Chapter 1
Reyna
I watched as the ship covered the sun, leaving us blind from the darkness. I gripped my sword and watched that ship travel across the terrain.
" They will be unharmed," Percy walked up to me, his purple cloak blowing backwards in the wind. I gazed at his wind blown hair and pleading eyes.
" Percy you just got your memory back, how can you be so sure they are not dangerous humanoids?" I asked him.
" Well a kid named Leo told us he was coming, he looked familiar to Hazel," he said.
" Hazel was born long ago Percy, some one can not live for that long,"
" But I saw him! I saw what that kid looked like when Hazel knew him! They are identical!"
" That may be true Percy, but not many people get second chances," I shook my head. Percy frowned and stared up at the ship as it dipped past the horizon and dropped toward the harbor. The ship had a golden mast of a automan dragon, the sails were stormy, the outer side made of deep hickory, silver seemed to seep through hidden cracks, it seemed to shine like a pearl. I grabbed my binoculars and zoomed in on the deck of the boat. I girl with choppy brown chocolate hair showed up in my lenses first, she was talking with another boy with short blond hair, and electric blue eyes. Jason. I licked my lips, I almost let the tears escape my eyes, only one trickled down my cheek, but I could smell the salt. I wiped it away quickly, hoping my eyes were not red. The girl turned and I had a tinge of jealousy. Her hair was glossy, and in thin braids, she had russet smooth skin, her eyes changed colors from ocean blue, to topaz, to jade green. I focused on other people. One girl had blond long waves of hair that shimmered gold, she was tan, and her platinum eyes were sad, she looked around trying to focus on the ground. She seemed like a million thoughts were being constructed in her mind, she tightly gripped a complicated blue print. I felt bad for the lass, she looked so distressed. Another young man was short and had cocoa bean skin, elf like features, including his pointed ears, and onyx eyes. He immediately told me that his ADHD was worse than others as he played with wires and screws. Two twin boys were giggling like hooligans as they dropped grapefruits off the side of the ship, watching them fall and plunk my poor campers on the head. How charming. They also poured orange juice off the side. How mature. They had caramel curly hair and awfully playful smiles. I put down my binoculars disgusted by their stupidness. The ship was almost to the ground, steps appeared from the sides, then the ship landed with a large boom. Percy and I stood in front with the other campers in the back in perfect lines armed at the ready. Jason appeared first I glared him down, judging his messed up hair and ripped dirty shirt. Jason looked around and then locked his eyes to mine. I glared back then quickly whipped my head in another direction, I saw him frown. I rolled my eyes. Percy inspected him warily.
" This is the famous Jason Grace?" Percy asked almost grinning.
" Shut up," I smiled. Percy just shook his head holding down snorts. Next running down the steps was the short elfish boy.
" Hello world! Look out ladies! Here comes your baby!" he waved at a couple girls, Jason was just mortified. Next came the twins, then a burly girl in a bandana, the brown haired maiden came next, followed by a girl with spiky black hair and electric blue eyes, and lastly the blond. She looked around and caught sight on Percy, she made a noise like a squeaky toy being stepped on. Percy gulped and leaned toward her.
" You know her?" I said looking up from my lashes.
" Yes," he sounded anxious and confused and even hurt. I nodded. It was like his heart was being poked by a metal pole, I could tell from his sorrow eyes.
" Greeks, I am Reyna preator of Camp Jupiter," I walked toward the new comers in a warm gesture. They bowed. " Introduce youselves if you may," I gestured toward Jason. Percy walked up to me, right next to my side.
" Jason, Jason Grace," he shook our hands.
" Leo Valdez," he winked at me as he shook our hands.
" Piper McLean," the brown haired girl said i shook her hand warmly, she blushed as she walked by Percy. Oh Gods.
" Travis Stoll,"
" Conner Stoll," the twins grabbed my hands.
" Clarisse LaRue," the bandana girl grunted.
" Thalia Grace," she smiled at Percy.
" Hey pinecone face," he smiled back. Thalia ran up to him and they hugged swinging around. She waved and walked toward her friends. And lastly the blond came up.
" Annabeth Chase," she said grimly. Percy looked up and walked over to her and put his arm across her shoulders when she looked down. She was startled and looked up.
" Percy?" she looked into his eyes. He nodded. " You remember me?" her voice was small and quiet like if she spoke louder it would crack. He nodded. Her eyes light up, her face wasn't pale, tears ran down her face as she threw her head on his chest wrapping her fragile arms around him. " I've missed you!" she literally cried.
" I missed you," he responded. He then explained his adventure here she was silent the whole way through. " Annabeth, I want to show you something," he gripped her hand and lead her toward the city. The both had wide smiles on their faces. I saw them kiss once or twice as the sun set casting a shadow, just like in the movies. Young love. I sighed. I was happy for them, I watched at them as they dissapeared over the hill.
