Thank you for the reviews, they made my day! I'm sorry this chapter is so short.

"Brother, why did you do it?"

"I had to prevent another war! Poseidon, I am sorry that it has come to this, but if we had not allied ourselves with them we would be destroyed."

"That is just like you, Zeus, to put yourself before our children."

"When you realize I did the right thing I will let you go. Until then..." Zeus backed out of the dark room and slid the door in place. The sea god was consumed in darkness. He banged on the walls but they wouldn't budge. They were made to hold a god.

LINEBREAK

For once in just about forever the dining pavilion was silent. Campers sat, eyes downcast, at their tables with untouched food. How could they eat knowing it's their fault she's dead? A few of them glanced around and noticed all the Big Three tables were empty. They didn't expect Percy to be there, but where were Thalia and Nico?

"Campers," Chiron said. "We will burn the shroud of Annabeth Chase tonight. I expect you all in the amphitheater right after dinner." No one spoke. Dinner was finished. All the campers followed Chiron to the fire, which burned black. Annabeth's shroud was gray with an owl embroidered on it. Clarisse spoke first.

"Annabeth was an amazing fighter, and I'm sorry I never told her. She was brave and a-a good friend."

Next was Malcom, who was crying as he talked. "She was the best sister in the world and I loved her. She went through some tough times but in the end was worthy of calling herself a daughter of Athena."

Multiple speeches were made. Chiron's was the last.

"I loved Annabeth like a daughter, and I wish she was still here. I hope Zeus knows what he did, gods, I hope we all know what we did."

Malcom lit the shroud and the fire roared. Everyone was crying. They all felt guilty and responsible for her death. They were responsible. No one noticed the three figures perched up in the trees. No one heard one of those figures cry his heart out.
