"Perseus Jackson!" a hollow voice screamed, echoing throughout Camp Half-Blood. Percy jolted awake, his eyes wide. He knew the voice. It was Hades's, god of the underworld.
Percy stood from his bed, heart racing. He had just returned the lightning bolt, what now? Has it been stolen again?
"Perseus Jackson, I order you to meet me in the Big House, now! Or suffer eternal torture from the gods!" the god of the underworld cried out again. Hades sounded murderous, and Percy knew he wouldn't want a murderous, angry, psychopath Hades. Percy bolted from his cabin, and ran all the way to the Big House. He saw there a tall man with a dark, pale face and dark hair. His eyes were filled with flame.
Hades.
"Jackson, it seems you are always the one who causes trouble, eh? Now you cause trouble once more!" Hades growled, facing him.
"What did I do this time, Hades! I don't understand!" Percy yelled at him, not liking at all the tone Hades used.
"Of course I wouldn't expect a mortal like you to understand. But just so you know, you have a brother!" the god roared, "And I bet you have known of this since long ago! And you never told any of us! He could have been of use!"
Percy froze, shocked. As much as he didn't trust Hades, he couldn't comprehend what he just heard. He, Perseus Jackson, had a brother? Impossible!
"I-I have a brother?" he stammered, his anger slipping away by the second, "Who is he? Where is he? Is he in-"
"You ask many questions, child." said a familiar voice. Chiron's. "We do not know much of him, we have just received a letter today that he is in need of your assistance. Or at least his headmaster told me. Professor Albus Dumbledore, I think was the name."
Percy knew it. They were kidding him. A man named Dumb Old Door? Seriously?
"What kind of a joke is this, Chiron? Hades? It's not that funny you know." stated Percy, "I don't believe you. I don't have a brother."
Hades sighed and loomed over Percy, "It is proved you never knew you had one. But why have we been contacted only now! If you have a brother then he is a demigod!"
"Or Percy is a wizard." an old man's voice said. It came from the Big House. "I am Professor Albus Dumbledore. Greetings to you all."
"Where'd you come from? How did you get past the magical defenses?" asked Percy, astounded that this old man was able to get past the defense, but even more astounded that Professor Dumbledore was real. That meant that what Hades had said wasn't a lie. Percy really had a brother…
"I am a wizard and I have come to bring you home."
"Home? Camp Half-Blood is my home!" Percy objected, "I'm not leaving, not for the world."
"What if it means seeing your brother again?" Dumbledore retorted kindly. "Percy you have to leave, you, and your mother's friend, Sally."
"Mother's friend? She was more of a mother than my real one actually was!" Percy cried out, tears in his eyes. That meant his mother was dead, and Sally Jackson was not his real mother.
"I hardly think so, but you are coming whether you like it or not. You are destined to." Dumbledore said, a twinkle in his eyes, "You don't know how much Lily and James sacrificed themselves. You look like your father, but you don't have his or your mother's eyes. You have special ones."
So that explained why he didn't look like Poseidon or Sally-he meant mom. Sally would always be his mom. Never whoever this Lily person was. He was sure that Sally sacrificed herself more than Lily did.
"I know what you are thinking Perseus, but your mother is already at your aunt in Engand's home. We shall apparate to where she is now, I believe. Do you understand, Chiron, Hades?" Dumbledore asked. Chiron nodded and bowed, Hades just nodded.
Percy couldn't believe it! They were deciding on his fate!
"What about Annabeth, and Grover? I can't leave them behind!" Percy protested as Dumbledore took hold of his arm.
"I think it is best if you do not say farewell. It will do us better." Chiron stated, Dumbledore and Hades nodded in agreement. Dumbledore looked up, held Percy by the arm and muttered a few words. The whole world spun around in circles, and Percy blacked out..
