A/N: someone asked if I could post an update schedule for this story, so here you go. I really don't have any set days for updates, but I do try to get at least one or two chapters out a week. Sometimes more if i'm motivated. Now that that's out of the way, back to the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything.

Percy pov

I dreamt I was in a forest, covered with a few feet of snow. The tree's towered above me, taller than any other tree I had ever seen.

Looking around, I saw an old path, barely visible in the snow. Not having any where else to go, i decided to follow it. After walking for a while, the path led me to the bottom of a hill.

Mountains were in the background. I felt drawn to them, as if they were welcoming me home.

Making my way up the hill, I started to hear noises, people were talking and laughing. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but something told me it was important.

So I ran.

Up the hill as fast as I could. Just before i reached the top, my dream shifted. Now I was standing on a bridge, in front of me stood a whole army of warriors ready to kill me.

But for some reason, I didn't feel afraid. In fact, I felt an insane feeling of excitement. These men were not going to cross the bridge as long as I still lived.

After all, I had to give my wife the chance to escape. "Wait a minute," I thought to myself, "where'd that come from." then my dream shifted again, not allowing me anytime to think about what just happened.

Lastly I found myself standing on a rocky surface, overlooking a vast amount of water. A salty breeze blew around me, filling my nose with it's scent. It reminded me of the times that my mom had taken me out fishing, in our little dinghy.

We would row out to the middle of the lake or river we had chosen that day, and spend the entire day out there. When we weren't complaining about the lack of fish, we would talk about pretty much anything. One day, I asked her where the rest of our family was, and why they didn't visit us.

She laughed. When she finished she had a far away look in her eyes.

"The north Percy," she said dreamily. "The north is where our family is. It is the only true home for people like us."

When I asked her what she meant by that, she just laughed again, promising to tell me when I got older.

I was interrupted from my memory by two appearing in front of me, as if by magic. I couldn't make out their faces, but I was just able to make out some of their conversation.

"So, the deed is done?" asked the man on the right. His voice sounded like something out of a nightmare.

"Yes my lord." replied the other man. His voice was more human like then his counterpart.

"Good," said the first man. His form seemed to flicker, turning transparent for half a second before becoming solid again.

"Soon, I shall rise again. And take a real form, then I shall,"

His maniacal tirade was cut off. As I woke up in a cold sweat.

As I sat up, I tried to rub the sand out of my eyes. But as soon as I tried to lift my left arm it exploded with pain. Gritting my teeth, I looked down to discover my entire chest and left arm were wrapped with bandages.

Looking up I saw that I was in a hospital bed. But I wasn't in a regular hospital, instead I was in what looked like the interior of a log cabin.

The walls were lined with shelves upon shelves of books. Some of the labels read, heart surgery for dummies or how to treat seeping head wounds 101.

The door to the cabin opened, revealing a kid around my age with blonde hair and blue eyes. He wore a doctors lab coat and had a stethoscope hanging on his neck.

He ran over when he noticed me awake.

"Holy shit dude!" he exclaimed, "how are you feeling?"

"Like shit." I replied groggily, "what happened?"

"Your lucky to be alive," he responded, as he examined my bandages, "that much poison should have killed you."

"Poison?" I said, confused.

Then everything came back to me. The encounter at the dance, Thorn turning into some kind of monster and holding Nico and Bianca hostage, and me charging him with a sword.

"Where's Bianca?" I asked worriedly. gripping his arm with my right hand, " is she alright?"

He quickly removed his arm from my grip, uttering a sigh of relief as the pressure was removed from his arm.

"She's fine. A little shaken up, but fine. I had to get Nico to keep her away from you, so I could work.' he explained.

I tried to get up, but found it difficult with only one arm.

"Here, let me help." he said. Putting my good arm over his shoulder, and helping me to my feet.

Once on my feet, I rotated my left shoulder. Trying to get the stiffness out.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," the doctor cautioned, " I did a pretty good job at stitching the wounds but it might take some time to heal."

"Thanks," I said earnestly, sticking out my hand.

"Name's Percy."

We shook hands,

"My name's Will. I'm a son of Apollo."

"Apollo?" I asked, "like the Sun God?"

"The one and only.' Will replied.

"But isn't he a myth, from like a million years ago?"

Will just laughed.

"No Percy. The greek gods are alive and kicking, they followed the sphere of western influence, all the way from ancient Greece to here. The Empire State building to be exact."

Before I could ask more questions. Will had opened the door and walked out, calling back to me as he did so.

"Come on Percy. Bianca and Nico are at the dining pavilion eating lunch, they'll be excited to see you."

All thought of greek gods want out the window. I felt like I hadn't eaten in weeks, and the the presences of Bianca and Nico, added an extra incentive.

I quickly ran after will as best I could.

At the dining pavilion

I only had time to register two voices screaming, "PERCY." before i was tackled to the ground in a bear hug.

"I thought you were going to die and leave me." said Bianca, burying her head into the left side of my chest.

"Yeah." agreed Nico, standing in front of me.

"I thought you were going to leave me alone to deal with her."

Bianca released me from her iron grip. Getting up and smacking her brother upside the head.

"Don't even joke about it Nico. I don't know what I would have done if-if." she couldn't finish the sentence. Her eyes looked like they were close to tears.

I got up hastily and enveloped her in a hug, whispering reassuringly in her ear.

"Hey, you know wasn't going anywhere right? Besides it's going to take bit more than a few puncture wounds to take me out."

She pushed herself out of the hug. Her eyes were still teary, but now a look of happiness replaced the sad look she had before.

Now that she was taken care of, I went over to Nico and gave him a bro hug.

We sat down at a table filled with a bunch of kids, of all different ages. That's when I noticed everybody was staring at me.

Hearing a few wolf whistles from another table, where a bunch of fashionably dressed boys and girls sat. I looked down and realized that other than the pair of dress pants I had worn to the dance, I was only wearing bandages.

This left some of my, admittedly well muscled body exposed for all to see.

The extra attention didn't bother me though. I was just happy to be reunited with the two of the most important people in my life.

After lunch

After I had gotten over the fact that all the food was delivered by invisible wind spirits. I actually had a nice meal, eating an assortment of foods, ranging from pizza to just about anything else that would make your heart explode.

After everyone finished eating. A pot bellied man in a spotted shirt stood up from his seat at the head table.

"I have an announcement to make." the whole pavilion went silent.

"We have a new camper has decided to join us," judging from his bored tone, he could care less about anything, let alone a new camper.

"Please welcome, Peter Johnson."

"Um, Mr. D," said a man beside him. He had a friendly face, with a salt and pepper beard.

"I believe you mean, Percy Jackson."

"Whatever you say Chiron," replied Mr. D, still in the same bored tone.

"He's your problem now." and with that, Mr. D disappeared in a puff of smoke. Leaving me staring, stunned, at the place he had just been.

After dismissing the rest of the campers. Chiron called to me.

"Percy. Would you please follow me to the big house, there are some things we must discuss."

I said goodbye to Bianca and Nico, apparently they were going to attempt the Lava wall, whatever that was. And followed Chiron to the big house, which was a big farm building with a wrap around deck.

Hours later

I left the house, trying to wrap my head around what I had just learned.

Apparently what Will had said earlier was right. The greek Gods were still alive. They still had kids with regular mortals, those kids were called half bloods or demigods depending on your preference.

Eventually those kids would find there way here, to Camp Half Blood where Chiron. Like the actual Chirom from the old myths, would train to be modern day greek heros. Going on quests and killing monsters.

It was too much for me to digest all at once. I decided against going to the Hermes cabin, where all the unclaimed demigods were put, until their godly parent decided to claim them. (They sounded a lot like a mortal dead beat parent, not some all powerful beings that could destroy me without a second thought.)

No I wasn't going there. Instead I decided to try and find Bianca, we hadn't had the chance to talk properly at lunch. And I had the feeling that there was going to be a lot of talking the next time I saw her.

A/N: there you go another update. Yes it's mostly filler, but at least you got a little glimpse at what is to come. Perhaps even in a sequel? But that's all I can say for now regarding that. The next chapter should have some action in it. Maybe even a little revenge on our "friend" Shane, but we shall see, after all I am yet to start writing the next chapter. So until then make sure to review and have a nice day.

Peace.
