AN: Hi fellow humans! Yesterday I uploaded the first chapter of my second story; The Mysterious Wanderer. Be sure to check it out and review if you like it. Anyways lets get down to this story. This one is rather short being it a filler and I don't have any idea what to write her or go on so I take a small break from this story. I will try to figure out how to go on with this story in the vacation and update as soon as possible. I will not stop if you guys think that, not even in thousand years. I just don't know how to go one. If you have any ideas leave them in the reviews or PM me.

I think that that was called a writers block am I right? Wow I am bad.

If you want any chapters being upload by me, check out my other story which I have planned out pretty good. Next chapter of it will be up tomorrow.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.


Chapter 24

"Apollo!" Percy screamed in his ear trying to wake him up. After Apollo had told the prophecy Percy lost control over the car and now they were crashing into the peaceful earth under them. Percy tried to take over the control of the sun chariot again but it did not let him. He tried to think of a reason to not let it crash into the earth and make dead Percy meat. An idea came into his mind and he did the unthinkable; Percy walked over towards Apollo and slapped him straight onto the cheek.

"WHAT THE HADES?!" Apollo roared and it looked like he was going to kill Percy any moment now. Percy motioned outside and he saw that they were crashing into the earth. He went to sit on the chair calmly and he pulled up just in time to not crash into the earth. "Close call Percy. Close call. Why did I black out Percy?" He asked.

"You gave a prophecy and I was so shocked about the outcome that I lost controls over the chariot and I could not redeem the controls afterwards. So I well.. slapped you." Percy replied honestly. Apollo had now gotten control of the sun chariot and again they were now flying around peacefully.

"Thank you Percy. You are a special demigod, not many would want to risk it to slap a god in the face. Now let me bring you back to camp." Apollo said and he headed towards the camp. "So what did I say about the prophecy?" He asked after a time.

Percy thought for a moment and searched for the memory of the prophecy he repeated it in his mind and then he had remembered it fully.

The chosen son of Poseidon goes on a quest,
to save the one he loves best,
together with companion he goes west,
more companions come through time,
only to meet the wrath of divine,
one of two survive the fight during a crime,
many shall be lost,
one at the hand of a father's cost.

"That surely does not sound good." He mumbled and he got a message in his head which made it even worse. "I have to start the quest immediately when we reach camp and I have to assign you as quest leader as you are the only one that is Poseidon's kid. The fates want me to do that all for you and for camp." He murmerred the last part out like he hated it but he changed immediately when camp came in sight. "Let's make a scene and let them know that we are coming."

A bright light was visible from camp and lots of campers were starring at them in awe. 'What was that?' Everybody was thinking, first they all thought that it was dangerous but when all the Apollo campers began to cheer can called for their father and chiron smirked, they all dropped their weapons and just began to stare at it. The light neared fast now and temperature increased slightly, with a bang the light went out and it went cold. A few campers screamed and gasped, but after 5 seconds the light went on again but then behind them. Now all campers who were watching the scene screamed because they were startled by the sudden appearance of light and eat.

"Good Morning, Campers!" Apollo yelled over the screams. the lights dimmed and they saw three figures standing inside the light in front of a Ferrari. "I present to you, The most awesome god of the world named Apollo, the mighty Percy Jackson and the fearsome Paralia." All the campers laughed and they could clearly hear a face palm which than would have probably come from Percy. The light dimmed and they could see Apollo smiling like an idiot and Percy still in the face palm mode. They all laughed at the sight and some even began to roll by the sight.

"What do we have this privilege for Lord Apollo?" Chiron asked while bowing slightly.

Apollo's face turned serious and so did the other campers when they saw his face. "I am here to announce a new quest. A quest led by Perseus Jackson to save Annabeth Chase."


Katie, Malcolm, Beckendorf, Will and Chiron were sitting around a table of the big house they all wanted to hear his story. They could all see that he had changed over the past few days and they all wanted to hear his story. "Percy what happened while you were away?" Chiron asked and the other nodded like they wanted the answer too.

Percy sighed and looked at Paralia who laid comfortable at the side of his seat. He nodded and said Don't hide anything. They deserve to know and need to know.

Okay I am going to start from the beginning. Percy replied. "Well It all started eight months ago I guess. The day I had my first dream...-" Percy told for 6 hours non-stop, telling all his mini quests to save Annabeth. Chiron ordered food somewhere in the middle and they ate while he was talking on. When he came to the part that Perses was implanted in his mind Chiron interrupted his telling "How did he get there?"

"I don't know Chiron, but I think there is a traitor in camp." Percy replied with no emotion shown on his face. He had some ideas who it could be, but he was not going to jump in without any clues. "Someone must have planted it in me, only a camper could have done it."

"Then let's try to find it when you finished your story." Chiron said while being deeply in his thoughts. "Go on my boy." He said while waving his hand. And so Percy began the story of the battle with Perses. They all looked at him with awe and Chiron gave him a suspicious look. 'Who is this boy?' He thought 'This one can't be a normal child. There is something special with him.'

He was awaken from his thoughts by Percy "What do we do now Chiron? Are we going to look for the traitors?"

"Yes we are, but keep it silent from the other campers. Keep an eye open and eavesdrop if you find something suspicious. Tell me if you have new information or if you have discovered something important." Chiron said and all others in the room nodded in agreement. "Now council dismissed, we've got a traitor to find."

Chairs were pushed back so the people who were sitting on it could stand up. They all came to Percy to pat him on the back or give him courageous words for just a moment but Malcolm and Katie stayed a little longer. Malcolm began to talk. "Jackie missed you Percy. He constantly talks about you and your deeds. You need to speak with him or else I am going to die if he speaks one more word of the fight with mars and your illusion title."

The three began to laugh out loud and Percy felt really good to act normal again around his friends. A month ago he would be there sitting all the time letting his mind wander and think if things he did wrong. He still thought about Annabeth though. He will always do. "I will pay him a visit later." He replied and Katie and Malcolm smiled at the enthusiasm he was showing. He had truly changed over a few days even if it was through a disease.

"You look better Percy. The trip did you good." Malcolm said while looking at his face. Before the trip it would look like a skeleton straight from the Underworld with a soul ripped from a madman out of Tartarus. Now it had the old Percy look only with a bit of worry though but they all had it these days.

Katie noticed this too and immediately knew what it was. "We will find her Percy don't worry about that. The quest will go well and you are not going to fail."

Percy looked into her eyes and smiled "Thank you Katie, for the first time in months there is hope and we all know what hope means;-" Before he could give the answer Malcolm did it for him. "Succes."

"Indeed." Percy said and together with the three of them plus Paralia they walked out.


Percy had just walked around camp to see it for the first time in months in a positive way. A lot of campers had arrived and the ranks had thickened a lot. Campers still looked with fear at him, but some who had known him from before the eight months saw that he had changed. Some even came to have a little talk and when they saw that the old Percy Jackson they were all very happy. He was walking over towards the Athena cabin when two figure interfered his path. It were Thalia and Luke. He eyed them warily not knowing if he could trust them. He saw that the golden shades in Luke's eyes had increased a lot and Thalia on the other hand looked really normal or better said very attached to Luke so probably everything he did she would do too.

"Can you walk with us?" Luke asked him and they both eyed him with mixed expressions angry, non-understanding and stunned.

"No sorry. I was just planning on visiting someone." Percy said not feeling right about this, he wanted to walk away but he was stopped by an outstretched arm of Thalia.

"Please Percy. We really want to talk to you." Thalia insisted.

Percy looked at them and tried to figure out why they would want to talk with him. "What do you guys want to talk about?"

Luke grinned and answered "About the last eight months, we think we can help you, and about the upcoming quest."

Percy thought for a few seconds and eventually he gave in. "Okay guys, but not more than an hour. I really need to pay someone a visit."

Thalia and Luke grinned and they walked towards the forest with Percy in between them. They made the trek to god knows where in silence and after five minutes of bloody silence they arrived at an open place that Percy had never seen. The sides were very dense and the trees here were very green looking. The ground was looking dead with no grass and flowers and only brown earth under them.

"Why don't you just die Percy?" Luke asked while turning towards them.

Percy tensed and he summoned his trident and shield preparing for any attack that would be incoming. "What do you mean luke?"

"Oh you know what I mean Percy." He said with a clenched jaw. "You can't just die or go mad can't you?"

Then in Percy's head the drachma fell. "You?! Are you the traitor in our camp who implanted Perses in me?"

Thalia coughed "Don't forget me." She added playfully and Luke punched her softly on the shoulder.

"Yes indeed Percy. We are the traitors who work for the enemies. The gods use you as a pawn for their plans Percy. Imagine how a world would look like without the selfish gods watching over you and planning to kill you, like they did the last time when you got on Olympus." Luke told him, but Percy did not want to hear anything of it. "Join us Percy. Join me and together we could serve Kronos and take over the world."

Percy did not even have to think about the offer. Sure there were certain gods who were not the best one, but it was prejudice to then just say that all the gods were like that. There surely where some nice and kinds gods in this world. "No Luke. I am not going to join you and side with Kronos. I am not that low." He spat.

Luke laughed together with Thalia and said "You can't deny Percy. It is or join us or die." With that Thalia made her move and caught Percy by surprise and she easily pinned Percy on the floor. "Oh Percy. Not so mighty now huh?"

Percy began to move around rapidly to get himself loose, but Thalia's grip was firm. His hands were now pinned to the ground with lightning rods and he was not being able to move anymore. There was only one way out. "Do you really not want to join us and become one of the rulers of a god free world?" Luke said and he began to open a box which revealed a scorpion. Percy smiled at the sight, scorpions were animals of destruction and maybe he could use them in his advantage. Luke laid it on his chest and Percy closed his eyes and sent a pulse towards the scorpion. 'Don't attack me.' It was short, but it was clear enough for the scorpion and the scorpion began to wander around on his body. Percy concentrated on his deity powers and he began to gain power via destruction happening all over the world, it surely is handy to have one domain all for yourself after Poseidon gave his domain away to Percy, it came with these advantages. When he had gained enough power he opened his eyes and Luke and Thalia saw two black eyes watching them. They were so pitch black that it was scary.

"Go! Before I will unleash my wrath upon you! Free traitors!" Percy said while laughing. He was not going to die today, but maybe they would.

Luke was starring right into the eyes of Percy and fear was clearly visible in his eyes. "Who are you?" He managed to bring out.

Percy grinned "You don't want to know." With that said Percy's body began to change shape and he now looked like a black cloud and only Percy knew that this was destruction. He could manage almost anything in this form, but it was also very dangerous. Thalia sprang up and ran over to Luke who was slowly walking backwards towards the only exit. Percy lunged forward and touched Thalia's and Luke's forehead. He was about to cause destruction inside them. Thalia fell to the floor while screaming her lungs out, it clearly worked with her, but with Luke it did not have any effect.

"You can't hurt me Percy." Luke said and he thrust his sword forward. The cloud dodged the sword with amazing speed.

"You can't kill me either, traitor!" Percy in cloud for said and the cloud began to grow. It was growing fast and it was creating a sphere around Thalia and Luke. When it reached the boundaries of the open place it stopped expending.

Luke ran for the barrier and tried to walk through it, but he was thrown back. "Now I demand answers." A voice said that came from nowhere.

"I don't give any to you Percy!" Luke yelled while turning around often to search for a sign of Percy.

"Why did you betray us Luke?" The booming voice asked.

"The gods use us as pawns Percy. They don't care about their children and once in a while a demigod like you comes up. A demigod raised by their godly parent." Luke explained. "I was so disgusted by you and then you became close to Annabeth. She was never worthy for you and now she is back where she belongs. With us"

Percy had no idea if that meant that Annabeth joined their side but he knew that she would never do that. "She didn't join you!" Percy yelled and Luke nodded.

"Not yet Percy, but eventually she will join our ranks and defeat all the pawns of the gods and then the gods themselves. You are obliged to loose Percy, you always were." Luke said and she slowly began to disappear into a bright light leaving Thalia together with him in camp.

He changed back into his human form and lifted up the curse of destruction which Thalia had a minute ago. She turned back to normal and her eyes wandered around to look for Luke "He ran away that coward."

Thalia stayed silent and Percy made bonds of his metal water and they began to walk to the big house. Chiron was not going to like this together with Zeus and Hermes.
