For mortals, they just thought the storm was just sudden cloudiness. For the demigods, they thought something had upset Zeus or Poseidon again. The gods and goddesses are at Olympud talking about what happened. Neither did Poseidon or Zeus did this. Nor the other weather gods would confessed to be a part of that storm.

Thalia was staring up at the sky. The storm came so sudden and went away sudden also. Right now, it looked like nothing had happened just now. She thoiught of all the possibilities but none of them makes sense. Her little brother Jason wouldn't do that. Plus, he doesn't have control with rain. The minor gods wouldn't have done this either. What is the point even? The only other two she thought of was Poseidon and him...

But Thalia knew they wouldn't done that. The storm seem like someone summoned it out of anger and Thalia knew that the sea can't be restrained. Once its unleashed, its unleashed.

" Who could have both control of thunder and water." She muttered it to herself. She couldn't think of anyone. Thalia decided the best one who would give her the best answer would be her best friend. She took out a drachma and went to the river and dropped it in. She prayed to Iris and there popped up the famililar immortal daughter of Athena. The architect of Olympus and the ex-girlfriend of Perseus Jackson.

" Good to see you again Thalia. I assume it isn't just a simple hello? " Annabeth greeted the daughter of Zeus. She was at Olympus right now designing a new statue for Apollo. The daughter of Zeus smiled warmly at her little sister and best friend.

" Good to see you too Annie. Yeah, it isn't. I was just going to ask you something. But if you're busy we might as well as wait for a while." She replied back. The daughter of Athena just shrugged.

" The statue could wait. I don't think Apollo would mind if his statue is slightly late. " Annabeth said before summoning a glass of water.

" Right, who do you think created the storm?" Thalia asked directly. Annabeth took a sip of her water and then shrugged.

" No clue. The storm just appeared suddenly and dissappear suddenly and quickly too. No evidence of damage or appearance was even shown on the scene." Annabeth told her. Thalia just sighed. This was even more mysterious than she had thought.

" Do you think he did it." Thalia asked carefully while Annabeth drank her water. Annabeth stopped and choke slightly at the mention of him.

" He's dead Thalia. It can't be him." She answered her blankly. Annabeth's hand clenched at the mention of him. It had been 500 years and there was not even one bit of news about his whereabouts. The seven had given up on searching. She had respected his decisions of not wanting to see them and now she's secretly suffering from it. It just she was never good at expressing it.

" But Ni-." Thalia started.

" Nico said he's not dead but how can he not be? He is a demigod and he will continue to be until he's dead. The gods surely will feel something if someone was turn immortal right? Plus, there are thousand of souls down there and who knows if he just went immediately for reincarnation." Annabeth interrupted with a blank tone. Her stormy gray eyes says different however. It was full of pain, regret, and misery.

Nothing had been the same ever since his dissappearance. Annabeth became broken and the seven fell into misery and guilt. Regrets surrounded the demigods and gods. Poseidon took it the worst...

He blamed himself for not being there for Percy. He blamed himself because he knew Percy needed support and comfort. But being the king of the seas weren't easy and when he got the news that Percy his son had ran away. He took the blame. He became someone who no one had expected him to be. A serious and intelligent person who rules his reign seriously and making it flourish. The sea had became a main source to both mortals and mythology. The impact of Percy's dissappearance had some good and most bad. Since Poseidon never been the same again.

Athena who would always argue with him could never ever done that again. He would always ignore it or make up of an excuse to leave. Thalia felt anger rised up. Here is her best friend accepting her cousin is now a goner.

" You never know Annabeth! He could be alive somewhere! Can't you just take some time off and search for him once again. I know you have move on bu-." She was stopped by Annabeth.

" Moved on? How am I able to move on when we are the cause of his dissappearance!" Annabeth yelled. She had finally snapped. All those years of hiding her pain, she had finally snapped. People had thought she had moved on. But how can she when she was the cause of his dissappeance. Her heart clenched and she balled up her hands.

" How am I able to move on when I was the last straw? Tell me Thalia. Tell me! How am I able to forget what happened 500 years ago when I was the one who drove him out to the woods. Hades knows if he is alive or not!" She yelled. Tears slowly streamed down her face. The daughter of Athena had finally broke. She had held strong and firm. But guilt and regret had finally catched on and finally she broke down.

" What do you mean? I know we betrayed him but it seems like you're talking about something else?" Thalia asked tilting her head slightly. The daughter of Athena looked shock for a moment and then just chuckled.

" Of course you wouldn't know..." She chuckled weakly.

" 500 years ago, Sally was pregnant with a baby girl. They were rushing to the hospital when...a drunk person drove his car right into...theirs. Paul and Sally was rushed into the hospital but... they could only save the baby. Sally made Percy promised to take care of the child." Annabeth explained while Thalia had a tear leaked out. The guilt came back to her.

" Percy wanted to leave the mythology world and took care of his baby sister. But the only thing that stopped him was us. We were the reason why he didn't stand up and leave. But I was angry at him for even having that thought. Maybe I was also jealous that he was able to do that. He was strong enough to leave and the monsters that will come after him will just killed. I was jealous that he was so strong that he was able to defend himself in the outer world where demigods just get attack right after they leave the borders. I was selfish and I made a mistake. I drove him out." She continued. The tears continued to flow as she remembered that day again.

" I really sincerely hope you're happy. I didn't make you happy but... I wish Landon makes you happy. Hope you well ... Wise girl." He said.

It was what he said before he left. His last words to her. It hurts so much to think about it. Both girls had tears streaming down their face. Each had pain that was undescribable.

" I just wish I could say sorry." Annabeth said sobbing her heart out. The forest was filled with the cries of the young immortal. In the woods, Artemis watched silently at the scene. She never exactly knew how much Perseus meant for them. It was something that she and her brother never exactly had. They watch out for each other but in a way that most people don't do. Artemis may speak bad things about her brother but she genuinely care about him and that is same with Apollo just he doesn't say anything negative about her.

" Maybe I should tell the truth..." She muttered. But little did she know that someone else was also spying on the two girls.

" What truth?" Phoebe thought before walking back. Her thoughts were still on the truth Artemis had mention.

End.

" When you have eliminated the impossible whatever remains however improbable must be the truth."
