Hi guys! Sorry I haven't updated Animus Eternus in a while, but I've been busy with school, and have no idea where to go from there! I had a sudden idea for a plot, so I had to write it. I don't own anything by Rick Riordan (PJO/HoO), JK Rowling (HP), or Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto). I hope you enjoy!

Water. An unpredictable element. It can take the form of deadly spikes of ice, or churning waves in the ocean. It can be a beautiful stream in the woods, or a calm rippling lake in the mountains. It can be almost anything. Percy Jackson was the same way. No one was expecting him and his mortal family to disappear off the face of the earth. But, no one knew what his family was either...
No One's POV: 6 months after the Giant War
Percy sprinted up the hill, full of excitement for what was going to happen that night. He had just come back from some grueling tasks set for him by Athena, who had told Percy that he could not propose to Annabeth until he did them. But now, they were completed, and he was free to ask the love of his life to marry him. Percy sped through the camp, finally catching sight of his wise girl sitting by the lake.
"Annabeth!" he yelled, sprinting up to her.
"Hi, Percy." she replied unenthusiastically. Percy, being as oblivious as he is, completely missed this.
"Annabeth, can you come with me? I want to show you something!" Percy said. He led her through the woods to a cliff overlooking Long Island Sound. There, a picnic was set up. Percy and Annabeth sat down and enjoyed the picnic. After a while, Percy saw that the moon had risen, and he knew that it was time to pop the question. He turned to Annabeth and got down on one knee.
"Annabeth-" he was interrupted by Annabeth.
"Percy, I'm sorry, but I can't marry you. After everything settled down, I realized I was using you to get over Luke. I'm sorry." she said. With that, she stood up and disappeared into the forest. That night, Perseus Achilles Jackson disappeared from the world of the gods.
Percy opened the door to his apartment and walked inside. Tear tracks ran down his face, and his eyes were red from crying. Sally Jackson and Paul Blofis looked up from the movie they were watching and took in his appearance.
"Honey, what happened?" Sally said. Percy explained Annabeth's response to his proposal. Once he was done, Sally and Paul enveloped him in a hug.
"Honey, I'm sorry about what happened. I know this is a bad time, but we have some important news to tell you. Paul and I are moving to England. We are moving there because of my past life. I used to live in England. Back then, I wasn't called Sally Jackson. I was Lily Potter."
