3rd pov:
Percy, Grover, Annabeth, Chiron, and Leo Augustus sat around the table on the porch of the big house. Mr. D had left for the emergency council meeting, but not before giving the Leo Saint a sever warning on what would happen if he were to attack camp again. Augustus wore a neutral look on his face, Chiron sported a calm one, Percy and Grover both looked nervous and scared, while Annabeth was somewhat proud of being the one who took care of the situation.

"Well then," Chiron addressed the demigods, "I'm sure some of you have questions. Me and Augustus will gladly answer them."

Augustus shrugged, "Ask away."

Annabeth started, "What exactly are the Saints?"

"The Saints of Athena are a group of mortal men, who possess an ancient power. Our order was founded to protect humanity from. The wrath of the Gods." Augustus explained.

"Wrath of the Gods? You mean they've actually tried to destroy all of humanity before?" Percy gaped.

While Chiron grimaced, Augustus snorted, "Perseus, if we Saints made a list of everytime a God tried to destroy humanity, we would be here a while."

This news shocked the demigods, and satyr.

"Why did you try to kill me?" Percy demanded

Augustus turned to Chiron "Didn't I state my reasoning before I attacked?" He asked the centaur.

Chiron shrugged "I think a more thorough explanation is warranted here."

Augustus nodded. He turned to Percy "I'm sure you already know that the Big 3 made an oath not to have demigod children anymore."

Percy nodded

"Well needless to say, when Poseidon claimed you, which meant he openly admitted that he broke the oath, there was a wide variety of reactions. Zeus is, without a doubt, angered beyond reason, I don't really know about the other Gods but Athena, my patron, was concerned of what your existence could mean for the future of Olympus. Not wanting to take any risks, she decided to send me to take you out."

Augustus sighed "It is most definitely not as simple as letting bygones be bygones, but I was only following orders. I hope you can understand."

Percy nodded in understanding, though he was very nervous around the Leo Saint.

Chiron patted Percy on his shoulder. "I'm sure there are more questions, but I'm afraid we must prioritize. Tell me, Percy," he said. "What did you make of the hellhound?"

Augustus frowned "Hellhound?"

They gave him the short version of everything that happened

Augustus laughed when Percy told him about how he broke Clarisse's spear "Nice job" he told the Son of Poseidon

He frowned when he heard about Annabeth's strategy of using Percy as bait "As a fellow strategist, I agree that your plan was tactiful and well thought out, but I'm quite against putting my allies in danger unless they agree to."

Annabeth shrugged at this, unable to disagree.

Percy pov:
"Tell me, Percy," Chiron said. "What did you make of the hellhound?"

  Just hearing the name made me shudder.

  Chiron probably wanted me to say, Heck, it was nothing. I eat hellhounds for breakfast. But I didnt feel like lying.

  "It scared me," I said. "If you hadnt shot it, Id be dead. "

  "Youll meet worse, Percy. Far worse, before youre done. "
