"That was truly the most prodigious circle-casting I've ever experienced!" Damien gushed after the circle had been closed and we all were gathering up all the candles and smudge sticks.

"I thought 'prodigious' meant 'big'," Shaunee said looking Damien her hands on her hips.

"It also can show exciting wonder and can refer to something stupendous and monumental," Annabeth said smiling.

"Yes, what Annabeth said." Damien said clearly over flown with excitement.

As everyone started to excitedly talk among themselves. I looked over to Zoey who was under the oak tree looking at the smudge stick and looked to be deep in thought. I walked over to her and stood next to her. "You okay?"

She nodded and sighed, "I just don't understand why Nyx has chosen me- you know?"

I nodded and chuckled, "You are probably looking at the one person who truly understands what you're feeling." I then nudged her arm and chuckled. "But hey I am here to help you figure this out."

Zoey smiled and nodded then her eyes got wide, "Weren't you supposed to tell everyone the thing you told me?"

I looked at everyone and nodded, "There's probably never going to be a better time than now."

"Better time for what?" Damien asked and everyone turned to me.

I felt my heartbeat in my chest and I took a deep breath. "To tell you guys what I told you I would tell you guys." Shaunee and Erin immediately gave me their full attention and Damien and Stevie Rae looked at me with an intrigued look. I rubbed the back of my neck trying to figure out where to start. I then looked at Annabeth and smiled. "Do you guys promise to not tell anyone what I tell you?" I must have said it in a way more serious tone than I expected because they all nodded and I decided to just go with it.

"Well there is no easy way to start this, so let's just get to the core of this." I said and looked at Annabeth who stared at me with an expression that told me that I was doing well. "The Gods are real. The Greek gods- and Roman gods by fault."

Damien chuckled a bit after I paused then I saw he realized he was serious. "Wait, that wasn't a joke. The Ancient Greek Gods are real? Like Zeus, Hera, Hades?!"

I nodded then chuckled, "Yes, they are real. And because the gods are real- their children are real. Yes demigods are alive today." I paused and looked at everyone, "I mean there are two camps that are specifically for children of the gods. Demigods."

Damien nodded then his eyes widened, "Wait, Percy are you a demigod?"

I nodded, "It's not just me. Annabeth, Will, and Nico are demigods too." I said and They all just waved. Nico looked up at the sky for a split second.

"Wait, you're a god's kid?" Shaunee asked and looked me up and down.

"Well that explains his looks Twin." Erin said with a smile chuckling.

Stevie Rae then looked at me, "If you guys are children of the gods- which gods are your parents?"

"My father is Posiedon." I said and saw Damien's eyes widen, "I can control water, heal myself with water, make hurricanes, and sometimes earthquakes. Oh and I can speak to any animal that has a connection to my dad."

"The god of the sea is your dad- oh my god- that explains so much." Damien said which caused people to laugh a bit.

Annabeth then spoke up to answer Stevie Rae, "My mother is Athena, now it's important to note demigods sometimes are not conceived the traditional way. My mom created a demigod out of the love for my father's brain."

Damien nodded, "Like gods are not often conceived the traditional way…"

Will then smiled, "My dad is Apollo-" Will started and Damien looked me directly in his eyes. "I can heal almost anything, I inherited my father's healing powers, I also am average at archery, I'm getting better with music, and I'm terrible at Poetry."

"Will, you're amazing at music." Stevie Rae said with a smile and He smiled back.

It was Nico's turn and he sighed, "My dad is Hades. I can travel by using the shadows."

"Like you could use shadows to get from here to Macy's?" Shaunee asked and Nico nodded.

Everyone was silent for a while till Damien spoke up, "I'm not sure why I was so surprised we worship Nyx-"

"Different Nyx, trust me." I said and closed my eyes as memories came to light. I shook my head. "I know this is a lot, but I'm telling you all this because me, Annabeth, Nico, and Will trust you guys. It feels bad to keep this from y'all."

"This is a lot to take in…" Stevie Rae said and then she smiled, "We should all head back and let it all settle in."

Everyone nodded and we all packed up to head back, "I'm sorry for dropping such a bomb of information on you guys." I said rubbing my neck.

Everyone then chuckled a bit and actually laughed. Damien then put his arm around my shoulder chuckling, "Percy, we have just learned that we got a lot of power in our corner- some of that power comes with more information about the world itself, but that's why we're heading to our dorms."

I smiled and looked around and noticed Zoey had stayed by the tree as we started to walk back. "Zoey, are you okay?" I asked which caused her to look up.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm fine, just a little distracted." Zoey said and she still looked distracted by something.

"We should get back. It's getting late." Stevie Rae said kindly and Zoey nodded.

"I know, I just need to think for a bit. Take everything in." Zoey said and I realized she needed to be outside in the cool air for a bit. "You guys go ahead I'll catch up later."

I Stevive Rae nodded then smiled. "Alright, I'll make a sandwich for you and try to scare up some chips to go with your brown non-diet pop. It's important that a High Priestess eats after she performs a ritual."

"Thank you Stevie Rae." Zoey said, holding Nala close.

Stevie Rae then herded all of us like cattle and when made our way to the dorms. We talked about the gods and I told some of my favorite stories from Camp Half-Blood. And Annabeth decided it was time to embarass me, Will talked about the injuries he has had to heal, and Nico talked about his dad and step-mom. Everyone seemed to be taking this all extremely well. I couldn't help but glance over at Damien who looked confused. I wondered what he was thinking about but decided it would probably be better to talk to him in our dorm.

When we got to the dorm I opened the door and Cammy meowed from Damien's bed. I walked in and sat on my bed thinking about everything. Damien closed the door then sat on his bed he laid down and Cammy curled up next to him. I decided to just let Damien process what I told everyone, I went and got ready for bed and when I came back I saw that Damien had taken out a cross stitch project. I looked at the time and decided that it would be a good idea if I went to bed. But as I started to lay down I heard Damien's voice.

"Percy?" He asked and I sat up to look at him.

"Yeah?" I asked and he looked over to me.

"Do you think Zoey is going to be okay?" He asked me and I thought about it.

I nodded, "She has us, she has her circle, and Nyx is on her side." I said and looked at Damien, "I'm positive she will be okay."

Damien nodded then smiled, "I think we should head to bed" He said and then chuckled.

I nodded chuckling, "Yeah, I'd say you're right."

Damien then turned his light off after he put his cross stitching project up. I rolled over and slowly started to fall asleep. I hoped tomorrow would go smoothly for Zoey, and that would just be a normal day. But something told me that it would be anything but.
