I'm just going to keep this in third person point of view.

Everyone present in the dining pavilion covered their eyes and looked away from the bright light. When it cleared, there sat a note innocently waiting on the ground in the middle of the pavilion.

Everyone didn't make a move towards it. Call it childish fear, but something as harmless as a piece of paper in the mythological world can very well be dangerous. Something so normal isn't always so normal in the world of demigods. Of course, nothing can never truly be easy for the heroes.

The small paper caused everyone in the pavilion to tense up and hesitate.

Leo laughed awkwardly to try and defuse the situation. He stepped forward looking brave and confident, only to turn around and ran behind Frank.

Poor Frank was then pushed toward the harmless-but-overly-exaggerated piece of paper by the Flaming Valdez himself with the exclamation of, "You're a son of the war god, Frank! Grow some backbone!"

Jason came to Frank's rescue, much to Frank's and Hazel's relief. "Leo," Jason started, causing the mentioned Valdez to halt in his hurry of pushing Frank. "Why are you making Frank do something that you don't want to do?"

Leo had the decency to look a little sheepish about what he had been trying to do. Because really, Jason had guessed exactly what Leo was attempting to do.

Once Leo stopped pushing Frank, Frank moved away and caused Leo to fall flat on his face. Cue laughter and jokes from the Hermes Cabin.

That was the scene that Reyna finally decided to pick up the paper at. She had to steel yourself, and the annoying Valdez didn't help matters when he yelled, "Reyna, you may be scary, but this is life and death! You're important!" He then squealed when Piper smacked his head. Ignoring the concern stares, the conversation between Leo and Piper, the campers uneasy murmuring, and most importantly Leo, she walked up the piece of paper. She picked it up, opened it, and stared.

"Reyna?" She broke out of her state to reinsure Jason that she was fine. He relaxed a little. "What does it say?"

She cleared her throat. "It says;

'We apologize for the inconvenience that you may feel from the situation, but we felt that something's needed to be addressed. We were given permission from two very important primordial gods to assist you all with the knowledge to help both of your futures.

We truly are sorry for everything that all of you have had to go through throughout your lives. There are higher forces than us, we couldn't always make good.

For that, please accept our gift. If you do not wish to take it, you may leave and everything will go back to the way it was. It is your choice.

Do you wish to continue?

Signed,

The Fates'

"That's all it says." Reyna finished.

Many blinked. They were so many questions that came up throughout the message. I mean, 'higher forces'? 'Two very important primordial gods'? 'We couldn't always do good'? What was going on?

Annabeth from the past, or present when you think about it, frowned. "Chiron," Everyone looked at her.

"Yes, Child?"

Annabeth looked uneasy. "You-you don't think-...well, I was wondering..." She finally sighed and sat up straight. "Do you know who The Fates were talking about when the note said, 'permission from two very important primordial gods'?" She asked.

Everyone stared at Chiron, who shuffled a little nervously.

"Yeah, Mini Annie's right," Annabeth glared at Leo, a few snickers could be heard. "Who are these 'very important primordial gods'? And why haven't we heard of them?"

No one could disagree with him, as they made noises of agreement.

"You really want to know so bad? All you have to do is ask." Everyone jumped and starting pointing their weapons at the unfamiliar voice that was heard. Leo went as far as holding out a taco in a threatening manner.

The unknown figure held up his hands in surrender. The figure was tall and wore a black cloak, actually he wore everything black - black shirt, black jeans, black combat boots, and even a black cloth covering one of his forearms.

All in all, the only thing that was heard was Leo's quiet exclaim of, "He's Batman!"

Everyone stared at Leo like he had grown another head, possibly filled with his insane thoughts. ADHD Leo plus another head equals insanity. It's elementary, well, according to Leo that is. And to everyone else (mostly), it didn't really make any sense.

To Leo? His satisfied smile said it all.

Going back to the cloaked figure, who was trying really hard not to smile, much less laugh at loud, he cleared his throat instead. Figuring that would suffice in getting everyone's attention, he started with an introduction and why he was here.

"I am one of the 'two very important primordial gods,' according to The Fates that is. My name is Omega, and I'm here for your decision."

Sorry the wait, I got into a little bit of a writer's block/hating my books in general. I was going to make this longer, but didn't know how much longer it was going to take, so I stopped here.

Another reason I stopped was because of the last paragraph, I want your thoughts on it. If the majority of you don't like it, I will rewrite this chapter into what I original wanted it to be, instead of how it came out.

Sorry if you don't like it, I'm just glad I got to actually finish an update that I wasn't hating on too much.

Thank you so much for the feedback and reading, it means a lot. :)
