Percy's POV (11:36 PM Somewhere in the Alaskan wilderness)

I smiled as I left Hestia flabbergasted. I wonder what she is thinking; I hope she doesn't tell Zeus. That and many more questions ran through my head as I reached Alaska. I remembered I had to call Hestia but after tonight I think I can let it slide. It was only a few minutes ago so I'll let tonight slide. When I reach a small hunting shack I ran in and found nothing to eat. Great. I ran out and grabbed what I could; some berries, fire wood, and a rabbit that ended up running away. I slipped into the cabin and cleared out the fallen debris. The shack had a whole in the ceiling and a busted window.

I pulled out my emergency lighter and started a small fire. I laid out my sleeping bag and looked up to the night sky. I was freezing and my fire was dim. I decided to think warm thoughts but when it's below zero, it doesn't really help. I plucked the shells of the nuts and ate the last of the berries. I was still starving.

"So… cold" I groaned internally to myself.

Hestia's POV (02:30 AM Throne room on Olympus)

I sat at my hearth watching the gods argue. Of course over what Percy did to Hercules. He deserved it and Artemis backed me up. Athena chirped in here and there only to stay on her father's good side.

"To Tataros with him. He assaulted me." Hercules whined. Ares and Hera agreed.

"You made a move on a maiden goddess" Demeter added. I tried to look uncomfortable.

"What's the big deal? Happened plenty of times to the three of you" All three of us were glaring at him, me only half-heartedly. He sunk a little in his throne.

"I slightly agree with Aries and Hercules. Perseus is a liability, especially now with his rebellious attitude. I blame the sea urchin." Poseidon grew angry and stood up.

"My fault, Perseus left of his own will, how am I to blame, it's your daughter's fault for abandoning him. The girl cares only for fame and attention." Athena only crossed her arms and looked away; she knew she couldn't deny that fact. Stupid half-blood girl.

"Who cares about that lets just kill the kid and be done with it." Aries argued. Zeus began to contemplate this. I grew nervous and began to fiddle with Percy's amulet. It's usually so warm but it's kind of freezing, I wonder if it has to do with Perseus or it's normally this way. Maybe I should go check on him, just to see how he's doing.

"If he offends anyone else in the council then we will decide his fate." The council erupted into arguments. I took this chance to slip out and check on Percy, he was supposed to contact me by now.

When I got to Percy I was quite surprised, I at least expected to find him in a hotel room but not in this rundown shack. I rested my hand on his shoulder and snatched it back. He was freezing. I removed the veil I like to wear on my head and placed it over him. He seemed to relax more and scrunch together. I caressed his cheek and warmed him up. A smile crept onto his face. I adjusted myself so his head was on my lap. For the next few hours I sat there keeping him warm throughout the night.

It was 7 in the morning when I couldn't stay any longer. I was so tired from staying up all night. I laid my hero's head down and proceeded to leave. I remembered he had no food with him so I summoned some breakfast and slipped out before he awakened.

I couldn't go to Olympus with Hercules skulking around so I went to the hunters' camp to my niece. When I arrived at the camp the hunters walked up and paid their respects. I smiled and waved to them. Thalia walked with me to Artemis' tent where the said goddess walked out.

"Hello Hestia, is there anything I can do for you?" She wore an apathetic expression. Her eyes though seemed to be lost in thought.

"I don't feel comfortable resting in my palace at Olympus, Hercules seems to have targeted me and I am too weak to defend myself at the moment." She pondered for a second but accepted.

"I don't like this new god. He has no respect or any women. Please come in and stay, we will be out hunting. Thalia and phoebe will guard my tent for you." She noticed the amulet on my arm.

"Thank you, Artemis." I began to walk in but she asked one last question.

"Where did you find this gorgeous gem?" I blushed.

"I just picked it up a while back." I lie. I held it out and she eyed it carefully.

"Ok, if you ever see another one please pick it up for me." I smiled and simply promised in reply.

When I walked into her tent it was like walking into a zoo, she had animal heads all over the place. Her desk was neat and untouched. She had pelts hanging and laying all over the place. She had a pad for her prized stag which was eyeing me carefully. I gave it a small wave and made it to her bed. Not exactly my taste.

It had silver pillows and sheets but the comforter was a sewn together pattern of pelts. I flashed into some sleeping clothes before I realized that I left my veil with Percy. I'd have to get it back soon. I nestled in and felt the amulet and it seemed warm. I guess I can tell when he is in need.

Clarisse's POV (1:00 PM One Month since Percy's Departure)

Another meeting was called to order about Prissy's disappearance. Annabeth now regretting her breakup since Hercules left her for godhood decided she would lead this meeting. The only few who still wanted Prissy around were Rachel, Nico, Grover, and a few of those roman brats. Once Chiron walked in the meeting had begun.

"So my students, any word on Percy's disappearance.

Most of them looked away and didn't care. No one raised their hand.

"How about our Roman brethren. Anything?" Chiron's attention turned towards Jason.

"I'm sorry Chiron no one has seen him." We all looked down until Annabeth looked up.

"Rachel any prophecies about him." Me and her both scowled at Annabeth. She tried to sound scared or concern but we all knew better.

"None Chase None" Rachel's voice clearly had venom present.

"Wow who knew you were such a attention hog." I spat, Nico and Rachel laughed in response.

"Since when do you care for Percy" She trudged over to me. Arms crossed and anger showed.

"We have always had a rivalry type friendship; in the war we had each other's back. More than you can say" She grew furious. Chiron intervened before someone's shroud ended up getting burnt.

"Chiron, no more meeting's on this matter." We all turned to see Hercules, our supposed god of heroes and demigod king walked in all high and mighty.

"The gods agreed that it's time to burn a shroud and move on, this matter is closed." He walked out anger in his eyes.

Rachel, Me, Nico, and Grover all trudged out and dispersed. Sadness in the air.

Rachel's POV

I walked back to my cave, slowly. Why did it have to be him, he just wanted to be normal. Can you blame him?

"You worry too much my dear oracle." Great, why now.

"He's dead isn't he?" I replied. I walked into my cave as Apollo followed suit. He sat next to me, his arm snaking over my shoulder. I normally didn't allow him to do this but I leaned on his shoulder.

"He's alive, you know" Apollo said in a neutral voice.

Percy's POV (3:35 PM Carthspire 2 Months Later, Christmas Eve)

In the three month that I left camp and began to build my empire I have grown up considerably. I started like the fates said and built the Carthspire. Then I raised the earthborn and stationed them here and there for security. I created a guardian for the gate that opens to the city. All the other times I've you could say slip into the underworld and trained with heroes from all time periods. Theseus, Achilles, Orion, Charles, Luke, and many others. I learned all the fighting styles. I've decided that we would become the NeoTitans. The new titans. And I must say being king is easier than it looks. I have wings that were the same color as my hair. Each of the eight will have the same.

Much like the Olympian Council, I created the Sentient. A council of soon to be eight members, still in progress. The current members were; Me, Orion, Theseus, Achilles, Charlie, and Zoe. As for the Citizens, well I decided to pluck some nymphs here and there, satyrs, half-bloods turned immortal, and any titan that swore loyalty to me. Some of which surprised me. Prometheus (surprisingly), Leto (Apollo's Mother), Selene (wife of Helios), Nyx (Primordial of night), and a few others. My kingdom was at peace as we celebrated its completion. One last thing on my list was to create a camp near the kingdom for the demi titans.

As we partied the night away I felt a bit lonely. I missed Hestia and her always warming heart. I felt my scarf that I found on me that first day I was here in Alaska.

Flashback

I woke up from my frozen nightmare all warm and cozy. I leaned up and looked to see a veil laying on me.

"Hestia" I finally got up and found the best breakfast any man can ask for. Eggs, bacon, toast, and blue pancakes. I tossed a little in and thanked her. I wrapped her veil like a scarf around my neck and continued on. For each night I would all her and would talk about what is going on. How our days were. Each day we seemed to grow closer and closer. She told me how Hercules had targeted her and how he was trying to find his way into an engagement. I told her that the second that it happens, I'll be there to kick his tail and take her away. She said I sounded like a knight in shining armor.

One month later on October 15th is a night id never forgets. I was sitting and watching the stars until I heard a voice behind me.

"Hello, Percy." I turned around and smiled to Hestia until I seen what she was wearing. She wore a brownish-gold dress. It wasn't something you would see Aphrodite wear but it looks good on her. It showed her curves and figure nicely and was skintight down to her ankles. She had on old fashion Greek sandals. Her hair was curly. She looked drop dead gorgeous.

"Is something wrong?" She asked innocently. I' pretty sure I'm drooling.

"Ughhhh, I mean umm... Wow" Great idiot, good comeback and quit drooling. She giggled.

"What's the occasion?" I asked.

"Winter Solstice but Hercules kept pestering and I'm not trying to attract any attention sort of." She blushed looking off.

"Sort of?" Did she like someone?

"Yeah there is this one hero" I blushed. As she sat closer than normally next to me. I could feel the heat radiating off her but our eyes were staring into each other.

"Oh what's he like?" Her fingers had found themselves slipped into mine.

"He has a soft and calm personality. He's handsome and protective. He would go to tataros and back for the people he loves." We were leaning in; my hand was caressing her cheek.

"He has soft emerald eyes you could get lost in for days." I closed the gap between our lips. It was a soft and warm kiss. It broke a few seconds later. We leaned our heads together, taking in the moment. She slipped herself into my lap as I wrapped my arms around her waist. We sat for what felt like hours and enjoyed each other's presence. Around midnight she said she had to return before Artemis or Athena noticed. She gave me one last kiss and returned to Olympus.

Flashback End

I waited for her to show up, watching my kingdom party the night away. It was too good to be true. I had a small box in my pocket for her. Not an engagement ring but a bracelet for her arm. I'm going to infuse the amulet into the bracelet for her gift, just a prettied up bracelet. But it had an engraving only she could see. My heart burns with the fire of your hearth. I leaned on the railing till my ring started to glow. Hestia needed me; I immediately found Theseus and told him to take charge if anything happens. Next thing I know I'm landing in front of Hestia's palace and rushing in. What I saw next I will never forget.
