Guys and Girls I need to know if you think I should change the summary of this story. A 'Guest' has said that the Summary was confusing. I ask you now to go to the poll on my profile and vote. Tell me what you think!

Chapter Twenty-Eight:

"Now how are we going to get these to work?" Hannah asked as she held up a hand of multicolored crystals.

"Easy we toss them into the hall just as Dumbledore tries to open the feast," I answer lazily from my place curled up in the windowsill.

"What do those things do exactly?" Mihawk asked from one of the plush chairs at the table, "I've never seen those before,"

"I came up with them about three days before Raftle and was going to test them out when all was said and done," I answer with a slight sigh, "I call them Flashers due to the fact when you throw them down they release bursts of colored light rather than sound. They're meant to distract and ensnare the attention of the enemy until you're ready to reveal yourself. A perfect distraction,"

"Kinda like fireworks without the bang," Fred commented causing me to nod, "They feel like they're filled to the brim with magic,"

"They are," I say with a slight smirk, "Each crystal is filled with light magic. The crystals are fragile for the express reason of breaking easily when thrown against flat surfaces,"

"Kai?" Luffy whined from his place in the corner, "Can I come out now?"

"Do you promise not to touch any of the stuff we're using for the big entrance tonight?" I ask as I turn towards him.

"I promise," He agreed causing me to nod and snap my fingers.

The chains holding him dissolve into smoke that floated over to me in the form of a cat. The cat-like smoke reached me and I ran a hand over it's head while pulling a red ball from my jacket pocket. With a smile, I handed it to the smoke and watched in amusement as the cat-like smoke played with it before absorbing the ball. It turned a brilliant red before disappearing. Luffy stared at the place it used to be as I say, "Well that was easy."

"WHAT WAS THAT?! IT WAS COOL!" Luffy exclaimed loudly causing me to wince slightly at the volume, "How'd it disappear like that? Can I do that? Can you teach me to do that?" Luffy ran over to me and grabbed my hands, "Can ya teach me? Please!"

I felt a mix of exasperation and amusement as the others watched us in amusement. The non reserved members of our group were laughing while the others were merely watching us in amusement. I scowl playfully at them before smirking, "I don't think I could, but I'm sure Hermione might know how. Her form is a mist cat after all."

Said girl paled causing me to smirk at her, her eyes narrowed and she glared at me. Luffy turned his eyes on his new target and began to bombard the poor girl with questions. I snicker as the door to the tower opened up and in walked Sabo with Andromeda. Andromeda walked over to me and glared at me. I smirk at her as Sabo asked, "Why didn't you warn us that the castle stairs could move?"

"Because it's a magic castle and moving stairs are bound to be inside," I gave him a raised eyebrow, "Or did you forget that little trick with the trees back when we were young?"

Andromeda growled at me, "I had to use my powers over the shadows to stop from falling! I ended up landing next to that annoying red head that makes Luffy look cultured."

I snort and gave her a deadpan look, "And that's my fault how?"

She was silent for a few minutes and I snorted before turning my attention to the world outside. The other schools would be arriving in an hour and at the moment the school was busy preparing. The final preparations were being done and the students were buzzing from the news. The Founders had decided that they wouldn't hold class today and just have the students help set up. The seventh, sixth, and a good bit of the fifth years were helping to make the great hall and entrance hall look amazing. The younger students were practicing the spells they had been asked to practice to make the entrance for Hogwarts all the better. The teachers were either overlooking the preparations or helping to make the outside of the castle look amazing. I moved from my place curled up in the windowsill and decided to talk to the demigods. Luffy looked at me in confusion as I moved towards the exit, "Where are you going Kai?"

"I need to keep a promise to a friend and to see if I can't gain some new crewmates while I'm at it," I answer causing Luffy to grin, "I'll be back in time to go down with you guys to see the other schools arrive,"

"Alright!" He waved me off, "Try to be careful Kai,"

"I will," I promise and made my way out of the room.

Kiyo appeared next to me as I left the common room. She walked beside me as she reported, "They're currently in the secondary courtyard under the lions tower."

"Yukina watching them?" I ask causing her to nod, "Have you noticed anything interesting about them?"

"The girl is rather interesting in the fact that she doesn't act like the hunters in your memories nor does she seem to be actively hateful towards her cousins," She looked up at me with slightly wary eyes, "In fact, it seems like they're siblings. They care deeply for each other if what I saw was correct,"

"Interesting," I murmur softly as I add that to the oddities and differences between the trio and the demigods of the three gods I knew before, "What of their personalities?"

"The one you said is the son of Hades seems to be careful and calculative with a bit of a happy go lucky personality mixed in," Kiyo answered causing me to frown slightly, "The son of Poseidon is a leader and fierce when it comes to those he holds close. The girl shows strength and a good sense of humor with a bit of insecurity underneath," I nod though my frown deepened at the second for the girl, "All three have anger in them directed to their godly parents, but also betrayal directed towards a few others,"

"Abandoned then?" I ask causing her to nod, "Then maybe they'll accept my offer to them,"

"I understand the want, but why? We owe them nothing," Kiyo looked at me in slight confusion.

"We may owe them nothing, but no one deserves to be abandoned," I look forward as I say that and images of a certain goddess filled my mind, "Everyone deserves a home after all,"

Kiyo was silent for a while before nodding to me and disappearing. I knew that the real her would be sitting next to Yukina as they watched the trio. Since I got back to school, I've been having the two watch over the trio and what they found was impressive. Each were strong on their own, but together they could be unstoppable. It reminded me of another trio so long ago and it made me resolve to not let the three experience the same fate. I forced my memories away as I stop in front of a window to stare at the sky. A deep feeling of longing filled me as a woman whispered, "Promise me that you'll not let another group fall like us? No one deserves this fate...Promise me!"

"I promise Isis," I murmur as the image of her pale face and the blood that surrounded her, "I promise I won't let this trio fall like we did,"

I almost felt like I could see her smiling at me. Her grey-amber eyes shinning even as they slowly dimmed with each shuddering breath she took. Her purplish-black hair laying around her like a halo in the middle of a sea of blood. I shoved the memory from my first life away and shuddered at the thought of it. I had lost her twice and there would be no third time. I sighed deeply and continue on my way. It was best not to think such thoughts since something amazing was going to happen. I took a deep breath as I forced the memories into the place they had in my mind. I easily moved through the school and soon reached the courtyard where my targets would be. I spotted them in the far reaches away from the other first year lions and made my way over to them as Yukina joined me with Kiyo on her back. They looked up at me as I approached before the two boys moved in front of the girl. Professor Mcgonagall looked at me with a raised eyebrow as she made her way over to me. The other students in the courtyard were staring at me in surprise causing me to smile as the Professor asked, "What are you doing here Ms. Ashferd? I thought you would be preparing for the event tonight."

"I was preparing," I confirm with a placating smile, "I'm just taking a break while I wait for my Nakama to finish with their own preparations. I was merely walking by when I spotted these three,"

"What do you want with Mr. Di Angelo, Mr. Jackson, and Ms. Grace?" Professor Mcgonagall asked with slight suspicion in her eyes, "They haven't been causing you trouble, have they?"

"No, not at all," I wave her suspicion off with a grin, "I merely wished to speak with them for a moment,"

"I see," She eyed me before nodding, "Go with her you three and when you're done come back here to master those spells,"

She walked off to teach the little lions and I turned to the trio, "Follow me."

I turned and walked away. I heard them following me after a few minutes and led them to an area near the lake. The grass was already showing signs of winter coming as the stalks seemed to wither slightly. I created two benches before sitting in the lotus position on one. The three look at me warily as they took a seat across from me with Thalia in the middle. I noticed that they were sitting in a way that would make it so they could stand up fast and be able to either run or fight. My respect for them went up over that action and upon seeing the almost not there scars it increased. I leaned backwards as Yukina settled on my right with Kiyo on my left. I waited for them to speak and it was the green eyed boy, Percy Jackson, "What do you want with us?"

"I know why you three are here," I answer causing them to stiffen.

The one that smells of death laughed, "Of course you do. We're here to learn magic!"

Yukina snorted and gave the boy a look as she laid her head onto her paws. Her body changing size from the size of a normal grey wolf to an SUV. She looked at them with guarded eyes even though I know she felt what I did when she looked at them. We both wanted them on my crew and under my protection. She wanted to help me keep the only remaining promise I had to Isis other than the one to continue living. It made me happy and I closed my eyes as I leaned against her. She spoke with a deep rumble in her voice, "Do you think us fools?" The air shifted around them to show that they had stiffened even more, "We have seen more and done more than you could ever know. We know who sent you and why exactly you've come. Do not think you can fool us with that disguise of yours,"

"How?" Thalia demanded causing me to open an eye to stare at her.

"The energy inside of you is too matured for an 11 year old to hold," I answer as Kiyo leaned her head against my lap, "Your eyes speak of untold amounts of knowledge. Your scents speak of older people and of magic used to turn one into the age of another. I can smell the energy of the goddess of magic around you and know that she turned you into 11 year olds,"

"H-how?" She asked in surprise.

"I've been around long enough to know the scent of ichor even if it has been a while since I smell it on a demigod," I ignored the fact I was one at that moment even as they pale slightly, "I already know what I am as well,"

"How do you know?" Percy demanded causing me to chuckle.

"Goblins are good friends to have when it comes to finding out what things you can claim," I felt amusement at their surprised looks, "Not to mention this isn't my first time around,"

"What do you mean?" Nico asked, "If you had died in a past life, you shouldn't be able to remember what happened when you were reborn,"

"You would have been right had an event not happened two months ago," I answer with a slight frown, "The way it happened would have driven me mad had it not been for my Nakama and my loyalty to them,"

"You were a demigod in your past life?" Percy asked causing me to nod.

"A forbidden child as it were, but yes," I say with a slight sigh, "However this isn't what I wished to speak to you about,"

"Then what do you want with us?" Thalia asked.

"To be frank, I want you three to join up with me," I answer causing their eyes to widen, "I don't feel like going through the whole reason why, but if you want you can ask questions. It won't change the fact I want you three to join me,"

"What could possess you into wanting us?" Percy asked, "You don't even know us!"

"I may not know you, I may not know everything you've been through, and I may not know what exactly you three are good at," I confirm with a slight smirk, "I do however know what it looks like when someones been hurt by someone they loved. I know how it feels to be abandoned to a fate you shouldn't have. I know what it feels like to do everything for someone only to be left behind like yesterday's garbage," I close my eyes as memories try to wash over my mind, "I know what it like to lose the very thing you tried to protect," I open my eyes and look at each of them seriously, "I know all this and more. It is the reason why I am speaking to you now,"

"What is your offer?" Nico asked with his eyes slightly dull, "What could you be offering if you could see all that?"

I smiled softly at them and offered them my hand, "I'm offering you three to get away from your current situation. I'm offering you a place to get away from all that has harmed you. I'm offering you a chance to grow stronger without the fear of losing those around you out of fear," I stood and gazed down at the three, "I'm offering you a family."

"F-family?" Thalia stuttered softly as she gazed at my hand.

"Aye child," I murmur softly, "I'm offering you a family. I'm offering you a home,"

"Why?" Percy asked, "Why offer us this? Why do this when you know we could betray you?"

"Because I'm willing to risk it," I answer with a slight grin, "In life, risks will earn you many things and lose you many things, but that's what makes life worth it,"

"You're willing to risk everything you are just to offer us something?" Percy looked at me in complete shock, "Why would you do that?"

"Because I know what fate awaits you if you continue this path," I answer tiredly, "I've seen what happens to those who are broken and it ain't pretty," I gave them a bitter smile, "I went through the same thing only my trio all died separately in the end. One captured and killed to break the other two. One died ending a war. One died because the gods feared what he would do in his grief," I look at the three as Kiyo jumped onto my shoulder and Yukina shrunk as she stood, "I make this offer to keep it from happening to you. I don't want another trio to end like we did. I don't want it to happen to you," I shook my head and gave them a smile, "I'm offering you a way to end the gods hold over you," The spirits would have a larger hold on them then, "Think about what I've offered and give me your answer. Take as long as you need,"

I walked away from them and moved towards the castle. Yukina moved silently by my side for a few moments before asking, "Do you think they'll accept this?"

"It's possible, but it also possible that they won't," I shrug lightly, "If not, I'll accept their answer,"

"I see," Kiyo looked at me carefully, "What of the promise you made to Isis?"

"I'll ask the spirits to watch over the trio and try my best," I answer with a slight sigh.

"I see," Kiyo muttered before falling silent.

None of us spoke as we returned to the tower. We settled into helping with the preparations once more. Everyone noticed that something had happened, but since I wasn't going to speak they stayed silent. I knew that Luffy, Sabo, and Mihawk would demand answers from me, but were going to give me time to sort everything out in my head. I soon stood outside and watched as the other schools arrived in silence. Luffy cheered, "Those horses are so cool!"

All of us however comment, "The ship sucks."

It caused many to look at us with wide eyes, but a glare directed from both Mihawk and I made them look away nervously. I smirk at the sight only pout up at my father figure as he ruffled my hair, "My daughter."

I smile up at him for that comment and felt content when he did the same. I might have heard some awes, but when I turned around no one was looking at us. I smirk as we head inside and finished getting ready. We stood outside of the doors of the great hall as the other school walked inside. I turned to my Nakama with a grin, "Are you all ready?"

I got nods and when it was time threw the doors open...

End of chapter. It's short, but I'm not feeling too well at the moment. To make up for it, I'll make the next chapter longer. Sorry everyone! No Omake either. Please review
