A/N Kind of a filler chapter, I want to spend some time to give Apollo some depth.

"He's so lazy in the winter." Artemis muttered, the campers and hunters were waiting for Apollo.

"Wow, I think Apollo should switch place with Sól." Percy said casually.

"Who is Sól?" Annabeth asked.

"She is the Norse goddess of the Sun, she is drives across the sky with her chariot while being chased forever by a evil wolf named Skoll. Sometimes the wolf gets close to Sól and manages to bite the goddess which causes a solar eclipse."

"Did you call me?" Eclipse yelled, flying from out of the woods.

"What did she do wrong to deserve such a fate?"

"I have no clue." Percy admitted.

"Look away kids." Artemis said as the sun began to shine brighter.

A blast of warmth hit all everyone as the looked away, the snow melted all around the place. After a few seconds the heat died down and they all opened their eyes to see a young blond man standing in front of his car with a huge smile on his face.

The car was a red convertible Maserati Spyder and was literally glowing, well it was the sun after all.

"Wow," Thalia muttered. "Apollo is hot."

"He's your half brother you know?" Percy said and Thalia blushed.

Apollo looked at the group in front of him, "Hey little sister!" Apollo called out with a smile that almost blinded Percy.

"What's up? You never call. You never write. I was getting worried!" Artemis sighed. "I'm fine, Apollo. And I am not your little sister."

"Hey, I was born first."

"We're twins! How many millennia do we have to argue—"

"You two are twins so this entire discussion is useless." Percy interrupted the two Gods.

The Greeks look at him in shock while Apollo was smiling at Percy and Artemis scowled.

"Oh and here we have the Norse one! I see he got some guts!" Apollo said then he raised his hands in a stop everything gesture. "I feel a haiku coming on."

"What's a haiku?"

Apollo looked shocked, "You don't know about Haiku's?"

Percy shook his head, "Should I know about them?"

Apollo gasped and raised his arm dramatically, "Is nothing sacred in this cruel world?"

Percy looked questionly at Artemis who said, "Stop it Apollo, they need a ride to camp."

But Apollo could not stop, he was to deep in shock, "My dear sister, this Norse Demigod is thrown into this cruel Greek world and he has nothing more to life for in his life, the least we can do is teach him about Haiku's." Apollo protested.

Zoe sighted and said, "Percy, a Haiku is a japanese form of poetry, tree lines, five syllables, seven and five again."

"O." was all Percy said.

"Let me show you one!" Apollo said excited and coughed dramatically before saying,

"Fallen from the sky,

He even has a talking sword,

Percy Jackson duh."

Apollo looked expectantly at Percy but he just looked confused. "Isn't it supposed to rhyme?"

"Enough both of you, Apollo I need you to bring them to camp." Artemis stopped the discussion.

"Of course, what are you going to do little sis?" Apollo asked and Artemis rolled her eyes.
"There are monster stirring, I need to hunt a monster, a dangerous and ancient monster." Artemis explained.

"Just be careful, especially with the bad wolf out there!" Apollo said jokingly.

"Is that the sun?" Nico asked pointing at the car.

"Yup." Apollo said with a smile.

And then ignored Nic totally and turned toward Thalia,

"Zeus's girl, yes? Makes you my half sister. Used to be a tree, didn't you? Glad you're back. I hate it when pretty girls turn into trees. Man, I remember one time—"

"You were a tree?" Percy asked Thalia surprised.

Thalia nodded, yes, I died at camp while fighting of monsters to defend my friends. Zeus turned me into a tree before I could die and this summer Nick and Annabeth brought me back with the Golden Fleece."

"Yeah, it was really hard but I managed to retrieve a lost artifact that was lost for thousands of years." Nick exclaimed proud.

"On your own?" Percy asked with a smirk which resulted in a grateful smile from Annabeth.

"Brother," Artemis said. "You should get going."

Apollo looked at Nico for a brief moment and I saw his expression changed, it went to fast however for me to see it clearly.

"Well!" he said at last. "We'd better load up, huh? Ride only goes one way—west. And if you miss it, you miss it."

"I don't think we fit in." Percy said with a thoughtful look.

"I can fly." Eclipse said but it was not a useful contribution to the conversation so everyone ignored him.

Apollo sighted, "I hate to take it out of sport mode but…"

He took out his car keys and beeped the security alarm button. Chirp, chirp. For a moment, the car glowed brightly again. When the glare died, the Maserati had been replaced by one of those Turtle Top shuttle buses like we used for school basketball games.

"Right," he said. "Everybody in."

The hunters got in the car while Apollo was distracted looking at the distance.

"Big troubles in the future." he mumbled before turning towards Percy who waited with him.

"Something wrong?" Percy asked, his sword already entered the bus and began annoying the hunters with facts about the summer which annoyed everyone inside.

Apollo turned around and gave Percy a worried smile, "I can't see much about the future, that always means bad news."

Apollo put his hand on Percy's shoulder, don't worry though, at camp you'll make a lot of friends who can help you."

"I hope so."
