Percy's POV
Me and Leo were telling Chrono everything that was known about the Greek Gods and the two wars we fought in, he absorbed all the info like a sponge. He could memorise everything, we knew he was no demigod, since he told us he was top of his class, just horrible at sports. We were talking about how Apollo was cast down for the second time when I noticed the time. It was 5pm, Chrono should be going now.
"Hey Chrono, shouldn't you be going now?" I asked him.
"Nah, my family doesn't like me, so they don't mind if I stay the night somewhere else, as long as I don't cause trouble. So, talking about that, do you mind me spending the night here?" He replied. What? Chrono's parents don't care where he is and they don't like him?
"Yeah, you can stay here, but isn't it going to be a problem?" Leo said.
"No, I just need to call them, we are leaving in two days anyway, so I might as well enjoy myself without my two brothers picking on me." He answered like it was an everyday thing. His family sounds like the underworld.
"Ok, did you call them?" I asked as I recovered from my shock of the reality of Chrono's life, where he was alone.
"I texted them, they said ok, but to come to the hotel for some things for my overnight stay here. So, do any of you want to come with, since I don't know my way around?" He replied smoothly.
"Yeah, sure, I'll come with." I told him with a grin.
"Ok, they are staying at the Refinery Hotel." He said with a smile to his face.
Time skip 2 Hours.
Still Percy's POV
We got to the hotel Chrono's family was staying in and checked in at the desk, but they said that Chrono's family checked out just 4 hours ago.
"What do you mean? They can't just leave a member of their family." I asked furiously.
"They can and have Percy, I knew they would abandon me somewhere along the line." He said in an emotionless voice. How was he being so calm, he is 8! Yet he is talking this like someone used to betrayal. Then it hit me, he has been neglected from a young age, so he would be used to hiding his feelings and emotions. He then started to speak with the desk person.
"Can I go and get my stuff from the room please?" He asked.
"Yes, right this way." The desk person said, gesturing with his hands. He probably realised that Chrono is now an orphan and homeless.
We went up in the elevator to the room's floor and into the room. It was two rooms joined by a single door, there was two beds in each room. In the master room, there was a suitcase, clothes in a wardrobe and toiletries in the bathroom.
"At least they left my stuff." Chrono said, no emotion in his voice. It took him no less than a minute to get everything packed, we left the room and the hotel.
"Is it ok if I stay at Camp Half-Blood? I've nowhere else to go." He asked, eyes filling up with tears.
"Yeah! You can stay in my cabin since you don't really have a God parent." I said, kneeling to his level, to try to rebuild the boy who has been broken.
"O-ok." He stuttered, wiping the tears from his eyes.
We left the hotel ten minutes later and headed for camp.
Time Skip 30 Minutes
Still Percy's POV
We reached camp and I dropped Chrono off in the Poseidon cabin, while I went to go speak with Chiron about Chrono's condition. When I reached Chiron's home, I found Apollo there is well, so I spoke to both about this.
"So, Chrono's family just left him?!" Chiron asked, fury burning in his eyes. I would have been the same, but I knew that Chrono was neglected from a young age, so he would be used to abandonment, but he didn't expect his family too kick him out now.
"Yes, but he is used to it. However, the question remains, will he be able to stay at camp?" I replied.
"Has he shown any skills? Creative skills maybe?" Apollo spoke for the first time in this meeting.
"No, but we really haven't tested him with a weapon." I answered, confused.
There's a capture the flag game this afternoon in New Rome, is there not?" He said while stroking his chin.
"Yes." I replied again, confused as to where Apollo was going with this.
"Then it is simple, put him to guard his own flag against the Roman and Greek demigods, 440 against 1, if he is who I think he is, he shall win." He grinned while putting this idea out.
"Won't it be unfair?" I asked, still unsure.
"No." Apollo answered simply.
"OK, then let's go to New Rome and do this test." Chiron said, uncertainty still on his face.
After I left the Big House, I went to get Chrono. I found him sleeping on one of the bunks, I shook him gently awake.
"Chrono, time to get up." I said gently.
"OK." He replied, waking up and yawning. Where are we going?" He asked.
"New Rome, you know that other place for demigods I told you about." I said, getting ready to travel.
"Ok, but how are 40 demigods supposed to travel to San Francisco?" He said with puzzlement on his face.
"We are going on Pegasus and his brothers." I answered with a smile on my face.
"Yay!" He exclaimed, dashing off to where the stables where. I laughed to myself as I thought how he has become more carefree, as if he has nothing to lose. Then it hit me, he has nothing to lose because his family has abandoned him, I felt sorry for Chrono, abandoned at such a young age, forcing to grow up in a cruel world.
Time Skip 2 Hours
Still Percy's POV
We reached New Rome and spoke with Reyna, Jason, Nico, Piper, Hazel and Frank. We told them of Apollo's plan and that he and Chiron will be overviewing the game. They agreed to the plan and Jason was excited to see Chrono's ability.
Time Skip again, only 10 mins
It is a short skip in time
Chrono completely wiped the floor with us. After Reyna had discussed that how the games would be a test for Chrono, the entire camp helped Chrono build his plans to keep us from his flag. So, when we started planning our attack, we sent a demigod to do some recon on Chrono's plan. We came at just the right time, as Chrono was saying his plan aloud for our recon to hear. He recorded the entire plan and gave it to us. Apparently, there are going to be 3 rooms, then the flag room where Chrono will be waiting with his flag. We devised our plan of action with the Athena cabin. Then the horn sounded and we charged, we broke through the first gate and reached the room. It required 135 demigods and an elephant to open the door as it was a scanner and needed 135 demigods, plus and elephant. That left 5 demigods to guard all our flags. We got through the first test, but as the door opened in front of us, the doors behind us closed. We thought this was strange, but there was a note saying all the doors will be open once we finish all the tests. We marched through the first test and destroyed the second, it was a simple math problem. We all thought it was easy, but since Chrono is only 8, we thought he would find it hard. The third test was a riddle which we spent a good 5 minutes on before we found out the answer was death. Nico and Hazel were embarrassed since their father was Hades/Pluto, God of the Death, Riches and Underworld.
We had a surprise when we went into the final room. Instead of finding Chrono, we found a note saying,
'You are all idiots, I saw your scout and made up a fake plan, I probably have your flags now. Chrono'
We felt so stupid that we were fooled by Chrono. We raced back to where we put our flags and saw Chrono sitting on a throne, all our flags surrounding him, our guards knocked out and Chrono had a grin on his face while having hot chocolate.
"Had fun figuring out my tests and plan?" He asked cheekily.
"You tricked us!" Reyna said, even though she was angry as she was beaten by an 8-year-old, her mouth was pulling into a smile.
"Yeah, and I mopped up you guards." He replied with a mischievous smile.
"Apollo, what is the reason of this test?" I asked, confused on to how Apollo knew Chrono will win.
"This test was to find out if Chrono is who I think he his." Apollo replied cryptically.
"Who is he then?" I asked, still wanting an answer.
"Is Chrono a demigod?" Piper asked, eying Chrono as he finished of his hot chocolate.
"No, my friends, he is not a demigod, he is something more." He put his hands together, like he was about to give a speech. "He is the third son of Zeus and Hera, the youngest Olympian and the God of Time, Justice and Creation. He is the 13th Olympian." He said in a proud voice.
We were stunned, as if someone had frozen time, Chrono, was a god and not to mention, the 13th Olympian. However, no one was as shocked as Chrono himself. He spat out his hot chocolate, dropped his cup, fell on the floor choking and passed out.
A/N: So, how did you like my ending and Chrono mopping the floor with 440 demigods. Anyway, since this is so long already, this is a short author's note. As usual, hope you enjoyed, Review and PM me please, I would like some ideas for Chrono's adventures in future chapters. Thanks, and bye.
