Sadie's P.O.V:

I glared at Lightning. "You haven't told them? That we're Egyptian. And that we're magical." I had a feeling Lightning knew.

Lightning cleared his throat. "Percy and Annabeth, meet Sadie and Carter Kane, Egyptian magicians. They are part of the House of Life, and perform magic spells. Magic is in their blood. They're like Hecate children with Egyptian faces."

Percy blinked. "So there are Egyptian gods? Well that's nice. So you guys, do you guys get wedgies too like the ancient Egyptians?

Carter slid his no comment face. And I was like, "Seriously?"

"Nah. We're more civilized than them. At least I am. Carter's the one that wore a skirt to look Egyptian. "

Haha. Carter got busted. At least I got that pic of him in the skirt on my cell. I could text it to everyone. Mwahahahaha!

Carter blushed. "So you guys are Greeks? Do you guys eat salad every day?"

Annabeth laughed. "No. We eat normal things. I love hot dogs in New York. Amazing!"

My eyes got wide. "OMG! I love hot dogs too. Except most hot dog vendors sulk in Manhattan. We can't go there. I wonder why." I craned my neck to look at the gods who were looking pretty sheepish. At least Lightning was.

Lightning stood up again. Boy, that guy liked to be the boss. Big daddy. Big Ugly. Whatever.

"You have been called to Olympus to unite. The fate of the world depends on it. A long time ago, the pantheons vowed never to speak of each other again until a time of crisis. And a time of great crisis has come now. If the Greeks and Egyptians unite, we will be able to defeat Gaea and Apophis. When your enemies join forces, you must too. Strength is in numbers. Let us unite."

I yawned. "Sure, whatever you say. Yeah, we've just defeated Apophis with Ra's help, and I was hoping I could get some sleep but...yeah. This should be a piece of cake.

Percy agreed with me too. "We defeated Gaea, hoping it would end, but now you guys drop this bombshell on us. I don't know this Apophis dude, but he shouldn't a be a biggy."

Annabeth raised her eyebrows. "You're kidding me? Apophis is real too? What is the problem with you people? How will we EVER defeat both Gaea and Apophis?"

Carter muttered softly, "Maybe we won't."

He thought no one heard him. But everyone did. Yeah, we were probably doomed.
