Jake's POV

I have had just enough of hawky at this point. My ankle hurt quite a bit. The fight had somehow reached as far as the forest. I was sick of him and his know it all bossy attitude. I got off of the ground after he kicked me over for the second time in a row. Picked up my swords and fought back. Barely able to stand, I swung out with my blade and cut off his goofy mohawk for starters. Then I tried for a second attack, but he got pretty ticked off. He came after me head first, trying to knock me over, but I was running away as quickly as I could. He pushed me all the way to a waterfall, and I was not going to give up now. I had something to prove. I got that weird feeling again as a hit the water.

"You just killed him!" Clare screamed.

"I didn't think he was going to fall!"

I then, somehow launched my way up out of the cliff. I could feel a tight push in my gut. Everybody then just stared at me in amazement. I was wondering why, until I looked down and saw that I was floating above water, as dry as ever. Just then, Rayn came running in, and to my surprise, she had a silver owl floating above her head. She looked kind of scared. But what happened after our battle, was even more surprising. Rayn and I got called down by Chariclo, to the big house.

Felix's POV

I ran to the Big house, close enough to the the two, but far enough back not to be seen. As they entered, I snuck up to the window. Then, I saw the big issue. Rayn was claimed by Athena, and Jake by Poseidon. How is that even possible, unless.....!

"How is this possible?!" I thought I said something out loud, but it was Rayn.

"I know there are days when I wish I wasn't related to her, but I'm just as confused as she is. What in Hades is going on?" Jake shouted. Chariclo was silent, trying to process the information just as they were.

"I wish that I didn't have to show you two so soon." She went over to her desk, and pulled out three drachma. Then, went over to her fountain. I didn't know that thing still ran water. She threw one of the drachma through the fountain, an Iris message.

"Oh Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering." She said. A rainbow appeared."Your parents are practically legends. They fought in many battles together, went on quests into the Labyrinth, The battle at Zeus's Fist, and at Mt. Olympus. They even traveled to Greece and Rome to save the Athena's Parthenon and stop Gaea from awakening. I only wish you got a chance to know them." There was silence. Rayn and Jake trying to process what they had just heard, myself included. Who could there parents be? There's Frank and Hazel, Jake and Piper, Reyna, Nico, ... Leo. . .

"Your parents, are Perseus Jackson, Son of Poseidon; and Annabeth Chase, Daughter of Athena." They looked pretty confused. "I could tell you more, but-" the message cut out suddenly. I ran off, those words still ringing in my ears. I found Zac, I wanted to tell him, but chose against it. Their parents will be revealed at dinner, and if I say anything then people will know that I was spying.

"Hey Felix, no hard feelings about getting beat up by Jake?" Zac asked.

"None at all, I'll just figure out how to get back at him later."

"You feeling alright there, dude?"

"Just have a lot on my mind. Got to go, see ya around!" I ran off, not saying another word. As I glanced back, Zac was going to the mixed cabin, showing Jake and Rayn around.
