Chapter 1

Chiron POV

Mr. D, or Dionysus, walked in suddenly as I was listening to music.

He stood there, and from my peripheral vision I saw him cross his arms and tap his feet, obviously waiting for me to get up and greet him.

Sighing I turned of the radio and got up from my wheelchair, instantly my true form was revealed, half horse, as most whom I just met would say. I turned to Mr. D on my hooves, and said. "What a pleasure Mr. D, may I help you with anything?"

Mr. D grunted, then waved his hand, a chair popped into existence behind him, he sat down on it, along the way gesturing for me to sit back down too, I did, I sat back down on the wheelchair and the mist instantly worked it's magic, disguising my horse half.

Mr. D, turned his palm upwards, a note appearing in his hands, he handed it to me, I took from him politely and opened it, on it reads;

A new alliance has been formed with the proclaimed Chinese Gods, for further closer relationship, three volunteers from their side and three from ours would be going through an exchange program, our volunteer, Annabeth, Triton, and Will Solace, would be going to their immortal world, while three other would be coming to ours, one to Olympus, one to Camp Jupiter, and another to Camp Half-Blood. It should be noted that the immortals on their side have no demigods, any children that are sired between mortals and immortals are granted immortality. The program shall start in a month, on April 1st.

Written from Athena.

I looked up from the note, surprise evident on my face was what I assumed from Dionysus's knowing smile when he saw my expression. I asked.

"The Chinese Gods? Like the Monkey King, and the Jade Emperor?"

Dionysus shook his head and replied. "No, apparently not, it seems that most of those are just Chinese folk legend, however there is a Jade Emperor, just not so emperor, more of a- advisor, to keep their immortal civilians civilized."

"Why wasn't I informed earlier? And did Annabeth and the others know of this?"

"Yes, if you are aware, she is an immortal advisor of her mother, and she was there during the meeting and has personally volunteered for the exchange system."

"How long is this program going to last?"

"That hasn't been decided yet, the duration would apparently be discussed during the summer solstice with the Chinese Gods."

I was a bit surprised that Mr. D was so cooperative today, however my worry because of the news of the existence of the Chinese gods kept me from being surprised for long.

I conversed with Dionysus a bit about these Chinese Gods, apparently he didn't know much, no information. We could only wait for the to them to come and learn more about them, or rely completely on Annabeth to gather information, however that would pressure the girl too much.

"Lastly, who are the three coming to us?"

"I only know of two; the god of pain, the god of rocks, and the last one is unknown, it just so happens that the last one is the one that's supposed to come here, to Camp Half-Blood."

I nodded, indicating that I understood, and greeted him goodbye.

When he left I leaned back onto my wheelchair and closed my eyes, praying that this was going to work out, if not, then we would have a legion of gods as enemies, without any information on them.
