Heyyyyyyy it's MAYA! Woooh! We love Maya! I got to update the story today! ALL ON MY OWN. Kelsey and I wrote it very well if I say so myself. I realized there hasn't been a disclaimer in a while so I've decided to take it upon myself to make one.

We own no characters that Rick Riordan has written in his stories. All characters that are his truly belong to him. The plot belongs to us. And Sam. But besides them Rick Riordan can eat this story if he wants. As long as I get an autograph. (WOO!)

That was probably one of the most awesome disclaimers ever. Enjoy it peeps.

Thalia's POV
I think if Atlas gave me one more nickname I might punch him in the face. Then shoot him with an arrow. Then, since he won't die because he's a stupid titan, I'll punch him again.
Sounds like a plan.
"On the thirty-first of february-" I coughed,
"Thirty first?" I scoffed, Percy turned towards me.
"We've moved past that." He said, shaking his head. I shot him a glare.
"Oh go jump in a lake."
"Get hit by lightning for all I care." Percy retorted, Jason was watching us with a humorous interest.
"You guys are kidding... Right?" He asked, Atlas clapped his hands.
"Enough!" He bellowed. "You guys always interrupt me!" He whined, Percy turned back towards him with a smirk on his face.
"You already told us! 10 demigods will come to me and will fail at a task and their parents essence will go to you, blah blah blah." Percy said, sitting cross legged on the ground. Sam started to stir from underneath Atlas's foot.
"Why ten?" I asked, "There are hundreds of gods-"
"I don't need Minor gods powers you fools! When they see my tremendous power they will worship me!"
"What about Hera?" Jason asked, "She doesn't have a demigod." Atlas waved a hand like it was beneath his concern.
"Hera can be captured easily. My mother," He kissed his fingers and touched the ground. Where Gaia was now asleep and staying asleep from Percy and the seven other demigods that went to Greece. "Showed me how. She's easy to capture, just get a cyclops to mask Zeus's voice, transmit it to Hera. Lock her up, and BAM! Got her captured. This time it'll be soundproof. She's very annoying."
"You can say that again." I muttered. Jason narrowed his eyes at me. He still was protective of her for who knows what reason.
"I hope that we're not four of the ten demigods then." He said, going nose-to-nose with Atlas. Whatever tasks you have for us. Set 'em free. I am Jason, Praetor of the Roman camp-"
"Ex Praetor." Percy pointed out,
"-Leader of the fight that knocked down this very temple." He went on, ignoring Percy. He gestured towards the ruins. "And put Mother Gaea herself to sleep!"
"Probably from your speeches." Percy muttered, I snorted, but covered it with a cough.
"No task that you set for us will bring us down, Atlas. We are the children of the Gods. We are warriors, and we will not fail to you."
"Beat ya once! Gonna beat you again!" Percy cut in, when he saw the look on Jason's face he shrunk back and stood by me.
"Best not to anger him when he's in his moods." He whispered to me.
"So tell us these tasks, titan. But hope that we are separated. Because together we are unstoppable. Together, nobody stands a chance, and certainly not you." I kind of expected him to raise his fist or sword or something at the end (you know, to be all dramatic and stuff) but he just stood there glaring at the titan, daring him to disagree.
"Then I'll seperate you!" Atlas screeched, obviously proud of himself for picking up on that.
"Jason!" Percy whined, "You had to have a speech, didn't you?" He threw up his arms in defeat, and turned to look at the horizon, muttering something under his breath. All I heard was: "The war changed that kid. I swear it. All of a sudden he insists on dramatic speeches an- and" He stopped and turned when he noticed everyone could hear him.
"Oh yea? Come at me, bro!" Jason said, trying to act gangster.
"Guys, guys! Let's cool it. and focus on the task at hand. Which we still have yet to find out. Atlas?"
We turned to look at the titan, who was watching us with an amused expression.
"I have three words for your little show here: Fan. Tas. Tic." He rubbed his hands together, trying to act intimidating. Which is difficult, when you're drooling so bad that it looks like you're wetting your pants.
"That's not three words." I said rolling my eyes. Sam moved her arm a little.
"Yeah! We know it's two!" Percy said, laughing like a fool. Jason and I both gave him incredulous looks,
"Two?" Jason asked him, shaking his head.
"Yeah." Percy said, staring at him like he was an idiot. "Fantas-tíc" He said rolling his eyes. Making the tick sound like teek. I hit him upside the head.
"Hush now Percy." I said. Percy turned red and shrunk back.
"You buffoons!" Atlas yelled, clapping his knee and making some weird chortling sound that might have possibly been laughter. Who knows. We stared at him silently until he got over his little fit.
"Let's see who the lovely demigods are!" He shouted, making his voice sound like an announcers. He clapped his hands twice and a huge cloud started to cover the sun. I stared at it for a while and realized, it was no cloud. It was hundreds, maybe thousands of griffons. I reached for my bow and the boys also reached for their weapons.
"How many times do you have to do the griffon thing?" Jason asked, shaking his head.
"Oh, the griffons aren't here to attack, children. They brought you some friends."
I looked up again and sure enough, in the grasp of the griffon's talons were demigods, some roman, some greek. They all fell, but stayed motionless on the ground.
Atlas smiled at us, I stared up at him in horror.
"You killed them?" I asked, feeling anger rising up in my throat.
"Of course not!" He bellowed, spit rained all over me. "How could I use them if they were dead! And why would I leave their bodies here? It makes such a mess you know."
I just stared at him.
"What is wrong with you?" I asked, as I rushed over to the demigods. Just before I reached them, I heard Atlas say, rather creepily, i might add: "I wouldn't do that if I were you."
I stopped in my tracks, and turned my head to look at him.
"And why is that?"
"Because," the titan said like it was obvious. "it would make you like that."
"Oh, is that all?" I asked sarcastically, giving him my signature look; one eyebrow up, and my mouth a straight line.
"Nope." Atlas said, not getting my sarcasm at all. "You'll also probably give them a huge scare when they wake up and they might chop your head off." He shrugged like it was no big deal. "Just make sure it's a clean cut. I don't want it to get messy." Percy gagged a little.
"Guys," Jason announced, "I have an idea."
"And what is that?" Percy said.
"Don't touch them." His face read no emotion, and I looked at him like he was crazy.
"Really? Anymore ideas, Smart One?"
"Nope." He shook his head, still totally serious. Sam kicked her legs which made Atlas jump back from her. I still had the bow in my hands, I notched an arrow and aimed it at Atlas before you can say Jackson.
"Back away." I said, Atlas put his hands up in surrender. Jason and Percy took the chance and rushed forward, picking Sam up and placing her in a more comfortable position.
"It doesn't matter anyway." Atlas said, his voice going a little high. "I don't need her anymore. All we need now is for the Poem to start, and you'll fail anyway!" He grinned, showing his disgusting teeth. He threw his arms in the air and started to chant something in a mix of latin and greek. I couldn't make out what he was saying, but whatever it was, it was messing up the heavens. Thunder cracked and lightning hit a pillar nearby. Rain poured then turned to snow. I was frozen with awe, I couldn't move. All of a sudden Atlas stopped, his face scrunched up in pain and he fell to the ground. Annabeth appeared, pulling off her baseball cap.
"Well that was unexpected." She said, smiling at us.
Oh how I love that girl. Percy looked at her with so much love in his eyes, that I felt like I should look away. He rushed forward, quickly crossing the space between them. He engulfed her in a bear hug, and spun her around.
"ANNNABETHHHH!" Percy exclaimed.
I pushed him out of my way.
"Move it fish face." I said and gave Annabeth a huge hug of my own. "I missed you!" I yelled, hugging her again. She laughed. I looked over at Percy who was pouting, Jason looked a little left out.
"Come on guys!" Annabeth yelled, grinning at them, "group hug!" Percy's face lit up and he ran forward, knocking the wind out of me as he hugged us both.
"Gosh Percy." Annabeth said, wheezing, "We haven't been seperated for weeks, it's been like, two hours."
"Yeah Percy," I said mocking him, "I'm the one who hasn't seen her."
"You called me fish face." He said, still looking hurt.
"Oh don't do this you two." Annabeth said shaking her head.
"She started it!"
"Well I'm ending it!" She said sternly, Percy backed off.
"Yes ma'am." He muttered under his breath, Annabeth punched him in the shoulder.
I've missed this.
