Jason was still in shock, Leo was alive and standing in front of him.

Jason was also in shock on what happened at Camp Half-Blood, how a guy in a simple silver trim cloak said to his father, Zeus. And, how his father only nodded.

The only time Jason had seen someone talk back to his father, was last August when he and Percy were trying to fight back.

Jason has heard stories of Percy back talking immortals, but, never that the immortals accepting it.

That goes to where Jason is now, sitting in a chair in the throne room with his sister's ranting.

"- is no one going to say anything about what happened, or giving an explanation for the fact- Jason are you even listening?" Thalia asked, annoyed.

Jason accidently tuned his sister out, when his thoughts went to Leo and the girl, he introduced as Calypso. Right when the Olympians brought the leaders to the throne room, Leo and Calypso started talking with Leo's father, Hephaestus.

Jason turned back towards his sister, "Maybe their waiting for the ones who actually called the meeting." He suggested calmly to his frustrated sister.

"Only this so called 'guardian' Perseus." Thalia replied, air quoting the word, guardian. She also, spat his name, which confused Jason.

Before Jason could ask, five flashes of lights.

Sky/electric blue. Zeus.

Fiery red. Hestia.

Pink. Aphrodite.

Grey. Athena.

Blood red. Ares.

But, Jason didn't see silver from Artemis.

Once all the guardians stepped into the throne room, they bowed to their Olympian and sat in front of them doing something different.

Sky/electric blue, Zeus. Alyssa, that's what his father called her, was playing with her hands and Jason saw her glowing blue eyes.

Fiery red, Hestia. She was playing with a fire pit in front of Hestia.

Pink, Aphrodite. He was reading a book on what seemed to be a college text book.

Grey, Athena. He was sharpening his spear

Blood red, Ares. She was sharpening her dagger and looking around the room.

"Where's Perseus?" Zeus asked, voicing Jason's pervious thought.

The five shrugged.

"How are we supposed to know, you act like he tells us things." Alyssa said bitterly.

Artemis frowned at the news, "You don't know where he is."

She got a chorus of 'no's as a response.

Artemis slumped in her throne, what Jason can see as, worry.

Finally, after a few moments of Artemis's worry, her Guardian appeared.

The silver light started in the middle of the thrones, before moving towards Artemis's throne and stopped.

When the light disappeared, Perseus was sitting there, relaxed and leaning his head back on the front of the throne.

Jason swore he heard Artemis sighed in relief, and she smiled warmly at her Guardian.

Jason could also hear 'finally's from, Alyssa, his father's Guardian and Ares' Guardian.

He felt confused on why they treated Perseus like that. Were they jealous of him? Did something happen and now there's bad blood? Is it a competitive thing? Or was is it hate?

Zeus cleared his throat, snapping Jason out of his thoughts, "Perseus." The King of Gods started, making the Guardian of Artemis look his way. "What war? You mentioned a war earlier. Who is the war against?" He asked patiently.

Jason, as well as everyone else, looked towards the Guardian of Artemis waiting in suspense for the answer.

Perseus looked down, before resuming his position of leaning against Artemis's throne. Not making a sound once.

Until Jason heard Perseus exhale loudly a few moments later. Without moving Perseus replied, "I have an idea. But, I pray and hope I'm wrong."

"And...." The Guardian of Aphrodite trailed off.

"And, what?" Perseus asked, like there wasn't a war looming over their heads and everything was perfectly calm and normal.

Alyssa sighed, "Perseus, you need to tell us and stop keeping secrets."

Jason tensed and had a gut feeling a fight was coming on, mostly by the way Perseus tensed up.

"I keep secrets for a reason. Have you ever thought about why I keep secrets? I can't tell you who I suspect, because if I'm wrong then we have more problems than a small war." He replied, bitterly.

Jason can tell that he normally isn't bitter, by how the Olympians were gaping at him.

Jason could tell the secrets he held were big burdens, and it seemed like he didn't want anyone to carry the weight.

Jason looked around to see how Leo and Calypso were holding each other, Frank and Hazel were looking like war veterans taking up the responsibility of another war, Piper was looking like she was mentally preparing herself for another war, and Annabeth had a burning determination in her eyes for another war.

All the other veterans were preparing themselves, either mentally or physically.

Jason was ready for the war, but, he wasn't sure if he could handle the secrets that burden a Guardian. The Guardian of Artemis, no less.

What he could gather from Perseus, is he's accomplished many trials, according to his title. Which Jason doesn't know it all, but how Artemis acted about it, Perseus has a long title.

And, Chiron he seemed to be worried about the fight that's about to break out.

Jason had a feeling Rachel could break up the fight, seeing as she can go against Octavian with only a hairbrush. She would be able to get them to listen, and maybe say a prophecy.

"Perseus, how do you know what's best for the situation? You only have an idea on who's starting the war, that's it. How were you ever useful?" Alyssa spat angrily.

Jason saw the shocked faces, but, Jason had an idea that something happened to divide the Guardians. The question was what?

Jason noticed that Perseus was nodding his head slightly for a few moments, before turning towards Artemis.

Perseus motioned for Artemis to come, which she did with no argument. He said a few things to Artemis, causing her to beam and grin.

Jason was a little worried that something was going to happen to his father's Guardian.

Artemis straitened up and beamed with happiness, "REALLY!!!" She exclaimed in surprise and excitement.

Perseus shrugged, "I did it before, I can do it again."

Jason was confused on what was happening, but, it seemed no one wanted to break up their moment.

Artemis launched herself at him for a hug, making Perseus stumble a few inches.

Perseus chuckled, "Well, it's good to see you excited, Arty." He said in a light teasing tone.

Jason hasn't heard this much emotion from Perseus before.

Artemis pulled away, and scowled, "I guess we're stuck together." She sighed, but Jason felt there was underlining tone of teasing. "I, Artemis, accept Perseus as my Guardian, again." Artemis sighed dramatically on the word 'again'.

Perseus glowed slightly silver and Jason could see his aura.

Perseus turned to the other Guardians, "Once you are accepted, go to Camp Half-Blood secure the borders and don't let anyone catch you until a camp leader is there."

Perseus turned to Reyna, "Praetor Reyna, I suggest you to bring some legionnaires to Camp Half-Blood from Camp Jupiter. And, if you need any help from the Olympians, ask. If that doesn't work, tell the Olympian my name." Anyone in the room could tell he was smirking. You can hear it in his words.

Perseus turned, bowed to Artemis, "Lady Artemis," and turned to a silver light, speeding towards the wall of the throne room, leaving Artemis chuckling and shaking her head.

Jason thought he seen a of Perseus' cloak and the light speed away, and disappeared. Shaking his head he turned his attention back to the Olympians, then thinking about the strange Guardian.

Zeus started on the accepting of Guardians, "I, Zeus, accept Alyssa as my Guardian." She glowed an sky/electric blue.

Hestia went next, "I, Hestia, accept Gracie as my Guardian." She glowed a fiery red.

"I, Aphrodite, accept Eric as my Guardian." He glowed pink.

"I, Athena, accept Benjamin as my Guardian." He glowed grey.

"I, Ares, accept Dakota as my Guardian." She glowed blood red.

They bowed and left to do what Perseus told them to.

"Now that is done. Anything else to add to the meeting?" Zeus announced.

Piper stood up, "What is Perseus' story?"

Everyone turned to Artemis, "Piper I can't answer that. I earned his trust, but even then, he didn't tell me everything. His trust is hard to get. It took him years to open up. I actually don't know the full story. His trust is limited." She smiled sadly and shrugged.

Piper nodded, thoughtfully.

"Well, it seems that you all need to go back to the camps." Zeus thundered, raising his mater bolt.

And, suddenly Jason was at Camp Half-Blood.
