Percy Pov
After we had all packed, we met up at Thalia's pine tree. She grimaced as she got closer to it. There to meet us however was not Chiron, it was Zeus! The king of the gods never comes to heroes in person, especially not on Earth.
"Yes, yes, be in awe, the king of all the gods is here." Zeus sounded quite grumpy. We all had our mouths open so I suppose that's why he said it. Leo got on the ground and started groveling at his feet.
"Get up boy!" Zeus bellowed at Leo, "Today is not a day for your childish games!" Zeus looked seriously ticked off.
"Lord Zeus," I began but he cut me off.
"I will have no lip from any of you! Especially not from you Jackson!" I was just going to ask why he was here. I guess he was still sour about me showing the gods up after the Titan war a few years ago.
"I'm only here because I have to warn you about the dangers of the time you're going to." Chiron never mentioned that there was trouble in the time period. "There is a war going on, you eight have been hand chosen to help them with the war."
I was ticked off, I thought this was a vacation, not some military trip. "Now hold up a second!" I yelled at Zeus, which may have been a mistake.
"Boy! Have I not told you to hold your tongue in my presence?" Zeus roared at me. He was really angry now, but so was I. My ability to listen or lack thereof may have gotten me into more trouble than necessary on occasion.
"I am tired of being used and lied too! I've fought how many battles for you guys and yet you all still lie and use me? What does it take to earn a nice quiet easy life for a change?" I had pulled Riptide out, still in pen form. How much chance did I stand in a fight against the king of the gods? Probably not very good.
Thalia and Annabeth came over to shield me from Zeus, who looked about ready to whip his master bolt out.
He snapped his fingers and a portal opened in front of us, "Go now, before I change my mind and kill you on the spot Jackson." I still wanted to stay and say something but Annabeth and Thalia pulled me through.
We emerged in a rundown church. The windows were cracked and dirty. The alter was broken in half and the place seemed to be emitting a strange green light. The green light was coming from a woman kneeling in front of the broken alter. When she stood up her brown hair was barely the length of her shoulder, her white dress was covered in ancient greek letters, probably spells. She was a dainty woman, who appeared to be staring daggers at me.
"Hello heroes, I understand you are going to help my descendants in their war?" She asked us, though she never took her eyes off me. The only problem was I had never met her, and I had no idea who she was. I nodded my head, seeing as she didn't look anywhere else. All my friends noticed what her eyes were focused on. They all gave me questioning looks. I had already gotten into a fight with a god today, I didn't need another.
I tried a nice friendly smile at her, "Have I met you before?"
She answered in a cold voice, "No, I have never met you before today. Though I have heard of the great Percy Jackson." She said my name with contempt, almost like I had wronged her in some way.
"Well since I don't know why your mad at me, can I at least know who you are?"
"I suppose my identity won't hurt you to know. I am Hecate, goddess of magic." I had a vague feeling I should know why Hecate of all the gods should be mad at me.
Annabeth gasped, "Lady Hecate! I know why you hate Percy, your children fought for Kronos during the last Titan War!" I slapped myself in the face, I should of known it. Hecate was one of those unclaimed goddesses when I first came to camp. So she was mad because I saved the world.
Hecate regarded her coldly, "Very good daughter of Athena, it is true my children fought for Kronos during the Titan War. I advised them to, not knowing that this one would somehow save the day." I realized that most of her kids that had fought in the war must have died, that's why she hates me.
"Enough of that, it's water under the bridge." She said in a much calmer tone, though she still glared at me. "Before I send you to past I will give you enough wizarding knowledge so that you don't seem inept." She snapped her fingers and we all were engulfed in a green aura. My friends all fainted around me. I panicked, I needed to save them.
"Don't worry Jackson, they are fine. I just wanted a moment to talk with you, alone." The way she said that sent chills down my spine. She just smiled at me, as if sensing my discomfort. "I don't hate you for defeating Kronos, though my son, he despises you above all others. He would probably disown me for even talking to you without killing you." She said tracing a finger across my chest.
"He hates me because I saved the world? What did he think Kronos was going to do? Make the world a place of rainbows and unicorns?" I asked her.
"You may be right, however he is convinced that Kronos would provide a better world than that provided by the gods. I may have made the situation worse by pushing him to join his army."
I stared at her in shock, "You told your son to join Kronos' army? You wanted him to kill your family?"
"It's not so black and white Jackson; I wouldn't lose power if Kronos took power. The family that you are speaking of has never recognized me, until you said something for us. So I have to thank you. Now sleep, and enjoy your time in London." Everything turned black and I fell to the floor.
When I woke up, I had a major headache. My friends were all awake, which was a relief. I noticed we all had changed out of our camp clothes. Jason and I both wore hoodies, his was purple, and mine was blue. Annabeth wore a plain white t; Piper had a formal blue dress on, while Hazel was dressed in a yellow dress. Leo possibly had the funniest outfit on, he was dressed like Elvis Presley. Frank had on a muscle shirt, and Thalia wore a black tang top. We all had on blue jean pants, minus Leo.
"So how long you guys been awake?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.
"About half an hour; we were beginning to think you would never wake Seaweed Brain." Annabeth said with a smile. Her grey eyes shone in the darkness, drawing me in. I leaned in for a kiss when I was interrupted by Thalia.
"No more guys, seriously every time I visit at camp, you two act like you can't get enough of each other." She groaned. Jason cracked a little smirk.
"Don't get me started on you Jason! You two might be worse, I mean at least Percy and Annabeth have known each other for like five years. I mean all of you should take a page out of Hazel and Frank's book, they never kiss in front of other people." Hazel blushed, I guess Thalia didn't know that things were complicated with them.
I looked out from under the little porch we were sitting under. It was pouring and the wind was terrible. I was glad for my jacket, though how Thalia managed not to freeze to death in that tang top was beyond me.
"You guys know what were supposed to do now?" I asked the others.
"Yeah, Hecate sent us a note. She said we have to wait here for a Professor Dumbledore." Piper told me.
At the end of the street there was a loud pop, and two people appeared on the street.
If you don't know where that Hecate information came from it was in the demigod diaries, the story written by Ricks son. I should be able to get the next chapter up soon. Please review.
