Not a chapter but those of you who read my author notes know that I was going to do this. Sorry to those of you who don't but the next update will be a chapter.
Okay so I know I said I'd do a breakdown of what was going to happen in the series, as in the whole series and not just this 'book', but I don't really feel like doing it and who knows what I'm going to change in the future. Instead I'm going to do a recap of the last 'book' as well as a very short and rough timeline of the series. If you wish to skip this part I have questions near the body of the page that's I like as many people as possible to answer just so I get some audience feedback.
The Hunt Twins, The Beginning
Percy and Annabeth are both seven years old in this and have been living with Artemis and her hunt since there were infants. Besides being adopted by Artemis they have been blessed by Hades, Hestia and Apollo which has resulted in a change of their physical appearance. These gods are the only other gods who know of their existence (or at least that's what you think. I may be lying. Or am I? I actually haven't decided). Annabeth and Percy have been trailed since they could walk to fight and being around a god for long periods of time has mentally matured them and allowed them to advance in their training faster then mortals and most demigod. Not to mention the extra stills they get from being blessed by several gods. Neither of them have completely grown into their powers and even when they do the amount of power they use will be limited by their mortal bodies. So they won't be like unstoppable overpowered. The two of them eventually have to leave the hunt and end up running into Luke, Thalia and Clarisse and end up bonding and becoming like their own little family. Grover was later added, though more for Annabeth since they didn't know him for that long before Percy was truned into a tree. When Percy was goin gto dye and was turned into a tree it stopped him from going to the underworld and Annabeth has a deep believe that she'll be able to bring him back and they can be a family again.
Ages 7-9
After Percy is turned into a tree Annabeth is left alone without her brother for the first time in her memory and while she does have the others it's not the same and for the first couple of months she starts to distance herself from them and the other campers. During this time Annabeth finds great comfort in Hestia who spends a lot of her time at camp in the fire by the cabins. Eventually, with Hestia's guidance, Annabeth started to really settle in at camp. She gets along with the Apollo cabin and often joins them when during her free time in the archer range. Annabeth also has become close to her biological siblings in the Athena cabin and while they don't know that their related they do think she's extremely smart for her age and often have educational debates with her. While Annabeth is close with the Athena cabin she still hates the goddess and always manages to subtly refuse going into their cabin when invited. Because of Annabeth's unknown parentage she was placed into the Hermes cabin and became the unofficial consoler for all unclaimed children, meaning her shows them around and makes them feel welcome. Druiing this time Annabeth has not given up and the hope of finding a way to bring her brother up and from time to time has gotten the Athena cabin and Apollo cabin to help her look through old historical and medical texts.
The Hunt Twins, The Sea of Monsters
Annabeth is now nine and has been at camp for two years and Percy is still a tree. She has figured out, that at least theoretically that the Golden Fleece could bring her brother back and is now just waiting for a way to convince Chiron to let her go on a quest to find it. This comes in the worst way possible when Percy's tree is poisoned and the camp boarders start to fail. Annabeth, by using her knowledge and determination, convinced Chiron that she need to lead the quest and picked Thalia, Luke, Clarisse and Grover as her companions, mainly because she knows and trusts them but also because they need an 'iron ship with warriors of bone' which is a ship that Ares gifted his children and no one but one of his children can use it. Grover is also needed because it is theorized that the Golden Fleece turned any land it is placed upon into paradise, which a Satyr would sense, just like they would the location of the great god Pan. As for what's going to happen on the quest, you'll find out.
The Hunt Twins Third instalment is set two years after The Sea of Monsters and I have roughly planned what I want to happen but I'm not going to spoil it so you'll just have to wait. I can say that Luke may have the scar he has in the actually series, whether that happens during The Sea of Monsters or during the two year time skip, I have yet to decide. This instalment will start with Annabeth being 11 and end with her being 12 since it spans over a year.
The Hunt Twins Fourth instalment takes placed directly after the Third one and when I say directly I mean that not everything will be concluded in the Third one because they'll get sidetracked on during the Fourth one and have to put stuff on hold. You may get a few surprises in this one and new characters introduced.
I may do a mini instalment of short stories of the year skips as well as maybe having Annabeth and Percy go to a mortal school and how they adapt to that.
The Hunt Twins Fifth instalment is either going to take place 1 year or 3 years after the Fourth instalment depending on what ends up happening and how everything comes together. In other words Annabeth will either be 13 or 15. This one will mainly be a set up for the Sixth instalment, which is, at least for now the last one. I haven't decided if I'm going to being in the Giant War or not.
The Hunt Twins Sixth instalment takes place a year after the Fifth instalment making Annabeth either 14 or 16 and is the final one for The Hunt Twins series. I may be bringing the characters back for the whole Giants/Gaia thing but that depends on if you guys want that and how the Sixth instalment ends.
QUESTIONS (Questions In Bold)
-Do you guys want Tyson to be introduced in the series?
-Who do you want Annabeth to end up with? I was originally going to go with Nico but I had decided on that before we found out her was gay. Then I had been like, he could be bi and like Annabeth still but I really like him and Will together. In other words, do you want Nico with Annabeth or Will?
-Do you guys want Thalia and Luke to end up together?
-Do you want Luke to live through the series? I want to know because currently I kind of want to kill off but I've also planned roughly what would happen if I didn't and I liked that too so it's up to you.
-If I do kill Luke off do you want Thalia to join the hunt? Just so you know the soonest I'd kill Luke off would be in the Fourth instalment.
-I am going to introduce Nico and Bianca and I haven't decided if Bianca is going to join the hunt, so do you guys want her to?
-Is there any ides or suggestions you have for my story? I love hearing from people and learinng what they are hoping is going to happen, and who knows, if I hit a road block or write myself into a corner it could be an idea I could use to help me out.
-Do you want Luke to receive the scar he has in the actual series or should I keep him scare less?
-If that last question was a yes, do you want the orgin of the scar to be pretty much the same as the actual series, with only a few changes or do you want me to do it in the Sea of Monsters?
-Do you want me to go into the Giants story line or do you want to me wait until I'm done this series before I ask you guys?
-Do you like me having these questions for you guys and the whole timeline/information thing above? Would you like me to do one of these in each instalment, mainly so I can get some questions answered and you can have a rough recap of what happened in the last one so you don't have to go back and read it all if you've forgotton?
-Any other things you'd like to tell me or that?
If I have any more questions I'll be putting them at the end of future chapters.
I'd also like to deeply thank those that reviewed on my last chapter. I was quiet worried that you guys wouldn't like it as much and I'm really glad that those of you who did review did enjoy it. So yeah, thanks. See you next time.
