"Astra!!" Percy yelled as his 7 year old daughter ran ahead. Astra or Asty as her family called her looked just like her father. She had black messy hair that was impossible to tame and bright sea green eyes.

Asty turned around, running backward, and stuck her tongue out at her dad.
"You'll never catch me, Daddy!!"
Percy laughed and pretended to run after her.
It had been 10 years since Percy and Annabeth left Camp Half-blood. Although they missed their friends at camp, the two were very happy. Annabeth had started an architecture company and was doing very well and Percy opened his own aquarium.

The aquarium was becoming very popular, very quickly. Being the boss, Percy hired an assistant to do most of his work so that he could be at home more. Now Percy was at home most of the time, only going to work twice a week.

The kids were all happy to have their dad at home and Percy was happy to be home to see his kids. Because Percy was home, Annabeth could work most of the week without worrying. She had gone back to work a few months ago, after taking a year off after giving birth to their youngest, Hestia.

Tia was now two, she was the perfect mix between her parents. She had her mom's blonde hair and her dad's green eyes. She was also extremely smart and already talked in full sentences.

"Daddy, we are here!" Asty informed him. Percy looked down to see that Astra had come over and was pulling her dad's hand. The two had gone to pick up Asty's brother from Sally's house. Tia was at home with Annabeth.

Percy followed his daughter up the steps to his moms' front door. Asty knocked on the door. She was very excited to see her Grandma and tell her all about how school was going. Asty was almost finished with second grade (to Annabeth and Percy's shock. Their little girl was growing up).

The door opened revealing Percy's little sister Estelle. At only 10 years old, Estelle was already becoming the best aunt ever. She and Asty often walked together to school and Estelle was always ready to help her niece with anything.

Estelle smiled when she saw her brother and gave him a huge hug. Then she turned and hugged Asty too. Estelle quickly pulled her niece into the house, starting a conversation about whatever 7 and 10 year olds talk about.

Percy rolled his eyes at his sister before following them and closing the door. He walked down the hall to the kitchen. Sally was standing by the counter mixing blue cookie batter. Sitting on the counter watching her was a 5 year old boy with blonde hair and grey eyes.

Charlie looked up from his seat by his Grandma, "Daddy!! Grandma is making cookies!!"
To Annabeth's annoyance and Percy's happiness, all of the Jackson kids liked blue food. When Charlie was younger, he would only eat if the food was blue. Because of that, they often ate at Sally's house and Annabeth was always asking Sally for recipes.

"Hey Mom, hi Charlie," Percy said.
Sally smiled at her son, still mixing the dough. Percy walked over, picked Charlie up, and kissed him on the head.
"How was school?" Percy asked.
"It was fun!" 
Charlie was a miniature Annabeth. He loved school and learning and was very smart. Although after an incident involving a shower, a rubber duck, and Percy, they learned he could control water.

Percy and Annabeth had decided they wouldn't tell the kids the truth until they turned 10. Because while Hestia helped block their scent, she could only block it until the kid turned 10. When Charlie controlled the water from the shower, they had to give an excuse. No more incidents happen led and Percy and Annabeth were starting to not worry as much.

"Charlie put your shoes on and get your bag, please. I'll go get Asty."
Charlie nodded and ran to the living room. Percy smiled after him, hugged his mom, and went to find the girls. He found Estelle and Asty in Estelle's room. They were both sitting on the bed and Estelle was braiding Asty's hair.

"Astra, we are leaving soon, please go put on your shoes."

Estelle finished the braid quickly and Asty got up to look for her shoes. Percy hugged Estelle and walked out of the room. He made his way to his old room. Although he lived nearby, Sally refused to change his room. She told him that he always had a room by them and could stay anytime. Percy thought she just wanted to see her three grandchildren more often.

He was standing in his room when a cool breeze blew by him. His hand reached for his pocket where he kept Riptide. On the floor lay a letter addressed to Percy. Percy picked it up and studied it.
This is what it said:
To: Mr. Percy Jackson
From: Chiron
