Chiron was freaking Annabeth out. He always seem wise and nice towards anyone he sees as his students, but he knew the Lost Legend...and he treated the situation as if THE hero of the legend is...bad...

Annabeth finally lost her patience as the room was silent for minutes after Chiron's last statement. "Chiron, can you please get on with it?" She asked, frustrated and a little frightened that the stories of the Lost Legend were wrong.

Chiron looked saddened, but mostly, grave. "It happened long ago, back when the gods first started having kids, and before the war with Mother Earth..."

Back into the past, where the heroes grew

Back before the legendary heroes rose to fame

There was one who passed them all

His story never really told

For the gods were-*Clears throat* Should I go back to the story now...?

Maybe I should...

...or should I...*Evil crackles of laughter sounded*

Carry on with the story.

The children of Kronos were still children. Yes, years have passed, but they still were trying to figure it all out. They made mistakes. Plenty of mistakes. One certain mistake lead to another...

Back in those days, there weren't any set rules or laws yet. Those rules and laws came to be due to a certain "hero."

One of the children of Kronos had sired a child with a mortal women, and the mother was killed when Zeus "accidently" threw a fit and his Master Bolt. The child at the time wasn't even two yet.

The godly father, upset with what happened to his lover, hid the baby in their own domain. The child grew up being trained by his father and his subjects.

He quickly went around Greece and destroyed monster after monster. He gained title after title. He even managed to gain access to the camp belonging to the Hunters of Artemis, he did help Artemis form the group after all.

He was sixteen when the war against Gaea took place. It was months of planning and battles.

The child was a major part of everything. He had such a major role that he was one to find out the weakness of the giants. Gaea rose up after he had destroyed a lot of his children, and something happened-

"That's it?" Drew asked. Chiron gave her a look.

"Yeah, we already knew all that. Tell us something we don't." Clarisse demanded, crossing her arms.

Chiron aged a few decades before their eyes. "He went to confront Gaea. Something happened between them, they seemed to have merged. Hundreds of demigods died at his hand. Nearly all of them, killed and slaughtered. More deaths than any monster could have done." He looked right at Annabeth. "You were given the prophecy, do you still wish to go on a quest to find him?"

Annabeth's head told her to not go, but she had a gut instinct saying there was something more to the story. She had learned early on that a demigod's gut instinct shouldn't be ignored. She was scared, sure, but...her mind made itself up (Haha, you get it?), she wanted to know more. Annabeth really just wanted to meet him, and to see if the stories are true.

Looking straight at Chiron, she replied. "Yes, I want to do the quest."

"Are you sure, Annie?" Thalia asked, concerned for the one she sees as her sister.

"Yes, and don't call me Annie!" Annabeth glared at Thalia and all those who snickered.

A sudden thought hit her. "But...how do I even know where to start?" Annabeth asked, looking a little stressed about the solo quest. She had been on a quest before, but this...this was different. So much different.

"Didn't the prophecy mention a 'land beyond the gods...'?" Conner asked, even more confused than he was at the beginning of the meeting.

Thalia rolled her eyes. "It said 'Child of Wisdom shall journey alone, Reaching the land beyond the gods'. Meaning-"

"Meeting, it will be the final destination, not the starting." Travis continued, unaffected by the strange looks.

Connor blinked. "So, Annabeth has to start the quest somewhere that isn't the ending, like Vegas." He looked proud at the end of his sentence.

Travis looked at his brother strangely.

Connor shrugged. "Everyone meets everyone in Vegas..."

Chiron shook his head softly, turning his attention back to Annabeth. "If you wish to go, remember what I have said. Tomorrow you will start your quest, no help from anyone. I will give some things to help you start off, but the rest will be up to you. You will decide where you wish to go for the quest in the meantime. Dismissed."

Well, that wasn't as funny and lighthearted as the previous chapters, but next one should be purely humor.

Sorry for the wait, I was doing other things. Someone had asked if this would be Percabeth, and the answer is I don't know. This is just plain boredom and humor from my insane mind.

What do you think? Percabeth or no?
