"Well that was a little disappointing."

Keyx turned around. A girl appeared from the trees. She had spikey black hair and electric blue eyes and Keyx recognized her. "You're Thalia."

The girl seemed taken aback that he knew her and she peered closer at his face. "How do you know my name?"

Keyx grinned, "because my mom is Annabeth."

Thalia raised an eyebrow. "So, Annabeth is your mom…who's your dad? Wait, don't answer…I think I know." She closed her eyes, "it's a shame you never got to know him."

Julian stepped forward, "you knew Percy Jackson?"

Thalia glanced over at Julian with a frown. "With your looks you must be a son of Apollo."

Julian grimaced and shook his head, "close…I'm his grandson. My dad is Will-" she spun around to stare at Juliet who stepped back. She grinned, "then you must take after Nico. How is the death-breath?"

Keyx snorted with Julian while Juliet frowned. "That's not a very nice name."

Thalia smirked, "Nico doesn't scare me." She turned and waved her hand, "come on. You must be the help, so you can come to our camp."

She led them a little further into the woods where a mini campsite was set up. There were silver tents and white wolves and Keyx swallowed when he felt plenty of angry gazes on his person. Julian was the same way and crept closer to Keyx, "damn! I don't think we're welcome here."

A twelve year old auburn haired girl came out of the biggest tent, "Thalia. What's this? What happened with Pontus?"

Thalia bowed her head, "he was already gone when I arrived. These demi-gods are the help from Olympia."

Juliet bowed, "good afternoon my lady. My name is Juliet Di'Angelo." She waved her arm to Julian, "this is my twin brother Julian Di'Angelo and the one beside him is Keyx Jackson."

Keyx swallowed when bright silver eyes stared at him longer then the others. She narrowed her eyes, "your father was a good man. It is a shame what happened to him. Thalia, show these boys where they can camp. I would like to speak with young Juliet."

Julian made a noise in his throat but Keyx grabbed his arm and shook his head. They both knew where this was going and it was Juliet's choice. Thalia led them to a spot a little aways from the other tents and she looked apologetic, "look…I'm sorry…" she trailed off.

Julian sighed and shook his head, "nah. It's fine. I figured this would happen." He grew silent and started to unpack the tent. Thalia turned to Keyx who sighed, "Juliet lost her love to a terrible sickness a few years ago. She's never been the same since. The only reason she stays on the island is because of her family."

Thalia turned to Julian, who took up the story. "She took up the matter with Hades but her lover didn't want to come back. She's hated men ever since. The only ones she can put up with are our parents, grandfather Apollo, me and Keyx." His face softened, "besides, Juliet hates it on the island. This will make her happy…I know and I'm fine with it."

A few minutes later a bubbling Juliet ran over to them. "Julian…I did it! I joined the hunters." Keyx could see there was something different about Juliet. She seemed to glow with some immortal glow and was wearing what seemed to be the standard uniform of the hunters. She winced when she said that as if fully realizing what that meant, "look Julian…I…"

Julian shook his head, "it's fine Juliet. When this is over, I'll tell dad and father your wishes."

Juliet looked ready to cry so Keyx stepped up to her side, "don't worry Jules…we're only a Iris message away."

She nodded and wiped her tears away. "Lady Artemis wants to meet with you. I came to get you." Keyx nodded and followed her to the silver tent. When he entered, Lady Artemis was sitting on furs with a giant white wolf by her side.

Keyx bowed his head, "Lady Artemis."

"Sit." She motioned to the spot in front of her and Keyx slowly sat down. "I would like you to tell me what Pontus told you."

Keyx frowned, "something about someone missing out."

The goddess raised an eyebrow, "do you know what he was talking about?"

Keyx licked his lips and spoke slowly. "I think he was talking…about my dad."

Artemis closed her eyes, "so it's true."

Keyx glanced up, "what's true?"

She seemed hesitant to answer but relented, "we got a message a few days ago in Olympus that said in three days there was going to be an awakening. It was to be the birth of a new enemy. Father sent me and my hunters here to check it out and see if we could defeat it."

Keyx sucked in a breath, "you mean…but dad would never attack his family."

Artemis looked pained. "I know, but if it is Percy then no-one knows what happened to him. He's most likely changed."

Keyx stood up in anger and was about to reply when Thalia burst through the tent, "my lady! It's attacking!"

Artemis nodded and ran out of the tent with Keyx not far behind. The forest was surrounded with monsters and Keyx could see the hunters fighting. Suddenly there was a giant tornado from the water and everyone held their breath as a lone figure jumped out of the water and land perfectly in front of the two factions.

Percy sucked in a breath. He shook his head, trying to figure out where he was. He tried to move his arms and found that they were still locked in ice, the only thing free was his head.

"So…you are finally awake."

Percy's head whipped around to the voice. His eyes narrowed when they landed on the ancient figure. "Pontus. What do you want?"

Pontus merely smirked, "it's time for your true awakening. You have been stewing down here as a special project of mine."

Percy frowned, "what do you mean?"

Pontus moved until he was directly in front of Percy, "do you really want to know? That ice was infused with my essence…" Percy froze. "You mean…" Pontus sneered, "oh yes." He suddenly struck Percy's cheek with a hidden dagger and Percy could barely breathe as his golden blood flowed. That's right…he had golden blood. He was immortal.

Pontus leaned back, "you are my greatest piece of work. No longer a demi-god…not even a god…you belong to me."

Percy was having trouble breathing. "You…you made me a primordial?"

Pontus laughed, "you will have to wait and see but for now…I think it's time to bring you back to the land of the living."

Percy growled, "whatever happens…I will never serve you. I would rather die!"

Pontus smirked, "we will see…in time you will find out where your true self belongs. Until then…be my guest to roam." Pontus vanished in a swirl of blue and Percy closed his eyes. He felt the ice melting and soon his arms were free, followed by the rest of his body. He stepped free of the ice for the first time in 500 years and slowly stood up. His body wobbled but he quickly regained his footing and closed his eyes slowly gathering the water to him.

It grew faster and soon a mini tornado formed with Percy inside it. It grew in size until it burst forth into the sky and using the momentum Percy jumped outside to land in front of a group of people. On one side were a horde of monsters and on one side were obviously the hunters of Artemis.

His brow furrowed when he spotted two boys in the midst of the hunters but his attention was quickly diverted to the monsters. One empusa sneered, "if it isn't the one and only Percy Jackson…"

Percy grinned, "hello Kelly. Are you ready to be beaten…again?"

The empusa snarled, "just you wait Percy Jackson! I know what's going to happen to you and then…you will see the light."

Percy took a step back, "whatever he told you was wrong. I will never fight for you."

She laughed, "we will see."

Percy saw red. He didn't know what made him do it, but suddenly the water seemed to obey his heart. A giant wave of monstrous origin rose from the water and swept almost all the monsters away. The few that remained snarled at Percy, and he attacked. He stood amid the golden dust of the monsters and was breathing heavily. It had just occurred to him that he had called for a weapon and the water had responded. He looked down at the sword in his hands and it was made of hardened ice and Percy swallowed in fear. He didn't want Pontus to be right so he threw the sword as hard as he could away from him.

"Percy?"

He spun around. "Thalia."

She seemed almost frightened to come any nearer. "What did you do? You defeated them all single handily."

Percy didn't want to answer. He shuffled his feet from side to side, "look thals…just leave it."

She looked ready to argue but at a touch from Lady Artemis she backed down. Percy bowed as Artemis came closer, "Percy Jackson…it has been a long time."

Percy smiled, "true. I'm rather tired and so I would like to get back to camp and relax." Everyone grew quiet at his words. Percy frowned, "what? Was it something I said?"

No one seemed to want to answer and Percy was getting angry. They could tell because the sea behind him was getting wilder and wilder. Artemis put a hand on Thalia's shoulder and stepped forward, "Percy…how long do you think you were gone?"

Percy seemed confused at the question, "I'm…I'm not sure."

Artemis took a deep breath, "it has been 500 years since you have last been seen. Much has changed in that time."

Percy started to hyperventilate. "What? It's been 500 years! Then…what about…camp…my mom…Annabeth?" His voice broke on the last name and Artemis had to look away at the broken demi-god. She looked at Thalia, "I think it is time to head back to the island."

Thalia nodded and left with the hunters to pack up camp. Artemis crept closer and placed her hand on Percy's shoulder, "I think you'll like the new camp. It was moved to an island when the two camps were joined."

Percy glanced up, "they joined the camps together?"

Artemis nodded. "Aye. It somehow works much better." She hesitated, "Percy…there is something you should…" she shook her head, "no…never mind." She waved her hand and the two boys he spotted earlier came forward. "These are Julian and Keyx."

Percy stared at the two boys. One had golden blond hair and deep blue eyes and seemed familiar to a certain sun god while the other one had a darker blond that reminded him of Annabeth and sea-green eyes. He cocked his head at the darker blond and felt this pull towards the boy.

Thalia raced back, "we're ready to go Lady Artemis."

Artemis nodded. "Come Percy." She grabbed his hand and led him away from the two boys who were looking at Percy with unreadable expressions. Percy suddenly was filled with a strange apprehension, "Lady Artemis…I'm not sure I'm ready."

She shook her head, "nonsense Perseus. There are people who would love to see you. There are people who can help you."

Percy closed his eyes inwardly struggling with his emotions. In the back of his mind, he could hear Pontus laughing, telling Percy that no matter where he went, the sea would always find him. "Very well," he said quietly.

He suddenly vanished only to reappear soon after on the banks of an island. He looked quizzically at Artemis. She smiled, "this is Olympia."

Percy swallowed and nodded. Their presence must have been felt because people were rushing out to meet them. The foremost one was someone Percy never thought he would see again. He gave Chiron a sad smile, "Chiron. It's been awhile."

Chiron stared dumb-founded at Percy. "Why. Percy…how is this possible?" Chiron cast a glance at Artemis but she shook her head.

Percy shrugged his shoulders, "who knows."

Chiron opened his mouth to say more but was cut off by a loud gasp. "Percy?"

Percy turned his head and almost dropped in disbelief. She was even more pretty then the last time he saw her but he would recognize her anywhere. "Hey Wise-Girl."

Annabeth covered her mouth with her hand. Tears ran down her face and it was too much. She turned and fled. Piper gave Percy one last look before darting off after her. Percy was confused, "why did she run?"

No one seemed to have an answer and both Chiron and Artemis were looking away from Percy. He frowned but decided there would be time to find Annabeth later, right now he wanted a nap. He bowed his head, "if you'll excuse me. I'd like to be alone for awhile."

Chiron nodded, "Will."

A golden haired man stepped out from the crowd and came to stand next to Chiron. Chiron closed his eyes, "take Percy and show him around."

Will slowly nodded. "Hey Percy."

Percy grinned at his old friend, "hey Will. Where's the old death-breath?"

"I resent that."

Percy turned to smirk at his cousin. In the years that Percy had been gone, Nico had grown up quite nicely. It was funny to see him standing so close to Will because they were different as night and day. "Don't be mad Nico. You know you secretly like the name."

Nico scowled and crossed his arms. "Yeah…whatever Kelp head."

Percy grinned at the familiar name. Now, this was just like old times. Will sighed, "leave him alone Nico. Come on Percy. Let's go to the infirmary and then we can show you your cabin."

He followed Will to the infirmary and allowed the demi-god to look his body over and when Will was satisfied that Percy was in good condition, Nico led him to the cabins. Percy was brimming to ask about Annabeth but something was holding him back. "How is everyone?"

Nico glared at him but answered anyway. "Everyone is fine. Piper married Jason. Hazel married Frank. Leo married Calypso."

Percy smiled, "he found her again? That's great."

Nico nodded. Percy stuck his hands behind his head and looked up at the sun, "so…what about children?" He didn't mention that Nico had left out Annabeth.

Nico actually smiled, "Hazel and Frank have two kids. A son and a daughter, named Percy and Sam."

Percy blushed and his face in his hands, "they didn't."

Nico laughed, "yeah they did and he's a little hellion."

Percy shook his head, "go on."

"Piper and Jason had a son, but he passed away a few years ago." Percy frowned, "that's…poor Piper."

Nico shook his head, "nah…it was upsetting for Piper for a while but she and Jason take in orphans that have no place to go and give them a home. It's helped a lot."

Percy nodded and turned to glance at Nico, "what about you and Will?"

Nico blushed and turned his head away, "we have two. Twins. A boy and a girl."

Percy laughed, "who would ever have thought Nico, a dad."

Nico stuck his tongue out. He grew quiet as they approached the sea-blue cabin. Percy was silent as he gazed at his father's cabin. It was just like the one at Camp Half-Blood, with a huge wrap around porch and sea-shells lining the walls. Percy took a deep breath and could smell a faint ocean breeze and it calmed him.

He stepped into the cabin and was hit with a wave of nostalgia. His eye's caught sight of a bed with items around it that he didn't recognize. He turned to Nico, "did my dad have another child?"

Nico paused at the door. He inwardly cursed. He had forgotten that Keyx slept in here sometimes to get away from Annabeth and now it was up to him to tell Percy. Nico shook his head, "no."

Percy was confused. "Then who's bed is that? The only way someone can stay in a cabin is if they have the blood…" he trailed off as he recalled the boy from earlier. Those sea-green eyes that seemed familiar. The way Percy had felt some connection to the boy. He sucked in a breath, "…it's not possible." He turned sharply to stare at Nico, "…the boy…he's…"

Nico closed his eyes, "his name is Keyx Jackson. He's your son."

Keyx watched…his dad…no Percy Jackson vanish with the goddess. Julian turned his head to gaze at Keyx, "…what's going on in your mind?"

Keyx didn't know how to answer his friend. He opened his mouth to try and form words but was unable to get them out. He shook his head, "I'm not sure. What do you think happened to him?"

Thalia looked grim. "I can't say for sure but that power he used…he's much stronger and I saw his eyes glowing an unnatural shade of blue. We can only wait and see."

Keyx nodded and soon found himself back on Olympia. The hunters immediately headed to their cabin leaving Keyx and Julian alone. Julian closed his eyes, "I need to find dad and father. I'll come find you later."

Keyx absently nodded and was left alone. He wanted to find his mom. He walked through Olympia until he was standing in front of his mom's house. He could hear voices through the door that sounded like his mom, Aunt Piper, and Adrian.

He took a deep breath and opened the door, halting the conversation. Piper and Adrian shared a look before Piper patted his mom on the back and Adrian kissed her on the cheek, they left. Keyx was silent as he gazed at his mom, "did you see him?"

The question was silent and it seemed to shout in the quiet house.

Annabeth slowly nodded and covered her face with her hands. She had always dreamed of finding Percy and now, when she had finally decided to move forward, he suddenly appeared.

"What are you going to do?"

Annabeth shook her head, "I'm not sure."

Keyx closed his eyes, "I know this might hurt but I think you should stay away from dad."

Annabeth glanced up sharply. "What?"

Keyx chewed his lower lip, "you didn't see him mom. I don't want to see you hurt. Something…isn't right with dad, and I don't want to see you throw away your happiness for something that isn't there anymore."

Annabeth could only stare at her son. She finally smiled, "when did you get so wise?"

Keyx grinned and wrapped his arms around her, "I've always been wise. You just haven't seen it."

Annabeth pulled away, "I'm glad that you care for me so much but this is something I have to do. Trust me…I'll be fine."

Keyx was doubtful. "Mom-"

She shook her head, "Keyx. Please. Trust me."

Keyx closed his eyes and nodded. If only he knew how the truth of his words would come into play.

And finished….next time, we visit the Gods.

Stay tuned!
