Annabeth had heard of the legend. Of course she had. It was a bedtime story that the head counselor of the Athena Cabin had told to the younger campers when Annabeth first came to camp.

It told of a demigod who were favored by the gods. He was trained and raised up on Olympus by the best. He had been taught and blessed by most of the Olympian Goddesses. That, in itself, was an accomplishment.

He had saved Olympus multiple times in the old times. He was even said to be born before half of the Olympian counsel, he was one of the first demigods born. He paved the way for all the other famous demigods.

He was the first, for everything. He was offered godhood, but requested for partial immorality instead. He hasn't died, though the legends say he disappeared. Never to be seen again. The gods don't even know where he is...

Then and there, it hit Annabeth, forcing her to stop in her tracks on the way to the Big House for a meeting. Thalia looked back at her in concern.

No one knew when or even where he had disappeared to, Annabeth knew. The prophecy said 'land beyond the gods', he was in Alaska...

"Annabeth!" Thalia's bright blue eyes snapped her out of her thoughts.

Annabeth blinked, looking a little dazed from how fast her thoughts were (and how fast they hit a brick wall named Thals...). "Sorry, Thals. I just-" Annabeth smiled before looking conflicted. "I have to go alone and..." She whispers, mostly to herself. "I actually get to meet him...I always wished I would find him and-" She looked Thalia in the eye, serious (Sirius...because why not...) on her features. "I had childish dreams that I would one day bring him here to camp, and he would train us like he was trained. Plus-" Annabeth by that time was rambling.

Thalia gripped her shoulders, stopping her words. "Whoa, Annie, slow down!"

Annabeth glared, shoved the hands off her shoulders, and push past Thals, heading straight for the Big House. "Don't call me Annie! Now, hurry up! We're late!" She called out over her shoulder, and ran to the meeting.

Thalia grumbled under her breath about little sisters who is physical older than her now, before running after said "little" sister.

~Hello! I am a time skip. My name is Roboto. I will play some dance music while you wait for the rest fo the story! *Plays awful and awkward music for thirty years before the writer notices* OH! Oops, neglected another book! XD Anywho, onto the story!!!~

All the head counselors of each cabin (even the minor gods, thanks to Thalia) sat around the ping pong table, all talking and arguing about the prophecy. A select few (you can't count Clovis when he's sleeping...) were thinking to themselves quietly.

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world...Annabeth blinked at the random thought and scowled herself, almost missing Chiron's voice.

"Enough!" Chiron spoke sternly, not even raising his voice too much though it still had its intended effect. The leaders stopped what they were doing (except Clovis, he started drooling onto his pillow he had brought...), looking to Chiron waiting for him to speak.

Chiron looked around, nodding his head in approval. He turned to Annabeth, a strange and unfamiliar glint in his eyes. "Do you accept this quest, Child?" Annabeth opened her mouth to answer, but Chiron continued. "You don't have to accept if you don't want to." He finished.

Thalia looked confused, looking between Chiron and Annabeth. "What do you mean she doesn't have to accept if she doesn't want to, Chiron? It was a prophecy, you can't avoid those."

Annabeth was thinking of the same thing, studying Chiron's face as it seemed to have aged several decades. His white tail flickered nervously.

"And why isn't Mr. D here?" Will Solace, Son of Apollo, added. Come to think of it, everything seemed to have changed since the prophecy was issued. The sun lost its brightness, the lake became restless, the sky; cloudy and dark. Not to mention, the grass, trees, and atmosphere had become dark and gloomy.

Nothing like this had happened. Not on this big of a scale, and the leaders of Camp Half-Blood were nervous and fearful.

Chiron looked more nervous and distraught. Taking a deep breath, he asked a simple question.

"What have you heard of the legends of the 'Lost Legend'?"

The underlining tone, chilled everyone to the bone.

'What does he mean by that...?'

You know what I noticed? The names of the chapters are almost song lyrics and titles...Well, there goes my sanity again.

Along with all of yours, seeing how many actually like this book. It's so...I have no words. Carry on. Ugh! Another song title! *Bangs head on laptop keyboard and groans*
