( finding herself within an ornate ballroom, she raises her brow and looks around, heaving a sigh )

Great. Where is this?

I don’t recognize any of the structures around here from any books I’ve read or Daedalus’ research, even…
( she passes another soft sigh ) Okay, talk it out, Annabeth…

Not Greek in make, so definitely not randomly somewhere in Olympus. And, it’s not Western American make either, or Eastern American for that matter… It’s just not American whatsoever. I didn’t… Fall through a crack into the Underworld, or…?

Dangit. Mom—!? Is this some sort of sudden quest—!?

Ugh,Gods! How do you go from showing plans to Zeus for a new throne room and end up — wherever the heck this is!? All I wanted to do today was get my plans together for the council room and…

Son of a gun… Actually!
Maybe I have some drachmas… If I can find some water to contact the Gods, or Percy, or…

Goddess? ( well that might be helpful ) Which one...?

/brace for impact

[lamb_of_gold]

The goddess Athena, though I think she may be in her home reality at the moment.

[bornofwisdom]

( Athena? here? she raises her brows and stupidly forgets her place )

Mom? Mom is here?

[lamb_of_gold]

[......]


...I beg your pardon?

[bornofwisdom]

You said Athena is here, right?

( too late to go back now. )

[lamb_of_gold]

She is, but....you call her mother?

[bornofwisdom]

Well, yeah. ( she shrugs nonchalantly ) You usually call your mom, well, mom.

[lamb_of_gold]

I was.... Unaware that my Lady had children.

[bornofwisdom]

Your lady...?

[lamb_of_gold]

[Brain Restart successful!]

Yes. I am one of Athena's Saints. I protect Her and her Sanctuary.

This is the Astral Plane - a meeting point of different universes and times. It's more than likely that you and I are from very different realities, since I am quite sure my Lady has not borne a child. She's rather young, still.

[bornofwisdom]

You're a Saint? ( sorry, that's kind of awesome ok )

... oh. Well that makes more sense, I guess.

If your Lady, Athena, had physically borne a child then she wouldn't be my mother because Athena is a virgin Goddess. ( SO THERE ) That's why all of her children are born of the mind, brain children.

[lamb_of_gold]

The Saint of Aries, Mu.

Ah, I was wondering. I thought it strange for Athena to have a child, but now I understand. Nevertheless, the goddess I serve has no children of her own.

[bornofwisdom]

I didn't know that mom had Saints at her command.

( she gives a gentle shrug ) Doesn't make sense though, gods can bend the limitations of time and other dimensions. Why wouldn't my mom be the same goddess as yours? ( that makes her frown and suddenly, she feels very, very alone )

[lamb_of_gold]

It's a possibility, I suppose. Unlikely, but a possibility.

[bornofwisdom]

I guess so...

( excuse her while she trails off rather sadly )

[lamb_of_gold]

[Mu tilts his head slightly.] Does this godling have a name?

[bornofwisdom]

( she frowns, but nods )

Annabeth. Annabeth Chase.

[lamb_of_gold]

Annabeth.

Come. I will bring you to some information about this place. I'll answer questions along the way, if you have them.

[bornofwisdom]

... thanks.

( again, she nods. getting some information would be nice, as for her curiosity of the area, well, it's all but gone.

for the moment. )

[lamb_of_gold]

[He half-turns in the direction he wants to go, then offers her his hand.]

[bornofwisdom]

( raising her brows at the offer of his hand, she lifts her gaze to look at him. it's an interesting gesture, the last person's hand she held was Percy's...

numb at the thought that her mother isn't her mother here, she takes his hand and nods for him to lead the way )

[lamb_of_gold]

[He can be a gentleman when he tries.

Nevertheless, he leads her out of the ballroom, and towards the information kiosk. He remains silent as long as she does. Despite being swathed in armour, he doesn't look even the slightest bit bothered by it.]

[bornofwisdom]

( heading along with him, she takes in the area she's found herself in. it seems like a vast nothingness, almost. raising her brows, she glances to Mu )

It's so empty. ( well; almost. there are buildings, but the nothingness is still pretty large given ) Are we between dimensions?

[lamb_of_gold]

It can seem that way. There are areas somewhat more populous than this.

We are. You can return home with a thought, and make your way back here in the same manner.

[bornofwisdom]

That's ingenius. ( she raises her brows. using mental connections to homeworld dimensions to travel; that's so much better than anything else she's heard of to date )
