Nico's POV

After tossing my drachma into the spurting water I said, "Oh Rainbow Goddess Iris please accept my offering, and show me Percy Jackson at Camp-Half Blood." Moments later the shimmering image of my ridiculous friend showed. Turning around he noticed me.

"Oh, hey there Nico! How's the mission going?" He smiled while he asked. I shrugged.

"Pretty good I guess. Nothing too interesting has happened much. You get laid yet?" I smirked and saw Percy blush. He was 20 I'm pretty sure him and Annabeth have been intimate, but that doesn't mean he doesn't get embarrassed every time I ask.

"Oh shut up Nico!" I chuckled a bit.

"Nico, do you have anything to really report on, or are you just IMing me 'cause you love me?" I snorted at this.

"Well, I don't know there is this girl..." Percy perked up a bit at this.

"A girl? Like the one in that anonymous tip given to Chiron?" He egged on.

"Yeah, a girl. She's different."

"Different how?"

"Well, you see that's the thing. She's just too normal you know? I couldn't get a real reading on her soul like it was hidden, or being blocked. She doesn't 'smell' like a demigod, but if feels like she knows who they are."

"And how do you know that?"

"You see she knew that I had dyslexia and ADHD without being told, and when I asked her how she knew she paled slightly then used some bullshit examples to point it out."

"How do you know she's not a demigod?"

"Because she sure as hell does nothave either of those."

"And you know this how?" I rolled my eyes. When did Percy become so inquisitive. When did I know what inquisitive meant. We both need some time away from Annabeth.

"Because I saw her schedule in her binder when we had free period together she had all AP classes, and I don't even know a child of Athena who is in those." Percy nods his head at this.

"So pretty much your just getting a weird vibe off of her?"

"Yeah you could say that."

"Well then I guess all you can do is just keep an eye on her."

"Alright will do Perce."

"That's it? How's senior year? Any girls?" I waggled my eyebrows at him while answering the question.

"Percy there are always girls." He rolled his eyes at me.

"I mean real girls not the ones you just fool around with." Percy said seriously this time.

"Then no."

"Well I have to go then Annabeth needed my help teaching some newbies swordsmanship skills."

"Bye then, and Perce?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't kill too many of them. The gods only know how full the underworld is right now." We both laugh at this.

"Sure thing. See ya Nico." Then the iris message disappeared and I was now facing a wall. Might as well go check on Valerian before school starts.

Shadow Traveling to her house was harder then I expected it to be because every time I would try to jump out of a shadow I would be thrown back into it's abyss. Finally getting out of a shadow that was halfway down her street I had to walk the rest of the way to her house on stealth mode. Seeing as I couldn't travel through the shadows here I settled for hiding in them which seemed to be ok. When I got to her house there was a discussion going on that I could faintly hear coming from the kitchen. Getting closer I was able to make out what they were saying.

"So you don't want to do anything about it?"

"No dad. I'll be fine. Just like I told you last night unless it becomes a real problem I don't see why we would have to move."

"But you've been trying to stay away from them Val this kid he's going to ruin that for you."

"And how do you know that?"

"Because he's a son of Hades. You can't fool them for long, and I would know that so why don't you listen to your wise father, and we can move." So they do know who we are.

"I may be running from the gods and all of their crap, but I'm not going to let them be the reason that I have to leave my friends behind." Why are they trying so hard to stay away from the gods?

"Fine, but when things don't go over well-"

"Yes I know you'll be there to tell me so." There was silence then a bit of shuffling around.

"Alright kiddo, you know I'm just trying to do what's best for you."

"I know dad. I have to go now though, or I'll be late for school."

"See you later."

"Bye dad love you." Then there was a door closing, and her dad finally came into view. One look at him, and I could tell exactly what he was. He was a demi-titan. To be specific; a son of Prometheus. How I could tell? You could see it in his eyes. I quickly ran back down to the end of the street, and shadow traveled to the school. Looks like I have to talk to someone.

Valerian's POV

I was so glad to be back at school, and see my friends again. I was greeted with a bone crushing hug by Barron as soon as he saw me. "Well look who finally decided to show up." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Barron school doesn't start for another 15 minutes, and I thought I was going to be late!"

"Is that even possible? You being late?"

"I don't know, and I sure don't want to find out." We were able to find the rest of the crew, and hung out before the bell that told us all to get the class had rung. I made my way up to the front desk for Teacher's Aide when someone grabbed me. They had placed a hand over my mouth to prevent me from screaming, and had held both of my wrists behind my back with his other. Struggling I couldn't shake the vice grip I was in.

"Don't scream. I just want to talk." My eyes widened when I realized who's voice it was, and froze.

"Your not going to scream now are you?" I nodded my head no, and he let go of me. I turned on my heel, and began to whisper shout at him.

"What the fuck Di Angelo?" I hissed.

"I wanted to talk to you." He responded calmly.

"So you grab me? Has anyone ever told you it was ok to just ask someone to talk?" I glared at him.

"I would, but you would have ignored me, and I doubt you would have wanted to talk about this in front of your friends."

"Oh really? What pray tell could that be?" I continued to hiss at him.

"I know you know who I am, so stop pretending."I tried to run from him at this, but as soon as I turned around there he was again.

"Valerian. You can't run from me." I cursed under my breath.

"Fine, what do you want?" I asked angrily.

"Why are you hiding from the gods?"

"Because I don't want to be apart of their little dynamic family. Is that to hard to ask for?"

"Is it because your father is a Demi-titan." I was appalled to say the least.

"How dare you say that. My father has done nothing to the gods to gain any disfavor. In fact my grandfather helped them when they were trying to defeat Chronos, so you can just hop off because I have better things to do then run around doing the gods dirty work, and believing in those little fantasies they brainwash you all with." I whisper-yelled at him. He raised his eyebrows at me. The fucking jerk where does he even get the nerve!

"Calm down I didn't say it was a bad thing."

"You were implying it." I said pointedly.

"I didn't imply anything you assumed." I growled frustrated at this point.

"Are you just here to interrogate me or can I just continue with my life."

"You should go to Camp-half blood. You may not be a half blood, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind letting you train with us."

"Hell no. I am trained. I have killed plenty of monsters who have come at me, and now they can't even find me, so don't worry about me, and just leave me alone."

"What do you mean they can't find you?"

"Do I even feel like I have any form of titan or godly blood in me?"

"No." He looked confused.

"Exactly." I tried to walk away again only to be confronted with him again.

"Your hiding something."

"Everyone hides things."

"Your hiding something big."

"Well your hiding a world from the mortals so I think we're even."

"No we are not."

"Listen. I have a normal life here. No gods, no monsters, friends, I'm on my way to graduating with Summa Cum Laude, and I have a wonderful life a head of me. If you drag me into your world I will loose all of this. Tell me how many demigods do you know have this opportunity?" I asked, and he just stared at me blankly.

"Well? I'm just going to take your silence as a no. All that will come from you taking me back to Camp-Half Blood will just ruin my life. The gods will know who I am, I will be unwanted, I will loose my friends, monsters will be aware of me, so I would appreciate it if you could just leave, and forget you ever met me. Pretend like I never existed, and know that you helped a life. I am no ones guinea pigs, and I'll be damned if the gods try and turn me in to theirs. I don't want to dethrone them, I don't even want them to be apart of my life, so if you'll just leave and stop attracting all those damn monsters to this town I would really appreciate it." With this I stormed off, and he didn't stop me this time he just stood there watching me while I left. Good. It'll give him time to think, and hopefully he'll just butt out of my life.

Later at lunch I was still in a bad mood from the confrontation with Nico. I was justified with what I said, and I have no regrets. I just hope he sees it that way.

"Hey Val what's wrong?" Barron brings me back to reality.

"Hmm, nothing I was just thinking." He seemed interested.

"About what?"

"Oh nothing."

"I doubt that you had your serious face on. What were you really thinking about." I sighed.

"Ugh, just that Nico kid. He ran into me on my way to first period, and really upset me."

"What did he say?" He looked anxious almost. I doubt that I don't know why he would be.

"Oh nothing just family problems he's been having." I said this dismissively as if it was nothing. His face turned serious.

"What kind of family problems?" I looked at him. Why did he want to know so much?

"Nothing just that his dad sent him here to do better in school."

"His dad?"

"Yeah." What the hell is wrong with him?

"And he told you this."

"Yes. Why, is that a problem?" He's starting to worry me his face is so stoic. I've never seen him like this before.

"Can I talk to you in private."

"Um, sure can this wait to after school maybe?" He looked like he was about to protest when the bell went off to go to your next period. I gave him a sheepish smile while he left along with everyone else. I then set off for the library. While I was there like I had expected Nico popped up, and sat next to me in the study hall portion of the library.

"I thought about what you said." He began.

"And? What decision did you come to?"

"You need to come to camp with me." He said, but he looked almost sad when he did. Almost.

"Are you fucking kidding me." I hissed at him not wanting to draw attention to myself by not yelling.

"After everything I told you. After how I said this never happens to anyone your willing to take that away from me. Your going to steal my freedom?" His eyes didn't meet mine when he spoke.

"It's not like that."

"Oh really? Your just going to take all the hard work I've done my whole life and stomp on it, and then tell me that your not doing exactly that." He looked back up at me his eyes flashing. It's definitely true that the rage of a son of Hades is something to fear, but I held my ground.

"You don't understand."

"What don't I understand. It's not that hard. Your ruining my life."

"I wish I didn't have to, but it has to be done." I snorted, and shook my head.

"This is exactly what I was talking about. They make you do whatever their little hearts desire, and you all follow so willingly. It's disgusting." I spit back at him.

"Listen. I don't want to do this. In fact this is the last thing I could think of ever doing my entire life. You don't realize how hard this is for me, but you have to come to camp. Your who the prophecy talked about. It has to be you. Your supposed to bring Olympus to it's breaking point and make it rise from the ashes to never be defeated again. If we don't have you on our side Olympus will fall, and all anarchy will break loose."

"And what if I'm not the person the prophecy is talking about. What then?"

"You are. There is no one else you it could be. You have to be." He looked at me almost desperately.

"Don't you even understand. What if I'm not. What then? Do I just get to go free? Do I just pick up my life the way it was before? I don't think you truly understand this. If your wrong my life will be ruined, and it will be your fault. Could you live with that? Ruining someone's life?"

"I know it's you." I looked him in the eyes for a good couple of minutes.

"I'm sure you do." I got up and walked away. That walk turned into a speed walk. That speed walk turned into a jog. That jog turned into a run. That run turned into a full out sprint. I sprinted all the way home to find it empty. My father not there he must be at work. Although I was sure he had the day off. I ran up to my room, and collapsed onto my bed sobbing. It's over. It's all over. They'll know now, and there is nothing I can do. I should've just left while I had the chance. I know it would've been hard, but it's nothing compared to this.

There was a knock at my bedroom door expecting my father I told him to come in, but to my surprise it wasn't my dad. It was Barron.

"Val? What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Cut the crap Val. I need to tell you something, and it has to do with why your upset."

"I doubt that." I said. He smiled sadly, and came to sit with me.

"Val I know." I looked at him curiously.

"Know what?"

"Val, I know your dad is a demi-titan, and I know your a daughter of a goddess." I gaped at him.

"How, how do you know?"

"Because, I'm what you could call your opposite."

"What?"

"I my mother was a demigod, and my father a titan."

"How is that possible?"

"Well, your going to flip when I tell you who they are." I eyed him warily.

"My mom was a daughter of Zeus. My father... well he's Chronos." I froze. How is that possible. How did Zeus not know this.

"How is that possible." I said as a statement more then a question this time out loud.

"Well for one, I'm also a lot older then you think."

"Well having your father being the lord of a time I age slower then you."

"How much slower."

"Well right now my birthday is in June, so I'd say about 127 years old give or take a few." Again I gaped at him.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because Valerian. I need your help."

"My help? What could I possibly do for you?"

"Well you see, both of our breeds are what you would call almost extinct. They rarely happen let alone with powerful gods and titans like ourselves, so you'd imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon you." Does he even really consider me a friend? Can I trust him? Was he using me this whole time? Why does my life have to be so complicated.

"So you knew the whole time? You just got close to me so I could help you?"

"No, our friendship is real. That will never change however I would like you to help me if your willing."

"Help you with what?"

"A revolution." I gulped at this.

"What type of revolution?"

"One that will free people like us from the rein of the gods. One that will give demigods a chance to really live their lives without the fear of being hunted by monsters. It will guarantee our freedom from those evil gods."

"You want to dethrone the gods from their place at Olympus?"

"Yes." He answers me with short answers allowing me to fully take all of this in.

"And you want me to help you?"

"Yes."

"Are you going to try to raise your father from tatarus?"

"No. He is a terrible creature. If it was up to me the gods would be sentenced to restrain him for the rest of their miserable eternity." He smirked at this.

"I mean you said it yourself. 'I don't want to do the gods dirty work.'"

"You heard?"

"I found out after you told me you had talked to Di Angelo."

"Oh."

"So, will you help me?" I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to go to that camp, but I don't think it was really hurting the demigods it gave them a safe haven. Sure the gods have them do their dirty work, and use them all as pawns, but they all do it willingly. It gives them a place to be accepted by each other, but would it do that for me?

"I don't know." He grimaced at this.

"Well you'll have to hurry up your decision because Nico is coming soon, and he's bringing friends to take you to Camp. I know you don't want to go there, but I know you won't have a choice once they come for you. If you come with me I will make sure they can't get you, and we will set all of them free. I have an army Val. Your not my only comrade. There are many more."

"I don't think I've ever seen or heard you like this before." He laughed at this.

"That's because I was just a high school student before. I am still like that, but there is also so much more to me then that as well." He looked out the window, and scowled.

"They're here earlier then they should be they must know I'm here." I looked at him confused.

"They don't actually know it's me, but they have reason to believe that I'll come for you." I made a simple 'oh' shape.

"I have to go now. If you change your mind you'll know how to reach me." With that he walked out my bedroom door closing it behind him. I got up, and tried to follow him, but when I opened the door he was no where in sight. He had just vanished in thin air. Nico was then at the foot of the stairs looking at me apologetically.

"Whatever." I told him, and walked right past him towards the car waiting outside not even bothering to bring any belongings. When I got in the kid in the driver's seat turned around to look at me like I was crazy.

"Are we going or not I have no patience for you." I said curtly. Nico climbed into the passenger seat, and it looks like he brought Percy with him, so Percy drove us to the camp.
