Gone
"What do you think you're doing? Just barging into the throne room unannounced and uninvited!" Zeus roared. Annabeth broke into tears, "well sir, um w-we came to
speak to lord Poseidon abou" Jason was interrupted by Zeus "You come here-" "wait my brother, what do need to speak to me about?" he asked as he transformed to
his human size " what's wrong? Why do you come with such sadness?" Annabeth ran to Poseidon and hugged him "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry" she repeated
with tears streaming down her face. Poseidon held her like a father would hug his child " Sorry for what dear child?" he looked up worry filled his heart "w-where is "
gulped down his fear "where is my son" the God asked hoping his assumption was wrong. Jason stepped forward and got on his knee bowing to the sea God "h-he d-
died saving us" Jason finally forced out Poseidon's eyes filled with tears as he stumbled back a step distraught from this bad news. "h-how did he . . ." Nico D'Angelo
stepped forward and bowed to the God with tears in his eyes, "we were overrun, there were to many for us to fight he told us to get on the ship and he'd be right
behind us but once we all got on the ship he made an earth quake and fell into Tartarus, we wanted to go in and get him but we would've all been pulled in, I- I am
so sorry my lord h-he was my best friend the only person that didn't care that I was a son of hades he was loyal and brave , and I. . . I let him fall" he broke into
tears Poseidon look at the children distraught with sorrow, " come children" he signaled them to come forward and join him and Annabeth, they all stood there in a
group hug comforting eachother. Athena and Hesphestus transformed to their human form and joined the group comforting the brave heroes. After a few minutes the
hug broke apart and Posiedon sat down to fully take in the loss of his son. "I'll make sure he makes it to Ellysium, If that will help you feel any better, he deserves it".
"thank you my brother, lord Zeus if you don't mind I'd like to go to my chambers and rest" " very well" Zeus replied "and as for you children, go back to your camp
take a break from your little quest, recuperate and comeback in 2 weeks we will discuss the situation then." The demigods picked themselves up and sauntered out of
Olympus and returned to camp Half-Blood. Explaining Percy's death to his father was hard enough they could only imagine having to explain it to the camp and even
worse, his mother.
