When Star came to she found the entire floor covered in green grass and a gaping hole. She reached up to touch the back of her head and winced when she felt the bloody wound at the back of her head. Star's world started to spin but she forced herself to stand and walk over to her brother who was kneeling above Kronos but he seemed different, more… human.

"Fratele mai mare (Big Brother) Who...is… ah?" Star nearly collapsed, but the satyr caught her before she could injure her head even more.

"Ah, careful. That's a nasty head wound there."

"I've had worse. Cine esti? (Who are you?)"

The male chuckled that turning into coughing.

"Luke Castellan. Son of Hermes. Sorry about throwing you down that hole." With the satyr's help Star limped over to the trio and nearly collapsed next to her brother and looked at Luke.

"Normally I would still be enervat (pissed off)... pissed off about it…" Star looked at Luke and noted that his breathing.

"But in your case, I forgive you." Luke sighed and looked at Percy,

"Watch out of that one, she seems to like trouble." Percy laughed and Star scowled. Luke started to cough, and everyone jumped to help him.

'We can get ambrosia,' the satyr said looking like he was about to cry. 'We can-'

'Grover,' Luke gulped. 'You're the bravest satyr I ever knew. But no. There's no healing….' He coughed again, Star could hear his breathing get heavier and harsher. Luke's hand reached over to Percy and gripped his sleeve, 'Ethan. Me. All of the unclaimed. Don't let it…" Harsh coughing. "Don't let it happen again." His eyes were angry, but pleading too.' Star heard Percy say,

'I won't,' He told him with salty tears in his eyes. 'I promise" Luke nodded', and Star knew that he used the last of his life, to make sure Percy promised him that for whatever reason that something would never happen again. Star looked up a few moments later as she thundering footsteps and saw the doors of the throne room burst open, and a bunch of warriors looking for a fight thundered in. Percy spoke in a softened tone his voice cracking.

'We need a shroud… a shroud for the son of Hermes.' Star reached out and grasped Percy's arm, she was feeling nervous and worried. More people all which could kill her. Leaning over to Percy she whispered,

"I'm going to go get Amanda. Hopefully, she still where I left her." He nodded, and Star left as three creepy old women covered Luke in a white and green cloth and picked him up. Star softly smiled that the three of them and walk out of the doors.

Star walked along the road, having pulled her wings tightly against her back as she could so hopefully it would just look like a weird cloak and not a pair of wings.


"Hey Star!" Star looked around and eventually found Nico with an older man being congratulated by a bunch of other gods.

"Salute (Hi/Hello) Nico. Where were you earlier?"

"Killing an army of monsters with my father." Star stopped walking and looked over at Nico with a look of surprise… then she realized that she really wasn't that shocked so she just shrugged and walked over to Nico.

"So I assume that the man being congratulated by a bunch of other gods is your tată… I mean father?"

"Yea, do you want to meet him?"

"Eh, he won't hurt me, right? I rather like being alive." Nico just started to laugh his head off. And wave his father over.

"Hmm, you must be my brother's new daughter." Whatever looseness Star gave her wings immediately disappeared and they remodeled to her back. Unwilling she was tensing up like a spring and was about bolt when he chuckled and commented: "Do I really scare you that much for you to become like a caged animal?"

"W...w...well so..sort of. I… I really don't do well in large groups of people and well…. A..a..adding a bunch of immortals that could make my life iad… hell on earth makes me…. Uh ...um…. Honestly pretty rahat (fucking) terrified." The man she assumed was Hades just quirked a smile and said

"I bet. Now wasn't there a new daughter of Athena as well." Star froze and sputtered a Romanian apology and turned around to run.

"Sorry, I'll be right back I gotta go get Amanda." As Star ran she could hear the father and son duo chuckling.


Star decided to take to the rooftops do to the fact that the streets were getting crowded and she needed to make sure that her little înger (angel) was safe. She jumped down from the rooftops and ran into the room that they were sleeping in. Star nearly had a panic attack when she could not find Amanda. But as she looked around the room again she found a pile blankets on the bed that she was sleeping in. Lifting one of the blankets up she found Amanda sleeping in the mess of blankets. Star chuckled and shook Amanda wake. She jumped awake and looked around. Upon seeing Star she leaped into her arms.

"Hey it is alright it is just me, sorry I scared you îngeraș (little angel). But it is time to get up. The battle is over and we won. Now come on I know a shortcut.


And of course, the shortcut that Star meant was holding on to Amanda and running across the rooftops. Soon she was above Hades and Nico, then dropped down next to them.

"Alright, I'm back." Nico jumped and squealed like a mouse. He whipped around to look at both Star and Amanda, who were laughing their heads off.

"Both of you are terrible." The glare that he was giving them was mostly ignored. Hades chuckled and looked at Amanda.

"And you must be the new daughter of Athena?" Amanda nodded but still feeling a bit shy till she saw someone and ran toward them.

"Wha… îngeraș (little angel), where?" Star saw a woman who, in short, looked just like Annabeth and Amanda, so she must have been Athena. The now three person group walked inside of the to the throne room and Star when to stand next to her brother when she hears the sound of conch shells. Turning around she found an army of … she believed the term was cyclopes. One of them ran over to Percy and started to hug him. Star lost interest when an another god walked in. He had the scent of the sea, he was wearing a pair of Bermuda shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. Star knew just by looking at him that this was Poseidon, her father. She stood straight and tense. Percy started to pet her back but even that didn't calm her down. She turned out most of the conversation till she heard her brother start speaking. After he made the God's promise to recognize all of the gods and goddesses children he looked over at her and smiled. She shook her head.

"But there is one more person who helped us with Kronos. Star… The daughter of Poseidon."

"Rahat (fuck)"


Star felt all of the eyes land on her and she tensed up and started to shake.

*Doamne nenorocitule! Percy de ce nu ai folosit acel creier și subțire doar pentru că am ajutat-o că am nevoie de o recompensă! (God fucking dammit! Percy why didn't you use that brain and think just because I fucking helped that I needed a reward!)*

Poseidon stared at her with both fear and was that relief. Zeus turned to look at his brother with disbelieve. Star gave Percy a glare (straight out of hell) out of the corner of her eye. She then sighed and tried to stabilize her shaking. Then walking passed Percy she cleared her throat.

"Lord Zeus, I apologize for my Fratele mai mare (Big Brother)... big brother. The way that he introduced me was not cu tact ... tactful. Yes, I am the daughter of Poseidon, and yes I did happen to help with the fight against Kronos. My name is …."

"Astraea Jones." Star was startled as Poseidon spoke. He must have seen the confusion on her face because he then resumed speaking. "That was what your mother named you before you disappeared." Star no Astraea nodded and then continued to speak.

"Apparently I am Astraea Jones. I was traveling just enough inside the boundary of New York City to be found by a group of monsters which my half mai… big brother with Annabeth found me, and I led them to a daughter of Athena, Amanda."

"Well, then my daughter what prize do you wish for?"

*What do I want to wish for? You know it could be the reason that I wasn't actually struck down was that Zeus did not know that I existed, but now that I do to him what is it to say that I won't be stuck down now. Alright then I just have to hope that it will not end as bad as I think that it will.*

"Father what I am about to ask is something that may be… bold in this Council's eyes." Astraea took a deep breath and faced Zeus in eyes as well as she could. "I ask for permission to fly in the skies unaided and not be struck down by anything capable by you or anyone else's hand."

"WHY WOULD YOU ASK SUCH A QUESTION?!" Zeus bellowed. Lightning flashed and Astraea flinched and squished her eyes shut in fear. And as a very unnatural response to her fear her wings whipped forward and covered her upper body and facial regions. The lighting continued as Astraea felt all of the gods and goddesses stare at her and her breathing quicken as she started to fight off a panic attack.


Amanda ran over to Astraea the moment her wings flared around her and started to pet the feathers closest to her back while mouthing words basically saying that she is safe. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Percy, Nico and Thalia step in a protective circle. Soon after lighting stopped flashing, Poseidon stood and as he walked toward Astraea and herself. Once he was right next to her Amanda moved over and let him help his daughter.


Astraea was having a harder time fighting off this panic attack than the earlier one. Static dominated her head and she could barely breathe, she felt that there was never enough air in her lungs. She could see Amanda worried next to her mouthing words saying that she is safe and that she is here for her. Briefly, she felt heavy footfalls that got lighter and lighter. Soon after she smelled a fresh sea breeze and the drone of quiet Romanian being whispered in her ear. Astraea looked up to her father beside her helping her. He put her small hands in his and put it on his heart. This he whispered still in Romanian to match his breathing. Slowly her breaths evened out and the static lessened. She weakly smiled and her father was about to back away when her legs gave out and she would have cracked her head against the floor if it wasn't for Poseidon still somewhat holding on to her. She felt another pair of hands, these were cold and small holding her by her wings near where they meet her back. Astraea kept mouthing that she was fine. But she felt cold and started to shiver. She heard Poseidon call for someone then she felt warm and her head stopped hurting and the static disappeared. She felt a tug to go to sleep but then she thought *NU! (NO)I can not fall asleep now I need to know what Zeus will say. Although if by his reaction he is going to smite me for being a winged freak.*As if by chance Zeus spoke up,

"Astraea Jones, you are the first child of Poseidon to ask that question, I can see that it was for good reason too. I will grant your wish under the condition that you limit your time at Camp Half-Blood. Especially in the summer months." Astraea looked over to see her father about speak when she put her hand on his and stepped forward.

"Thank you, Lord Zeus. I will accept this condition, and honor it to the best of my umane (human) ability." Poseidon smiled and walked back to his throne growing larger as he did. Percy walked over and took his spot with a big grin on his face. As Astraea and Percy was going to walk out, 'Poseidon yelled

'Honor Guard!' Immediately the Cyclopes came forward and made to lines from the thrones to the door- an aisle for us to walk through. They came to attention,' and the cyclops that hugged Percy yelled out

'All hail Perseus Jackson, Hero of Olympus… and my big brother. As well as Astraea Jones my little sister!"
