{Hello our glorious audience. Sorry about the delay, school is one giant hell and I left the document at school over the summer. Enjoy this next segment written by me; Fallenangels. The next chapter will be written by the both of us. Anything to add OfOlympus?}

[NO FLAMES!]

Percy's POV

So yeah. My conference with Reyna happened. I could tell she didn't like me much, as if I'd done something in the past. If I did, heck, I couldn't remember. When I woke up a month ago, all I could remember was my name, the ancient gods are real, and the name Annabeth. I was 85% positive I didn't know of an Annabeth, but none the less, I knew of her name. Reyna had sent me to the Augury so see what fate the gods had for me. As I exited the forum, I saw a shadow tethered to no one, but I prayed to the gods it was tame. I had to get to the augury without getting lost. Easier said than done. The town was totally bizarre. I quickly got lost in the labyri…maze. Not a labyrinth. Is there even a difference between a labyrinth and a maze? As I turned a corner into a dead end, I heard someone say

"You lost Seaweed Brain?" I turned to see where the voice originated from, but all I saw was the shadow again. Sensing the confusion on my face, a girl materialized in front of me. Wait not any girl. I recognized her as one of the sentries from the front of the camp.

Seaweed Brain? Catchy(No pun intended). "Um, I'm not lost, I'm just-"

"Lost" she interrupted. "You sir are a terrible liar. Where did Reyna send you?"

I was taken aback, Blondie here is feisty. "Uh, um she sent me to the augury"

"Oh great!" she said facetiously "You're going to love that vitulus*" something in my brain clicked. Great more Latin! "I can take you up there"

"You don't have to go out of your way for me."

"Oh I'm not. I actually enjoy helping the probatio. Follow me!" After following her for five minutes, she pointed me up the hill to a temple with lots of smoke

"Retrospect is a bitch." I mutter, and she grins, obviously have heard me. As we walk up to the temple I catch glimpses of mutilated… what are those. Sheep? Running around the temple was a scrawny blonde kid, but he looked familiar for some reason. When we were at the entrance, she yelled one word

"OCTAVIAN!" the skinny kid looked over and chuckled.

"Annabeth, the Parentless hero. What do you want?" Already, I hated this kid.

"Reyna sent this hero to 'Consult the gods.' Percy, meet Octavian."

"Like the emperor? Are you immortal too!? Because I can't handle another deity today." As he was thinking of a response, I looked over at Annabeth and couldn't think why I had remembered her name.

"So you've heard of my namesake. Unfortunately, I have yet to become immortal. So do you have a sacrifice for me to read your future?"

"Um, I don't thin"- Once again I was interrupted

Octavian had snuck up behind me and I didn't remember him move. I must have ADHD. He snatched the panda pillow pet out of the bag I got from the bargain mart.

"This will do just fine."

"Hey, that's mine! You can't just"- Annabeth reached over and clamped my mouth to, as she later put it, not burst his "Idiosyncratic Egotism" whatever that means. This distraction gave Octavian the perfect opportunity to gut my pillow. To get her away, I licked her hand. Octavian was facing us again and was grinning.

"I ship it! The gods say a nub like you can stay." Annabeth and I were shocked at his reaction, and gave him a collective glare.

"Go murder some plush animals and chant in Latin, you creighton" Annabeth scowled. At this Octavian only smirked. We walked off, or I did, and Annabeth stormed off and left me behind, however I was able to follow her to the dining hall. I sat by Frank and across from Hazel.

"So how was the augury?" Frank inquired

"Pretty good I suppose. He killed my Pillow Pet to say I could stay" I said sullenly. I looked up and noticed Hazel and Annabeth had food sitting in front of them. Frank sensed my quizzical nature and glanced at the plates and goblets. He bent in close and pulled back with food suddenly on his plate. I got the general idea and leaned to the goblet first

"Blue Coke" I leaned back, then grinned. This made me happy. Hazel became alert to my presence and said softly

"War games tonight." Ugh more things to be confused about

"Is that like 'capture the flag'?" Seeing the panic on Hazel's face, Annabeth jumped in and nodded.

"Something like that." We finished dinner in semi-silence. As we finished we headed the Armory and I noticed Frank had his hand in his pocket. I looked at him inquisitively and he looked back guiltily pulling out two vials of… blood? I realized that they could be spoils from the Gorgons. In the armory we each put on a set of armor. As Frank came over to help me with mine, he was impressed to find I was already done.

"Dude that's perfect. How do you know how… you know what. Never mind." As everyone finished, we headed off to the war games.

{That took way longer than necessary. Stupid Pun. The two of us will try to finish the next chapter by the end of the week. }
