Luna: *still looking through the 'Quibbler'* Please remember that shy-twinee does not own Percy Jackson or Harry Potter.

shy-twinee: Here's a little hint. Sally-Anne is not going to be a daughter of Hades. Don't worry you'll see who her parent is in this chapter. Hope you enjoy the story.

Exeunt Luna and shy-twinee.

Five demigods made their way to Half-blood Hill to leave camp on a quest. Each one carried a backpack with simple quest necessities – mortal money, some drachmas, a change of clothes, nectar and ambrosia, extra weapons – among other things. Once at the top of the hill the group halted for a moment.

"So, Sally," said Percy. He felt a little weird addressing someone with a name similar to his mom's. "How are we getting to England?"

Sally-Anne stared at the sun dipping lower on the horizon. As the sun slowly vanished, Percy swore that Sally's aura started to strengthen. He could see a soft dark glow around her.

"Well, I was planning on shadow traveling," Sally answered. All but Nico and Lou seemed stunned. Lou because she knew Sally and Nico because he somehow sensed she had the ability. "Like Nico my godly parent is one of the so-called 'dark gods'."

Annabeth's grey eyes became stormy, as they always did when analyzing someone or something. She stared at Sally-Anne as if trying to guess who her parent was just by looking at her. Sure, Annabeth had seen her around camp a few times over the years, but not like this. This seemingly background camper was now noticeably growing stronger by the second…as if the approaching night was giving her power. Annabeth gasped, now knowing the identity of Sally's parent. Her assumption was confirmed when Sally-Anne was claimed in front of their eyes.

Over Sally's head appeared a glowing crescent moon with a star in the middle.

Percy was the first to speak. "Hey, you got claimed," he said as if it wasn't the most obvious thing in the world. He along with Lou, Annabeth and Nico started to bow, following the camp tradition, but Sally stopped them. She didn't like being bowed to and the attention embarrassed her.

"I am Sally-Anne Perks. Daughter of Nyx, the primordial deity of night," Sally introduced herself. "And that's me. Any questions before we get going?"

Percy raised his arm like a school kid. "So, this whole time you were a powerful demigod-witch person who, for some very excusable reason I'm sure, could not help me on my many perilous adventures?"

Sally-Anne nervously fiddled with her black-painted fingers and bit her bottom lip. "Yeah, sorry about that. My sisters the Fates always prevented me from doing so. She tried to brighten the mood a bit. "But on the bright side, I've been asking them to not keep killing demigods in horrible and painful ways. They somewhat listen to my plea.

None of the others really knew how to respond. "Uh…thanks?" Lou tried to sound appreciative for the help. The sky was now totally dark, save for the stars and the moon.

Nico checked the watch in his pocket and reminded everyone that it was getting late.

"Okay, so the five of us will be shadow traveling," Sally stated. "Nico can help me." She faced the son of Hades. "With our combined power I should be able to get all of us to England safely. Everybody, please hold hands."

Sally held Nico's hand, who held Lou's hand, who held Annabeth's hand, who held Percy's hand.

The group casually ran into the shadow of a tree.

Lou Ellen was thankful that the trip only lasted five minutes. It was her first shadow traveling experience and she was certainly not anxious to have another.

"Ugh, Sally, please tell me apparating is better than this," she said, sounding a little queasy.

"Not really, it can make you just as queasy," answered Sally-Anne while scanning the surrounding area. She let out a sigh of relief. "It looks like we landed in the right area. Come on, let's go."

"Shouldn't you and Nico be passed out right now?" asked Annabeth as they walked through a dark clearing. The night air was chilly so Lou conjured up jackets for everyone.

"Normally, yes. But I guess working together lessened the stress, so we aren't as tired."

"That makes sense," Nico agreed. "By the way, where exactly are we?"

"We're in the area of Ottery St. Catchpole. It's not exactly London but it's still in England. We'll be staying here with some friends of mine." Sally-Anne pointed to a two-story house. The lighting seen through some of the windows was dim, as if the structure had no electricity so candles had to be used.

"Do they know about the gods?" asked Percy. "They aren't going to turn us into furry animals are they?" He shuddered as he remembered his first up-close encounter with a sorceress a few years ago.

"Yes, they know." Sally-Anne laughed. "I doubt they would turn us into furry animals. Well, maybe not outside of Transfiguration class. Luna is one of the nicest girls you'll ever meet. Draco is a good guy, although at school he has to be the snobby, evil rich kid."

The group walked in silence until they reached the house. Percy glanced down at the rather eccentric 'WELCOME' mat and wondered what the deal was. He was about to question Sally but decided against it. He had a feeling the answer would disturb him.

Sally rang the doorbell, which seemed odd to the others (except Lou, of course). There was no sign that the house had any electricity. Nico, Percy and Annabeth then assumed that it had to be magic.

A spooky voice spoke from behind the door. "What's the password?" Everyone but Sally began to draw their weapons.

Sally rolled her eyes. "There is no password."

"What's the password?" asked the voice again.

"Seriously, Draco. Let us in it's cold out here."

The voice laughed and the door opened. The group walked inside to escape the chilly air. Inside was small living room that connected to a just a little dining room and kitchen. Sitting in a chair near the door was a teenage boy with light blonde hair and grey eyes. On the bottom steps of staircase, near a window, sat a teenage girl with blonde (practically white) hair and silvery grey eyes reading what appeared to be upside-down magazine.

The girl put her magazine aside and greeted the group. "Welcome, demigods of Camp Half-Blood, who I don't know. I'm Luna Lovegood." Her voice was airy and dreamy and reminded the campers of those at Hypnos cabin. She pointed over to the boy. "Over there is my cousin, Draco Malfoy. Please have a seat."

"So, you both are demigods and wizards just like Sally-Anne." Annabeth's words sounded more like a statement than a question.

Draco responded first. "It's sort of twisted. I'm really a legacy. My mother is a daughter of Thanatos and is a wizard, and my father is just a wizard."

"And I'm both a demigod and a legacy. My father is a son of Thanatos and a wizard, and my mother is Selene."

"Your mother is Selene?" Annabeth was stunned. "Then, you're a demititan!"

Luna gently shrugged her shoulders. "Demigod, demititan. They both seem the same to me."

"But," began Percy. "Didn't Selene fade away in the Roman times, along with Helios? How could she have kids?"

"Well, it was possible for the two gorgons, Stheno and Eurayle, to come back. So, why not a titaness?" offered Lou.

"That's true." Nico joined the conversation. "But they had Gaea's help and I don't think Selene sided with Gaea.

The confused demigods looked at Luna for answers. They started to notice how the moonlight beaming in from the window made her glow with power. She did have a silver aura, similar – yet in some way a little stronger compared to Thalia and the other Hunters of Artemis.

"You see, Selene and Helios never really faded." Luna paused and when it seemed like no one wished to interrupt she continued. "They were on the verge of fading, but they were saved by Nyx. This whole time, they were in the Land of Dreams."

"The Land of Dreams?" Annabeth mind began to whirl. She never heard of such a place.

"Yes, the realm ruled by Morpheus. But that is a whole other story," Luna said. "Draco and I never went to Camp because all our training came from our demigod parents and Thanatos. However, we did fight in the war against Gaea."

Draco added, "You wouldn't have recognized us with all the chaos and fighting and all."

"Okay, so it seems to me that your school has three capable demigods, or whatever, to fight this Voldy guy. So why do you need us?" asked Nico, like the thought of being forced halfway across the world on a pointless quest annoyed him.

Sally-Anne sighed. "The will of the gods is complicated. Most of Draco's family members are adamant supporters of Voldemort, so he would be easy to find. We already know how to beat him. If we were allowed we would have even stopped him from rising a second time."

Luna said, "We should leave the rest for Susan to explain. You won't be meeting her until it's time to depart for Hogwarts. It's nearly one in the morning, we all should turn in."

"You're right, Luna," said Sally-Anne. She turned to the other demigods. "Follow me. I'll show you to your rooms."

shy-twinee: Please forgive me, Draco. I'll find a way to make you cooler in upcoming chapters.
