I do not own PJO.

Thanks a lot to those who reviewed! Oh, and I got a question asking about romance, if you guys want romance, you'll get it, just give me some pairings! Okay, so I'm getting some people asking for pairings, but no matches. I'll give you some names and, if you will be so kind, you will go into the review for chapter 1 (really the people who have come in) and look up a nice match. PLEASE? I seriously need some help. So here are the names:

Arabella

Kaliegh/Derek (Psh, they're already paired)

Anabella (maybe a magician?)

Andrew (Perhaps a daughter of Hermes?)

Erin (Whoever...)

Xavier (whoever, but maybe Anabella, course SHE might be the hardest...) [I've actually gotten a lot of requests for Xavier, I think. look who has some fans]

So if you luv me and this story and you want romance, PLEASE help! Pwease? I've gotten some suggestions which is GREAT but I was too lazy today to go back and put them here, so if I'm missing some, I'm sorry for my laziness.

Xavier's POV
Do you want to know where I was when everyone was off during free time? I was sleeping. Last night, I did not sleep well, my dumb ba had decided to take one too many trips, waking me up in a cold sweat, on the verge of insanity from what I had seen. It decided to take me on yet another trip, so my sleep wasn't pleasant this time. It wasn't exactly a real ba trip but it wasn't exactly like a demigod prophetic dream. In my ba trip/dream, I was in a bar. There were two poker tables; one was white, while the other was black. It didn't take me long to figure out who sat at each table. At the white table, there were people I recognized fairly well, and others I could only guess at. The party was much bigger at the white table than at the black one, but the black table seemed much more dangerous. At the white table there was: A young (almost teenager/young adult looking) Ra, Horus, Osiris, Set, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades (who flickered between their Greek aspects and their Roman aspects) and then there were two young men. I didn't exactly get who they were, but when Horus spoke one of their names, the whole legend came back to me. Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome; the legend says that they were raised by a she wolf, Lupa, at first, I didn't believe a word of it that the teachers had said, but when some of the Romans who had gone to the Roman Camp came, I started to believe it. The gods/past rulers sitting at the white table couldn't seem to agree on anything, the white table, white probably represented Ma'at, was in Chaos, it was failing. The black table on the other hand was in complete order, the people sitting there had agreed on...something. I don't exactly get what they said, but it sure wasn't planning a peaceful tea party. There were huge giants at the black table, with weapons larger than myself, there was a guy dressed in all black, his clothes a swirling void of words I caught some of them: Death, poverty, mutiny, betrayal, plague, famine, etc... These were factors in the decline of Egypt, Greece, and Rome. The last guy there just radiated Chaos. He had blood red hair, and red eyes with slits for the pupil. His clothing had ugly scenes of death and people and Chaos conquering Ma'at. He was like the human form of Apophis. His voice was scaly and reptilian, it sounded like nails on a chalkboard, like everything in the world was bad and disgusting. It formed scenes in my mind, like the last instructors at the school tying a few "rule breakers" to wooden posts and whipping them. Their backs were so bloody, I tried to take the whip from them, but I ended up being whipped across my cheek, earning the scar I have there.

"It...isss...agreeed...thenn...to be...sssstronger we will join...forcessss..." said Apophis, smiling evilly. He turned towards me and said, "Get ready...it'ssss...only the beginning."

I awoke with a start. There was Arabella, Darcy, and Shana Rose standing over me. Do you know how disturbing it is when you just had a creepy dream and you awake to 3 girls standing over you? It's really creepy, and very awkward, for me at least. I sat up, trying to refocus my eyes, my vision blurry from the sudden burst of energy and shock.

"Wh...what are you doing in my room?"

"You know, I could ask you the same thing if this situation was reversed, but we were on our way to the tennis courts, and we heard you screaming," explained Darcy

"So...what was your dream about?" asked Shana (Rose).

"Should I really tell? I'd rather not."

"Puh-lease, Xavier. We're not the instructors, what ever it was, it probably really shook you up. Tell us."

"Fine..." I explained, and the girls explained without interruption. They nodded some, seemed a bit confused at times, especially when I explained the part about Apophis. When I finished, they were silent.

"Well...that was...odd," said Darcy, always one to talk. She brushed her choppy bangs out of her eye, but as usual they popped right back into place.

"I...I think you should tell the instructors," said Shana (Rose) [It's only in parentheses because she uses her last name like someone EXAMPLE: Katie Sue, but I don't like typing it when she's just talking so...SORRY!]

"What? No way, I don't even know them! It'll be all awkward, and whose to say they would actually help us?"

"Well...it would at least gain some trust for both sides, and maybe they would warm up to us, too. We're both shy and uncertain of each other." Darcy glanced at Shana while Arabella snickered, not in a mean way, "You sound just like Sylvia, always the peacemaker. But, yeah, Xavier talk to the instructors they might be even more wary of us than we are of them." Darcy slapped Arabella, who asked, "What was that for?" Darcy simply stated, "You were sounding too smart, I had to knock some sense into you." Arabella rolled her eyes and said come on, "Alex, Lexi , and Saffron are waiting for us so we can start the game. Bye Xavier, see you later." I haven't exactly dated anyone, but Arabella gave me a way flirty and out of character smile and wink as she headed out the door. I grabbed my khopesh and headed down to the area where the instructors stayed. The area always creeped me out, it was dark and echoey and there were pictures of the gods, and their eyes were charmed so that they would follow you. The offices were simple on the outside, but intricate and unique on the inside. I contemplated knocking on Janie or Silver's doors, that had their names in fancy script in Latin, Greek, and hieroglyphics, but I decided against it. Instead I went for Erin's door, I don't know why, but she seemed the most relaxed and at ease with us. Slowly I trudged over to her door and knocked on it once, twice, three times. Erin opened the door and I was greeted by a smile.

"Xavier! Come in! Come in! Is there something I can help you with?"

"Uh...yeah, actually, there is, but you're probably just going to laugh and..."

"Nonsense!" scoffed Erin who was heading over to her boom box which was playing (CONTEST! The first person who gets it right gets a secret sneak peek! Is Erin listening to: Mean, by Taylor Swift, Bleeding Love, by Leona Lewis, If I Die Young, by the Band Perry, Bulletproof, by La Roux, or Just Dance, by Lady Ga Ga [BTW: I was choosing random songs.]

"Okay, then, so here goes, I guess..." I told Erin everything; I didn't even realize just how much I was saying. Erin listed intently, nodding sometimes, or absentmindedly moving pieces on her chessboard. "So, what do you think, Erin? I think...I mean magicians don't have prophetic dreams like demigods, but I was in my own form. What's the matter with me? Why...why did I have this dream?"

"I wish I knew, Xavier. Let's just keep it under wraps for now, okay? I'll look into it as much as I can. I've never heard of something like this. If you have any more dreams like this, come and talk to me, my doors are always open. Now, come on, want to play a game of chess?"

Well? How was it? Good, bad, great, fabulous, terrible? Tell me! So, who thinks what is wrong with Xavier? I had to include SOME mystery. And don't forget the SPECIAL CONTEST!

SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME! Feel free to PM me! I like to talk about RANDOM things! Unhappy with my work? Tell me! It's beneficial to MANKIND! Or, you know...my writing!
