Phil woke up in his home of about 4 years and noticed something different about the atmosphere. He noticed that the air was think and tense, and he was scared to go downstairs. When he mustered up the courage to get up, he got out of bed, noticing that his clothing and bed linens were gone. All that was in his empty room was him, his furniture, and one simple outfit. He was emotionally preparing to be sent back into the system as he got dressed, cursing his adopted mother in his head. When he got downstairs he was scared to see his brother, Dan, pinning their mother against the kitchen wall.

"How could you lie to me after all these years?!" Dan yelled, Phil not knowing what to do. "You have always told me that you were my mother! Why are you telling me now, on my fucking nineteenth birthday, that you're not my mother?!"

"It was to keep you and your brother safe..." Lynn squeaked. "There's a lot you don't know about your parents, and once you know, you'll be in a lot of danger. I am your aunt. Your mother died during childbirth, but I knew who your father was, and I knew you'd be dangerous when you got older. You and Phil are both very... special... and very dangerous. That is why I have packed up your stuff. It's time you are taken to safety."

"What do you mean?" he breathed out, releasing his grip.

"You're no longer safe here," she continued. "I am sending you somewhere you should be safe. It's definitely a lot nicer there than here, so I think you will love being there once you are there. There's many that share your fathers, and abilities that you have probably noticed, but there's only two others nearly as powerful and dangerous as you two can be. I hate to do this, but I should've done this as soon as I adopted Phil."

"This is all so crazy!" he panicked, Phil agreeing. "How are we getting to this mysterious place? What if we die along the way?"

"You won't die on the way," she reassured.

"But we could!" he whined.

"If we died," Phil smiled, "at least we'd die together, Danny Boy."

"That is true," Dan smiled back, blushing a little.

"You two are not going to die!" Lynn yelled as there was a car beep outside. "There's your ride. You may not believe it's real at first, but it is, trust me."

"Okay?" Dan and Phil said in unison, the three walking outside to see a giant Grecian chariot strapped to a black Pegasus and a sea green one.

"There's no fucking way that's real!" Dan shook his head in disbelief.

"Go up and pet the Pegasus," Lynn smirked, Dan hesitantly going up to the winged horses, petting the black one.

"Oh my God!" he gasped, looking at his brother. "It's fucking real, Phil! How is this real? How am I touching a real fucking Pegasus?"

"Demigod!" Phil randomly blurted out. "Oh shit, was I supposed to figure that out yet?"

"I think you've alway known," Lynn shrugged. "Well let's get you strapped in so you can go to your new home."

Lynn put the boys' bags in a compartment under the chariot and helped the two up in the car. Surprisingly to the boys, there were actual seatbelts. They gave their mother one last hug before strapping themselves in, the driver of the chariot speeding off into the sky. As they flew through the air, Phil was hypnotized by the beauty of the sky, and Dan was hypnotized by the boy that came into his life four years prior. Dan grabbed the other boy's hand, receiving his attention. Phil just smiled, laying his head on Dan's shoulder, basking in the beauty of what was before their eyes.

"I have never seen such a beautiful sight," Phil sighed, looking up at the dark eyed boy. "Don't you agree."

"I am not much for the sky," Dan admitted, "but watching you be happy about the sky is enough to make me love this moment."

"I can't believe Mum never found out about us," Phil laughed. "You'd think it'd be weird, but we're not necessarily blood, so what's it matter?"

"That's true," Dan agreed as they were both taken aback by what was coming into shot.

The only way they could've described this place was the recreation of the best depiction of Mount Olympus. It looked like a picture from a Grecian tour guide. There were fields that were an array of colors, with fountains and breathtaking ponds throughout them. In the center of everything, there was a celestial Grecian building that looked twice as high as the shard, in London, and as wide and long as the three largest buldings, in the world, combined.

"Now that is beautiful," Dan smiled and looked at his secret lover. "Is that our new home?"

"God, I hope it is," Phil laughed, the chariot landing right in front of the main door.

"You do not have to worry about your bags," the chariot driver finally spoke. "Once you are assigned, a worker will bring your items to your new room."

"Thank you, Sir," Phil blushed, as him and Dan walked in, taken aback by the room they stepped into.

In front of them was the largest fountain they had ever seen, with each part a different statue of each Olympian. They went around it and saw many different halls that lead to labyrinths of rooms and activities. They kept walking until they found the main desk with a few people behind it. The one they went to was a petite girl with gorgeously curly ginger hair and leafy green eyes. She had on what looked like ancient Greek garbs, yet it looked very modern. She noticed the two boys and put on the most beautiful smile.

"Parakaleísthe na anaférete apó poú eísai," she said, not breaking eye contact.

"London, England," Phil answered, looking at both of them in shock, because both of them understood what she had said.

"Well welcome to the safest home for you," she continued. "I am Rose O'Reilly and I will be your guide for your first day. Please tell me your names, so I can search the computer for you."

"Phil Lester and Dan Howell," Phil spoke for the both of them before her face went pale.

"Oh God!" she squealed. "I knew this day would come, but I didn't know the gods would choose me. I'm never so luck... or unlucky. I can't even believe this. You need to come with me. This is a more private matter."

"Did we do something wrong?" Dan asked, internally scared.

"Not yet and hopefully never," she sighed, the two boys following her through a labyrinth that lead into a corridor that looked like she was taking them into the underworld. "Come through this door with me."

"Okay?" Dan questioned but they followed into a room that was blanketed in alabaster pillars and silver and gold. They look around before looking straight ahead, Phil realizing where they were.

"Oh my gods!" Phil gasped. "These are the Olympians. Why were we so lucky to actually see the Olympians."

"You're special, My Child," Poseidon rose up from his seat. "You and Daniel are twp of the four of prophesy. You both have inherited powers from not just your dads, but all of the other gods and goddesses, including the ones, people rarely hear about. You two are powerful, more powerful than all of us combined, but then twice as powerful because there are two of you."

"My dad is Poseidon, Dan!" Phil bounced excitedly. "Is Dan's dad Hades, because that would be freaking awesome."

"He is," Poseidon nodded. "Now Rose, I need you to take them directly to their trainers. There's no time for them getting comfortable. They need to be safe, and the best shot at that is getting them acquainted with their trainers and guardians. Take them there directly then report back to me once they are safe."

"Yessir," she obliged, directing them back out and into separate rooms, leaving nervous and confused, especially Dan.
