Hello, dear readers. I'm Percy Jackson. And I have no idea why I told you my name, cause you already knew. You also knew my story. Or at least until the end of the second war. Yea, that was kinda hard, but you'll see.

Flashback:

I was slashing my way through monsters to Gaia. I caught a monster approaching me from my back, so I spinned and caught not only that monster, but also a a empousai the was running torwards me.

When I got to Gaia, she turned to me and, without moving a finger, two earthen arms erupted from the ground. As I looked better, I saw two faces on top of those arms. Even though you could only see the faces, (well the two were gagged with earth – they must have a taste of earth in their mouthes, eew!) I could clearly recognize them. One of them was my mom, and the other one was Paul.

Crap, I thought.

"Percy Jackson. I admire your endurance and loyalty, but I sincerely want to kill you. Since I am a goddess, I now make your parents fully immortal and am gonna kill you, Kay?" Gaia asked.

Before I could do anything, the earthen hands shifted and started glowing gold. When they stopped they disappeared.

I looked at Gaia expecting to see an either smug or happy face, but in turn, I saw a stoic one, as if she was just eager to see my expression. Full of rage, I ran to Gaia and drove Riptide through her chest. But in response, Gaia shook her head and calmly said:

"Oh come on, Percy Jackson, I am literally made of earth, you can't just stab me and expect me to die", she said in a tone that clearly said 'duuuuh'.

Then frustrated, used something that I promised myself I wouldn't do. But hey, it was an emergency, so... why not? What I did was look deep within me, what made me be the Son of Poseidon. The immense power over the seas that lies in me. The same power that I used at Mount Helens. After a second, I was gagging. Then, I got the feeling that I have when I am underwater; I felt immense pressure everywhere in my body. Then I heard the sound of water running. Then I saw a current of water coming to me from all directions at incredible speed. As for the monsters, instead of drowning, they dissolved to golden dust whenever they touched the water. To my relieve, nothing happened to the campers. This went on for about a minute, before almost every monster in the field was gone. The ones that weren't were soon enough killed by the campers. We had won against the monsters, but Gaia herself wasn't sleeping yet and I was exhausted on my knees.

"Bravo, Percy Jackson. I like your efforts, but they were in vane. Everything would have gone much better for both of us if you had joined me. But well you can't stop me from killing you now", she announced.

Her hand stretched and shifted so it had the shape of a blade. She slowly walked to me, and raised the blade so it was horizontally leveled with my neck. I looked up and saw Annabeth running towards me. Gaia stretched her other arm taking the form of a branch like Groot and stabbed Annabeth. Before I could scream, Gaia quickly pushed her arm-blade against my neck.

Line Break (Flashback ends)

"Percy Jackson, Bane of Giants, Titans monsters, etcétera, etcétera, etcétera" Charon said, clearly bored. "So, you finally died. Way to go, hero of Olympus", he added sarcastically.

"Just have the drachma". I gave him a drachma and he nodded. I was at the entrance to the Underworld in DOA Studios. I must've been teleported here when I died. I now looked like a cave. Another boat slid from a tunnel to my left. I got on the boat and waited until I got to Asphodel. It was a creepy sight, and the sky was a sort of mix with dark and light red, and black. After that, the boat had left me at the end of the queue of Asphodel. Again, I waited for what felt like an eternity.

"Percy Jackson. Many titles; not gonna name them all. You helped with Gaia, killed Kronos, many Giants and several Titans. Elysium", Minos simply told me with a stoic face. "What a pity you can't be with your girlfrien–" he got cut off my me:

"What?! What do you mean I can't be with Annabeth?!" I asked surprised.

"Yeah, she got in Punishment, you didn't know?"

Before I could ask further, I found myself in front of a white house. I felt something in my hand and saw that it was some keys and a note.

Percy Jackson: Olympia Street, 21, it read. I was at the end of a steet. To my right was a park with kids playing all over the place. To my left was the rest of the street with about ten other houses next to mine.

I was walking to the door when I heard a voice.

"Percy?" I turned around and saw a familiar face looking at me as if I was a ghost, which in fact, I sort of was. I immediately recognized the face as Charles Beckendorf, once head of the Hephaestus cabin.

"Beck?" I asked surprised. Of course! Being dead might not be as boring as I thought. Now I could see him, Silena, Zoë, Bianca, and many more.

"How are you man? How did you die?", Beckendorf asked. I finished opening the door and took a step inside.

"Come in, I'll explain", I told him.

I got in the house, and it was much bigger than it looked like from the outside. To the right was the living room with a dining table, left of that a kitchen and in front of the front door stairs that led up. I went to the table and sat down. He quickly followed and I told him what had happened since he died, skipping some parts that he likely already knew. After that, I asked him:

"How do I get to Hades' palace?"

"Go out, turn right, walk about a mile, why?"

"I have to ask Hades about Annabeth", I told him.

"Why, did she die too?"

"Yes, Minos... He told me she went to the Fields of Punishment", I said trying to stay with a stoic expression.

"Ooh, that must hurt. I'll see you later, kay?" I nodded. "Well bye then". With that, he left.

I decided to explore the house later and go see my uncle now.

Following Beckendorf's directions I was at the palace after ten minutes. I stood in front of a 80 foot high black colored castle. After waiting, fury came flying.

"What brings you here demigod?", it asked with its rasping voice.

"I need to see uncle Hades", I replied annoyed. The fury looked thoughtful for a second before it flew away as the giant doors of the palace opened. As soon as I stepped in, I was teleported to Hades' throne room. It was a big dark place with dimly lit candles all over the place. In front of me was Hades' throne which was black and seemed to be made of obsidian. It had skulls and images of dead people as decoration.

"So, nephew, what brings you here?" Hades asked from his throne.

"Why is Annabeth in the Fields of Punishment?", I asked, getting straight to the point, as if reading my mind, Hades said:

"Always straight to the point, huh, nephew?"

I just kept staring at him until he sighed and said:

"Look, nephew, Annabeth was another pawn of Gaia's game. She accepted a deal. She worked for Gaia. But she never wanted to hurt you, though. That's why she got herself killed". I just stood there for a minute assimilating what my uncle just had told me. Annabeth worked for Gaia? So she betrayed me? Not only me, but whole Olympus.

But wait, a part of me said. She was being played with, Gaia manipulated her. This was the part of me that desperately wanted that Annabeth never had had bad intentions.

But she knew that she was only a pawn and did it anyway, the untrusting part of me said. I stood there thinking, I would've stood there longer if it wasn't for Hades who just flashed me to my bed in my house.

Damn, you Annabeth, you make things so difficult, was my last thought before I drifted to sleep.

A/N: So, that's Dead Quest. Since no one answered to the poll on KL, I wrote it anyway. Don't worry there is a chance that I might still update it, so... I was just messing with some ideas. If I get any positivity from you I will update more often on both stories. I am gonna put Norse pantheon and the big bad will be H... wait no spoilers. I'm sure you can figure it out. And Magnus Chase will definitely be coming. Review if you want it to be Peranca, Perzoe, or both as a threesome. That said, till next chapter.
