Hey there, sorry about the wait. Had to use the son of Poseidon's room, but never mind that back to the story...
After my break up with Annabeth, I thought things couldn't get any worse. I felt like my world had been ripped apart and nothing else could happen to it anymore. But I was so wrong. People started to like John more for some reason and hate me. But like I said before I was fine with it. Until it got out of hand. Which of course with my luck it did, very quickly. Somehow rumors started up about how I thought Annabeth wasn't good enough for me and that I had broke up with her. And then out of nowhere John had come to save her from heartbreak and sorrow, like a true hero, and had comforted her and become her boyfriend. I tried to stop the rumours and tell people that it wasn't like that, and explain that Annabeth had said she didn't want to be together with me anymore, but no one except my old friends believed me. They all thought I was trying to cover up what I did. I tried to go to Annabeth to make them understand, but she was always busy, or not there. One time I did find her, she had this dazed look in her eye like she had been hypnotized, but before I could ask her if she was alright, John came out of nowhere and pulled her away saying to me that `don't know why you're trying to talk to her after what you did'. And then I didn't see her for the rest of the week. One day it just got too much and I decided to leave and go back to my mom. I was packing up when I saw a bright flash of light. I went outside to see the Big Three, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. When all three of them looked at me at the same time I knew I was in deep trouble.
"Percy, it's good to see you again. Look at you, you've grown. But you look depressed. Is something the matter?" Poseidon asked
"Hey dad, good to see you too, and about the depressed thing well-" I started to say before I was cut off by Zeus. "Yes, yes, hello, hi, and all, but we have more important things to deal with right now." He boomed
"Yes, yes, of course brother. Now can we please get on with it?" grumbled Hades
"Alright, alright, hold your horses," said Poseidon "Now Percy, we need you for a little experiment, and don't worry at all. It won't hurt... a lot at least"
Stuttering I said "Um o-ok. What's g-going to happen?"
"Don't worry, nothing bad, I should think" said Hades "Now can we get on with it?"
"Yes, lets. HECATE!" boomed Zeus
"Sheesh, you don't have to yell so loud, you know." Hecate grumbled appearing out of nowhere
"Anyway can you do it?" Poseidon asked
"Wait, wait! Do what? What are you going to do to me?" I asked now actually scared
"Don't worry, Percy. Just look deep into my eyes and don't move" Hecate said
"Um, ok then" I mumbled and looked into her eyes. At first nothing happened and I was thinking that this was a waste of time. Suddenly, it felt like my mind was on fire. And I mean like literal fire. I could feel the heat in my mind, burning away some memories to lead to the older ones. I nearly yelled, but it ended as soon as it started. I slumped to the ground in shock.
"You went too hard on him!" Poseidon yelled while trying to help me up "Look at him he can barely stand on his feet."
"No, dad don't worry. I'm fine. But you had better start telling me what that experiment was about, like right now." I told him
Zeus decided to ignore me and went on to talk to Hecate.
"Well, is it him?" he asked
"I can't tell" said Hecate
"What! Why?" Zeus boomed
"Because his memories and his physical aspects concerning that have been locked by some sort of magic. It's an enchantment I recognize because I remember someone doing me a favour and I helped them lock up a part of themselves. They must have given it to his mother or used it on him when he was young." Hecate explained
"Will someone please tell me what in Hades is going on? I pleaded
"Don't worry son, we will explain to you the moment we understand" Poseidon reassured me
"Can we bring his mother here?" Hades asked my father
Poseidon frowned and said "I don't know. We should be able to bring her until the camp borders, but past that, no I don't think so."
"Mom? What's mom got to do with this?" I asked this desperately. If this was going to get ugly, I did not want my mom to get involved
"Who you mean me?" said a pretty little voice
I got a tremendous shock that day. My mom had somehow managed to come all the way from her apartment to the camp. And it wasn't just me; all the other gods as well were just as shocked.
"Well, I guess since you know about the heritage thing, I'd better tell you what I know." My mom said
"Would you mind, Sally?" Poseidon asked her politely
"Sure, but first for you to understand properly, I have to show you something." My mom said taking out the key that was hanging on her shirt. Then she held it perpendicular to her forehead and turned it to the right. Suddenly there was a bright flash of light. When it died down I got a bigger shock than my mom being at camp when we were talking about her being at camp. My mom had physically changed. Now she was pale white, like Hades, had raven black hair, like Hades, and the same aura of death, like Hades. What in Hades was going on?
"Mom, what happened to you" I cried
"Don't worry" she said "this is how I actually look." And to my and all the other god`s surprise she stepped past the camp boundary.
"Sally, y-y-you're a demigod?" Poseidon was almost as shocked as I was
"Ya, I hope you're not too mad at me. I'm sorry about this, dear" my mom replied with a small smile
"What is the meaning of this" Zeus boomed (as usual not getting anything that what going on) but mom just ignored him
"N-n-n-not p-p-possible. I remember you! You're the one that got the enchantment in the first place aren't you?" Hecate stuttered also shocked
"Hey Hecate, long time on see" my mom said winking at her "I must thank you later; this key has been most useful."
But it seemed no one was more shocked than Hades. He seemed to actually be frightened, or scared, or shocked; or all three at once.
"No way. It's not possible. She died in a freak accident in the underworld. She can't be alive. You're just a copy image of her. She can't be you. YOU CANT BE HER!" Hades seemed to be close to losing his mind, and his nerve.
"Who?" I asked
"Who?" Hecate asked
"Who?" Poseidon asked
"Who?" Zeus boomed (as usual)
"My daughter: Sally Jackson, daughter of me and Mary Jackson and the most powerful child of me before Nico." Hades said looking paler than I had ever seen him
My mom smiled her small, sad smile at Hades and said two words that stunned all of us and felled the great Hades, god of the underworld. "Hey dad," she said
