A/N-Reviews! Now I've kept you waiting long enough...tell me if any of this confuses you. R&R


Annabeth's Pov-

"No, I'm not your son." Percy said through clenched teeth. I didn't dare say anything.

My eyes were fixated on Calypso who was staring back. I saw a look of pure jealously flash through her almond eyes.

She had long, caramel colored hair and donned a white, sleeveless, Greek-style dress with a low circular neckline trimmed in sea-green. She was downright gorgeous and suddenly, I felt like I should've brushed my hair a bit better.

"First things first, Jackson." Luke/Kronos shoved Calypso towards my friend. "Here's your girlfriend, all she does is say 'Percy's going to come for me, ' Percy this, Percy that. It's maddening."

Percy caught her and held his sword out, ready to strike.

Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades pointed their weapons at their father.

"Leave. Now." Zeus commanded.

"Don't worry-I'll go, just need to explain things first. I won't hurt anyone. Promise on Styx." For a second he sounded like Luke but I knew better. Kronos was a monster and Luke was a traitor.

"Seven minutes." Hermes looked at his son.

"Do you know what essence is, Percy?" Kronos circled Percy and Calypso like a predator.

"Essence comes from the Latin word, essentia. It is the intrinsic nature or indispensable quality of someone or something. You can give essence into to something or someone then they are created." Percy answered immediately. I had a feeling he had heard the term somewhere else before.

"Exactly. So when Chaos created you, he needed essence. So he took some from a Greek goddess and demigod who were going to have a child-they didn't know that they were going to, anyway." Kronos/Luke paused and looked at Percy.

"Now here's where it gets complicated.

You weren't supposed to be born fourteen (remember Percy is actually 14 but looks 16, for the prophecy.) years ago. You were supposed to be born 70 years ago; when the prophecy came. Chaos came and took your unborn soul (from the goddess and demigod.) and began creating you. Let's just say I arranged an 'accident' to happen to your father, and it delayed your existence. While everyone was distracted, I snuck in and put half of my essence in you. Then you were created with my essence and your unborn essence in you. Thus technically, you're my son."

Percy sat down and his sword clattered to the floor.

Poseidon shoved his trident up Kronos' throat.

Kronos/Luke understood and started to exit.

His eyes turned back to blue and before leaving he said, "Listen to Kronos, Percy. Your biological parents wouldn't have kept you; Lord Kronos is a better parent." The titan left in a golden flash of light.

Percy held Calypso's hand-my eyes flashed.

"I'm sure your parents wouldn't have abandoned you." Nico tried.

"If they had a choice-they would've kept me. It's okay, it's better that they didn't know I was coming." Percy started to nod off.

"You know who they are?" I asked.

"A good idea..." Percy closed his eyes.

Before the gods left my mother looked at me; as if to say 'find out as much as you can.' With that the gods flashed out.

"Who are they?" Thalia asked.

Percy sighed and looked at us,

"Artemis and Orion."
