Chapter 1

Percy's POV

The war against the Giant Monarchy ended three weeks ago and everyone has started to rebuild and try their best to go back to their lives before the war with a few changes, like the alliance with the Romans.

For me on the other hand, numb, empty and just...lost would be the best words to describe me. When the adrenaline rush and the danger had passed, I realised just how broken and...tired I feel. We lost a lot people, not just in this war but in the three years prior as well. The wars took a toll on everyone. Me more so than the others, as I have come to realise recently.

The wars are over, but I'm still plagued by nightmares and memories of my time in Tartarus. I try to help around as much as possible, but everyone can see that I'm still a wreck. It's like I'm caught in a time loop. I want to move on but, somehow I just can't. I guess that's the reason Annabeth broke things off with me. She's already started to heal. Sure she still has nightmares and panic attacks but she doesn't freeze up for long periods of time and attack the person who tries to me shake her out of her panic attacks like I do. I didn't oppose her decision to break up because I didn't have the heart to make her suffer with me.

Dad thinks I just need to get away from the camps and find some place that I could relax. He first suggested that I stay in Atlantis with him, Tyson and Triton but decided against it for Amphitrite still has a strong dislike for me, unlike Triton who came to me a few days after the Titan war saying he wanted to apologise for treating me the way he did and get to know me better. We found out that we got along just fine and have a few common interest other than water related things. As it turns out he enjoys the performing arts, not so much performing himself but more of watching them. He has a lot responsibilities to deal with right now and has been unable to visit me and help me through my ordeal.

Instead, Dad came a few days ago to talk to Chiron so that I could leave camp. Chiron allowed it even though he is already lacking in manpower for the restoration of camp. He agrees with Dad that I need to get away from the place that serves as a constant reminder of the events that causes me pain and my night terrors.

So here I am, by Thalia's pine tree waiting for Argus to my Mom's apartment. I hope Dad and Chiron are right. I want to be able to live my life again. I want to be able to have fun and laugh freely again.


Sally's POV (Bet you weren't expecting that)

Percy's coming home today. Chiron called me saying that Percy has been affected very badly by the Giant war and hasn't been able to pick the pieces like the other campers. I'm not sure how I can help him really, I'm no psychologist after all.

So, I try my best to help him by making a lot of his favourite blue chocolate chip cookies. As I was baking, I looked at the wall full of family pictures. There in the middle was a ten-year-old Percy with a gold medal hanging around his neck. It then dawned to me that the happiest Percy had always been in the past was when he was skating. With my mind made up, I took out the finished batch of cookies, switched off the oven and got ready to leave. I texted Argus to head over to the Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers instead. My son needs to remember that he has a life and dreams outside of camp and quests and going getting him to skate again is the first step I can take to help him heal.
