Authors Note: Wassup? Guess who's back? MELANIE FREAKING BEILSHMIDT! So... I have a plot now... I can't wait to write the dinner part... either way alchohol's gonna happen... Only three reviews? Imma little sad... :(

"What the hell was that?!" I shouted at Chiron and Grover. They didn't seem to hear me. They mumbled back and forth and I caught only part of it.

"Old forces…"

"Tell the Gods."

"They were supposed to…."

Three of us had gone into the big house after the commotion. I was really glad as I hate when people are staring at me for less than perfect reasons.

"HEY!" I shouted snapping their attention back to me. "Now, what the hell was that thing on my head? Why did it have a Maple Leaf on it? Tell me!" I was completely exasperated. "What's going on?"

Chiron sighed and put his head in his hands. "That symbol is what you get when your godly parent claims you." I nodded. I got this. So far at least.

"So that symbol is for…?" I questioned, tilting my head to the right a bit.

Chiron sighed again. "That's the problem my dear. That wasn't a God's symbol. It was a symbol for something even older than the gods." My head swam. Not a God's symbol. Then what the hell was I?

Chiron looked at me seriously. "Melanie, have you grown at all in the last year?" I shook my head. I hadn't grown at all this past year. Sure, I wasn't really tall or anything, but I knew when I grew.

Chiron looked at Grover sadly. "Now I know. My dear, you are… immortal."

Immortal? What?!

I looked at him with a smirk and laughed nervously. "H-Ha! F-funny Chiron. What have you been smoking? I am a demigod." I said rubbing my feet on the carpet.

"No. You are… hmmm. Let me tell you a story." He scratched his chin and looked at the ceiling. "Long ago, when the earth was created, Mother Earth created a special race. This race was modeled to walk, talk and act just like humans." He paused glancing at me. "But they all had one special thing about them: they represented areas of land."

"You mean countries?" I asked.

"Exactly my dear. This race would feel pain when damage would occur to their land or when something happened to their citizens. But they are immortal for as long as their country stands."

I nodded my head. "Cool, cool. What does this have to do with me?"

He shook his head. "I'm not done yet. Anyway, once later in time, the countries started to stand out among humans. They would do terrible things out of fear for these people. Burn them, submerge them," I had a horrified face on. Burning…. Oh god. "But they wouldn't die. So this race decided to hide themselves blend in with their rulers until only high ups knew about them. Now they just have fun and um…. They umm….. You…"

"They have sex?"

"Err, yes. That."

"But that's just a rumour!" I said.

"No. They are very much alive." He deadpanned. His eyes glossed a bit. "And they don't know about the gods."

I gasped. What? Why not?

"Even after the titan war, they didn't ask questions, I mean….." He paused. He frowned, twitching a little. I was starting to get a little worried until he continued.

"We have no choice. We have to get them."

Grover, who had been inexistent during the conversation, piped up.

"Quest time?" He asked slightly hopeful.

"Yes. I explain at dinner. Come, Melanie. Let's go."

"Dinner?" I asked hopefully. "I like food. Do you have pancakes?"

Chiron laughed. "Maybe. Come now, you have to meet the campers."
