"oh goddess except my offering,Chiron camp half blood"The Percy said
"Percy what is the matter"Chiron asked quickly
" there is a god in the school" He said out of breath
"what do you mean?" chiron asked
"a freshman named Harmony Mell walked by me today she is only like 9 but someone said she is 12 and I felt like she was a goddess but also Grover said she had the faint smell of a demi-god." Percy replied
" i will alert Olympus expediently keep an eye on her Percy" Chiron said waving his hand to cut the connection
"Chiron what is going on that you disturb me like this" Zeus said angrily
" I am sorry Zeus but Percy just alerted me that there is a god pretending to be a mortal human" chiron replied
" so what is the problem with that it was probably Artemis again" Zeus replied
"well ,maybe but apparently she is part mortal too."Chiron replied
Zeus bellowed in rage and confusion he called out to the other gods and goddesses "every one is to report to Olympus for immediate lock down."
Zeus then went into the council room were the other council gods and goddess were appearing.
" i will ask you first is it one of you." Zeus said sternly everyone replied "no" but Athena and Poseidon gave each other a quick glance and diverted there eyes suspiciously.
"does one of you two know who it is?>" Zeus asked calmly
"well she isn't a goddess technically" Poseidon said
"what do you mean?' Zeus asked getting mad. and that is how it all started and how I am standing here today.
chapter 1
I walked out of my room with Mizuki and Rosie with me.I saw this senior who had been sorta stalking me. i hid back hopping that he would leave s I cursed in ancient Greek under my breath an said"may I help you Percy Jackson?"I had no clue how I new his name and apparently he was stunned to but then he said "oh nothing and turned around and went to class saying oh what did they do in Greek witch is"ooh τι έκαναν!",
I yelled back at him "είσαι τόσο ηλίθιος"witch is you are so stupid in Greek.Then stormed away Rosie freaking out on her crutches because she has a muscular disorder. Mizuki was just standing there scared I went into class muttering"γιατί είναι πάντα μου;" witch is why is it always me in Greek.I went into Latin. "Salve velit class page patent in libro XXVII." my teacher Mr Husser said. i replied "ΚαλΕμάÃÂα κα Hasser"
"no miss Mell it is Mrs Salve Hasser that is Greek for good morning." Mrs Hauser replied. I crouched down in my seat how embarrassing and when did I learn Greek? I listened in class I got it pretty much got it all. After school I went back to my door and walked into the bathroom the water was running and there was some gold on the sink I picked it up and flipped it it had Greek pictures on it that is weird a rainbow came and a voice said heaven knows were from "please deposit coin" I didn't know what I was doing but I just instinctively threw the coin into the rain bow and it disapeired! a picture came in of a girl who wasn't looking much. She had long blond hair like me and I would say she is about 17 she had striking stormy gray eyes.He wasn't looking at me but said" so Rose what is up with the two girls the one with the gray eyes but black hair that you thought might be my half sister.wait wait she is not that important except for the fact that she is over aged so why isn't she here. The other girl the goddess sorta thing. what is up with her Harmony" Did she just say my name! she looked up and saw me not Rose "ohh who are you you must be Harmony Roses roommate Hi I am her sister did you know there was a video chat camera in here." She said biting her lip.so I knew she was lieing.
"Είσαι ηλίθια, όπως η άρια" i replied In greek
" did you just say what do you think I am a stupid Ares? In Greek?" she asked " you know what it doesn't matter tell Rose I called I will tell mom she loves her bye" she said and it went blank.
Ok that was weird I thought.I decided not to tell Rose about her "sister" until I got more info. I walked out to find Rose and Mizuki studying for the midterms in Greek class and Latin.I looked at the ancient Greek writing and I under stood what it said though it was stupid phrases likethe cat ranorthe boat floats on the waterThen i looked at the Latin text book and it was the same. Mizuki and Rose were fine with the Greek so after I helped them with the Latin we quizzed each other on the Greek Gods
" God or retribution" Mizuki called out
"Nemusous " Rose and I would reply
"God or the night"Rose would say
"Nye" Mizuki and I would say
for some reason I couldn't think of Jupiter as Zeus,Pluto as Hades,Trident as Poseidon and all the Male gods I could only get the Roman names but the Greek girls.
I lied down in bed and put on my one way night mask. I could see out but you can't see in. I watched Rose. i saw her go to the sink and make I rainbow she then said " oh goddess except my offering the big house camp half blood" She then waited and I saw the girl I had talked to before a boy with dirty blond hair and sky blue eyes and a CENTAUR did i maybe fall asleep? I listened as the blond girl Annabeth said "Ok Rose Harmony picked up my Iris and I told her it was a video chat thing and I was your sister. I can't believe I did that."
"maybe that is why he was acting so weird when she came out of the 'bathroom. " Rose replied looking over to me"
"Rose have you met Jason son of Jupiter? "The centaur asked
"you mean Zeus Chiron?" Rose asked
"no actually Chiron is right my dad is Jupiter I am actually Thalia's little brother but under Jupiter." The boy apparently named Jason said. Both the girl,Annabeth and JAson were wearing orange tee shirts that daid in Greek writing Camp Half blood
"So what information can you give us on the girls" Annabeth asked
"well Harmony speaks both Latin ad Greek" Rose started
"well maybe she is Roman beacuse I speak Latin but I guess not Greek" Jason said looking down
"Well anything Godly about her?"Annabeth asked" She seemed pretty normal when I talked to her"
"well no but I can still feel the god but smell the Half blood" Rose replied questioningly looking at me
"Any sign of Monsters like a bull man" Annabeth said looking at her beaded necklace t has `10 beads on it and a ring. I saw she was twirling around a trident.
" Any news on Percy" Rose asked sympathetically looking at Annabeth
"well we know were he is" Jason put in......." he is at my camp the Roman camp half blood ....but when you first get there you have to show strength or you are eaten by the wolves but well that would be kinda hard t do if he has no memories like I did." Jason finished
"he would have them by now"Annabeth croaked Then ran out of the room
" I could see tears in Chiron's eyes. I am guesting that if this is not a dream that he is Chiron trainer of Hercules but not sure but if He is then I know that he must be thinking of all the demigods he has trained that have left him."I take it she thinks he didn't make it?" Rose said
"well we are trying to show her reason that Juno would have sent another Greek if he died but she is being unreasonable." so what can you tell us about Harmony.?' The centaur Chrion asked
"well I talked to Rachel yesterday ad she said she had spoken in Greek to her....."
" that is weird... Jason said
"any news on the 5 others?" rose asked biting he lip.
"no sadly...... we think to get 3 more roman and two more Greek but....." Chiron said
"how is Piper?" Rose asked
"fine she is head councilor of Aphrodite cabin now" Jason said with a certain gleam in his eyes. then heard Mizuki start to stir and Rose say "got to go talk to you later wait for me to call you next time."
I then fell asleep and woke up at 5 the next morning.When I woke I couldn't help but think of my dream but it as so realistic what would I do? I must be going crazy if it wasn't a dream.
I got dressed in some jeans a green tee shirt.It was June 20 the. and about 80 outside. I go to Nantucket boarding school on well Nantucket island of the coast of Massachusetts. We had our finals today and then we were out of school for the summer.I brushed my wavy blond hair ht goes a little bit past my waist. and threw it in a pony tail.. i decided to pack know since I had a feeling I wouldn't have time later. I started to pack and then realized that the reason I couldn't see was because I had forgotten to put my purple glasses with round lenses on. I snuck under my bead witch wasn't hard since I am only 4 foot 5 and weigh a measly 49 pounds. I packed up all my clothe and by 7 I was ready for break fast. I had some eggs and Mizuki Rose and I quizzed each other. i kept making sure to use words I had heard in Rose's conversation last night Like when Rose asked me to name a here I did Perseus and Jason. I asked who Charon was and many other things. At 8 am everyone was in the cafeteria arranged in groups of 4. one 5th grader and across from them a sixth grader next to the fifth grader a 7th grader and across from them an eight grader. So you could only see test different then yours.first was English The test was pretty easy and I pushed through my dyslexia and read.Yes erre I am dyslexic. I read by just reading backwards. like if you see the word tact i just read words from right to left and I can read.It took me a few years to learn but I did. After that we had math and science. then we had a fifteen minuet break and then history Greek and Latin. All my tests were easy but Greek and Latin must have been a joke they were so easy. I mean how could you not be abl to read those passages.After the tests on the way back up to my dorm. t happened. first I saw the first head then the second and third. Then I saw what was on it. It was a huge guy. who looked mean. the first thought i had was Ares Greek god of war. But the Greek gods don't exist. But what about everything that had been happening maybe there were Greek gods.Then I heard Rose scream. and another girl with bright red hair run up and say ares fgo away."Yup the Greek gods were real. I saw Mizuki buckle up next to me and I realized she had no clue what was gong on.
"sorry goat girl and spirit girl. My daddy sent me for the Roman girl."The guy Ares said.
"oh you mean me?" i said looking at Rose"what did you really think I was that stupid." I said I had been waiting for this. "ok Ares two questions one Ares or Mercury two why are you on a Hydra?"
"ahh well that is not necessary and I am Ares not Mercury fool." He said
"we just making sure but one question why does Zeus want to see little old me." i knew Ares was ling so I was going to make him admit it.
"well because you are a goddess." he said
"no I am not my mom was a human.Well one of them." I replied
"fine he doesnt want to see you untill the 21t but he seemed like there was a prize on your head s I was going to get it." Ares replied a sword appearing i hos hand. I then saw a pen on the ground with Greek writing and clicked it. It suddenly turened intk a silver sord.
"Try me"I replied blocking his blow.
He attacked me and I pushed back harder. Just being around him made me angry and it gave me power. I could tell he was no brains all bronze so I decided to slide under him. I slid underhim and hit him hard in the back before he could even turn around.
Ares fell forward in surprise but slashed around and hit me. That is when the weird thing happened. My air got a deep cut but as soon as it came my arm glowed gold and it healed over. Ares was so surprised that I could get him good and kill the hydra. As he teleported out he said " what just happened" and left completely confused
Rose stared at me and whimpered "how long have you known?"
" ho ho honestly I'm not sure. I I've knows something was up since that senior Percy started stalking me and then I talked to Annabeth and I heard you talking to her last night and well It just came to me with other things but now now everything else is just gone." i muttered
" WHAT IN THE DEVILS NAME JUST HAPPENED!" Mizuki screamed Then I saw Rachel run down the stairs and say "ohh Zeus we need to get you guys out of here." Then Rose grabbed Mizuki and Rachel grabbed me and said "run now talk later. " but I ran away from her and pulled the fire alarm. I just knew in the bottom of my heart that that was something I had to do so then I ran out of the school and went into the woods alone waiting for Rachel, Rose, and Mizuki to catch up to me. That is when I saw them. One at first then more I whispered "Άρτεμις?" Or Artemis? in Greek and my question was answered in a second when I saw a girl about 16 with black hair and punk clothes and then in my mind I saw a girl about 12 running up a hill a satyr and two kids a boy and a girl next to her and the the 12 year old said "Grover get Annabeth and Luke over the border I will hold them off then I saw a Minotaur and some other creatures coming up a hill and attacking the girl. She fought and fought well but their were to many and she got knocked down. She was dieing and then a force came about and the girl disappeared replaced with a tree. Then I whispered Thalia and at that second Rose, Mizuki, and Rachel came and Rachel just looked at the punk girl and said clearly anoid "NOW". Well Rose just said "no way it can't be" and suddenly a girl only about 13 stepped out of the trees and I saw Rose get down on one knee in respect and tell Mizuki too and so did all the other girls along with a disgruntled Rachel. Only me and the 13 year old were left standing. I felt her power and I knew I should get down on I knee but I resisted. Something made me resist.
Then the 13 year old laughed and every one, me included, became confused. She then said, "Well that couldn't have been any easier, could it Harmony."
"No I guess if you were looking for me it wasn't. Now, if you were looking for Hades now that is a different story." I felt a tremble of the ground at my casual use of the god of the Dead's name and everyone but Mizuki's bewilderment that after insulting a goddess by using the name of a god I was still alive but the girl said to me
"do you know who I am!"
"well I'm pretty sure you are either Diana or Artemis but hey I've been wrong before." i said shrugging
Then the punk girl said " why would you even say Dian.... wait are you are you like hi... him." I saw the color drain out of her face and tear stain her eyes.
"That is what Zeus wants to know Thalia that's what Zeus needs to know." I Saw a gentleness I hadn't seen before come in the Artemis's eyes. Then she turned to me and the strength once again returned.
"Harmony you have caused a bit of trouble and you have been requested to go to Olympus immediately." then she looked at Rose, Rachel, and Mizuki. "get her out of here and to camp. her mother had mentioned her to me but doesn't have time to claim her at the moment. Then Artemis grabbed my hand and I was wondering what I had done that had gotten me in trouble. Keeping myself from getting killed?
"wait who is her m..." Rose asked but Artemis never answered beacuse i was engulfed in a ball of gold light and I saw myself flying trough the air and in a split second I was in New York at the empire state building.
I had only ever been to New York once. I was only seven and my mom took me their for my vacation to go to the American Girl Museum. I don't remember much after that but I do remember being gone from home for a while. Then when I got home that was the first time I had ever got attacked by a monster. That was the year my mother enrolled me into my first boarding school and left me there. Now I'm back and it all makes scene now. How my entire life comes back to me at times then I remember it forever. But it comes back a piece at a time.
Now I'm going up to the top floor of the building and facing my future wondering if I would end up forgetting that and ending up having to remember it later. But I don't think so, beacuse since I first came in contact with the mythological world I seem to remember everything. Even the things I try to forget.
I seemed to zone out for just the right amount of time like always beacuse when I come back to reality Artemis and I are up in the clouds and I get a flash back. A really old one. I was about 1 month old and I was staring up at a woman with blond hair and gray eyes. She was talking to someone and then a gold light flashed and then it all goes blank.
Mount Olympus looks the same now as it did then in that vision the only difference is the buildings seem to still being repaired and I remember a vision I had about a year ago when a huge storm tore throughout the country.
In the vision their was a giant monster storming throughout Manhattan and then a giant pig with a boy flying around on it. It was a strange vision and it was all over but I remember a giant and an army destroying New York and Olympus.
Here on Olympus you can still see the final touches being put on the new buildings and they look really good but I don't have time to think about it beacuse Artemis brings me to this huge door. She says wait out here and DON'T look in until you are brought in then well don't use the sharp tongue you used with me. I can respect it Zeus........ just mind your manners ok. and don't worry."
"um before you go in can I know what I did that got me brought here.?' I honestly though wasn't sure of what I wanted the answer to be but Artemis looked at me with deep sympathy and whispered
"you were born." and with that she went into the golden door and shut the door quickly.
"Percy what is the matter"Chiron asked quickly
" there is a god in the school" He said out of breath
"what do you mean?" chiron asked
"a freshman named Harmony Mell walked by me today she is only like 9 but someone said she is 12 and I felt like she was a goddess but also Grover said she had the faint smell of a demi-god." Percy replied
" i will alert Olympus expediently keep an eye on her Percy" Chiron said waving his hand to cut the connection
"Chiron what is going on that you disturb me like this" Zeus said angrily
" I am sorry Zeus but Percy just alerted me that there is a god pretending to be a mortal human" chiron replied
" so what is the problem with that it was probably Artemis again" Zeus replied
"well ,maybe but apparently she is part mortal too."Chiron replied
Zeus bellowed in rage and confusion he called out to the other gods and goddesses "every one is to report to Olympus for immediate lock down."
Zeus then went into the council room were the other council gods and goddess were appearing.
" i will ask you first is it one of you." Zeus said sternly everyone replied "no" but Athena and Poseidon gave each other a quick glance and diverted there eyes suspiciously.
"does one of you two know who it is?>" Zeus asked calmly
"well she isn't a goddess technically" Poseidon said
"what do you mean?' Zeus asked getting mad. and that is how it all started and how I am standing here today.

I don't remember much after that but I do remember being gone from home for a while. Then when I got home that was the first time I had ever got attacked by a monster. That was the year my mother enrolled me into my first boarding school and left me there. Now I'm back and it all makes scene now. How my entire life comes back to me at times then I remember it forever. But it comes back a piece at a time.
Now I'm going up to the top floor of the building and facing my future wondering if I would end up forgetting that and ending up having to remember it later. But I don't think so, beacuse since I first came in contact with the mythological world I seem to remember everything. Even the things I try to forget.
I seemed to zone out for just the right amount of time like always beacuse when I come back to reality Artemis and I are up in the clouds and I get a flash back. A really old one. I was about 1 month old and I was staring up at a woman with blond hair and gray eyes. She was talking to someone and then a gold light flashed and then it all goes blank.
Mount Olympus looks the same now as it did then in that vision the only difference is the buildings seem to still being repaired and I remember a vision I had about a year ago when a huge storm tore throughout the country.
In the vision their was a giant monster storming throughout Manhattan and then a giant pig with a boy flying around on it. It was a strange vision and it was all over but I remember a giant and an army destroying New York and Olympus.
Here on Olympus you can still see the final touches being put on the new buildings and they look really good but I don't have time to think about it beacuse Artemis brings me to this huge door. She says wait out here and DON'T look in until you are brought in then well don't use the sharp tongue you used with me. I can respect it Zeus........ just mind your manners ok. and don't worry."
"um before you go in can I know what I did that got me brought here.?' I honestly though wasn't sure of what I wanted the answer to be but Artemis looked at me with deep sympathy and whispered
"you were born." and with that she went into the golden door and shut the door quickly.

Chapter 1
Spoiler
The dreams still plague me every night even though I pretended I stopped having them. Now I doubt they are dreams. Sure I'm asleep, but they are way top real to be dreams. Plus I know in the bottom of my head that they aren't dreams. They are real. And these people are really out there, fighting. Frank, Hazel, Percy,Jason,Piper, and Leo. And I don't know why but I feel like I should be out there helping them too.
But that is crazy. What would I do to help them? Tell them how many cups of water a camel can drink in 5 minutes?(400)I can't see the threat but I can feel it, and it is powerful, and not human, celestial.
"Bridie you almost ready?" My best friend and roommate called out to me. We were suppose to be getting read to go into New York City for a Broadway showing of "the Golden Apple" since we just finished reading "The Odyssey." It isn't that big of an endeavor since I go to school Kildion School. Which is right Near NYC.
My school specializes in ADHD and Dyslexic kids. But we also seem to have a decent few kids with physical defects because at least 2 kids are crippled. Now that may not seem like much but it is when in a school with grades 7-12 there is only 102 kids.
I was sent to this school after I flunked out of the last 3 I have been in the last 3 years. They first thought I was just retarded. But then they came up with dyslexia even though it seemed unlikely. So they had me do a IQ test. They did it verbally with pictures since I couldn't read at all. I scored in the genus category. Way in. at 167. 140 was genius. I defiantly wasn't retarded. No, I wasn't retarded I just had severe dyslexia.
Since I started here with the dyslexia help I am now an A+ student. I do especially well in Greek and Latin which I picked up as some extra work. Turns out I am not Dyslexic with those languages. No, I actually know them. Really well.
I put on some Levi skinny jeans, pulled my long wavy blonde hair into a messy bun with a left part, and pulled on a tee shirt it said We do things better in Athens.I had gotten it last year in Athens when I was taken on a school trip there. the cool thing is the front is in Greek and the back English. The weird part is that I can read the Greek easier then the English.
"There you are Bridie the bus is about to pull out."
"Sorry Molly." I said walking down the hall with her. Normally I would run but Molly is one of the two kids who are crippled. And looking at her with her Canadian Crutches I couldn't just leave her behind.
"I was getting worried something had happened to you." Molly said struggling to keep up with me.
I slowed down and said "Like what i had been attacked by a Satyr? I think you have been reading WAY too much Homer."
"Satyrs are on the good side." Molly said defensibly.
"Not if your Hades." I said as I walked outside. The cool wind flew past me.I saw the yellow bus loaded with kids. It looked like everyone in the school was coming. Probably couldn't get a discount for the 8 kids who actually read "The Odyssey."
Molly smiled at me and I helped her on the bus. We sat down for the hour ride to NYC.
It took 2 hours 16 minutes with traffic to get to the theater were "the Golden Apple" would be playing. We didn't have assigned seats besides the seats reserved for us so Molly and I sat up front us being the smallest in the school at 5 foot -1 and 5 foot +1 (Do the math and you get 4 foot 11 and 5 foot 1.) A senior, the other cripple. Sat behind us. That didn't surprise me. Seniors and 7th graders don't normally get along but Molly and Heather, the senior, know each other. They have since the first day. They said it was "the special needs camp." I don't exactly believe them but why should it matter?
The play started out pretty boringly. The coolest part was the effects, the people playing the monsters were really realistic. So realistic they had Molly and Heather cringing.
"They're just actors." I said to them. But I could swear I heard Heather say.
"They don't smell like it."
Yeah, weird right?
After the show the actors decided to come and talk with us so we could ask questions. Not many questions were asked but I asked "did you have to do a lot of research on the myths to effectively portray these roles?"
One of the actors, who had been playing a evil cyclopes, and had makeup on to look like she had only one eye said with a grin, "I knew the myths already pretty well." She said twice and it wasn't until later I learned the reason was because the first time was in Greek. "which Myth is your favorite?" she asked, also in Greek.
"The story of Athena and Arachnid," I replied, in Greek. "It shows how stupid Arachnid is to say she can beat a goddess, who happens to be the goddess of WEAVING, to a weaving contest. The part I like the best though is the part where Arachnids was actually really good so Athena got mad and turned her into a spider. It shows what kind of people the gods were."
Molly and Heather were having panic attacks now. I didn't know why they cared but they were muttering something about insulting the gods. I just ignored them and listened to the rest of the idiotic questions.
But that is crazy. What would I do to help them? Tell them how many cups of water a camel can drink in 5 minutes?(400)I can't see the threat but I can feel it, and it is powerful, and not human, celestial.

I put on some Levi skinny jeans, pulled my long wavy blonde hair into a messy bun with a left part, and pulled on a tee shirt it said We do things better in Athens.I had gotten it last year in Athens when I was taken on a school trip there. the cool thing is the front is in Greek and the back English. The weird part is that I can read the Greek easier then the English.
"There you are Bridie the bus is about to pull out."
"Sorry Molly." I said walking down the hall with her. Normally I would run but Molly is one of the two kids who are crippled. And looking at her with her Canadian Crutches I couldn't just leave her behind.
"I was getting worried something had happened to you." Molly said struggling to keep up with me.
I slowed down and said "Like what i had been attacked by a Satyr? I think you have been reading WAY too much Homer."
"Satyrs are on the good side." Molly said defensibly.
"Not if your Hades." I said as I walked outside. The cool wind flew past me.I saw the yellow bus loaded with kids. It looked like everyone in the school was coming. Probably couldn't get a discount for the 8 kids who actually read "The Odyssey."
Molly smiled at me and I helped her on the bus. We sat down for the hour ride to NYC.
It took 2 hours 16 minutes with traffic to get to the theater were "the Golden Apple" would be playing. We didn't have assigned seats besides the seats reserved for us so Molly and I sat up front us being the smallest in the school at 5 foot -1 and 5 foot +1 (Do the math and you get 4 foot 11 and 5 foot 1.) A senior, the other cripple. Sat behind us. That didn't surprise me. Seniors and 7th graders don't normally get along but Molly and Heather, the senior, know each other. They have since the first day. They said it was "the special needs camp." I don't exactly believe them but why should it matter?
The play started out pretty boringly. The coolest part was the effects, the people playing the monsters were really realistic. So realistic they had Molly and Heather cringing.
"They're just actors." I said to them. But I could swear I heard Heather say.
"They don't smell like it."
Yeah, weird right?
After the show the actors decided to come and talk with us so we could ask questions. Not many questions were asked but I asked "did you have to do a lot of research on the myths to effectively portray these roles?"
One of the actors, who had been playing a evil cyclopes, and had makeup on to look like she had only one eye said with a grin, "I knew the myths already pretty well." She said twice and it wasn't until later I learned the reason was because the first time was in Greek. "which Myth is your favorite?" she asked, also in Greek.
"The story of Athena and Arachnid," I replied, in Greek. "It shows how stupid Arachnid is to say she can beat a goddess, who happens to be the goddess of WEAVING, to a weaving contest. The part I like the best though is the part where Arachnids was actually really good so Athena got mad and turned her into a spider. It shows what kind of people the gods were."
Molly and Heather were having panic attacks now. I didn't know why they cared but they were muttering something about insulting the gods. I just ignored them and listened to the rest of the idiotic questions.
