~Percy's POV~
I had just walked through the doors of Goods high school ready for my first day back at school after the Giant war and the 8 months that I was 'asleep', or something. I had missed most of the school year and I am pretty sure that my mortal friends will have a lot of questions. Annabeth helped me come up with a perfect cover story that was the truth yet not so. Hopefully, no one will be suspicious. My brilliant plan was in motion and I was using my training from camp to sneak up on them while they were all eating lunch in the cafeteria. I tapped my friend Jack on the shoulder and when he looked up, I jumped to his other side and then yelled "BOO!" They all screamed and another of my friends, Lucy, dropped her sandwich. I started laughing and that's when they registered who was in front of them and they all gave me a giant hug that together could rival Tyson's death hugs.
When they finally let me go they bombard me with questions. I didn't have time to answer any of them because announcements came on. Though, I wasn't actually listening because I was too busy trying to answer my friends questions. What caught my attention was when he said, "We need everyone in the gym for a talk with the Olympian Gods!" I instantly paled.
"Did I just hear him say something about Olympian Gods?" I ask Lucy quickly.
"Yeah, did you not hear, they revealed themselves last week," Lucy answered.
"Oh gods," I thought, "I hope they aren't going to do what I think they are going to do."
As we headed towards the gym my friends explained what happened. When we got gym I saw the Olympians in the front of the room on a stage, sitting in their thrones. As soon as I entered they were all staring at me and that only confirmed my earlier suspicions about their reason for being here.
Once everyone was seated Zeus stood up from his throne and began to speak, "You already know us and if you don't then let me introduce us. We are the Olympians and Hades and Hestia are here as well."
When he had finished speaking everyone stood up and bowed to the Olympians, well everyone except me. Serena one of my closest friends looked at me and whispered urgently, "Percy you need to bow or they will probably incinerate you!" I just frowned and waited for Drama Queen to continue. Zeus sighed and continued his speech, "Today, we are here to share the story of our children. They are halfbloods or more commonly known as demigods. To be specific we are here to tell the story of the greatest hero."
"Ugh, I knew it," I though.
"Hercules?" My history teacher, Mr. Lee asked.
"No, the hero I am speaking of is actually in this room." Everyone started whispering about where he could be when Zeus spoke again. "Perseus Jackson," he thundered. Sighing, I stood up and started making my way over to the front of the room.
"Drama Queen, how many times do I have to remind you that it's Percy!" I could feel everyone staring at me. Probably wondering how I can talk to the King of the Gods so casually, and not get incinerated. As I hopped up into the stage I went over and have my dad a hug and then stood next to him as Zeus continued.
"Percy could you reintroduce yourself and give your full title."
"But it's so long! Do I have too!" I wined. My dad glared at me and once again warned me not to make Zeus mad. "Fine," I muttered.
"My name is Perceus Achilles Jackson, Son of Poseidon, two savior of Olympus, Finder of Zeus' master bolt, beat Ares at age twelve very minimal experience, three time defeater of the Minotaur, Finder of the Golden Fleece, survivor of Circe's island, Held up the sky, gained the respect of Artemis, slayer of the Nemion lion, survivor of the labyrinth, Defeater of Kronos, one of the seven, defeater of Polybotes, Ephialtes, and Otis, and survivor of Tartarus." I say casually and then add, "I still missed a lot but, oh well."
Zeus sighed and snapped his fingers and a book appeared in his hand. "We will be reading a book about part of a quest he and the rest of the seven were on for the last few months."
I paled instantly at the thought of that place. "But first let's call the rest of the seven and some other demigods," Zeus said, snapping his fingers. The rest of the seven plus Nico, Thalia and Reyna appeared. When they saw me they all headed over to join me.
"Demigods will you please introduce yourself and give your full title." A chorus of yes answered him. One by one, they went up to introduce themselves. (a/n I am too lazy to write everyone's titles but you already know them anyway).
Annabeth Chase

Jason Grace

Hazel Levesque
Leo Valdez
Thalia Grace
Reyna Avila Ramirez Arellano

Once they were done introducing themselves Athena stood up and spoke, "I am Athena and I will start reading the book, the book is called The House of Hades".
When she said that I hugged Annabeth and she did the same to me. The gods made some couches for us to sit on and we started to read.
