Percy POV

"Hey Perce." Apollo said with his megawatt grin on his face as I rolled my eyes "Hello Apollo, why did you call me here? Chiron said Grover needed help rescuing two powerful demigods." I said as he waved it off. "It's time for your therapy, remember?" he said as I raised an eyebrow "I had my therapy Wednesday, remember?" I said looking into his eyes. "Well, let's check again. Make sure that you're all fixed up before you head back out into combat." He said putting his hand on my shoulder as we flashed to his temple "Finally, away from prying eyes." he said walking towards the sofa with me behind him.

Ever since what happened with Echidna, the Olympians have been watching me nonstop, trying to figure out my past but with no avail as Apollo looked at me with a serious expression on his face, which slightly startled me since he's always laidback. "Percy, have you felt it?" He said as I sat down on the sofa across from him "What do you mean, Apollo?" I questioned as he rolled his eyes "Percy, while I may act stupid, I'm not. I know you've been feeling the powerful surges?" he said as I sighed and nodded. "Do you know what it is?" He questioned as I shook my head "I have a few possible theories but I can't exactly say which one it is." I said as he gestured for me to continue.

"The first is powerful, ancient monsters that were long forgotten are rising once again. The second is the Titans are rising, which is highly likely." I said as he nodded in agreement "I've told father about it but he just waved it off, saying it's impossible for the Titans to escape Tartarus." he said, shaking his head as I snorted "Zeus won't do anything until the Titans are in Olympus and destroying it, then he'll finally do something." I said as he nodded "Is there another reason?" he said as I hesitated.

After a few seconds, I finally decided to tell him "The last is powerful, ancient monsters and the Titans are rising." I said as he grimaced "Are you training the campers?" he questioned as I nodded "I have been for the last two months nonstop, their improving." I said as he nodded "That's good, now all we need is for the Olympians to get off their lazy butts and do something." he said as I smiled "It'll be a miracle if they did get up and do something once in their immortal lives." I said as he nodded "That would be nice, you better head to help out Annabeth and the others." he said as I nodded, standing up and stretching.

"How's it going with the hunters?" He said suddenly as I looked at him "Good I guess, I don't know where we're at on the scale. On a scale of one to ten, it'll probably be a four to five." I said as he nodded "You did a brave thing, telling them that." he said as I realized he was talking about World War II "I know Apollo, I know." I said softly as he stood up and walked towards me. "Things will get better for you soon Percy, just hang in there a little longer." he said squeezing my shoulder reassuringly.

"That's if I survive to celebrate my sixteenth birthday." I muttered but he heard me, sadly "When you survive Percy. You'll make it through the Great Prophecy." he said with a determined tone in his voice "What makes you so sure, Apollo?" I said picking up my daily pills off the table "You've survived so much Percy, I know you aren't going to die over a stupid choice. That much I can tell you." he said as I nodded "Take your pills every two to three hours, make sure you also eat something small so you don't throw up when you take it." he said as I got ready to light travel away "Yes mother." I said as I got ready to light travel till I suddenly stopped and looked at him.

"Where are Tyler and the others at? I didn't get the briefing." I said sheepishly "Westover Hall in Maine." he said as I thanked him and light traveled away.

Jennifer POV

"Hunters, gather around!" Artemis shouted as we all gathered around her "Zeus ordered us to find a powerful monster." she started as everyone started to whisper excitedly, knowing it's been a while since we've hunt a powerful monster since Percy has been taking care of them before we got the chance to even find them. "Where is it at, milady?" Zoe said picking up her bow "It's in Maine, Zeus also told us to find some powerful demigods." she said as I rolled my eyes, knowing Zeus is just paranoid, wanting to kill anyone who he thinks a threat to his throne.
