I am very sorry for the long break guys, but it's worth it. I have some new ideas, I hope you like it. Shadespace asked me why the gods aren't helping Percy. To answer it's pretty simple if you read all the books gods only helped Percy when they want something from him. In first book Poseidon helped because he wanted avoid fighting zeus, second book Hermes tried to save Luke, third book Apollo helped because he wanted to save his sister, fourth book Hera you know why. No god voluntarily helped Percy except his birthday you for your outstanding reviews, more drama to arrive soon in the following chapters.

This chapter is relatively small compared to other chapters but it has good content. I hope you will be satisfied. Thank you in advance

Percy found himself in a white room, white means it's all white the floor, the ceiling and the walls. At the center of the room there is a 8 year girl tending the fire. He walked towards that girl, suddenly he found himself facing the girl. He immediately recognized her as Hestia the goddess of Hearth. She gave him a warm smile, Percy didn't respond. The memories of the night came back to him.

"you fatal flaw would be your doom. " She stated.

Percy didn't get what she meant he blandly replied "what?"

She smiled at his naievity "You should leave the camp Half-blood for good. Only your loyalty is making you stay at the camp, even though they are unkind and harsh towards you."
She continued.
"It stopped being your home since a long time. You are too loyal and kind to recognize it. "

Percy thought of Annabeth's betrayal and the camp goading Robert as a great hero and the snide comments the this night leaving camp Half-blood seemed like a good decision to Percy but " Where can I go lady Hestia, I belong no where other than here. At least in the camp I could help my fellow demigods despite their hostility towards me. "

"Spoken like true man of kind and pure heart. And your heart is the reason you should leave. You are too different from them Percy some of them have similar heart as you but not as good-hearted as you. And to those few only I speak to, the others I rather ignore them as they ignore me. "
As she mentioned that Percy thought of Nico and Rachel who are only demigods he knew off that Lady Hestia spoke to.

"You may ask me how do I know them?. Most of the demigods in your camp are 'as Dionysus put are brats' "she giggled and continued " 'even though he is also a brat himself' , they are too similar to their parents the Olympians. These demgigods like their parents inherited their proudness and condescence towards the mortals."
As Percy thought of this he could say that almost all the campers think they are better than humans and behave rudely or condescendingly which he used to hate very much.
"They fight for glory rather than saving the world. That's the key difference between you and them, you try to save everyone as much as possible, while they only try to save their loved ones. You even try to save the enemy if you find a hint of goodness in him. "

"I think that's one of the reason why the camper's sub-consciously loathe you for. They feel inferior to you, so they wanted to prove to themselves that you are no better than them."

But Percy had a bigger question "But why now? why am I seing the differences between them and me after the Titan war but not before it? "

"The main reason is the circumstances in which you arrived, whenever you came to camp there is always a crisis and you went off to quests. Whenever a person is in need of something they try to show their best qualities. That's what made you to choose the gods rather than Titans. You have only seen their best side during and before the war. Only after the war were you able to see their true other side, the bratty and proud side. And the other reason is they found another hero who is just like them and does as good as you. So they chose him over you even the one you loved."

At the mention of Annabeth Percy flinched and was near tears. He just couldn't believe that Annabeht will ever do this to him did she love him? or was it just an act to gain fame during the war?. He couldn't decide. She stabbed at his heart without a care. But even now Percy couldn't bring himself to hate her. He still loved her and he hated himself for it.

To assauge his heart-ache "It could have been anyone Percy the one you might have loved." Percy didn't get what she was saying. Seeing the blank look on his face she explained " What I am saying is, since Luke is close to Annabeth she is in the prophecy. If it is not Luke who gave his body and someone else gave to Kronos and are you sure that Annabeth would have shown the same sympathy towards him?" Percy has no answer to that he is not sure. "This is what I am saying it will be better if you let go of her too. "

As Percy listened to this the cloudiness in his future is becoming less cloud and he could see his path clearly.
" You should leave camp as soon as possible if you stay at camp you die of the pain inflicted to you by them but your loyalty towards them is making you stay. Hence your fatal flaw shall be your doom. "

Percy hesitated "But where can I go Lady Hestia, I can't stay with my Mom, she has her own worries and I am a grown man. "

" You need to travel to Alaska the land beyond the gods. There you can be yourselve without any godly influence and do what you want."

Percy for the first time felt what it means to leave everything behind. He has to leave his mom, Paul, the camp .. everything. It is difficult but it looked like a better option to him, he is sure that if he leaves the camp no one would even care other than Nico and Rachel.

Sensing the distress in Percy Hestia tried to soothe away the pain " Don't think the campers truly hate you though it is to some extent. But there is some godly interference which may have amplied their normal feelings which led to your pain and suffering this night. Since most of the gods hate you, I can't say which god did that, it could be anyone. But I assure Alaska is the land beyond the gods, so nothing affect you."

Percy let it sink finally about what she had said "You are saying that most of the gods hate me, then why are you helping me? "

"I offer home to the homeless, since I am the goddess of the hearth. You think you are the only that felt out of place like this? There are so many demigods in the past like some even became famous in the mortal world as well."

"You may have heard of Guy Fawkes who tried to blow up the parliament of England, in truth he tried to blow up the Olympus connection to the mortal world with the help of Hephasteus sons. Though he failed but he was long remembered in the history of mankind as a symbol of revolution against the ruling. The gods tried to remove his name with mist but they were only succesful to mitigate the chaos that ensued after the incident. He was a son of Athena, though she doesn't speak of him as her son. "

"Why did he want to blow up connection, don't monsters overrun the world? " Peryc asked scratching the temple completing forgetting about his imbroglio.

Hestia laughed heartily "Only you Percy! you were told that the monsters will overrun but it's not true. It is of no consequence know, the gods had tightened their security at the base of Olympus. The point here is you must leave, since you are the one who gave me hope, I shall give you hope as well. "

With that she dissapeared, "wake up Percy" a soft voice rang in his head. Suddenly he woke up in a hospital bed. He was face to face with a red and puffy faced Rachel Dare in a mortal hospital.

Percy tried to open his mouth but coughed repeatedly "Percy slow down, don't be in haste " Rachel warned.

"Did you see her? " Percy inadvertently asked.

"who?"

"Lady Hestia in a white..." then Percy realized it was all a dream conversation with her.

"Hestia? why? " Rachel inquired pensively.
"It doesn't matter now. What am I doing here? " Percy questioned.

Rachel glared at him at that "Don't worry, I get it I was injured at the games. " hoping that Rachel doesn't know what the campers did to him. He didn't want anyone to know, Hestia is right, he should let go, which is good and bad.

"Injured!" Rachel blowed up at him "I saw what they did to you. Those jackas." "Rachel " Percy interuppted her.

"Don't Rachel me Percy. " Rachel looked straight at him in the eye with her intense green eyes radiating more than just anger. Her serious face broke into a sob " I should have known, the prophecy is coming true, I could have stopped it. I was too stubborn hoping it is someone else. "

"What prophecy? Rachel what are you talking about? " Rachel looked at him with cmpassion. But Percy didn't want it , Rachel knows that.

"Don't worry Percy atleast the bad part is over."

"Don't worry?" Percy growled at her " It's about me and you don't want me to know."

"I will recite it later, this is not the time and place, first you need to rest. I don't ever want to you to go that retched camp. I will kill you myself if you come to the camp. I didn't even trust the others who are not involved to heal you, that's why I brought you here. Atleast you are healing quickly. I have some things to sort out. " with that their conversation ended. Soon Percy fell in a dreamless slumber.

Thank you for your feedback, review this chapter I had put so much thought into it. So many stories made Percy turn against campers which made me feel like Percy is as bad as them. In this Percy is Percy loyal and loving.
