A/N Ok everyone as I told you before, my exams ended recently. So here is the new chapter. Sorry, it is a bit short Also for the title. I know not my best one. Hope you like it.
Chapter 12: The Night.
Prologue. (Annabeth's pov)
" The chapter ends. " Hestia ended and closed the book. "We all should go to bed. Everyone must be tired. " We nodded. " Demigods and magicians will follow me to their chambers. Good night. " We said our good night and followed her. (Even though, I knew where we are going.)
Prologue ends
Piper's Pov
As we followed Lady Hestia through the hall of the palace, I couldn't help but notice the look of awe on the magicians' faces as they looked overwhelmed by all the Greek design. I was a bit confused as they must have their architectural beauty too.
I think many of us were thinking along the same lines because Frank asked " Have you ever been to a gods' palace ?" "Yes we have, but why are you interested? " Carter replied carefully. Hestia threw a look at us but kept on moving. " Just that you seem very impressed by all this. " Percy asked bluntly waving a hand towards the architecture. Annabeth slapped the back of his head.
Carter snorted. " Yes, that's true our Nomes and Palaces are very impressive, but so are yours, " Zia told Annabeth eyes gleaming. " Really! Can We visit your Nomes? " She asked. " Yes Sure anytime but not right now. Currently, I feeling sleepy. " Sadie yawned. All the magicians rolled their eyes.
By then we reached a temple which looked more like a mansion than anything. " Ok kids, it is the guest house which Bast and I prepared for you all to stay. We both have taken care of your requirements. " At that, all the magicians groaned. I shot them a worried look. " Don't worry there are no cat amenities in there. I made sure of that." She said in amusement.
" And the night clothes are courtesy of Lady Aphrodite. " Now it was my turn to groan. Dammit If I knew my mom correctly, she will be making girls wear lingerie or a transparent nightdress and boys' shorts to bed. Lady Hestia shot me an apologetic look which made me groan internally.
She opened the front door and we came into a spacious room. One-third of it was filled with couches and beanbags placed around a fireplace and a T. v. fitted in the wall above the fireplace. Another third was a dining area with a long dining table and a big fridge, enough to fit an elephant. No kidding. Anyways last third was a kitchenette which seems more like a misnomer as it had all the latest amenities and was quite large. But well this is the guest house for gods. Everything will be of the latest technology and king size.
"I know we had quite late lunch or an early dinner if you like to call it so most of you must not be hungry. But still, there are some food and drinks in the fridge, for those who would be hungry. Also, your bedrooms are in the hallways with your names on them. Lastly, If you need anything Bast and I have rooms at the end of the hallway. " After that Percy, Jason, Leo, Travis, Conner and Grover went away to find some food. While the rest of us went in search of our rooms.
I found mine in between Jason and Annabeth s'. I opened it and the first thing I saw was bright pink. Which was the colour of the walls. I groaned again and hoped that night ends soon. After Taking a shower, I changed into the night clothes left there which was also a pink night dress with lots of frills. Accepting my fate, I lay down on my bed and soon drifted into Morpheus's realm.

Next day everyone gathered in the meeting hall after having their breakfast, and Bast picked up the to read when suddenly Lady Athena asked " Where is Amos? " " He left last night because of some emergency in our New York headquarters." " What kind of emergency? " Lord Zeus asked suspiciously. " One of our initiates was practicing a donkey exploding spell and our library blew up. " Sadie replied simply. Athena fainted. " Talk about a good start. " Apollo commented making several laughs. "Anyways let's begin the story. " Hera ordered. Bast threw her a dirty glance and started reading.
A/N Ok, So I was thinking about how to come up with an idea to update both stories regularly. And my first idea was to do it in alternate weeks. But then, I thought you guys won't like so I decided that on every Sunday I will update this story. Happy!
Also, I read one review that thought I ditched this story. So the answer is no I didn't. I promise. Because I love the Kane Chronicles after Nancy Drew and Harry Potter.
Lastly hope you liked it. Famous words Please review.
