[[ Author's Note ]]

Hey everyone! I'm sorry, I know I promised that I would post the new chapter yesterday but something came up that I had to take care first. I won't make this long because I know a lot of you are anticipating the next chapter. PM me if you want to read from other demigod/god's perspective other than Percy and Annabeth, okay? Enjoy!

I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or the Heroes of Olympus series.

PERCY

We were in the middle of talking about Octavian when a void portal opened just a few feet away and Chaos came out of the portal smiling at all of us. He probably knew that we were bonding over stories of our previous lives. We stood up and greeted him with a bow. He laughed in response.

"Children, we've been through this a million times. Why are you all so formal?" He asked. I was the first one to look up and smiled back.

"We'll always be formal, Lord Chaos. You must be tired from the journey. How was your trip to Olympus? Did the gods tremble upon knowing of our existence?" I mocked while the rest of the soldiers chuckled.

"Perseus, you know better than to tease the gods," he warned but I snorted in response. "And you must all be exhausted from the training you've all been through today. I am very proud of all of you. You've become stronger and I have no doubt in each and every single one of you. In two days, you will all be deployed to Earth. I take it that you have been divided already on who goes to Camp Half-Blood and who goes to the Roman camp?" The soldiers all nodded. "Very well. You may all retire to your chambers. Theseus, Taphios, Zoe and Perseus, come with me to my study. We have to discuss an important matter."

Shortly after Lord Chaos' announcement, the soldiers cleaned up their plates and left the dining hall. The four of us that were asked to come with Lord Chaos stood up as well and followed him to his study. The moment we entered, Chaos snapped and a three dimensional map of the United States appeared before us, engulfing the lower half of our bodies. The map was focusing on the stretch of Long Island Sound, New York up until the Caldecott Tunnel in Berkeley Hills, California. Miniature humans and demigods were walking around the cities and camps. I realized that I was standing over the Half-Blood Hill. I saw Peleus sleeping soundly while guarding the fleece that was sitting idly on Thalia's tree. I saw the strawberry fields with a few of Demeter's kids tending to the harvest. I closed my eyes and inhaled as if I can really smell the fields; as if I can smell the saltiness of the sea breeze. I grazed my fingers at my cabin then by the lake where Annabeth and I had our first underwater kiss.

"Loving the view, I see?" I opened my eyes and saw Lord Chaos standing beside me, smiling sadly.

"I just… I haven't seen them for a long time. Not that they can remember me anymore. They probably have someone new to call 'hero'… or a new boyfriend." I said disappointedly.

"Them, Perseus? Or are we talking about someone in particular?" I shook my head and walked away from the sight of the camp and went near Theseus who was admiring the cities.

"Why did you show us this, Lord Chaos?" Theseus asked.

"Well, of course we need to discuss your plans and here," he points at an island somewhere near Florida and it showed thousands of monsters gathering near a rock. Some were even fighting over something.

"Monsters…" Zoe said, shocked as she covered her mouth.

"Thousands of monsters…" Theseus said sadly.

"Why are they all gathered near a huge rock or something?" Taphios asked. Then it hit me. I know how they are going to attack the camps.

"That's not just a rock… That's a passage way to the Labyrinth. That's what they're going to use, isn't it? To get to the camps?" I asked, looking at Lord Chaos expectantly. He nodded grimly to affirm what I just said.

"Wait, the Labyrinth as in the Labyrinth? Daedalus' Labyrinth? That Labyrinth?" Taphios asked and as if on cue, Theseus and I sighed heavily and glared at him before we nodded.

"But I don't understand, the camps will probably anticipate that monsters will use that thing to get into the camps." Theseus said. I would've agreed but Lord Chaos was shaking his head.

"Olympus reported that monsters have been attacking in groups outside of the camps. The demigods will anticipate that the attack will not be coming from the Labyrinth." Lord Chaos said.

"We need to get to Earth as soon as possible and warn them about this. Not only will they weaken the borders, they are also going to attack everyone from within. It's massacre." I said numbly, horrified by the idea of all my friends being killed one by one.

[[ Review Response Section ]]

OrangeOreo,
Lol, I know how you feel. On the reading of thoughts part, I wanted to but then again they could've done the same during The Lightning Thief to prove Percy's innocence from the beginning but they didn't because they were blinded by hatred (and maybe superiority over 'humans', a bit?) so yeah, again since some of them were blinded by Khione, they can't see the truth clearly. From my understanding of some gods, they become blinded from the truth because don't want humans telling them what to do or overpower them so I'm thinking that some of the gods feel like they were played from the beginning by Percy (which is not really true) hence, the reaction hehehe.

WiseGirlGeek,
Again, I'm sorry but I'm going to post another chapter in a few hours or so? I'm just typing it because I wrote it on my notebook out of boredom earlier while waiting for my class hahaha!
