During Percy's funeral, there was not a single dry eye in the crowd. The demigods and other creatures gathered in the amphitheater, which was lit by torches. As leader of both Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter, he was given Greek and Roman funeral rites. He was buried in a Camp-Half-Blood t-shirt and purple Praetor robes, permanently uniting the camps with his death. The campers were invited to say a few words to pay homage the Son of Poseidon. The first one to speak was Grover.
"Percy was my best friend." he sniffled. "We went on so many adventures together, I-I know he made into Elysium."
"It was an honor to meet him. He was exactly what a demigod should be; strong, smart, and valiant." Jason said, placing his arm around a crying Piper.
"Perce helped me through a lot. He was the right demigod to be the Savior of Olympus." Thalia stated.
"After I met him, all I ever wanted was to be like him. That will never change." Frank declared.
Next to speak was Clarisse. "Prissy and I may not have always got along, but the punk could spar. He was an amazing sword-fighter."
"He was just such a good guy, he was selfless, and kind, and I don't know what we'll do without him." Hazel buried her face into Frank's shoulder
"Percy was the best big brother I ever had." Tyson sobbed.
"He showed me that having a sense of humor doesn't mean that you can't be a leader at the same time." Leo said.
"Percy's the one who introduced me to this world, I can never repay him for that." Rachel stated.
"He saved my home. He proved to me that it doesn't matter whether you're Greek or Roman, only what's inside." Reyna announced.
"I didn't know Percy too well, but he was a great friend to Leo, Jason and I. He accepted us even though he didn't know us. I admired that." said Piper, tears running down her face.
Out of the shadows appeared Nico Di Angelo. He walked over to Hazel and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Percy made me who I am today." A single tear rolled down his cheek.
"He was always a good sport about our pranks. Never got mad or anything." Connor said.
"Except, of course, when we pranked Annabeth." Travis added.
At the mention of the Daughter of Athena, the crowd started to murmur amongst itself and glance around.
"Where is she?" Jason asked.
"I haven't seen her." Thalia replied.
Chiron emerged from the back of the group. He walked to the front and stamped his hoof into the ground. The half bloods quickly silenced themselves as he began to speak. "As most of you know, Annabeth and Percy were very close. His death has been very difficult for her. Unfortunately, she could not join us tonight, but I think we all know what she would want to say to him." The campers nodded, Chiron took a deep breath and spoke again. "Perseus was arguably the most powerful demigod to stay at Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter. He was brave, loyal, and a beloved friend to many. It was my privilege to be able to train him."
After Chiron's speech, a son of Hephaestus and a son of Vulcan brought forth the body, which was laid upon a wooden vessel. Then the centaur placed a golden Drachma and piece of Denarii under the warrior's tongue, as payment for Charon to get into the Underworld. His shroud was colored a magnificent green and embroidered with a gray trident in the center.
It was then carried to the beach and positioned in the ocean, the bow facing toward the setting sun. The shroud was lit, and the ship pushed out to sea. Tsunami-like waves surrounded the boat, but never once touched it, as if Poseidon too, mourned his son, and was willing him to finally come home.
The Romans yelled, "Ave." recognizing their former Praetor.
The Greeks yelled, "Hail." They took a moment to kneel, saluting their greatest leader.
All cried for the Savior of Olympus.
So this was basically the same as the first time I posted it, just with some grammatical corrections. Please review and let me know hat you think! Thanks for reading!
