Okay, so I haven't exactly updated since before New Years and you're probably just going to skip over this and read the story, which I don't mind.

But I have been pretty busy, not just with homework or school. I made the track team! Yeah, I'm pretty proud of that. Even though it's just running for the most part. For any one who still checked my stories even after I stopped updating, THANK YOU. That means a lot. ANYways, enjoy and I'll try to update as soon as possible.

Complete silence settled over the throne room. The flash of light receded and in its place lay a girl with dark, piercing eyes and long black hair. She looked around at the gods in a shocked and confused state. She looked completely embarassed also, like she knew that she should bow but was too occupied being bashful too get her bearings. Then she saw the kids and Percy and raised a questionable eyebrow.

Piper glanced at Jason and her heart dropped into her stomach. He was staring at her with a dazed look on his face and when she finally met his gaze she too stared at him with the same look he was giving her. Percy looked between the three kids in shock. He knew this might not end well what with Jason liking Piper and Reyna mentioning that she might have had a thing with Jason. Nope, he thought as he ate a sugar cube from Nico's pile-much to death boy's dismay-, this is definitely not going to end well.

Finally Zeus broke the silence. "And you would be?"

Reyna swallowed hard and stood up to face the gods. Some of the gods repelled at her like she had a deadly aura, which-considering that she's the daughter of Bellona-she does. The gods shared a look with each other, another demigod brought from the future.

Zeus sighed. "I suppose we should explain what you're doing here." Reyna stood still and waited for Zeus to continue speaking. "Very well. You've been brought here from the future. About ten years I suppose."

Reyna just stood there and stared at Zeus with her mouth open. Jason took this time to hide behind the Stolls. While Zeus continued to explain the predicament that Reyna had landed into Jason spoke to the Stolls.

"Look I really need your help-" Connor cut him off with an understanding nod.

"Yeah." Travis whispered. "Especially with the moon eyes you were giving... What's her name?"

"Reyna." Jason whispered back.

"Pretty name." Connor mumbled.

"So can you help me?" Jason asked.

"We'll need a moment to discuss this first." Travis replied.

Jason stood back a little and the Stolls discussed the situation. Then they notioned for Jason to step forward again.

"You have quite a starburst on your hands Jason." Travis said.

Jason furrowed his eyebrows. "A what?"

"A starburst." Connor said. "A juicy contradiction which doesn't really fit this problem because it's not much of a contradiction." He stopped because Jason still looked like he didn't get it.

Travis sighed. "Just know that you have a problem."

"We figure your dad will take forever what with his speech and everything so-" Connor surveyed the perimeter to make sure that it was safe. "See the ventilation shaft to the right?"

Jason looked over and nodded. It was kind of hard to see because it almost camouflaged with the wall but id he squinted hard enough he could see it.

"It's big enough to fit you." Travis started.

Connor smiled. "Unless you've added a couple pounds since you've been here."

Travis rolled his eyes. "Take that shaft. It's already open so just go in as quietly as you can. It leads into the kitchen." Travis explained. "The Oympians use it sometimes to smell any food from the kitchen or to listen to any gossip there. Go!"

Jason was about to go but hesitated. "Wait, why is it open already? Wouldn't it be shut tight?" Zeus sent Jason an irritated look like he wanted him to go already.

Connor and Travis shared guilty looks. "Don't ask questions! Just go. Your dads almost done." Travis yelled-whispered.

Jason backed up slowly. Then when he was behind one of the marble pillars, he rushed to the ventilation shaft and disappeared into it. Just seconds before Zeus finished explaining.

Feel free to read the AN at the top if you didn't read it before or you just skipped it and read the chapter. I'll try to update as soon as I can. I'm not sure when but I will be finishing this story, and hopefully the other books. Bye!
