October, really busy. I also need to get some sleep, so this chapter will be a bit shorter than I prefer

Angel; She's a daughter of Hades with a grudge...that's scary.

Sage; If you like Naruto or Harry Potter, the stories with them I have will suit you better

Magic; That was real, and not sarcasm, right?

Paxius; Your see them, don't worry

Animeman; Well, she had to get her magic ideas somewhere?

The Ninth Nome; Dream World

Tired from several intense days, the group had taken to beds as soon as they could. But, lets not forget, that demigods are devoid of sanctuary in the land of dreams...and Magicians have tried and failed to use their enchanted, anti dream pillow, things with them and failed miserably.

So, Percy instead of sleeping, was in a house that appeared to be some sort of Asian occupancy...if the golden elephant statues were indication. The place had a odd air of being lived in by an old person, alone.

He noted something on the wall...it looked like a purple heart or similar metal...

"Welcome, son of Poseidon" Percy drew his blade and turned rapidly, to find only an old, stern Asian lady...an oriental Granny Longbottom in stance, or perhaps the wife of one of the old men who generally tutor powerful, but probably ADHD having, anime characters.

"Put that away...I'm only here to talk. I'm rather lonely, you know"

"Um...who are you, exactly..."

"What, you expect me to be some Chinese Goddess, planning to kill you or something? You flatter me, but I am only a Legacy, and a grandmother of a hero in the making..."

"A legacy?"

"You wouldn't know of that...its not your kinds way"

'What other kind is there?' Percy thought after she said it

She coughed, sounding weak for a minute, before she, out of nowhere, transformed into a ostrich.

Percy jumped back, alarmed "WERE OSTRICH!" The old lady returned, annoyed

"There is not such thing...its part of being a legacy. A legacy is the descendent of a god, farther down then a plain demigod, who is half and half. The blood of gods is hard to erase. My line are legacies of Poseidon, through Perilymenus..."

"Wait...does that mean I can transform..."

'No it doesn't you dimwit' Rose appeared next to the Legacy, that they oddly both noticed 'Its a blessing that only could be given, to a legacy'

"Ah, you have Unbirth powers...a rare ability, but a dangerous one" the lady noted

"Wait, you can see here?"

"Of course I can, I can see spirits far too clearly..." the old lady frowned "I'm old"

'Yes you are' Percy thought to himself

"Age fills me, cold creeps through my limbs, but yet I do not die...you at least understand that mortality has advantages Jackson. For me, death will ease my aching limbs forever. But, death's deliverer is missing in action. Thanatos is bound"

"And how exactly do you know this?" He never met the old lady, she wasn't a god, and he knew more than he did...then again he wasn't that smart

"I captured and interrogated a monster named Stheno, but that's not important. So long as Thanatos is bound, and the doors of death are open, all monsters are unable to be slain for a long time, aside for Egyptian demons. As the gods who are awakening to join the group, Ragnarok, no equivalent of Thanatos has yet appeared for them from the sleep the gods of that organization awoke from, only those who equal Hades. He is the only god who can limit monsters returns, in particular the giants, for the giants who have been slain by others so far; Thoon and Enceledaus, have revived."

"Slain, who!" Percy seemed alarmed by that, didn't that require a demigod, and GOD? "Did Magicians..." the old lady waved him off

"Magicians are powerless against giants. Their ribbons don't work on monsters. They can hurt them, but not kill. Not even a host works together with a god. Any god, and any demigod, like Ragnarok's leader, however, can kill a giant...

"Ragnarok's leader's a DEMIGOD!" Percy said in alarm, interrupting the old lady, who looked rather annoyed at him, but still she answered.

"That is correct, and she knows you well..." the dream faded away

"Hey, come back!" Percy yelled as he and Rose were sucked into another vision...

He was now standing on a great fortress of ice, with Rose looking up in shock

"Is...Is that..." he looked up to see a golden staff, that had an eagle perched on it. It seemed to radiate power, a lot like Thalia's tree

However, it didn't feel, right, for some reason

They then caught sight of someone bound in chains, a dark skinned man of rather alarming good looks with black wings. He rose his head and frowned

"Rose Columbine, I thought you were already dead?" he said in a rather bored tone, before a rust colored leg crashed into the ice around him, as a giant reared over them

"So, a vision?" the Giant frowned "I can sense you, demigods, but I can't see you. But, heed this, you cannot defeat us, you or Ragnarok"

Of a burned out building, where a baby lay crying

'Is this...' Rose thought to herself as Percy approached the baby. The two year old appeared to be male, with blond hair, and a scar on his lips

"How did you get that?" Percy asked himself as he reached down to pick it up

As a giant wolf grabbed it first...

'JASON!'

Percy burst up from his covers, alarmed at how that dream ended...

So, that was Jason, he didn't look like a chaos bringer. But, then again, he was only a baby then, and even Kronos was a baby once.

But, that voice that yelled at the end, while younger, seemed familiar for some reason

Meanwhile, Orion was in another place in his own dreams, a bean bag chair filled room, with several stuffed animals lying around. Several murals of animals adorned the walls, and the Dodo's from the island were wandering around, pecking at paintings of vegetation, as if wanting to eat them

"Not very smart, are they?" he turned around and smiled, as he one again saw his mother

"Mom..." she was twelve again.

"Oh..." she turned into the form of her that he was raised by, before they hugged

"That was impressive, fighting Aphrodite" she complimented

"I didn't beat her...the magicians did. I was useless..."

"ORION...must I again point out that you are accomplishing a lot in a short time" his mother admonished "You have no idea how many hunters have tried to do that, and failed. That bimbo needed some humility, and how better to deliver the point then with an arrow?"

"Though, it was probably better that Percy kept her from being ribboned...that would have caused him, and thus you, a lot of problems. That, and a world without love is problematic for me on many moral levels".

"I just wish we had an idea where Ragnarok's base was, instead of them finding us...wait can you..." Artemis shook her head

"I'm afraid I cannot. It was hard enough to open up a channel to reach you beyond father's eyes, getting out to track them would be impossible. And its not for you to try, tracking monsters and gods is something I wouldn't even trust Thalia with, its very dangerous, and easy to mix scents up and get caught up in something bigger than you had planned"

"Bigger, what's bigger than Ragnarok?"

Artemis was silent for a second "Giants"

"Giants...?"

"The sons of Gaea, they rose up after the Titans to try and destroy the Gods, that can only be destroyed by a god and a demigod together..."

"And, they're coming back and because of Zeus, we have no gods" Orion said darkly

"Exactly...well there are the Egyptian Gods, but then again, who knows what they really want" Orion took that with a slight grain of salt, he could sense inherent hostility between the two pantheons, but still that was a fair point...gods were strange and hard to read

"Though, a few gods are still around; Amphitrite for one, Arion, Terminus, Nereus, to name a few, but it could be difficult to get their aide. But, there are a few giants in particular I need to warn you about" Orion leaned in closer

"First, Alyconeus, the giant leader, who cannot be killed, no matter what, in his homeland, and a counter to Hades"

"Goodie" Orion said sarastically

"Porphyrion, the counter to Zeus, and their strongest. He has yet to awaken, but if he should...avoid him if at all possible."

"Got it"

"If you might happen to meet two giant twins, that's another issue. I'm not sure if they returned as well, but they may have returned, the Aloadae"

"The who?"

"Twin brother giants, they tried to stack mountains to reach the top of Olympus...for sons of Poseidon they were particularly dumb. They also wanted me and Hera as their wives, and could only be killed if they killed each other"

"I'm taking they did?"

"They did. I turned into a doe, after having gotten them angry at each other with a lie that required me to wash my mouth afterwords" she shivered at what she had said "They tried to kill doe me, and killed each other. But, any dead who have reason to hate Olympus are oddly vanishing from the underworld...so they might reappear as well"

"Um, how many enemies do you have down there anyway?"

His mother frowned..."I lost count. But, if you want to stick to people who can kill you, Adonis, Callisto...perhaps you should just avoid any walking dead"

"You know, that's probably a good point"

"Beware Gration, most of all" his mother added "He's my bane, and if you thought fighting Aphrodite or that Voodoo freak was bad, he's worse. If he hears of you, he will seek you out in particular. Giants are notoriously sadistic"

"Are there any giants I can fight then?"

"Oh, the rest are simple enough, their just giant and often breath fire"

"Oh goodie..."

Meanwhile, realm of the Egyptian Gods

"So, we are agreed, to that point at least" there was a affirmative nod all around

"Send word to magicians of our current decision, while we return to the bigger one"

"DEATH TO ROME!"

"Shut up!"

Ra wished he had a weasel cookie right now
