Annabeth was walking around the campus, meeting for a discussion about Percy. The same one that came up every year of December 7th, the day he left. Clarisse (she was granted immortality after doing an important quest) was yelling at Thalia. Annabeth walked in, just to see them slam the ping pong table into the wall. A piece of paper fluttered from beneath the bottom and she looked curiously. "SHUT UP." She yelled, and marched up. Picking up the piece of paper, she read the first line and paled. She walked over to Thalia and said "I can't." and gave her the paper. She walked over to the chair in the corner and sat down. Thalia read the first line, and looked at everyone surrounding her. She cleared her throat, and spoke.

"Dear Camp Half-Blood members."

"Percy here! If you guys are finding this, it is probably after I left. I just want you all to know that I don't blame any of you for what you guys did. You acted how you thought you should under the circumstances you had. I know, Seaweed Brain is using big words. Before I leave, I wrote you all a little note.

To Clarisse: I'm sorry about your spear. I didn't do it, but I feel bad for the kid who did! If it makes you feel any better, I got you another spear, electric (Of Course) and it transforms into a bead, (you can put it on your camp necklace.) Tap it 3 times, and it will appear in your hand. I'll always be your Prissy.

To Conner and Travis: If you tap your lamp 3 times, it will open up and trapdoor and show a secret lair with which I have stocked 5,237 bottles of shaving cream. I didn't trash your supplies, but I tried to get you new ones. Keep on pranking!

To Katie: There is a little greenhouse near the lake, hidden from view. It is glass, and reinforced with celestial bronze, so no monsters should be able to trash it. I would never harm your garden, nor would I dare to. Keep on planting, and fill Camp with the flowers we love so much.

To Grover: I bought you 5 all you can eat enchiladas coupon, and also a new pair of reed pipes. Straight from Apollo and passed by Dionysus for inspection. Enjoy bud! Sorry about breaking our link, I had to make sure you didn't follow me.

To Juniper: I cleared all the mud away from your tree, I didn't do it, but it's easy to think I did. I found some more dirt and worked on the camp forest for 30 days. I hope you like it. Watch Grover for me!

To Thalia: I set Artemis-grade traps all around your cabin, and hidden security cameras. Next time someone tries to paint your cabin, they will probably be too injured to move. I've said this a lot, but I didn't do it. Who in their right mind would go against the hunters? Love you, cousin. I'll always be the same kelp head."

Thalia read a few more names and gifts, and then finally read the last 3 parts of the letter.

"To Dad: It's hard to forgive you, but I know you have a right to love whoever you want to love. I hope I am worthy to still be your son, and I always will love you. We never had that great of a relationship, and I accept that. I hope you build a relationship with my siblings though. Be the dad I never had.

To Mom: I love you so so much. I know you are always watching me. You deserved such a better life than I could give you. I miss you. I hope you are happy wherever you are, and I hope you are proud of me.

To Annabeth: I love you, Wise girl. I love you for everything you are, your pride, the way you always push yourself, the little crease of your forehead and pout of your lips whenever you're thinking. If you love someone else, I'm okay with that. I can't make you love me, and I know that. I hope the guy treats you right, and I hope you love him as much as I love you. I know I have to let you go, and it hurts. But if you love him and he loves you, I can't stand in your way. I love you forever.

I'll miss you all,

Your Seaweed Brain, Percy

P.S. Don't beat yourself up over me. I hope you don't think I'm too sappy, but I found some songs I want you all to play.

She Used To Be Mine- Sara Bareilles

I'm With You- Avril Lavigne

Life After You- Daughtry

Waiting For Superman-Daughtry

Angel With A Shotgun-The Cab

This Is Gospel- Panic! At The Disco

Unsteady- X Ambassadors"

Thalia finished the letter, and looked at everyone's anguished, and tear-filled faces that matched hers. That day, they burned the shroud. The shroud of the Son Of The Sea, the one they would never forget.
