Splash! That's what everyone at camp heard at 4 pm. Everyone knew who did it though. It was obvious. The scream from Annabeth Chase only made it more evident. That and her calling out "Seaweed Brain!" The person who caused the splash was Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. The man who was a main part in two wars.
That man is me. Yes, I am Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, the seeker of Zues's Lightning Bolt, searcher of the Sea of Monsters, bearer of the sky, traveler of the Labyrinth, savior of Olympus (twice).
It was hard for people to not know that I sent a wave of water towards Annabeth. See, lately she has been solely working as Architect of Olympus. She has not taken a break in weeks. I only barely was able to convince her to spend her day out at the beach.
Today was July 31, the day before the anniversary of the fall of the Giants, so today and tomorrow, the whole camp got off all chores, classes, and responsibilities due to it being the one year anniversary of saving the world from the giants. Heck, even the hunters were here celebrating too. But Annabeth wasn't partaking in any of the activities. She didn't even plan on being a part of capture the flag tonight.
So I decided to take matters into my own hands. Yeah I splashed her, but it was the only way to get her to stop working. She tried picking up her work stuff. It was still dry because I willed it to be dry. But before she could I used my powers to pull her into the water. She finally gave up and decided to take a break from her work. But I guess the Fates didn't want her to have fun, because immediately the conch shell blew in the distance, signaling dinner.
At dinner, they were serving their once in a lifetime fast food from McDonalds. Yeah, you know the place. The day before Chiron asked which fast food they would want today, and before he could finish the question, Nico raised his hand and practically screamed "Mcdonalds!" We then ate, and put our offerings to the gods in the fire.
Then came the announcements. There weren't many tonight. Just the usual stuff. Then Chiron reminded us about Capture the Flag that evening. He then said that he needed Nico, Leo, Piper, Thalia, Annabeth, and I to report to the big house after dinner. Lastly he gave a toast to the gods and to the one year anniversary of us winning the Second Giant War.
After dinner we headed to the big house. Nico shadow-traveled, Annabeth, Leo, and Piper walked, while Thalia and I ran. We all went up to the REC room, only it was filled with, what looked like a bunch of cosplay items and props. There were big thick bundles of cloth and tons of thin, long boxes. The next thing I saw made weird happiness drain. One of the gods was in the corner of the room talking to Chiron. You actually expect to see this sort of scene at Camp Half-Blood a lot, but it wasn't Dionysus. No, it was Hecate.
You see, gods don't just randomly appear at camp, and when they do, it is usually for a quest. Like when Hermes appeared on the beach, just before I sailed the Sea of Monsters. So when I saw Hecate talking to Chiron, I knew it was no different.
In the corner of the room I saw an old man in what looked to be a thin robe sitting on a chair. And don't think that I am being rude. It was true. His hair was as white as snow.
Chiron turned around, full horse body and all. Then Hecate turned around, and we took to one knee in respect. Chiron then introduced the old man.
"Greetings demigods. I am glad you have come. You may have noticed someone you haven't seen before. Everyone, this is Mr. Garrick Ollivander." I, like the rest of the demigods in the room, shuck Mr. Ollivander's hand and introduced ourselves. "Well then, now that the introductions are out of the way, let's get to what we're all gathered here for."
Hecate then summoned chairs and we sat around the pool table. "So you all might be wondering why you have been summoned here. Well I need a quest." This earned a load of grunts from everyone there, especially me.
"Hear me out. My world is in danger. If my world falls, your world would definitely be next."
"There is a man named Tom Marvolo Riddle, but in my world he is better known as Lord Voldemort. He disappeared awhile ago, but I think he is on the rise again."
Her explanation still didn't turn our moods, so she continued by saying, "Also the gods have sworn that if you take the quest, they will no longer make you do any quests." When she said this, I looked up. I noticed others starting to turn their side on if they want to do this quest, so why not.
"Fine, we will do the quest," I said.
"Thank you. The gods have also decided that they will help you on this quest. This was mainly so I could help you out." All of the demigods decided to do the quest immediately, probably due to the possibility of the gods helping them.
"All right then, now that you all have agreed upon the quest, we shall get you your wands. I have also made you all wizards" I then guessed what the thin, long boxes were. They were containers holding the wands.
Mr Ollivander stood up and said, "Alright before anyone gets their wand, I have to say that it is the wand that chooses the wizard, not the wizard that chooses the wand. That is the reason there are so many boxes around. Everyone here will have their own personal wand. I am also using many different materials than what I would usually use. Now that that's done with, everyone get in alphabetical order. Annabeth Chase, I believe your first."
"Hmm let's see here, yes here it is, Annabeth try this one. Olive branch and owl feather. 11 inches long. Nice and flexible. Go on, give it a wave." Annabeth did and apparently it was the perfect wand because a bright aura went around her.
"Leo Valdez."
"Here you go. Steel and crane feather. 9 inches. Stiff and rigid." Leo then gave it a wave and the same aura engulfed him.
"Nico Di Angelo."
"All right. Obsidian and hellhound hair. 10 inches. Hard and durable." Nico gave it a wave and the same aura surrounded him.
"Perseus Jackson"
I went up to him, gave him my arm and got my wand. "Celestial Bronze and Pegasus hair. 12 inches. Hard and transfigurable." I then gave it a wave and it flowed the aura. But I wondered about the transfigurable part, but then he said, "Your father came to me when I made that wand saying make it so you can turn it into his sword. So that is what it is. There is a slot on the side with a cover on it that is hollow, allowing for you pen to go into it. That also imbues the magic that goes into the pen, into the wand. Nobody can see the slot except for you too. Also only you can access the hatch so don't worry about someone stealing your pen. Another thing is that to all the muggles it looks like a pen. To put it into sword mode simply push on the bottom of the wand when the pen is inside." I then walked out of the way of the next person.
"Piper McLean."
Here's a wand. "Red oak and dove feather. 9 inches. Soft and swishy. She then gave it a wave and the aura appeared around her.
"Thalia Grace."
"How about this one. Cyprus and Eagle tail feather. Hard and durable." Finally she got her wand after the aura surrounded her and Hecate gave him about 50 gold coins. Then Mr. Olivander said goodbye and disappeared. After that Chiron spoke up.
"Okay behind me are black robes with orange highlights. You will wear these when we go to Hogwarts. When we go to Hogwarts, I will be going as Professor Brunner." That made me smile. Then Hecate spoke up.
"You all will be leaving for the quest tomorrow morning. You all and 6 Pegasi which includes Blackjack will be shadow traveled there thanks to Hades. When you get there, you will find a tall house home to the Weasleys. You will stay at a cabin built next to it, spending most of your time there. You will be training to become good wizards."
"Behind me are six stacks of books. They are wizarding books in Ancient Greek. I expect you all you study up on them so capture the flag. These are essential to becoming a wizard in such a short time. Now you all need to go back to your cabins. Don't tell anyone about the details of this quest. If they ask just say you're going on a quest and can't say anything else. Now off to your cabins. You have a lot of studying up to do so you need to go back to your cabins now. You will all need to wake up at 5 so we can leave at six."
