Author's note, this took longer than I intended, but I finally got it done. I hope you enjoy it.

Percy's Point of view

When I saw the pilum flying at me I reacted quickly, I used my time powers to slow it down enough that once it reached me I was able to grab it easily rather than being skewered. I knew someone had obviously thrown it but I didn't see who or even where exactly they were. I had thought everyone left at Camp Jupiter liked me, apparently not.

After I avoided being stabbed, Jupiter spoke up again. "Praetors, make sure you find out who did that, and that they receive the proper punishment!"

"We will my lord," Reyna promised. She was clearly just as shocked as we were by the unexpected attack. Honestly, I wasn't too concerned about the whole situation, sure it would be nice to know who tried to kill me and they should definitely make sure that they won't try something like that again, I just didn't think the person was much of a threat to me. I was a god after all, and I was learning my powers quickly so I was sure I could easily defeat whatever demigod or legacy had tried to kill me.

The other gods started to leave, Jupiter and Juno were the first ones to leave, but the others soon followed. while they were leaving I started walking toward the assembled legionaries. Although I was headed toward Reyna, Frank, and Hazel in particular. While I walked toward them I looked at the shaft of the Pilum to see what number was on it, that would probably tell us which cohort the person who attacked me was in. I figured that knowing that would help Frank and Reyna get started on finding out who had thrown it.

My mom was still with me so she followed me over to meet my friends. I introduced them to her, and we all spoke for a while. They already knew what my domains were, so Hazel asked me if I'd manipulated time in order to stop the pilum. I confirmed that I had. I also told them what number was on the Pilum. I was probably going to leave soon, but before I did there was one more thing I wanted to do while I was there.

While I was talking to my friends, I had made a decision. I knew I wouldn't visit camp Jupiter every day so I wanted to have someone there who would contact me if they noticed anything unusual occurring that the praetors couldn't take care of themselves. I also wanted the person to be able to help protect the camp. I would also give them more power to help with protecting the camp while I couldn't be there.

I chose Reyna to be that person since I trusted her and she knows the camp like the back of her hand since she's been there for a long time. Not only that but being a praetor would help her fulfill the role. I told the others that I wanted to speak to her alone for a minute, and then we went to the Principia. I explained the role I had come up with for her and she agreed to it. After that, I gave her my full blessing. I would also come back soon to help her train with the new abilities I'd given her. Eventually, Mom and I left, I knew I would see Frank, Hazel, and Reyna again soon enough since I would visit the camp frequently because I am the god of heroes.

After Mom and I left Camp Jupiter we went to my dad's palace Dad told me about what had happened at the meeting while I was gone and I was pretty surprised that Athena had defended me against her own daughter. I could tell that Dad was still angry from the attack at Camp Jupiter and I think he wanted to find the person who did it himself. Mom and I managed to calm him down and convinced him to let Frank and Reyna handle it. If they didn't figure it out I could go use my powers to help find out who had attacked me.

I left Mom with my Dad and went to my dad's palace on Olympus since that's where I was staying until my palace was built. My life seemed to be changing so fast, it didn't seem that long since I had chosen to accept godhood after Annabeth ditched me. Now I am progressing quickly through my training and I know I love Amber. I would be seeing her again soon since Her birthday was only a couple of days away. Not only was I planning to go to her party, but I also planned to do something special for her not just because of her birthday but also because we'd been together for almost three months now.

I also knew that my parents would have to start planning their wedding because it would probably be soon. Overall the day so far had gone well, the demigods knew about me now and most of them seemed to have accepted me. I was happy with my life now and so far I didn't regret accepting godhood. I thought that even if I had regretted it the other gods wouldn't agree to change me back. If I even asked, Zeus would probably get offended and try to punish me somehow.

I don't think I need to worry about that though because I don't want to go back to being a demigod. My life is much easier now so why would I ever want to go back to having to fight monsters all the time wondering if one might eventually get the better of me. No, I definitely didn't want that.

Not much else happened that day, I had a training session with Apollo and when I was on my way back to my palace I heard someone call my name. the voice sounded familiar although I didn't figure out who it was until I turned around to look.

"Athena?" I said confused and surprised.

"Hello, Perseus,"

she continued, "I wanted to apologize for how I have treated you,

I assumed you were just like your father, and that you would cause our downfall due to your fatal flaw. Now it is clear that you are neither of those things. Can we put all that behind us and start over?

I was silent for a few moments as I considered what to say. I mean she had suggested killing me at the winter solstice meeting after I had helped rescue Artemis. Despite that, I replied, "Sure Athena, we can start over,"

That was when something else occurred to me, I said, "Athena, would you train with me some time? I don't want to lose the skill that I already have, and I don't want to ask Ares since he would probably take the fight too seriously and try and kill me,"

She replied, "Sure Perseus, but you're going to lose,"

"We'll see about that," I replied, although I knew she would be a tough opponent to beat.

On the day of our first training session, We both met at the Arena on Olympus. she quickly summoned her spear while I summoned Riptide. we stood facing each other, both prepared for the other to strike. I struck first, but she blocked my blow with her spear. We were both good fighters, after all, she is the goddess of battle strategy, and I'm the god of swordsmanship. We watched each other closely trying to anticipate what the other's next move would be. over and over again our weapons clashed together. Neither one of us had managed to wound the other yet.

when it came to skill with our weapons we were probably equals, but for obvious reasons, she had the upper hand when it came to strategizing. I used just about every sword technique I knew, I also tried not to use the same techniques too often. Despite all this, she managed to stop me every time.

I was the first one to land a blow when I did something Athena didn't expect. I used a sword technique that definitely wasn't ancient Greek. I guessed that because I am the god of swordsmanship l automatically knew many different fighting styles, not just the greek style that I had been taught at camp.

In the end, she still won, but this wouldn't be the only time we would spar, and I would make sure that I would win as soon as possible. Sure I could have defeated her easily if I had used my powers, but I felt like that would have been cheating. This was just a practice fight after all so it wasn't absolutely necessary for me to win.

Annabeth's POV

I was at the beach waiting for my boyfriend Stephen. He had said he would meet me here. I assumed he had planned a surprise date or something, but nothing unusual was set up there. I had a bad feeling that a date wasn't why he'd called me here. It was only a day ago that I'd learned my ex-boyfriend Percy had become an olympian god. That had been shocking, I just hoped I wouldn't get any more shocking news anytime soon.

I quickly spotted Stephen coming toward me. He wasn't carrying anything that might indicate that this was a date. He wasn't carrying anything at all.

As he reached me He said, "Annabeth I can't do this anymore,"

"What?" I asked, not sure what he meant. I was just hoping he didn't mean what I thought he might.

He replied, "I can't be with you anymore,"

That was what I was afraid he'd say.

"Why? I thought you love me!" I replied shocked.

"I do, it's you who's never really loved me,"

"What of course I love you! I wouldn't still be with you if I didn't,"

"You might have some feelings for me, but I can tell that you also still have feelings for Percy Jackson,"

"No I don't I wouldn't have gotten with you if I did,"

"You may be in denial, but I can tell, you've never truly loved me Annabeth, and until you move on from him we are over,"

I was shocked once again, my boyfriend had just dumped me when I was sure there was nothing wrong with our relationship. He thought I still loved Percy, but I didn't think I did. As Stephen walked away I stared after him in shock. Could he be right? did I still have feelings for Percy? After I could no longer see Stephen I walked to my mother's cabin, I went inside it and sat down on my bed. Some of my siblings were also there either reading or working on some project of their own. most of them didn't even acknowledge me as I entered the cabin. I sat there silently my mind racing wondering if Stephen could have possibly been right.

Why does aphrodite always have to make my love life so difficult? my eyes were filled with tears but I was trying to hold them back as I tried to figure out who it was I really loved. I'd thought I loved Stephen but was I truly over Percy. I'd gotten with Stephen and broken up with Percy because I thought I no longer loved Percy. Now I am so confused about who I truly love. I can make battle plans with ease, but right now I'd almost rather fight an army of monsters than face the mess that my love life has become.

Part of me wanted to talk to Stephen and try and convince him that I didn't still have feelings for Percy. but part of me wanted to try and talk to Percy to see if he would take me back. I knew from how he'd spoken to me at the meeting that he was obviously still mad at me, but maybe I could make him see why he should get over it and take me back. I knew I had hurt him when I broke up with him, so he had the right to be mad, I just hoped he could forgive me.
