I don't own PJO.

Percy described in detail (with Annabeth jumping in here and there), his five quests. Annabeth, Hazel, and I spewed what we were drinking when Percy got to the St. Louis Arch, Echidna, and the Chimera. Reyna's eyes had widened a bit, and Jason's eyebrows were somewhere in his hair. Piper and Leo just laughed at all the faces that everyone was making, joining Percy, who was laughing so hard he couldn't talk.

Everyone groaned when he announced that he had been out of practice, and looked relieved when Annabeth showed up and stabbed the last Lastrygonian in the stomach, and I glared at Annabeth when she called them Canadians.

"What?" she asked.

"I'm a Canadian, and yet I'd never seen those until I went on a quest with Percy." I said, still glaring.

"Sorry." she mumbled.

Everyone laughed when Percy was turned into a guinea pig, and we had attracted quite a crowd of fans, all listening to Percy and Annabeth recount their quests.

It happened again and again, the disbelief on people's faces, the spewing, and the laughter, as Percy continued on throughout his quests. Jason gave up asking, "How did you get out of this one?" and there were many "Jeez, he attracts trouble like a magnet attracts iron." By the time dinner was done, he was only at where he snuck off in search of Annabeth, following the Hunters, Thalia, and Grover.

He was a great storyteller, even though sometimes he was laughing so hard he couldn't speak at our faces. The random memory of exploding toilets made sense now, and I got the feeling that everyone was really glad that Percy was on our side, because we would have one Pluto of a time taking him down, with all that skill on his side.

The torches were lit, and the storytelling continued well after dark. Jason described his quest to defeat the Trojan sea monster, and his quest to release Juno. He described what it was like at Camp Half-Blood, and the other newcomers' faces softened at their home. Percy had a wistful look on his face.

I had a great time describing all my quests, all the gods and goddesses I'd managed to make mad on my first quest, not to mention the enemies in the monster world, the betrayers. Everyone was on the edge of their seats as I described the war, and my voice cracked when I told them about Luke. "He was the enemy, and yet he helped us win the war. I was not the hero, and yet I still had to make the choice, the crucial one, the one to trust. Luke was right, in the end, and he sacrificed himself of is own free will."

After that, I told them about Hazel's, Frank's, and I's most recent quest: to free Thantos. There was a lot of cringing, and Hazel and Frank told their part of the story, and I was pretty stunned that they shared their held-so-long secrets.

Jason told us how he got to the camp, and the Trojan sea monster quest, and freeing Hera.

"I'm noticing that both of you had to go free some god. Will it be like that until the giants are dead and she is defeated?" someone called out from the back of the crowd. We all knew who the she was.

"I don't know." I said. I looked over and saw that Jason was shaking his head also.

Jason

I kind of liked this guy. He'd been in so much danger, and I'd thought that I had the worse luck in the world. He was also still safe, and he'd turned down immortality for a girl. I didn't know anyone that would do that.

The storytellers would rotate, and sometimes I'd go up there and share the story of a quest. It ended when the moon was high and it was long past curfew. Reyna would work us to death, but I think everyone agreed: it would be worth it.

Ok! It is official! I am not continuing this (and if I ever do) I will continue this after I have finished my PJO series and Dragon of the Depths, and MoA will have already come out by then, so...I'm not continuing it, unless I get another crazy idea. Highly likely, but I never know.

Have a good weekend!
