Roran led his scout team out into the forest on the Varden's left flank. They trod carefully in the shadows and checked for signs of life. There were plenty of deer tracks as far as Roran could see but so far no human life. The scout team reached the edge of a forest glade and paused momentarily. They got a moment of warning before there was a crack and a flash of light and two unconscious teenagers fell out of mid-air into the clearing. Before the scout team could react there was another flash of light and two dragon eggs fell from the sky onto the stomachs of the two teens. The boy didn't react but the girl moaned softly. She stirred quietly and with another moan became conscious. Roran signalled to his team to stay hidden. They crouched silently in the shadows watching. The girl picked the stone off her stomach and examined it carefully. Roran could tell from the confused look on her face that she had no idea what it was. She set it aside carefully and glanced over at her companion. Noticing his stone she put it on the ground beside him. Roran watched amused as she shook him. When he did not stir she called his name softly.

"Percy."

When this elicited no reaction she shook him harder and called his name again, louder.

"Percy wake up."

The boy groaned and curled up into a ball. Rolling her eyes and muttering to herself in a foreign language she stood up and towered over the boy.

"PERSEUS JACKSON WAKE UP! Or so HELP me I will feed you to the hellhounds MYSELF!"

The boy started awake and jumped to his feet. He looked around wildly.

"Hellhounds? Where?"

The girl burst out laughing. The boy glared at her sullenly.

"It's not funny Annabeth! For all I knew there could have been hellhounds."

She laughed louder. He just groaned defeated.

"Couldn't you find a quieter and less stressful way to wake me up?"

She shook her head still giggling.

"Annabeth it's not that funny, besides shouldn't we be trying to figure out where we are?"

"The forest."

"No duh Wise Girl but which forest?"

"Isn't this the Camp forest?"

"Obviously not."

"Di immortales where else could it be?"

"Neverland?"

"Ha ha Seaweed Brain but seriously."

"I don't know the last thing I remember is Hera…"

"Asking us to undertake a quest."

"Demanding more like. If you don't save my pet world you will be destroyed."

"I don't think she used the word destroy. It was something more like erase."

"So sue me. I'm terrible at Ancient Greek."

They then switched to a language that Roran didn't understand. They spoke a few sentences before returning to Alegaesian.

"See you're not that bad."

"Just throw the damn Drachma."

To Rorans surprise the ground around her feet bubbled and then a spout of water appeared and sprayed down to create a rainbow. The girl threw the coin into the rainbow and intoned a prayer.

"'O Iris goddess of the rainbow accept my offering show me Chiron at Camp Halfblood."

Roran watched amazed as an imaged formed in the rainbow. Both the girl and the boy looked surprised. The girl gave a small bow but the boy stayed upright.

"Lady Hera, I am confused. I asked for Chiron."

"Oh Annie sweetie."

From the look of revulsion on the girl's face Roran could tell she hated both the name and the endearment. He could also see that while they both respected the woman they both disliked her intensely.

"This is my world, dear, and I control where any communicational Greek magic is pointed there. Oh no don't worry I won't interfere too much but I will gift you with the magic of the Ancient Language Annabeth."

"What about me Lady Hera?"

"Oh no Percy I haven't forgotten you. You have all the power you need after all. Alegaesia absolutely flows with magic. It should be easier for you than at home dear. Before I leave, now what am I forgetting? Ah yes here."

Hera clapped her hands twice and two objects fell out of the sky. The two teens dived out of the way and the objects missed them by inches.

"Gee thanks."

Percy mumbled sarcastically rubbing the back of his neck.

"You're welcome dears. Oh and one more thing,"

Hera looked over at the two dragon eggs.

"You can hatch now, and dears?"

Hera looked at the two teens again.

"Try not to kill the dragons, after all these ones are actually intelligent."

The two teens looked shocked.

"What do you mean by intelligent? All the dragons do in our world is try to eat us!"

"Not in this world dear. Now I'll leave and let Roran lead you two to the Varden. Goodbye dears."

The image dissolved.

"Hera wait. Who is Roran?"

Roran stepped out of the shadows and stood behind them.

"That would be me."
