Chapter 2:

I receive advice from an old movie projector

I opened my eyes and stood in less than a second. A girl sitting near me jumped a bit at my sudden movement.

I was lying on a bed in the infirmary, what am I doing here?

I started remembering the last events, but my night encounter with that flaming eyes girl in the beach was all I could remember. Hestia.

The last Olympian? What did that mean? I'm sure I knew that before, but ... well now I don't know anything, not even my last name. And the only reason I know my name is because this

Hestia girl.

Wait. Referring to her like that is disrespectful. Disrespectful? What? Why should he be respectful to her? But then why did he felt that respect and feeling that he should be respectful? Gods

I'm gonna go nuts!

Wait again. Gods? What the heck? Okay that is weird for everybody, but to him it felt obvious and kinda familiar, like the sea. Ahh! Headache again... I better think of something else.

And what about that dream? Grover and Annabeth, I knew them before, all I could tell. And they were worried about me. I have to think about that later.

Back in the infirmary, the girl on the chair was looking at me with a weird stare.

"who are you?" she shoot at the moment she saw she had my attention.

"Percy. Where am I?" I said, wishing that she wouldn't ask anything else.

"The infirmary. Any last name?"

"not that I remember. And I had kinda deduced that, so where am I?"

She didn't answer at thirst; she just stared at me, like she was looking for something. Then she reached at my night table and took a glass with a gold drink on it.

" drink it"

I did as she told me. The drink tasted like homemade cookies. Blue cookies. Where did that blue thing came from? It was great although the hole thing gave me a feeling of familiarity that

made my head hurt again.

"So... you gonna answer me?" I said as soon as I ended drinking and put the glass back on the night table.

"Roman camp. In the legionaries section"

"wait. What?"

"Already told you, roman camp in the legionaries section"

" yeah I got that, but... what is that?"

"Do you know anything about the gods?"

Nope and don't know anything about myself either, I thought.

"No"

"okay... just wait a minute here" she stood and went out of the room.

"Weine, I need an orientation film. New kid" she said.

" now? I just got to chapter 47 and I really want to know what it is about" a guy, I suppose Weine, responded.

"you will have to find out later" she said and after a few seconds I heard her say "now"

" ughhh Reyn I swear someday I will choke you! You have to be SO annoying?"

"its my job smarty"

they came in, the guy I'm guessing that was Weine, was a little short with brown hair and grey eyes, his face was examining me like I was some kind of experiment or something... weird. But

still kind of familiar. headache again, this is becoming annoying.

" hi I'm Weine, son of Minerva, but I guess you don't know what that means" he said looking at me in a funny way, like he knew something major that I was completely unaware of. I was

completely sure he was right.

"Come on Percy, Weine will show you the film" the girl said.

"Yes, let's get going. I want this to be quick" he said grabbing me by my shoulder and pushing me lightly to the exit, then he turned to look at the girl "it better be Reyna, because if not..."

He turned with me after giving her a you-better-be-careful stare.

We got out of the room leaving the girl, Reyna, standing behind us.

"what's your name newbie?"

"Percy"

"Percy something?"

"Not that I'm aware of"

"okay, this way Percy"

We walked thru a corridor, and entered into a dark room with some sits in it.

"Sit there, I'm gonna go put the film" Weine said as he signalized a chair and went to the back of the room were an old film projector was lying.

He noticed I was staring so I asked.

" emmm... you sure its gonna work? Looks kind of old"

"it is. It's enchanted, gift from Trivia in the 1876. Shows the demigod exactly what they need to understand the truth"

" okay..." looks like I'm not the only one that's crazy. Ha. Enchanted. Yeah sure.

" hey don't look at me like that, its true. Wait and see, you'll understand everything in a few minutes"

He turned the projector on and it start projecting something that looked old.

The light shined more and on the screen appeared.

"Perseus Jackson"

Wow, how did that knew my name? And Jackson? Well now I know my last name at least.

Then two words appeared.

" brace yourself"

with that the projector turned of and the room was left in darkness.

Brace yourself? What did that mean? And why did I felt like it was something I had heard before?

"Umm... Weine, I guess your machine isn't working so well anymore"

"no, it is working fine, but why did it didn't explain anything to you?"

" jeez you seriously asking me that? the film just told me my last name, which I didn't know from before?"

" its just that I don't understand, this has never happened before"

I stared at him, he was thinking hard.

" come on Percy, I will have to explain you the hard way, but first we are going to tell Reyna about this"

he took me back thru the corridor and to the infirmary, Reyna was sitting there looking at a book.

"Reyna" Weine said as we entered.

" wow Weine, that was quick. I understand you wanna go back to your book but the kid has to find the truth also"

"Reyna, this is serious. The film just said his name and told him to 'brace himself' and then turned off"

"what do you mean? You sure you connected it properly?"

"Yes, it wasn't me. It was like Percy didn't need any orientation, just advice, brace yourself"

Reyna looked at him puzzled, then looked at me.

" wait. Percy, you said you didn't remember your last name, right?"

" yes" I said not getting what she was talking about.

" so, you don't remember it because you never knew or because you forgot?"

" I knew before... but I woke up the other day with no memories, and then I was here"

" so you don't remember anything?"

" nope, not a single thing"

" well, will think about that later, but maybe the film didn't orientate you because you already know about the gods"

"yes, but then why did Percy lost his memories? And if he is a demigod and knew about the gods, how did he survive till now? is impossible without training, and he has never been to camp

before" Weine said.

" I don't know about that, but don't worry Percy we will help you find out... it may be connected to Jason disappear" she said the last part just like a whisper, and a sad look appeared on her

face.

" Reyn..." Weine said as he reached out to her. "Don't worry; Jason will be fine"

Who was this Jason? And why was Reyna so worried about him? It reminded me about my dream, and how Grover and Annabeth seemed so worried about me.

" I know..." she muttered, then ran a hand across her eyes and stood "We have to tell Lupa about this"
