Prologue:
The one who was betrayed shall have the key,
To unlock the door of eternity.
All things must end,
But with him it will begin.
When found at the place of sleep,
The door he will meet.
A life ended,
A love mended.
The move he will make,
Will seal his fate.
Percy smiled as he walked back into camp. It was a sunny day. The birds were flying only to be burnt to a crisp by Peleus who also seemed in a rather chipper mood today.
"Percy!"
Percy turned around. "Hey, Sky."
The boy grinned, Sky, real name Sirius, was undetermined. he had ebony skin and hair so black it was almost blue, while his eyes were a whole 'nother ball game. They were a piercing light blue and easily his most noticeable thing about him. For some reason all of the girls in the Aphrodite and Eros cabin thought he was just to die for. Now that Percy thought about it, a lot of girls period thought he was to die for. Sky was one of the only people at Camp Half-Blood who didn't ignore him, making him one of Percy's dearest, and only, friends at camp. Dylan Green, Percy's younger half-brother, had taken everything from him. His friends, Riptide, and fame and respect.
It seemed like the only people he had left in the world were Nico, the six of the prophecy, Calypso, Reyna, Thalia, Grover, Juniper, Ella, Tyson, Clarisse, Rachel and Sky. These few had stuck by him through everything, especially Annabeth. Annabeth was his girlfriend and soon to be fiancée. Reyna and Jason were at Camp Jupiter 24/7. Leo, Calypso, Frank and Hazel all went on a quest together and haven't been back for a while, Grover and Juniper were off exploring and helping the world. Piper stayed in New Rome with Jason, and Thalia was off with the hunters. Ella and Tyson were working in the forges with Poseidon, who hardly knows Percy exists anymore. Nico is off being Nico, summoning the dead and raiding McDonalds for Happy Meals. In other words, save for about three people, four if you count Clarisse, Percy was alone. His fists tightened, it was all his fault. Dylan had come to him saying how people treated him like an annoying little brother and how he couldn't live in Percy's shadow so Percy killed some monsters and said Dylan did it, and now.
"Do you have the ring? Check and make sure you haven't lost it again."
Percy's smile came back as Sky's words pulled him out of his thoughts and pulled out the black box in casing a wave patterned engagement ring.
Sky nodded, relieved. "Thank the gods, I thought this one was going to end up like your mom's."
"That ones not entirely gone, its in my Cabin, I just don't know where." Percy explained in an attempt not to seem as stupid as Sky had officially deemed him.
Sky gave Percy and 'your unbelievable' look wished him good luck patted him on the back and began walking away calling, "I've got some stuff to do in the mortal world. Don't screw this up."
Percy chuckled to himself and started walking. Sky was pretty much one of the only family members he had left ever since the mysterious deaths of his mom and Paul. He was the best friend, and crush, of Nico Di Angelo. That was how he and Percy met actually. Trying to help Nico, who ended up bonding even closer with Percy kind of like a brother. Percy looked down at the ring and let out a breath of air. He could do this. he could-
"Dylan!"
Percy turned to find the beautiful blonde he had been waiting to see. She was currently talking to Dylan.
"Percy, he-"
Clutching onto her shoulders Dylan gave her a quick peck on the lips. "Percy's gone. He won't be back for a few days, no one leaves to the real world for a couple hours.We're fine, where in the clear, besides that kelp head wouldn't even realize that were together even if he did see us." Dylan smiled trailing from her shoulders to her hands
"I'm not so sure about that." The two looked over.
"Percy-" whispered Annabeth in a tone used to carefully break bad news to someone.Percy just gave her a bitter smile
"Percy, what'd you expect. She loves me, everyone loves me, out with the old and in with the new right?" Dylan smirked.
Percy didn't even look at him until he fell on his butt as another figure stood glaring at the boy.
"Nico?" Annabeth asked than backed up as he gave her a death glare.
