After a MORNING OF STORM SPIRITS…Just like the dream said

"I must've missed something here. What dream?" Percy said

"You didn't miss anything. We should find out later." Annabeth said

She stood in back of the chariot…yet didn't know who she was.

Aphrodite cooed softly. Piper sighed. Jason felt extremely awkward and he figured that if the book was about him, Piper and Leo then there were probably going to be chapters with his feelings for her which he was definitely not looking forward to and now he sympathized more with Percy for having his thoughts read out.

"Do you guys remember being in a relationship?" Leo asked them.

"Like right now?" Piper asked. Leo nodded.

"No. We remember that we were in a relationship and we broke up and who I am dating now but not the events or how it started." Piper said.

"Oh that's crazy." Leo said. Jason and Piper nodded.

All semester she'd worked…about it, not even Jason.

"A really bad demigod dream, apparently." Thalia said, giving Piper a sympathetic look.

It was like someone had wiped…not even noticing her.

"I'm probably just thinking about what is going on with me. It seems like it was quite a lot for me as well." Jason said. Piper nodded.

Meanwhile, Leo was being…Camp Half-Blood."

The romans smirked.

"And then we came." Reyna laughed. Everybody chuckled or laughed as well.

"And then you came." Annabeth agreed.

"Half-Blood?" Piper was immediately…it was never a compliment.

Annabeth grimaced.

"Sorry, Piper." She said.

"It's fine." Piper smiled.

"Is that some kind of bad joke?"… "Rainbows. Very macho."

"Sure, good way to manage that." Frank said

"It seems that he is very muscular. I would probably expect him to be a son of Hecate or Nike. Though I know Butch now." Leo said

"Butch is our best equestrian,"… you off this chariot," Butch warned.

Everybody snickered.

"Demigods," Piper said…they were in a totally different place

"Whoa! What the heck was that?" Dakota asked

"Now that was some super awesome Iris powers." Castor grinned at him.

"That sounds lit." Dakota said

"It is." Pollux grinned

A cold gray ocean stretched…bad as hitting cement.

"That's true but our lake has very helpful naiads and that's good because of other times we might crash chariots in so they help us out of there." Percy said

"I know that now. Well a little bit." Piper chuckled. Percy nodded and grinned.

"However if you're unlucky to not have naiads and then fall into water from a high place then you're totally screwed." Percy said

"Right." Piper said "Doesn't sound like a good way to die." She said

"It is not." Nico said

And then — BOOM…seconds her clothes were dry

Everybody chuckled and laughed.

"We do fall in the lake a lot." Annabeth said

"I jumped in once." Percy said sheepishly.

Poseidon snorted in laughter.

There were at least twenty campers…"I'll get it fixed, I promise."

"Whoo! My introduction." Will chuckled "But he you destroyed the chariot." He said to Annabeth

"Like I said, I'll get it fixed." Annabeth chuckled.

Will scowled…they been claimed already?"

"Yeah, why haven't they?" Percy raised his eyebrow at the gods

"Probably waiting for them to get to camp?" Hermes said

"They're over thirteen but they better get claimed soon." Percy said.

"Claimed?" Leo asked…disappearance seemed to be a big deal.

Percy smiled at the elder Greek campers who grinned at him.

"We'll find you this time." Beckendorf grinned. Percy nodded.

"Wait a sec. Am I alive or dead?" Beckendorf asked.

"You're alive." Nico said as he read a note which came from the fates just that second.

Leo and Hephaestus hugged and high fived Beckendorf. The Greek campers cheered and Silena kissed Beckendorf which resulted in the cheers getting louder.

Another girl stepped forward…school her father had sent her to.

"Drew." Annabeth sighed.

Piper knew instantly…They had no idea...

"This dream thing is kind of creeping me out now." Michael said. Everybody nodded.

"Jason," Annabeth said…"all demigods are worth saving.

"Exactly. Each life matters. The sooner you learn that the better." Nico said. Hades, Hazel and Persephone nodded.

But I'll admit…didn't ask to be brought here."

"The thing is that once you realize that you're a demigod or face your first attack, your scent grows stronger. It's surprising that you and Leo went through for so many years without any attacks." Grover said

Piper stepped forward…somebody she wanted for an enemy

Annabeth and Piper grinned at each other.

"Nope, you don't." Reyna laughed.

"We need to make our new…The campers backed away.

"Why do we always back away during claiming? It is not scary." Percy said

"It's a little shock and respect." Chiron said.

At first Piper thought she'd done… a fiery hammer.

Leo and Beckendorf grinned widely. Hephaestus smiled. Percy nodded.

"That," Annabeth said… something in flames with his head.

Everybody chuckled.

"Wow Leo." Jason grinned.

"It would be surprising." Leo grinned.

"This can't be good,"… "The curse —"

"What curse?" Beckendorf and Hephaestus said at the same time.

"It should come up." Hermes said

"Butch, shut up," Annabeth said

A few snickers.

"Leo, you've just been… "I'm not sure."

"I mean if we ignore the fact that I am a demigod, it could also be that I am a mythology geek or something. I mean if Nico would've been a roman mythology fan then even he would've recognized it or he could've recognized it in the Greek form." Jason said.

"That's true. It's just that not all Greeks use Roman names of the gods. We prefer to call them by the Greek name because that's their original form to us. It is a little surprising when a new arrival knows the Roman names of the gods and monsters. Especially as you are able to recognize them." Annabeth said.

"Vulcan?" Leo demanded… What are you talking about?"

Everybody chuckled.

"Vulcan is the Roman name… "The god of what? Who?"

Hephaestus smiled and shook his head fondly.

Annabeth turned to the guy… steered him off toward the cabins.

Everybody laughed.

Will grinned at Leo.

"Finally, somebody's gonna clear the doubts." Percy said, giving a mock glare to Annabeth who grinned sheepishly at him.

Annabeth turned her attention… almost like a declaration of war

"It probably would be to them. It would be a huge problem if any of the campers recognize the marks." Apollo said

"They look burned… I don't remember."

"I don't like that concept." Castor frowned

"Why?" Dakota asked

"Multiple reasons really. This is just my personal opinion. I don't want to offend any of you. It's just that first burning it into somebody's skin to mark them as a member… it just seems a little… you know. And also that it marks you forever as a Roman and forever to Roman jobs." Castor said

"The burning is painful but that's just the way we did it. And as for the forever marking you thing, well it would strip you of your rank if you choose to go somewhere else and leave the Roman camp. Before I think would be considered treason to go over to the Greeks but like Jason chose to do so because he was given a choice, I think. We don't really know the entirety of his story." Dakota said.

"It might come up in the books. It's an important decision of my life so it might come in my point of view." Jason said. Castor nodded.

No one said anything…They were waiting for her verdict.

"Yep. Percy and Annabeth." Silena smiled. Percy and Annabeth blushed.

He needs to go straight to Chiron," Annabeth decided

"Do you think you know what the marks mean?" Athena asked her.

"I don't know. Maybe some sort of familiarity." Annabeth said.

"Drew, would you —"… "Is Jason in some kind of trouble?"

Thalia and Zeus looked at Chiron.

"No, I do not think that I will harm Jason. His arrival will definitely concern me but I will not hurt him." He said.

Annabeth hesitated… We need to talk."

"I don't like this." Piper said. Everybody nodded.

"Done." Beckendorf said.

"Okay. I have a question for you." Hermes said to the demigods

"Okay." Annabeth said

"Do the ones who you know died, remember how and when they died?" he asked.

"No. We know that we died and now are alive but we don't know how and when. I only remember that I died for a friend." Jason said. The demigods who had died nodded.

"So what do you remember?" Hermes asked

"Our current relationships. Like we know that we had become great friends at a point of time. We remember how our current romantic relationships started. Like Piper said, if we have broken up then we remember that we were in a relationship and then broke up but not the details. As the book will get over some very very fuzzy images might come into our heads but we aren't sure of that yet." Jason said. Hermes nodded.

"Thanks, that's much more clear." He grinned. Everybody nodded and chuckled.

"I'll read next." Hephaestus said.
