November 1st

Percy POV

Brinnnnnng Brinnnnng Brinnnnng...

I silenced my alarm clock and sat up. I stretched my arms above my head and yawned. I hadn't slept well. I was far too nervous. I glanced at the calendar on my wall, today was the day. November 1st was circled in bright red.

I had been dreading the date for the past two weeks. The after effects of the war with Gaia had finally settled down. For the first time in history, the Roman and the Greek demigods were at peace. Now that a few months had passed, the gods had summoned the surviving members of our quest. I was very nervous and I didn't know what to expect. I rubbed my eyes and looked around my cabin.

Cabin three had always served to calm me. The Poseidon cabin was as much my home as the apartment I shared with my mom.

I smiled as I thought of my mother. Sally Jackson was in my opinion, the greatest mom in the world. She had dropped Annabeth and me off at camp yesterday evening. The other five remaining members and I were going to drive to Olympus together.

I quickly showered and grabbed some clothes. I was wondering if I was supposed to dress up for an audience with the gods. I had met them before but I never knew what would set them off. I shrugged and decided that I didn't really care. I tossed on jeans and an orange camp half blood shirt and left my cabin.

I entered the dinning pavilion and saw my friend sitting at their respective tables. Even after everything that we had been through, we still were not allowed to sit together. I grabbed some food and smiled at my girlfriend, Annabeth. She was sitting at the Athena table talking to one of her brothers. She gave me a smile as I burnt some food to my father and went to sit down.

I absolutely loved Camp Half-Blood. I looked around as I ate my blue waffles. It was strange to think that after next summer I wouldn't be coming back. Annabeth and I had decided to finish our high school in New York before we moved to Camp Jupiter for collage. My mom had allowed Annabeth to move into our spare bedroom and we had already started our last year at Goode High School.

Annabeth was worse than Paul. My mom was married to Paul Blofis, one of my professors. I had never been able to lie about what I had for homework because Paul knew my teachers. Now that Annabeth went to school with me, she knew when I had tests and insisted that I study for every one of them. I had spent more time on school work over the last two months than I had in the last two years. In fairness, I had spent eight months of my last school year in a forced slumber thanks to Hera.

I finished eating and made my way over to Half-Blood hill. I was the last one to arrive. Jason and Piper were holding hands and Hazel and Frank smiled at me as I went to stand next to Annabeth. The beautiful blond haired, gray eyed, daughter of Athena smiled at me and took my hand. The six of us walked down the hill to the van waiting on the road. I gave a smile to Argus and got into the back seat while Annabeth called shotgun. Argus got into the driver's seat and we were off.

ΩΩΩ

Argus stayed in the car as the six of us got out in front of the Empire State Building. I shook my head as I looked up at the building before me. No matter how many time I had been here it always made me laugh to know that Olympus was hovering above it, invisible to the mortals around us thanks to the mist. It was rather amazing what the mist could do.

Annabeth and I led the way to the security station. Annabeth smiled and caught the guard's attention. "Can we get the pass to go up to the 600th floor please?"

I had expected him to deny that there was a 600th floor like they always did but he immediately stood up and gave us the pass. "Here you are; I'm sure the two of you know what to do." I nodded and was about to walk away when he called out. "By the way, thank you."

I looked back at him and smiled. His reaction made me wonder who else knew who we were. I lead our group over to the bank of elevators and waited until we could have one to ourselves. I slip the card into the slot and the button for the 600th floor appeared. I pressed it and leaned back against the wall, residing myself to about ten minutes of elevator music.

Jason looked amazed. "I can't believe that Olympus is really on top of the Empire State Building. What does it look like?"

I felt my eyes widen as I looked at the golden boy. "You've never been to Olympus?"

The son of Jupiter shook his head. "No Roman has been asked to come to Olympus in the last 300 years."

I felt my jaw drop in shock, "Really? None of you have ever been here?"

Frank, Piper, and Jason nodded in agreement. Hazel tipped her head and looked at me curiously, "How many times have you been here exactly?"

I glanced at Annabeth and shrugged. "I don't know, quite a few. Not as many as times as Annabeth of course. She was in charge of redesigning Olympus after the second titan war."

Piper's eyes widened at the daughter of Athena, "Really? I thought that you were kidding when you told me you designed Olympus."

Annabeth blushed and smiled at our friends, "No. There was a lot of damage after Kronos' army attacked. The gods know that I love architecture and so they gave me the honor of redesigning all of the damaged buildings."

The looks on our friends faces made me look at my girlfriend with pride. Annabeth was amazing, how many people could truthfully say that they had designed the homes of gods?

The doors dinged open and we stepped out. I couldn't help but laugh at the looks on my friends faces. "I know right?" I shook my head and smiled.

Olympus had always been beautiful but after the changes that Annabeth had made to it, it truly looked like the home of Gods. She had managed to perfectly blend the classical beauty of Greece and Rome with the aspects of modern architecture. I wished I could have told them about what she did but honestly, I left all things involving structural design to my girlfriend.

"Holy Jupiter, Annabeth this is stunning." Jason looked at her and shook his head in wonder. "Remind me to call you when I start building the temples to the minor gods."

Annabeth blushed, "Thank you Jason. But the gods will probably already have someone in mind to help you."

Jason smiled and shrugged, "If they are half as good as you I'm sure Kymopoleia will be very happy with her temple."

Piper smiled and squeezed her boyfriend's hand. "I don't know if they will be that good. Annabeth is amazing."

I laughed and threw my arm around the daughter of Athena. "That she is. Come on guys, trust me when I say, Zeus doesn't like being kept waiting."

It took us a lot longer than I expected to get to the throne room. Annabeth started showing everyone all of her designs and explaining the inspiration for each one. I loved her more than I could put into words but after a few minutes of her talking about load bearing supports and structural integrity, my mind broke. It wasn't up to the task of trying to understand what structural integrity even was. Instead I decided to simply look at the city as we walked.

I smiled as I saw the minor gods and the nymphs. The citizens of Olympus always looked so happy. I was glad that they were able to move on with their lives so easily after the war. Both camps had survived and become stronger for it, but we had lost so many that it was hard for us to move on and forget.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize that we had reached the throne room until the doors were opening for us. Suddenly all of my nerve from the last two weeks came back in full force. What do I do if they want me to become a god? I can't refuse twice; they were furious last time... What if they incinerate me?

I tried to calm my heart but it wasn't working very well. I tried to hide my feelings but I don't think it worked very well. Annabeth reached up and gave me a kiss on the cheek, "For luck."

I blinked in shock and smiled at her. It was amazing just how easily she could erase my stress and nerves. I moved my arm so that we were holding hands and together we walked in to face the gods.

ΩΩΩ

I looked around the room and was surprised to see that Apollo was absent. I hoped that he was just running late. I like Apollo, him, his sister Artemis, and my father were my three favorite gods. I smiled and nodded to the goddess of the hunt on my way to the center of the room. She nodded back to me but seemed upset. I frowned, what could have happened to make the normally strong goddess look so depressed?

I shook the thought out of my mind as I bowed to Zeus and Poseidon. I had learned at the age of twelve that Zeus got mad at you if you bowed to anyone else before him. I usually disregarded it but I didn't want to give the king of the gods any extra reason for wanting to vaporize me. So I bowed to Zeus and then to my father.

Both of the gods seemed surprised by that but neither seemed upset by it. I was glad. I smiled at my father and he winked. I had a feeling he knew exactly what I was worrying about.

The six of us stepped back to the center of the room and waited to be address. I saw Hestia sitting by the fire and I gave her a small bow. She smiled at me and then turned back to the hearth. I was confused by her reaction. Usually she was far happier than that.

I examined the hearth and realized that it was burning lower than it usually did, reflecting the feelings of the gods. I looked around and realized that quite a few of the gods seemed to be oddly serious. Even Aphrodite had an unusually solemn expression.

Before I could stop myself, my mouth started speaking, "What happened?" My friends looked at me with expressions that ranged from confusion to shock.

Annabeth looked at me in bewilderment and quietly whispered to me, "What are you talking about?"

I blushed and looked at the gods. None of them had responded to my question. Artemis seemed to be the one who was most obviously affected so I bowed my head and addressed her specifically, "Lady Artemis, what happened?"

She looked at me and for a moment I was worried that she was going to vaporize me. Then she sighed and gave me a sad smile. "It is nothing that you need to worry about Perseus."

She seemed so upset that I didn't even comment on the use of my full name. I bit my lip and looked around me. I had a feeling that it had to do with the fact that her twin was absent. "Is it about Apollo? Is there anything I can do to help?"

The way Zeus glared at me made me wish that I had kept my mouth shut and the faces of my friends said that they thought the same thing. Artemis however gave me a genuine smile. "It is about my brother but there is nothing that you can do."

I frowned, suddenly worried about one of my favorite gods, "Is he okay?"

I heard someone clear their throat and I turned to see my father giving me a very pointed look. Out the corner of my eye, I saw the fierce look Zeus was giving me. I blushed and decided to drop it.

He smiled at his son, Jason, and addressed all of us. "Now that everyone is paying attention," Zeus gave me one last glare and looked away, "We shall begin."
