Summary: They betrayed me for another Son of Poseidon, but I don't care, not as much as I used to anyways. There are others now, and I know with a fact that they won't betray me, unless I am the one that betrays them first. How do I know? Simple, they swore on the river Styx. My name is Perseus Jackson, but I prefer to be called Persona.

WARNING: MAJOR AU! Strong Percy, and OCs. Bashing of characters, and so on.

Percy/Persona

The grounds of Camp Half-Blood was only slightly torn apart. Meteorites that had fallen from the sky had now disappeared, some of the campers were bruised and hurt. Everything had came out better than intended. The Apollo campers headed towards the medical wing, where they were currently treating those that came out worse than the others, which was only a hand full.

I walked back towards the cabin, and everyone was there. Yes, even Melania, who has a very bad sense of direction managed to come back. Alice looked slightly tired from making the barrier, which was understandable, since during the last attack, her barrier only went as far as the shore, not the ocean areas. She was only slightly pale, and shaking. Melania didn't look any better. She was as pale as a sheet, her eyes were darker than before, and she looks like she had just lost twenty pounds that she desperately needed. Only Abraxas and Alastor looked like they were in healthy conditions.

I, myself, didn't know how I looked. The only thing I can say is that I feel a lot better, after I got that nightmare out of my chest. It's not like I can tell Alice and the others what I dreamed about. Alice would try to see what would happen next, Melania would start burying herself in her library to find a way to leave her charges out of this, Abraxas would get stony and start getting cautious, and Alastor would still joke around, but he will be slightly more edgy and tense.

Melania must have been really tired, because after she changed out of her now ruined Celtic dress, into a pair of white silk pants and matching shirt she headed to sleep, and didn't ask me about Annabeth's name. Alice was actually glad about that since she wouldn't have to lock her in again, but the door that leads to Melania's room is still destroyed. Luckily Melania is a very smart person, so whenever someone trespasses into her room *Cough* Alastor *Cough* to play a prank on her, a system wakes her up and before you knew it, hot breathing fire is heading towards you.

There was only Alice, Alastor, Abraxas, and me left in the living room. We all sat down at the couch, thinking about the small battle that had just taken place. The campers may had done well, however this was just Oceanus, what will they do once Kronos came? What if it was Gaea? Why did Chaos want us here to begin with? He could had just sent in the Alpha Squad. Sure they could get cocky, but they were also very strong, strong enough to take down Kronos. Then again the Titans allied themselves with Gaea.

We were all tired, especially Melania. If I think about it, or if anyone for that matter, they would realize how old she truly is. I remember a time, when we had first met. Alice wasn't blind back then, Abraxas wasn't as mad as before, and Alastor was slightly more responsible back then as well, it was also during the time I still resented the Gods and Camp Half-Blood. Melania had told us how much she loves her family when they were still alive, how she wanted to see them again but knew she couldn't. She had looked so old then, her eyes were far away and clouded. It was like ages had passed in that single hour she had told us.

The sound of knocking brought me back to reality. Alice released a tired sigh and headed towards the door. Her bandages weren't on, so it revealed her dull hazel eyes instead of her once brilliant hazel ones. It took her a couple of minutes to open the door, and when she finally did Chiron came in. They exchanged a few words, and Alice didn't look happy, until she finally gave in and nodded. Once Chiron left, Alice slammed the door and stormed to her room.

"Well, it's already late and we're all tired. Let's just go and rest after our showers." Abraxas said, before getting up and heading towards his room. Alastor followed suite, and as did I.

After my shower, I changed into a pair of pajama pants and headed off to bed. It was late, everyone was mentally tired and Melania would probably get at my throat tomorrow about Annabeth's name. Why she just doesn't ask Annabeth herself, I'll never know.

The scenery was different this time. There was no bodies of the dead, blood was no where in sight, and complete peace rang throughout the air. Everything was completely peaceful, so peaceful that I didn't know what to do. After all, being the leader of the Paradox Squad doesn't help. We're always on missions, never having time to relax and do as we pleased.

Rosemary filled the air, it wasn't too strong but it wasn't too weak either. It was actually completely balanced out. I looked around the small garden and sure enough there was a mixture of flowers here and there. Different colored roses on the left, petunias on the right bundle, lilies that was stationed near by, there was a small little bridge to cross from one side to the other, and under the bride was a small pond that stretched from the right wall to the left. In the pond were lily pads and bright pink lotuses.

At the bottom section before it crosses the bridge was were the flowers were, and across the bridge was a garden full of herbs. Rosemary, basil, mint, lavender, and those were the only ones that I could actually name. All the rest were something that either weren't completely normal human things or are far to... Um complex to figure out. The only thing I could tell you was that there was a mixture of both normal and poisonous things that growed in this garden.

"What are you doing here?" I turned to the soft voice.

The voice had came from across the bridge, I walked across it without any worries. "Well? Aren't you going to answer?" She spoke again, this time I could pin point it to a certain direction. Except it was coming from the far back wall, where the herbs stop growing.

I raised a brow at this but continued to walk on. As I reached the wall, it started to change, and before I knew it the wall was covered with ivy and there were also traces of rose vines as well, and that includes the thorns. The sturdy wall now before me opened, like a labyrinth or maze had just formed.

"It's rude to not answer someones question." Her voice was more clearer now. It had a tint of an accent, however I couldn't quite place it.

I followed her voice down a certain path, but that only laid to more corridors. "... Do you want me to give you my name first?" She asked again. This time it came from the right corridor, to which I followed.

"Yes, please." I replied to her.

"Yuki Hanashiro." Once I walked and crossed the right corridor, it only revealed more pathways.

"My friends call me Persona." I told her, "That's a lie." She spoke back.

I walked towards the right corridor on the left side. As I continued walking it only laid to a dead end. "You're not really good at this are you?" She asked out of nowhere, except this time her voice was really close by. So close that I thought she was behind me.

I turned around but no one was there. The only thing in sight were the walls and empty space. Now that I took a closer look, the walls were getting heavier and heavier with vines, the once clear bright blue sky was getting darker, and the floor was littered with a white almost transparent type of flower. It took me a while to notice they were actually white lotuses.

"Where are you?" I asked.

"Right here." My eyes widened, and I turned around.

There behind me was a young Asian girl of around ten or so. She didn't look impressed that it had taken me so long to notice her. Speaking of which she has ebony black hair that's tied in a tight braid that falls to her waist with side bangs that covers her left eye, dark brown almost black eyes, or eye since I could only see her right one, clashed against my one sea green ones. Her skin was extremely pale, as if she hasn't seen the sun in a few hundred years or so. She wore a silver shirt that crosses her chest with a white sash in the middle of her torso that falls to her knee, and black silk pants underneath that touches the ground.

"Will you stop staring at my top kimono." She asked, before taking a pair of rectangular wire rim glasses out of nowhere and placing them on.

"Sorry... Who are you and where am I?" She rolled her eye at my question.

"I told you, I'm Yuki Hanashiro. As to where this is, well everyone has different names for it. Some call it Shangri La, others the Golden City. Names comes and go, no one knows for sure. However for me this is Shangri La. Now may I please have your name?" She explained.

"Perseus Jackson, but call me Percy." Then it clicked. She has the accent of a Japanese.

I had only met one Japanese a few years back, and that was Ethan Nakamura. I don't think he had a accent back then, but she certainly does. It's not those heavy accents, no in fact I'm only saying she has an accent because she sounds a bit more... Formal, mannered, or matured. Whatever you want to call it.

A thoughtful look crossed her face, and she nodded to me. Without another word she signaled me to follow her out the maze, and we walked out the garden. It wasn't until we got to a location where a single peach orchard stood, that I remembered something. "How did you sneak behind me?" I asked seriously.

She turned to me and gave me a confused look, "Sneak? Is that what humans says these days? If you are wondering how I got behind you it's simple if you think about it. Did you not notice how the time was flowing? Then again Shangri La is the land where time has forgotten... I was in front of you the whole time." She answered calmly.

I could feel my eyebrows twitching. If she was in front of me the whole time, then how could I had not seen her? Before I could voice my thoughts, she waved at me and a small smile graced her lip. "Next time, please do not accidentally stumble into Shangri La, or else my mother would not be pleased. Also good morning to where you are coming from." Were her last words, before everything faded.

Daughter of Oceanus: Sorry, but I don't really know how he acts so...

electraAT: Oh I'm glad that I had hid him well.
