The Son Of Asclepius, Doctor of Divinity

Council Meeting

The scorpions surrounded Percy and Annabeth pretty quickly, snapping and whipping their tails aggressively.

"Are you sure we shouldn't help them?" asked Elara, watching nervously.

(Y/N) swatted his hand.

"If there's anything I know about Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase, it's that they are two very capable demi-gods. Percy can be a little thick and Annabeth too stubborn, but they get the job done together. A power couple of sorts."

Elara nodded, but when they looked back to watch the fight... the demi-gods were gone. Snapping up, he dashed over to Zeus's fist and easily decapitated two of the scorpions, leaving the last one to scurry off. He scoured the whole boulder with the help of Elara, but to no avail. The two had simply vanished. Maybe they had run off into some other part of the woods, they couldn't just disappear.

"Hmm, let's just carry on then. They'll show up at some point."

Moving on from the fist, he encountered another scorpion and seven injured campers before the game ended. (Y/N) had given his red packages to Clarrise, who was crowned winner and bestowed golden laurels. He had crowned Jason with golden laurels last month for winning in the latest gladiator tournament. Anyway, he would have given his red packages to Percy and Annabeth, but they were still nowhere to be found. After reporting to Chiron, he decided to go out and look for them. Ten minutes. Half an hour. An hour. No sign of them. Elara left for bed, which had been mended by Beckendorf, no questions asked. Demi-god of the day there A party was sent out to look for them, no Percy or Annabeth still. Wandering through the forest, night had descended, shrouding camp in darkness. Stumbling over roots and after two hours of searching, he finally heard something; the movement of stone.

"Percy! Annabeth!" 

Tyson's voice bellowed the loudest, but the others were calling out too. 

Moments later, Percy and Annabeth swung around from the corner of Zeus' fist.

"Where have you two been?" Clarisse demanded."We've been looking forever." 

"But we were only gone for a few minutes," Percy said. Chiron trotted up behind, followed by Tyson and Grover. 

"Percy!" Tyson said. "You are okay?" 

"We're fine," Percy said. "We fell in a hole. Honest!". 

"There were three scorpions after us, so we ran and hid in the rocks. But we were only gone for a minute." 

"He's telling the truth Uncle. Last I saw of them they were surrounded, then disappeared."

"You've been missing for almost two hours," Chiron said. "The game is over." 

"Yeah," Grover muttered. "We would've won, but a Cyclops sat on me." 

"Was an accident!" Tyson protested, and then he sneezed.

"A hole?" Clarisse said suspiciously. 

Annabeth took a deep breath. She looked around at the other campers. 

"Chiron...maybe we should talk about this at the Big House." 

Clarisse gasped. "You found it, didn't you?" 

Annabeth bit her lip. "I—Yeah. Yeah, we did." 

A bunch of campers started asking questions, seriously confused, but Chiron raised his hand for silence. 

"Tonight is not the right time, and this is not the right place." 

He stared at boulders as if he'd just noticed how dangerous they were.
