Annabeth's POV

As I walked up to Chiron he didn't appear to notice me. I cleared my throat he finally noticed my presence.

" Ah, Annabeth there you are." Chiron spoke " I heard that you finished you class early and some of your students were worried about you. Did you have one?"

" Yeah... They always come back this time of year... around the time when he... died" I replied quietly

"Ah yes the anniversary is approaching isn't it"

We stood there in silence for a little bit until I remembered

"Oh Chiron what was it you wanted to see me about?"

" Oh yes, your mother has informed me that there are some people visiting and will be staying with us for a while." He said, " Why I'm not sure but she said she would explain when she got here."

And right on queue my mother and five people dressed in all black and hoods appeared on half blood hill.

They walked right in as we walked over to meet them. As we met them just inside the borders my mother gave me a steely look.

We weren't on the best of terms since I turned down her offer to help her in the rebuilding of Olympus after his death and instead took up a job as being a teacher at camp and Zeus also granted me immortality on the same terms as Chiron's, as long as I was needed I was immortal.

"Hello I'm Chiron, and this here is Annabeth. I run this camp and she helps me in training young warriors" Chiron said warmly.

"We know who you are. We did our homework before we arrived" Said the hooded figure in front.

I figured he must be the leader seeing as everyone was behind him and none spoke. He spoke in a steely voice like he was trying to hide some emotion or a secret.

I don't know I may just have to do some digging to find out who they really were. Well might as well find out why they were here.

" So why are you here?" I asked

" There is a war coming...one that you will not be able to win on your own." The one in front replied emotionlessly " What are you talking about we have defeated all the titans and Gaea only 50 years ago"

" I shall explain later" Athena quickly said, " I wish to speak to Chiron privately... Annabeth take the Warriors and show them around camp while Chiron and I talk."

PERCY'S POV

We teleported to half blood hill just outside the camp and as soon as I saw it I was saddened. I didn't want to admit it but I really missed this place.

We walked inside the borders with Athena and saw Annabeth walking over to meet us with Chiron. When I saw her my heart skipped a beat as I laid eyes on her for the first time in 50 years.

She was still so beautiful. I wanted to run up and hug her but that would give away who we were and potentially let Gaea and her army that we were here.

When they saw us Chiron introduced himself and Annabeth warmly but there was no need for introductions we all knew him. Well of course he didn't know that. I quickly told him that we had been informed of who they were.

When Annabeth first spoke it was music to my ears I hadn't heard her voice in forever and I had honestly didn't think I would hear it ever again.

When I told her about the war she was really confused and I have to admit it was kinda cute seeing her so confused as I had rarely gotten to see that face when she knew me.

As Annabeth was giving us the tour the only one of us that was paying attention was Frank(zeta) because he had never really spent any time here. The rest of just spaced and reminisced about our various times here.

I had been thinking about some of the capture the flag games that we had had in the woods when Annabeth said

"I don't know where you are going to stay. We don't get many visitors other than the hunters and Artemis would smit you where you stand if you stayed in her cabin."

"That is quite alright Lord Chaos said he would arrange something" I said and right on queue a small cabin popped up in the middle of the cabins.

Annabeth stood in shock for a minute. I found that quite amusing as that rarely happened that Annabeth would be in shock.

"Ah yes it seems he has conjured up a little cabin for us. Well we would like to go get settled. So we shall see you at dinner I suppose" I said. That quickly brought her out of her daze.

"Um yeah so we will see you at dinner"

After that we headed into our cabin. It was very big on the inside and we each had our own rooms just like on the Chaos army's HQ.

We all went to our rooms. I sat down on my bed and decided this was going to be a long mission.

ANNABETH'S POV

During the tour only one was actually interested in the tour. I was tired of giving this tour I usually reminded me of when I first give Percy this tour. I will admit I was definitely surprised when the warriors cabin appeared out of nowhere.

After I had told them I had left to go get ready for dinner I realized I hadn't even asked for their names.

Oh well I thought guess I'll fond out at dinner. When I got back to my room in the big house since I no longer stayed in the Athena cabin I realized how tired I was.

It had been a exceptionally long day with the flashback and the warriors and everything else. So I laid down and quickly fell asleep.

I woke up a little while later and look over at my clock and realized it was already 7:30. Crap I was going to be late to dinner if I didn't get up and leave now. I rushed over to the dinning pavilion and sat down at the head table next to Chiron.

"Sorry I'm late I fell asleep and only just woke up" I said to him as I sat down

"It's quite okay. You need the rest with everything happening" he said

" So when will I learn what my mother has told you about the impending war"

" I will speak to you after dinner I don't want some of the campers hearing bout this right now" he said in a hushed tone.

And with that our conversation ended. I looked out and saw that none of the warriors were there at dinner. I guess they too had probably fallen asleep or didn't want to come to dinner. Chiron rose to speak and the entire pavilion fell silent "There will be a campfire tonight to meet a few guests of ours. So I'm going to require every one to be there. If you aren't there there will be punishments. So I suggest that you all come"

When he sat down the entire pavilion began talking again. I wondered what could be so bad that we needed help from people I had never even heard of.

I finished my dinner early and went over to Warriors' cabin to let them know about the camp fire tonight and that they were to attend.

When I knocked on the door the leader opened the door. I knew he was the leader because of a thin blue stripe on the edge of his hood just like the one who spoke earlier. It was amazing inside.

PERCY'S POV

When I let Annabeth in she was completely and utterly amazed. It was kinda funny. She was like a kid in a candy shop. Then she did something that made it even more funny.

"But..but it's bigger on the inside" and she walked outside so I followed and she ran around the out side.

"How is that even possible it's bigger on the inside. How is that big inside crammed into that tiny outside" she asked " It's from Lord Chaos so honestly I don't know but hey it's fine by me" I said being cool about it but on the inside I was dying of laughter. It was like watching an episode of Doctor Who. I loved it.

"Um anyways Chiron said there is going to be a camp fire tonight to introduce you guys so um yeah just thought I'd let you know. And with that she left. So I gathered the rest of my team and told them that there was going to be a campfire tonight to introduce ourselves. So we all got ready to head over.

I was nervous. I don't know why I had done this type of thing plenty of times so why I was nervous was beyond me. A little while later we heard the conch horn signal it was time to go so we all got into formation and left for the campfire.
