"Well Chiron had me tend to said demigod and when he woke up I went to tell Chiron. However Lady Artemis was in his office, and she was mad to put it lightly, as she was asking for some boy to be tortured to death."

"Doesn't surprise me from her" Thalia mumbled

"Well after informing them and apologizing for interrupting, I went back to the infirmary to find my patient missing" Annabeth said with a light glare to me. "So I went to go look for him, and on my way out, I saw Luke with multiple arrow wounds being worked on by Apollo's children"

"The hunter's" Thalia asked

"Yup" Annabeth said popping the 'p', "well in my search for my missing patient I found him walking out of Lady Artemis's cabin alive, and without any arrow wounds, so I like the rest of the camp was in shock. Then to top it all off Lady Artemis claims him, and calls him son" Annabeth said

"wait" Thalia said turning to look at me in the eyes, " She really adopted you" Thalia asked

"Blood adopted, so I'm technically actually her child now, and she raised me" I answered

"Still don't believe it" Thalia said

"believe it sister he was banned from the underworld when he went to train with the fallen hunters...they drove Elysium into chaos and nearly destroyed all order in the underworld" Perseus said with a shiver from the memories.

"That's more believable than Artemis adopting a male child" Thalia said casually, "but back to the story"

"So Artemis claims him, and as it turns out Luke and his quest mates, knocked him out to kidnap him, after he saved their dumb butts as they were surrounded by monsters. That lead to a whole other slew of problems, like the camp being set on fire that night, surprisingly the only cabin not touched by flames was Artemis's and her hunters helped put out the fires." Annabeth said and Thalia looked shocked, "Sometime during the winter solstice meeting your dad's weapon was stolen, and a son of Poseidon was blamed, but now nearly everyone is pretty certain he lacks the skills or ability to have done so. Anyways the day after he was claimed, a prophecy was issued which pretty much directly called for Artemis's adopted son, and he said he's not going without me because I was his only friend from my mother's cabin which the prophecy also called for."

"How was your first quest" Thalia asked

"Insightful, successful, and I learned a lot" Annabeth answered "Anyways Percy and I practically duo the quest while struggling to keep Poseidon's spawn alive"

"I shot the son of Poseidon, though I was trying to kill him, but medusa being around complicated my aim" I mumbled, which got a laugh from Thalia

"Anyways, Percy killed two furies and I killed one" Annabeth stated

"You took care of Tisiphone and I took care of Megaera and Alecto" I interjected, much to Thalia's distaste this time.

"then Percy beheaded Medusa" Annabeth said

"Just like your favorite teacher" Perseus boasted, I was going to interject and tell him mom was my favorite teacher, but I'm going to let him have his moment, as Thalia shocked him, "your temper is worse than father's" Perseus mumbled

"Then we found a lost dog that allowed us to return him to his owners on the condition that Poseidon's son said hi" Annabeth said which got another laugh from Thalia, "So we used the reward money to get tickets as far west as we could go, and we had a layover in St. Louis"

"Let me guess you went to the arch and killed some sort of monster" Thalia asked

"Two monsters actually and how did you know" Annabeth asked

"You've always loved architecture and I remember your seven year old self wanting to skip on camp and go visit all the architectural masterpieces, and we're demigods, when are there not monsters involved" Thalia said, which drew an embarrassed look from Annabeth.

Annabeth mumbled something that only Thalia could probably hear, before continuing, "so yeah we went to the arch only to be intercepted by Echidna and the Chimera" Annabeth said, and Thalia looked like she died, "which we killed by working together, and Percy pissing off Echidna so that she would ignore me. After that mom met me, well us, on the train to Denver and complimented me on the victory over Echidna and the Chimera. When we arrived in Denver, we met the dumb war god, and had to retrieve his stupid shield, that was booby trapped, in return for transport and a bag of supplies. The son of Poseidon set off said trap despite being warned not too. We survived the trap, only for the transport given to us to be an illegal exotic animal transport truck that we were packed into the back of. We came to a stop in Las Vegas freed the animals, accidentally wound up in the lair of the lotus eaters and then caught a taxi using their money to go to Santa Monica as Poseidon requested to meet his son. From there Percy lead us to Procrustes killed him, and then lead us to the entrance of the underworld. Once in the underworld, Peter said stupid things to Lord Hades. Percy and Hades put on a show, as Ares hid the bolt in the bag he gave us, Peter uses the gift from his father to get himself and his mother out of the underworld. I follow suit after Percy calms my nerves as the performance was convincing, Percy comes back moments later to use the bolt against Ares, who flees the fight. We return and head to Olympus where Percy gets grounded by Artemis" Annabeth explained surprisingly not being interrupted till now because Thalia started rolling around on the ground laughing, asking why.

When she calmed down Annabeth continued by answering her question, "by using his emergency spending card. So Poseidon's son returns the bolt as the prophecy required him to do. He and Poseidon walk off to chat, and the Olympians move onto talking about Percy's request involving his war prise from medusa. The gods accept, and the meeting is dismissed with Zeus telling our parents not to speak with us for too long. Percy talked to Hephaestus, Apollo and Hermes, before he and his mother left and I didn't see Percy till the next day when your father apparently teleported him on top of the Zeus table in the dining pavilion. It turns out your father blessed him sometime between when Percy and Artemis left, and when Percy was teleported back to camp"

"So that explains why my lightning doesn't affect you like I want it too, and what was your request" Thalia asked

"Noooooo" Annabeth immediately shouted and covered her eyes and looked away as I opened my shield.

Maybe I should have listened, as Thalia backed away and buried her head in Annabeth hair, while Chiron ran out the door and Perseus took cover behind the ping pong table. "It's away now" I said, but they didn't seem to believe me until Annabeth decided to be the brave one and confirm it.

"So after that Percy and I spent the rest of our time at camp trying to figure out the last two lines of the prophecy as they didn't happen. On the last day of summer camp, Luke lead Poseidon's kid into the woods, and Percy and I followed. It turns out Luke was betraying Olympus and had pit scorpions attack him. After he recovered Percy noticed your tree wasn't doing to well and it was poisoned, and completing the prophecy, and that was all last year" Annabeth said

"Holy Hades you two did a lot" Thalia mumbled

"Thalia, Hades already dislikes you because of your father. I advise you not using his name as a curse as he dislikes that" I said, but she probably ignored me.

"So anyways, Artemis invited me to travel with the hunt over the school year, and I learned an absolute ton, like better knife/dagger and archery skills, a whole lot of curse words, and a lot about meal prep of wild game, and some good pranking skills. Eventually, in winter, mom came because she wanted to challenge Percy to a fight with a spear, don't ask why as I don't know. So she trained both of us in spear fighting once to twice a week because and I quote 'I can't have my sister's adopted son, beating one of my children in my preferred weapon'. So we trained with her until the week we were returning to camp upon which we spared and she won in like a half hour" Annabeth said all excitedly because she loves her mom, and you can say what you want about the gods being terrible parents, Athena mainly because she isn't good with emotions, but they do love their kids, even if they don't necessarily show it, or know how to.

"Annie calm down, I get it you had fun learning from your mother and what not, but get on with the story" Thalia said calmly.

"Oh right, so we came back and your tree was given a few weeks to live. The gods needed someone to blame and blamed Chiron, then we fought and killed the Colchis bulls with Clarisse, Tantalus came in as Chiron's replacement that day but was killed after the first chariot race he forced everyone to do. After which Clarisse got a prophecy for the golden fleece as a monster attack interrupted the chariot race and she was tired of organizing border patrol duty 24/7. Percy and I found out about the prophecy and asked why she listened to her father's idiotic advice upon which time we went on the quest" Annabeth said

"Who's Clarisse" Thalia asked

"The daughter of Ares and head of his cabin" Annabeth answered quickly, "So we set sail for the fleece as it somehow ended up in the sea of monsters, The son of Poseidon became a stowaway, along with a cyclopes half-brother of his whom is surprisingly friendly. We were sailing between the strait of Charybdis and Scylla when everything went to shit and we escaped on two lifeboats, the cyclopes and Clarisse on one, and Poseidon's kid, Percy and myself on the other. We landed on Circe's island, and I got a free salon trip, while Percy made a deal with Circe for transport off the island" Annabeth told

"What was the deal" Thalia asked

"I traded Poseidon's kid and a good review in exchange for transport for Annabeth and myself off the island and deeper into the sea of monsters" I said

"really" Thalia asked

"yup" annabeth and I replied.

"Anyways next was the Siren's island where Percy listened to the song and refuses to explain exactly what he saw and only vaguely answered his family, but it looked like he was being tortured to me. After that we landed on Polyphemus's island Percy killed him, and I learned Percy has the title of Cyclops Slayer, and is feared by cyclops. After that we went back to our transport headed for mortal land and allowed Clarisse to bring the fleece back via plane. On our way back by our transport we ran into Luke who acquired a cruise ship and an army of monsters. Percy had him monologuing and he said he was the one who poisoned you. I was too distraught to recall anything after that really until I landed back on our transport and started cutting us loose and Percy had the cannons going of to hinder Luke's ability to trail us" Annabeth said and by the time she was finishing she was nearly in tears. "He broke his promise Thalia" Annabeth sobbed out at the end, and Thalia just took to doing her best to comfort Annabeth, and I'll admit I was a bit jealous of her.

"We came back here like a day and a half later and had a boring week until you showed up just now" I finished off the telling of events.

Once Annabeth calmed down a little bit, Thalia asked another question, "what was your transport"

"The Queen Anne's Revenge" Annabeth and I said at the same time, which seemed to ellevate some of her sad emotions for a moment.
