And back to the demigods! I was going to put this up yesterday with chapter 9 but it was like 11 at night and I was tired. But do not fear I will not leave you hanging with the fate of our nameless, or maybe not so nameless hero at the doors of death! Enjoy and tell me what you think. :)

The sound of Percy's "HELLO?" echoed through the large marble mansion as Annabeth, Thalia, and Nico followed Percy as he stepped deeper into the living room. Two young adults, one a petite female who looked around fifteen, yet Percy got a feeling she was older from the unmistakable look in her baby pink eyes... yes pink eyes. She had copper colored hair that was pulled up into a neat ponytail. She stood next a large African guy who was easily six four, five? Percy couldn't really tell as he had to look up a good four or five inches. His dark skin wasn't extremely dark yet was not light either, he had a clean shaven head and even though his eyes were dark they seemed to have that same iridescent glow about them like the girl, Will, and even... Dru.

"Who are you?" The guy asked.

"They are the ones I said would come, Gero." The girl said.

"I know that Natali, yet I still need to know their names. Something your powers conveniently forgot." The guy, Gero apparently smirked as the young girl, who he had called Natali became frustrated.

"My powers did not forget! They merely want us to learn for ourselves."

"Okay... moving on, I'm Gero and that's Natali."

"Ummm... Percy, Annabeth, Nico, and Thalia." Percy responded.

"Good to meet you Percy, so I'm guessing your here because of Dru?"

"Yes, she went missing from our camp and we were given a quest to find her." Annabeth stepped forward.

"That sounds like Dru." Gero said with a smile. "Your Demigods correct?"

"Yes. Percy is a son of Poseidon, Nico is a son of Hades, Thalia is a daughter of Zeus, and I am a daughter of Athena."

"Lightning, Water, Shadow and the Wise heed." Natali said in a wispy voice, stunning the half-bloods.

"That's a line from the prophecy, how do you know it?"

"Natali is what we call a Counselor Nephilim, they are the most intellectual Nephilim and use there skills for more cognitive positions in the world. Although Natali is rare even among them."

"What are you?" Thalia asked.

"I am a Guardian Nephilim, my duty is to protect and fight."

"What other kind of Nephilim are there?" Annabeth, eager at the opportunity to learn about the Nephilim.

"There are the Prophets, or Prophetesses there are three, Truth, Regret, and Mercy. They guide the Nephilim in spiritual rituals, prophecies, and quests. The Prophets tend to have minimal contact with the mortal world."

"Why?" Percy asked.

"Because of there appearance, white hair and almost completely black eyes tend to stick out especially when there are three of them."

"You have a point."

"Indeed, there are also the Sentinel Nephilim, who are born without some of the marks of the Nephilim. It makes them harder to find but allows them to gain high positions in the world without complications."

"What sorts of marks?" Annabeth asked.

"Well the eyes for one, we all tend to have odd eye coloring. Some don't have the traditional symbol of the Nephilim." Natali tugged at the sleeve of her sleeveless shirt revealing a black runic mark on her left shoulder blade, it was similiar to a celtic five-fold with intricate vine work weaving through the five-fold. Ancient Greek scripture was written inside the mark, Annabeth and the other could make outCounselor to the Preliator Drusilla, Balance of... something... they couldn't read the last word.

"What's the last word?" Nico asked as he struggled to read it.

"Shan'Dru."

"We've heard that before, it's where Dru is from."

"Yes, Shan'Dru, it's Echanti for Sanctuary of Drusilla,and is the home of the Preliator."

"Echanti, Dru said that but didn't exactly give us a lesson in everything Preliator."

"The Echanti language is the oldest in existence in any of the fifteen dimensions. They created Dru and everything else, including the Grand Design. The Echanti were a highly intelligent, noble race, who have been missing for years. Not a soul has seen one since Dru first arrived in this dimension five thousand years ago. And it is not as if we can just go into there dimension and see if they're okay."

"Why not?" Thalia asked.

"It's not possible, we don't know why." Natali said, and then smiled as if she knew something everyone didn't. "They won't come after you here, none of them, they fear her even when she is gone." Natali looked straight at Thalia, who's face was completely speechless.

"How'd you know?"

"I can read your thoughts, you wonder why you have not been attacked. Monsters fear Dru too much to come after you, and the Sanhelli are too busy hunting her. As long as you stay near areas that are claimed by Dru you won't have any problems–"

And at that moment, an alarm system began to wail causing Natali and Gero to dash into the security room followed by the half-bloods. The medium sized room walls were covered in one hundred inch plasma televisions with the newest large iMac monitors and MacBook Pro's on the tables.

"What's happening?" Thalia yelled over the alarm.

"Someone's in trouble, they activated a beacon... Damn it!" Gero cursed as he pounded out sequences on the keyboard.

"What is it!" Percy asked.

"Siobhan... Siobhan activated the beacon in Boston." Natali gasped as the alarm finally secede.

"Is she okay?"

"I don't know, all it says is 'Help'"

"Then we need to go!"

"No, we need to wait for the others to arrive. I'm contacting Shannon, and Jason, there close by, Althea can get the others."

"We can go." Percy suggested. "Boston is not too far, and we could find some stuff out about Dru on the way."

"That could work, I'm sure the others could give you some more information about Dru. I mean,, they are her past." Gero said.

"I agree, but before you go I have somethings that may aid you." Natali led the demigods into the living room where there was a large UPS box. First she pulled out four New York drivers licenses. "When you turn sixteen the year will change on your card Nico, and Thalia, every year your year will change so you are always sixteen. Percy and Annabeth yours are just normal licenses. Next we have credit cards, don't worry about how much you spend they have no maximum limit just a minimum." Natali gave each of them a receptive black American Express Centurion card and Visa Infinite credit cards. "Cash and phones are in the bag, everyones numbers are already programed and the helicopter is out back ready to take you."

"Wow." Was all the Demigods could say as they were ushered into a helicopter that promptly took off and headed straight towards Boston.

Remember about the 'Review' Button. We don't want it to get lonely now do we? :)
