Percy POV
Well, that was weird. This random girl heads straight through the middle of camp trailed by five kids, none of which I've seen before. Chiron welcomed them into the Big House like they were old friends. It was time for campfire, so I headed over, hoping I might find some answers.
When I got to the campfire all the campers had been squashed into one side. Weird. And there were the girl and the five other kids, along with a second, younger girl sitting at the head of nine. Artemis was there too with the hunters. What were they doing here?
"Who are they?" I asked Annabeth, who I was sitting next to. She shook her head.
"I don't know, but I think we're about to find out," she replied. Wow. Annabeth didn't know.
Reyna POV
It was a normal day at Camp Jupiter and it was time for evening muster. As everybody lined up, there was a shimmering and a young man appeared.
"I am Steven Gray, god of rainbows!" he yelled, frowning when this elicited no response. "Anyway, I have to take you to Camp Half-Blood, so here we go!"
"Wait, why-?" Octavian's question was cut off. All of a sudden, none of us could speak. We were sitting around the campfire at Camp Half-Blood, with Steven in front of us.
Nico POV
I was sitting in my room in Hades's palace. Innocent enough, right? Wrong. I was abducted by shadows (which was really sad, because I control shadows). I was deposited at camp, sitting next to the Romans at the campfire. Weird.
Percy POV
Well, the Romans and Nico just appeared. Weirder. The girl with the five visitors went up to the stage, followed by the second girl and a guy who had come with the Romans.
"My name is Lily White, but call me Ms. White. I am the Greek goddess of ice!" She announced really loudly. "This is Ivy Black, the Egyptian goddess of flames, and my husband Steven Gray, Roman god of rainbows!" Okay, she was just another crazy goddess. Great. But Egyptian gods? What? "If I could have the Marauders and Lily Evans come up please?" she asked, and the five kids she'd been escorting walked up to the stage.
Lily Evans POV
It was official. This girl was crazy. We walked up to the stage, and she put us in the front.
"Everybody, I have a very important announcement. These people are real wizards! With wands!" She called out. "Hold up your wands," she whispered to us, and we found our wands in our back pockets and held them up.
"Yeah right. We need proof!" called a boy from the crowd. I scowled.
"Shut up, Travis. Proof will be given after we introduce everybody," she retorted, and there were no more comments. "These are Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew!" We were ushered offstage, replaced with that 'Ivy' and her nine guests.
"These are Egyptian magicians. They use wands and staffs," she said. "Meet Carter Kane, Sadie Kane, Walt Stone, Zia Rashid, Alyssa, Julian, Jaz, Felix, and Shelby!" They were ushered offstage as well. Ms. White went back up again.
"The majority of the group here," she started, indicating half of the people, "are Greek demigods. We also have the Hunters of Artemis, and the Roman demigods." She indicated the other groups in turn. They appeared to be familiar with each other. "The reason I have gathered you all here today is something awful." She paused dramatically, "Our enemies have allied against us. Gaea, Apophis, and Voldemort have allied against us!" Well, Voldemort was already bad; now I guess he has even more power. Great. "Gaea is the evil, superpowerful earth goddess; Apophis is the embodiment of chaos, and extremely powerful as well. Voldemort is the most powerful dark wizard of this day and age. We believe that these three will continue to gather allies from all over the world, making an army we can't defeat on our own. So we'll gather allies as well – the enemies of theirs. I plan to use Camp Half-Blood as a base, and take a recruit team to find allies. This recruit team will find allies, and bring them here. It will consist of the Seven, Nico, Thalia, Carter Kane, Sadie Kane, Walt Stone, Zia Rashid, the Marauders, and Lily Evans. Those of you whose names or titles I just called, follow me. Malcolm and Katie, you two escort the remainder of our guests to the guest cabin. I think you'll find some… renovations." We followed her back to the big house, which a guy named Percy informed me was called the 'Big House'.
