As Chiron stepped back a blond haired blue eyed boy stepped forward, he was about 17 years old and had a nasty scar that ran from his left brow to his chin. "Luke Castellan son of Hermes." Smiling warmly, Hermes looked at his future son, worriedly wondering how he got such a nasty scar.
A boy around 14 stepped forward as Luke stepped back. The boy had brown hair and worried blue eyes that looked uneasily at the Olympians, hidden anger burried inside, "Chris Rodriguez unclaimed."
Two brown haired boys that look very similar around the age of 12 looked on with gleaming mischievous eyes, giving an uneasy feeling amongst the Gods, Goddesses and demigods present except Hermes.
"I'm Travis!"
"And I'm Connor!"
"You are in the presence of the great..."
"And amazing..."
"STOLL BROTHERS! SONS OF HERMES!" They ended their little show with jazz hands as their friends behind them facepalmed. Hermes grinned at his future sons antics, oh how he loved all his sons already.
Many of the Gods and Goddesses were horrified, four of them? Oh Olympus was surely going to fall. "THREE HERMES SPAWNS?!? What is this? Are all of you Hermes?"
"No my Lords. Um hello, I'm Annabeth daughter of Athena." The girl who stepped forward was around 12 years old with curly honey blond hair and piercing, calculating gray eyes. Athena beamed at her daughter, she definitely did look smart if those intelligent gray eyes of hers said anything.
A girl with long stringy hair and murderous brown eyes and vicious sneer upon her face looked around 14 stepped forward, " Clarisse LaRue punks, uh I mean my Lords, daughter of Ares." THUNK. In surprise, every occupant turned where the noise came from only to see a passed out God of war.
"Umm I think we should wake up dad," and with that water appeared above Ares and was dropped.
Spluttering in shock as he looked around the room, his eyes landed on his future daughter...daughter!
"Daughter?! Me? I have a daughter?!" And with that he slumped over on his throne and mumbled under his breath and repeating "Daughter? I have a daughter in the future? Oh my me what if I have DAUGHTERS!"
"Umm I have at least 10 other sisters." Clarisse's exclamation brought the God of war to tears, laughing and smiling like a crazed mad man. The Gods and Goddesses laughed at the God, it was definitely nice seeing the brute like this.
They quietly laughed at Ares as a girl about 12 with brown hair and green eyes that seemed to sway like the greenest fields of grass on a summer day stepped forward with a smile, "Hi I'm Katie Gardner, daughter of Demeter." Demeter looked at her daughter and smiled warmly at her.
"Oh I do hope you eat your grains darling."
Beaming at her mother she responded, "Of course mother, and many fruits as well!" At that Demeter glowed with pride at her future daughter.
As Katie stepped back, a 12 year old blond haired boy with gleaming blue eyes that had a ring of gold around his iris as if it was the very sun. A blinding white smile was placed on his face. "Hello I'm Will Solace, son of Apollo." Apollo at hearing this gave his own blinding smile. Yes the Solace boy was definitely his sun hehe.
A beautiful young girl with long black hair that framed her heart shaped face stepped forward. She had warm gleaming blue eyes and looked around 15 years old. "Hello, I'm Selena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite." Oh finally, one of her children was here, oh she's beautiful. As Aphrodite looked on at her future daughter she started tearing up in pride.
As Selena stepped back during her musings, a buff African American boy around 16 stepped in place of Selena, he had strong, warm brown eyes and black hair, "I'm Charles Bekandorf but you can call me Beckendorf, son of Hephaestus." Looking at his son he nodded, the boy definitely looked like his.
As Charles stepped back towards the group, a light grew in the middle of the room. The light seemed to radiate sadness and it wasn't as bright like the other lights before. When the light disappeared it left two groups.
The first group contained 4 demigods that looked around in confusion and looked at the second group that came with them in worry. The second group contained 11 demigods, a satyr, and a much older, very sad looking Chiron. The group didn't look to be all well, as most were crying and seemed depressed. A young woman who had a very striking resemblance to the young Annabeth, was crying as she looked at a photograph in her hands. 8 demigods, the satyr and Chiron all had some kind of contact with the young woman trying to comfort her while 3 demigods stood looking at her in sadness.
The older Annabeth seemed much to thin. Her too pale skin stretched over her body that was engulfed in a way too large sweatshirt that read AHS SWIM TEAM. Her eyes were red and puffy as more tears escaped her pain filled gray eyes. Athena looked on at her future daughter in confusion and worry. The past demigods looked between the older Annabeth and their own Annabeth in worry.
The older Chiron was kneeling behind older Annabeth and was stroking her head trying to console her but wasn't fairing much better. This Chiron looked like he had been crying as there was evidence of tear streaks.
A young woman with short choppy black hair who wore a hunters outfit kept a comforting hand on the older Annabeth's right shoulder. Her electric blue eyes silently shed tears as she too looked at the photo.
A pale skinned, shaggy black haired teen sat on older Annabeth's left side and kept a comforting hand on her left shoulder. His onyx eyes closed in pain and looked away from the picture.
The satyr kept a consoling hand on the pale boys shoulder and another on older Annabeth's arm. He too looked at the picture and his face crumbled as his body shook from the amount of force his sobs raked his body.
The girl that sat next to the satyr gave him a side hug as her other hand kept holding on to older Annabeth's arm. Her brown hair draped over her face as she looked at her lap as her body shook, little whimpers coming from her. She hid her face on the young mans shoulder that sat next to her who her rubbed back and kissed the top of her head as he laid a hand on older Annabeth's left knee.
The other young man on older Annabeth's right looked similar like to the other young man. He laid one hand on older Annabeth's right knee while he squeezed his look alike's shoulder.
A blond haired boy squeezed older Annabeth's right arm, his blue eyes were clouded by unshed tears.
A young man with dark brown hair kept a comforting hand on older Annabeth's arm and looked sadly at the girl next to him as he held her hand and kissed her temple.
The girl looked strong and had stringy brown hair who kept a hand on Thalia's shoulder as she rubbed older Annabeth's back. "Don't worry Annabeth, we'll find him and I'll make sure he regrets ever being kidnapped."
"Yeah Annie, Kelp head will be sorry for leaving us."
Older Annabeth chocked out a sob as she laid her head on the young woman's shoulder, "It's not his fault Thal's."
Thal's looked down at the picture sadly as she too sobbed.
The 3 demigods who stood to the side consisted of two boys and a girl.
The girl had choppy chocolate brown hair, an eagle feather tied to the end of a braid as her kaleidoscopic eyes looked at the saddened group in worry.
The boy standing in the middle stood at 6'1, the light glinted off of his blond hair and his electric blue eyes shone in worry.
An elfish, curly, brown haired boy stood on the other side of the blond. Although he was also looking at the group in worry, his hands were tinkering with something.
The Olympians looked at the group worriedly and wondered what could have caused such emotions. Zeus's awkwardly coughed to get their attention, "Children, Chiron..."
They looked up at the Olympians and around the room in confusion. This Olympus looked way different then the one they were used to, it was like the past Olympus. They also saw familiar faces of those who should not have been alive nor should they have looked that young. The group stood up as they slowly helped older Annabeth up, she didn't seem to be quite there as she kept looking at the picture and slowly stroked the picture, crying softly.
Luke was so confused. There she was...he believed that he would never see her ever again. And that young woman who looked so much like his little Annie he just knew it had to be her. She looked to be in so much pain— both of his girls did. He stepped forward and reached out a comforting hand out to them, "Thalia...Annabeth..."
Luke didn't get to reach them before the two identical boys, who looked very much like his own two identical brothers, stepped forward protectively in front of Thalia and Annabeth. Annabeth now seemed to snap back to reality as she and Thalia stumbled back in horror and shock to see a familiar face.
"Step back Luke." The boy looked very much like Travis except of course he no longer looked 12 rather he looked to be 16. But the biggest difference between his younger, mischievous, happy go lucky brother, this Travis was glaring at him so harshly and his tone sent shivers down his spin he took a step back. This Travis was riddled with scars and his eyes had lost that joy he was used to. Now that he looked closely he could see that everyone in the group had their own scars and cold, pain filled eyes.
Getting over their shock, the rest of the group had also stepped forward and they too stepped in front of the two girls and glared at him, except for 3 demigods who looked at Luke in confusion.
Luke looked at all of them in confusion and anger, what had happened? Annabeth was the daughter of Athena and knew each of the new comers, they were her friends but older, they knew Luke so why were they glaring at him so harshly?
Zeus again coughed to get everyone's attention, he addressed the older Chiron "Chiron, you and the children are brought here in the past by the Fates to read some books of a demigod. There are three groups, the first are 6 years from your past as you can see. You and the children are the second group while the third group is their future children." Zeus looked at this Chiron worriedly. What could have caused such emotions? Chiron was always sad when one of his charge died of course but he was never like this. This was the first time any Olympians have seen Chiron so depressed and saddened.
The new group looked at each other in astonishment and confusion. Of course they wanted to see their future children and all but they had to get back. They had to keep looking for Percy.
Seeing the looks Chiron too felt the same way, he had to find Percy, he just had to. "Brother please, we need to get back." Chiron looked at the Olympians so desperately and looked as if he was going to cry just like the children behind him did. The Olympians and the past demigods looked at him and their future selfs in shock and worry. As Hestia was about to step forward, the Fates appeared before them again. Older Annabeth rushed forward, grabbing on to their robs crying, and all but begged to be brought back. Athena walked up to her daughter and dragged her from the Fates, silently shedding tears to see her daughter in such pain. Athena hugged her tighter as the others looked at older Annabeth in sadness.
