The Seven and The Titan War

A Response

"Hello!" A fifteen-year-old girl sat behind a desk, waving cheerfully at what seems to be a camera recording this...video? "Due to popular demand, I am here to explain something that was said in the epilogue of this book." Her brown eyes resting on the papers held in her hands.

"There was this part in the dialogue that many had commented on, mainly, well...majority of the comments were words of confusion. I am here to, hopefully, clear things up." She grinned sharply, setting down the papers.

"The section dialogue in question was, and I quote, "Percy, let me lick you." Which as you can imagine sparked a lot of confusion. And as I said before, I am here to-"

"What are you doing?"

A yelp left the girl's mouth. "Percy!" She pouted. "I'm trying to make an apology video for the readers."

"What readers?" The confused voice of Percy Jackson was heard from behind and to the left of the camera.

The girl huffed and crossed her arms, looking away from where the Son of Poseidon's voice was. "This is why I didn't ask you to be a part of this. It would have been much easier and faster if I did this alone. Besides, it was my comment that I need to apologize for." She quickly looked towards him suspiciously. "And shouldn't you be somewhere else at the moment." A pause. "Why are you here?"

A tired sigh was heard throughout the room. Something heavy dropped to the floor. The girl raised an eyebrow and looked towards the camera.

With a sigh, she moved her desk chair over to make room for another one behind the desk. "Unfortunately, this is being live streamed, so I can't exactly start over or anything." She ran a hand through her brown hair. "Might as well join me for this, Perseus." She grinned again. At that moment it resembled a shark.

Another sigh came from off-camera. "Kayla, have you even introduced yourself?"

'Kayla' opened her mouth, froze, and then closed it looking sheepish. "It slipped my mind?" Was said in a questioning tone.

Huffed laughter came from the other person in the room. Percy moved on screen along with another desk chair. Although, he didn't look like the Camp Half-Blood counselor Percy Jackson. He was dressed like Omega, just without the hood. That explains some things.

He sat next to the girl behind the desk. "Before you continue to explain, you should introduce yourself."

She stuck her tongue out in retaliation to the teasing jab. "Anyway," She looked towards the camera looking professional. "Percy did raise a good point. I apologize for not saying anything before this, I was trying to stick to my notes." She looked down at the papers again with a puzzled look on her face. "It seems that in my haste to make this apology video, I forgot to write an introduction for myself. I made so many bullet points and half of them don't make sense." She pouted.

Omega-Percy started laughing, making Kayla pout more.

"The point is!" She spoke over the laughter. "My name is Michaela. I am also known as Alpha, the other one of the 'two very important primordial gods' that The Fates mentioned in the letter they sent to the dining pavilion at Camp Half-Blood." The newly-named Michaela smiled. "You all should know who this is," She gestured to Percy who waved. "Percy Jackson, Son of Poseidon as known as Omega, my counterpart."

"Before you all start asking questions, which I can assure you, I won't be able to hear, just let me explain." She took a deep breath. "It's a long story, one that you will have to find out for yourself as you read the book 'Perseus Jackson and the Element Wolves' which tells our story." She gestured to both Persy and herself.

"They are more books telling of our adventures and our kids' adventures as well. You don't need to read them, but if you want to understand more of what Omega here was saying," She sent a teasing grin to Percy, who rolled his eyes with a small smile. "Then I would recommend reading at least the first book."

Michaela clapped her hands suddenly. "Now that introductions are out of the way, and the shameless plug of the first book on this account, let's get to the apology." She took a deep breath, staring at the camera lens. "I am truly sorry for the inappropriate comment that I made. Percy and I are best friends and when I'm in my wolf form I like to lick Percy on the cheek as a greeting. It can be weird to others, but he doesn't mind. Do you, Percy?" She sent a smile to him, batting her eyelashes.

Percy only laughed and shook his head. "I knew one of these days you would get called out for doing it in public." He stood up and walked away.

Michaela gasped in mock outrage. "Percy!" She whined. "Well, I think that covers everything that I wanted to say." She scanned through the papers in front of her again. "So, I guess this is goodbye-"

"Hold on."

"Percy?" She sent a questioning look off camera.

"Did you explain that you were the one at the end who smiled after the future demigods left their past selves?"

"No, not yet." A pause as she thought it over. "Although, I guess I don't have to say anything now that you have." Another thoughtful pause. "Right?"

Michaela sighed, looking back at the camera. "For those watching, Percy shrugged at my question. Which wasn't helpful!" She raised her voice as if he were further away.

Another sigh. This one sounded more tired. "I guess that's it. Thank you so much for reading this story and coming back to this rather strange explanation/apology response to what happened in said story. And-"

"Percy! Michaela!" A panicked voice called out as what sounded like a door was thrown open.

Michaela blinked over to where the person was, still off camera. "And this is why this video had to be short." She sighed, rubbing her face tiredly.

"Leo, what-"

"Thanks again for reading!" Michaela said, smiling over the panicked ramblings of what sounded like Leo Valdez in the background.

"I hope you enjoyed this...whatever it was." She shrugged, standing up.

Before the screen went black as the livestream ended, the last of the audio could be heard.

"Shut up, Valdez, and explain calmly!" Michaela's voice rang clear.

"Ow!" Along with Leo's pained yelp. 

And I hope this cleared up some confusion. Also, for this be a good enough apology/explanation for a certain comment that was made in the epilogue? *Apologetic and sheepish smile from author*

Seriously though, I really hope you all enjoyed this book that was made like five years ago. Yes, I did place characters from another PJO fanfiction of mine into this story. I was in high school when I wrote this book and my first PJO book series. I feel like I wrote PJO fanfictions the whole time I was in high school. 

Well, thanks again for reading.

P.S. I did write down what I wanted to say in this, but it's been a while and I didn't reread my notes before publishing this. 

I wanted to address the reason why I didn't add The Lost Hero in this book and that's because the story was more about Percy and Annabeth being in Tartarus and their involvement in the Titan War. The Lost Hero was more focused on Jason, Piper, and Leo. While, I have nothing against the book, I just felt that as I was focused more on Percy and Annabeth that I would only do the books that they were a part of the quests. If that makes sense. 

So, yeah, no TLH in this book as it doesn't have Percy in it and barely any Annabeth.
