PERCY
I was pushed along to the Big House. I knew they all missed me, but not that much. Annabeth kissed me, Grover man-hugged me, and so did Nico. They questioned me so much, that I almost forgot about Athelia.
Almost.
"Uh, guys? I miss you a lot, but there's a reason I left, and came back, and I sorta left em' out there," I said, and led them outside. Athelia was standing out there, waiting for me, impatiently.
"Well, well. The megastar decides to come back to fetch his companion?" She said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes.
"Take off your hood, will you?"I said.
She sighed, but took it off. Nico gasped.
"Another Demigod?"Chiron asked.
"Nope," Athelia piped up.
"Quarter god," Athelia said, and everyone gasped. Nico fainted.
"Wow. We haven't had any for years,"Chiron said.
"Um, hate to interrupt, but i'm not a… a normal quarter god,"Athelia said.
"Will someone take care of Nico?"I said. Clarisse and Grover brought him to the infirmary.
"Is he going to be ok?"Annabeth asked.
"Yeah, he's just shocked. I can't believe I actually fought with my dad, though!"Athelia said, and started laughing.
"Well, you're not the only one, Atlas. I hated my dad even before I met him!" I said.
It was silent for a moment, until Annabeth said,"Who's Atlas?"
"My nickname,"Athelia said.
"Oh. Who is your father?"Annabeth asked.
"Nico,"Athelia said, flatly. Many people gasped.
"Which makes your mother…?"Annabeth said.
"Hmm… Who are the possibilities, Annabeth?"Athelia said.
"Me,"A voice said quietly, in the crowd. I turned to see who said that, and sure enough, it was Thalia. Many people gasped. It was getting brighter out. The sun was rising, and it became dawn.
ATHELIA
Everyone turned to see what was going on. I saw bright white lights. Everyone ducked and covered their eyes, but I kept them open. Oh. The gods were assuming their true forms. I knew there was a chance I could disenegrate, but I kept watching. The light died down, and Chiron and the Olympian Gods stared at me in amazement.
"What?"I demanded.
"You didn't disintegrate,"A teen, among the 12 teens, who could could pass for Annabeth from far away, said.
"So?"I said.
"SO?"The teen in the middle bellowed.
"If you don't mind me asking, who are all of you? I mean, I know you are the Olympian Council, but I can't tell you apart,"I said.
One by one, they named themselves off.
"So, who are you?"Zeus asked.
"Wait a minute. How are you Gods if you're teens?"I asked, still confused about that.
Zeus sighed. "We can change appearances."
"Right. Sorry, forgot!"I said, remembering how I could do that too.
"So, answer the question. Who are you?"Zeus asked again.
"My name is Athelia."I said, promptly.
"Who's your godly parent?"Zeus asked.
I shot a glare towards Hera.
"Quit questioning the kid, husband!"Hera said.
"Fine. We'll be on our way. I just came by to grab my son. Where is Dionysus?"Zeus asked.
"Here, father,"Dionysus answered, before anyone could. Then, they all revealed their true immortal forms and went away.
