A/N:

Hello readers. I just want to apologise because. A) I haven't updated in a while. And B) This story is going to switch perspectives a lot. (I sincerely hope you guys are ADHD. Otherwise you are in for one heck of a mess) Hope you like it anyway. (Sorry if the writing style is a bit awkward. It feels kinda unnatural to write these two of these perspectives in third person.)

Magnus:

Magnus Chase wasn't used to faces appearing in the rainbows made by the steam from the jacuzzi in his bathroom at Hotel Valhalla. -Usually when other worldly deities wanted to communicate with him they just dropped him through time and space until he reached their destination. That or they transformed themselves into giant eagles and dragged him across the rooftops of Boston. (Yeah. He was still a little sore about that.)- So when his cousin Annabeth's voice sounded out of the mist, he jumped a foot in the air, splashing water all over the bathroom floor. "Magnus." She sounded tired and drawn. "Sorry to contact you out of the blue, but- Are you taking a bath in swimming trunks?" "Uh- this is a jacuzzi." Magnus said cautiously. Don't get him wrong, he was thrilled to see Annabeth but their average meeting were typically not on happy terms. "Anyway, What's up 'cuz?" Annabeth sighed heavily. "Well… Not much is up. But my life has certainly taken a downward spiral." Magnus held up a finger. "I'm going to stop you right there. I am still half naked and I find that bad news is best taken, fully dressed and in a sitting position. With chocolate." Magnus climbed out of the tub and headed through his suite. He returned a moment later wearing a fresh t-shirt and sweatpant. "It appears." He announced. "That Alex has eaten all my chocolate. And I now have none left whatsoever." He sat on the closed lid of the toilet. (Not the most dignified position, granted, but it was a bathroom. It wasn't like there was a couch next to the sink. (There actually was. But upon his insistence, the Ravens that serviced Magnus' room had removed it.)) "I need your help, Magnus." Annabeth was almost crying. "You and your team. The world is in danger again and this time. It involves all of us."

Carter:

Carter was used to birds, living in Brooklyn he was often dive bombed by kamikaze pigeons looking for food. The egyptian gods sometimes came to him in the form of birds. (Only they knew why.) But what he was not entirely prepared for that day as he was walking home from the corner shop, was a black winged shape swooping toward him. As he got a closer look, he soon realised that it was Percy Jackson, sitting atop a black winged stallion. He landed on the sidewalk and slid off his mount's back. "Dude." He said. He was panting hard, as if from the lack of oxygen. "S-sorry t-to interrupt a perfectly ..good afternoon." Carter placed his hand on Percy's shoulder to steady him. "That's cool dude. Are you good?" Percy nodded his head. " You gotta take me to Brooklyn House. Now, it's an emergency." Carter was speechless for a second then he nodded. "Of course. Anything." He started off in the direction of Brooklyn house, but before he could get very far, Percy's stallion gave an insistent nicker. Percy turned around and shot him an annoyed look. "Not now Blackjack!" He turned back to Carter. "Always with the doughnuts!" Carter decided that he wasn't even going to ask. "Coffee?" Carter offered him one of the takeaway cups he was holding. "It was for Sadie, but I think you need it more." Percy made a face. "I hate Coffee." But he took the cup anyway and took a huge swig. Then he seemed to remember himself. "We gotta go. Come on, run!" They took off. Pounding down the pavement, eliciting some glares from a few elderly passersby. They raced up the stairs to Brooklyn House. "Hello, brother dearest." Sadie said as they burst in the door. "I hope you brought my coffee- Oh, Hello Percy. Long time no see."

"Can't stop to talk." Carter yelped as Percy pushed him past her. "Important stuff-"

"Study." Percy demanded. Carter led the way up several flights of stairs toward his office. We shove open the door. Percy groaned. Carter's desk was a mess of wet paper and shards of glass. The books from his shelves were strewn all over the floor. The whole room was a whirlwind of paper and Chaos. There was a spell cast on the toppled bookshelf. Hadi. Bring down. "Oh gods." Said Sadie's voice behind them. She pushed past the two of them and walked around the desk slowly. She knelt and reached out her hand to pick up a broken object. "Oh gods." Almost never before had Carter seen Sadie so shaken. Sadie held up the base of a broken snow globe, the glass jagged and smashed. The little snowman inside was missing its head. "He's gone." She raised her head to look at them. "Setne is gone."

Hazel:

"Hello, sister." Said a dry voice behind her. Hazel jumped and whirled around. Behind her, with his hands shoved in his pockets. His hair combed. (Will's doing no doubt.) The boyfriend in question stood beside Nico, awkwardly surveying the Roman camp. Hazel almost screamed in delight. ( Thank goodness she didn't, that kind of behaviour would be unbecoming of a Centurion.(Terminus would have her head.))She ran to them and enveloped the two in a bone crushing hug. "Nico." She pulled back to look at him. "How have you been? Why didn't you come to visit sooner? Hello Will!"

"Nico." Said a voice behind them. Frank reached them in a few short strides. He enveloped Nico in a hug. Nico shot Hazel a desperate look over Frank's shoulder. "Frank." She said, laughter apparent in her voice. Will, it seemed was trying his best to hold in his humour too because he clapped a hand over his mouth and his shoulders were shaking. "Oh, sorry." Frank set Nico down and stepped back. His face was pink. "Um- Uh, it's good to see you. How have you been?"

"Good thanks." Nico said coolly. " But now is no time for catching up. We need to speak with you guys and Reyna. Urgently."

Hazel was ridiculously happy to see her brother and a bit sad that he hadn't come to see her, but she sucked it up and led the group toward the Preator's tent. She pushed open the flap and led them inside. Reyna was standing with her back to them pouring over some maps on her desk. Her hand were planted firmly on the surface and she was muttering angrily under her breath. Hazel cleared her throat. "Reyna?" The other girl let out an angry sigh. "What is it? I'm busy."
"There's someone here to see you." Hazel stepped aside to let Nico walk past her. Reyna turned around slowly, a frown still on her face. Then she caught sight of Nico and a huge grin broke over her face. She almost looked happier to see him than Hazel had. "Nico!" She strode over and wrapped her arms around the son of Hades. To Hazel's surprise Nico hugged Reyna back. When they broke away, both of them had tears in their eyes. "I've missed you." Reyna sighed. "You have to visit more often!"

" Yeah." Nico pulled away, straightening his bomber jacket. "But we have more pressing matters." Then he explained everything. "The goddess Hestia came to Camp Half Blood and she said that Percy had to get a team together, because the world was in danger. You know Norse mythology-the Vikings? And Egyptian. They are real. Just the same as our gods. And they have Half Bloods too. The Egyptians have this evil magician guy called Setne. Long story short. He died. He escaped punishment. He was captured by Egyptian magicians. He escaped again. The end. The Norse god of trickery Loki was locked up. He escaped. He was locked back up again but his conscious is still wandering. We believe he is in kahoots with Setne. We are not sure how this relates to greek mythology but since it was a greek god who warned us about this and she came to Camp Halfblood." He heaved a sigh. "This is not your quarrel. It has nothing to do with the Romans. You can choose to sit out, but you promised us help when we needed it, and on behalf of the whole world, we are asking for your help." Reyna's lips twist up into a bitter smile. "You are a smooth talker, Ambassador of Pluto." Nico grins ruefully. "We understand if you can't answer right away. If you need a vote at the senate."

"No." Reyna stood to her full height. "There will be no vote necessary. Of course. We will come when you call for aid. In the meantime, Frank and Hazel will accompany you back to Camp Halfblood. The two together are better than any army I can give you." Hazel gaped at Reyna. She must think things were pretty serious to be letting the two of them go. A Centurion was precious enough, but her fellow Preator? "Reyna-" Frank began. "No arguments." Reyna cut her off. "You are more use to them than you are to me, and I am sure that you will be happy to see your friends again. Send my best wishes to Coach Hedge." She looked straight at Nico. "I have one question though."
"Anything." Nico said solemnly. Reyna pointed to Will. "Who is that?"

Nico flushed an even deeper red than the seat cushions. "Um… Reyna , this is my, uh- boyfriend, Will." Reyna shot him a wicked grin.
