It was currently 10:30am; Annabeth had been away with Percy for about and hour now. The camp was taking a little break from organizing Percy's party; they were all sitting around on the grass talking. Piper was discussing, with Jason, possible games they could play for the party, when a bright light appeared in the middle of everyone.

The goddesses Hera and Aphrodite appeared in front of everyone, instantly quieting the grounds of demigods.

Chiron walked forward and bowed to the two female goddesses.

"Chiron" Hera said. Piper could sense Jason tense up in anger, oh great, everybody's least favourite goddess is here, the one who conducted the 'demigod exchange program' between the two camps, causing panic for the Romans and the Greeks.

"Hey everyone. Piper." Aphrodite turned around to face Piper and Jason.

"I see you guys are still going strong" Aphrodite smiled at Piper and Jason, making Piper blush.

"Mum…" Piper tried to sound enthusiastic, but Piper's mother had confused her way too many times in the past, then she doesn't contact anyone during the war, then she just shows up at camp with the Queen of the gods. "What are you doing here?"

Then Aphrodite's face clouded with sadness, "sadly, Hera and I are here to help everyone… understand. Understand what happened when the Greeks met the Romans, for the Athena kids, how Annabeth got the Athena Parthenos statue, what happened on the 7's quest, and, finally, what happened to Percy and Annabeth in Tartarus. I also know you, Nico Di Angelo, the first mortal survivor of Tartarus, willingly went down there to try and find the doors of death."

The whole camp turned to Nico, who suddenly found his shoes interesting. No one apart from the seven really knew Nico went down to Tartarus.

Hera started speaking "Don't you all want to know why I composed my plan of uniting the Romans and the Greeks? Why I went through all the trouble to see this plan through? The seven demigods, Nico and Coach Hedge, why their job, or should I say jobs, since they did do A LOT on their quest, why it was so important and vital to the fate of the world, you guys were the key to what stood between life and death. If your quest went wrong, the results wouldn't be as they are today. I see you are preparing for the son of Poseidon's birthday party?"

"Which you won't be attending I presume" Piper bitterly said.

"No, no we will not, but- ah yes, the Romans have arrived." Hera looked to her left. Reyna, Hazel, Frank and a few other Romans walked in formation towards the Greeks. That formation broke when they saw the two Goddesses standing before them.

"Hey. Uh…" Frank spoke, but got elbowed by Hazel.

"Please join us, we were about to begin." Hera gestured to the grass lawn the rest of camp half-blood was sprawled out on.

Hera spoke just as she clicked her fingers, and all the campers were seated together rather than sitting around anywhere, we were all facing one way.

"As you know, not even the gods venture in to the depths of Tartarus, but with the help of all the gods, and even Hades, we could view some of their time their."

"We're watching our quest?" Piper and Jason shouted bewildered.

"Some of it yes dears. The important parts at least" Aphrodite smiled at them, though Piper didn't think there was anything to smile about.

A sort of hologram appeared, but it was more like they were watching on a cinema screen.
