Hello friends.

Yes, I have indeed written another chapter. Be proud.

I'm not so sure about this chapter, people were requesting action and mystery so I did my best. Again, if I get a ton of reviews on this chapter I may write another, so it really is in your best interest to review this and tell me how I did with this.

I hope you are surprised and pleased by this and the strange things that happen in this chapter. The characters are a little OOC so don't judge me too harshly.

Thanks for all the reviews, subscriptions and ideas for the stories and I'm sorry for ignoring you for... how long? About 4 months.

Thank you for being patient and you can read now.

Hazel's POV

Leo lead the group over to the ship where a massive bronze trapdoor thudded down to meet them. Hazel glanced at Frank who, to her surprise, was already looking at her.

'What's wrong?' Frank had noticed that Hazel was looking uneasy about the ship.

'Oh, it's nothing. Just Sammy- I mean, Leo.'

Frank and Hazel hadn't had a chance to talk to Leo, but Hazel wasn't so sure she wanted to. She was nervous about greeting her "old friend" but Frank was determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. Hazel sighed, although the anticipation of battles to come were nerve racking, Hazel was quite happy with Frank by her side, walking through a warship, behind the other five.

The ship was all Celestial Bronze, the walls, the floor and even the ceilings, so it was sort of like wandering through a maze of mirrors. Annoying, but fascinating.

Jason slowed down to chat with them and introduce himself to Frank, who arrived just after Jason went missing. After all the introductions Jason turned back to Hazel and put his arm around her, not in a romantic kind of way, but the way a big brother would put his arm around a sister.

'Hazel, I missed you.'

'I missed you too, Jase.'

Meanwhile, Leo/Sammy was giving the group a big, cocky tour, mostly the things that he constructed or worked on, then Piper would swop in and point out other things that Leo missed, because they didn't include his ideas or cabin's work. Hazel found that funny and disturbingly like Sammy.

They came across the bunker, where Hazel noticed Annabeth frown and whisper something to Leo. Leo, in turn shook his head in... Confusion?

Annabeth and Leo, walked over to one of the shelves that were lined with crates and boxes and both pulled a box off each.

'What are they doing?' She asked Frank.

He shook his head, 'Dunno.'

Leo and Annabeth nodded to each other and mouthed, one, two, three and ripped off the lids.

Two heads Hazed had never seen before popped up over the edge of the boxes. The first had curly brown hair, brown eyes and mischievous, yet guilty look in his eyes.

The second, however, had jumped out of the box before she'd even finished surveying the first head. This one was a girl. She had stringy, murky brown hair and was ripped with muscles through her sleeveless orange tee. She had a scowl on her face and immediately, Hazel knew she would never mess with this girl. That was, if Annabeth let her live.

Annabeth had murder in her eyes and Percy was wide eyed and staring at the stowaways.

'Travis Stoll!' Annabeth roared, turning towards the boy. He shrank back and stepped out of the box.

'Sorry?' Travis guessed.

'Clarrise, what in the world are you doing here?' Annabeth shouted.

'Look Princess, we came because we were worried about you. Ok?' Clarrise said, while Travis nodded vigorously. 'The Romans are known for their misunderstanding for giant war ships landing in their backyards. So sorry for backing you up incase of war.'

Jason, Hazel and Frank looked offended and Clarrise nodded in their direction, noticing the others for the first time. 'But clearly, that didn't happen.'

But before Annabeth could yell anymore Percy punched Clarrise lightly on the arm and hugged Travis.

'Is anyone else here?' Percy said excitedly, scanning the boxes.

Before Travis could answer, Annabeth butted in.

'Well I suppose you can't go anywhere without Conner. Where is he? And the rest?'

Sadly, Travis pointed to the box on his left. 'Dude, come out. They ratted us out.' He said loudly. And suddenly, three more boxes popped open revealing more kids in orange t-shirts. The others introduced themselves as Conner, son of Hermes, Malcom, son of Athena (Annabeth yelled when she saw him there) and Rachel Dare, the Oracle of Delphi (which Percy looked pretty happy about). Percy hugged each of the newcomers and despite Annabeth's glares, they laughed and shouted his name.

The tour was cancelled, much to Leo's despair, but Percy insisted that Reyna meet the newcomers and she would be understanding and welcoming. Annabeth wasn't so sure, she warned Percy that she may not understand the intentions and Octavian would use it to his advantage, to tell his followers that they had brought people to use for war.

Percy shrugged it off and began telling the others what the camp was like. Clarrise, however, seemed to know her way around the ship and stormed out of the bunker.

'Wait Clarrise!' Annabeth called and hurried after her.

They walked through the rest of the ship, peering into doorways and admiring the workmanship. As Frank went off to talk to Piper and Leo (not about Sammy, Hazel had told him she wasn't ready to talk about that yet), Hazel sped up to talk to Percy, who was laughing with Rachel the Oracle.

'- and the whole maths class was looking at me, like I just dropped from the sky. But what do you expect? Anyway, I rang Chiron straight away and he manipulated the mist so my maths class just thought I passed out, not gave a prophecy.' Rachel finished.

Percy laughed loudly and patted Hazel on the shoulder.

'Rachel. This is Hazel Levesque. She came with me on our quest along with Frank Zhang.'

'Nice to meet you, Hazel.' Rachel said, holding out her hand.

Hazel shook it and smiled back at her, 'Has Percy told you about Octavian?'

'No... Who's he?'

'He's Camp Jupiter's prophet, I guess.'

'A boy oracle?' Rachel said, looking confused.

'No, he doesn't come up with prophecies, just... Well it's confusing.' Hazel decided.

'Ah, ok then, I'll have a talk with him then.'

'Rachel, I don't think that's such a good idea.' Percy said.

'Percy, I got it.' Rachel told him as they came to the end of the ship.

They led the others out to a strange silence over Camp Jupiter.

'What-' Hazel started.

'Annabeth? Clarrise?' Percy said, as he noticed the two standing very still, facing away from them. In fact, the whole camp was standing still, facing towards something, in the middle of the field.

Percy started forward and Hazel strained her neck to see what was going on.

'C'mon.' Percy urged the group.

Leo jogged up to Annabeth and followed her gaze. 'I don't get it...' Leo said but before he could indulge in his confusion Annabeth snatched his hand and whispered, 'Shhh!'

The campers looked frightened and gestured Percy and Hazel over to the centre of the ring they had formed. Percy, already ahead of Hazel reached the circle first and muttered, 'Wow.'

Standing proudly, in the middle of the ring was Pegasus. Not a pegasus. The real one. The first pegasus. The very same one that Hercules rode on his quest.

'What is he doing there?' Jason asked.

'Nobody knows.' Reyna replied, from the other side of the ring.

Yay. That was terrible. I was working on that for a while though.

No flames, just constructive criticism.

Farewell friends.

Review me.
