"CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?" Lucia asked as she stood up pulling up Bianca and Nico from the ground before bending down to hold Grover against her

"Language." one of the 'hunters' who Lucia assumed was Zoë said

"language my butt. I need an explanation." she snapped fed up with whatever the hell was going on, she put her free hand on her hip like her dad used to do when she was about to get in trouble

"I-i would like one too." Bianca asked, raising her hand "who are you people."

The girl who was apparently Artemis' expression softened. "It might be a better question, my girls, to ask who are you? Who are your parents?"

Lucia refused to speak as Bianca glanced nervously at her brother, who was still staring in awe at Artemis.

"Our parents are dead," Bianca said. "We're orphans. There's a bank trust that pays for our school, but..."

She faltered. it seemed that they didn't believe her.

"What?" she demanded. "I'm telling the truth."

"You are a half-blood," Zoë Nightshade said. Her accent was hard to place. It sounded old-fashioned like she was reading from a really old book. "One of thy parents was mortal. The other was an Olympian."

"An Olympian...athlete?"

"No," Zoë said. "One of the gods."

"Cool!" said Nico.

"No!" Bianca's voice quavered. "This is not cool!"

Nico danced around like he needed to use the restroom. "Does Zeus really have lightning bolts that do six hundred damage? Does he get extra movement points for—"

"Nico, shut up!" Bianca put her hands to her face. "This is not your stupid Mythomagic game, okay? There are no gods!"

"My head hurts" Lucia whined, "can I go to my dorm now."

"No, you can't leave. You have to come with us" Grover spoke up,  his head rested on her shoulder "You're a half-blood too."

"and why didn't you tell me this!" Percy yelled

"I can assure you I'm not." Lucia nodded "Nice reunion we have here but it's too cold out here for my liking. Nico Bianca let's go."

Lucia passed Grover to Zeus girl, who she now learned was named Thalia, and went to walk away

Bianca stepped forward ready to pull Nico with her when the three of them were stopped by 'Artemis'

"My dear girl, we are telling you the truth no matter how outrageous you may believe it to be you are the offspring of a god and a mortal."

"Well then. If you're so sure who is my parent." Lucia asked sarcastically. Before she knew it a flash of light exuded from her in front of everyone. Everyone turned away at the sudden brightness. She heard people groan as warmth filled her veins, she gasped as what looked like gold glitter fall from the sky all around her.

"he's so annoying" Artemis frowned

"Who?" Lucia asked as the brightness went away.

She noticed the snow around her and only around her had melted away. She looked up to see a golden symbol: A sun with 21 rays made of arrows appeared over her head, It flickered before a lyre appeared in its place
