This story is going to take place post-TLO and will include some but not all HoO characters. I'm starting this as something to take up free time while I figure out the plot for my other stories and where they were going to go if I even keep them at all. This story is going to be an unplotted scramble of ideas that I am going to keep going. I wrote a lot of shitty writing when I was younger and still probably do but who cares. The saying goes, "write what you want to read but has yet to be written," or something of that sense. Without further adieu, welcome to my story.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but characters I wrote myself. Rick does it all.

Percy Pov

It's just another day in the life of a demigod. Well, maybe not if you count the fact that I'm one of the most famous in the last few hundred years, but it's not what I want or care. I don't need fame or any of that. If that is what I wished to have, I would've accepted their offer and become a god. It's not like being a god isn't a good thing; it just isn't my thing. I like living with the ones that I love, I get to see Annabeth every day as soon as she finishes working on repairing Olympus from Kronos, or should it be considered Luke. Anyways she is three weeks into her repairs of Olympus, and I get to see her every day when she gets back. It is a good life. My mother and step-father are on their way to having a child, a sister I hope. Being a demigod, I will get to see her, although not as much as I would like to since she is a mortal child and I do not want to bring monsters around her for no reason. Life seemed like it was going to work out; it was all perfect.

I was brought out of my thoughts by something, or someone, touching my shoulder. I looked up to see Annabeth and my face immediately shot into a smile. I loved seeing her at the end of the day. I had been sitting on the beach and lost myself in my thoughts, due to the calmness of the waves. While I was smiling, she wasn't. She had this look in her eyes that made me uneasy; it wasn't one I had seen before.

"Can we talk?" She asked so simply and with such a dry tone.

I honestly did not want to talk to her at the moment. I did not like the way she was looking at me nor did I like the tone of voice she was portraying.

However she was my wise girl, she was probably going to tell me that I need to start preparing for my future and looking at colleges, so we can work together to progress in life.

I did not know how wrong I was.

"Sure," I simply answered.

"Percy, they love my ideas and how everything is coming together on Olympus. They love some innovations that I am bringing to the designs, a mix of modern and new. My mom thinks that I have a genius for this type of stuff. I think this is something I'm great at doing. I think my mom is proud of me.." She started to trail off as she said the last words.

I always knew she proud of her intellect and her abilities but to have her mom give her affirmation of work she was building was one thing she could never have expected. Not many demigods get the chance to work with their parents in a setting that is out for everyone to see.

"That's great Annabeth. I always knew you were made to build things that would last thousands of years. If all of this is going so well, why do you look so down? From what I am hearing, this is your dream come true."

I am confused as to why she is so sad from all of this that she isn't excited. We should be out celebrating. She is building things that will last a lifetime, no grand building, that will last lifetimes. I tried to look her in the eyes, but she just stared at the ground or as far as she could into the ocean, anywhere but towards me.

"That's the thing Percy, my dream is coming true. Those temples, those gardens, everything I am up there building will last longer than any one human life, and everyone up there is loving them." She stated before continuing, "I am getting more praise than I ever imagined and from people, I would never have interacted with before this task. Percy this is something that I can do for the rest of my life. Zeus likes the designs that much."

Okay I was getting some really weird vibes from her right now. Did this sound like her normally? No, it was starting to sound like her hubris was taking over, sort of like the praise is getting to her.

"You're popular up there, huh?" I asked her softly as my voice seemed to lose all excitement for her at a rapid pace. What is all this she is saying mean? Why is she saying this now?

"I'm sorry," She said as she looked deeper into the sand. "I really am."

I could hear her voice break with every word. I really didn't want to know why she was sorry.

"For what," I asked not really wanting to know the answer.

She looked up from the sand and back out to the sea. I moved forward a bit to see the science reflect in her grey eyes. They were dreamy to me for sure. The eyes that kept me steady as I bathed in the river Styx, helped me keep my nerve as I fought monsters and beings no one could imagine, but most of all the eyes of the girl I wanted to be with above all else.

Again, lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice she pulled out the dagger she used since the moment I met her and was holding it in one of her hands. She was skilled with it, of course, I knew that but what does that have to do with her and to be sorry. She moved it towards her other hand in slow motion, my eyes getting wide as I was about to reach out to stop her.

"This," was the one word she uttered as she brought it against her skin and from it, a small line of ichor started to flow down. It fell out of her hand and into a little puddle below her hand.

Wait, ichor. The blood of not humans, or demigods. The blood of gods and immortals. She couldn't; she wouldn't, she didn't. I was trying to think of ways to explain what I knew had to be some mistake.

"Annabeth, why is ichor coming out of your hand?" I asked as I started to back away from where I was sitting.

"Percy, I'm sorry. They really like my designs, like really like them. They said I have a lot of potentials if I just had more time to study and get familiar with all the different artistic styles, everything I've always wanted to put on a silver platter before me. Not only would I be able to make and design structures that would stand for millennia, but I would also get to see them appreciated for millennia as well. It was too good to pass up when they offered me a position to be the immortal architect of Olympus. I said "yes" without even thinking. I happened so fast."

Annabeth wasn't a mortal anymore.

We couldn't be together, well we could, but I would die, and she would live forever. For the rest of her immortal life, she would create building after building for Olympus, and I would grow old day by day. I turned down being a god to be with her, and she took immortality in a split second to see her building be appreciated.

My heart hurt. So this is what heartbreak feels like? I cannot believe people go through this all the time. I didn't even know what to think. My wise girl gave up on us.

I kept crawling backward looking at her in shock, hoping this was just a sick joke and she was kidding. I wanted cameras to jump out of anywhere so bad, but they weren't coming.

"Percy, this is goodbye." She said as she started to get up and walk away before turning around and stepping closer to me. I couldn't move, when she said the word goodbye my whole body froze. I just got her, and she was going to leave me for some buildings.

She closed the gap between them and leaned down right in front of his face. Looking into his eyes with her eyes that right now seems a dark a gloomy grey, sort of like a fog that clouded her eyes. She leaned in closing the gap and placed a soft kiss on his left cheek. With that, she turned around again and walked away for good this time.

Annabeth did what? She became immortal when I stayed.

Not knowing what to do or say I laid back and closed my eyes. Did I want to run away, should I go and ask for immortality again, should I live out my days as a demigod and wait for the next major power to attack? Honestly, I don't know what to do or how to react. The girl I gave up the chance of everything to get, walked out of my life. In an instant, my life went from set to unknown.

I was still laying with my eyes closed as the time just flew by. First, it was minutes, but they soon switched to hours. I even heard the dinner horn but didn't move an inch as I was still in shock from what Annabeth had told me. I didn't even notice the footsteps come up from behind me. Then I heard her speak.

"Percy, there is still much you are needed for, another war is coming, and as our strongest demigod, you have an important role to play. There is somewhere you must go, but first there is someone you must meet." I heard from a voice vaguely familiar.

I opened my eyes slowly. I knew it was from a goddess. I just couldn't put my finger on which one. As my vision came back to me and I started to make out her figure from the dim light of the setting sun. I saw her and paled.

It was Hera. Queen of the gods.

Shit.

Yeah, so I had no idea where this is going to go yet. Who knows. Some mix of my own ideas with HoO. I'll start on chapter 2 now I guess.
