GOOD EVENING EVERYONE! Nick Write here, bringing you chapter 1 of Hero of the New Age! Welcome back everyone. Now, this is just an updated chapter, which should fit better with the prologue that was just recently uploaded. I'll try to be fast about it, but no promises. I hope you all enjoy regardless. READ ON!

It was a relitavely normal day at Camp-Half Blood. Eh, well as normal as a demigod camp can be. The sun was shining in the sky like always, and the campers happily walked back and forth from classes in it's rays. One demigod in particular sat at the bottom of a lake located on the corner of the camp, feeling the small currents, and hearing the fish that would pass by and say a few words every once and a while. Percy Jackson was the one of the Saviors of Olympus, now twice over, as well as having many more titles under his belt. He fought Kronos in the second Titan War, even if he didn't technically kill him, denied immortality from the gods themselves, and then went into the second Giant War, and helped defeat Gaea, everyone's dirt grandma. So it was to be expected that the Son of Posiedeon wanted a minute to catch his breath, that minute preferably lasting until he died. Did he expect that to happen? No. But Hestia taught him that hope is always an important thing in a young demigod's life. Percy was interrupted from his musings when a rock hit him on the top of his head. Slightly annoyed that he had been disturbed, he rose from the water, to see Clarisse, giving him a deadpan look, and holding another rock.

" Hey, Prissy. Chiron wants to see you at the Big House."

Percy sighed." What is it this time?"

Clarisse shrugged." The hell am I supposed to know? He wants you, not me."

The Daughter of Ares tossed the rock back, hitting Percy upside the head again, and the demigod crawled out of the lake, grumbling about how much he despised Ares. He made his way over to the Big House, and gave a knock to the door. The door opened, and Chiron greeted Percy.

" Hello Percy."

Percy gave his signature lopsided grin." Hey Chiron. Clarisse told me that you wanted to see me?"

The centaur nodded, and beckoned for the son of Posideon to enter the building. They sat at the Ping-Pong table, and Mr. D folded his hands over the top of it.

" Okay Peter, we may have a problem on our hands."

Percy raised an eyebrow." Problem?"

Dionysus nodded." Yes, now shut it and listen. The gods have been issued a threat from someone that hasn't been around for a very long time."

Percy went to open his mouth to comment, but decided against it, and let the Wine god continue. Mr. D nodded.

" Zeus wants you to gather a group of demigods and fight this guy."

Percy groaned. Of course. He gets out of his second war, and not even two months later he's thrown right back into the fray. Chiron gave Percy an apologetic look.

" I'm sorry Percy. I much would've preferred that you stay out of this, but I can't exactly go against wishes from the King of the gods himself."

The demigod sighed, and nodded." I know Chiron. Alright, what is this guy we're dealing with?"

Before Dionysus could speak, a camper bust through the door. A son of Apollo from the looks of it. He fidgeted nervously, and looked to Percy and Chiron.

" Uh, we may have a bit of a problem out here."

Percy looked towards Mr. D and Chiron. The god rolled his eyes, and motioned for him to go help, and Chiron followed him out. They followed the demigod, and came to the barrier of the camp. Percy looked down the hill, and saw a bunch of re-animated skeletons-about 9 or 10 with two of them wielding a sword and shield. Trying to fight them off was a young boy, wearing a green shirt, jeans, boots, with a long, green beanie adorned on his head. He had a wooden shield himself, and a short sword. The new boy wasn't doing too bad, but he was obviously overwhelmed. Percy pulled out Riptide, and uncapped it, running down to help the boy. He swung the sword in a wide arc, hitting the skeleton square in the rib cage, and the monster fell into a pile and burned away. That wasn't normal. The boy looked over to Percy in awe, seeing as he destroyed the monster in one hit. He then turned back, and focused on the monsters, fighting with fervor. Percy helped him, both of them dispatching the monsters fairly quickly. The boy was breathing heavily, and looked towards Percy. The son of the sea capped Riptide, and held out a hand.

" Percy Jackson

The boy shook his hand." Link Faron."

Percy could've swore that he had heard that name before, but he shook it off. Maybe it was short for Lincoln or something. He got a closer look at the boy. He had blonde hair, and peircing blue eyes. He could've passed as a son of Zeus, or maybe Apollo. Most likely the latter, considering that Zeus shouldn't have any more kids this age. Then again, Percy didn't know the god's personal life. He shook his head, and re-focused. His wooden shield had an odd symbol on it. Two lines that curved into each other. His sword was short-only about two feet- more of a dagger than a sword. He noticed the boy was giving him an odd look, and he gave a sheepish grin. He turned and spread his arms dramatically, taking a page out of his uncle's book.

" Welcome to Camp Half-Blood."

Link simply nodded." It's nice."

He took one step forward, before collapsing on the ground, unconscious. Percy turned around, surprised, and called for Chiron and the Apollo kid to come and help get him to the infirmary.

Chiron looked at Percy." You figure he's either a son of Apollo or Zeus, but most likely Apollo? He does look the part. Did he show any specific triats or powers that could help us identify him?"

Percy shook his head. Now that he thought about it, he couldn't get a good read on the kid. He seemed guarded. Secluded even. Perhaps he had been on the run for a while.

" I'm just wondering why he was being chased by a bunch of Spartoi. I'm also surprised by how easily they went down."

Chiron nodded." It is very troubling. Perhaps we'll find out more once the boy awakens."

Percy nodded." Maybe."

When Annabeth heard that Percy had saved some new demigod, who immediately went to the infirmiry, she couldn't say she was surprised at all. In fact, she would've been more surprised if he hadn't went to help. She was curious, and she had ventured to the infirmiry, and noticed a few Apollo kids hard at work to heal the boy. Annabeth took in his features. He was boyish. Very boyish. If he had pointed ears, Annabeth would've called him an elf from the Lord of the Rings series. However, just by giving him a once over, she could tell there was something off about him. She thought for a moment, before Percy came up from behind her.

" Hey Wise Girl." He smiled warmly to her.

" Hey Seaweed Brain. Good to see you're visiting the kid you hospitalized."

Percy cried out indiginantly." I didn't hospitalize him! It was the ten Spartoi that were chasing him!"

Annabeth looked surprised." TEN?! That's ridiculous! How'd you kill them all?"

Percy looked confused." I just hit them with my sword. They actually went down in one hit. Then burst into blue flames."

The daughter of Athena looked confused." Wait. They didn't reform?"

Percy suddenly gained a look of realization." They didn't reform."

Annabeth looked over to the boy." Is he a son of Hades?"

Percy looked at him as well." He certainly doesn't look it."

Annabeth gave him a deadpan look." Does Hazel?"

Percy looked around sheepishly." A little."

Annabeth sighed." Honestly Percy. Not everyone has to look like death reincarnate to be the child of Hades."

Percy suddenly rose from his defeat." Would a son of Hades have sky blue eyes?"

Annabeth gave him a 'really' look." I haven't seen his eyes yet."

Percy went to speak again, but closed his mouth in defeat. Annabeth rolled her eyes. He was such a Seaweed Brain. The two of them were interrupted from thier theorizing when the boy began to stir in his bed.

The boy rose, and put a hand to his head.

" Uhg. What happened?"

Almost immediately, children of Apollo were checking his vitals and making sure he didn't have any permanent damage. Once they had deemed him ready, he was taken out of the infirmiry by Percy and Annabeth. Annabeth looked him up and down.

" He looks like he could be Jason's hipster brother."

Link blushed a little, kind of offended that he was called a hipster. Percy nodded.

" I dunno though. He looks almost exactly like some of the Apollo children."

Link looked confused for a moment." Wait, Apollo? Isn't he a Greek god? Artemis' brother, right?"

Percy and Annabeth both looked up at the boy, interrupted from thier theorizing once again. The blonde girl turned to her boyfriend.

" We should bring him to Chiron."

Percy nodded." Yeah."

Link raised an eyebrow." You said Chiron? I was told to come see him."

Annabeth looked confused." By who."

Link didn't look at her." Artemis."

Annabeth and Percy's eyes widened at the same time. They looked at each other.

" Okay let's go."

They ran to the Big House, Link following them closely behind, and they bust through the door. Percy was the first to call out.

" Chiron!"

The centaur jumped, as well as a spooked forest nymph. At the sight of the three, the forest nymph left the building. Annabeth looked at where the nymph had been in confusion.

" Wait, forest nymphs usually don't stray this far away from the forest. What was she doing here?"

Chiron made a dismissive gesture." Nothing for you to worry about. Now, what is it that you had to come and startle me like that about?"

Percy pointed to Link, who simply seemed tired of being confused." The new kid woke up, and we were taking him to you anyway, but he said that he had been told to seek you out by Lady Artemis."

The old centaur looked surprised at the information." Lady Artemis, you say? You must be a very lucky young man. Lady Artemis usually never helps males like you."

Link seemed a little nervous." Yeah, she seemed kind of biased against me. But she was spouting stuff about gods and demigods, and I need an explanation that makes sense.

Chiron nodded." Well, I have reason to believe that you're a demigod, Link."

Link raised an eyebrow." But I'm an orphan."

Chiron laughed." That only helps my theory."

Link seemed skeptical still. Percy was confused. Usually the new kids were excited. Link began to speak again.

" What makes you so sure?"

Chiron smiled knowingly." Well, for one, only demigods and immortals can enter can't, so mortals and monsters can't enter the camp directly through the barrier."

Link went to open his mouth, before closing it, and his eyes widened. What did this mean for him? What was he going to do now? Did this mean he wasn't a full orphan? One of his parents was alive?

He looked at Chiron." What now then. If I am a demigod, what now?"

Chiron gave a warm smile." Well, there are several things you can do. But for now. Perseus, Annabeth."

The two looked at Chiron in sync." Yes?"

The old centaur turned to Link, the smile still adorning his face." They'll show you around Camp, and then settle you in at the Hermes Cabin, where you'll stay until you're claimed."

Link nodded, and followed the two older demigods out of the Big House, trailing them into a whole new world.

AAAAAAAAND THAT'S A WRAP! I hope all of you liked the rewrite! Not too much changed at all, but I made it make a little more sense.

Please leave a review, they're all appreciated. And as always...
