Prologue
A sixteen year old boy with black hair and eyes like the ocean was climbing up a hill . Atop it is a magnificent white pine tree draped in something gold that glinted against the setting sun. He was halfway up the hill when a hooded figure appeared out of nowhere just five feet away in front of him, blocking the view of his destination.
"No, young hero you must not go back. Or else we will all be doomed."
The unknown woman said with so much authority in her voice, but the green eyed boy kept trudging uphill pretending that he haven't heard her at all.
"Even without your memories you still persist. Wake up fool. It is not time to go home yet. WAKE!" The woman snapped and her final word boomed across the rolling hills. Then the boy disappeared in a flash of golden light.
"You can come out now I know you're there." After the woman said that, a girl about the age of twelve with gentle brown eyes came out from behind the pine tree.
"Such strong will to go home, isn't it?" the girl sounded older than her looks.
"It must be amusing for you, but it's troublesome to me. I've already been through this five times. I wonder….."the woman was lost in thought asking no one in particular.
"Home is where the heart is. And a person will always return back home." the little girl said a bit dreamily.
"And the boy's heart is his friends." she added as if this cleared everything up.
"FRIENDS!-the woman spatted the words with strong distaste - He will not need friends in the place where he is going. What he needs most is to survive."
After the woman said this the girl's gentle brown eyes looked at her with sadness in them. Silence filled the air. And the girl finally said:
"I must go, I still need to tend the hearth." and she disappeared in a flash of golden light.
Even after the girl disappeared. The woman stayed rooted to her place. She was staring at the same spot where the boy stood moments ago.
"Perseus Jackson you must survive. For it is necessary for my family's own survival." and just like the teenage boy and the girl earlier, she too disappeared in a flash of golden light.
Miles away from that hill in the forest of another camp. A clueless Percy Jackson with no memories at all except his dreams woke up with a start.
