Also, to durpy the guest, you are correct, I can't tell you that wouldn't have been cool, because I can't respond to guest reviews. So you win in that aspect. Other than that, I am providing no information to you. Although, you may be pretty close to the truth. Okay, that's enough riddle speak. I hope all of you enjoy this chapter! READ ON!

The conch horn that signified breakfast sounded off seconds after Link awoke from his slumber. He wiped the sleepiness out of his eyes, and rose from his uncomfortable sleeping bag on the floor. He seriously need to invest in some cushions of some sort. He stretched and yawned, and exited the cabin, wearing the same thing he had went to sleep in, which was just his normal outfit. The teen's steps were heavy, a result of him just have woken up, and from strange dream nontheless. As he walked, he could hear a bubly voice call out his name.

" Hey Link! Wait up!"

He turned around, seeing the red-headed daughter of Hermes running towards him, the same grin she had plastered on her face the previous night still present.

" Woah, you look like crap. You okay."

Link nodded, and yawned." Just had a rough sleep. The floor is very unforgiving."

Malon laughed." You get used to it."

He chuckled tiredly, and the two walked in silence to the breakfast pavillion. They sat down, and Link noticed that he wasn't the only one that looked like he was about to collapse. Perhaps the late hours weren't a good idea anymore. They silently waited for breakfast, and then Chiron stood up at the front of the pavillion. He gently tapped a fork to his goblet, gaining all of the demigods' attention.

" We had a wonderful game of Capture the Flag last night, and congratulations to the blue team on winning."

There were a few tired cheers that rang out, but not many. Chiron continued.

" Anyways. I have talked with Lady Artemis and her hunters, and they will be coming over for a few days."

Many groans were elicted from the group if demigods, mostly males. Link was confused, but Chiron calmed them down. He sighed.

" Now, all of you know the hunters' rules. Please try not to antagonize them."

Everyone nodded. Chiron accepted this, and turned to the Athena table.

" Perseus and Annabeth, I'd like to see the two of you after breakfast."

The two nodded, and Chiron spread his arms.

" You can eat now!"

The pavillion swirled with harpies bringing everyone their food. As per usual, they sacraficed a portion of thier meal to the gods. Link sighed and ate quietly. Malon was stuffing her face, as per usual, so it was quiet. Then, someone sat down beside them. Link looked over, and it was Aaron, the Child of Apollo from the night before. He grinned.

" That was some pretty good bow shooting last night. Where'd you learn?"

Link shook of the surprise, and grinned." An old friend taught me. But I've always had a talent for it."

The boy's grin grew wider, and he pat Link on his shoulder.

" You know, I think you'd be doing well hanging out with the Apollo kids."

The other child of Hermes he was sitting beside looked over to him." Hey. You aren't supposed to-"

Aaron shoved a buscuit in his mouth, effectively shutting the boy up. He never took his eyes off of Link. Said teen looked awkwardly between the two, before grinning sheepishly.

" Yeah, maybe."

Soon after the exchange, breakfast ended. Link went to walk away, but someone gently tapped his shoulder. He turned around, and saw Chiron there. Link gave him a confused look.

" Yes?"

Chiron motioned for him to follow." Come Link. We have much to discuss."

The two arrived in the Big House, where Percy, Annabeth, A blonde man with sunglasses, and Artemis were waiting for them. Link bowed to Artemis, remembering the honor thing, and she nodded in his direction. The blonde headed man looked at him over his sunglasses.

" She get's one but I don't"

Link hurridley bowed to the man, but the man laughed." Don't worry about it kid. I know you don't know who I am."

Link breathed a sigh of relief, and the man stuck his hand outward.

" I'm Apollo, god of a whole bunch of stuff. And this is my younger sister Arty."

He shook his hand, and gave the god a confused look." But in the mythology books I've read Artemis came out first. Are they written wrong."

Apollo gave a surprised look, and Artemis pointed at him and laughed, Percy tried to surpress a laugh, and Annabeth rolled her eyes. Apollo glared at his sister, before grinning, and patting Link on the shoulder.

" Yeah they're wrong."

He ignore the arrow that narrowly missed the groin of his pants, and continued to grin. Link just looked around sheepishly. Chiron nodded.

" Ok, now that everyone is aquainted, we can get on with the meeting."

They all sat down, and Link immediately put his hand up. Chiron nodded into his direction.

" Uh, no offense, but why am I here?"

The old centaur nodded." Ah yes. Link. You were called with us because Apollo brought up something important when he arrived."

They all looked towards the sun god. He gave Link a serious look.

" Link. You aren't normal."

Percy snorted from the other side of the table. Apollo sighed.

" Okay, let me rephrase that. You aren't a normal demigod."

This time there was silence. Apollo grinned smugly, but Link was still confused.

" Uh, not to be rude, but what do you mean?"

Apollo continued." I had a hunch when I first got here and felt something off, but when I shook your hand, I got a definite answer. Link, you aren't a Greek demigod. And Percy, before you say anything, he's also not Roman, or Norse. Yeah, of course we know about them."

Percy shut his mouth, pink blush lightly dusting his cheeks. Annabeth raised an eyebrow.

" Is a mortal."

Artemis shook her head." No, he's no mortal. He's not a monster either. Him being camp this long proves that in itself."

Link's head was spinning. What was he then?

Apparently Annabeth shared the sentiment.

" Then what is he?"

Apollo held a hand up." We were getting to that. This next part is actually why we needed Percy and Annabeth."

Artemis continued for him." Something is rising. Something that we haven't seen for a millenia."

Percy groaned." Not another Primordial god or Titan or something."

Apollo shook his head." No, none of that. A demon."

Annabeth raised an eyebrow." A demon? That's all?"

Artemis glared at Apollo for stealing her words." No, this demon is much more dangerous and powerful. In fact, it's imperative that we have Link in dealing with this next threat."

Now everyone was confused. Percy spoke up first.

" Why?"

" I believe I can answer that."

Everyone spun around, and they saw a woman in a blouse, buttoned up all the way to the collar, and a pencil skirt, black panty hose, and heels. Her royal blue hair was tied up in a neat pony tail, leaving her bangs to swirl out to the sides. She wore a pair of glasses, and had a blue triangle situated on the middle of her forehead. Apollo and Artemis seemed uneasy around the woman. Everyone else didn't know who she was. She bowed slightly.

" I apologize. I never introduced myself. I am Nayru, goddess of wisdom."

Annabeth's eyes widened slightly at that. Nayru saw this, and nodded.

" Yes, I do know your mother. We were once good friends. It's been millenia since I've seen her."

Artemis looked at Nayru grimly." So it's true."

Nayru nodded." Yes. He's returning. My dear sister asked me to come down here to explain it all to Link."

Apollo rose an eyebrow." Why not come down herself?"

Nayru sighed, and pinched the bridge of her nose.

" She fears that she can't explain it well enough. She's also nervous about venturing into your domain." She looked over to Artemis." Especially with you roaming around, young Artemis."

Artemis frowned, and rolled her eyes." I've gotten over our childish rivalry."

Chiron cleared his throat." My, it has been a while since we've all seen each other. But perhaps we can save the visiting and reminiscing for another time?"

Nayru nodded." Sharp as always Chiron. He is right."

She knelt down, and looked the sitting Link in the eyes.

" Link, you have a destiny. Soon a great evil will rise, an evil that you've fought many times before in past iterations. You hold a great spirit inside you. The Spirit of the Hero. However, you aren't just a mortal with the spirit like the great heros before you. You have the divine blood of a goddess running through your veins. Your mother accidently mated with a descendant of the great heros. Her godly blood awoke the spirit within you, and once your father passed, you gained full control over it."

Link's head was spinning. Greek mythology was one thing, but this was completely new. He'd never even heard of the Spirit of the Hero.

Except he has.

' You know Link, you have a lot of trouble giving up. You want to help. It's kinda your thing. You've got good spirit. The spirit of a hero.'

He didn't remember it well, but a memory came to him. A familiar voice. He scrunched his face in confusion. The strange memory was fading. Nayru noticed this, and nodded.

" Soon you'll have the skills and memories of all the great heros. Although, not fast enough to have before The Demon King rises."

She stood up." Before I leave, I'm also here to issue a quest. That is how you Greeks do it, yes? No one just goes to help, you sit and wait for a prophecy?"

Apollo blushed and sunk a little in his chair. She smirked.

" Well here. A prophecy."

She cleared her throat.

" Go find Master Sword. Use to defeat Demon King. Go and save the world."

Percy snorted, and under his breath whispered to Annabeth." She's better at haikus than Apollo, that's for sure."

She gave him a sharp kick to the shin, and he gave a yelp of pain. Now, Apollo looked absolutely embarassed. She blew the sun god a kiss, and disappeared in a blue crystal. Artemis looked back and forth between the two.

" You two weren't a-"

The sun god held up a hand." Not the time, not the place."

Chiron looked at Link." Well, I suppose that constitutes as a prophecy? This is all very unconventional. Percy, Annabeth, will you accompany young Link on his quest?"

The frowned, and then looked around sheepishly. Annabeth spoke up first.

" Uh, actually...we kinda agreed to go help my cousin Magnus."

Chiron frowned." Oh. Well, then that means we're doing it the other way. Link, go pick a couple of people for your quest. Three is a good number, so two more members ought to do."

Link was way too distracted to accurately pay attention to Chiron's words. Demon King? Master Sword? Love affairs between Apollo and Nayru? He shook his head. Okay maybe not that last one. But one thing was on his mind mainly.

" How am I going to have any idea where the Master Sword is?!

AAAAAAAAND THAT'S A WRAP! Uh, I don't know if anyone noticed, but in this world, the Magnus Chase series is going on, but the Trails of Apollo never happened. (Mostly because I forgot about them.) Anyways, that's besides the point. What?! Nayru? So the Hylian goddesses are real. And perhaps (for sure) there are more on the way? Also, they know the Greek gods personally? Weird right? I hope you enjoyed this chapter, If you are curious to see what happens next, follow the story, and leave a review please! All of them are very much worth it! Have a wonderful whatever time of day, and as always...

See You On The Flip-Side~Nick Write
