-Nico's POV-

I can't believe Percy's back, I searched everywhere in the underworld making sure he wasn't dead.

After I got over the shock, I ran over to him and hugged him tight, Thalia did the same.

"750 YEARS PERCY?!" I shouted.

"Ssshh, keep your voice down."

"Where have you been?!" Thalia asked.

"I've been training with Chaos, learning all the skills of the universe, I am the most powerful being ever."

"Doesn't mean I can't beat you," Thalia said as she lept on him.

"You broke Annabeth's heart! She hardly sleeps and stays distant from everyone!"

She got off and punched Percy once in the arm.

"I broke her heart?!" He said causing a small earthquake beneath us.
"You may want to ask her what actually happened." He said, stopping the earthquake.

That made me wonder what did happen, I knew Percy wouldn't run away for no reason.
I also wondered how powerful Percy was.

Thalia walked out to go talk to Annabeth.

-Thalia's POV-

I quickly walked to find Annabeth, I found her in her cabin crying into her pillow.

"Hey Annabeth, wanna go down to the beach?"

"Sure Thals."

We walked whilst talking about the capture the flag game.

When we reached the beach, we sat down and I asked,

"Annabeth, what really happened with Percy?"

She looked at me and said,

"I already told you, he ran off."

"Alpha told me different, he told me to ask you what happended."

She held her knees to her chest and started crying again.

"I-.. I cheated on him."
I sat there with my mouth open, suprised at what she just told me.

"Please tell me you're not being serious."

She looked at me so innocently and I knew she was telling the truth.

"But why Annabeth?"

"He left on a quest and I felt so lonely, it was only later when Chiron told me the quest was to earn my mothers blessing to marry me."

That must have been horrible for Percy, I see why he left.

"The same day his dad also said John was his favourite son."

That's when Nico came over and told me to return to the big house.

"Percy said he has a question to ask us." Nico told me.

"Okay let's go."

When we reached the big house once again and sat down, Percy said,

"Did Annabeth tell you?"

"She did, I understand why you left,"

"Anyways, How would you guys feel about joining Chaos's assassins?"

I was a little shocked by this question and wasn't sure what to say.

"I would really love to Percy, but my loyalties lie with Artemis," I told him.

"I would, but i need to help my dad around the underworld." Nico said.

"That's fine, You-" He stopped talking and looking out the window,

"I sense an enemy coming this way." He continued.

"How bad?" I asked,

"Nothing I can't handle."

He put on his mask and we walked to the top of the hill and looked at the army, Hyperion and Kronos were leading the charge, with Atlas and Gaia not far behind.

"Oh my Gods..." we all chanted.
