You guys may or may not be excited for getting to know the rest of the secrets, but I am HYPED up about regaling them! And just so you know, this chapter does not consist of all the hidden secrets. Only, like, one-fifth (cackles evilly).

Alex threaded her fingers together as she told Percy what her life had been like.

"You were born first," Alex said; her voice uncharacteristically soft. "Poseidon was there. He wanted to take you, but our birth mother loved you so much, he couldn't bear to rob her of her happiness."

Percy frowned. "Why did he want to take any of us?"

"Same principle as in the separation of Jason and Thalia Grace. No, it wasn't that I was Roman or something, but we were Big Three material. It was too dangerous, too risky, to keep us together, in one place. And…" she hesitated, remembering the conversation she's eavesdropped on. "There was something about a myth, a legend coming true."

Her brother's sea green eyes widened in realization. "The prophecy."

She shrugged helplessly. "Maybe so. But anyway, when I came, Poseidon took me and wiped or biological mother's memory of me." Her voice turned bitter. "I wasn't so loved. But he needed help o hide a demigod as powerful as a child of the eldest gods. But he needed someone who was smart enough to listen to his reasoning, and yet wouldn't draw suspicion."

"He called a god."

Alex nodded. "Two, in fact. Hecate, to hide me in the depths of her Mist, and an unlikely ally."

Percy raised his eyebrows in question.

"Athena."

His eyebrows shot up.

"As she was a sworn rival of our father, she was not to be suspected of aiding him. But she realized the seriousness of the situation, and figured, because of the First Great Prophecy, that if she raised a 'half blood of the eldest gods' herself, she could compel the hero to make the decision to save Olympus. She wanted me to be the child of the prophecy."

He grunted. "So that's why she seemed to be s eager to get rid of me. So that she could use you to manipulate the prophecy herself."

His twin sister gave him an apologetic smile. "She took me to the Tritonian nymphs, and trained me from birth in the same way Athena herself was, and treated me like her own child. She taught me the art of all kinds of weapons, how to behave in any situation, how to attack and defend. She wanted me to be perfect. I was taught to converse in sixteen different languages, millions of myths and legends, and not just Greek and Roman ones."

Percy laughed darkly. "She wanted you to be an honest to Zeus Mary Sue."

She sighed. Unfortunately, it was true. "Norse. Egyptian. Chinese. Cherokee, even. I wasn't allowed to even eat fried food."

His eyes widened. "So, you've never had…"

"A cheeseburger? No."

He winced, like it hurt him. "Remind me to take you to McHale's sometime."

She grinned. "Sure. So, they appointed me as an assassin, to kill rogue demigods or basically anyone who they needed to…terminate. I was kept hidden from everyone but the nymphs, our father, my stepmother and Hecate. Even when she was against the gods in the Titan War, she kept me a secret because she understood the consequences of not doing so. Because of the prophecy, I guess. A stirring of ancient powers."

Percy nodded, indicating that he was still with her. "Okay."

"I killed a bunch of demigod, too." Her tone turned sad and regretful. "Some monsters got to know of my presence. I don't know how. Some almost killed me. Athena used that to her advantage by entering me as a chess piece spy into Kronos's ranks. I was pretty close to being Luke Castellan's second in command until you blew up Hephaestus's forges. I had to run before they could sense the sea in my blood as it was in yours."

Percy nodded, a little curious as shown by his expression. "Whom did you kill?"

She shook her head guardedly. "I shouldn't say. It will hurt you, and go against my stepmother's instructions."

He nodded, still looking unconvinced. "I understand Athena's idea of training you. But she does love you, right?"

Alex's shoulders tensed. "It is…a competitive sort of love."

The raven haired demigod opposite her frowned. "What?"

"As rivals, Poseidon and Athena wanted to be better than each other at everything. Unluckily for me, it included being adored by me." She pressed her lips together as she twirled a strand of her dark hair. "They love me only to beat each other at earning my favoritism. I was never truly loved as a daughter, only as a prize."

She felt Percy's penetrating gaze on her as she lifted her head. She frowned at his soft expression. "What?"

"Nothing." He smiled softly at her. "Just to say that you will be loved now. As a sister."

Alex blinked in surprise, but before she could say anything, Percy lifted his head and looked behind her. "We're at the docks." He said.

They exited the canoe, leaving it tied at the shore. Percy nodded at her and turned around, already moving to the breakfast pavilion.

Alex didn't hesitate this time as she followed him there.

Line Break

Nico di Angelo stared at the new girls the young satyr had guided to camp as they sat uncomfortably next to Chiron, apparently uneasy. One of them was tall and strong, built like a soccer player with muscular yet slim arms. Her hair was a fiery red, her skin pale but healthy.

It was her eyes that intrigued him the most. They were amethyst and blue, like someone had taken glass shards of the two colors and mixed them together, equal parts of both in her eyes, yet spread across on fragments.

The other was a little shorter than her, maybe two inches or so. She was lithe and graceful, her long auburn hair tied back in a casual ponytail, yet her posture was erect and guarded, which reminded him a little bit of Reyna, who was by now his established sister-in-arms.

Her eyes were as breathtaking as her friend's. They were a beautiful silvery yellow, like ash, or moonlight sparking off a blade. Something about her seemed extremely familiar to Nico, yet he couldn't pinpoint what it was. The line of her posture was eerily similar to that of a leopard's, graceful yet dangerous.

When the demigods' breakfast was eaten and most of the chattering had died down, Chiron rose to horse form and addressed the campers.

"As most of you know, Dave Cedar, pass-bearing protector," he gestured to a blond, curly haired satyr next to him. "has guided two new demigods to camp as of yesterday night. I wish to introduce to you the new unclaimed campers, whom I wish you will treat as fellow demigods, Andronika Cade," Chiron said as the red haired girl stood up, "and-"

The auburn haired girl cut him off with a wave. Nico raised his eyebrows. It was not common to interrupt a three thousand year old centaur, trainer of heroes, especially when you were a newbie. Chiron seemed to have the same thoughts running through his mind as he looked at her with his expression questioning.

"I think redhead Andy there is an Ares," Will whispered to him from beside him. "She seems cruel."

Nico gave him a wry smile. "Well, at least she isn't power packed with muscles. She could be Athena."

The blond boy shook his head. "She's not blond or gray-eyed. I say Ares or Demeter. You know the nature friendly aura."

Nico smirked at him. "My bet is on Hermes or Hecate."

The son of Apollo snickered under his breath. "You're on."

The dark haired demigod smiled and turned his attention back to the auburn haired girl. She seemed to be whispering something to Chiron. He frowned, but gave her a curt nod as if consenting to something. The girl smiled and got up. "My name," she said. "Is Celena. Celena Natasha Kyle." She looked at the centaur, as if probing him with her eyes.

He exhaled. "She wishes to stay with the satyrs and be allowed to be without a counselor." Chiron's eyes held discomfort as he spoke. "And I ask the Hermes cabin's head counselor to escort Andronika to their cabin."

Will looked at his boyfriend with a quizzical look. Nico shrugged and turned his eyes back to the interesting new Miss Celena Kyle as she smiled at her friend, and let her eyes rake the crowd.

Her silvery eyes stopped on Nico's, and he could almost feel the intensity and weight of her sharp gaze. Her eyes held his for a moment before a small smile curved her lips and she looked away.

The son of Hades swallowed. He turned back to Will and nudged him as the blond turned to him, grinning at a joke his cabin mate had probably made. He raised his gold eyebrows, blue eyes probing black ones as he frowned. What's wrong? He mouthed.

Nico shook his head to fight down his growing unease as he involuntarily glanced at the Poseidon table, where Percy and Alex were talking quietly, occasionally passing each other witty remarks or humorous comments, Alex seeming more at ease and at home and the half siblings seeming even closer. Something must have happened, Nico thought as he turned his gaze to the only blonds Athena table, where two girls discussed something animatedly, seemingly engage in war plans or strategy discussion for Capture the Flag.

Their head counselor, however, did not seem interested. He sat thoughtfully in his place, his gray eyes occasionally wandering to the Poseidon table as he looked at the green eyed daughter of the sea god, something obviously on his mind. Nico smiled mentally. He didn't have to be a child of Aphrodite to know that something was going on.

Speaking of children of Aphrodite. Adonis Lane studied a silver arrowhead as he sat silently in his place, the other Cabin 10 members gossiping away. His red eyes caught Nico's gaze, and he gave him a razor sharp smile, like a knife blade, before turning his attention back to the arrowhead.

Nico mentally admitted that the white-haired son of Eros was intimidating as he noticed another pair of eyes on him. He looked at Celena Natasha Kyle's silvery yellow eyes as they burned into his black ones, when she blinked and what Nico saw made him take in a sharp breath.

He sharply turned away as his heart thudded against his rib cage. Her eyes…her eyes.

When she blinked, Nico could've sworn they changed color.

One moment he was looking into silver irises.

Another moment they were black as pitch, dark as the folds of his father's helm.

Dark as his own.

So there you go! Who do you think is Andronika's or Celena's godly parent? Especially Celena. Do you think hers is Hades? Gasp! Who could it be? Leave your opinion in the reviews, and if someone guesses correctly I'll PM them a secret.

Gods, I can be such a drama queen sometimes.

But please, please review! You guys make me so happy when you do.
