I own no characters, and the story line is made up.

Olympus had always looked beautiful, and now even after the battle, it retained a sense of peace and calm, too bad I wasn't calm at all. I walked into the room which held the gods, and they were all in their supreme forms. To the side of the room closest to Demeter's new chair sat Noah, he looked scared, I almost felt sympathy for him, but then I remembered he ran me through with a sword. I had to come back to earth, well kind of to heaven.

"Perseus Jackson you have been summoned her for a quest do you accept." There wasn't even a hello thanks for saving us some weeks back it was just there.

"Uh…what quest?" I sounded stupid in front of the gods.

"Bring her out." Zeus motioned and Rachel Dare came to the center of the throne room, her eyes were glazed green, she opened her mouth, and a different voice came out.

The son of the high meets the son of the low

The fate of which the wise daughter knows

The end of the journey will be in unrest

When he returns the angle of death.

Six shall there be, but one will be lost

Life is gone the final cost.

The last line hit me, I thought my prophetic deaths were over, but apparently not. Rachael was escorted away, and I just stood there.

"I can't." I didn't want to that would kill me and they all knew it.

"Why not?" Thunder and lightning lit up the sky, present with the god's anger.

"I'm not invincible anymore." I didn't know why Noah sword pierced him was no different from his own, but it still hurt him.

"That's impossible, you cannot become uninvincible, just like that." It had hit me the reason why I was so mortal now.

"It's her fault." I pointed my finger at Athena, "She drove her away." Everyone stared at me I had just screamed at a very powerful, god.

"How is it my fault?"

"She broke up with me, are you happy, your life can now be happy, I bet you sent him too, to drive a wedge between us." I was furious, the water in the fountain bubbled and raised, but I then felt a cold hand on my shoulder, it was my dad, now in human form, he lowered my hand. I looked at Athena she had a smile on her face, but only I could see it.

"Son, what has Athena done to you, who has she driven you from?"

"Annabeth I hate her now she did this to me." I pointed to my almost healed side.

"I thought that was the work of Noah?"

"It's because of her Noah struck, I hate her." I was shuttering now, not able to stand I kneeled, it had now become apparent to everyone in the room.

"You focused on a human to keep you grounded, didn't you, on a girl no less." Zeus yelled at me, but Hera gave him a sharp eye.

"What is wrong with women?"

"Uh…Nothing, just mortals." She was satisfied with this answer.

"You, insolent boy, she will always leave you and now you have lost the one thing that made you great, your invincibility." This sent me over the edge.

"Annabeth is the one thing that made me great!" By this time Aphrodite was crying, she always wanted me and Annabeth together, no matter what, but I might not ever be friends with her again. I looked around to all the gods, their faces filled with different emotions.

"If you want me to do this quest tell her to leave us alone." I pointed straight at Athena which must have offended her because she, tried to kill me, she drew her sword, but before she swung, Aphrodite stood between us.

"Stop all of you." Poseidon directed everyone back to their seats.

"Percy, we are gods we cannot meddle in your lives like you would want us too, you are taking this quest, pick your 4 people and leave." I was disgusted my own father was against me, then it occurred to me the prophecy said 6 but with me it would only be 5, he sensed my confusion.

"Noah, will be your sixth, this is what the quest is about, him."

"Just because he has no belly button, and he came from some strange island, and C. raised him..." Just then, in my head I figured out who C. was.

"It's Calypso, that's who C. is on her island." I was impressed with my logic, Annabeth had rubbed off on me.

"We figured as much, we also fear that the angel of death refers to Kronos." Kronos, how could it I thought he was lunchmeat, but of course no one could die, could they.

"Let me guess, I'm the one from below, and Annabeth is the wise one." Great.

"We figured that too, who else will you take then." I knew who I wanted to take, but we're older and had responsibility, I had school to get back too, and what if they couldn't come.

"I shall take Noah, Annabeth…, Nico, Kelsey, and Grover." I liked my list, except for Noah, I added Kelsey in there for Nico's happiness, but she was smart, and a good fighter, not to mention a daughter of Athena.

"Then be gone." I felt a gush of wind and I was now on my ass, in the Big House, next to Noah. He was on his knees in front of me.

"I didn't think I could hurt you, please forgive me I thought you would just push me off and impress Annabeth, but the sword just went through." He was whimpering by the end, I almost had a heart for him, but I would save my judgment for later, I called for Chiron. The head of all the Cabins, new ones included gathered into the arena.

"There is a quest at hand, and I have picked my members." I looked around and didn't see Grover.

"Where is Grover?"

"I'm here." He was running from somewhere in the woods and gathered in the circle. I first read them the prophecy, and everyone thought of its meaning. I stated the names of my companions.

"Noah, Nico, Kelsey, Grover, and I."

"There has to be six and Kelsey isn't even Head of cabin." The leader of the Hermes cabin complained

"If you were thinking it says the "wise daughter knows" and I know there is to be a sixth." Annabeth's face was saddened when she saw I picked Kelsey for the wise daughter.

"I couldn't go without two daughters of Athena, so the gods have demanded I bring Annabeth." I hated playing to their every whim. Chiron had one more announcement.

"Before they leave we will have capture the flag." There were a great number of cheers and since it was now morning, we had a whole day of preparation. Nico, who by default was head of Hades cabin, went to tell Kelsey the good news. I went back to my cabin to pack, followed by Grover.

"She's been crying nonstop since the beach."

"I don't care Grover, I lost my invincibility because of her and I can't care." He didn't understand me, but I didn't want Annabeth back, and there would be even more tension at the Capture the Flag game. I stuffed what I needed into a pack, I had Tyson's shield now updated with me versus Kronos, and he even left out the part where I didn't actually kill him. I put the watch on, and some cleaner clothes, I was ready, breakfast was good, lunch better and by dinnertime, I felt almost completely healed. We went back to our Cabins to get ready, which I already was, I headed to the Arena to meet up with Nico, and found Annabeth, I was going to talk to her, but I saw her with Noah, what was with him, he always was just there, I hid behind the sword shed, and listened.

"You must forgive him." Noah seemed to be on my side, but Annabeth was not.

"I won't and no one can make me, Noah why can't we be together." That hit me hard she wanted to be with him so soon after not being with me, I waited to hear his response that would decide my position with him.

"I am never to, and I hold respect for Percy, and I know you still like him, I can see it."

"He is a low life…I don't like him, he was a good friend and yes I had feeling for him, but I don't…ughh!" She walked away from him. He headed in my direction, I casually pretended to be walking towards him.

"Ready." I had a new out view of Noah, but he still seemed out of place.

"I am not playing I do not want to hurt anyone."

"I understand." We walked our separate ways, and I remembered I was supposed to be meeting Nico; he was sitting at the far post of the Arena. We talked strategy, we decided someone was to be on Annabeth the whole time, even if she was invisible they could track her, Nico was assigned to this, he was stealthy, and I was assigned to get the flag, that was it. We headed to the woods and for the first time ever at camp I was on the same team as Ares, we discussed our plan to them, and they agreed without discourse. Chiron repeated the rules, and it began. 20 minutes in I was fifty feet from the flag, guarded by Kelsey and a younger Apollo Camper, I ran behind the rock that looked like Zeus's fist. I slowly climbed it and when I grabbed it, no one noticed, I snuck back into the woods, ten feet away I was knocked on my ass. I didn't see who did it, but I saw Nico in a close by tree I assumed it was Annabeth, I started running again, to be pushed in a tree, my body ached, I couldn't fight the invisible, I put the flag in the ground and drew Riptide.

"Fight me; you know you want to, just do it." I was taunting her.

"You can't fight can you cause your precious Noah isn't here."

It was bad to bring Noah into this, a Yankees cap flew off her head, and she came at me, she didn't have her usual dagger she had Noah's sword. Nico grabbed the flag and ran there was great cheering, and Chiron said we won, but Annabeth and I didn't stop, each blow was masterfully blocked on both sides. We had been fighting for twenty minutes and slowly a circle formed around us of campers. Chiron yelled at us to stop, but it did nothing. She was tiring I was tiring, but she couldn't win, the blows came slower and the blocks weaker. Finally Annabeth dropped her sword I kicked it away, I know I couldn't go for the kill, but I still raised my sword above her, she looked into my eyes, pitiful, and weak. I capped Riptide and fell into the hands of Nico and Grover. Kelsey helped Annabeth back to her cabin. I should have been happy to win, but I felt like an ass, I just beat a girl. I stopped momentarily, had they forgotten her cap, I went pack and picked it up and put it in my pocket, I then heard a scream, I knew the voice it was Annabeth's. With all the strength I could muster, I ran to that direction, I saw it, I could never forget it, and I had killed it twice, it was the Minotaur.

I usually hate cliff hangers, but I guess maybe it'll get more reviews, and I'm not like some people who say 10 review or no new stories, but I do like review, next update might actually be tonight. No practice .
