Chapter 16 - The End

Percy

I've been through a lot in life. I'm sure anyone would agree. Even for a demi-god, I had it rough. Ember/Stella seems to think it's a good idea to bring Triton back. Or she's getting revenge. I don't know who she is anymore.

"You brought Triton back?" I shout.

"He was only sleeping. He was going to wake up eventually and it's better to sort this out now than later." She replies. I think she's evil.

"Gaia, how is it that you have survived an explosion?" Lilly says, her voice is dangerously low.

"Teleportation." She replies. She doesn't even look at Lilly. "I know everything, Lils and I can tell them if you get… well. You know what I mean."

"You wouldn't dare."

"I would, actually. You stole my life. Remember? I had to start again."

"It's easy for you."

"Yeah because everything is easy for me." Gaia snaps, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'll leave you to… sort out your issues." She then turns to Triton. "I'm sorry for leaving you here with them but… " She trails off. She doesn't look back as she walks straight into the elevator. She waves her hand almost dismissively and Olympus starts to repair itself. When I look back, the doors are closed and she is gone. We wait a few minutes as we take in what just happened. Hera snaps her finger and we are on the street. We run after her. She doesn't seem in much of a rush. She stops to sign a petition and talk to various people. Circe walks up to her and begins talking. Gaia cuts her off and hands her a piece of paper. Circe squeals and runs away. We finally catch up and Gaea is walking next to her.

"Europe?" Gaea says

"I was thinking Egypt." She replies. This is confusing. I'm still dyslexic. Same name, different spelling. Or was that pronunciation? I don't know.

"Fine." Gaea looks at us. "London, three months." Gaea walks off.

"Egypt?" I say.

"It's non of your business." She snaps.

"It is my business actually."

"It stopped being your business eleven years ago. When you kissed Annabeth." Gaia stops and turns to face me. Some guy walks up to us.

"Is he bothering you?"

"Definitely."

"So why don't you let me give you a ride to the airport?"

"Daniel?"

"Yes."

"Piss off. I'm not interested." Gaia says and walks away. I don't know if I'll ever see her again. You never know. If she's Ember or Stella then you wouldn't. I smile, despite everything. It's going to work out. Now that she's gone, everything will be fine…

Gaia

This is the end of this story. I might come back here in, like, a century but not until most of them are dead. I'm on my flight to Egypt. I think about how this has all turned out. It's a long flight and I know everything.

Percy and Annabeth got back together. Percy inherited Poseidon's power a week later but Poseidon didn't die. He lives in the underwater palace with his wife. Percy, Triton and Tyson split the throne. Tyson was only interested in the Cyclopes and Hippocampi, so Tyson is now King of Cyclopes and Hippocampi. Percy and Triton split the rest evenly and made a truce with Oceanus.

Luke and Bianca are secretly going out, trying to keep it concealed for as long as possible. So far, only Aphrodite and I know. You can't hide true love from her.

Thalia went straight back to adventuring with the Hunters. Nico went back with Lilly. The Gods reclaimed Olympus and put a new shrine up. TO ME! I was shocked but I taught them something and repaired Olympus. Pricilla is the "other girl" and she has her mirror. She now goes by the name Alessia and lives with Rachel. They are really good friends. Ben and Kate left the palace and are the cutest couple ever! My parents forgot that I existed and treat Lilly as their daughter. Lilly decided I was not to be messed with. Good choice. The Romans and the Greeks spend time at each other's camps, go on quests together and overall get along very nicely.

And the rest? Well, everyone else have a lot more living to do. But that's another story…

THE END

I hoped you enjoyed my story. It took a lot of my time and imagination so yeah. I will be writing another story and all I will tell you is this. This won't be the last time Gaia is involved…

HAVE FUN
