Percy POV
It has been 6 months since I found out Annabeth was cheating on me and I have been wandering around helping demigods find Camp Half-Blood and fighting monsters. Now that I don't have the protection of the barriers of camp it seems like every monster is out to get me. I have fought the Minotaur, again, the hydra, and many of the Laistrygonians, dracaenas, and others.
I stay in New York for the most part, occasionally going out of state for a little while, but always returning. Once every week or so I visit my mom and Paul so they know I am still alive.
After 6 months I decide to visit camp to see how things were there. When I got to the top of the hill I couldn't see anyone like you normally could, but heard chanting. I go down to investigate and hear that it is coming from the arena.
As I got closer I began to make out what they were chanting. "Thomas! Thomas!" I go to the entrance to see who it was and found an Ares kid being led in front of everyone. Apparently he had just completed a quest and was returning victoriously. I don't know what he had done but apparently everyone loved it.
He started speaking, something I never did because I am not egotistical. It wasn't long and it broke my heart. "I want to thank my girlfriend, Annabeth for helping me with my quest, and I want to ask her something." Thomas said. Everyone pushed her up in front, and he got on one knee and asked her to marry him in front of everyone. She blushed and said yes as she jumped on him and smothered him in kisses while everyone cheered them on.
After that I headed to my mom and Paul's house to tell them I was leaving forever. As I got to their house I heard sirens and saw some firetrucks. I saw my parents' house blown up. A fire man came up to me and asked me who I was and I said I was their son. He told me he was sorry but somehow the water pipes got closed up and pressure built up and eventually exploded killing them instantly.
I knew who could have done it, one of the old gods of the sea out for revenge against my father. I looked around and saw an old man who looked like Santa walking away. "Nereus!" I shouted not caring who would hear me. When he turned and saw me his eyes widened and then he took off running. I knew he would run to the water as it would allow him to escape, but I was faster so I caught up to him and knocked him down. I dragged him to an alley and stabbed him with Riptide and he disintegrated into dust. After that I walked away knowing what I had to do.
I walked to the Empire State Building and asked the bell man for the key to the 600th floor. "There is no suc-" he started to say. "Cut the crap and give me the key you know who I am," I said showing Riptide and pointing it at him. He paled and gave me the key. I got in the elevator and went up. Once I got to the top it opened and I could see all the rebuilding that Annabeth had done. I was even more saddened by that and made my way straight to the throne room. I went in front of Zeus and kneeled not saying anything just bowing my head waiting for him to notice me.
Finally after a long time, Athena noticed me, and said, "Yes Percy? Can we help you?" "Yes, Zeus I would like to check in that request that you gave me a while ago." "Yes? What is it?" Zeus asked. "I want to die."
