I got two more reviews! YAY! Thank you mysticzephyra for once again reviewing and answering the questions. I am glad to hear that you are enjoying playing Ni No kuni.

To the guest who reviewed: I understand that the Ni No Kuni part is a little confusing. If anyone who is reading this doesn't understand the Ni no kuni part, you can play the game. You can also watch a playthrough. I would suggest Special Attack's playthrough, which I had watched and loved.

As for my pop quiz, these are the answers:

1) that was where a familiar egg that contained a seed sprite was. The familiar joined Oliver and gave him the Quicken Growth spell.

2) The Deep Dark Wood

3) it is a reference to kings quest 3 and 6. I just remembered that game and couldn't resist putting that in there.

Anyway, this is Carter's POV. I am not doing it when Carter is recording because the demigods didn't do I like that and it would be weird. anyway, I hope you like it!

Carter's POV

Out of all the times Percy could have summoned me, it had to be when I was presenting my English assignment that counted half of my report card grade.

It definitely could have been worse. It could have been at my sister's birthday party, during a date with Zia, or while I was going to the bathroom (that would have been fun explaining), but this still was not the best time. I was up there explaining what I had learned about the wonders of photosynthesis (actually quite interesting) when I heard a voice.

Carter.

I immediately froze. My teacher, Ms. Bright, looked confused, as well as a bunch of other students, but a few students snickered or sneered. But one student, my girlfriend Zia, immediately looked concerned. She could read me like a book.

Later, I tried to saw by only looking at her. She seemed to understand.

Why did Percy call me? Should I just make an excuse and gather up every magician I can get and barge in there? Should I jump out the window and run as fast as my legs could carry me? Something told me otherwise. It was the tone Percy contacted me in. It wasn't like he was panicking, like he was in the middle of a battle. It sounded like he was doing something that was either important or dangerous (I hoped it wasn't the latter) and he needed backup. I guess I should only bring Sadie, Zia, and Walt with me. If it is more serious than I thought, than I will get everyone else.

"Carter? Are you alright?" asked Ms. Bright.

"I-I'm fine," I stuttered.

"Are you sure? Do you need to present your project another time?"

"Um, yes please. Thanks."

I sulked back to my seat. After a few minutes of some other student ranting about field mice, the girl next to me handed me a folded piece of paper. I slowly opened it so I didn't attract Ms. Bright's attention.

Are you alright Carter?

-Zia

I smiled. Ever since Zia started going to the same school as me, Sadie, and Walt, she has been learning how to be a normal American student fast, which meant passing notes and appearing to be completely uninterested in whatever is being taught at the time. I quickly scribbled a note and refolded the paper.

After school, meet me behind the maple tree. Also get Sadie and Walt.

-Carter

Zia's response came quickly.

Does it have anything to do with Percy?

-Zia

I have told only three people about Percy: Sadie, Uncle Amos, and Zia. Sadie didn't seem really fazed, but she advised me to be cautious. Amos had paled and left the room without another word and refused to discuss the topic. Zia was concerned, and she told me to keep my guard up like Sadie had.

I responded with haste.

Yes. Don't tell Sadie or Walt until we all meet up.

-Carter

The paper took a little more time to return to my hands.

How many periods until school is over?

-Zia

I smiled as I answered her question.

This is last period, which should end in about one minute.

-Carter

Zia wrote one more note.

Ok. See you then.

-Zia

P.S. Destroy this paper.

I tore the note into tiny pieces. Soon, the bell signaling the end of school rang, and everyone rushed to get their things. On the way out, I threw out the shreds of paper. I ran to my locker and got my backpack. I ran as fast as I could to the maple tree, our secret hideout. It was near the back of the school, and walls covered three sides of it. The tree served as the forth side. Hidden from watchful eyes, I reached into the Duat and brought out my khopesh. I felt a little safer with it in my hand. Soon, Zia arrived at the tree, followed by Sadie and Walt.

"What is going on?" asked Sadie, "Wait, let me guess. You got an A instead of an A plus on your stupid project and you need someone's shoulder to cry on?"

"What? No!" I said, "It is more serious than that!"

"You mean like Egyptian god serious?" asked Walt.

"I think... that it may be even more serious than that." I said.

"Wait, does this have anything to do with You-Know-Who?" asked Sadie. I hadn't told Walt about Percy, so whenever Sadie and I talked about him in the same room with Walt, that was what we called him.

"What does this have to do with Voldemort?" he asked us with a puzzled expression.

I sighed.

"I guess it is about time you knew. Once, when I was tracking down a monster, I met this kid named Percy. He was weird. He had some sort of power over water, but he wasn't a magician. He wasn't mortal either. He called me something weird. A half blood. I don't know what that is, but I think it has to do with gods. Other gods."

"I also met this weird girl," piped in Sadie, "Her name was Annabeth. There were a lot of similarities between the two, and Carter heard Percy mention Annabeth's name. There is a connection."

"Yeah, but that is not the point," I said, "Before Percy and I parted, I drew a hieroglyphic on his hand. If he said my name, wherever he was, I would hear him and know where he is. That is what happened. I heard his voice."

"Well then, let's get everyone and CHARGE!" said Sadie.

"No, we don't need an army," I said, annoyed, "He didn't seem panicked. He just needs help with something."

"Well then, what are we waiting for?" said Walt, "Where do we go?"

"Long Island," I said, "Let's hail a taxi."

"On it," said Sadie.

She ran from out hiding place and out of school property. Zia, Walt, and I ran behind her. When we got to the main highway, Sadie put two fingers to her mouth and whistled. Immediately, a taxi pulled up.

"When did you learn how to do that?" I asked incredulously.

"I am just naturally talented," she responded as she climbed into the taxi.

We drove for a few minutes, not talking the whole time. When we reached our destination, we silently paid the taxi driver (translation: I silently paid the taxi driver) and climbed out. When we turned around, we only saw a small hill with a pine tree on it. But there were some cables near the bottom of the tree for a moment. Then, upon closer inspection, I realized it was a...

"Is that a dragon?" asked Sadie.

"Looks like it," I said, "Hopefully it would want to attack."

We wouldn't have gotten that far anyway.

As we approached the tree, I felt some boundary keeping me from going any further. Everyone else couldn't pass either.

"How do we keep going if we can't move?" asked Walt.

Then we heard a voice.

"I, Percy Jackson, give you permission to enter Camp Half Blood."

The boundary vanished. Standing there were six teens, only one of them I recognized.

"Percy," I said, walking up to him, "How are you?"

"Good," he replied.

"Annie," said Sadie, walking up to a girl with blonde hair and stormy grey eyes, "What's up?"

"Don't call me Annie," she responded, but still smiled, "And nothing much. You?"

"Just training young magicians, learning magic, killing monsters, and studying Cheese Demons."

"Cheese Demons?" said a boy who looked about a year younger than Percy. He was big and muscular and he looked Chinese.

"Don't ask," said Sadie.

"Anyway, you are probably wondering why we called you here," said Percy.

"Yes, we are," I said.

"One of our campers disappeared," Percy started.

"Dejavu," muttered Annabeth.

"and we don't have a clue where he is. He was last in his workshop, but he vanished pretty much into thin air."

"Show us his workshop."

Annabeth started walking towards a forest, the rest of us following her.

"What does he do?" Sadie asked, "Art?"

"If I ever see Leo painting, I will do a double-take." said a girl who had chocolate brown, choppy hair and eyes that seemed to be more that one color. She was very pretty. I quickly reminded myself that I already had a girlfriend.

"Same," said the boy next to her. He had blonde hair and electric blue eyes.

"He actually is a mechanic," said a girl with dark skin and hair and golden eyes, "He can pretty much build anything."

"Can he build a machine to clean someone's room?" asked Sadie.

"Probably."

"A giant snowmaker?"

"I think so."

"How about a hotdog launcher."

"He actually built one once. He had a totally unfair advantage during our annual food fight."

It kept going on like this, when Sadie named some sort of wacky machine, and the girl answered that the camper either could if he tried, or he already made it. This Leo guy must be a really talented mechanic.

We soon stopped at a cliff face. Annabeth turned and faced us.

"Before we continue, I need to know. Who are you?"

"I would like to ask the same of you." said Zia.

Both sides were silent, waiting for the other. Finally, I spoke up.

"Fine. I guess it is fair. Do you know those myths of Egyptian gods? Well, they are real."

"WHAT!?" exclaimed the buff Chinese man, "FIRST THERE ARE ROMAN GODS, AND THEN GREEK GODS, AND NOW THERE ARE EGYPTIAN GODS!?"

"What do you mean, Roman and Greek gods?" asked Sadie, "Are you saying that they exist?"

"Well, yes," answered the pretty girl, "The gods have affairs with mortals and they have children called demigods. Half mortal, half god. That is what we are. I am Piper, and my mother is Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty."

That explained why she was so pretty. Still, it was a lot to take in.

"My mother is Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy," said Annabeth.

"I am Jason, and my dad is Jupiter, also known as Zues, king of the gods and Lord of the Skies," said the blonde boy.

"I am Hazel, and my dad is Pluto, also known as Hades, Lord of the Underworld," said the dark skinned girl.

"I am Frank, and my dad is Mars, also known as Ares, god of war," said the Chinese man.

"My dad is Poseidon, god of the sea," said Percy.

We just stared with our mouths open.

"I know it is a lot to take in, but it is the truth," said Annabeth.

"No, we believe you," said Sadie, "It isn't the weirdest thing we have learned. About the Egyptian gods, there is someone called a host for a god. It is when part of a god sort of connected to you. They can give you power and you can talk to them. I was the host and am now the eye of Isis, the goddess of magic and queen of the Egyptian gods. Carter here was the host and is now the eye of Horus, war god and Pharaoh of the gods, and Walt here is currently the host of Anubis, god of funerals."

"Also not the weirdest thing we have heard," said Annabeth, "Still, I had no idea that there was a whole other race of gods. It is amazing."

"And dangerous," added Percy.

"Very," I said.

"Now, you know who we are and we know who you are. Can we see this bloke's workplace?" asked Sadie.

"Sure. Follow me," said Jason.

He pushed on the cliff face, which we soon realized had a secret door. When the door was open, we saw the most amazing workplace I have ever seen.

"Welcome to Bunker Nine," said Jason, "The missing camper spends almost all of his free time here. the weird thing was, once he left us and headed for here. When it was dinner, we all came to get him and we couldn't find him."

"Do you think that he could have run off?" asked Walt.

"That isn't like him," said Annabeth, "and that is not all. We found a half-finished contraption lying around. It is also not like him to just start on something and abandon it."

Sadie closed her eyes, not making a sound. When she opened her eyes, she looked thoughtful.

That's a first.

"I sense some sort of magic. He must have been teleported somewhere with some sort of spell or something of the sort."

"He did have a strange stick," said Frank, "It had weird runes on it, and we have never seen them before."

"Do you think that they were hieroglyphics?" asked Zia.

"No," said Annabeth, "I have read a book on hieroglyphics, and they didn't look anything like them."

"What did it look like?" I asked.

"Just like an ordinary stick, except for the runes," replied Piper.

"It must be a wand," Zia concluded, "It isn't like the wands we have, but that must be what it is."

"You have a wand?" asked Percy.

"Yeah," I responded, "Why the sudden interest?"

"If we could figure out the spell Leo used, we could use your want to cast it and find him!"

"Genius!" exclaimed Annabeth, "I wish I had thought of that!"

"Well, let's get that wand!" said Sadie.

In the next chapter, we will be back to Leo. I think he will meet Esther in that chapter. please R&R! you are awesome!
