I'm backkkkk ;) So here's chapter 3, I hope you like it, it's sort of a filler, just to start establishing the world, and the people in it. And I finally learned how to post new chapters! So enough blabber, on to the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO or HOO

Percy POV (Won't always be though ;)

As I hop around getting dressed, I let the dream replay in my mind. I can't help smiling when I remember the first time I met Delirium. In the past 100 years she had really helped me out. From introducing me to the culture, to showing me her friends, she even helped me out with my nightmares, well, Delirium and the gang. I mentally review all my friends, no scratch that, family that I had made here.

1) Delirium, daughter of Chaos and on/off lieutenant of the Chaos army (depending on her dad's mood.)

2) Zackary, son of Chaos, Delirium's twin, and second in command of the Chaos army.

3) Oliver and Kirsten, son and daughter of Order, co-commanders of the Protectors of Order, Oliver's older by 2 minutes .

4) Artemis, daughter of Bob the titan and lieutenant of the Protectors of Order.

5) Tatiana, daughter of Nyx and member of the council and officer of the Chaos army.

6) Ray, son of Erebus and second in command of the Protectors of Order…. I'm still going through my list when I trip and fall, landing on the plush blue carpet, and right at Delirium's feet. I look up to find her stifling a laugh, and I smile. I stand and we walk out, joking all the way.

We start to walk down a hallway and Delirium playfully nudges me. I nudge back and soon we lose control and she pushes me around the bend. I laugh and double back, and notice that Delirium is speaking to a well dressed man in an expensive suit, playful demour forgotten. I walk over and open my mouth to speak when the man turns to me, a stern expression on his face. I groan mentally, it's , one of Order's advisers, and he's very, very, strict. He looks at me with an eyebrow cocked. When I don't move he mouths something to me. I go red in the face, and quickly hid it by bowing low and straightening myself. nods at me approvingly but Delirium's face falls. She moves to say something but I stop her with a quick and sharp glance that thankfully, doesn't notice. But Delirium still sends me a look like I'll kill you later. I pray to Chaos that this awkward moment will be over soon and luckily enough it does. quickly stats the there's 'A very important meeting' he's late for and for Delirium to 'remember what he said'. Then with a quick bow, he leaves. Delirium waits until 's footprints fade away and then she jumps into action.

"Come," she orders dragging me away.

If Delirium hadn't been trying to kill me, the garden would have been a nice place to sit and talk. There were your usual plants of course, roses, lilies, tulips, and a whole bunch of others. But then there were plants that were brought from other planets that Chaos and Order had made. For example, the electric bolt, native to the planet Jupiter. An electric blue flower similar to Jason's and Thalia's eyes, it had the ability to light up 6 lightbulbs with a single petal, if you knew how to use it. The firestar, native to a small uncharted dwarf planet and no bigger than my thumb, had the power to burn half of New York if you light it with a match.

Man, Katie would go nuts in a place like this! Then I wince, where did that thought come from? I can't start thinking about….that place, after all these years. I just can't! I shake myself from my thoughts and sink down onto a marble bench, Delirium sat next time.

"Why did you bow to me in the hallway? You know I hate formalities. And those dumb social rules"

"You might, but does not. His a member of the high council, and Order's advisor. So he loves to enforce the rules. One of them being that you have to bow to a person of higher rank. I don't have to bow to because were the same rank, just in different jobs, but you are of higher rank so I must bow before you Princess." I smile cheekily and finished with a mock bow towards Delirium.

"Well….I may be a princess but….on the battlefield you're my commanding officer. So it is I who must bow to you." Then she smiled cheekily and bowed to me. Then our eyes locked then our eyes locked and we had a face off. Delirium broke first, letting a soft giggle escape from her mouth, and suddenly we were both clutching our sides in laughter. "By the way Percy, serious does soo not look good on you," Delirium laughed again. Suddenly a sharp BONG sounded through the garden, reminding us that a Low council meeting was about to start. As we got up to flash into the meeting room I decided to ask Delirium the same question I asked before every meeting.

"Which council are you sitting with today?" Delirium sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Percy, I'll sit with the Low council, like I always do. I only sit with the High council for important matters of state, when I'm expected to be the 'sweet as honey, smart as Athena' princess. For war or other issues I'm your lieutenant."

"My lieutenant," I murmured, "I like the sound of that."

Okay, before you kill me because this chapter was just meh, please hear me out. I recently got some feedback to slow down my story a bit (thank you yellow-greenorchid0925, for that good piece of feedback!) so this chapter is just a filler, the next chapter….well, let's just say that this council meeting is going to end in fireworks.
