Welcome to the third and sadly the final book! Thank you to the viewers that have encouraged me in my writing and the friends who have given me hope. Please read and review. Constructive criticism is allowed, but flames will be ignored.

I do not own Percy Jackson nor Heroes of Olympus, they belong to Rick Riordan.

Chapter One

The sounds of metal on metal filled the arena, sand crunching under boots. Sweat dripped off of tan skin, the sun beating down on the two swordsman's hard.

Alyx swept her leg under Isaac's legs, making him yelp and fall.

"I win again! Alyx: 20, Isaac: 0."

It had been a month since the whole ordeal with Akira and the others being kidnapped, and everything had sort of went back to normal. Alyx managed to convince Chiron to let Rei stay at Camp Half-Blood, even after they found out about his tail and ears. She just thought it was cute when they popped up. She freaked out everyone when she grabbed his tail and started stroking it, which made him make a really weird sound (that made every adult and some of her friends very uncomfortable) but she thought it was just funny. Sure his face turned red and he started to pant, and she just assumed it was sensitive.

Anyway, Carlos, Liam and Harper confirmed that they were coming to Camp Half-Blood for the summer, which meant Charles and Silena were coming as well. Carlos would have nightmares of the Gladiator Games and of being slave to Akira so he would wake up in the middle of the night and call her in the middle of a panic attack. Alyx would calm him to sleep, sometimes singing to him or telling him stories from her day. He would relax when she would tell him the days left until he would be able to come. But was worrying her was the no contact from Liam. Alyx had given him a monster proof phone yet she hadn't heard from him at all.

At least Harper, Carlos and Liam would arrive tomorrow, so some of her worries could diminish. The other worries, like Akira suddenly reappearing and declaring war, the others being kidnapped, or her new siblings being kidnapped. Ace and Ebony were a month old, their eyes open and very active. Ebony slept all day, and then was up all night. Ace was up all day, and then slept all night. The day after Carlos and Liam left, the gods called them up to Mount Olympus. After introducing Ace and Ebony to Poseidon and Athena, the gods gave their blessing, before getting to important matters after ogling over the babies. Alyx told them her encounters with Akira's monsters, introduced Rei (who was cowering a lot and hid behind her most of the time), and how she met Carlos and Liam. She didn't reveal their identities, casually mentioning they were descendants of demigods, but not of the grandparents. After she had finished her story, the gods told them they would be in close contact with their allies.

Isaac patted his face and neck with his towel before taking a sip of his water, panting.

"How did you get so damn good?" He asked, making her shrug.

"Practice." Alyx replied, capping Riptide. She went over and picked up her towel and water bottle, before starting to leave.

"I'm going to go take a shower. I'll see you at dinner."

"Okay, see you."

Alyx liked how their friendship was. They fought a lot, but were best friends in the meantime. She trudged to the Poseidon cabin, smiling at everyone in high spirits, since it was the last day of school and camp activities would begin tomorrow. It was Friday tomorrow, meaning Capture the Flag.

After she had returned and the twins had been born, everyone was cheery, yet cautious of her. She didn't blame them, since she did that weird bringing back the dead loved ones thing, but she didn't even know how she did that. It was a moment of contentment and she just really wanted to see Jax and Luke and… Well everyone. She loved hearing the happy cries from the campers, hearing her mom cry at the sight of Luke and everyone else who had been lost in the wars. Alyx reassured everyone it was just a weird thing that she did out of contentment, but everyone told her it was heart strengthening to see them again.

Alyx stepped into her room, looking around for Rei. After convincing Chiron to let him stay, Rei pleaded to stay with her in her cabin since he didn't feel comfortable anywhere else. So they rearranged her bedroom. Her bed now faced the opposite wall instead of by the windows, Rei's cot sitting high for the sun to come through. Her desk and dresser stayed the same.

Sighing, she flicked the light, seeing movement under the blankets on his cot before his hands poked through, followed by his head, his hair messy and his ears twitching as he blinked to adjust to the light.

"H-Highness?" He asked sleepily. Alyx didn't mind being called highness, and even after telling him repeatedly not to call her that, he continued to do so anyway.

"Hey. Sorry to wake you." He yawned, his ears folding back in the process. She smiled and threw her towel in the hamper, then set her bottle on the desk.

"It's okay…" He started to sit up but she waved at him.

"Go back to sleep. I'm going to take a shower before the sword training class." Rei blinked but nodded and settled back down, pulling the blankets over just to his neck, laying his head on the pillow, his ears twitching cutely. Alyx grabbed some clothes and headed into the bathroom. She rinsed off, got dressed and stepped back into the bedroom, looking at Rei with a soft smile. She quietly walked over, scratching behind his ears, making him smile and purr. Ever since coming up from Tartarus, his hair that had almost been white, turned a lovely light blond. His ears and tail were the same color, not to mention his skin looked darker.

Alyx grabbed Riptide and headed back to the arena.

She patted her face with her towel on break, listening to everyone's stories during her missing. Piper and Jason's kids, Ashe, Heather and Shauna, happily sat on the bench while telling stories of school and camp. Ashe, who was in fifth grade, Heather, who was in fourth and Shauna, who was in second, told stories of what they did for Valentine's Day and Halloween or other events. Several times, Jasper and Phillip tried pulling them away, but Alyx insisted on letting them speak.

"And then this boy from my class hit the other kid and made his nose bleed!" Ashe said, slamming her fist into the palm of her hand. Alyx laughed.

"Reminds me of Dad when he was younger." She saw him twitch by the weapon rack, looking over and glaring. Alyx simply gave him a smug smile. She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see Jasmine there, fidgeting. Her daughter, Fleur, a sweet, dark skinned, green eyed baby sat in the carried, sucking on the pacifier, looking at her with big green eyes, but Jasmine didn't share the same look.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Something is wrong with Rei."
