Percy POV
Breathing hard I brushed my long black hair out of my face. I had defeated all of the monster that had attacked me, Riptide hung down to the floor and my shouldars drooped. Tears streamed down my face. Why do I fight? No one cares for me. Not one person has came looking for me after I left. I should just let the monsters win. Maybe Hades will welcome more then anyone else. For 3 years I have hoped that anyone would try to find me. I left clues of my passing. But never did one person coome. This is the end of my life.
"Percy Jackson." A voice thundered from behind me. Jumping from shock I whirled around to find a tall man with a swirling black cape. His eyes were made of every colour in the world, and his cloak had the stars of every universe on it. Underneath the cape was midnight black armour.
"I am Chaos, creater of the universe and the Lord over all. You have lost all will to live. Come with me and I can give you a second chance for life. I can give you a new reason to live. If you join me, you will be the immortal commander of my army." Chaos said softly.
"Why would you want me. After all I'm worthless in everyone's eyes. Nothing I do is good enough." Percy said bitterly.
"Because you have proven yourself. The only people in my are army are the people who where forgotten. The people who were cast aside, never thought of as heroes. Though in truth, they are the people who deserve the titles of heroes. " He thundered. I could either die or find a new reason to live. If I died then I would have to deal with Hades and people trying to call me back from the dead. If I go with Chaos then no one will know where I have gone. Slowly I smiled and my eyes lit up again. Chaos took my smile as a yes and was about to snap his fingers. Then he winced as if remembering something.
"Ah right sorry but I forgot to tell you that you will have to leave behind Riptide, and your Camp-Half Blood necklace, you can't have a new life and still have ties to your old life." Chaos said. I ripped off my necklace and threw it and Riptide on the ground. Chaos was right, anyway they would only remind me of the pain Earth caused me. Chaos snapped his fingers and a balck portal appeared, without a second thought, I stepped into it.
1 Month Later- Earth
Annabeth POV
Ms. O'Leary bounded ahead. Maybe she had found a trace of Percy. Chiron sent me on this quest. I can't believe that I have to do this. I don't care about the seaweed brain, but of course, as Chiron said, 'We have to make sure he is alive becuase he his a demi-god. If he is alive then we will have to keep tabs on him to make sure he doesn't go to the bad side'. Yeah yeah I get it. But this quest is taking forever, I've found signs of Percy, but they are all over 1 months old. Not realizing that Ms.O'Leary had stopped I ran into a rurry backside. Staggering around her I came aross a pen and a necklace. Wait a second, that Riptide and Percy's camp beads. Why would he leave his pen behind? Unless... Maybe Percy died?
"Where did Percy go after this? Can you pick up his trail?" I asked Ms. O'Leary, "Find Percy girl, find Percy." But Ms.O'Leary just looked at me mournfully. She gave a half-hearted sniff around then went and sat two metres over from Percy's things. Slowly I stood up and picked up Riptide and the necklace, getting onto Ms. O'Leary we shadow-traveled back to camp.
"My quest is over. I found these in a clearing. Ms. O'Leary couldn't pick up a scent after this. Percy has to de dead." I annonced to the kids at Camp and Chiron. Dismounting I handing Percy's things to Chiron and heading over to where Eli was.
