An: Christmas update!! (I kno its late)

I do not own PJO… if I did, last Olympian would not be the last book.

The next morning, Percy walked outside of his cabin to be greeted by two feet of snow. He had seen snow at the camp before, but not this much, so he was shocked by te glittering of the sun off the snow.

"Merry Christmas, Percy!" Annabeth said, walking in from the snow.

"Merry Christmas!" Percy replied "What did you get me?"

"Just wait and find out" Annabeth said. They walked up towards the big house, greeted by year round campers that they knew.

"Merry Christmas Percy and Annabeth!" Chiron said

"Yes, Merry Christmas indeed!" Mr. D said, walking over with a giant cup of eggnog. "This is the closest I'm going to get to alcohol for another year!" Chiron grabbed the cup and tossed it out the window.

"You know what Lord Zeus said. No Alcohol!" Chiron snapped

"Fine, don't get your tail in a bunch…" Mr. D muttered. Percy and Annabeth walked over to where their presents were waiting for them. Percy handed Annabeth her present.

"Percy, it's beautiful" Annabeth said. It was a celestial bronze necklace with a golden owl on it.

"It has an empathy link with me, so if you wear it, we are joined together" Percy said. Annabeth handed him his present. It was a cloak.

"Wow…A cloak" Percy said

"A cloak that is impenetrable" Annabeth said.

"Really?" Percy asked his jaw now hanging open. She reassured him so, and he kissed her.

"We should go see Thalia now." Annabeth said

"Sure, but I have to talk to Chiron." Percy said "You go on ahead" Annabeth headed for the infirmary, while Percy headed towards Chiron.

"Percy what is it?" Chiron asked

"I need to see the Oracle" Percy replied

"Now?" Chiron asked

"I think it's best" Percy replied.

"Alright, if that's what you want" Chiron sighed "You know where she is" Percy trudged up the stairs and into the attic. Upon setting foot on the wooden floorboards, green mist poured out of the Oracle's mouth.

"Far above Earth

The old one waits

The one who creates

But far below

Lives weapon stronger than sword, shield, and bow

A god's tool, un-lift able by mortal hands

But maybe a demi-god can" As the oracle stopped speaking, it left Percy standing there, shaking.
