Funeral Time! The song is Let Me Fall by Josh Groban.
Let me fall
The remaining 7 began their funeral procession, carrying the shrouds of their friends, their companions, their family.
Let me climb
Annabeth chokes up at the lyrics, thinking of all the times Percy and her fought; all the times they kissed.
"I swear on the River Styx I will never kiss anyone else."
There's a moment when fear
Calypso just looks down at Leo's now lifeless body. He deserved so much more. He had a horrible life, and a horrible end.
And dreams must collide
Mitchell, Lacy, and Thalia are carrying Piper and Jason's bodies, seeing as the deceased had no other lover.
Someone I am
Octavian just smirks, thinking that he finally got the last word. 'Now I'll become praetor!'
Is waiting for courage
Bobby looks down at Hazel and Frank's bodies, holding hands even in death. Hazel was finally acknowledged by Pluto, and Frank indirectly saved all of their lives.
The one I want
Drew glances quickly at Jason, thinking of how much less things he would've gotten into if he just ditched the other two. Though he would've never done that.
The one I will become
Annabeth's vision is blurred by tears, she can't even see where she is going.
Will catch me
Reyna is holding Nico. She remembers how he defended her against that Giant even though he was still exhausted from shadow-travelling.
So let me fall
Ella is finally quiet. She can find no words to describe what is happening.
If I must fall
"No…They can't be dead…" Tyson cries out, running for Annabeth, putting a comforting arm around her.
I won't heed your warnings
Chiron looks up at the sky, tears streaming down his old face.
I won't hear them
'Are you happy now?'
Let me fall
Connor looks down at the shroud for his brother, Travis. He's one of the first who died.
If I fall
'How much more are you going to cost us?'
Though the phoenix may
Red hair clouds Rachel Dare's sight, her Oracle finally gone silent.
Or may not rise
'We held off Gaea this time. What will happen the next?'
I will dance so freely
Even Hank can't find words to say, and he finds the body of his sweetheart laying there, so still.
Holding on to no one
Gwen and Reyna slowly walk next to each other, each holding a shroud.
You can hold me only
Nathan and the rest of his legionnaires are saluting the dead.
If you too will fall
Laurel looks at Jason, thinking of how alive he looked around the rest of the 7.
Away from all these
Annabeth, the only one of the 7 left, has become like a shell, with no emotion inside.
Useless fears and chains
Marcus can only stare stonily at the bodies of all of the dead comrades.
Someone I am
Lacy is leaning against Mitchell, sobbing uncontrollably.
Is waiting for my courage
Larry can't help but to wonder who would be so wicked to take so many people from them, from Annabeth.
The one I want
Terminus is silent, looking down from above with the rest of the gods.
The one I will become
Most of the gods assembled are staring at the dead stonily, but some of them were crying.
Will catch me
They will deny it forever, but all of the Big 3, Athena, Hephaestus, Mars, Aphrodite, and Hestia were all weeping.
So let me fall
Hestia thinks of all of the nights she spent talking with Nico under the stars, next to each other and a fire.
If I must fall
They told each other everything. And when she says everything, she means everything.
I won't heed your warnings
Sally snorts through her tears. Immortals barely do.
I won't hear
Just for this once, mortals are allowed into Camp Half-Blood.
Let me fall
All of the Mist is dissolved, just for this one day.
If I fall
Leila thinks of her friend Alabaster, being cast out for one mistake.
There's no reason
Calypso thinks about Leo, never being able to call a house a home.
To miss this one chance
Hestia thinks of Nico, feeling like he had to leave for his feelings.
This perfect moment
Gaea fell, but at such a price.
Just let me fall
Such great losses, such great heroes.
Names that legacies shall be forever told, past down from generation onto generation:
Perseus Jackson, Leo Valdez, Piper McLean, Jason Grace, Hazel Levesque, Frank Zhang, Nico di Angelo:
Rest in Peace.
