DISCLAIMER: I am still not owning anything. I am not Rick Riordan.

Sadie leads me up a set of stairs. I don't really pay much attention to where I'm being led. Initiates rush to and fro. Some are clutching thick scrolls, and others are shouldering huge bags. Many stop what they are doing when they see me, and I ignore them.

We stop on the 4th floor, and Sadie opens the door to a room. "This is your room now."

I can only stare in amazement. The room is huge and absolutely amazing! There is a kitchenette, a queen-sized bed, and a balcony that overlooks the East River. "Wow! I haven't had a room of my own in a long time!"

"Isn't it great? I remember when I first came here. But back then, it was just Carter and me. Oh, yes. There is one more thing I almost forgot. You must sleep with your head on the headrest. I don't care how uncomfortable it is for you. Just do it. You won't want to travel around in chicken form in the Duat. And don't worry about fitting in. If you really are a child of 2 gods, then you'll be a natural!" With that, Sadie half-pushes me into the room and closes the door.

I sigh. This might take a while getting used to. At least I still have my cellphone with me. Pulling it out, I dial a number from memory. Rachel Elizabeth Dare's phone number. I know she's most likely in school, but I have to talk to someone who sort of understands my situation. She's the Oracle at camp, and a mortal. The phone rings twice before Rachel says, "Hello?"

"Hi, Rachel. It's Skye. You have no idea what happened today."

"Let me guess. Percy was acting like a doofus again, and Annabeth accidentally killed him?"

"No. However, I did discover who my godly parents are."

"Godly parents? But wouldn't you only have one?"

"No. It's too hard to explain. My mother is Athena and my father is Thoth."

"Thoth? The Egyptian god Thoth?" Rachel's voice is filled with disbelief, but in her voice's undertones, I can catch something of...awe.

"Yes."

"Are you a goddess, then?"

"No, I'm not. My father was sharing a body with a mortal. They're both my father."

"So you're not exactly a demigod?"

"More like three-fourths of a god."

"Where are you now?"

"I'm at the house of a friend, trying to figure out some things. I called you because I thought you might understand my predicament a little better than everyone else."

"Did Chiron say anything?"

"He was too shocked to say anything much. But he said that I'm dangerous. Really dangerous."

"Oh no," Rachel gasps. I hear a clatter over the line; she must have dropped her phone. Most likely, the Oracle wants to speak through her. I am right, as per usual.

"Skye Ellison, daughter of Athena, Thoth and Richard Ellison." Man, her Oracle voice is creepy. I suppress a shiver, until I realize this is over a cellphone. "You are the first Crossover. Your powers are extreme in all dimensions. You are almost as powerful as Kronos. But you must beware. Even the most powerful being on Earth can fall. Watch for the highest tide of the year without light. Look out for a shadow across Egypt."

The cell phone line disconnected, and started beeping. "Rachel? Are you there?"

No reply, which means that the connection broke naturally or it broke because of the Oracle being too near the electronic device. "Darn it!" I toss my phone onto the bed. What the heck is all that mysterious talk about being almost as powerful as Kronos? Kronos has been scattered across the universe as dust by Luke Castellan.
And the highest tide of the year without light? But the moon has to be full! Right?

I proceed to begin pacing my room, but find that my process is hindered by my Egyptian gown. I really want to take this thing off. But, I'm to do a little 'exploring' around the mansion first. If I really am as powerful as Rachel said, a little stroll through the mansion can't be dangerous, can it?

Of course I immediately lose my way around. I have no idea how to get to the first floor where I saw something that caught my eye. I am wandering hallways with no clue on how to find the staircase. Talk about a daughter of Athena.

There are so many trainees! They've stopped staring at me funny, but then again, I doubt any of them recognised me anyways. Being a slightly shy girl, I don't talk to any of them. I'm smart enough. I can figure out a way around. Thanks to my arrogance, I'm lost.

"Hey! You look lost. Are you new?" Someone asks me in a slightly mischievous voice.

I turn around in a full circle, but I don't see anyone. They must be using an invisibility spell. "Stop your invisibility spell at once! It's not nice frightening people who needn't be frightened."

"Yes! It worked!" The person sounds very pleased with himself. There was a ripple of air in front of me and a handsome boy of about my age appears. He has white-blonde hair and blue eyes even darker than mine. "That's a really cute dress you're wearing. Did you know it brings out your eyes?"

I flushed bright red. What was this boy doing, complimenting strangers? "Who are you? And what was that for? It wasn't very nice, you know!" I put my hands on my hips, waiting for an apology. I don't get one.

"Oh, I know! But I kind of had to do it. Sadie told me about you, Skye. She said to keep an eye on you."

Stalking me without permission. The nerve! "You know my name, so you might as well tell me yours."

"I'm Nolan. Don't worry; I swear I'm not a stalker."

I roll my eyes. "Are you always this infuriating?"

"Well, my mom says I am, but my little sister looks up to me greatly. She's here, too."

"Now that you've finished stalking me, can you help? I'm trying to get to the first floor. You know, the one with the huge statue?"

"Why don't I take you there instead? This place is huge, and if you got lost again…"

"Oh, fine." Why did he offer to take me to the first floor? He could have just given me directions! It's not like I'm an certified idiot or anything!
