This is Who I Am

Chapter Twenty-Eight

It's the next day, and Anna and I are in my cabin doing my Greek history lesson. She was in the middle of telling me about some golden king or something like that. When a knock sounded at the door.

"Ivy? It's Grover. Chiron wants you and Annabeth to be at the Big House in five minutes. He has something to tell us. And it's important." Anna and I stood off my bed and opened the door.

"Alright, lead the way goat boy." Anna said as she closed the door. Grumbling Grover took us to Mr. D and Chiron and surprisingly Percy, all sat at a table playing that card game Mr. D likes.

Chiron spotted us and told us to have a seat, instantly getting to the point as to why we are here.
"I have spoken to Percy here and it seems like there is a quest in line. As Percy goes and visits the Oracle I will fill in the two of you. Go on Percy, why don't you show him the way Grover." The two boys went off into the Big House. "Now. Ivy, Annabeth. You have seen the way the gods have been acting. How the weather has changed and such. With Percy's identity out in the open, he is now in harms way more than ever. This quest, however, may set things straight if it is successful. I will tell you what you need to know, but first Percy has to invite you to accompany him on this quest." Just as he said that a shocked Percy and Grover slugged over to us. The both sat and looked at Chiron as if to say, 'well what's next'.

"Now that you have seen the oracle, you must now choose you companions. You are to choose four. I have gathered two demigods that would like to go with you, that is if you accept them." Chiron told Percy.

Percy looks a little weirded out. "Uh... sure?" Chiron raised his eyebrow, questioning him. "Yeah, you two can come, Grover? You wanna come too?"

"Yeah man."

"Alright then. Percy, this is Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena and Ivy Potter daughter of Artemis. They were the ones who found you the night you came and nursed you back to help. Now, as you know Percy is the son of Poseidon; and you know that Poseidon and Zeus have moments where they disagree. Zeus's master bolt has been stolen, and he blames his dear brother Poseidon." Anna cut Chiron off.

"But gods cant steal other gods possessions. So Poseidon couldn't have stolen it." Chiron nodded like that was the problem.

"Yes. That is true. But Zeus thinks Poseidon's son did it." We all looked at Percy. His mouth was gaped open, he looked like he wasn't paying any attention. I laughed. Everyone looked at me.

"Sorry, but Zeus really thinks a Twelve year old kid stole his master bolt? Have you seen Percy, no offense, but he looks stupider than that can Grover is eating!"

"Hey!" Percy called out, I ignored him and continued.

"He couldn't have took something of that much importance from the king of gods with out leaving some sort of evidence." Chiron nodded in agreement.

"We all know that Percy did not steal it. Even so, we need to set the record straight. So tomorrow morning, you four will be leaving. Make sure you are set to go. The van will drop you off at a bus station; you have to go to the underworld and receive the bolt from Hades and take it back to Zeus on Olympus. You need to do this before the summer solstice, which is in five days. Now go prepare. I shall see you I the morning." We all got up and left. I looked at Anna a smile on my face.

"Anna! You get to leave camp!" She smiled.

"Yeah, I just wish it was under different circumstances."

"I do too, but you take what you can get! And you get to leave!" She laughed. A thought crossed my mind.

"Hey you wanna come with me to my cabin? I have to do something real quick as we can pack for tomorrow."
