AN: Hey! Sorry for breaking my promise so early, but I had a little trouble with some parts in this chapter, which is why I am uploading today and not on Sunday. From now on, I'll just upload when I can. Also, please make an OC, description down the bottom of last chapter.
Chapter 28- Back to Reality
Percy POV
I look at the tower very close to me, dreading having to go in there. Just the look of it was enough to scare me, the fact that it looked deserted scared me even more. I slowly stand, hoping that the look of it meant that it was deserted.
I slowly walk towards it, my mind turning.
Suddenly I hear a shrew, whistling sound, and I duck on instinct to see an arrow fly over my head. I glance up at the direction it had come from, but I saw nothing. Not one single living being.
I shoot fire at the general direction of where the arrow had come from, and I heard several screams.
They were hiding behind the battlements.
I start shooting fire at the battlements, only to be met by a cloud of arrows. My fire incinerated them luckily, and while they were distracted I rush towards the doors, knocking them open and rushing inside.
I immediately duck, my ADHD instincts saving me.
I spin around, pulling riptide out in a flash and thrust it forwards, straight through the ribcage of my attacker.
I watch the cloaked attacker collapse, him finishing lying on the ground.
I spin around, only to see heaps more cloaked figures surrounding me.
Narrowing my eyes, I shoot out a ring of blue fire straight into the front ranks of warriors.
I then start attacking, shooting out random blasts of flame into my enemies. I swing riptide horizontally, meeting the blade of another warrior, but to his surprise I shoot a quick kick into his stomach, giving me the opportunity to stab him.
I shoot a blast of fire at the monster attempting to get me from behind, and immediately spin around 360 degrees, knocking the blades out of some of their hands.
My mind was churning as I desperately fight off the hooded figures that seemed to never end.
Suddenly, one of them yelled; "What is that!?"
All of the other hooded figures turned to where he was pointing, and lo! A headless cock ran across the room, scrambling around on its little scrawly bird feet.
I stare in disbelief at the headless cock, scrambling around, bumping into all the figures I'd been fighting just recently.
I then realise all of the figures were distracted staring at the cock in wonder?
I dash up the nearest set of stairs, and spin around, and sure enough, I wasn't being followed.
I dash towards the top of the tower, and quickly spot the glowing, purple crystal like thing. I grin a run towards it, knowing it was the portal to the way out.
I leap at it and Bang!
"Arghh" I mumble. "Not the portal."
I get up, groaning at the pain in my head. Gods I was stupid. I immediately start searching around the top of the tower.
I groggily stumble towards an archway, with a purple veil in-between it. I could hear the voices of Humanity through the veil.
On the edge, I was surprised to see a small panel. It had a list of names on it. A long list of names. Inscribed on the top was; choose who you would like to transport back to.
I sigh, and tap on the search icon at the top.
I quickly select Katie Gardiner and jump through.

Third Person POV
Craig looked around the furnished floors of Olympus in confusion. 'Where are the gods? Aren't they supposed to be here to greet the mightiest Immortal demigod of all time?' he thought, as he looked around in annoyance.
"Father?" he asked.
Nothing.
"Where in Hades are they?" Craig asked aloud, his eyes darting around the throne room.
"Where in Hades is who?" a voice snarled.
Craig spun, and saw a figure dressed in black, but a distinct patch of white came out of the top of his hooded cloak.
"The Gods, of course" Craig said, looking at the new comer. "Who the Hades are you?!" Craig asked.
"John" he replied simply.
"John who?" Craig asked sharply.
"John who?" he mimicked in a childish voice.
"Do you know who I am!?" Craig yelled angrily.
"Of course, you're the idiotic son of Zeus with anger problems and a wet nappy on your head" John said, his tone of voice not changing one bit.
Craig's blood boiled and he fired a lightning bolt at John, only for him to duck, but his hood blew off.
"What the Hades?!" Craig yelled in disbelief.
"What?" asked John, frowning.
"Your- Your hair, its pure white, and so is your eyes! But your… your Black!" Craig said in disbelief.
"And…" said John, looking at Craig. "You got a problem with that?"
Craig just stared, his jaw on the floor, and it was at this moment the gods decided to flash in.
"What in Hades?!" yelled Zeus, staring at John.
"Here we go again" John muttered, rolling his eyes.
"But- But your Black! And your hair is pure white, and your eyes are too!" yelled Zeus, jaw dropped.
"Is there someone in here that isn't racist?" John asked, rolling his eyes in annoyance.
"Probably not…" says Apollo.

Percy POV
"Oww…" I say, rubbing my head as I get up off the deck on the 'Sea's Voyage.'
"Percy!" Katie yells.
Everyone immediately gathers round, staring at me.
"Welcome back!" says Annabeth.
Nyx just stood on the deck.
Suddenly, everyone starts cheering and yelling.
"Percy's back!"
"We know!"
"Oh, my gods! He's alive!"
"We know!"
"Yeah! Percy's back!"
"For the last time; we know!"
"Yeah! He is risen!"
"We- never mind"
"Yeah!"
And so on. I just look around at all the demigods gathered on the deck, and sigh. Back to reality, and fighting Order.
AN: Sorry it is way too short for two weeks of no updating, I just haven't had the time with so much studying and assignments. Please forgive me! And don't forget to leave a review.
Should I have done the headless cock part? No? Yes?
Thanks for reading!
Next chapter will be hopefully soon, but I can't make any promises.
