It had been a normal day at camp (in other words, the Hermes and Hecate cabins had pranked everyone by tying all the cabin doors together so that no one except them could get in our out unless they went through the windows-which the Hades cabin was very mad about since the guy who built their cabin had choson to be lazy and not bother with windows), and the campers were all stirred up in excitement for the next modern hero's story. Except Hades, of course. They were still upset that they'd had no breakfast and were plotting out ways to get revenge on everyone involved in the prank.
Chiron stepped up once the Apollo kids had finished the singalong. "Alright, campers. I know you are all excited, so let's begin." He offered the bag of names to the Ares cabin head counselor, who took out the name, "Annabeth Chase".
Everyone quited down instantly. They all knew about Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, architect of Olympus, and wife of Percy Jackson.
Chiron began to tell Annabeth's tale. "Annabeth, as many of you know, is one of the greatest modern heroes of our day, with her cousin Magmus being a notable figure in the Norse world, as some of you know. She lived with her father and stepmother in Virginia until she was seven, before running away and formming a trio with Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus, and Luke Castellon, son of Hermes. Stayr Grover Underwood escorted them here to camp, where Thalia was turned into Thalia's Pine Tree while giving her friends time to get into the camp borders-"
"What?" "Then how is she alive?" "That makes no snese!"
Chirn chuckled. "Just keep listening, children. Now, Annabeth met Percy when he was also brought here by Grover at the age of 12. All three-she, Percy, and Grover-went on a quest to retrieve Zeus' master bolt. When she was 13, she, Percy, Tyson the Cyclops (the Poseidon cabin cheered), Grover, and Clarisse La Rue, daughter of Ares, retrieved the Golden Fleece, which revived Thalia's Pine and made Thalia come alive again."
"Ohhhhhhh." Half the camp understood.
"Huh?" THe other half were confused.
Chiron quickly did an overview of Luek's betrayal to the camp, which helped somewhat, before continueing with Annabeth's tale.
"The winter afterwards, Annabeth, Thalia, Grover and Percy traveled up to Maine to pick up two demigods at a military academy. However, while fighting the monster guarding them, Annabeth was captured and sent to California to hold up the sky, freeing Atlas from his burden. Artemis went after her, but ended up taking the burden herself instead. Annabeth was kept as bait to lure the others. As you all may remember from the night we discussed Zoe Nightshade, 5 went on a quest to save the two of them. There are some minor details I have left out, but you will understand when we get to some of our other heroes, one of them a son of Hades." Chiron directed this at the brooding Hades cabin, who suddenly looked much more awake.
"When she was 14," Chiron continued on, "she, Percy, Tyson, Grover, and Rachel, who wasn't the Oracle at that time, ventured into the Labyrinth. And at the end of that came the Battle of the Labyrinth, which was perhaps the first time Kronos actively tried to attack the next year, the Battle of Manhattan, and Annabeth became Architect of Olympus. She and Percy also started dating that same day."
The Aphrodite lot swonned.
"Then there was the Prophecy of Seven, said by Racehl upon becoming Oracle. Annabeth was one of the Seven. Upon arrival in Rome, she ventured to find the Athena Parthenos, defeating Arachne and being succesful in her quest. Unfortunately, Arachne got revenge by pulling both Annabeth and Percy into Tarturus with her. The Athena Parthenos was kept in the Argo II for the time being."
"But they got out alive, right?" someone asked.
"Yes, they did. They also closed the Doors of Death successfully, with the Titans Iaptus, whose memory had been wiped by the Lethe, and Damasen, who was suposed to oppose Ares but had a nature too nice to do so, faught bravely to allow the couple to escape back to the world of the living."
A silence rang through the ampitheatre at this fact, and CHiron allowed it to stay for a while before finishing the tale of Annabeth.
"The Seven were able to defeat the Giants, before coming back and assisting in the final battle against Gaea. She and Percy were the ones to first discover the worlds of the Egyptians and Norse, but afterwards kept a low profile and led a much more normal life, and now resides inManhattan, where she continues to design buildings for Olympus, and I believe she is assisting Poseidon in his own realm as well." Chiron concluded.
A deafening silence, before everyone erupted into smiled and let the campers enjoy raising their voices before dismissing everyone for the night.
