Alright, So. Hades Favorite Daughter. The suggestion you gave me. That's what I was actually planning on doing. I mean literally, that exact thing. So, great minds think alike! So, rewritten chapter and a tad bit longer. Enjoy. Most of it might be the same though.

Chapter 12-

Alex POV-

"And so, this is how you hold a sword." Annabeth showed us. She was teaching me and Abilene. I raised my hand. "Can I ask Nico something real quick?" I asked. Annabeth gave me a look but shrugged. I ran over to Nico, who was watching the lesson, grinning slightly. "Hey, wassup?" I breathed and then told him about the dream I had when Abilene and I was stranded in the mountains of Tennessee. He blinked and then laughed quietly.

"What?" I demanded. He just shook his hand and placed his hand on my shoulder. "Alex, Kronos can't rise again. I think that maybe because you remember it's just getting to you. He can't, you defeated him." "Percy defeated him not Alex." I muttered and then said more loudly. "So, these dreams will haunt me the rest of my life?" Nico gave me a sad look and nodded. I sighed.

"Alex? You coming?" Annabeth said. I turned back to face her and nodded. "Thanks Nico." and I ran back over. I don't know why I thought of that, but it seemed appropriate to tell him. But he was, in fact, right. Luke was dead, Kronos defeated and Percy Jackson dead, none of them ever coming back.

On Olympus-

Zeus, and the rest of the Olympian council, were sitting discussing something very important- Alex Haynes, the newly claimed son of Zeus. Everyone but the king of the gods insisted they talk about it.

Suddenly, Hades stood in the middle of the throne room in a flash of light and slightly disturbed face showed plainly on his features. "Hades?" Zeus boomed. "What are you doing here?" Hades stepped forward and did not flinch under all of the gazes. "Brother, something happened." he said. Zeus's eyebrow shot up. "And what may that be?"

"Something happened, someone went for rebirth and remembered, somehow." everyone blinked. Poseidon looked up, obviously worried. "Remembered? How is that possible?" Hades shook his head and looked annoyed. "I have no clue! That is what is wrong! Perhaps they did something to the River Lethe or…." he growled. Zeus, and everyone else seemed troubled.

"Perhaps, do you think," Athena began. "It was Perseus Jackson? He was not affected by the river because of his water powers."

"How dare you accuse Percy!" Poseidon shouted. Athena ignored him and continued to look upon Hades. Hade's eyes narrowed and he turned to his younger brother, the god of the seas. "Is she correct? Could she be?" Poseidon seemed to take a moment to think but then he slumped over. "It is very much possible, very much indeed. He might have moved the water aside."

Everyone seemed troubled by this.

"Like this?" Abilene held up her sword. "Exactly like that." Annabeth said. Alex had been a natural and already mastered holding the sword, much Annabeth's delight.

"Great!" she had exclaimed. "Less work for me!" Alex smiled at that and continued taking out the dummies, who didn't have a chance. "Alex!" Abilene yelled. Alex turned around, just before he was about to take out the dummy. "Don't kill that one, his name is Moe!" Alex blinked and let his sword down. He heard Annabeth mutter under her breath," Slash. Now your dead." He shook his head. "Just because his name is Moe I shouldn't kill 'em?" I called to her. Abilene nodded. "His name is Moe. It's cool, so don't kill him. Kill Edward, the sparkly vampire." She pointed to the dummy next to Moe. I grinned and lunged at the sparkly vampire.

He never had a chance.

Alex POV:

"HAHA!" Abilene laughed and fell over, holding her stomach and soon I was in the same position. Annabeth was grinning and Nico was chuckling. "Ed-Edward's gone!" I yelled and fell over in tears. Abilene burst out in another fit of laughs.

"Alright, come on. Go back to your cabins. Alex, Thals wants to train with you. Work on your powers and stuff." Annabeth said and helped Abilene stand up, who was, at the moment, incapable of using her legs. Nico was already gone and Thalia had slipped in unnoticed in all the madness.

Annabeth and Abilene left (who was still laughing) and I wiped the tears from my eyes.

"What's so funny?" Thalia, my half-sister, asked and pointed between the two of us. "I killed Edward, the sparkly vampire. It took another five minutes before we both stopped laughing and got to training.

"Now," Thalia said. "I can't fly-" "Cuz' you afraid of heights?" I blurted out and smacked my hand over my mouth. Thalia blinked and looked at me suspiciously and then before I could do anything, she was at my throat with her dagger. "How. did. you. know that?" Lightning cackled around her, making the air smell of ozone.

I opened my mouth to speak but she cut me off, holding up her index finger. "Don't say Nico, s'far as I know. He doesn't know that I'm afraid of heights." I tried to figure out a way to get out of this. But I couldn't. I couldn't respond. I didn't know what to do.

So I did the first thing that popped into my mind. I looked dead straight at Thalia and screamed. She fell back, just a tad startled and her grip loosened on my shirt. I slammed my foot against the arena floor and flew up twenty, thirty, forty feet into the air.

The wind blew in my face, making my eyes tear. But soon the tears were gone, like my eyes had developed some sort of resistance. I slowly stopped and placed my feet on the air currents supporting me, just like when I had been in the water. I looked down at Thalia, who was just a dot. Suddenly I curled into a ball. All this stress falling down on me.

I couldn't tell Annabeth that she loved architect, or Thalia she was afraid of heights, or Clarisse that she had defeated a Drakon because I didn't know any of these things. I shook my head. Now I knew why people shouldn't remember. They couldn't handle it. I should have stayed in Elysium.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I whipped around so fast that Thalia screamed. Wait a sec, Thalia? "Wha? How are you up here?" I whispered. She shook her head, I could see how pale she was, and sat down next to me. "I can't believe I'm up here," she muttered that under her breath and then looked at me. "Look, what's wrong and how did you know I was afraid of heights and OH MY GODS WE ARE HIGH!" She was looking down and I laughed, despite my troubles. "Forty feet. I knew-" I couldn't let my self finish and I sighed. "Come on, just tell me. If you don't I'll probably kill you." She said. Should I tell her? No. Yes? No. Maybe? No, I shouldn't tell her. It wouldn't work out. She would probably scream that I'm lying and take me to Chiron, then my secret really would be out. "I uh…uh…I knew that because I figured it out." I said. She stared at me. "I've only known you a day and half- at the most. How could you have-" "No," I said. "No, that's not it. I…when we were in….at Hover Dam, or at least near it and there was a boar-" I looked up at Thalia to see her eyes widening. I went on.

"Well, Alex didn't figure it out," I said. "Percy said." I looked up to meet her identical eyes. "You….but…." I sighed.

"I was Percy. I'm his reincarnation and I kinda remember everything. I moved the River Lethe aside. I…I don't….sorry." I finally ended, exasperated.

"No, no, no-" She scooted back a bit, the wind following her so she wouldn't fall. She was shaking her head and I could fell the wind rising. "That can't be true, no, no, no…you-" she looked at me. I smiled but it was grim. Should I have told her? Should I have waited? Yea, probably.

I looked back at my half-sister, old cousin and sighed again. She was still saying I was lying. I turned toward her fully. "Look, I'm not Lying. I told you what happened on the quest-" "But you heard what happened from Annabeth and me on your first day." She cut in. I scowled. Yea, I shouldn't have said anything. "Yea, but it was never mentioned that you were afraid of heights. And, ah! The entire reason Percy, or I, actually went was to get Annabeth!" I exclaimed and nodded to myself, quite proud. Thalia blinked and then looked away and then back at me, a smile creeping up on her face. "That does sound like something Percy would do-" and suddenly she hugged me. I smiled and hugged her back.

When we finally pulled away, mumbling that we didn't like hugs. I grinned.

"I thought you would take me to Chiron." I said. She grinned evilly. "I thought about it. So, you're a son of Zeus now. Huh?" I nodded and blushed a tad bit. "Yea, kinda ironic. I wonder what'll happen….." Both of us remained silent.

"Can we get down now?" She begged. I laughed and let the wind currents slowly take us down to the ground. Once our feet touched the ground she was laying on it. "Oh, I love the ground." Thalia muttered. I still floated around a bit, smiling. "So, Alex- Percy, Uh, What should I call you?" "Alex." "Alright, come on. It's time fore dinner and I'm still absorbing this." She grabbed my hand and pushed me toward the ground and then we walked out. The pavilion was still a ways away.

"Can I fly up there?" I asked Thalia. She looked at me and shuddered and then waved her hand dismissively. "Sure, why not." I grinned and slowly let the wind currents take me up. I reached my arms out in front of me, like Superman, and zipped up so fast I almost didn't even see my surroundings.

I felt so free. Like a weight was lifted off my shoulders as I flew. Free, was a feeling in the air. And I could feel it.

I flew fast toward the pavilion and then dropped down.

Everyone stared at me. "Hey!" I said and sat down at the Zeus table. Maybe I could get used to this.
