Anaklusmos_127 , I just wanted to let you know about this book, you'd probably be interested. Anyway, on to the story!

Gregor's POV

"So, what'd you want to know?" Annabeth inquires. She's probably fully prepared for whatever I ask.

"Who are you? Why do you know how to sword fight? And also, how'd you get here?" I ask, a few at a time is fine, not all the questions I need answers to, just a few for now.

"We're Percy Jackson, Thalia, JUST THALIA, Nico Di Angelo, Hazel Levesque, and I'm Annabeth Chase. We're all ADHD, and Dyslexic, and we met at summer camp. Well, Nico and Hazel are half siblings, so they knew each other, but the rest of us met at summer camp. It's a summer camp for.... Special kids. We climb rock walls, play capture the flag, as well as sword fighting. The cabins are themed by Greek mythology, so Mr. D, the director of camp, sorts you by personality. So the Hermes cabin has a lot of pranksters. As to how we got here, we were visiting Seaweed Brain, or we were supposed to be, anyway, but it was only his mom and stepdad. So we checked the laundry room, where he was going before he disappeared, and saw a grate with smoke coming out of it. I poked my head in, and fell. Thalia started yelling, jumped in to catch me, fell, and so on. We followed the worn down path to here, and saw seaweed brain sticking his head out of the tower, so he came to the elevator and helped us up into the castle, and the rest is history." She finished finally. That didn't answer all my questions though. I saw Luxa walking over, and suggest we get moving.

I walked over to Mars, the bat I was riding. He reminded me too much of Ares. He has the same fur, and almost the same name! I almost burst into tears, again.

****

As we flew, I heard Percy and Thalia arguing again, Nico even chiming in at times.

"Blue's the best!" Percy yelled.

"No, silver!" Thalia screamed back.

"Guys, we all know black is the best." Nico said calmly, as if it were a fact.

"Black's okay, but silver is best." Thalia explained.

"But you love Mom's blue chocolate chip cookies!" Percy was practically begging. Then Thalia did the weirdest thing, she poked him from her bat. He yelped, then glared at her, she just barely flinched. I would have died under that look! Nico was just laughing. Hazel was whispering to Annabeth, and Luxa was trying to navigate.

"Alright, I love your mom's blue cookies, but silver is still the best!" Thalia screamed.

"So? Sea disasters are better than air disasters!" What did that have to do with anything?

"No they aren't, Kelp Head!"

"Pinecone face!"

"Rodent head!"

"Thunder thighs!"

"Seaweed Brain!"

"You had a crush on the sun!"

"No I didn't!"

"Yeah? Gotta say, Pinecone face, your exact words were: 'he's hot'. Then Kelp Head said, 'he's the sun'. And you replied, 'that's not what I meant'," Nico told them.

"Like you're one to speak, Death Breath! You've gotta crush on Solace, and you can't lie!" Thalia taunted.

I've gotta ask them about their nicknames. I mean, what kind of name is Pinecone face? Or Death Breath? Ugh, they're going to drive me insane.
