Percy's POV

Percy and Annabeth ran past the cabins, laughing as they raced eachother to the lake. It had almost been a month since the war had ended, and Camp Half-Blood was slowly rebuilding with the help of the demigods and Camp Jupiter. The cabins were almost fully rebuilt, while the big house was still under repair. But now, as Percy and Annabeth ran to the lake, Percy let all of those thoughts out of his mind. For once, they finally got a chance to take a day to relax, and act like normal people before they had to get back to work.
They skidded to a stop at the edge of the lake, and joined Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Leo, Calypso, Nico, and Will. As they waited for the sun to set, the group sat down and talked. "So what do you think of the new Athena Cabin?" Annabeth asked proudly. "It's amazing!" Piper gushed. "I love what you did with the owl, and how you made into a ringer!"
Last month, after the war, Annabeth had promptly began rebuilding the cabins with the help of the Hephaestus cabin. On the Athena cabin, she had turned the carved owl into some sort of doorbell, so that, much to the dismay Conner and Travis Stoll, if you ever came close to the cabin, the owl would activate a small bell inside. Annabeth began dreamily talking about all the new architectural plans she had for the Camp and Olympus. Percy tuned her out, only listening if she said something about the Poseidon Cabin, which was very rarely, as she was mostly talking about the other cabins.
Percy jolted back to reality at the sound of an explosion. He drew Riptide, then remembered what was happening. He sat back down with the others, and watched as the Hephaestus cabin launched multiple fireworks into the air. The fireworks exploaded in such quick succession that they played out scenes from ancient history. They saw Hercules batteling the Nemean Lion. Out of the corner of his eye, Percy could see Piper with a disgusted look on her face. There was Theseus with the Minotaur, another bad memory, Perseus slaying Medusa, and Achilles being dipped in the River Styx. Then, the scenes shifted to more recent events. Percy recovering the lost Thunder Bolt, Thalia turning human again, the battle with Kronos, the fight at the Wolf House, the battle with the Giants at Camp Jupiter, and the recent destruction of Gaea.
Percy snuggled closer to Annabeth, as a brilliant deep blue firework exploaded in the sky. The firework hung in the air, berfore it started to move, swirling into a vortex. The demigods of Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood looked on in awe as five figures fell from the vortex. The vortex disappeared, and the five kids hit the ground. Percy rushed over, Riptide drawn, and carefully turned him over. The light from the setting sun illuminated the boy's shaved head, and his arrow tattoo.
