Whew- Final chapter!

I'm so glad if you're reading this that you came this far- I really enjoyed writing this story!

While there were many good suggestions of who's POV to do this chapter in, I settled on this person because it mirrors the beginning (sort of), but also because I felt their perspective could finish the story off and tie off all the ends.

Shortish chapter, but its just a wrap-up.

I just want to say a huge thank you who reviewed- please do it one last time! I hope you enjoy the final chapter!

Chapter24

Eva

The aftermath of the battle felt surreal. After two weeks of non-stop fighting and monsters and stress, Eva almost wasn't able to believe it was all over.

The monsters were all reduced to dust now. Since the gate had been re-opened by Kratos and their parents, plus a bunch of other fighters, had arrived as back-up, they had easily over-powered the monsters.

The threat of Kakia was gone too. Kane had destroyed him, with the help of Kratos, as Mark's prophecy had foretold. Chiron assured them all that Kakia wouldn't be back again.

They were now in Camp Half-Blood, a few hours since the battle. Leo had his arm around Eva, Calypso almost tearing up. The Valdez family was enjoying their downtime, after being split for too long.

"Well done, mijos," Leo said affectionately. "And, Ant, you did great with the ship. And Lina, I heard your fire powers are really developing!"

Soon they all gathered in the campfire area. Chiron calmed everyone down.

Eva spotted the Graces, and she smiled at Amy, who was having a cut on her arm healed. Maia and the rest of her family weren't too far off either. Eva exchanged a look with Maia. Kane hadn't been out of the infirmary for long, and was sticking near Chiron, every now and then glancing nervously at Maia.

Eva had been angry at him at first, but it hadn't lasted. Kane had made a mistake, one he regretted- but he had made up for it when he had returned to fight Kakia. Without him, Eva knew that they wouldn't be standing here.

Not only that, when Kane had explained how Kraken had forced him to join their sides, Eva had been shocked.

Still, if Kane hurt her friend again, Eva wouldn't be so forgiving. Not that she thought it was likely that would happen.

Further on, the Zhangs. She caught Michael's eyes, and they stared at each other for a second, before Eva's cheeks reddened and she turned away. She hadn't properly spoken to Michael yet since they had kissed. She didn't know what was happening there. All she knew was that she liked Michael.

Chiron started to speak. "Campers, Legionnaires, Demigods, Legacies. As you all know, we have just won the battle against the elder titan Kakia. For that, every single one of you may feel pride. But it is also true that this started before today. This battle started with a quest, which several brave legacies went on, a quest to rescue some of the finest heroes in recent generations. As you know is customary, the laurel wreaths are presented to the Children of Heroes who proved themselves. The Children of the Prophecy."

And as Eva went up for her laurel wreath, around the blazing campfire, Eva finally felt like she was safe and at home once again.

The atmosphere was buzzing. The Jacksons had invited the other families of the seven, plus Rachel and Mark, Tyson and Ella, Grover and Juniper, Reyna and Malcolm, Nico and Will, as well as Thalia for one massive celebratory dinner.

Most of the moms were in the kitchen cooking, the other adults in the living room, and the children were in the huge fields.

Eva right now was talking to Maia and Amy, as in the distance she saw Ant, Damian, Reid, Adam, Emma, Aria, Lily and Mark playing some small version of Capture the Flag in the distance. It felt nice to be so relaxed after the pressure of the quest.

"So," Eva nudged Maia, "what's happening between you and Kane?"

"Yeah," Amy chimed in, "now that we know he's not evil and all."

Maia blushed. "Well… he apologised before and told me he loved me. And about an hour ago, he asked me out."

Eva grinned. "Tell me you said yes?"

Maia smirked. "I said yes."

Amy squealed, letting her mom's side show. "I hate myself for reacting like this, but I'm so glad you two are finally going out. Now all that's left is Eva, to see where her love life is going."

Maia grinned again, and shared a look with Eva, knowing about her kiss with Michael. Before she could tell Amy, Michael and Kane approached them.

Kane kissed Maia, who blushed. "You look beautiful," Kane told Maia, who just playfully slapped him.

"Can I speak to you, Eva?" Michael asked. Eva nodded, and followed Michael.

Michael turned around when they were further away, and out of sight, taking Eva's hand in his own.

"Look, Eva," he took a deep breath. "I really like you, and I was just wondering… well maybe, if you wanted to… I thought-"

Eva cut him off, kissing him on the lips. Michael responded. They broke apart.

"Yes," Eva told Michael.

Michael grinned at her.

They were all sitting inside, around the dinner table. As they finished their meals, Piper stood up.

"Guys, I just want to say, on behalf of everyone who was rescued here- we are so proud of you. And thank you for rescuing us."

Leo grinned. "Yep. Of course, you had a pretty awesome example."

"Leo!" Calypso scolded, as the kids started to laugh.

"Ok, ok fine." Leo put his hands up. "But seriously. You guys did good."

And as Eva sat there, around the dinner table with the people she cared about, Eva realised Leo was right. They had done good.

They had rescued their parents, and saved their home. Order was restored, and Eva had come off all the better along the way.

The prophecy had been fulfilled. The quest was completed. For now, the legacies had done what was needed.

And that was more than enough.

The End.
