Chapter 2: The Death of Percy Jackson

Jason's POV

Being dead sucks. I know, I know, I sound like Captain Obvious, but seriously though, it really sucks. So many demigods died in the battle, including, like, all of my friends except Percy. I feel bad for the guy. He survived, and we all died. It's like he was cursed to be haunted by all of us in his memories. I was just hanging around in Elysium with the rest of the Seven, Nico, Reyna, some others and some dead people from the Second Titan War when a bright light engulfed us all. Everyone started yelling as the ball of light rose upwards. I pulled out my gladius, now a ghost just like me, and started to hack away at the wall, trying to break it. Suddenly, the light shined even brighter. Everyone shielded their eyes as we rose even higher. When the light stopped and we opened our eyes, we saw thirteen shocked gods and goddesses staring at us.

Poseidon's POV

I was up on Olympus in a meeting. We were just talking about how we could fix the damage from the war. Zeus was arguing with Athena when a sudden bright light appeared in the middle of the throne room. I immediately grabbed my trident and pointed it at the light, just in case if it was bad. The light disappeared and I was shocked when I saw what was inside. The dead demigods of the last two wars were here, in the flesh. They were not dead ghosts, but real flesh and blood, alive once more. "Hey…" said some kid with an eye patch. "We're alive again!" Zeus shot up from his throne at the sight of all the dead demigods in his throne room.

"HADES!" he roared. Almost automatically, Hades appeared in the throne room, black mist swirling around him.

"Brother!" he yelled. "Demigod souls from Elysium have- oh, they're right here." he said.

"Hades, why did you do this? You know you can't do this." said Zeus.

"I didn't brother. I swear it on the River Styx." replied Hades. Thunder boomed as the oath was made.

"Then if you didn't do it, who did?" asked Athena. Once again, another bright light appeared in the throne room. It then dissipated to reveal the Fates. The demigods bowed and so did we.

"What is it, Fates?" Zeus asked them.

"We are here to tell you why all of your children are here." said the first one. "Percy Jackson took an offer given by us to him." said the second one.

"He sacrificed his soul to the void to revive all of these demigods."

"Wait, what?! He sacrificed his soul to the void?!" said Annabeth.

"Yes, yes he did. He wanted to bring you all back. He felt like he was responsible for all your deaths, so he did it." Some of us started to cry a little. I was teary-eyed as well. My son had sacrificed his own life and future to save them all.

"He did leave you a letter for all of you to read. I believe he wanted everyone to listen in. I'll grab his parents. My sisters will teleport you to Camp Demigod and get everyone ready."

One of the Fates grabbed Percy's parents and got them into Camp Demigod. Both Greeks and Romans crowded into the amphitheater, anxiously waiting for the final words of one of the greatest heroes ever to live. Chiron stepped up onto the stage. "Hello everybody. Today, we have gathered to listen to the words of one of the greatest heroes to ever live." Chiron pulled the letter out of the envelope and unfolded it. It was actually pretty long, so long that it was touching the ground. "My son worked hard on this." I thought. "Now, let's all listen to the final words of Percy Jackson."

Annabeth's POV

Everyone was silent as we all waited for Chiron to start Percy's letter.

Dear Camp Demigod, revived friends, gods and my mom and dad,

Hey everybody. I'm sorry this had to happen to us, many of you dying and then me dying to revive all of you but it was for the best. I've caused all your deaths. It's my fault you all died. If I was stronger, I could have saved you all. But I didn't. I hope none of you blame me for anything. I want to at least die on a clear conscience. I guess by now I should probably stop and cut to the chase. I want to say something to you all, so let's start from the top and make it to the end.

Bianca, I'm sorry about that sacrifice you made for the quest in Hephaestus's junkyard. I would have taken your place, but it looks like I was destined for greater things. Sorry for that.

Zoe, I know you didn't want to tell anyone about your parentage because you thought you wouldn't be accepted, and yet it got you killed. Just remember that you won't need to keep too many secrets anymore.

Lee, you did well in that battle for Camp Half-Blood. I could have saved you, but I couldn't. Maybe if I had tried to learn archery or even had threw my sword, I could have saved you. I'm sorry for not trying.

Ethan, you changed that day when you died. You tried to kill Kronos, but died in the process. I'm happy to tell you that Nemesis indeed does have her own cabin now. I kept my promise to you and Luke. Sorry that you died that day. I wished that you would be the first to see your new cabin built.

Luke, because of your sacrifice, the Greek and Roman world lived to see another day. I thank you for that. You were once evil, but you changed for the better. You are a hero, no matter what people say.

Thalia, you were one of the earlier friends that I had when I had my quests. You know, speaking of the quests, I didn't get a dam t-shirt yet. Thanks for being there for me, and for your sacrifice in the war.

Will, dude, you're a cool guy. You help many people, and you saved my Wise Girl in the Battle of Manhattan. You save so many people, and yet I couldn't save you. I'm sorry for that, Thanks you for your sacrifice and your healing abilities.

Connor and Travis, you guys were the prankster gangsters of the camp. You did get people really annoyed at you guys, but it did light up people's days sometimes. You did well destroying those catapults that were bent on destroying Camp Half-Blood, and I thank you for that so we could delay them, which allowed the Athena Parthenos to bring peace. Thanks.

Beckendorf, I'm sorry that your sacrifice was needed to blow up the Princess Andromeda. It could have been me, but you insisted on it. Thank you for that. You'll always be a hero.

Silena, you were a traitor all along just like Luke, but just like him and Ethan, you redeemed yourself. Bringing the Ares cabin back and fighting the drakon was very brave, and I thank you for what you did that day because without that, we would have been defeated.

Clarisse, let's make bygones be bygones. I just want to say that I think that we've been better friends after all this time. I did say that I wanted to leave this world behind on a clear conscience. Thanks for the sacrifice you made in the wars.

Nico, you were like a little brother to me. You and Reyna's death in the quest to bring the Athena Parthenos back to camp hit me hard. I thank you for bringing peace between the two camps and for your sacrifice.

Reyna, you were a good friend. With almost no friends when I lost my memory and came to Camp Jupiter, you were one of the first people who greeted me. When I became praetor, it helped out that you supported me as well. Thank you for that and your sacrifice for my camp and yours.

Leo, I like you man. We were both funny and good friends. Thanks for being my friend and for helping out Camp Half-Blood while I was gone. I also thank you for your final sacrifice of the Argo II, Festus and yourself. Killing Gaea is no easy feat after all.

Piper, because of you and Jason, you distracted Gaea so that Leo could finally defeat that dirt princess, as Leo would call her. You also helped out Annabeth when I disappeared. Thanks for comforting my Wise Girl for me while I was gone, and thank you for the sacrifice.

Jason, we were best buds. After our kinda shaky bromance back in New Rome, we became great friends, partners in combat and much more. Thank you for that and your sacrifice back at camp. You did well.

Frank, you were a great friend and relative. I was always proud to have you as a relative. You were also one of three friends that I quickly made in New Rome. I promise you that your sacrifice in the battle wasn't for nothing. Hail you, fellow praetor.

Hazel, I liked you. You were nice to me when I came to Camp Jupiter, and you also knew Nico. Now that's an added bonus. You were a goods friend as well in New Rome, and you also got Arion. (I swear, that horse mouth needs to be washed out with soap) Thank you for everything you have done and your sacrifice in defeating Gaea and her army.

Annabeth, you are my everything, my Wise Girl and my girlfriend. I never wanted you to sacrifice yourself. I would have taken that spear, and yet you did. I guess that shows that we truly love each other. I just want you to know that I was going to propose to you after the war. Thanks for everything.

Dad, you were a great father. I love you , and you love me. I was meant to be your son, but I guess my personal loyalty flaw caught up to me and it was never supposed to be for me to live. See you in another lifetime, another life.

Mom, Paul, you were the other family that was my everything. You took care of me for all those years before I left for Camp Half-Blood and other journeys. Thank you for everything, Mom, Dad.

I guess this is the end of the line for me everybody. All of you have happy lives and thanks for being there for me.

Perseus (Percy) Achilles Jackson

Everyone then started to cry. Some cried a lot and some cried a little, but still a good amount for the late saviour of Olympus, Percy Jackson.
