Chapter 2

Kronos's POV

I was excited in an evil way. Trying to calm myself, I walked over to my throne room. I started to fire orders. Just then, my lieutenant walked into the room. His face was twisted, as if he was to ask a question. And he was. "What will we do with the mortal when we have finished phase one?" "She will be part of phase two," I replied. "Now bring me my magic workers!"

Phase one was complete. Now all we had to do was wait for a little while- about 5 years. Then phase two would start. All would be perfect after this.

5 YEARS LATER

Percy's POV

Things were new at Camp Half-Blood. There were a lot of new demigods. We got some new cabins- for instance, Iris, the rainbow goddess, and the sleep God Hypnos. There were people like Butch, son of Iris, and Leo, son of Hephaestus, the blacksmith god, and Jason, the son of Zeus. And one more (because I could go on forever), Piper, the daughter of Aphrodite. I personally thought she was kind of cute, but I was already dating Annabeth.

My biggest problem was sleep. I've been having the same dream for the last two months. I've never told anyone because it's creepy in an annoying sort of way. It's always about Kronos. Now it was about some kid. Then I remembered the strange dream I had five years ago. I think that my dreams now relate to the other from one five years ago. the memories flooded back to me, and suddenly I wished I hadn't thought about what I did. I'll go talk to Rachel, I decided. I headed off to find her.
