PERCY

It's still hard to believe that we're still alive after our trip to Rome. Percy thought. It was the night the seven returned to Camp Jupiter and they found that some of the campers from Camp Jupiter were dead or injured. Luckily, the Camp Jupiter itself did not suffer much injury.

"You're thinking about our trip to Rome, right?" Annabeth asked, looking at Percy's face.

"Yeah, I was thinking that we made some bad choices that resulted in some of the camper's deaths." Percy replied, staring at the floor.

"It's anyone to blame, it's me!" Annabeth cried out. "Hera was right. I caused the most trouble for you. The deaths are my faults."

"Annabeth, you know that you didn't meant for that incident to happen. It just did, okay? Don't beat yourself up." Percy reassured Annabeth.

"Oh, Percy." Annabeth hugged him and he hugged back.

Later, that night, everyone parted ways and returned to their rooms. Percy thought that he wouldn't fall asleep easily but once his head hit the pillow, he immediately went to Dreamland.

He was standing infront of Gaia. She smiled at him and Percy winced. Son of Poseidon, you may have won the battle at Rome but don't think for one second that you have won this war. The giants will rule.

What do you mean by that? Percy asked and Gaia laughed. The battle at Rome isn't the hardest obstacle you have to jump. Many more harder obstacles will come and you,Perseus Jackson, will fail and the giants will rule the earth as they are supposed to.

No! We, the gods and demigods, will fight back. The giants will never raise. Percy argued back. Gaia continued laughing. You are too ignorant, Perseus Jackson. Too ignorant. With that, Gaia disappeared and Percy woke up.

"What did she mean? More obstacles to come?" Percy wondered, his hand in his hand. "The trip to Rome was hard enough and there's more coming up?"

The next morning, at breakfast, Reyna gave Camp Jupiter a speech. "I know that the last few months were hard on Camp Jupiter. It is true that we suffered many losses and the deaths of our campers." Reyna continued talking but Percy blocked her voice out. He turned to his friends and whispered about his dream last night.

"This is bad. Really bad." Piper said once Percy finished talking.

"What could be the worst than Rome? There were so many deaths already." Frank asked, worry in his face.

"Did any of you get any dreams last night, too?" Percy asked. Everyone shook their heads but he knew Annabeth well enough to know that she was keeping something from them. He resolved to ask her later.

"Maybe Gaia was bluffing." Hazel started to say and everyone looked at her. "I meant, maybe Gaia really have another obstacle. But, it may not be as dangerous as Gaia made it looked like. Maybe she's trying to scare us."

"Hazel's right. But there's very little chance of that happening. Gaia is older than us by don't know how many years and she's the earth goddess. She knows many more horrible monsters than us and she can easily make them go after us." Jason reasoned with everyone.

"Still, we still have to keep our guard on. We don't know what tricks Gaia could spring on us." Percy said and everyone nodded solemnly. Unable to withstand the heavy tension in the air, Percy managed a smile on his face as he cheekily went on, "But let's not sweat it, there's no point. For now, let's just enjoy the peace that we have."

At that, the group beamed smiles of their own. Percy was right; the present was what's important and there was no use worrying of what might happen. There was peace.
