ANNABETH V
I left Percy's cabin to go to the Control centre. Walking there, I thought about the past four years. I sighed, I was never going to get back my Seaweed Brain. I stood out on deck to find the Romans there. "Hey." I greeted them.
"Hi," some of them said back.
"This is where your cabins will be, but some of you will have to share." I leaded them down to the girls section of the ship, and showed, Gwen, Hazel, and Reyna to where they would be staying. I then took the boys to their section of the ship and showed Bobby, Frank and Dakota to where they would be staying.
I went up back on deck, and continued my way to the control centre. I sat down opposite the SMART board and thought about the prophecy.
Eight Children of god's descent,
That was easy, eight of us, Me, Thalia, Jason, Leo, Piper, Nico, Clarisse and Grover. But Grover wasn't of a god's descent, oh wait, yes he was, Satyr's are from the great god of the wild, Pan.
Shall search to their heart's content,
We have searched to out heart's content looking for him.
But against all odds,
They shall find the one who was lost,
We did find Percy, he was the one who was lost, and we almost didn't find the Roman camp.
But a heart shall be broken,
My heart was broken, seeing Percy with that Aphrodite girl.
A child of Athena will be broken.
So that just left the last line, 'A child of Athena will be broken.' I'm a child of Athena so that must mean that I'm going to be broken. Or it could be Reyna, she's a child of Minerva, Athena's Roman form so it still could be her.
While I was thinking about this, I didn't notice somebody coming in behind me. It was Gwen, one of the Roman girls, a daughter of Venus/Aphrodite. She was also Percy's girlfriend.
"Hey Gwen." I said.
"Oh hi, Annabeth." she said. "How are you."
"Fine Gwen, how do you like your cabin?
"It's great Annabeth, I really love it. So, I came to ask you something. Can you tell me a bit about Percy's past? I mean I know he's lost his memories, but I really what to know who he is."
Well, there was no harm telling her, it wasn't like she was going to tell Percy. "Okay Gwen, well I first met Percy when he was 12, he had just finished killing the Minotaur with no weapons or training. Then we went on our first quest, to retrieve the lighting bolt. We did that and along the way he slayed, Medusa, Chimera and many more. Then we travelled to the underworld, gave Hades his Helm of darkness and then gave Zeus back his master bolt. Stopping a war against the gods."
Gwen's eyes widened after I finished that, and she said, "Wow, his did all that?"
"Nope he did more," I laughed, and continued, "Then, Percy, Tyson and I went to the Sea of monsters, went to the Sirens, Circe's island, and then got the Golden Fleece, Clarisse was also there, we rescued Grover, then got the golden fleece, Clarisse took it back, healed the Camp, healed Thalia's Pine a little to well, Thalia was alive again. Then next summer, I was kidnapped by the manticore and Percy, Thalia, Grover, Zoe Nightshade, and Bianca di Angelo, yes Nico's sister. They went on a quest to find me and Artemis or Diana. They found me, and Artemis, I had held the sky, then Artemis came and took it, then Percy took it from Artemis. Then Artemis and Percy tricked Atlas into holding the sky again."
Gwen was there open-mouthed. "So he went on three quests and defeated a titan, wow."
"Nope," I laughed, "he actually went on four quests and three titans."
"Three titans." Gwen said, "Who?"
"Um, Atlas, Hyperion, and Kronos."
"Kronos, the king of the titans?" Gwen asked.
"Yes, and I helped him every time, if I must say."
"Wow, I'm so lucky to be his boyfriend."
"Yes, you are." I muttered under my breath.
"Sorry what was that?" Gwen asked.
"Oh nothing, Gwen. Nothing to worry about. Nice talking to you." and with that I rushed out of the room to my room. I lay there crying. When we were talking about it, it made me remind myself of all the things I did. For the past four years, everything I did was with Percy. I heard someone enter. I looked up, it was Thalia. "Hey Thals." I sniffed.
"Oh Annabeth, what's wrong." She said, probably noticing my puffy red eyes, she came over, sitting on my bed with my head on her lap, comforting me.
"I talked to Gwen, about-about Percy's past, our past. Everything in the past 5 years I have done with Percy." I told her. "She said that that she was lucky to have a boyfriend like Percy, and it just reminded me of all the things that we did. Every time something happened, I was there, with Percy. I can't stand it anymore Thals, it's heart breaking." I sobbed. How could he just forget everything. Hera had to leave something.
"Annabeth, it will all be okay, just you wait and see. It will. Anyway to get you off the subject, I heard that Jason bet that he could beat Percy at sword fighting, want to come and watch?" Thalia said. Getting me up, and pulling me out of my room to the arena.
"Oh and Thalia." I said, when we were almost there, she turned around. "Thanks, thanks for being there." We both smiled and carried on to the arena.
We sat down in our seats next to our Greek friends. All the Romans were at the other side, cheering Jason on. Gwen, of course was cheering Percy on. I watched Jason walking into the Arena with Roman armour on and then Percy from the other, with no armour on, with the curse of Achilles he didn't need any. I hoped he knew how to protect the small of his back, or Jason would beat him just as I had in the arena at the roman camp so many days ago.
A whistle was blown and the fighting began. Jason unsheathed Juno's gladius, and Percy uncapped Riptide. They both swiped, ducked, dashed and slashed at each other. After about 3 minutes of fighting Percy had Jason pinned to the ground with Riptide at his throat. I cheered along with the rest of the Greeks, and of course Gwen.
Percy looked thrilled. He helped Jason up and shook his hand. Jason didn't look too happy but he probably wasn't used to being beaten. I said bye to Thalia, and I walked over to Piper who was hovering between the two stands, Greek and Roman.
"Don't know who to support?" I asked her.
"Yes," Piper replied, "I know I'm Greek, but I love Jason. What do I do Annabeth."
"Well Piper, I'm just going to say follow your heart. Anyway, I wanted to ask you something else, do you want to practice knife fighting. If you want."
"Ok Annabeth, I could use with the help."
We walked to the arena floor, armouring up. This was going to be good. I thought.
