started the Fish Vendor. The water started glowing various colors, red, blue, green, orange... Just then, Annabeth materialized right next to me.

"Hey!" I said happily.

"Wow.." said Annabeth completly ignoring me.

"Is this Troy?" she asked me.

"Yup." I answered. "I need help."

"With what?" she answered redirecting her attention to me.

"Getting answers." I said

"About wha...?" she started

"Bad Children, Naughty Children. Playing with time is a bad deed in the eyes of the Titan Lord!"

Said scratchy voice from no where. Annabeth pulled out her knife. I loaded my bow. Random screams came from everywhere..

"You shall die in the name of Kronos!"

Said another voice. Then we saw them. Hundreds of them. Harpies, winged beasts. I shot at one killing it, I wacthed it fall to ground. I loaded my bow agian but it was to much, there were too many. We were surrouded.

"Say hello to Hades for me!"

I saw three piles of dust where Annabeth was standing, she was doing ok, but we are going to die. I shot three more down. I glanced back at Annabeth, she had scratches all across her face. we had taken down abot 10 each but it wasn't enough. we were overloaded. this is the end...

"By the power of the dawn!" I heard someone scream in a godly voice. Then, I saw a huge flash of light.

When I gathered my wit, I looked to see Eos standing over Annabeth.

"Daughter of Athena, you must awaken." she was saying.

"What?" I asked suddenly alarmed "What's wrong?"

"I believe the light was to much for her." said Eos.

"May the healing powers of the mighty sun god bless you." I said.

"What hapened?" Annabeth asked as she was suddenly awakened.

"There's no time to ask questions." said Eos while helping Annabeth up "We must hide, now"

A/N I was going to make this chapter longer but i have to unexpectidly leave my house so I'm going to spilt it up into 2 diffrent chapters. So if this chapter wasn't what you thought it would be read the next one for the other chapter.
