Disclaimer: I do not own the characters that are also mentioned at the series of Rick Riordan.

Hello, everyone. This is the first story I ever actively wrote, in its rewritten version.

I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to comment!

The following is the summary

After the Second Giant War, and Gaia being put back to sleep, things had changed.

She left everlasting damage happening all over the world and what better way to do that than without proving to everyone she was indeed related to the dramatical Zeus, Apollo, and Dionysus. Her plan was to bind the Mist with all her strength for a month. After that, since the Mist shows mortals what they are prepared to believe and the world of the Greco-Roman Pantheon had been revealed, the mortals would continue to see everything.

Nothing would ever be the same.

In this story we see Percy going back to Goode after the Reveal.

In this story, we see how the mortals learn why he is a hero and how he became one. They learn what he is fighting for and try to bring out his character. They try to help the war veteran overcome his horrors and gain something more to fight for... Under the guidance of Hestia, the mortals will try but will they actually succeed in proving that their classmate isn't just the empty shell of who he used to be?

Summary ends here.

Now, this chapter is just a basic outline of everything. If you find any mistakes I would love it for you to point them out. I'm not a native English speaker.

~~~~~~~~~

Moments before her sleep and the end of the Second Giant War, Gaia used the last of her powers to destroy the Mist. It was hard for everyone to adapt in a world without the pressure veil separating one reality into two worlds. Everyone -demigods, mortals, satyrs, nymphs, even gods- was shocked. It took one very intense conversation between the sky lord and his wisest daughter for an acceptable answer to this problem to be issued.

An event that would later one be referred to as "The Reveal" occurred. The revelation that the pantheon of the Ancient Greeks and Romans was not merely mythology and fairy tails.

The goddess of spirit, trust, and honesty was the bearer of the news. Bound to her domains, Pistis spoke of monsters, Titans, and Giants. She spoke of the monstrous deeds they have done but made a point of the ones that are peaceful and not evil. She mentioned heroes, old to separate the reality from the myth, and new to assure all that there were still heroes ready to fight for what is just.

Demigods were a controversial subject. Pistis assured all that, like mortals, some are good and some are bad. Some hold unimaginable power, some do not. All are half mortal and all are alike mortals.

There were several days, in which the mortals were suspicious of and hostile to demigods. Children that have killed. Killers, they were thought to be.

It was Annabeth's plan which brought peace. In close collaboration with the goddess of honesty, herself, demigods who had no qualms with being known as demigods spoke of their deeds regarding humanity and civilization, both bad and good

It was a fact that, at that moment, mortals recognized demigods as allies. Heroes who were ready to die so that others could live.

Left in their awe for the selfless acts children daily made, the mortals were nearing hero-worship. Forever ready to knock people out of their fantasy-land, Clarisse spoke.

She told them about how she herself used to be a bully, how demigods had done the worst, how their action had cost various lives.

Finally beginning to see the world for what it is, nearly two months after the Reveal, all mortal governments from all around the globe made the start to a long line of changes to their nations.

To the school curriculum, a subject called Ancient Pantheons: Greece and Rome was added to educate the youth. All the information regarding the subject was available from the internet and in public libraries, to educate all mortals who wished it and had already finished their studies.

The result was nothing even Apollo himself would have ever predicted.

Apparently, the knowledge that people, possibly half your age, had fought to save your oblivious behinds, made people want to become saving worthy. It wasn't all over, humanity was far from perfect and it might lead to a lot of new troubles but slowly and steadily more and more people started to think. To think about their future, about their actions...

There will always be those people, no matter what they are called, be it prostitutes, bullies or so much more. The number of them could be decreased, though.

The change was there.

A new era had begun and it would make the Enlightenment seem like a child's play. Gods and goddesses, immortals of all shapes and forms, mortals and half-bloods, all bore some purpose in the new era. An era in which mankind would thrive for the better with renewed tries.

Evolution.

It always brought good and evil.

Just... good and evil of higher class.
