AN: Hey everybody, i'm back. So here is another chapter for you. enjoy.

A.J

A.J was walking along a paved path. On each side of him, there was mist. He looked around; trying to take stock of his surroundings, but all he could see was mist. He kept walking until he came to a crossroads. In front of him, there was a doorway, but it was pitch black, so he couldn't see anything. On his left was another doorway, same with his right. Both were pitch black. He frowned. A crossroads isn't supposed to be black.

"What in the world?" he asked. Just then, a wind picked up and started swirling the mist around, like a giant cotton candy machine. Then, the mist darkened, until eventually he was looking at a silhouette of a person. He could feel power radiating from the figure.

What you see before you is what you mortals call an impasse. The voice sounded like coals being scraped against one another. A.J could tell it was coming from the figure in the mist, even though it sounded like it was coming from the mist itself. You will reach the same outcome no matter what path you choose. Just know that when the time comes to lay claim to your family, I will await you atop the devil's mountain. The way the voice spoke, it sounded as if it was reading A.J's obituary. Before he could think about how much he disliked that interpretation, a sharp pain erupted behind his temples. He fell to the floor; while images flashed through his mind faster then he could comprehend them. So many things were running through his head, he felt like it was going to explode. Through all of that, however, a certain line of words kept repeating over and over. It took him a second to make them out, and when he did, they made no sense at all: Half-blood claimed by fire's hand.

When A.J woke up, he was surrounded by faces. Percy, Annabeth, And Jason stood over him, Along with three other girls. One had frizzy red hair and freckles; another had eyes that couldn't seem to decide what color they were, going from green to blue to brown. The last one had choppy black hair and what looked like a tiara in her hair. Immediately, A.J leapt up and hugged Jason as hard as he could, muttering "thank-you" over and over. After about a minute he realized that he must have looked a little crazy, what with the death hugging of some guy that he just fought, so he let go of Jason and took a few steps back.

"Sorry." He said. He looked around. The dining pavilion was empty, but other than that, everything was exactly the same as it was before he passed out. He was interrupted from his observing by a not-to-subtle cough. When A.J turned to look, he saw the girl with the tiara holding a bow with an arrow knocked in it, pointing straight at him.

"You have about thirty seconds to explain why you just tried to kill my brother." She said in a very threatening voice. Jason put his hand on her shoulder.

"Calm down Thalia, I'm sure this guy can give us a good explanation." He said, looking at A.J expectantly. A.J smiled.

"Yeah sure I can, just not someplace this public." He said. Everyone was quiet for a second, until Percy suggested that they have this conversation in his cabin. Nobody argued, so they all made their way to cabin three. When they got there, everybody arranged themselves in a half circle around A.J. When he saw that everybody was comfortable, A.J began.

"K, so firstly, my name's A.J.I have been an orphan practically since I was born. I never knew either of my parents. All my life I've been alone, without family or friends. Eventually, I got tired of being alone all the time. So, I went to see Nereus, the old man of the sea." When he said this, Percy tensed, but he didn't interrupt. "He told me to go to a place called camp half-blood and do battle with Jason, the son of Zeus. So, when Percy, Annabeth, and Grover found me in new York, I was already making my way to camp half blood." When A.J got done telling his story, everyone went silent. They were silent for so long in fact, that A.J began to feel uncomfortable.

"I still don't get it." Jason said finally. "Why did you need to fight me, and why me, of all people?" Then everyone was quiet again. This time A.J broke the silence.

"I really don't know Jason. I'm sorry." He said. "I have no idea why he told me to fight you, but I didn't want to take any chances. All I ever wanted was a family, and if fighting you would help me get one, then who was I to argue." When he was done, he could feel everyone staring at him, thinking about what to make of his story. Then, the redhead spoke up.

"It looks as though this guy got what he wanted after all." She said, looking around at everyone else. No body argued. A.J felt something that he had never felt before: accepted. Just like that, even after he nearly killed one of their own. Then the redhead looked back at him. "My name I Rachel by the way, and that's Piper." She said pointing at the girl with multi-colored eyes. She was sitting next to Jason and holding his hand. Hmm.

"We still have another question to answer." Annabeth said, snapping him out of his thought. Everybody looked at her strangely. "Where do we put you?" she asked. Then It seemed to dawn on everybody just what she was talking about. A.J didn't understand though.

"What do you mean?" he asked them. Percy looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Here at camp half-blood, you get sorted based on our godly parent." He told A.J. "So, unless you know your godly parent, we have no idea where to put you." Then it was A.J's turn to smile.

"Oh I know who my godly parent is." He said happily.

"Really? Who is it?" Annabeth asked. A.J looked at her with an amused smile.

"You're supposed to be quite smart, daughter of Athena. You should be able to figure it out." Annabeth looked stunned, and A.J couldn't help but start laughing. "Oh well, I guess I have to tell you. My Olympian parent is…
