Annabeth was shocked, to say the least. Even Chiron didn't seem to recognise these demigods. They walked and acted like they belonged here. But this was Olympus! No demigod was brought up here! She inspected these three mysteries.

They would have to wait, though. The gods had started talking. The weird thing was, they looked to the three mystery people for their input!

Percy, Thalia and Nico knew why they were asked for their input. The three had talents when it came to planning attacks that worked the best when in use with the talents of the other two. Thalia could come up with a brilliant plan with time. Nico could find any faults that could occur. Percy was amazing at spontaneous plans and at finding the damage any decision could make. Thus, they were needed when attacks were planned. They also each had their strengths in fighting. Thalia rocked archery and was better than most of Artemis' Hunters; Nico was better at using a spear than the others; and Percy was the best swordsman in over three centuries.

The gods started talking about the next solstice and it appeared that their part was over. Finally, the tedious meeting was over. Their fathers looked at each other and Zeus said, "Fine, you may go and change. But be sure to return here as soon as you are ready. You must introduce yourselves to our guests."

The cousins frowned. They touched fingertips and closed their eyes. The gods watched them, as if waiting for a verdict, whereas the Campers watched them with interest.
"Actually," the tall boy spoke, "Zeus, we'd prefer to remain unknown to them. Then, later, we can meet them properly." The three demigods grinned in a slightly evil manner that reminded Annabeth of the Cabin 11 kids, but they very evidently weren't children of the Messenger God. The boy then touched his fingers to Lord Zeus'.

Percy and his brother and sister frowned and touched fingertips. This connection let them communicate silently.

Let's not tell them. I overheard Dad saying we're going to be at Camp in two summers. We can dramatically introduce ourselves then.
Oh, that'll be so fun! Nico replied.
Perce, I'm guessing you already have something in mind?
Of course. Percy mentally replied, before explaining his idea quickly.

"Actually," he addressed his uncle, "Zeus, we'd prefer to remain unknown to them. Then, later, we can meet them properly." He lifted his fingers to the god, knowing he'd know what Percy wanted. The two touched fingers, and Zeus could read his mind.

We know that we're going the Camp in two summers and we want to make a dramatic claiming. We've agreed I'd be claimed, then Thalia and Nico last. We'd excel at our choice weapon, and lag slightly behind on other weapons. We'll rock the other activities. We're all gonna look after each other. Since Zoe, Artemis, Apollo and Dionysus all know us, they'll keep an eye on us. Promise. Percy told him his plan.

Zeus shook his head, leaning back, but grinning madly. "Sure." The three Royals pumped their fists, before racing out. Zeus shared Percy's plan mentally to all the gods. They chuckled at Percy's plan.

"Mother?" Annabeth addressed Athena.
"Yes, daughter?" Athena said, laughter still in her eyes. Even Athena, who hated Poseidon, loved his child. There was nobody who hated Percy. It was almost impossible to do.
"Who were those demigods?"
"Oh, them? They're family." Athena said, cryptically.
Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Well, of course they are. But, who are they?"
"You'll meet them sooner or later." Athena explained, with an expression that finished the conversation with her daughter.
