THREE YEARS LATER:

The seven were at last reunited at Camp Half-Blood. That long awaited touchdown on Festus has finally come true and with Calypso, the Gaea fighting gang was together again. Calypso was now a mortal, so she could live a life with her beloved Leo Valdez.

The seven exchanged stories and when almost all of the stories were done, Percy and Annabeth shared a silent discussion. All of the seven, plus Nico, Calypso, and Reyna were gathered with sleeping bags and they all had decided to sleep under the stars.

"Wait. Before we go to bed, Annabeth and I, we-uh-" Percy said.
"NO WAY." Pipe squealed. "ARE YOU TWO ENGAGED?!"

Hazel's eyes brightened and all of the girls perked up. Nico raised an eyebrow. Annabeth and Percy blushed a deep scarlet.

"N-no, at least not now." Percy said, embarrassed. The girls visibly deflated.
"But, we did have-ah, individual run-ins with some pretty interesting people." Annabeth said.
"Do tell." Leo said.

Calypso rolled her eyes but smiled affectionately at her boyfriend. So, Percy and Annabeth recounted their adventures with the certain Kane siblings. This was the third time they recounted their adventures, once between the couple, once with Chiron and the third time with their friends.

As they told their tales, their friends' faces started to go from pleasant to confused to calculated. When Annabeth finished her story, Frank was the first to talk.

"I really don't know how to react to that. How long ago did this happen?"
"Uhhhhhh......." Percy trailed off, turning to his knowledgable girlfriend.
"Three years."
"Whoa. Good memory." Piper said.
"Have they tried contacting you or have you tried contacting them?" Reyna asked.
"No. Emergencies only." Percy replied.
"And who's this Setne dude?" Jason asked.
"I don't know, but Sadie said his name and Serapis was taken aback. For a thirteen-year-old, she was determined, terrifying, and stubborn. I was taken aback by her confidence. She had obviously gone through some out of this world stuff, like us." Annabeth answered.
"Sounds like me when I was thirteen." Hazel said.
"Get over yourself." Leo said rolling his eyes. Everyone laughed. Hazel spoke up again.
"The Duat sounded a lot like the Mist. I never thought of the Mist as another dimension, though." Hazel said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, I guess." Annabeth said. Silence settled over the group.
"We should get some sleep." Nico said. He looked way healthier and happier than he did three years ago. "We can debate about these magicians later. Maybe we can even IM them, if Iris even likes Isis." Everyone nodded thoughtfully and went to sleep.

After breakfast, the group of ten gathered in Percy's Cabin and created a rainbow.

They made the offering and surprisingly, it went through. The image showed up with an image of the inside part of a house, probably in a sink. There was a deluxe kitchen and a cozy living room. A warm, 40 foot fireplace stood somewhere off in the distance. There was a couch with something that looked strangely like a baboon eating Doritos, watching ESPN.

That's when they heard someone shout, "CARTER!" A girl about sixteen years old stomped into view, her face red with fury and her hands balled into fists. Her hair was dyed red on the tips. Her caramel hair and blue eyes and the combat boots was familiar to Annabeth.

"That's Sadie." Annabeth whispered to her friends. Sadie matured, and her figure was showing through her tight shirt. She looks taller, Annabeth thought.
"WHAT?!" came the somewhat deep voiced reply.
"WHERE'D YOU PUT MY TYET PENDANT?!"
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?"

An African American boy with chocolate brown eyes, a strong body build, tall stature, probably almost 5'9" walks in. He has those robes on like Sadie, when Annabeth and her crossed paths, only his are bigger and he doesn't wear combat boots.

"It's C-" Percy began to say.
"You'll summon Carter if you say his name, remember?" Hazel and Nico hissed.
"Sorry." Percy mumbled.
"Seriously, did you take it?" Sadie asked.
"No, I'm Horus's host, remember?" Carter replied, crossing his arms.
"No, I totally forgot." The girl sarcastically replied. Carter eyes his sister.
"Is it that time of the month again?" Carter questioned. Sadie gave her sibling a glare.
"No, and that stuff is none of your business." She replied.
"Then, why are you stressing over the pendant? It's on your neck." Carter pointed to her neck.
"Oh, oops."
"Sis, what's going on?"
Sadie sighed. "It's been three years, Carter. Three years we've been hunting for Setne. Three years since the Son of Sobek and Serapis himself. Three years since Percy and Annabeth. I guess I'm tired of wondering where Setne is and what he's doing." Carter sighed.
"Not gonna lie, I miss some of the action too." Carter said to his sister.

Percy waved a hand through the IM.
"So, yeah," he said, "that's them."

They all exited the cabin, unaware that they would be seeing the Kane siblings soon.
