[Third Person's PoV]
Lucian, Nico, and Bianca all appeared by the entrance of Camp Half-Blood, its sign hung high by the entrance.
"Ugh… I'm still not used to that" Bianca groaned, massaging his face.
Nico looked up towards the sign and narrowed his eyes, "What does that say?"
"It's camp Half-Blood, it's mostly a summer camp for greek demigods" Lucian explained giving them a brief summary, "Come on let's go"
As soon as Nico and Bianca made it inside the camp their eyes widened in astonishment. They stood frozen as the view of another world appeared before them. This was the second time they had felt like they were thrown throughout time, however this time it was much more severe.
They looked at the marble white buildings, all the kids running around with large smiles spread across their faces. The atmosphere giving off a festive mood as everyone was preparing themselves.
"It's… Beautiful…" Bianca muttered with a look of awe.
All Nico could do was stare dumbfoundedly while nodding in agreement with his sister.
"Why thank you" Lucian said quite proudly.
"Hm?" Bianca asked looking at Lucian strangely, his gratitude breaking her out of her reverie, "What do you mean, 'Thank you'?
Lucian had a cocky grin as he explained, "The Camp didn't really look like this before, it appeared as a natural summer camp with wooden cabins, that was until Annabeth and I redesigned and reconstructed everything turning it into what you see before you"
"Liar" Bianca scoffed, not believing him in the slightest.
"You know, I'm with Bianca on this, I already think you're like the coolest guy ever, there's no need to lie just to keep impressing us" Nico said shaking his head with a smile.
"Phttt, Hehehe, you're right I'm a liar" Lucian smirked, "Now come on, let's go meet the counselor of this camp. Afterwards I'll give you a tour of the place"
They then followed Lucian and along the way most of the campers all greeted him, gave him a casual high five as they moved along. Making both Nico and Bianca realize just how truly popular Lucian was.
"Mr. D" Lucian nodded towards the God with the Hawaiian shirt.
"Lucus Yellowtoes" Mr. D said sipping his diet coke, "Who are the new brats?"
"Siblings" Lucian said, informing him before heading inside the large blue house.
"Oh great more of his spawn, dear old dad is gonna love this~" Mr. D teased as they went inside.
"Who was that?" Biancs asked with furrowed brows.
"Wine God, he's here as punishment and has to overlook the camp."
"Wine God?" Bianca asked in confusion until Nico pulled out a stack of Mythomagic Cards and showed her who Lucian was talking about.
"Ah…" She muttered in realization.
Lucian simply entered the room where he detected everyone.
"Then after Percy went and met with his mother Lucian teleported us here and you know the rest" Thalia said before turning towards the door to see Lucian walking in.
Annabeth, who was lying casually on Thalia's lap, quickly sat up upon sensing Lucian's arrival.
"Hey you guys, fancy seeing you here" Annabeth teased as it hasn't been long since they separated.
Nico raised a hand in a greeting, "Yo!"
Chiron turned from Thalia towards Lucian and the two siblings.
"I see… I can sense it from them… They're definitely his children, aren't they?" Chiron then gave them both a kind and welcoming smile as he said, "Come now, Why don't you guys introduce yourselves, I am Chiron, the head counselor of this Camp."
"Wait! Chiron? As in the Centaur Chiron that's known to be the Trainer of Heroes?!" Nico asked in excitement
Chiron chuckled and nodded, "The one and only"
"Hello, My Name is Bianca Di Angelo" Bianca said politely.
Nico looked towards his sister and realized that he failed to introduce himself, he looked towards Chiron and bowed, "Nico Di Angelo"
"A pleasure" Chiron said with a nod of courtesy, Chiron then turned towards Lucian. "As their brother I'll leave it to you to get them accustomed and explain the rules here along the camp"
"That was the plan from the beginning…" Lucian said with a nod.
Annabeth flipped over the couch and said, "I'll join, I've grown bored here"
"I'll join you as well, I already shared what I had to say and explain everything we went through" Thalia said standing up and joining Lucian.
Chiron made mostly Percy, Clarisse, and Grover stay as this was their very first quest and wanted to make sure they were alright, Physically and Mentally.
"Come, I'll take you to our cabin where you'll be staying, you can put your stuff in there before we go forth with the tour" Lucian explained, making Bianca and Nico nod in understanding.
As they exited all three of them froze as they saw Luke leaning back against a tree, arms crossed, a leg raised, he was mostly expressionless.
Bianca and Nico immediately sensed the tense silence that hung in the air and noticed how they were all just staring at the cute blond hair boy that was also just looking towards them.
"Wait here," Lucian ordered them.
Hearing the seriousness in Lucian's tone they stood right where they were while Lucian, Annabeth, and Thalia walked up towards Luke.
"If it isn't the Terrific Trio~" Luke teased with a smirk.
"Why did you do it Luke?" Annabeth asked with a disappointed sigh.
"Do what?" Luke smirked, feigning ignorance.
Thalia rolled her eyes, "Don't play dumb, why did you try to send Percy down there"
"Tsk" Luke clicked his tongue, "So he really did survive then, I take it was due to your interference?"
"What do you think?" Lucian asked with a scoff.
Luke shrugged, "Hey, they told me the enchantments were undetectable. I told them you would still be able to find them but they didn't believe me"
"Percy still had nothing to do with this, since when were you so ready to throw an innocent life away?" Thalia asked.
"When it was for the greater good… If it makes you feel any better I don't have anything against Percy. In fact I sympathize with him…" Luke said with a sigh shaking his head.
"Luke there's no turning back from what you've done, I hope you know that. This is a line you've crossed that you can't really turn back from" Annabeth said with a cold look.
"I never intended to return in the first place…" Luke scoffed, "However as a peace offering since we're all such really good friends, here's my reward towards you three: Tonight is the last day you will see me in this camp. So let's enjoy it while it lasts. We'll be making this party my going away celebration"
Luke then looked at them with a friendly, charismatic smile, a smile as if they were all still good friends, "This is the last day we will be considered friends, When this party is over we'll be considered enemies. So let's enjoy it to the fullest"
Once Luke saw they had gotten his message he stopped leaning and broke through Thalia and Annabeth, "Let's make this night a night to remember!" Luke grinned, raising his fist excitedly, putting on a pretense for everyone to see.
