It was a bright day out in camp half blood. The campers were out training to the peak of their abilities. Some climbed shaking lava walls, some shot down targets at an impossible distance while some fought with spears, swords and axes. There were also children who tended to forges, making new weapons, some that tended to the gardens. There were even a group that just looked at themselves in the reflection of the water.

Out of nowhere, there was a bright burst of light and some people disappeared. The rest though looked like they were frozen in time. Even the tree at the hill looked somewhat less lively.

At a certain hotel in Las Vegas, young children were enjoying themselves. They played games and watched whatever they felt like watching. Slowly time came to a halt there too and with a flash of light two people were taken away.

In three other locations, such flashes appeared too. A total of eight people disappeared from those locations.

Up in Olympus, the gods sat in their respective thrones. There was a heated argument between the king of the gods and the god of the seas.

"Sea storms pale in comparison to the might of the sky storms!" Zeus boasted. He was the god of the skies after all. It was expected for him to be biased towards his own domain.

"Try saying that once you're out of your sky and in my water. I'll show you how mighty sea storms can be!" Poseidon said with a growl. Being the god of the sea, he took it as a personal offense when someone doubted the seas.

"It's like this every year. Can't someone stop them?" Artemis groaned form her place in the throne room. She'd much rather be with her hunters than listen to her father and uncle debate on the storms.

"Well maybe you should try it sister. Who knows? Maybe an arrow to the dick would silence them both" Apollo suggested to her twin.

"Or you would get blasted by lightning and sea water. Either way it's very entertaining for us" Hermes laughed from his throne. His laugh though was cut short when an arrow stabbed itself to his throne, a mere inches from his crotch. He looked at his half-sister, eyes wide in terror. Artemis had her aim fixed at him, though no arrows were put in to shoot this time.

"This is too boring" Aphrodite mumbled, her head resting against the palm of her hands. "Boring? How can you call this boring? This is great!" Ares said from his place beside her with a huge grin. Aphrodite merely rolled her eyes at her lover and looked to the ceiling. "I wish something interesting would happen" she mumbled.

As soon as she had uttered those words, twelve kids fell from the roof. They had appeared out of nowhere and proceeded to crash on the floor. The collective groan from them had grabbed the attention of the gods who ceased their personal musings and arguments.

The group of twelve slowly separated, one of them still on the ground. He had fallen first and the rest on top of him. "That was spectacular. Anyone else would like to join in?" the boy asked from his place on the ground with a groan.

As if some divine power had decided to grant him his wish, six more people fell from the roof and on top of him. "Well maybe a bag of a million dollars wouldn't be bad" one of the boys asked out loud. He got nothing in return. "Had to try" another boy, possibly his brother said to him encouragingly.

"What is going on here?!" Zeus shouted once the initial shock over came him. The kids all jumped a little and looked around to the king of the gods.

"He's huge" the boy who was on the ground a moment ago murmured. He was then pulled down to his knees by his friend as everyone bowed down.

"Lord Zeus. Why have you summoned us?" a blonde girl asked. Zeus looked at the girl in confusion hidden amongst his anger. "If I had summoned you I would not have asked!" the king growled out making the girl flinch.

Before the talks could go any further, there was another flash and a stack of books with a note on top appeared in the middle of the room.

Curious Athena stood up from her throne and walked over to the books. "There is a note" she declared and began to read.

"Dear gods and collected demigods. I have brought you here in this room to read about the life of a certain demigod. His life revolves around an upcoming war that many of you are avoiding on thinking about. As long as they are here, they are under my protection so no one is to harm either of them. I'm talking to you Zeus. Keep it under control. While you all are here, time is frozen outside so don't worry about school or anything like that children. And as you finish this reading, three more are going to join you don't jump down their throats or anything. And children introduce yourselves. Name of parents and all. And to the gods. Claim your children already."

As soon as Athena finished, three more thrones rose. One was beside Poseidon's where Amphitrite appeared. The other two rose to the side, beside Demeter's. On them appeared Hades and Persephone, the rulers of the underworld.

None of them commented on that as the note had said though Zeus looked ticked off at being called out personally. "Why are we here?" Hades asked for himself and his wife while Poseidon filled in his wife. "To read some stupid books to stop some stupid war" Dionysus drawled sipping his can of coke.

"Anyways" Hestia said and turned to the gathered children. "Introduce yourselves" she said with a smile that seemed to warm up the whole room.

"Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena" said the blonde girl, much to the pride of her mother.

"Travis and Connor Stool, sons of Hermes" the twins said in unison making Hermes grin.

Katie Gardner, daughter of Demeter" Demeter smiled.

"Will Solace, son of Apollo" Apollo beamed brightly. Artemis had to smack him with her bow just to dim his light.

"Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite" said goddess smiled at her.

"Charles Beckendorf, son of Hephaestus" said god of the forges smiled at his son while tinkering with some scrap metal.

"Clarisse La Rue, daughter of Ares" the girl sneered and her father grinned.

"Percy Jackson" the boy from the floor muttered and instantly the symbol of Poseidon glowed over his head, much to the shock of everyone in the room.

"Poseidon!" Zeus roared and immediately was pulled back down by his wife. "Two" she hissed at him and Zeus backed down. His face though had a scowl.

"Grover Underwood, Satyr" the scowl on Zeus' face deepened.

"Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus" the punk looking girl said. Zeus' scowl immediately got replaced by a look of shock while Annabeth and Grover too looked just as shocked. "Thalia?" Annabeth asked shakily. "Hey Anny" the girl greeted and was immediately tackled into a hug. The two stayed like that for a while before they had parted, standing by one another.

"Right" Hestia cleared her throat and looked to the other group. "You may begin now" she said with a smile.

"Jason Grace, son of Jupiter" the blonde boy with the scar said. Thalia looked at the boy in shock while the form of Zeus shifted from his Greek face to his roman one for a moment.

There was a moment of shocked silence in the room before all hell broke loose. "A roman with the Greeks!" Apollo said dramatically.

This chaos went on for a good while before the room shook and they all quieted down. Another note fell from the ceiling and right into Athena's lap.

"Oh stop panicking and just read the books! You'll know why they are here" she read and the gods settled down. Though none of them looked comfortable in the least.

"Piper Mclean" the girl with brown hair introduced herself and immediately the symbol of Aphrodite appeared over her. Silena looked at her sister curiously.

"Leo Valdez" the elf looking boy said with a grin. Over him the symbol of Hephaestus shone brightly and Beckendorf turned to the boy. He too was curious about his half brother.

"Reina Ramirez, daughter of Bellona" the girl with the look of a warrior introduced herself. No one reacted to this, Bellona not being present there herself.

"Frank Zhang" the boy with the big build introduced him. Ares' form trickled for a moment and mars came out to claim his child.

"Hazel Lavesque, daughter of Pluto" the form of Hades shifted to Pluto for a moment and they both looked very confused at the girl.

"Bianca Di Angelo and my brother Nico Di Angelo" the girl introduced herself and her brother. The mark of Hades shone brightly over them.

Zeus wanted to protest against his older brother this time but the warning from Hera and the look Hades was giving him kept him at bay. This was not the best time to fight.

"Well that's everyone" Athena said and immediately picked up the first book. Many gods rolled their eyes, typical Athena and her thing for knowledge.

"Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" she read the title and said boy just groaned. She looked at the sea spawn and scowled slightly before she calmed her features. She might hate his father but this boy has not done anything to her yet so she would reserve judgement for now, that was the wise decision after all.

"I ACCIDENTALLY VAPORIZE MY PRE-ALGEBRA TEACHER" she began with a raised eyebrow.
