3rd Percy POV

Percy woke up to the sound of the breakfast horn echoing through his cabin as well as the bright sunshine leaking in through the closed blinds. Damn last night was amazing, he thought, and even though he only got a few hours of sleep, he was well rested and felt as if he could take on all of Gaea's giants.

"I better get ready" Percy muttered and proceeded to get dressed and go to the bathroom. Soon he left cabin number three wearing his orange CHB shirt, a pair of pants his Mum had gotten him and his camp necklace with beads commemorating all of his summers and adventures at Camp Half-Blood. The light breeze that swept through the camp ruffled his raven-black hair and led him towards the dining pavilion.

Once he got seated at his table, Chiron started his announcements; "The Romans will be departing today and returning to Camp Jupiter, and the Hunters will arrive after sunset. Also, we shall hold our annual capture the flag game against the Hunters tomorrow evening and I hope to see us victorious for once". Some campers snickered and groaned at Chiron's expectations.

Percy POV

The rest of breakfast went by like a flash; I got a huge stack of blue pancakes drowned in maple syrup, a handful of hash-browns, and a glass of blue cherry-coke. I sacrificed the best portion of my food to my father and then went back to savour my breakfast.

"Hey, Percy! Over here!" called Jason. "All right one sec" I replied. As I made my way over to the front of cabin one, I saw Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel, Annabeth, and Leo chatting amongst themselves and once I got to them they turned and greeted me with smiles plastered all over their faces and excitement radiating off of them. "Percy! We get our palaces today!" Confused, I stared at them and asked, "How can your palaces be finished when you have only been gods for less than a day?". "Duh, magic Seaweed brain." Annabeth replied, and I responded in the only way I knew how, "Oh". After that awkward exchange, they flashed to Olympus along with Annabeth to their new palaces.

Once they had left, I felt a strange tingling feeling in my gut, as if someone was watching me but I shrugged it off. Now I know my gut feeling is almost never wrong and has saved my life on multiple occasions… but this time feels… different.

As I made my way to the arena, I couldn't help but wonder what my life would be like if I had accepted godhood. Would I still be with Annabeth? What would I be the god of? Would I become an Olympian? My thoughts were interrupted by a blinding flash and after the light had died down, Hermes stood before me with a grin on his face. "Hey Hermes, what's up?" I asked. "Lord Zeus and the council have a… proposition for you." He replied cryptically. I tried to ask what it was about but he merely waved off my questions and before I could ask him again I was transported to the middle of the throne room standing by the roaring hearth. I quickly bowed to Zeus and he motioned for me to stand. As he did this I noticed we were alone, not even Hermes was here. It would be a lie if I said I wasn't feeling nervous. "Now I assume you wondering why we have summoned you here today. Quite simply, we have a proposition for you. Tomorrow, we will grant you godhood and a place on our council as you have grown too powerful and are too much of an asset to Olympus to remain mortal. Before you leave, it would be wise to discuss this matter with Annabeth and see if she chooses to use her wish. That is all." Zeus boomed and I was promptly flashed back to my cabin.

So many questions were rushing through my mind at light speed, the biggest one being what will Annabeth say? Will she use her wish to join me as a god on Olympus? My head started to throb with all these questions and I decided to go for a swim at the beach to try and clear my head.

3rd Person POV

The sky was a deep and rich shade of orange with hues of pink and red scattered throughout; it seemed as though Apollo was as fond as flashy exits as his father was. The last lights of Apollo illuminated the clifftop overlooking the bright blue waters of the ocean, while a light sea breeze lazily made its way inland, bringing with it a refreshing spray of salt water.

Percy inhaled the intoxicating breeze and sighed. To Percy, the sunset was the most beautiful time of the day, partly because he was never a morning person, but mainly because of the brilliant patterns of light that were always strewn across the sky.

He had not yet had a chance to tell Annabeth what had happened on Olympus, but for some reason whenever he thought about her reaction he got butterflies in his stomach. 'Of course she would become a god and stay by my side for the rest of eternity!' Percy thought.

Suddenly a thin layer of mist descended upon the clifftop but seemed to dissipate as quickly as it arrived, so Percy thought nothing of it. He then got another strange feeling in his gut, but when he turned around all he could see was the lush forest mighty pine trees. Feeling satisfied everything was as it should be, Percy turned back to the ocean and closed his eyes, deep in thought.

Little did Percy know, a figure moved in the shadows of the pine trees, making their way to him. Just as the unknown figure reached Percy, the dinner horn echoed throughout the forest and he started to turn.
