Chapter I

Percy's POV

It was just 6am on a Sunday morning, I was enjoying my dreamless sleep in my bed when suddenly… THUMP! My daughter, Sophia, sat on me and said out loud:

- Mom! Dad! Can I go to the camp you told me yesterday?

- Give us a minute, hon. we need to get up first. Beside, it's too early. I still want to sleep a little more. And it is unwise for the daughters of wise to have no breakfast before she going somewhere. Right?

Oh, it's my wife, Annabeth. We had been married for 13 years then. I proposed her right after I got a job as a Marine Biologist. Fit for a son of Poseidon, right? And in case you guys are wondering, my love became architecture. She was well-known then. Re-built Mt. Olympus after Titan War and the Giant War, designed the best building in the US as well as the villa for Russian President (she was asked because Americans need to be friends with Russians, stuff like that). So, no exaggeratation, but we are the best demigods, the hero and heroine that everyone looked up for.

- But mommy, I want to see Kyron, your teacher

- It's Chiron hon. Now, can you wait me and your dada for 1 hour. We are still tired

- Dada and mama always watch late night movies. You shouldn't do that

- Ok – I have to speak now – Can you go to your room? I promise to get up and take you to the camp in 1 hour

Well, I want to say something else, but I couldn't, I just winced. She was as smart as her mom, may be not exact the same but close, very close. I mean, she knew how to read when she was three, she read a book (out loud, which made my ears hurt) just 6 months later. She had grey stormy eyes, just like her mom and my not-so-nice-mother-in-law, Lady Athena, which means, she is smart-deadly.

But anyway, there I was, lying on the bed, trying to get a little more sleep but failed because my dear daughter woke me up. Grunting, I kept my eyes closed but it helped me a little, like for 5 minutes. Annabeth got out of the bed and said she wanted me to be ready in 15 or I would be in trouble. Well, She is a daughter of wisdom and she is smart, so, don't piss her off. She would stop at nothing to get what she want – payback. That's why Hera (or Juno, if you are Romans) hates her and that's why I love her. But… I would deny having said this, but she is quite bossy, which annoyed me (quite much, if not a lot).

But then, I don't want to make her mad, she always stored some drakon meat in the fridge, in case Sophia (or me) being grounded (or punished). Trust me, nothing worse than having grilled drakon meat (or drakon soup) for breakfast. I still remembered how disgusting it is when I first tried it… in Tatarus.

So, I did what a good husband would do. I got to the bathroom, cleaned myself up before making the bed and walking downstairs, to the kitchen and… Give me a minute. Was she making grilled meat? And was she preparing salad and bread. Oh Zeus, that's my favorite type of breakfast. With that thought, I stormed down and arrived at dinner table in time to see my love bringing the meat out. We have delicious food for breakfast: grilled meat with bread for me, salad and some tacos for Annie and noodles for Sophia (she became keen on noodles after watching 3 Vietnamese won 'Masterchef' for 3 years in a row)

During the meal, Sophia just kept asking questions which I couldn't answer, so my dear Annie answered them

- Mom, can I stay at Dad's Cabin?

- No, hon. that's for your uncles and aunts, if there are any. That cabin was built for the children of Poseidon like your dad. And you'll stay at Cabin L – Cabin Legacies.

- So, can I have Dad's Riptide?

- I don't think your dad will be happy if he had to stay apart from such a sword. He had it for years. But I think he would be glad if you complete a quest on your first year at camp. If he didn't give you, don't worry, we can choose you another weapon from the Armory.

- Mom, what weapon can I have?

- I don't know, Sofie, There will be one which fit you most and if you want, you can make 1 for your own

- Like what Uncle Leo makes his own cars?

- Yes, just like that hon.

Annie answered this with a smile on her face. Leo created 'Leo and Calypso's Garage: Auto Repair and convenient store' a few years ago. After the Giant War, he confronted Zeus/Jupiter for not releasing Calypso as he should have done 1 year earlier. It was such a luck for Leo because Zeus didn't blow him up. Then, he studied Engineering and Business and opened that shop. Now, it is earning him tons of money, most of which came from company like Porsche, BMW, Airbus,… he was a son of Hephaestus so he built stuff, very good stuff. He just married Calypso a few weeks ago (Come on, Calypso also had to learn how to work in a store, and it took time). By now, he is probably having good honeymoon time on Phu Quoc Island with his newly-married wife.

When I was about to lost in thought, my mobile phone rang (Yes, my M-O-B-I-L-E P-H-O-N-E, Hephaestus and Athena Cabins were able to find a way to cover the signal transferred by demi-gods when they are using phones. So, now, we are able to live in high-tech world). It was a call from my boss, Bobopheromone, Bob for short

- Perce, my finest biologist. Do you have a few hours to spare?

- Only minutes Bob. I'm about to bring my daughter Sophia to the camp where I and Annie first met. Why do you ask, Bob?

- Nothing much, seriously. Your document about squid on Youtube, it attracts 1 million views by now, no, it's 1,304,026 views. Jesus, Perce, you are a genius. Using Latin words which can bore people, even scientists, but your documentary was so easy to understand. NatGeo and Discovery had just called me. They both wondered if you can work for them.

- What did you told them?

- Nothing. I bought you some time, Perce. Oh, and you should answer them in 1 week. OK?

- No problem. Anything else?

- Not quite, Jake and I are about to throw a party for this. But you can't come so we'll hold it with the entire office and let you die in envy.

- Hahaha, very funny. But thanks anyway

- You're welcome. Ciao! See ya tomorrow.

- See ya

With that, I hung up and noticed that my dish had already gone. Before I was able to open my mouth, Sofie said

- You've already finished your meal when you answer the phone Dad. And mom took it to the dishwasher. She asked me to tell you to prepare the car. And can you do that now because I want to see Kyron.

- It's Chiron, hon.

- Oh, because I want to see Chiron

- OK, hon. Give me a minute. And clean your mouth. And put that orange T-shirt on. It's camp's uniform. Remember that

Just 5 minute later, we were all in the car. And it was a gift from Leo, too, that fire boy. He made this as a gift for our wedding (such a nice man, huh?). As soon as I ignited, the engine roared and being alive. We hit the road and went along the Interstate soon. It was a quite and peaceful trip, not like one I had years ago, when I was just 12. I had to go at late at night with someone (it was a few gods, actually) wanted to have me dead and arrived at the place, just to be attacked by Minotaur. It was a very bad day for me. But back then, I had to travel from downtown New York, now, I just have to drive from my house, designed by Athena herself, on the outskirt of the city. This was very convenient. I could drive to Camp Half-blood in less than 30 minutes, arrive at Sophia's school in 15 and visit my mom and Paul in 20. Well, with the piece of crap I've been through, this house was a really good gift.

Soon, I can see the Thalia pine tree on the hill. It seemed like Annabeth spotted it out too because I saw her nudged Sofie:

- Look Sophia, that's the Thalia pine tree I told you. It's gorgeous, isn't it?

- Wasn't Aunt Thalia that tree?

- Yes, but we had a quest to save her from being that tree. She became a Hunter of Artemis then.

She reminded me about that quest in Sea of Monster. It was also a trick of Kronos to have one more chance to control the prophecy. But he failed because I sent him back to Tatarus 3 years after that.

- And, Mom, is that Chiron? The old centaur?

- Yes, that's him – I spoke up this time – I think he wants to welcome us. After all, your parents are the hero and heroine of the Mount Olympus and his best students. And he may want to see how smart you are too.

I finished when pulling my car off. We stopped right next to him. He just he same as I remember him. Sitting in a wheelchair, reading a book in Latin with his warm brown eyes. Something never change. I wonder if it means demi-gods have to face their troubles soon, if not too soon and too early. When we were getting off, he said:

- Well, well, well. Isn't it the Percy Orion Jackson and Annabeth Minerva Chase? You have been grown up a lot. And is it me or your guys are much happier every time I see you.

I guessed we all blushed a little bit because I remember hearing Sofie said:

- Mom, Dad, why are your ears so red?

- Oh, so you must be Sophia. Your parents told me a lot about you. It seems you are as smart as your mother. Isn't it correct?

- I don't know Chiron, but you can call me Sofie, I think it's nicer

- Alright, Sofie, Sophia. Doesn't it mean Wisdom? I bet Athena and Poseidon would be calm a little bit when seeing you. You are so cute, just like your mother when she was just 8.

Now, seriously, can someone give me a bucket off water. Being teased in front of your friends isn't an easy memory. But being teased by your old teacher in front of your child,… Well, it's another challenge for me. Zeus, I wonder if I had blushed like this.

- C'on, Percy, Annabeth, let's go up the hill. I'll take you a tour around Camp Half-blood. There have been quite a few changes after you two went to colleges. Is that OK?

- Not a problem, Chiron – Annabeth and I said simultaneously. Now, I think my face is just the same as a tomato. At least, I can sure that Annie's face is just like an apple by now

We walked arkwardly after Chiron and Sofie up the Half-Blood Hill. Once we passed the barrier, I can see the Camp Half-Blood, my second home.

A/N: Gosh, it's 1968 words. I haven't written this much. And, thanks a lot you guys, 16 hours after my prologue and I had 2 reviews. Thanks a lot (again)

One thing to note down: I mentioned Phu Quoc Island and noodles. These come from Viet Nam (I'm from Viet Nam so I always want to promote my contry, hope you guys don't mind)

I plan to have a few chapters for the 'old' demi-gods (created by Rick) to speak as opening and conclusion (By the way, how hillarious it gonna be when we let them play 'Truth or Dare'). I haven't had a firm idea on how this story gonna continue so just let me know your ideas by reviewing. Once again, thanks for reading.
