Guess what everyone! I woke up on my birthday! Exciting, right? And do you want to know what happened as soon as I woke up? Come on, guess. Nothing. Absolutely nothing happened. At all. The only person who I saw that morning was Annabeth, who came in to give me a fudge-flavored drink. She wouldn't even look me in the eyes. I heard a lot of yelling outside the door, too, but I wasn't supposed to leave. Keyword: supposed. So I did anyway. It was Percy who was yelling, and he looked really mad. Like, I'm-going-to-rip-your-head-off-mad. So, I just stood there, not sure what was going on.

"Percy, calm down. The summer solstice is tomorrow. Why not go and - calmly - ask about it." Annabeth reasoned to him. "Dia!" She scolded when she saw me. "You're not supposed to be up. How's your head?" She asked, walking over to me.

Truthfully, it hurt like nothing I'd ever felt before. "It's fine. Why's Percy so mad?" I asked her.

"It's your birthday today, isn't it?" Percy asked. He still seemed pretty angry. That made my temper flare up as well.

"Yeah, thanks for reminding me, that's really what I want to hear when I wake up: 'It's your birthday but no one felt like claiming you. Too bad! Have fun being unclaimed for the rest of your life!'" I yelled at him. That made my head hurt more, and I put my hand on the wall to steady myself.

"Dia, that's what Percy is mad about, too. You see, the gods gave Percy a wish and he asked that they claim their children before their thirteenth birthday. So your mother broke that oath. Percy's going to politely" She stared at him pointedly "confront the gods about it, and then you'll know who your mother is, okay." I glared at both of them for a minute, then nodded.

The next day, we boarded into a car and drove into New York City. I wasn't sure why we were going there to see the gods, but I figured I should just stay quiet. We were dropped off by the driver (who had eyes all over him!) in front of the Empire State Building. I followed Percy, Annabeth, Kent, and a few other campers who were all at least a year older than me into the building. Percy went up to the guy at the front desk, and then came back with a card in his hand. We loaded into the elevator, which was a really tight squeeze, and rode the the 600th floor. You see, according to everyone at camp, that's where is. It was kinda awkward as we went up, because I knew everyone was staring at me, because I was the reason for Percy's rage.

Olympus is beautiful. I can't even begin to describe it, but just the way it is. I didn't get to admire it very much, because Percy and Annabeth were leading us to our destination at a very fast pace. Our destination was the throne room. In there were the gods, all really big and scary looking. I hid behind a tall boy in the group, hoping to not be noticed at all. Percy stormed into the middle of the U shape of thrones. "You broke your oath." He stated firmly. They all stared at him

"What is the meaning of this?" The guy in the middle, who looked like he was in charge, exclaimed

"Percy." A man who looked like the boy he was adressing warned.

"Dia." Percy motioned to me. I stood there, what was I supposed to do, waltz in there? Ha. All of the campers pushed me forward and I took to hiding behind Percy instead. "She turned thirteen years old yesterday and she hasn't been claimed." He said, still using that mad-but-even tone. "You swore an oath to claim your children. So, who's her mother?"

The gods were murmuring to each other, craning their necks to get a better look at me.

"Come here, child." The head guy boomed at me. I figured he was Zeus, who was the leader of the gods. "Well, who claims her?" He asked, as if I weren't right there.

"I do." A woman on a throne to the side said.
