The small dark boy didn't talk much.

He just inclined his head and smiled so softly Magnus almost missed it.

"Nice to meet you, Magnus. I'm Nico."

He held out his hand "You ready?"

"Sure" Magnus said reaching for Nico's hand "Let's see the Greek Valhalla"

"The Greek what?" Percy asked as they all disappeared from the Boston street…

….and found themselves in a wooded clearing. A huge pine lay in front of them.

"Woah" Magnus coughed. "That was new"

"Nico smirked "never shadowtraveled before?"

"No...but I did climb a giant tree with a rather rude squirrel"

Nico cocked his head "You have an….interesting cousin, Annabeth.

He smiled as he saw a blond boy waving at them.

Then he was all smiles. "See you guys. Hey! Will!"

He ran off and Annabeth laughed almost affectionately. "Okay, Magnus, this is Half-Blood Hill….we'll be at camp soon."

"Camp?"

And indeed the buildings surrounding them as they walked forward were exactly like cabins in a summer camp, except they had things like magically growing flowers or barbed wire.

"This place is small" Magnus said finally.

Percy snorted. "Small? We have three hundred kids here!"

"Uh...not to be a downer dude, but Valhalla has that many plus about fifty million."

Before Percy could respond, a pretty dark skinned girl came up to meet them. Like Annabeth she had a jagged sword at her hips.

"Piper!" Annabeth grinned and ran up to hug the girl. "Piper this is my cousin Magnus."

The girl smiled perfect white teeth at him, and he felt grateful he no longer looked like a homeless kid.

"Uh...hi..."

He was spared having to come up something more witty than "Uh hi" because a man in a wheel chair came up to greet them.

"Chiron" Annabeth was instantly more formal "This is Magnus, son of Frey. My cousin."

Chiron closed his eyes. "Ah, yes. I was wondering when you would find him again. Your family deals with many gods."

"Yeah, what's this about Greek gods?" Magnus asked.

"You can get Magnus acquainted at dinner. Go off to the pavillion, you four."

"Thanks, Chiron , but we already ate" Annabeth said.

"I haven't" Percy argued.

"I could eat" Magnus decided.

Annabeth sighed.

The eating pavilion was no Valhalla but it was nice.

Magnus was putting a mental order for more felafel when a blond boy came and joined them, introducing himself as Jason Grace.

"The one who passes out a lot?" Magnus asked. Jason frowned at Annabeth.

"What have you been telling him about me?"

Just then a Latino boy with smoking sooty clothes and safety goggles came up and sat down.

"Gods, I could eat the minotaur" he grunted.

Magnus looked at his rough hands "You a craftsman?"

The boy looked at him with half a hamburger in his mouth. "You A'b'th c'in?" he swallowed "You Annabeth's cousin? Yeah, I'm a blacksmith. I'm Leo."

"Magnus. My friend Blitzen would love to meet you."

The boy raised his eyebrows "Blitzen? You friends with Rudolph too?"

"What would Blitz like?"

They all turned around. A caramel skinned girl in a green hijab was standing on the hill.

"Sam?" Magnus asked "What are you doing here?"

"Saving your butt"
