allen r : Thank you for your review! It means a lot to me. And I'm glad it does! :)

Third Person's POV

Percy struggled in his sleep. He was having nightmares yet again. In his dreams, he was... Tied up.

A soft rumble sounded to his right. The room was pitch-black.

"Percy Jackson... Do you have any idea how much your death matters to me?" The soft rumble had turned into a deep, raspy voice.

Percy opened his mouth and tried to get his voice to work, but like the nightmares he had before, he could not speak.

"Poor little hero. I heard you've defeated Medusa and countless other demons and monsters, even won a fight with Ares... But will you defeat me? I don't think so." A laugh followed.

Percy stuck his tongue out at the black hue that was his enemy.

"Let me tell you a secret... Why don't you run along to Zeus when you wake up, and ask him what's troubling him? I'm sure you'll get a rather fruitful story." The voice laughed menacingly.

Percy was jerked awake by a hand frantically shaking his shoulder. He saw Annabeth's face above his, her blonde curls hanging down like beautiful cascades of beige flames.

"Wha...?" He muttered.

Annabeth laughed. "Wake up, before I hit you."

Percy jumped up immediately. "Don't hit me!" He scratched his head.

Annabeth pulled him up and threw him some clothes. "Quick. Chiron said he has something to discuss with us. Something about our problem."

Chiron smiled grimly as the duo approached. At the other sides of the table sat Thalia, Travis and Connor Stoll. "Come, sit."

Annabeth took a seat beside Percy.

"I learned the problem and I have analyzed it. It seems like a quest, you know?"

Percy put a finger on the table. "We have to go to Zeus. I suspect it was his troll that attacked me."

Chiron nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, I think so too. However, we must not take any risks." He took out a pendant from his side- Annabeth had absolutely no idea where it came from- and gave it to Percy. "Here. Something to show Zeus that you're not trying to assassinate him."

Travis punched Connor's shoulder. "Cool idea, man, but you know Zeus's type... Oh, I see a demigod! I am going to kill him!" He mimicked.

The group burst into laughter which quickly subsided due to the seriousness of the matter.

"Don't worry. He will not kill you if you present this." Chiron scratched his small beard. "I've selected Travis, Connor and Thalia to go with you."

Annabeth almost choked. "Travis... And Connor?"

The siblings winked. "Yeah, daughter of Athena. You're gonna have an excellent time with us, free-of-charge."

Annabeth rolled her eyes. Chiron dismissed the meeting with a wave of his hand. "That's settled, then. Best of luck. You may leave whenever you like. Now is a good time."

Percy ruffled his hair. "Never say never, huh?"

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the original characters, or the original plot, okay?

Hope you enjoyed.

My chapters are pretty short, but hey, I need some times in between to regenerate my creative juices. So basically in the next chapter, they'll be going on a quest.

Review!

lmk if you have any complaints, compliments or suggestions.
