Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson

So this chapters pretty short, hopefully the next one will be longer. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Percy had been traveling with the hunters for several hours now and he was bored. "So where is this new refuge?"

Annabeth rolled her eyes, "Its in the north Appalachians. I haven't been there in a long time, but they are still holding out as far as I've heard."

They walked in silence again when Percy asked, "So do you want to tell me anything that I should know about myself?"

That is how they spent most of the trip. Percy would describe a broken memory to Annabeth and she would fill in the details until the Percy remembered it fully.

It took them several days because most major cities were destroyed. As they came closer they could see that monsters and enemy demigods surrounded the camp. Percy wanted to fight them right then, but Annabeth thought they should get to the camp in a way that would get them noticed the least and then find out what was going on and form a plan. Percy didn't like it, but maybe it would be better this way.

They decided to wait until it got dark to get in, they engaged in little battles, and they watched and waited. The strange thing was at dusk all fighting stopped on both sides, and Percy and the hunters snuck into the camp borders.

Annabeth took Percy to see Chiron.

"Chiron smiled when he saw Annabeth. "It has been so long. It's good to see one of my students is alive and well."

Percy saw Chiron, and forgetting to introduce himself he asked, "What is going on? Why has the fighting stopped?"

Chiron looked over at the demigod, "And who is this?"

Annabeth cut in, "Chiron, this is Percy."

Percy started to think any time there was a reference to him it would be greeted with silence, but Chiron looked him up and down and asked, "Where have you been?"

A little embarrassed Percy replied, "I was with Calypso until recently when I made my way to New York and then to Camp Half Blood to discover it destroyed, but right now I am really confused. Why has the fighting stopped?"

"Chiron looked at him, "I see, well we have made an agreement to not fight at night so each side can rest up and prepare for battle in the morning."

Percy looked at Annabeth, he figured that between the two of them they could create a battle plan to buy time for the young demigods to truly recover. "Lets talk battle strategy."

All of the head counselors were there along with the hunters and Percy and Chiron. They were arguing about many different battle strategies and it was getting into the early morning. Everyone was tired and discussing battle plans wasn't helping the matter. An idea came to Percy probably out of desperation and he said, "We all need to get some rest, tomorrow we're are going with my idea. I'm going to call forth a champion from them to battle me, during this time Annabeth you need to work with your brothers and sisters from the Athena cabin and the children of Hepheastus do whatever you can for the camps defenses. Everyone else needs to be taking this time to recover, and work on a good battle strategy. Oh and one more thing, I'm going to be needing a weapon."
