To say I was surprised that this guy just called me son would be an understatement. Thalia was still laying on top of me also looking at the middle-aged man with shock. She looked back at me and seen my confused look then back at the man. He just sat there staring right back at us.

"Other than the hair Percy looks nothing like you. So, would you like to explain?" Thalia spoke up. There was silence before he started booming with laughter.

Percy looked at the laughing man, something about him seemed familiar. He was wearing pitch black trousers and a black leather jacket. He also wore black trainers. There was a blood red chain around his neck. He was well tanned, and his hair was like Percy's, but his eyes were the most defining thing about him. They were black like his clothes but had flecks of blood red like the chain.

In Percy's opinion he quite liked his style he had always liked the punk style, but his mother and Annabeth didn't like it, so he never wore them. Thalia had bought him an outfit like what the man was wearing earlier that day before the gods caught them and he hadn't been able to put it on.

After a minute of the man laughing he calmed himself down. "You can get up now you know we won't hurt you." He said. Thalia looked at me and blushed before she got up. Once up she offered me her hand and lifted me up.

"Ok... So, I'm your son?" I asked the man unsure what to think.

He looked at me and nodded. "Yes, you are. Me and your real mother thought it best for you to live as a normal demigod. We would've come when you turned twenty-one to explain who you really were, but we didn't expect the gods to try and kill you." He said.

"Um ok and who would my real mother be?" I asked.

"That would be me." A woman with long brown hair spokes. She was wearing a long traditional Greek dress and sandals. She was quite beautiful with defined features and his sea green eyes.

"Right now, how about you explain who you are and why do I get the feeling I've meet some of you before?" I asked. Just like the man when I looked at the women on either side of my supposed mother. One was wearing all black and the shadows seemed to hide her face as if she didn't want me to recognize her. The other looked very similar to Gaia with earthen robes but she wasn't looking at me, so I couldn't be certain.

"That's because you have." My mother answered. "This is the primordial council. I'm Thalassa, beside me is Gaia and Nyx your father over there is Tartarus." She said as if the last three hadn't tried to kill me.5

"What?!" Me and Thalia screamed at the same time. We both made a grab for our weapons.2

"Wait children let them explain why they tried to kill you." The guy that said this looked a lot like Apollo.

"Ok explain." Thalia demanded.

My father spoke first. "Well I wasn't going to attack you, but my father Chaos thought it would be funny if he scrambled with my brain and made me attack you." He said glaring at a man who looked like the entire galaxy was in his eyes. Chaos just shrugged in response.7

"Well I was only defending my home. My daughter that tried to kill you in the pit told me you were going to destroy it. I now know the truth and that my daughter only done that because you defeated her." Nyx said. Me and Thalia then turned to Gaia who was looking nervously at the floor.

"My son Kronos told me that the Olympians were destroying the earth. Truthfully a lot of them are destroying it. Anyway, when I was angry I didn't realize that it was you that I was trying to kill otherwise I would've left you alone. I do apologize for trying to kill the both of you but I'm sure you can see why I was angry the earth is may domain after all." She said nervously.
