This takes place after the 5th book in the series. I hope you like it.

I do not own PJO

Percy's POV

I had a great summer after the battle, but now it was time to go home. I was sitting in my room packing up some last minute things. I looked around. What else could I need? I had all the necessities packed (clothes and stuff like that), but I had a feeling in the back of my mind that I would need to bring something else. I suddenly remembered that Tyson had left me something at the armory for me to pick up. Knowing him, it was probably going to be pretty good. And so I headed down to the armory, carrying everything with me. The people that weren't year-round campers were supposed to leave in about 10 minutes, so I had to hurry. As I entered, I saw Annabeth in there as well. She was examining something.

"Hey" I said.

"Hey, Seaweed Brain. Did Tyson leave something for you too?" she asked.

"Yup. What have you got there?" I asked.

"Umm... I'm not entirely sure. It's a bracelet" she said.

"Yup, it is, but it's also a shield. Just put your index and middle fingers anywhere on it and the shield will open. Try it" Tyson said as he appeared in front of the doorway.

Annabeth touched the bracelet with her fingers and, in a speed so fast i didn't think possible, the shield opened. It was big enough to cover the front of her whole upper body. On the shield were carvings of the adventures we'd been through.

"Thanks Tyson! I'm sure this will be very useful if we ever get in any trouble, which we probably will with Percy over here" Annabeth said.

"Hey!" I said. I was not a trouble maker...Ok, maybe I was a little bit.

"And for you, brother, I have reformatted your wristwatch-shield. Since you bathed in the River Styx, you now only have one weak point. I did some research as to how big it was and made the shield a little bigger than the weak point. I also had it made in celestial bronze and it is now nearly indestructible. Lift up your shirt so I can put it so that it'll cover it. All you have to do now is press the same button as before, but now it'll just make the shield appear. When you don't need the shield, press the same button and it will fold up and will not be seen" Tyson said.

I did as I was told. In a few seconds, he had put it in. I tried it. I felt the metal crawl across my skin. It made me shiver a little bit. I had to get used to it. I pressed the button on my watch and it disappeared, leaving no trace.

"Thanks bro" I said.

"Well, you guys better get going. I'll see you soon" Tyson said.

We left after saying goodbye and raced to the departure point and, of course, Annabeth won. We got on in my mom's car just outside of camp. She had brought Paul. It was pretty much quiet on the ride home. When we got to Annabeth's house, she kissed me goodbye and left. When we got home, I realized we didn't live very far away from each other, but the school thing sucked. I would only get to see her after school or on the weekends, but that would be enough. Things were looking up and I thought there would finally be peace. I was SO wrong...

This was just the prologue. I know, it kind of sucks, but I had to sort of finish up where the book left off. The gifts will come in handy. And you'll find out what happens, but not for a while. Please review!
