"You summoned us, Lord Zeus?" Many would be surprised by the respect I was showing, until they took a look at the gods. They were pale and sickly looking, and they were all in pain.

"With you three being the only demigods left, we are dying. We've come to the decision to send you Persis, and you as well Thalia and Nico, to a different world where you'll be safer."

"What do you mean safer Father?" Zeus smiled sadly at Thalia.

"When we fade, the mist will fail, and the monsters will run rampant. So we're going to send you away. To ensure that you survive Artemis will be giving you all the same immortality that her hunters had. Of course at that point Aphrodite got jealous and decided that you have to have her blessing. With that you'll be far more attractive, and your outfits will be unable to to tear. To further help you, Athena will be removing your dyslexia." At this point he doubled over coughing, so my father took over.

"Hephaestus has upgraded your weapons with blessed silver and mortal steel, as there's no telling what you'll run into. He also made each of you a firearm, a double barrel glock 18 for Perci, Thalia gets a sawed off 10-gauge shotgun, and Nico has a sniper rifle. You'll each be given the knowledge of how to take apart, clean, and reassemble your guns." We each got our original weapons in their hidden forms, before Hephaestus gave us our new firearms, which he showed us how to turn in rings. Posiedon seemed winded, so Hades finished it off.

"We'll be using all of our power to open this portal, and we really can't delay much longer. I know you want time to say goodbye, but we don't have time. Artemis, Aphrodite, Athena, do what you must." They tapped each of us on the forehead before retreating back to their thrones, where they and the rest of the gods began to chant. A portal opened beneath us, even as they began to turn to dust. My attention was solely on my father.

"I love you!" I shouted in tandem with Nico and Thalia. His face lit up as we fell into the portal, his smile the last I saw before everything went black.

"They have a lot of nerve sending their spawn to our world Brother." There were two floating shapes, one made of light and the other made of shadows.

"We must assume that they had no other choice though, they know the rules."

"Nonetheless, we can change each of them in any way we desire."

"We are in need of more warriors, and I have the best ideas for the girls."

"So I get free reign with the boy?"

"Within reason brother, don't ruin him the same way you did Salem."

"I've learned my lesson… These ones won't be as ineffective as Ozma will they?"

"Only time will tell."

I woke up with a start, throwing two heads off my chest as I sat up.

"What the hell Perci." I glanced at them in bemusement, they're far more alike than they would like to admit, before rubbing my eyes to look again.

"Nico why do you have wolf ears? And why is your hair white Thalia?" They both started freaking out, and I noticed a pond. I went over to it to splash some water on my face to finish waking up, only to be surprised as I saw my eyes were silver. "Well look at the bright side." They both turned to glare at me, and I noticed Nico also had a tail. "We won't be mistaken for siblings anymore." They blushed and looked away, before Thalia sighed.

"What supplies do we have?" After a quick check it was discovered we had everything that was on us before going through the portal, so our weapons, including our new guns, a tin of Ambrosia and a bottle of Nectar each, and a couple changes of clothes apiece. I gave each of them a kiss, and they looked at me questioningly.

"Hey, we're good you two. We've got through worse situations with less supplies, remember that time in Oklahoma?" They were both glaring at me now.

"We agreed to never talk about that Perci…" Nico trailed off as his ears swiveled to the left. "We have company, some kind of wild animal. I don't think they're friendly." His ears swiveled again. "They're on all sides, we're surrounded." We each pulled out our normal weapons. A sword for me, a scythe for Nico, and a naginata for Thalia.

"Time to have some fun." The first set burst into our little clearing, made up of demonic looking wolves, bears, and pigs. At the same time we all spoke.

"Bet I can kill more than you two!" It was on.
