Annabeth's POV

Chapter 1

We had finally defeated Gaea! Good right? Well actually not so much. We lost a lot of people in the battle and have tons of work to do. The whole place is a wreck and we need to repair the damage. I would help as lead architecture fanatic. We planned to have a celebration as soon as the damage was repaired. We would be celebrating the defeat of Gaea and the uniting of the camps. There would be a portal to travel from one camp to the other and we had a peace treaty made and signed to show that the camps are now allied and no longer enemies. The odd thing though is that ever since the defeat of Gaea we haven't seen a single monster or heard a prophesy. It was really strange but peaceful in a way like it was saying that we had been through enough already.

Today we expected for the lumber to be brought in. It was fresh new wood and if I do say so myself the repairs are looking pretty darn good. After we finished we would be adding a whole new section we had agreed upon. It was for the minor gods and also for those who get married and want to start a family. Also several colleges. It would become not only a place to train yourself but a whole little world just for demi-gods. I couldn't wait for it all to be finished.

" Hey, Wise girl." Percy said coming up behind me and placing his head on my shoulder as he watched the campers work on the repairs with his arms around my waist.

" Hey, Seaweed brain." I replied with a smug smile.

" After the universities are built we should pretty much be in college." He ventured. " What would you study?"

" Well, architecture of course!"

" Just what I thought, but is that all that you have thought about doing?"

" Pretty much, yeah. What about you, though? What would you study?" I asked curiously.

He shrugged. " I don't know. Maybe a Marine Biologist or teaching or…something. I'll think of something."

" Teaching?" I asked. " Since when do you want to be a teacher?"

" Well, I could bring in new campers and teach about the Greek and Roman gods and godessess. It could be cool, I suppose."

" You, want to be a teacher? I would have never guessed."

He blushed, no longer behind me. " I could teach. I'm not sure what I might do. It's just an option."

He looked me in the eye. " What do you think of when you think the future?"

I shook my head. " I don't know." I told him truthfully. " You and I going to college here, I suppose. Then getting jobs and then get married probably." At the end I knew I was blushing but he didn't mind.

" Sounds like an amazing plan!" He said. I just laughed.

Just then the lumber arrived in a massive truck. The lumber was in good shape and was a beautiful color. The problem was how long it was. It was pretty long. I felt bad for the person driving behind the truck. When a big burly dude stepped out. He was wearing overalls and blue jeans beneath them. He also wore a red shirt and to top it off a cowboy hat and ruddy boots that looked like they hadn't been worn in decades. The guy looked to be in his late thirties maybe early forties.

" I'm hear to drop off this lumber." He called in his deep voice.

It sent a shiver down my spine. All my instincts told me he was a monster. My body instantly tended up. " Are you mortal?" I managed to ask.

" Annabeth…." Percy started.

Just then the guy interrupted him. " No, and be glad I am not. How do you think a mortal would take that question?"

" Not well." I admitted. " If your not mortal than what are you? Are you

half-blood or monster?"

He turned to Percy. " I thought you said she was a child of Athena."

" I am." I said before Percy could say anything.

" Well, I'm past the boundary, aren't I?"

" Yes, could we just start over? My name is Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena."

" Heatry. My name is a joke. All my father's doing. I blame him."

" Who is you god parent?" I asked.

" Apollo," he replied. " My father name me Heatry. So that he could call me his little heat in a cold room. Also it is pronounced he-tree. You don't hear the a but you can just call me Heat."

" Well, it's not that bad."

" Anyway, What do I do with this lumber?"

" Right over here, Heat." Percy said.

Heat placed the lumber down and the campers swarmed over the lumber grabbing pieces for their project. When they were done there was nothing left. Heat just stared at where it had been.

" I guess y'all will need a new shipment?" he asked and everyone turned to look at him and nodded.

" Thanks for coming, Heat." Percy told him.

" Anytime, Percy and I got work to do so see ya around."

Heat got in his truck and drove off leaving a dust trail behind. Before Annabeth asked, " How do you know him, Percy?"

"Well, He was a bit older than most and I recruited him. However, he left a couple of years later to live out his life."

" Oh," was all I could come up with before looking at the workers just standing there with their prized lumber. " Get to work. This project won't be getting done any faster."

Percy went to the water fountain to get a drink and heal any scrapes. When he was done he sat down. His hair now falling in his eyes.

"Hey, mister! You need to be working." I told him.

" I'm on break." He replied.

"Good. Then help me plan this." I told him holding plans for the house we wanted to build.

" You're the architect. I just have a few things I need on the house. You include those I'll be happy."

" And those things would be?" I asked afraid of what I might hear.

" 1. A swimming pool. 2. Lots of open air, I don't want to be scrunched in a tiny house. & 3. A good view of the ocean and where you smell it."

" Okay." I told him looking at the plans. " We can work those things in."

" Good. Now, if you'll excuse me." He said pointing to the repairs. " I am needed."

I smiled. " Go get 'em tiger." He just laughed.

I watched him leave sadly before looking back at our plans. It was a two story mansion with a huge living room, a good sized kitchen, 3 bathrooms,5 bedrooms, 2 studies, a nice dining room, and just an extra room for anything else. I loved it. It had the ocean in the back and a pool in the front.

I couldn't wait for it to be built and hopefully by then Percy would have proposed because I can't see myself with anybody else.

" Annabeth?" asked a male voice and was surprised to see one of my brothers.

" Yes, Malcolm?"

Everybody looked at me. " We finished."

" You finished?" I repeated but it came out a question.

" Yes," he told me looking at his feet. " We finished every everything except for the houses for those who want to live here but no one has submitted a plan for one yet but even then we couldn't begin to build it plus we are out of supplies to build."

" Okay. Thanks." I told him before projecting my voice to the quiet crowd. "Thank you, everyone! We could not have done this without every one of y'alls help! There is much to celebrate! So, put up the banners and grab your nice clothes cause we're throwing a party tonight!" Right after I finished the crowd erupted in cheers.
