Hello demigods, magicians and others! Here's your new chapter, (Why do people say chappie?) and it's a long. I'm sorry, as I'm pretty sure it's been more than one week, but hey, it's long! I hope you enjoy this chapter!

-ROC6

I'm bored. It's taking Annabeth forever to rig up the disk the Stolls copied the recording onto, so obviously they didn't do it right. The aforementioned brothers are sitting in front of me telling each other jokes, and while I'm usually all for jokes, I really want to know what's on the disk.

"Percy! Stolls! It's ready!" Annabeth calls over the Hermes' brothers' laughter.

She hits a button, and the computer starts playing a screeching noise. She sits down next to me, and after a moment, the screeching noise stops, and you can hear a voice speaking.

"Hullo, Sadie Kane here," the girl's voice begins in a slightly British accent, "I know you're probably wondering why we- Erm, my boyfriend Walt and I-"

Annabeth nudges me, "See? Even she can get her grammar right."

"crashed your weird dragon-people-burning ceremony. [Ow, Carter just slapped me and said not to call you weird, brothers, am I right?]"

Both Stolls snorted at this one.

"Well, for awhile now my brother and I have sensed strange magical readings coming from Long Island, and since we defeated Apophis about a month ago-"

"Hey," I commented, realizing something, "That's right about when we defeated Gaea."

Annabeth looks thoughtful.

"We've slowly been working on removing all evil and unexplainable magic. Long Island is one of the few close places we had yet to investigate, and because I felt like having an easy day, I decided now was the time to visit. So me and Walt-"

"Nevermind," Annabeth sighs, probably about the grammar.

"[Carter says it's Walt and I, but I don't care] got dressed in some of our linens, and we set off. if you're wondering 'why linen?', well, it helps conduct our magic."

My Wise Girl starts to wonder out loud, "Magic?"

"So we went to our sphinx with our baboon, whom was coming with, and I opened a portal that dropped us just outside of some woods, as apparently your home is strong enough that I can open a portal directly to it, -"

"Portals," I muse, and contrary to Thalia, I actually do think, "Kind of like Nico's shadow traveling.

Crinkling her nose in the cute way she does when she's thinking deeply about something, Annabeth looks as if her mind is going a mile a minute.

"-which is awesome. Unfortunately, your magical defenses are so bloody strong, we spent over an hour charming it and breaking inside. Not that there's anything bad about it, it's just really annoying. Really.

"Yeah, for monsters and mortals," I comment, and Annabeth looks worried.

"So anyway, finally, we stepped through, and it felt as if the whole place didn't want us there. We walked through the woods, investigating anything that may seem suspicious. Occasionally, we would hear growling, or catch glimpses of green skinned girls running through the trees."

"I wonder what the dryads were doing?" Annabeth asks nobody in particular.

I roll my eyes at her question. She would.

"At one point there was growling really close to us, and we went to take a look at what the creature that was making the sound was.

Connor and Travis both snort, and Connor explains, "Never do that, we learned the hard way."

"It was this massive, black scorpion, and when Walt and I tried to hex it, our magic had no effect. So, we did what any sane person would do. We ran. Walt was talking with his inner god, you know, Anubis,-"

A flash of realization passes over Annabeth's face, before she starts glaring at my door.

"-and muttering something in Anubis' voice about how we shouldn't be there. As we ran we saw more of the green skinned girls, and even a couple blue skinned ones when we ran past a river. As we ran, more monsters began to chase us. Walt threw down some of his amulets, summoning all sorts of beasts. When we finally reached the edge of the woods, we saw a group of people, that's you guys, burning a giant metal dragon and two human sacrifices."

Suddenly, the CD starts skipping, and Annabeth walks over to the laptop. When she pulls out the CD she glares at the Stolls, "I asked for a disc that worked!"

The Stolls grin at the paint staining the middle of the CD, and walked over and took it. They then squirt something onto the CD, and the paint disappears. Annabeth glares at them, but goes to play the remaining part of the recording.

"Then, everyone saw the monsters and started charging and going crazy. Somehow, amongst all this chaos Walt and I got separated. A black haired, emerald eyed boy that kind of reminded me of Harry Potter-"

"Who?" I ask.

Annabeth sighs and shakes her head, "Don't you read Seaweed Brain?"

"Not usually, no," I respond, knowing she won't like the answer.

She glares at me before melting under the force that is my baby seal face, "Harry Potter is a black haired green eyed wizard that stars in a seven book series and has a lightning bolt scar on his forehead."

I nod, "Obviously I'm not him. I have a lot of scars, but no forehead bolts."

Annabeth nods and leans into me. The Stolls are snickering about something over in the corner.

"except hotter. He wore an orange CHB shirt, jean shorts, and a leather necklace. [No, Carter, you cannot tell Walt that, otherwise I'll tell Zia you were eyeing up the frizzy redhead visiting from the private school.] He had power coming off of him in waves, about as much as Carter. In fact, the whole place reeked of magic. He charged at me carrying a bronze sword, much like Carter and his khopesh."

"What?" I asked Annabeth.

"An Egyptian sword."

"I didn't want to hurt him so I summoned some water and blasted him. Unfortunately, the water didn't seem to affect him at all. He was completely dry still and if anything was running faster. I threw my wand at him, hoping he'd fall unconscious or something, but he ducked and continued charging. I fingered my shen amulet, and told Walt what was happening before teleporting him over to me."

"How?" Annabeth murmured.

"Then I started focusing on my connection with Isis."

I opened my mouth to comment, but Annabeth beat me to it, "Isis and Anubis are Egyptian gods."

"The charging boy was just about here so I knew I had to hurry. She answered me after a moment, and I convinced her to open a portal through the duat to the Brooklyn house. She accepted very quickly once she saw the situation. We jumped in just in time."

There's a sound like the microphone is switching hands, before a new, accent free voice comes on, "Hello! It's Carter. You didn't think I'd force you to listen to Sadie the whole time, did you? Anyway, here's some stuff you should know about us."

Annabeth holds up a hand, "Please don't interrupt, I want to hear this."

The Stolls close their mouths.

"We are magicians of the twenty first nome, which is in Brooklyn. It's the giant mansion on top of the warehouse. You'll find it. According to both Sadie and Walt, you all are a very powerful, very magical bunch. Visit us, and we'll hopefully be able to clear things up and maybe even teach you how to control your magic. Of course, Amos won't be here with the whole Chief Lector thing, and then I have to attend to some pharaoh business, and everyone has school… But someone will be here and they'll explain. Please pay us a visit at the Brooklyn nome!"

The laptop clicks, showing the recording has ended.

Annabeth turns to the Stolls, "You two should go back to the Hermes Cabin before they discover you're missing."

The Stolls leave and as we're getting ready for bed, Annabeth looks downright murderous, and keeps repeating over and over, "How could Chiron not tell me?"
