Me: I promise you will get your chance Percy.

Percy: Are you sure?

Me: Hey, I keep my promises. If what happens in this chapter is calm, I could easily arrange that, but if you look for trouble, I can't guarantee it. I am only telling things that you say to put. *shrugs*

Percy, grumbles: You are like Annabeth when she was not evil.

Me: Is that supposed to hurt or what?

Percy: It says you are smart.

Me: Do not give me that look! It could've been an insult, considering that Annabeth did really annoy you with her crazy smartness.

Percy: Outsmarted a 17 year old, and you are what, twelve? (AN: This is not my real age. I skipped grades, so I am really younger than that.)

Me: Duh… *facepalms*

Thank you Leila Blue for helping me with this chapter! Also, earlier, I spelled her full name wrong, and didn't notice until now. This is her nickname.

Percy POV

"This has to happen! It needs to after what Reyna saw!" I cried, exasperated.

"We need to prepare either way. If this is a diluted version, we are in trouble. We need to prepare." Clarisse added. War council was taking place, and I kept on saying we had to get ready for the war. We had to, or we'd all be crushed.

"Reyna saw one army, not three hundred. I think we can take on a gaggle of monsters." Connor said, "We have time."

"TRAVIS, THIS IS NOT LIKE THE WAR YOU HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED! THIS IS A WAR THAT BROKE THE CYCLE! THIS HAS TO BE TERRIBLE!" I yelled, "REYNA SAW AT LEAST 400 THOUSAND MONSTER COMING, NOT TO MENTION ANOTHER ARMY OF DEMIGODS!"

"The council has already decided. Connor, we have most of us saying that we need to prep. Unless you want to get killed." Reyna said, pushing her hand down on to the table to show authority. Connor suddenly rose to his feet, eyes glazed, and spoke in a different voice. The voice of an eidolon.

"You will not survive this."

Suddenly he slumped forward, eidolon leaving his body. The room was still with shock. A monster had made it into the boundaries. Something was wrong. We all leapt up and ran to Thalia's pine, but something was missing. The Athena Parthenos was gone.

"This is not good! I think the war with Him has started." Will cried. We all rolled our eyes.

"Duh, Will. We all knew that. Have all your brain cells been spent on healing?" Clarisse snapped. Will turned a fiery red, and said nothing more. Chiron stroked his beard, ever the thoughtful advisor.

"A monster has already made it into Camp, and the Athena Parthenos is missing. These events have to be linked." I muttered under my breath. I was never good at thinking, but suddenly, the answer hit me like a baseball hit with a bat.

"Chiron, does the border also prevent His followers from coming in?" I asked Chiron, "If not, I think Chase and Grace took it."

"No, the border has never excluded any demigod." Chiron answered, and that's it. The border would've let Annabeth and Jason in, and they would've stolen it. The war has started, and there was nothing to do but prepare. Chiron galloped into the amphitheater, and blew the conch shell horn. All the demigods filled in the amphitheater, slowly.

"Monsters have been let into the Camp by Annabeth Chase and Jason Grace. They have stolen the Athena Parthenos. The war has been declared. We need to prepare. (AN: I have never rhymed in Fanfictions before…)" I announced gravely, and the shocked faces of the campers didn't surprise me. Annabeth and Jason had once been part of the Seven of the Great Prophecy. To think that they were harming the camps they once protected with their lives…

A growl rippled through the air, and an entire pack of hellhounds dashed at the campers. Only a few had weapons, considering it was almost curfew. The few that had weapons were the members of the war council, Chiron, and Reyna. Will kept on shooting arrows, and they returned to him. Returning arrows. However, the hellhounds kept on moving, around the campers, circling them like vultures around a half dead animal in the sweltering desert heat.

"If we keep like this, we can't hit them! Everyone use bows!" I called, and I summoned bows for all of us. Well, except for the Stolls, because they were hopeless. Never-ending arrow quivers came with them as well. Each time a hellhound lunged, an arrow hit it. Soon, the large pack of 20 hounds slowly disintegrated into 10, 5, 2…

All but one.

That one, smart, keeping away from the others as they got killed.

That one, larger that all the others.

That one, able to shadow-travel everywhere, cleverly avoiding being hit.

That one, specifically seeming to target one person.

Me.

The same stupid hellhound, trying to shadow travel to behind me, but disappears just before it got hit.

Slowly, the other campers snuck out, but we couldn't blame the for being scared of a 10 foot tall hellhound. Each time it got closer, the war council, not including Chiron, (he went to help the campers) formed a circle, all back to back, shoulder to shoulder. All the bows were fully drawn, and then the hellhound lunged, and the claws hit my face. They retreated, and again, it lunged at me. I couldn't stand the pain. It lunged one last time, and the claws hit my chest, slicing it partially open. I collapsed, and the others finally killed it. Reyna and Clarisse brought me to the creek, which was not too far. They placed me into the water, but the cuts only healed to scars. They wouldn't heal, not completely. I submerged, to let the abrasions on my face heal, but those wouldn't heal either. The wounds are cursed.

I sat up, gasping, as I realized what happened. I glanced down at the cuts on my chest, and when I saw the scars running from my right shoulder across my stomach, I almost wanted to pass out at how horrid the curse was. Around each of the cuts was a dead, dull black color. I stood up with difficulty, and a suddenly wave of lightheadedness sprinted across my brain.

"Whoa there Prissy." Clarisse muttered. I walked out of the creek, and willed my clothes to dry, and stumbled, dazed from the sudden drift of energy leaving me. They helped me back to my cabin, where Aenon had fallen asleep, still burrowed under all of his blankets. I couldn't resist the urge to pull his head up to his pillow. I walked over to my bed, and Clarisse left.

"Reyna, don't leave me." I mumbled just before I fell asleep. I caught a glimpse of her eyes full of tears, trying to to cry, too choked up to speak. Then, I officially passed out.

~~Let's skip to a few days later, and the cursed cuts were healed by Apollo, Percy is fully functioning~~

"Reyna, after we eat, meet me at the beach." I requested as we walked to the pavilion, "Wear a dress or something nice."

She nodded, surprised at the request. My heart pounded, not believing that I will do it. I saw Aenon sitting all alone at the Poseidon table, in his own little island. I gave him a sad little smile that told him I can't sit with him. He nodded, understanding. Aenon is smart for his age. I have seen him do slope and parabola and things like that. Even functions! At age 7! I always wondered if he is also the son of Athena, or blessed by Athena, or his mother was a child of Athena, or if his mother was a descendant of her.

Chiron started the meal, thanking the gods, and things like that. Then the nymphs came out, bringing platters of food. A watering aroma filled the air. Pizza. I took a few slices of cheese pizza, and I glanced at Reyna. I saw her choose everything healthy, like grilled chicken salad, or lean barbeque, and, umm, basically everything healthy yet yummy. Everyone was gawking at Reyna, except for the vegetarians, healthy crazy people, or the germaphobics (AN: I know, I know. It's not a real word, but you get my point right?). Reyna payed no attention to them, and just went on eating. Soon, the dining pavilion became filled with clatters of forks, and the slight noise of slurping their drinks, echos of laughter ringing through the air.

Dinner passed, and Chiron stood up to make some announcements.

"Everyone, please welcome back Percy Jackson and Reyna Avila Ramírez Arellano!" CHiron said, and this was followed by a round of thunderous applause. Well, everyone clapped, but Holly and Laurel. I ignore them, because they're daughters of Nike, they think they have to be the center of attention.

"Thanks everyone. Chiron and Reyna have agreed on this: we decided to move all the tables together, making one large table, so everyone could be like one large family." I announced, and it was followed by one outburst. By Holly and Laurel.

"But that's stupid! What is the point of this if the point of camp is to show who is better? THERE HAS TO BE A WINNER!" Laurel protested.

"Yeah, there is no point. The camp does what we say. We say no! Unless someone wants to challenge our position at first place" Holly cried.

"How many times have you been a victim of the Great Prophecy?" I asked. Geez, they were getting annoying. Just like their mother, Nike.

"Umm… "

"How many times have you saved Olympus?" This was getting fun. We all knew the answer.

Silence.

"Have you been through Tartarus and back?"

"Ermmmmm, umm, no."

"Have you ever taken a dip in the Styx?"

Silence.

"How many titans have you killed?"

"Umm, uhhhhh, none?"

"Have you ever had to save Lord Zeus' thunderbolt?"

"No."

"Did you ever go to the Sea of Monsters?"

Silence.

"Have you ever been to the Labyrinth?"

"Uhhhh, no?"

"Have you ever had to battle the worst monsters in the world?"

"Does Queen Sess count?"

"No."

"Dang it!"

"Have you ever had to go through memory loss, and not be able to see your original home for months?"

Silence.

"Have you ever killed Pasiphaë's son?"

"No."

"Have you ever had to go through a Kindly One?"

Silence. I tried really hard to keep a stoic expression, and stood up, claiming victory, as the very daughters of victory admitted their first defeat. The other campers suddenly exploded in cheering. Finally, the two that have tried to take over camp after Grace and Chase have been defeated. They kept on cheering until the campfire started, where cheesy sing-along songs were sung. I joined in as well, and suddenly, I was reminded with a jolt. I nudged Reyna, and apparently, she just remembered as well. We got up, and ran to change. I threw on a dress shirt, long khaki pants, and sandals. Well, ones that looked formal Then, Reyna emerged from the bathroom, wearing a light purple beach skirt with no side opening, and a white colored shirt that is covered in light blue lace. Her hair was pinned up in a bun, and she took this a bit far. Reyna had a small gold and silver heart colored necklace. I felt my mouth drop open, but I quickly shut it. We quickly ran to the beach.

"Reyna, just listen to me." I said, and the campers emerged from the campfire area. I picked her up, and ran into the water. Reyna yelped, but cooperated nonetheless. I ran into the deeper end, still close enough to see, and I created a bubble that encase both of us. I sent out a bubble trident and a bubble pair of dogs. The campers walked to us, curious. I pulled out the ring box, and got to one knee.

Reyna POV

"Reyna, will you have the honor of becoming Mrs. Jackson?" Percy asked, and my eyes widened, filling with tears. Percy was holding a light purple ring box, and inside of it, was a beautiful silver ring, finished with a fair sized amethyst, and around that, was tiny blue green gems surrounding it.

"Yes!" I cried, and Percy slipping the ring onto my finger. He then rose up, and tackled he with a kiss, pressing me against the smooth, bubbly constraints of the bubble. Like the first kiss I had with Percy, I melted. My eyes leaked tears of happiness at the thought of me being with Percy forever. I tried blinking the tears away, but I just couldn't. Percy broke away, and with a huge, beaming smile on his face, he brought us to the surface, hand in hand. When we got up, the campers were standing there, and again, cheered. I couldn't help smile, and I saw Aenon run to Percy to give him a hug. Percy then turned back to the water, and I did to. He let go of my hand, and I was disappointed. However, the next thing made up for it. Out of water, letters formed this phrase: PERCY JACKSON AND REYNA AVILA RAMÍREZ ARELLANO FOREVER

surrounded with a heart. Percy then whistled, and a hippocampus swam up, the body glistening from the water.

"Come on Reyna." Percy said, and I climbed on behind him. He laughed, and a spout of water picked me up and put me in front of Percy. My clothes instantly dried, and the hippocampus suddenly moved forward.

Being on one of the fantastic animals made my heart soar, not to mention being with Percy. It gave me warmth, despite the cold water that was hitting my partially exposed leg. My skirt was a bit pushed up, but I didn't mind. Suddenly, it stopped, and once again, we slid into the water, again in a bubble, this time, Percy went a bit too Disney, and created a bubble carriage pulled by bubble horses, like a fairy godmother of some sort. I laughed, and with Percy sitting next to me, it was a thrill to see all the animals of the sea, even the most hostile ones, like sharks, were calm and kind, swimming around us. I saw schools of fish float by. There was even a baby sea turtle who came into the carriage and plopped onto Percy's hand. I smiled, and he put it back into the water. We suddenly stopped, and Percy told me to close my eyes. I did, and we floated through something, and my clothes dried. I kept my eyes closed, and took a breath. I breathed fine, and this even felt like the land.

"You can open your eyes now." Percy said, and I opened my eyes.

"Oh my gods Percy. It is beautiful." I breathed, and Percy smiled.

"This was my mother's, but she let me take it. If the war with Him is victorious, and we survive, this is where we will live." Percy said, and again, my eyes filled with happy tears. I gave him a tackle kiss, and for once, I didn't feel like something was missing.
