"Hello Alexandra. It's good to see you." My mother said happily. She and Zues walked into my cabin. My mother stayed in the doorway, but Zues made his way through all the crap that was left on the floor to sit on Thalia's bed.

"Hello." The almighty Zeus said. He did not have a harsh tone, but I could tell that he was trying to see what to make of me.

"Mother, Grandfather, I am honored to be in your presence." I said politely.

"Cut the honored crap. I'm your mom. Talk to me like you would a normal mother." My mom said kindly. "I wanted to talk to you about what happened today."

"I can explain," I started to say.

"You do not need to. We have seen it all. I understand. I would have done the same thing." Zeus said.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yes." He answered. "I just wanted to warn you, things my get ugly. Also, be on the lookout for a quest to come your way. I feel I may need you in the future."

With that he erupted into a dazzling light. My mother was left standing in the doorway.

"Honey," She said quietly, "tell Hermes you need to see the Oracle. Rachel will know what to do."

She then walked out of the cabin and disappeared into the woods. Perfect, I thought to myself, just perfect.
