I sat between Erica and Mike. The people around us were chatting. It was dinner time and the horse-guy was about to speak. When he spoke, they all went quiet.

"Hello, everyone! Please welcome our visitors!" He said. "My name is Chiron. Will our three guests stand up?"

Erica, Mike and I all stood up at the same time.  The campers started cheering. Mike leaned over and whispered to me, "Why are they cheering?"

I leaned towards Mike and whispered, "I don't know."

Erica seemed to have overheard us because she said, "Because they think you guys found Percy and Annabeth. Those two are very strong and they're virtually the 'leaders' of the camp. They're always the ones saving the day. Also, you two can't whisper if your lives depended on it."

"Oh," is all Mike and I said in synchronization. Neither of us bothering to whisper.

I turned to see Percy giving me a confused look.

I waved him a sign of dismissal of the topic.

"Now it's time for the feast!" exclaimed Chiron.

A bunch of cups and plates appeared in front of us all. Then on the plates, a variety of food appeared. From chicken to rice to fries.

"Hey how come we don't get anything in our cups but they do?" asked Mike. Everyone else had liquid in their cups. It looked like a variety of different colors and flavors.

"Hm?" asked Chiron, confused. "Oh! You need to specify what you want."

"I want...Koolaid...The fruit punch flavor," Mike decided.

Erica and I both decided on Sprite.

Percy and Annabeth walked over to us. Percy had a cup of blue soda.

"Blueberry soda?" said Mike. "Ew."

"Oh no, this is Pepsi," said Percy.

"But it's blue..." Mike noticed.

"Well you can get any drink in any color! That's one of the few things that I like about being a demigod."

"Wow that's cool!" I said.

"So, we came over here about Erica," said Annabeth. "She was chased by a monster. No typical mortal is even able to see monsters—but it means even more if you're chased by one."

"So what are you saying?" asked Erica.

"Do you know who your mother and father are?" asked Percy.

"Yes, of course." said Erica.

"So she's not a demigod..." said Annabeth. "Wait...Hm, Erica, do you see them often?"

"Often enough. Though my mother doesn't live in America," she replied.

"Erica," started Percy. "I think you're related to the gods."
