Future demigods:
Nico – Nick
Thalia – Thals
Annabeth – Anna
ON THE ... coffee merchant.
Being around Argus so much, a two-headed coffee merchant did not surprise them in the least.
Percy inhaled ... Imperial golden.
The demigods that knew Percy rolled their eyes fondly. The ones from the future had a longing glint in their eyes.
He watched ... at camp?"
The Greeks frowned. That really wasn't fair. The Greeks were the ones dying and risking their lives fighting monsters while the Romans stayed in their little safe haven.
"Roughly."
"And ... been busy."
Apollo and Hermes smirked widely. They were always busy.
Hazel laughed. ... impossible dream.
Percy nodded. "It's something I haven't thought about since I discovered I was a demigod."
The Gods frowned, especially Poseidon.
"These Legos—"
Thals and Nick snorted.
"Legacies," Hazel ... "You'll see."
Jason, too, made a sour face. He really hated Octavian.
That didn't ... be alone."
Percy, Thalia, Thals, Nick, Nico and Jason stared at the floor in sadness. They knew what that was like. Though now Thalia/Thals doesn't sleep in the Zeus cabin, Jason is now alone. Percy sometimes gets a roommate, aka Tyson, but almost all the time, he was alone. Nico doesn't even have a cabin. At least, not yet.
Percy felt ... perhaps?"
"Vitellius,"
Jason grimaced. "Ugh, Vitellius. Trust me, stay away from him. He's not like Octavian, but you don't want to be around him for any amount of time."
Hazel said, ... clean stables?"
Annabeth smirked. "Yes, yes, and yes."
Leo rose an eyebrow at Percy. "You clean stables?"
Percy blushed. "It was one time and I had to so that we would survive! They were flesh-eating horses too! Had no respect for a son of Poseidon." He pouted.
They all laughed at him.
"Yes, yes, and no," Percy said.
"Um," Thalia laughed, "I think you missed one Percy."
"Who are ... your help."
Leo rose his eyebrows, impressed. He liked this girl. Nick saw his look and scowled. He better stay away from his sister!
The ghost's ... Percy said.
"Armed with Lightning." Jason translated.
"'Armed with ... always known.
Annabeth sighed exaggeratedly. "I wish you were that easy to convince the first time. It took forever before you believed anything I was saying."
Percy made a face at her which she copied, both smiling.
Anna's fingers tightened on her ring. The emeralds bit into her flesh, but she didn't flinch. Oh how she wished she could put it on her finger. Later.
"And you're ... favorite view."
Thalia frowned. "You two must have been at least a little close with the way she's reacting."
Jason frowned too. "I think we were kind of close. I'm not entirely sure."
They stopped ... the parks.
The demigods sighed. It just wasn't fair. Their entire camp was centered around practicing and fighting. The Romans got to actually live their lives there. It just wasn't fair.
"You've got ... the legion."
The Greek demigods scowled at the floor. Jason looked uncomfortable.
Adult demigods. ... Death isn't—"
"Her brother?" Annabeth asked thoughtfully. "I thought she said she would be alone if they lived like us, separated by parents? Why didn't she mention a brother?"
Nick shifted uncomfortably. They were going to find out and Thals and Anna were going to kill him.
She was ... to Percy.
Leo grinned. "Hey, Anna…"
Anna glared. "No."
"But-"
"No."
The elephant ... about something.
Anna smiled softly. "You always were good at reading people."
Percy smiled too. "Yeah, like on our first quest. In the truck?"
Anna, Annabeth and Percy smiled. Grover hid a smile by turning his head. They had thought he was sleeping, but he was actually listening in. At the time he couldn't believe Percy got Annabeth to open up about her home life. She never even talked about it to Thalia and Luke. That was the moment when he knew that they were destined to be together, as corny as that sounds.
Hazel pointed ... of the road.
Grover perked up at the mention of satyrs.
"Hazel!" one ... for denarii.
Everyone looked at Grover who was spluttering incomprehensibly. "That is outrageous! How dare they call themselves satyrs! That is an insult to us!"
Jason grimaced. "They don't call themselves satyrs. They're fawns."
Grover glared, which was pretty menacing for a fun loving goat. "IT DOESN"T MATTER!"
Percy moved quickly. He jumped up and grabbed Grover's arms and positioned them behind his back, keeping him from moving. He whispered something inaudible in Grover's ear which, miraculously, managed to calm him down. He let go of Grover and returned to his seat while Grover grumbled to the floor.
At the curious glances thrown his way, Percy just shrugged. What he told Grover was between them.
"Hi, Don," ... work, and—"
Grover glared menacingly at the book which was pretty scary for a satyr.
"Don," Hazel ... Percy asked.
The demigods laughed and the more relaxed Gods snickered. Apollo winked at Percy causing him to laugh harder.
"Yeah. So?"
"Nothing." Percy ... the camp?"
Grover nodded stiffly, still glaring.
Don bleated. ... camp! Hilarious!"
Hera quickly continued reading before Grover could explode. He looked pretty close too.
"Fauns are, ... I love her!"
Leo pursed his lips in a tight line, desperately trying not to laugh.
The faun ... for denarii.
Grover smiled slightly. So, Percy would subconsciously remember him. That made him feel better. Percy was, after all, his best friend.
Don looked ... a diamond.
Annabeth frowned, something stirred in the back of her mind. She had a feeling she knew what that was about but she couldn't think of it.
Hades shifted uncomfortably. He had no idea how she could be alive.
"Come on, ... "Don't ask."
Anna smiled slightly. "That won't stop Percy. He'll only wait until she least expects it, then he'll ask again."
Percy shrugged. The method works.
They walked ... of Rome."
"Well," Percy said, sounding disgusted, "I'm not going there now."
Annabeth, Anna, Nico, Nick, Thalia, Thals and Grover laughed as everyone else looked at them confused. Ares looked furious at Percy who either didn't notice or didn't care, most likely the second.
"Why don't you want to go?" Jason's voice was slightly harsh. He didn't like it when people dissed his camp.
Percy smirked. "Let's just say… Ares and I don't get along all that well."
Jason looked at the God and saw the look of absolute fury on his face. He quickly looked away.
Percy wasn't ... feel angry.
Annabeth groaned all of a sudden.
"You're going to get into trouble with his Roman half now, aren't you?"
Percy shrugged. "Most likely."
She rolled her eyes fondly. She wouldn't want him any other way.
He pointed ... most awesome?"
Poseidon smirked as his brothers scoffed.
"You wish." Zeus grumbled. He and Hades look to their children for support but both the present and future versions of their kids were studiously not looking at them. Thals was fiddling with her tiara, Nick was examining his skull ring, Thalia was playing with a ball of lightning and Nico was more concerned with the dirt of his shoes.
Poseidon's smirk widened.
"Um, not ... the door.
And now he winced. The Romans still hated him for whatever reason.
Percy was stunned for a moment before he felt anger course through his veins. His father deserved respect! The Romans were going to pay for this!
Jason was toying with a loose thread on his shirt. He didn't want to look at anyone and see their reactions. Especially Percy. That kid was scary.
Percy peeked ... moldy apples.
Percy's anger grew.
His heart ... his veins.
Poseidon frowned angrily. "It appears that I have been trying to contact you, but was blocked." He glared at Zeus.
Anna blinked back tears. She remembered waking up in Percy's cabin a few months after he disappeared and seeing Poseidon sitting on one of the bunks, a picture of her and Percy at the beach in his hands. He confessed that he had been trying to find his son and get in contact with him but Zeus would not allow it. He blocked all access to Percy from everyone, even the Gods. All except Hera of course. That day, she and Poseidon became close. They bonded over Percy's disappearance and he was now like a second father to her. It hurt her to see him so distressed over Percy's situation. She wanted to give him a hug like she would his future self, but she was afraid of what her mother would do.
She rolled the ring between her fingers, keeping it hidden from sight.
He reached ... the altar.
Percy and Poseidon smiled at each other.
"Hey…uh, ... one of us."
Anna glared. He was not one of them! He was a Greek! Always will be!
He felt ... Hazel asked.
"The master bolt," Percy said.
Anna, Annabeth and Grover smiled widely. Maybe he was getting his memory back…
Jason looked at him, confused. "How do you know that?"
"My first quest was to find Zeus' master bolt, which he blamed me for stealing even though I didn't even know I was a demigod at the time." Percy rolled his eyes.
Zeus glared at him.
"What are ... I guess."
They sighed, disappointed. Of course it wasn't going to be that easy.
The kid ... his eyes,
Jason glared. Crazy was right.
like he'd ... less crazy.
Grover looked like he was about to commit murder.
"Percy," Hazel ... small animals?"
Leo snorted before shutting up, seeing Grover's scary glare directed at him.
Octavian looked ... Percy asked.
Leo couldn't help but laugh. "Seriously? This is the guy who tells your future? By murdering stuffed animals? The oracle is so much better!"
He received strange looks from everyone in the present. How could a mummy be better?
Piper slapped him for almost revealing the future.
Octavian stepped ... remember who."
Noticing eyes on him, Percy sighed. "I was probably thinking of… Luke."
Annabeth and Thalia winced. Anna and Thals, however, remained unaffected. Hermes' face scrunched up in grief. After all, Luke had only died a few hours ago for them.
"Possibly my ... the legion?"
Apollo moaned and dropped his head into his hands. He was ashamed of having a descendent as sad as this.
Hazel spoke ... of oracles.
The Greeks smirked smugly. Rachel felt this strange feeling in her stomach. As though it was she they were talking about. But that was impossible. She was a mortal… right?
Now, if ... for them—"
Jason frowned. "That would be a disaster if Octavian obtained them. He would abuse the knowledge and mold it for his own means."
Apollo looked furious at his descendent. You cannot control prophecies!
"Because Reyna ... must fall—"
The demigods from the future winced while the present ones looked confused.
Thals explained. "The Oracle delivered that prophecy right after this war. It is very important."
Percy swallowed. He knew, in his very bones, that he was involved with this prophecy as well. Can't he ever get a break?
Annabeth grabbed his hand in a vice grip. She realized the same thing.
"Yes, yes." ... of Death."
Apollo frowned, trying to decipher what it means.
"I—I know ... fond of it.
Annabeth, Thalia, Nico and Grover laughed. Rachel smiled. Such a Percy thing for him to do.
Octavian turned ... Hazel snapped.
Jason's eyes widened. They thought he was dead? That wasn't good. If Octavian gains praetor… that would be disaster.
"You're the ... to me."
Percy shook his head. "He is too addicted to power. A leader who craves nothing but power is not a leader but a parasite. He would destroy the camp within a few months."
Jason raised an eyebrow. "How do you know that?"
He shrugged. He knew what power does to people, and the people surrounding them. He had seen it firsthand. He never wanted that power.
Hazel clenched ... be true."
"He's blackmailing her." Paul hissed. He had stayed quiet throughout the reading as he felt very uncomfortable in a room full of Gods and demigods and he was only one of three mortals, but he couldn't stay quiet with this. He was a teacher after all. Sally gripped his hand.
Percy looked angry as well. Hazel had been nothing but nice to his future self and she didn't deserve to be treated in such a way.
Nick and Hades had a dangerous glint in their eyes. No one threatened their family.
Percy slipped ... a blade.
Annabeth smiled. "You always were very protective of your friends. Even people you had just met."
Percy smiled at her and held her hand.
Hazel took ... is here."
Nick stiffened. Oh no…
Anna and Thals were going to kill him, if Percy didn't do it first.
Hazel stiffened. ... the others.
Nick's eyes narrowed. Next time he's at the camp, he'll scar Octavian for life for messing with his sister.
Now, if ... his knife.
Thalia smirked. "I like this girl."
Nick rolled his eyes. He always knew Thalia and Hazel would get along well.
"I hate ... meet you."
Nick winced. No, he wouldn't want to see Percy like that. Percy was too important to him for him to see him without his memories. To see him without his memories would be like stabbing a knife into his stomach. He wants their Percy back.
Percy didn't ... the hill.
Suspicious glances were thrown towards Hades and Nick.
Standing in ... aviator jacket.
The glances started turning to glares at Nick. That sounded too close for comfort.
"Hey," Hazel ... should know.
Anna and Thals were glaring murderously at Nick, their hands forming fists. The ring bit into Anna's palm, almost drawing blood. She didn't notice.
The kid ... black sword.
Percy had a hard face as he looked at Nick.
For a ... a searchlight.
Nick couldn't bare to look at anyone, especially Percy. He wouldn't be able to tell Percy anything, Hera had forbidden it.
"This is ..."I'm Nico Di Angelo."
"NICO!" Thals and Anna yelled before moving simultaneously. They both jumped on him and pulled him to the floor, punching every inch of him they could get as he yelled for help.
Percy jumped to his feet, about to pull them off Nick when something glinted from the corner of his eye. Something shiny was laying on the floor in front of where Anna had been sitting. Crouching down he lifted it off the floor only to almost drop it in shock.
It was an engagement ring.
