Chapter 1

            "Hey! Didn't you heard the announcement? Hello? Seaweedbrain.... come on already!" Annabeth knocked rapidly on the door of my cabin, sounding real impatient.

           "Hmmm? Announcement?" I confusedly mumbled, interrupted from my dream where I got invited to my dad's sea world where there are tons of blue cookies and pancakes! Yum!

           "Percy? What's going on? Can I come in?"

           "PERCE!!!"I almost fell off my bed, but luckily something or someone blocked me from doing so.

           Jerking awake, I saw Grover towered over me ready to scream again, directly into my ear, which felt like it got shattered in a thousands piece! If I don't wake soon, I will be deaf!

            "Ok, ok I'm awake now!"

            "Geez Percy, such a thing as saving the world! Can't even wake up by his own!" Annabeth rolled her eyes.

           "But I did!" I said with a shrug.

          "Chiron waiting for you at the Big House! Get ready in 5! New quest!" 

           Annabeth started to leave.

          "Ok" I lazily climbed down my bed with Grover at my side.

          "Can you give me some privacy while I change?"

          "Sure! They both replied.

          "Jinx!"

          "Double-jinx!"

          "Triple-jinx!...."

           "Such a thing as saving the world!" I threw back Annabeth complaint back at her. My best friends can be a real dorks sometimes.

           ---------------5 minutes later--------------------------------------------------------

            "Let's go!"

             We marched down to the Big House in perfect unison, Chiron already stood there waiting

            "Took you long enough!" he said, looking down at his watch. Annabeth and Grover shot me dirty looks.

            "We have important matter to discuss!" and led us inside the Big House.

            "It seems like (pause) Great EVIL are out there...... and until that time, we must be prepared!"

           "How?" someone whimpered, it's probably Grover.

           "There's a group of half-blood like us....."

           "Cool! Are they friendly? Will they be willing to fight along us?"

           "Let him finish!"Annabeth scream-whispered.

           "Shhhhhhhhhh" I hushed them.

           "We don't know for sure. But one thing that is certain is that they can control magic. There are also pure-blood and Muggle-born."

           Some gasps and gulps,"Magic?"

           Chiron nodded,"They are the children of Hecate, long ago, during the Titanomachy, the first war between the Titans and Gods, she came down to Earth to bring helps for the Olympians in secret, in case it won't work out. She blessed a group of people to have magics. Unfortunately, it took her quiet a few time to train them to learn magics, so they hadn't been a use to the gods. By the time they learned how to control their magics, the war was over. The gods later on learned that Hecate had created these wizards and witches, they feared that they will grow and overcome them, so they sent them to London, far away from Ancient Greece."

           "How come there aren't any documents or records about this?"

           "There are, but the gods have able to find all of them and destroyed them. (whisper) Only one survived, and it had been passed down from centaurs to centaurs, that how I know these people exist."Chiron said, sounding proud.

           "So do you have it?"

            One tiny nod.

          "Where is it?"Annabeth whispered, her eyebrows knitted together.

          "Right here!" Chiron patted his giant bag that looks like the zipper going to pop out any second

          He pulled out a cage that trapped.....what? a combination of a  small bird and a kitten. It had the kitten tail and ears  but it had a bird body. It's body is moving slightly like it's sleeping I never seen a creature like that before. I was expecting a paper document or something to describe about these mysterious magician.

          "Awww! It's so cute! It's a cutie pie!"Grover said.

           We all looked at him distastefully, "Stop it, Grover!"

          Chiron cleared his throat.

          "Sorry!"his face turned bright red, but it was hard to tell from his dark skin.

          "It's not a bird, well it's kind of but originally, it was a kitty."

          "What happened to it?"

           "It's the prove of the existence of these wizards and witches. During their training, they had use this poor little kitty to test their magic, unsuccessfully."

           He handed us a old, crumbly map, "This will show you the way to there."

           Annabeth was looking at the map with interest, "It moves!"

           "What do you mean?"

           I leaned over to see what she meant. Wonder filled my head as I looked at the map, I can see everybody on the map and where they are! It even showed where they are headed! They have their name labeled under each footstep!

          "Woah!" I exclaimed

          "It is called the Marauder's Map."

          "COOLIO!!!!!!"

          "That's the end of conversation, we have to get ready soon! Get pack and we are ready to go!"he said, looking at his watch again.

          "Wait! What!? Right now?"

          "We have no time to waste! Beside, what did you expected?"

          "Yessir!"We chorused

           "Jinx!"

           "Double-jinx!"

            "Triple-jinx....!"

            "Dorks" I muttered.
