Jason was still in shock, Leo was alive and standing in front of him.

Jason was also in shock on what happened at Camp Half-Blood, how a guy in a simple silver trim cloak had said to his father, Zeus. And, how he only nodded.

The only time Jason had seen someone talk back to his father, was last August when he and Percy were trying to fight back.

Jason has heard stories of Percy back talking to immortals, but, never that the immortals accepting it.

Now that goes to where Jason is now, sitting in a chair in the throne room with his sister ranting.

"- is no one going to say anything about what happened, or giving an explanation for the fact- Jason are you even listening?" Thalia asked, annoyed.

Jason accidently tuned his sister out, when his thoughts went to Leo and the girl he introduced as Calypso.

Right when the Olympians brought the leaders to the throne room, Leo and Calypso started talking with Leo's father, Hephaestus.

Jason turned back towards his sister, "Maybe their waiting for the ones who actually called the meeting." He suggested calmly to his frustrated sister.

"Only this so called 'guardian' Perseus." Thalia replied, air quoting the word, guardian. She also, spat his name, which confused Jason.

Before Jason could ask, six flashes of different colored lights.

Sky/electric blue. Zeus.

Fiery red. Hestia.

Pink. Aphrodite.

Grey. Athena.

Blood red. Ares.

Gold. Apollo.

But, Jason didn't see silver from Artemis.

Once all the guardians stepped into the throne room, they bowed to their Olympian and sat in front of them doing something different.

Sky/electric blue, Zeus. Alyssa, that's what his father called her, was playing with her hands and Jason saw her glowing blue eyes.

Fiery red, Hestia. She was playing with a fire pit in front of Hestia.

Pink, Aphrodite. He was reading a book on what seemed to be a college text book.

Grey, Athena. He was sharpening his spear.

Blood red, Ares. She was sharpening her dagger and looking around the room.

Gold, Apollo. She was sitting on the back of Apollo's throne with snow around her and she was reading a blank covered book.

"Where's Perseus?" Zeus asked, voicing Jason's pervious thought.

The five shrugged.

"How are we supposed to know, you act like he tells us things." Alyssa said bitterly.

Artemis frowned at the news, "You don't know where he is."

She got a chorus of 'no's as a response.

The Olympians turned to Apollo's throne.

His Guardian looked up from her book and sighed, "3, 2, 1.."

Right as she said one, Artemis's Guardian appeared.

The silver light started in the middle of the thrones, before moving towards Artemis's throne and stopped.

When the light disappeared, Perseus was sitting there, relaxed and leaning his head back on the front of the throne.

Jason swore he heard Artemis sighed in relief, and she smiled warmly at her Guardian.

Jason could also hear 'finally's from, Alyssa, his father's Guardian and Ares' Guardian.

He felt confused on why they treated Perseus like that. Were they jealous of him? Did something happen and now there's bad blood? Is it a competitive thing? Or was is it just hatred?

Zeus cleared his throat, snapping Jason out of his thoughts, "Perseus." The King of Gods started, making the Guardian of Artemis look his way. "What war? You mentioned a war earlier. Who is the war against?" He asked patiently.

Jason, as well as everyone else, looked towards the Guardian of Artemis waiting in suspense for the answer.

Perseus looked down, before resuming his position of leaning against Artemis's throne. Not making a sound once.

Until, Jason heard Perseus exhale loudly a few moments later. Jason noticed Apollo's Guardian shifted a little before Perseus exhaled.

Shrugging Perseus replied, "We have an idea. But, let's pray and hope we're wrong."

"And...." The Guardian of Aphrodite trailed off.

"And, what?" Perseus asked, like there wasn't a war looming over their heads and everything was perfectly calm and normal.

Alyssa sighed, "Perseus, you need to tell us and stop keeping secrets. You both do." Looking between both the Guardians of the twin gods.

Jason tensed and had a gut feeling a fight was coming on, mostly by the way Perseus tensed up.

"We keep secrets for a reason. Have you ever thought about why we keep secrets? We can't tell you who we suspect, because if we're wrong then we have more problems than a small war." Apollo's Guardian replied, bitterly.

Jason can tell that she normally isn't bitter, by how the Olympians were gaping at her.

He could tell the secrets they held were big burdens, and it seemed like they didn't want anyone to carry the weight.

Jason looked around to see how Leo and Calypso were holding each other, Frank and Hazel were looking like war veterans taking up the responsibility of another war, Piper was looking like she was mentally preparing herself for another war, and Annabeth had a burning determination in her eyes for another war.

All the other veterans were preparing themselves, either mentally or physically.

Jason was ready for the war, but, he wasn't sure if he could handle the secrets that could burden a Guardian. The Guardians of Artemis and Apollo, no less.

What he could gather from Perseus is, he's accomplished many trials, according to his title. Which Jason doesn't know it all, but how Artemis acted about it, Perseus has a long title.

And, Chiron he seemed to be worried about the fight that's about to break out.

Jason had a feeling Rachel could break up the fight, seeing as she can go against Octavian with only a hairbrush. She would be able to get them to listen, and maybe say a prophecy.

"Perseus, how do you know what's best of the situation? You only have an idea on who's starting the war, that's it. How were you ever useful?" Alyssa spat angrily.

Jason saw the shocked faces, but, Jason had an idea that something happened to divide the Guardians. The question was what?

Jason noticed that Perseus was nodding his head slightly for a few moments, before turning towards Artemis, as the Guardian of Apollo seemed a little worried about him.

Jason now wondered what their relationship was.

Perseus motioned for Artemis to come, which she did with no argument. He said a few things to Artemis, causing her to beam and grin.

Jason was a little worried that something was going to happen to his father's Guardian.

Artemis straitened up and beamed with happiness, "REALLY!!!" She exclaimed in surprise and excitement.

Perseus shrugged, "I did it before, I can do it again."

Jason was confused on what was happening, but, it seemed no one wanted to break up their moment.

Artemis launched herself at him for a hug, making Perseus stumble a few inches.

Perseus chuckled, "Well, it's good to see you excited, Arty." He said in a light teasing tone.

Jason hasn't heard this much emotion from Perseus before.

Artemis pulled away, and scowled, "I guess we're stuck together." She sighed, but Jason felt there was underlining tone of teasing. "I, Artemis, accept Perseus as my Guardian, again." Artemis sighed dramatically on the word 'again'.

Perseus glowed slightly silver and Jason could see his aura.

Perseus turned to the other Guardians, "Once you are accepted, go to Camp Half-Blood secure the borders and don't let anyone catch you until a camp leader is there."

Perseus turned to Reyna, "Praetor Reyna, I suggest you to bring some legionnaires to Camp Half-Blood from Camp Jupiter. And, if you need any help from the Olympians, ask. If that doesn't work, tell the Olympian my name." Anyone in the room could tell he was smirking. You can hear it in his words.

He looked towards Apollo's throne and nodded, causing Apollo's Guardian to slump in relief.

Perseus turned, bowed to Artemis, "Lady Artemis," and turned to a silver light, speeding towards the wall of the throne room, leaving Artemis chuckling and shaking her head.

Jason thought he seen a of Perseus' cloak and the light speed away, and disappeared. Shaking his head he turned his attention back to the Olympians, and stopped thinking about the strange Guardian.

Zeus started with accepting his Guardian, "I, Zeus, accept Alyssa as my Guardian." She glowed an sky/electric blue.

Hestia went next, "I, Hestia, accept Gracie as my Guardian." She glowed a fiery red.

"I, Aphrodite, accept Eric as my Guardian." He glowed pink.

"I, Athena, accept Benjamin as my Guardian." He glowed grey.

"I, Ares, accept Dakota as my Guardian." She glowed blood red.

"I, Apollo, accept Michaela as my Guardian." She glowed gold. And they seemed to beam at each other.

Jason figured they had a relationship like Perseus and Artemis.

Then they bowed and left to do what Perseus told them to, except Michaela, who went back to her book.

"Now that is done. Anything else to add to the meeting." Zeus announced.

Piper stood up, "What is Perseus' story?"

Everyone turned to Michaela, which confused Jason. She looked up from her book, closed it, and jumped to the floor .

"Piper I can't answer that. I earned his trust, but even then, he sometimes doesn't tell me things . His trust is hard to get, and easy to lose. But, maybe one day, you will know his greatest secret. If we are going against who we think, then it will happen sooner, rather than later." She smiled sadly and shrugged.

Piper nodded, in thought.

And, Michaela also left, after bowing to Apollo.

"Well, it seems that you all need to go back to the camps." Zeus thundered, raising his mater bolt.

And, suddenly Jason was on Half-Blood Hill, overlooking Camp Half-Blood.
