Hello to the people who like this story and anyone else who just likes reading. I'm sorry for being gone for so long. I got grounded and couldn't get on the internet. But I'm back. And I think I have a plan for the whole Pertemis or Percebeth thing. I don't think I'm gonna give it away though. Also I just finished reading the House of Hades and I am starting to read the Blood of Olympus. Thanks to everyone who has kept waiting.

I can't believe how much has happened in just a year.

I've gained and lost so much at the same time.

I am king of a giant army, who are loyal to me and support our cause.

But I also lost much that is important to me. My mother and Paul died two months into this war after Zeus sent a couple of empousa to kill them.

After Dad and I found out, it took everything in both of us to not flood the entire east coast. But Hades made sure that they both made it to Elysium safely.

Leo was paralyzed from the waist down a month later. But the one thing that didn't go with his ability to walk was his sense of humor. The guy could never stop joking around, and it was kind of heart-warming. The thought that someone could go through something like that and still remain cheerful is amazing.

Frank died in battle trying to defend part of Texas. Hazel had been there and basically won the battle for everyone when the enemy saw her in a horrifying rage and tried to retreat, only to fall into a deep pit full of sharp spikes made from valuable metals.

Piper was helping Hestia and Apollo with helping and scouting for people in need of our help. And let me tell you, she is great at her job. And she's not even an Apollo kid.

Nico, Jason, and I had led ten-thousand soldiers into battle nine hours ago and won with few casualties.

We were trying to lead a large army to take the rest of the South-east of the U.S.

Now it's ten o' clock, and everyone's asleep.

I just keep thinking about one thing. Annabeth. I can't wait to see her again when I get home. She's amazing in every way. And I think I have an idea.

I walked outside of my tent with a flashlight and a drachma. I made a mist appear and shone the flash through it, prayed to Iris and tossed the coin in. Two seconds later I see a boy sleeping with his grease covered face laying on his desk.

"Leo. Leo wake up," I said in a loud whisper.

He jumped in surprise as he looked around for the person who woke him.

"Sorry to wake you. But I need a favor," I said hoping that my plan would pay off. "I need you to forge something for me. Something special."

"Oh okay what is it?" Leo asked in curiosity.

"A ring."
