“Ahem, quiet down now!”, Zeus the Greek 

god of the sky said. “ This better be 

important! The last time you called for a 

meeting was because you ran out of 

pudding!”, Athena the goddess of wisdom 

said. “Well, this is important!”, Zeus said. “All 

the stars are crowding up our daytime sky!”, 

he said. “We need to put an end to this!” 

“How about we give a test to all the stars , 

and see which one is best. The others will 

then come out only at night. We need them in 

the night for the mortals anyway!”, Percy, my 

mortal and loyal friend said. “I think that’s a 

great idea!”, I said aloud. The gods all nodded 

their   heads.

“But where will we do this contest, and what 

will we test the stars on?”Athena pointed out. 

Sometimes I wish she wasn't so wise! Then, an 

idea popped into my head. “Lets see which 

star shines the brightest!”I said. “I think thats 

a great idea, Pratina!”Percy said to me. I 

grinned at him. “Then its settled. Tomorrow 

morning we meet at the arena where we can 

see each, and every star in the sky”, Zeus 

said. Then we all went to our cabins to sleep.

“Knock, knock!”, Percy said. I jumped out of 

bed and opened the door for him. He looked 

very happy. His sea green eyes glistened with 

excitement. His dark black hair very neat and 

tidy. And his tanned skin complimented his 

purple toga. “Guess who was doing the 

Olympus Shake!”, he said as he walked in. I 

snapped my fingers and my robe turned into a 

bright pink toga. “Was it Zeus again!?”, I 

replied. Percy nodded. He's making Hera 

mad!”, he said to me. I laughed. “So do we 

have to bring anything to the contest?”, I 

asked Percy. “I don't know! But whatever we 

need Zander is so going to come and tell us 

any minute now!” Zander is a son of Athena. 

Always prepared. Unlike me and Percy! 

Suddenly we heard a knock on my cabins door. 

Bang, bang! “May I come in?”, said a soft 

voice. “Go ahead!”, I said. The door creaked 

open, and in came a young man wearing a 

light blue toga with dirty blond hair, pale skin, 

and electric blue eyes that matched his toga 

perfectly. He could have been mistaken for a 

child of Zeus but, because of his personality he 

was, DEFINITELY a child of Athena.
