One Year Later
Olympus, Hestia's POV:
A lot has changed since Perseus Jackson left. One of those tigs is that the Roman and Greek camps are now united. Another is that some gods became even more dimwitted. Right now, a ll the gods and cabin counselors were on Olympus for an important meeting. Most of them seemed to have forgotten Perseus Jackson, and it sickens me. If it hadn't had been for the Ancient Laws, I would have spoken to him. Hermes and Apollo would have as well. I tried to make sure he was safe, and at least try to give him my blessing, but I cannot find him. Somebody is hiding him from us.
"Kronos is rising again. We expect the battle to be around the same time period as last time. Problem is, he made an alliance with Gaea." Zeus boomed.
We all were shocked. It was difficult enough before, but we has Percy.
"We can't win." I spoke up.
They all stared at me.
"It will be difficult." Hermes admitted.
"But we will do it. We have Sid." Poseidon said proudly.
"If Sid is leading the demigods, we are truly doomed. We can only win with the help of Perseus Jackson." Apollo scoffed.
Most of the demigods and half of the Olympians disagreed. I noticed Hermes, Artemis, Aphrodite, Dionysus, Hades, and even Ares agreed. They were the other gods who didn't agree that Sid was a better hero on the day Percy left. Of course I agreed as well.. Poseidon looked confused.
"Perseus will still be in the war, he is still at Camp." Poseidon tried to reason.
The others, except for the ones that agreed, murmured their agreements. I shook my head sadly. I was about to respond, but Apollo did instead.
"He's GONE! He LEFT because of you all! Don't you remember?" he yelled.
He had tears rolling down his cheeks, and so did Hermes.
"He was our best friend! And he's gone! We don't know where he is! We can't find him! Somebody is hiding him from us! He could be dead!" Hermes yelled.
The others all looked shocked, and Poseidon looked like somebody just destroyed his palace.
"He's...gone? My son is...gone?" Poseidon said quietly.
I heard a voice, but it was so quiet it could have been the wind.
"He's not your son anymore." a voice called out.
I didn't recognize this voice. None of us did.
"Who goes there?" Zeus called out.
Then, there were four flashes of light, all different colors. One of them was blue-green, another was gold, another was electric blue, and the last one was all three colors. In place of the lights stood four figures, one of them with a hood on.
"Allies."
Camp Chaos, Percy's POV:
Camp Chaos is awesome. It's different than Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter. We all learn the basics of a medic for one thing, everybody knows how to fight and is a great fighter. There is a leader, and a second in command. The leader is the most powerful one and is chosen by the gods. I'm the leader. According to my dads, I'm even more powerful than they are. They gave me their full blessing about six months go, which is also when I got Hydros' full blessing, and thats when they decided that when I turn twenty-one I am going to be made a primordial. My second-in-command is Pandora, my best friend. Since I came to Camp Chaos, I've become a master of all weapons and became an even better swordsman. I also earned the title of the best swordsman in camp since I came. People don't judge you here, and campers don't bully each other here. Most importantly, the Primordials actually visit their kids frequently, it's almost a daily basis, and they have very good relationships with their kids. I have a really close relationship with my dads actually, as close a relationship with them as I had with my mom, and you can't even compare it to the relationship I had with Poseidon. There are no children of Gaea, Chaos, or Tartarus, and I'm the only child of Pontus, Ouranus, or Chronus. The Camp is designed ina similar way to Camp Half-Blood. There is one cabin per god or goddess, and the cabins all look different according to the god. For example,the Pontus cabin looks like it is made of waves, the Ouranus cabin looks like its made of clouds, and the Chronus cabin looks like a clock and actually tells time. Camp Chaos isn't actually in Toronto. The entranc is in Toronto, but Camp Chaos is actually a small island that is hidden by mist that the Olympians and Titans can't see through. The sea is a very light sea-green color, and it's always the perfect temperature. The sky is always a clear blue, and sometimes there will be clouds. It's truly beautiful. I knew that since I came to Camp Chaos, I changed a bit. I was even happier than I was at Camp Half-Blood, I felt like my dads actually cared, my muscles were a bit more defined (according to almost all the girls in camp, they were the perfect size, not too big but not too small either), and my eyes change color. Yep, I can change my eyes to whatever color I want from either sea-green, sea-green waves, electric blue with flashes of lightning, or gold. I also made quite a few friends. Some of my friends here are Anthony (Son of Aether, God of Light), Pandora (Daughter of Thalassa, Goddes of the Sea ), Sadie (Daughter of Eros, God of Love), Donovan (Son of Phusis, God of Nature), Penny (Daughter of Hydros, God of Water), James (Son of Nesoi, Goddess of Islands), (Son of Ourea, God of Mountains), and Matt (Son of Thesis, Goddess of Creation). Right now, I was on the beach with Pandora. We had just sparred, and we we're both exhausted. I liked being with Pandora. She was nice, sweet, energetic, loyal, and beautiful. She looks like a California girl from the 70's, with her perfect tan, golden-blonde hair, and ocean blue eyes. She's the only one who knows why I left Camp Half-Blood. Sure, all the Chaos Campers know I left because most of the Campers and gods forgot about me and I don't exactly like them anymore, but only Pandora knew the whole story.
"I'm going to head back, Percy. You stay and relax, okay?" she asked.
I smiled and nodded. When she was gone, I put my head down and closed my eyes. I would have called asleep of it hadn't been for a voice interrupting.
"Percy." Dad Po said.
"Hey Dad Po!" I exclaimed.
I call call my dads different names, since I have three dad's now. It was a little joke we all came up with last year. Pontus is Dad Po, Ouranus is DadO, and Chronus is Dad Chro. They either call me Percy or Perco.
"Perco we don't exactly have good news." Dad Chro murmured.
I looked at them quizzically.
"What's up?" I asked.
The only time I didn't get good news was when they told me that I had to cancel a party, so I was pretty worried right now.
"The Olympians are in trouble. Kronos and Gaea are coming back. They only won because of you. We remained neutral last time, but now we are going to help them. You have to go Percy, as do the rest of the Campers." DadO explained.
I stared at them. They weren't kidding. I didn't like Olympus or Camp, but I had to help them. I did still have some friends on the council. Hermes, Apollo, Hestia. They must have missed me.
"Ok, when do we leave?" I asked.
They looked a bit surprised, but proud I was going to help.
"Now. We are going to power-travel there. We are just going to offer our help. When they agree, we are going to come back and go to Camo Half-Blood tomorrow.." Chronus explained.
I nodded.
"Let's go." I murmured.
I put on my black hoodie and put the hood up. They nodded and we power-traveled to the throne room. If you're wondering what power-travel is, you summon the power over whatever you have (in my case water, time, and sky) and use it to travel wherever you want. Each power has a different color, and when you power-travel, there is a flash of light showing that color. Because I have control three different kind of powers, the light from when I travel is splotches of blue-green, electric blue, and gold. It takes about ten seconds to get where you need to go, but you can hear what's going on in that place. Right before you appear, if you say something, they hear you.
"He's...gone? My son is...gone?" Poseidon said quietly.
"He didn't realize I was gone?" I scoffed quietly.
Chronus, Pontus, and Ouranus had angry looks on their faces. They didn't even remember, maybe didn't even realize, I was gone. Some of them had to remember though, right? Hermes, Apollo, and Hestia must have.
"He's not your son anymore." Dad Po called out.
"Who goes there?" Zeus called out.
That was when we appeared.
"Allies." DadO said.
Zeus pointed his master bolt at us.
"What are your names! Who are you!" he yelled.
"Put that toy down before you hurt yourself, Drama Queen." I scoffed.
My dads and some of the Olympians snickered. The demigods just stared at me in shock. Zeus stood up.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Zeus thundered and shot some lightning at me.
It was a HUGE lightning bolt, one of the biggest he probably made. He looked proud of it. I waved my hand and it shot towards Zeus. It hit Zeus in the chest, and he flew through the air and hit the wall.
"Anybody else want to try and kill me? Because that was too easy." I called out.
Everybody stared at me in shock. Zeus stood up and stared at me in anger.
"Let us introduce ourselves!" DadO cut in.
Dad Po and Dad Chro nodded.
"Before we do, don't try and harm us. You'll just hurt yourselves. We come in peace to offer our alliance." Dad Chro said.
Everybody nodded, although some begrudgingly.
"I am Ouranus, Primordial of the Skies." Ouranus said with a smile.
"I am Pontus, Primordial of the Seas." Pontus stated and grinned.
"I am Chronus, Primordial of Time." Chronus said with grin that resembled the Cheshire cat.
Everybody looked shocked and stared at me in expectation.
"What? I'm not telling them who I am!" I exclaimed.
"You have to, son." DadO said.
I groaned.
"Do I really have to DadO?" I whined.
He chuckled and nodded. I groaned.
"At least let me play a little game with them first!" I exclaimed.
He sighed but nodded.
"But you have to reveal yourself to a few of them first. Choose now." DadO stated.
DadO was always the serious and down-to-business one, while Dad Po and Dad Chro were always joking. DadO was only like this when it was something serious though. Usually it wasn't up for discussion on something like this, but luckily this time it played in my favor.
"Hestia, Apollo, Hermes, Hades, Thalia Grace, Nico di Angelo, Reyna Ferus, and Rachel Elizabeth Dare." I said easily.
I would have said Tyson, but he would have let it slip. I was happy with the people I chose, they didn't take part in Hate-on-Percy day.
"How do you know Thalia, Nico, Reyna, and Rachel?"" Athena asked.
I smirked and looked at her
"I know everything." I said in a deep and ominous voice.
It caused my dads to burst out laughing.
"Why are you so much like us?" Dad Chro asked.
I looked up at them and grinned.
"Like fathers like son!" I exclaimed.
My dads chuckled and nodded.
"Well, until I reveal myself, you will call me...Master."
The looks on everybody's faces were HILARIOUS. My dads were laughing uncontrolably, they knew I did this just to piss off the Olympians. It looked like Apollo, Hermes, Hestia, Thalia, and Nico found my name of choice highly entertaining as well.
"Now, back to the alliance. You cannot win without our son. You need him. Our demigods are also much stronger than yours, so we will he's ending all our campers. How many campers are there now, son?" DadO stated.
"Fifty seven." I answered briskly.
They nodded.
"Who is the most powerful camper?" Zeus asked.
My dads chuckled.
"Why, our son of course. He's the leader of camp. He is going to become a Primordial when he is twenty-one." Dad Po explained with a proud glint in his eyes.
"There is NO WAY that wimp is that powerful! I bet you-"Sid started.
I froze him in time right there.
He actually had a hilarious look on his face. His brown hair was wild, his Earth muddy brown eyes had a crazy glint, his face was all red and his mouth looked like he was imitating a rat chewing. His eyebrows were furrowed together with one raised.
"That should shut him up!" I exclaimed.
Everybody except my dads, Hermes, Apollo, and Hestia looked shocked. Thalia and Nico looked highly entertained. Thalia poked Sid in the cheek.
"What did you do to him?" she asked.
I shrugged.
"Froze him in time."
"Well I like him better like this." Thalia said with a grin.
I laughed at that. Thalia never changes.
"Why?" Poseidon demanded.
"Because he was being an arrogant jerk and getting on my nerves. Like the old saying says, like father like son!" I exclaimed.
My dads, Thalia, and Nico started laughing again. Poseidon flushed red with anger.
"So, do you accept our help?" DadO asked once he calmed down.
Zeus nodded.
"Yes, we accept your help." Zeus growled.
"Awesome! We'll be at Camp Half-Blood tomorrow with our campers. Our son will reveal himself to the select few he chose tomorrow. Peace out, suckers!" Dad Chro yelled.
My dads power-traveled out at the same time in a flash of colors.
"Them with their flashy exits." I muttered
"Hey, aren't you going to unfreeze Sid?" Annabeth asked.
"Nope. He annoys me, and that look on his face suits him, so I'd rather not." I said and power-traveled out.
Thalia's POV:
Who ever that guy was, he was cool. I knew that said for us to call him Master to annoy the gods. I found it HIGHLY entertaining. Percy would've liked the guy too. Percy...I miss Percy. I can't believe most of the others didn't realize he was gone, even Mr. D remembered! Only a few people didn't take part in everybody claiming Sid is a better hero, and let me just say Sid is a little baby that hides behind everybody and pisses his pants at the thought of fighting one monster. The people who didn't take part were Hermes, Apollo, Hestia, Hades, Aphrodite, Artemis, Mr. D, and Ares even! From the Campers, only Nico, Rachel, Reyna, Tyson, Ella, and myself.
"You all will tell us who this boy is after he reveals himself to you." Zeus, I refuse to call him Dad, demanded.
"No." I said evenly.
"YOU WILL DO AS I SAY!" Zeus roared.
I shared a glance with the others who were chosen. They weren't planning on telling either.
"No, you don't deserve to know. I refuse. And that boy is more powerful than you, Zeus, so I would shut up." I snarled.
The others who were chosen nodded and murmured their agreements. Everybody just stared at me.
"If this is about Percy-" my dad started, but I cut him off.
"Of course it's about Percy! He was my cousin! My best friend! He PUT HIS LIFE ON THE LINE for every single one of us here! And what do most of you do? Abandon him for a COWARD! He didn't deserve that! Most of you didn't even remember he left! He LEFT because most of you BETRAYED HIM!" I yelled.
The campers and mot of the Olympians stared at me in shock and guilt. The ones who were there for Percy nodded in agreement.
"I'm sorry Percy." Poseidon murmured.
Percy's aPov:
I arrived rightAtwater my dads told the Camper we were going to Camp Half-Blood. All of them except Pandora looked excited. She looked worried and kept glancing at me. I smiled softly at her and she relaxed a little.
"The Olympians will call Percy, Master. You, and the selectfree Percy will reveal his identity to tomorrow, will call Percy, Paul. Percy, you have one week to play this little game with the Olympians. That is all." Dad Po said.
I smiled sadly at Paul. He was with my mom when the car crashed, and e died too. I as honored to be using his name. I was a bit annoyed that I had only a week to mess with the Olympians, but it was better than nothing. Everybody walked away, even my friend because they saw I wanted to be left alone, but Pandora stayed. She walked right up to me and hugged me.
"It'll be okay." she whispered.
I just nodded. Then m. Dads walked up and hugged me in turn.
"We're sorry, son." Dad Po said sadly.
"It's okay, I'll be fine." I said with fake optimism.
My dads nodded and power-traveled away. Pandora slipped her hand in mine and we walked to the beach. West down quietly and just stared at the water. Pandora was watching me, bu I was remembering.
Flashback:
I was running towards the Big House to talk to Chiron, I just found out mom and Paul had died, but I heard cheers from the Dining Pvilion. I figured I would go there first, because it was obvious the whole camp was there. I was met by a site I never wanted to see.
"You are the best hero I have ever laid my eyes on." Chiron said to Sid.
The campers and most of the Olympians cheerd in agreement. Only Thalia, Nico, Rachel, Reyna, Tyson, Ella, Artemis, Hades, Apollo, Hermes, Aphrodite, Hestia, Dionysus, and Ares disagreed openly. Sid just smirked. I felt like somebody stabbed me with a poisoned knife.
"The greatest hero I've ever seen! My favorite son!" Poseidon boasted.
Cheers were yet again the response. The same group as before looked disgusted. Somebody twisted the knife in deeper.
"The strongest and bravest guy I ever saw! Unlike Percy!" Annabeth exclaimed and kissed him deeply.
Dead. I'm dead. I come back to feel like I still have some family after my mom dies, but instead I find out they hate me. They were now screaming aout how I'm weak, a coward, and a terrible leader. I silently walk back to my cabin and took out a pen and paper.
"Hey guys, it's Percy here. I came back. Mom and Paul died, but you guys probably don't care. I saw how you guys hate me, so I won't be here anymore. For those of you who stood up for me, thank you. Don't look for me. Goodbye." I read aloud before I nodded.
I put the letter in an envelope and put it on the Bog House porch. I then walked towards the Arena and Stables, got Blackjack and Mrs. O'Leary, and left Camp.
:Flashbak End
"Percy?" Pandora asked, worry clear in her voice.
"Wha? Yeah?" I asked.
"I was worried about you."
I smiled softly.
"Thank you."
She just nodded and sat down next to me. I stared at the water for about ten more minutes, but then I had an idea. I jumped up and turned to Pandora.
"I gotta go. I'm going to reveal myself to my select people right now." I stated.
Pandora stared at me.
"You never cease to amaze me. Now go!" she exclaimed with a laugh.
I grinned, flipped my hood up again, and power-traveled back to thethrone room. Everybody was still here.
"I need to see Thalia, Nico, Racel, Reyna, Hermes, Apollo, and Hestia right now!" I said with a grin.
Zeus glared at me.
"You will not disturb my meeting again!" Zeus boomed.
I narrowed my eyes.
"If you do not let me see them right now, I will paifully castrate you by snapping my fingers." I threatened.
Soke of the olympians and my reamining friends snickered. He looked frightened.
"I don't believe you." he growled.
I smirked and snapped my fingers.
"OWWWW! OLYMPUS, WHAT IS HAPPENING?" he howled.
"I warned you." I said with a shrug.
He stared at me with wide eyes.
"Y-you CASTRATED me?" he sputtered.
I laughed and nodded.
"Yep."
Apollo and Hermes started howling ith laughter, as did Thalia and Nico.
"Now, if you would like your manhood back, let me speak to the people I chose, and you'll be a happy god again." I said with an optimistic tone.
Zeus weakly nodded, and the people I chose walked towards me. I power-traveled them to a safe place. I then clapped my hands.
"Thank you." I said with a smile and fpower-traveled to the place.
The place was Montauk, where I always went ith my mom. I noticed the grop looked confused.
"Soery, I know this is a safe place to tell you though. You have to swear on the Styx not to tell anybody who I am until I reveal myself to everybody" I said with a sheepish smile.
They swore on the Styx, and I pulled down my hood.
"Hey guys, I missed you."
AN/ Hope you liked this chapter! Please know that whatever I said about castration, I know nothing about. I know someone surgery does, courtesy of the movie Tme Travelers Wife, buta everything else was inaccurate about it. I am a 13 year old girl, not a medical professional. Well, I hope you liked this chapter!
