Author's Note: Hey Everybody! Asmodeus here. Welcome back to the final chapter of Greco-Egyptian Convergence!

Special Shoutout: Before we begin the chapter, I'd like to give a shoutout to Athena Hope. The sole moderator on my brand new Discord Server (more in the ending AN). She also got the first look at this chapter and went to town with edits. It's greatly appreciated, Athena.

Also, Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans! I finished the chapter in the early morning hours yesterday and figured I would wait until today to post it so you all could enjoy it in the absence of the company you would normally have over for dinner.

Hullo everybody, Sadie here! That took way too bloody long. I mean, sure, Setne's an evil rat bastard, but, still.

[May I remind you that it was technically your and Carter's fault that he was loose in the first place?]

[Shut up, Zia. You know that was the only way we could've beaten Apophis]

Anyway, after cheeseburgers at P.J. Clarke's, Percy and I kissed goodbye before heading back to our respective homes — Percy to Camp Half-Blood and me to the Twenty-First Nome.

When I got back to the Twenty-First Nome, Carter, and Zia were all sitting at the kitchen counter with mugs of coffee in their hands. As I walked into the room, they both looked up and Zia asked "How did your date with Percy go?" with a smirk.

Carter then added, "Do I need to beat the shit out of him?"

I laughed, for what seemed like the first time since the whole Setne ordeal. "It was great, thanks, Zia. As for you, Carter, Percy would be the one beating the shit out of you, as you so eloquently put it."

I sighed thoughtfully, reminiscing over all the time I'd spent with Percy, and said, "He's amazing, really. Honestly, Zia, if you both were single, I might try and get you two together. He's a strong fighter, but his loyalty is always to his friends."

After I made that comment, Carter and Zia glanced at one another before rolling their eyes heavensward and remarking, "She really likes him."

I groaned and said, "Well, no shit Sherlock and Watson. I wouldn't be dating him otherwise. Especially considering he's half a decade older than I am."

Carter then scrunched his eyes together, like he was thinking intently about something. "You called us Sherlock and Watson. Who's who?"

I rolled my eyes, and replied, "The fact that you're asking that question makes it even more clear in my eyes. Zia's Sherlock, you're Watson. Let's be real here — you couldn't find your way out of a paper bag without Zia to guide you through it."

Carter placed his right hand over his heart and gasped, "You wound me, little sister."

Now it was my turn to look at Zia, causing us to roll our eyes heavensward as we said, "Shut up Carter."

Zia then gave him a nice, playful, jab in the shoulder. When Carter asked what that was for, she simply said, "You were being a moron."

The rest of the night pretty much proceeded the same way, with Carter, Zia, and I all making subtle jabs at each other while the initiates were in their rooms doing homework, or sleeping in the case of the Ankle-Biters.

Soon enough, Zia retired back to her room, leaving just me and Carter alone in the kitchen. I turned to him and sighed. "Want to talk on the balcony?" I asked in a hushed voice.

He silently nodded and we walked outside, looking out at the clear night sky over the East River. The stars, for once, were rather bright. We could make out constellations, such as Orion, Taurus, Gemini, and Percy's favorite - The Huntress, which had mysteriously appeared out of nowhere a few years back.

Of course, I knew that it hadn't come from nowhere. Percy told me the full story about what happened on his quest to save Artemis during December of 2006 — 3 years ago now. It was no wonder that The Huntress was his favorite constellation, considering he'd known her when she was alive.

As I took in the sights, Carter said, "Well, Setne's trapped for good, it would seem."

I sighed and said, "He is, but at what cost? Because of him, many people were injured on the train that derailed when you and Annabeth were chasing Serapis, who also pretty much re-leveled Rockaway Beach. Not to mention all the property damage caused by the petsuchos and whatever else Setne did we still don't know about."

Carter slung his arm around my shoulders, "I understand where you're coming from, Sadie, I've thought about it too. The way I choose to think of it is by asking what would the cost have been if we hadn't done what we had done? How many more people would have been injured, or Ra forbid, killed?"

I sighed, "Thanks Carter, I needed that."

He smiled softly and said, "That's what I'm here for." He abruptly shifted the conversation, adding on, "So, how are things with you and Percy?"

Now, it was my turn to slug him in the shoulder for being a moron. He laughed it off, "I take it things are going well then?"

I refused to answer his question, grumbling under my breath about nosy brothers, which only made him laugh even more.

We spent the rest of the night out on the balcony just talking. It was quite relaxing, considering how the past two years had been. First Apophis, and then Setne. Carter and I had never really got much of a chance to catch up with each other without any outside stress.

All was well at Brooklyn House for the first time in what seemed like forever.

Percy POV:

When I arrived back at camp, I immediately went to the Big House to let Chiron know I was back, as I knew he would be interested in what had occurred on Governors Island. With Setne out of commission, it appeared that there wouldn't be any more petsuchos or Serapis-like monsters and deities, respectively, to deal with any time soon, which was a relief.

You're probably like "But, Percy, doesn't fighting Greek/Egyptian hybrid monsters give you an excuse to see your girlfriend?"

Yes, fighting them gives me a reason to see Sadie, but does a guy really need a reason to see his girlfriend? Plus, I'd rather see Sadie in a situation where we're not potentially about to die gruesome deaths and go to different afterlives.

I can just imagine all of you sitting at home on your couches reading this saying, "But, Percy, couldn't you or Sadie pull some strings to get into the same afterlife?"

Well, oh wise one, that's not how the afterlives work so far as we can tell. As far as Carter, Annabeth, Sadie, and I can tell, the afterlife you go to as a mortal is the one you believe in. Whether that's the Judeo-Christian Heaven and Hell, the Greco-Roman Erebus, or the Egyptian Duat. For those of us with connections to the immortal world, whether we be demigods or magicians, our afterlife is the one we are the most connected to. For demigods, it's Erebus, for magicians it's the Duat.

I don't know about you all, but I'd rather not die a gruesome death at the tender age of 18. Nor would I want to see Sadie, who is younger than I am, die a gruesome death either.

When I entered the Big House, Chiron was sitting in his office — in wheelchair mode, of course — looking at what appeared to be reports from satyrs in the field looking for new demigods. I lightly knocked on the open office door, causing him to break his concentration.

When he saw me, he smiled and said, "Percy, my boy, it's nice to see you again. It's been a while. I assume you have news for me?"

I smiled back at him fondly, "Nice to see you too, Chiron." My expression quickly turned serious as I continued, "Setne decided to make his big move earlier today over on Governors Island."

Chiron lightly stroked his beard and said, "So that's why a storm suddenly appeared over Governors Island earlier. I was wondering what its inhabitants had done to anger the Lord of the Skies."

I smiled lightly and said jokingly, "Wrong pantheon, Chiron."

From there, I launched into a description of everything that had occurred on Governors Island. Well, everything that was relevant. I left out the details of my date with Sadie because, one, that's personal, and two, Chiron's 3000 years old, I don't think he needs or wants to hear about the love lives of his trainees.

I started with my and Sadie's confrontation with Setne where he swallowed my sword and inhaled Wadjet, and continued through Carter and Annabeth's arrival, preventing Setne from inhaling Nekhbet as well, my temporary possession by Nekhbet, and finished with Setne's eventual defeat.

At the end of my story, Chiron was left sitting thoughtfully behind the desk. He was quiet for a few moments before he spoke, "While it's nice to know that this Setne has been captured, you mentioned that he's escaped capture before. What makes you so certain he won't escape again?"

I had expected this question, so I was able to respond nearly instantly, "Brooklyn House. Specifically, Carter, Sadie, and Zia. They have dealt with Setne before. They know what he's capable of and aren't likely to make the same mistakes again. Plus, Brooklyn House has the Chief Lector — Carter and Sadie's Uncle Amos — on call at a moment's notice. And it's not like Carter, Zia, and Sadie are weak magicians either. Plus there's the fact that a goddess helped with Setne's imprisonment.

Chiron nodded thoughtfully as I explained my reasoning as to why I felt confident enough in Carter and Sadie to leave Setne with them. He then said, "Very well, Percy, I've known you long enough to trust your judgment on this. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go inform Olympus of this development."

At that comment, I started a bit, "Olympus knows about this?"

Chiron frowned and said, "Of course they do, Percy. It's part of my job to inform the Council of any interactions between us Greeks and other Pantheons as well as any other events we deem of significant importance. Lupa does the same for the Romans."

I sighed and ran my hand through my hair, "I should have known."

We stood there in awkward silence for a moment before I awkwardly said, "Well, I'll leave you to your Iris-message. I'll be in my cabin if you need anything, Chiron."

Chiron nodded in acknowledgment as I walked out of the Big House to my cabin, where I then Iris-messaged Tyson to inform him of everything that had happened, and also just to check in on him.

We don't really see each other that often, since I'm usually at Camp and he's down in dad's forges with the other cyclops, so we try and IM as much as possible. It's what any brother should do. He keeps me informed of the happenings down in Atlantis and how dad is, and I keep him updated about things happening at camp and with all of our friends.

Annabeth POV:

The morning after Percy, Sadie, Carter, and I beat Setne on Governors Island, Chiron summoned Percy and me to the Big House.

When we got there, Chiron was standing next to Argus, the hundred-eyed camp security guard. A small smile crept onto Chirons face as he greeted us, "Thanks for coming, you two. The Council wishes to see you and the Kane siblings to discuss Setne's attempt to combine the Greek and Egyptian mythological worlds under his rule. Argus will drive you both over to Brooklyn to pick up the Kanes, and then take you all to Olympus."

Percy and I glanced at each other, both of our faces displaying expressions of mild surprise before we returned our attention to Chiron and Argus, the latter of whom was beginning to move towards the Delphi Strawberry Service van that Camp Half-Blood used as a front for… well, everything.

After a brief moment of silence where neither Percy nor I made motions to go join Argus, Chiron's voice took on a bit of an anxious tone, "As you both know well, the gods aren't exactly… patient beings. I'd advise you to collect the Kanes and make your way to Olympus as soon as you can."

We both nodded, thanked Chiron for letting us know of the Gods' request, and made our way to the van, mentally preparing ourselves for the two-and-a-half-hour drive to Brooklyn House that was ahead of us.

After the van ride from Hades — no, I'm not telling you about it — we finally arrived at Brooklyn House. Argus pulled over to the side of the road next to the back entrance to the Domino Sugar Refinery — the building upon which Brooklyn House was perched. The location he chose was one where nobody could see us and wonder, 'What the Hades is a strawberry service van doing parked at an abandoned sugar refinery?'

When Argus put the van in park, he turned his head to look at me and Percy and gave us a nod as if to say, 'Get going. The Big Guy doesn't like being kept waiting.'

We quickly scampered out of the van using the side door and made our way to the metal staircase that wound its way up to the roof, where the entrance to the mansion that was Brooklyn House was hidden. Once we arrived at the garage door-sized square of heavy dark timber with no lock or handle, Percy reached out and knocked on it three times, since we couldn't enter by ourselves on account of not being magicians in the House of Life.

When the door slid upwards, to our surprise, it wasn't Carter, Sadie, Zia, or even Amos — who sometimes came to visit the 21st Nome — who opened the door. Instead, we were met with Julian, one of Carter and Sadie's trainees who was following the Path of Horus if I remembered correctly.

Upon seeing us, Julian's eyes narrowed slightly and he hesitated before reluctantly calling out, "Sadie! Your boyfriend and his ex are here!"

Percy and I both groaned at Julian's lack of tact. Before Sadie could get to the door, Percy called out, "Bring Carter, we need to talk to both of you!"

We then heard her call out from somewhere inside the mansion, "Be there in one bloody minute. Carter — the slow-moving oaf he is — is taking forever to get his lazy ass up from the basketball courts where he was getting schooled by Khufu again."

Percy snickered a bit at that. Despite knowing the Kanes for a couple of months now, I still wasn't exactly sure what constituted humor for them. Carter getting schooled in basketball by someone named after a pharaoh from the Fourth Dynasty didn't seem particularly amusing to me, but, to each their own I suppose.

I called back, "Make sure the two of you look somewhat presentable! The Big Guy in the sky wants to talk to us!"

I then could barely make out a rather impressively profane tirade coming from both Kane siblings somewhere deep in the mansion. After nearly a full minute, Sadie finally yelled back, "Gonna have to give us a bit longer, then. Carter's all sweaty from basketball and he takes forever to look presentable."

Before Percy or I could think to respond, she yelled something else, "Julian, let the two inside so they don't have to awkwardly stand at the door forever!"

Julian wordlessly stepped aside and let the two of us into Brooklyn House-proper where we were greeted with the sight of the Great Room, which never failed to amaze me. The cedar-beamed ceiling was four stories high, held up by carved stone pillars engraved with hieroglyphs. A weird combination of musical instruments and Ancient Egyptian weapons decorated the walls. Three levels of balconies ringed the room, with rows of doors all looking out over the main area. The fireplace was big enough to park a car in, with a plasma-screen TV above the mantel and massive leather sofas on either side. On the floor was a snakeskin rug, except — unlike most snakeskin rugs — it was forty feet long and fifteen feet wide. And at the far end of the Great Room was a set of double doors marked with the Eye of Horus, and chained with half a dozen padlocks.

The real showstopper, though, was the statue in the center of the Great Room. It was a thirty-foot tall depiction of Thoth, the Egyptian God of knowledge, carved out of black marble and dressed ancient-style in a kilt, sash, and neck collar. He held a scribe's stylus in one hand, and an open scroll in the other, as if he had just written the hieroglyphs inscribed there - a Per Ankh, the symbol of the House of Life.

We took a seat on one of the sofas while we waited for Carter and Sadie to make themselves look somewhat presentable for our audience with the Olympians.

Sadie was the first to enter the Great Hall, giving Percy a chaste kiss, before plopping down on the sofa next to him and curling herself into him. Percy curled his arm around her drawing her in close while the trio of us waited for Carter.

Do you have any idea how awkward it was to be the obvious third wheel in that situation? My ex and his new girlfriend curled up on the sofa together, quietly talking to one another, with me sitting on the other end, all of us waiting for her brother so we could go see the Olympians together. Not exactly the most comfortable moment for me.

Fortunately, or, rather, unfortunately in Percy and Sadie's case, it only took Carter a further 5 minutes to get ready. Sadie smirked and said, "Oh how I wonder what the magicians in the other 359 Nomes would say upon hearing that their Pharaoh spends more time doing his beauty regimen than his younger sister?"

Carter's face turned bright red as the rest of us snickered softly before he grumbled, "Shut up," and walked over to the door and headed outside to wait for us.

Sadie rolled her eyes and mouthed, "Drama queen," at us, before calling out to Julian, "You and Jazz are in charge until Carter and I get back," and joining Carter at the door, with Percy in tow.

I quickly followed, the door to Brooklyn House closing behind us, upon which Sadie asked the question on everyone's minds, "So, what does The Big Guy want?"

Percy and I just shrugged before he said, "No clue. Chiron told us a few hours ago that the council wanted to speak with the four of us, so we came over here immediately. Argus is waiting for us down at the curb in the van, so we should probably get going."

Carter, being the only one not to have visited Camp dumbly said, "Argus... The hundred-eyed dude that Hera sent to watch over Zeus' mistress in cow form?"

I responded, "That's one way of telling the story, but, yes, him. He's basically Camp's head of security. He also drives the van when we demigods need to go somewhere."

Carter grumbled something about his breath about how immortal beings conveniently seemed to easily adapt to technological advances before making his way down the metal staircase towards Argus and the van, with the rest of us close behind.

Percy POV:

After another half-hour of riding in the van - an experience that was barely improved by having Sadie there with me - we arrived out front of the Empire State Building. Boy, had it been a fat minute since I'd been there. The last time I was there was over a year ago, right after we'd defeated Kronos. After the war with Gaea, Zeus, thank the Fates, didn't host another reward party where he could offer me immortality again.

As soon as the four of us climbed out of the van, Argus gave us a nod before pulling away from the curb, presumably heading back to camp, leaving the four of us outside the Empire State Building still with absolutely no clue what the Olympians wanted from us.

Naturally, we charged headfirst into the situation. In this case, that meant entering the Empire State Building in a single-file line with all our weapons stored in Carter's special locker in the Duat so we didn't set off the metal detector.

We walked straight up to the security desk, whereupon I rapped my knuckles on the counter, causing the guard to look up from his book, which had a picture of a blue dragon on the front. It was the same guard that was there back when I had to deliver Captain Thunderbritches his master bolt back when I first found out I was a demigod.

The guard looked up at me and narrowed his eyes, "What do you want kid? I'm busy."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Oh, you know, same thing I wanted last time I saw you here."

The guard's eyes narrowed even further, "And that is?"

"The keycard to the 600th Floor"

The guard huffed and said, "I don't know what you've been reading, kid, but that doesn't exist. Get lost."

It was at that moment that I felt Riptide reappear in my pocket from Carter's Duat Locker. Apparently, even Egyptian magic couldn't keep Riptide away from me. Naturally, I drew and uncapped Riptide, placing it on the desk in front of the guard. "I think you're going to want to let us up. There may only be four of us, but that's enough to attract quite a few monsters."

The guard gulped and quickly reached into his desk, pulling out the key card, "Here you go kid. Please get out of my sight now, I don't need any more chaos in this building than there already is."

I gave the guard my most innocent smile and smugly said, "Will do," before recapping Riptide and turning to the others, "Well? What are you waiting for? I've got the keycard and Zeus probably doesn't want to wait much longer for us."

At that, we all made our way over to an empty elevator and inserted the keycard, starting the elevator's journey up. It was pleasing to notice that Apollo had finally changed the music in the elevator. This time he was playing some Queen, which was a nice break from Neil Diamond and The Bee Gees.

At last, the doors dinged open on the 600th Floor, whereupon we all stepped out to await whatever fate the Gods had in store for us.

The walk to the Throne Room drew a few 'oohs' and 'ahhs' from Carter and Sadie, which was understandable, considering the amazing views it provided. As we crossed the sky bridge and drew closer to the Throne Room, more and more satyrs, nymphs, and minor deities emerged — seemingly out of nowhere — to stare at us as if we were some alien being that they'd never seen before.

Well, I suppose that was true considering that two among us were Egyptian Magicians and the other two of us were demigods. As far as I knew and still know, magicians had never been on Olympus before, and demigods are hardly ever allowed up to see the gods.

When we entered the throne room, it appeared that the full council had convened... along with a few extras. Hades along with his wife, Persephone, were sitting in matching obsidian thrones inlaid with jewels and other precious metals that could only have come from Erebus. And Hestia, for the first time since Dionysus was elevated to godhood, was also sitting upon a throne on the ladies' side of the inverted U.

Upon seeing us, Zeus summoned his Master Bolt to his hand — silencing all the conversations between the other gods and causing them to all turn towards us — which was rather unnerving. 15 five-meter tall super-powerful beings that could kill you with a snap of their fingers staring directly at you. 10/10 do not recommend it.

Zeus then spoke for the whole room to hear, "Heroes, welcome to the throne room of the gods. I know it is most unusual for demigods to be here and even more unusual for those mortals who are not demigods to be here, but my hands were tied in this regard."

That last statement caused the four of us to look around at each other in confusion, wondering what being or beings had forced Zeus' hand into bringing us all here.

As we looked around confusedly, Zeus continued, "This unprecedented mixing of Pantheons has caused the Fates to ordain something that has never been done before in all the millennia that this world has existed. I feel it would be most proper for them to explain it themselves, so, this is where I shall pause my remarks for now."

Annabeth and I looked at each other wide-eyed knowing that if the Fates were involved, this was a serious matter that would likely be life-changing. Carter and Sadie, despite not understanding how important and rare the three Fates directly interfering in mortal affairs was, quickly grasped the severity of the situation just by reading the looks on mine and Annabeth's faces.

As Zeus finished his remarks, the three Fates, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos shimmered into existence in front of Zeus' Throne. The moment Zeus' spiel concluded, Clotho began to speak, "The mixing of the Greek and Egyptian Pantheons was something that we did not foresee coming when spinning the fates of you heroes. Setne was an outside complication that forced us to reweave the fates of many in an attempt to keep the universe balanced."

Lachesis then took over from her sister, "The relationship between Perseus Jackson and Sadie Kane was also an unexpected, yet not unpleasant surprise to us. However, this relationship has opened new patterns for us to weave the threads of fate in, mixing together those of demigods and magicians."

Then it was Atropos' turn to speak, "The Olympian Council as it stands is no longer enough to keep the balance. Even adding Hades, Hestia, and Persephone, to it is not enough to maintain the precarious balance our universe survives on. No, the only way to maintain this balance, as far as we can discern, is to create an additional council of Olympians composed of those who did not originally bleed golden ichor."

Lachesis spoke once more, "We are ordaining the creation of an Olympian sub-council, if you will, composed of the strongest and most promising demigods of this generation. This council will expand to include any spouses its members take."

Clotho then chimed in, "The Ancient Laws regarding this set of Olympians will be much looser than those of the current council in that they will be allowed more contact with the mortal world for the next century or so, owing to the fact that all of the future Olympians will have close mortal relations still in the land of the living for that amount of time."

Atropos then finished, "Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase, the two of you will be the first of the new Olympians and this offer is non-refusable. It is the only way of keeping Balance in this universe. Sadie Kane, you were brought here because you are currently the significant other of Perseus Jackson and perhaps one day a future Olympian. Carter Kane, you were summoned here because part of the role of this council will be to interact with the leaders of other Pantheons to avoid and help resolve any inter-pantheon dilemmas that may arise. As Pharaoh, it will be your job along with that of the Chief Lector to represent the Egyptians in these meetings."

The Fates then spoke in an eerie three-part harmony, "So we have spoken, the new council of Olympians will be elevated to godhood in three days' time on the eve of the Winter Solstice at the end of the council meeting."

The three women flashed out of the throne room, leaving all four of us mortals stunned and Zeus and some of the other more stuck-up Olympians, such as Ares, grumbling about how they would have to share some of their powers with the new council.

Zeus then dismissed us from the throne room, leaving us in a state of pure shock and disbelief at what we had just heard and witnessed. I was nearly catatonic, knowing that despite my deepest desires, I would be made an Olympian in three days' time. Annabeth was in one of her heavily analytical states where she seemed to be running everything she'd just heard through the encyclopedia that was her mind. Carter was nervously running his hand through his hair, presumably worried about how in the name of Hades he was going to break this news to Amos. Sadie… Sadie was the most emotional of us all. She was curled into me, half-crying and half trying to be pleased for me.

As we descended down to the ground floor in the elevator, I said, "I think we need to get some food and talk about this."

The others quietly voiced their assent, plunging the rest of our journey into complete silence.

After three long, trying, and emotional days, the Winter Solstice Council Meeting arrived with about as much fanfare as one would expect considering the circumstances.

When the council had wrapped up its normal business, Zeus stood and addressed everyone watching, "Today is an unusual Winter Solstice. The Fates have seen it fit to appoint a secondary council of Olympians to help maintain the balance of the universe. This council is to be made of the best demigods of this generation and their future significant others. Demigods, if the Fates read out your name, please remain behind, everyone else is dismissed."

At that, the Fates stepped out of the shadows they had been hiding in and began to recite the names of the new Olympians one at a time.

First, it was Atropos who spoke, "Perseus Jackson."

Then Clothos, "Annabeth Chase."

Then Lachesis, "Jason Grace."

The cycle then repeated itself as more and more demigods were named as members of the new sub-council.

"Piper McLean."

"Frank Zhang."

"Hazel Levesque."

"Leo Valdez."

"Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano."

"Thalia Grace."

"And last, but certainly not least, Nico DiAngelo," Atropos finished.

After Nico's name was read out, everybody who was not an Olympian, future Olympian, or Fate began to file out of the throne room. The last to leave was Chiron, who merely gave a nod to all of the demigods he had trained as he exited the throne room.

Now, you're probably wondering, 'Percy, what was becoming an Olympian like? What happened?'

Well, a lot of it I can't tell you for reasons that I am also not allowed to say, but, what I can tell you was that it was painful. Very, very painful.

We all got domains, though I won't bother listing any here besides my own, which were Tides, Hurricanes, Swordsmanship, and Heroes. We all received that last one.

I'm sure you're probably saying, 'But, Percy, that can't be the end! We want to know what happened to you and Sadie and how the sub-council turned out after everyone married!'

To that, I say, fine, I'll tell you.

Sadie and I did remain together and she was elevated to the council 5 years ago, on her 19th birthday.

As you can probably imagine, the couples from the Argo II remained together, those being Jason and Piper, and Frank and Hazel.

Leo and Calypso remained together, as did Nico and Will. Calypso was elevated to the council on the second anniversary of her and Leo beginning to date. Will was elevated on the third anniversary of the end of the war against Gaea. being elevated to the council 2 years after the first group of us was, and Will 3 years ago.

Annabeth found love once more, though not precisely in the way you'd expect. For the first few years after we were elevated to the new Olympian sub-council, she went to Erebus quite frequently. Exactly why we never knew, until that is, she announced her intention to elevate her partner to the council. Her partner was none other than a very remorseful Luke Castellan. Apparently, Annabeth's crush on him had never fully gone away, or, at least, had sprung back after Sadie and I got together. After many arguments between Annabeth, Luke, Zeus, and Athena; Zeus finally permitted Luke's ascension to the council 2 years ago… upon the condition that he swear an oath of loyalty to both councils that he could not break, or else suffer the bane of permanently fading away into the eternal abyss of Chaos.

And that wasn't even the biggest surprise relationship. Just over a year ago, Reyna and Thalia came out with the fact that they'd been seeing each other for a few years. They would become the final two members of the council to tie the knot.

Aphrodite was rather pleased with that, telling Reyna how she'd foreseen this matchup — or something very similar to it — coming all those years ago when they'd talked in Charleston when she'd told Reyna that no demigod would heal her heart. Now that had come true in two different ways, she'd crowed - Thalia was a demigoddess at first, not a demigod, and she was now a goddess.

Reyna just rolled her eyes at that, at which all of us present laughed.

As of penning this, no more world-breaking inter-pantheon events have occurred. Partially due to the council, of course. Ragnarok came close, but fortunately, me being able to teach Annabeth's cousin a thing or two about fighting onboard a ship helped put a stopper on Ragnarok for the time being.

As of right now, everything is looking up for us — even if the mortal world is going to Hades.

Well, that's all for this story. I seriously hope Zeus doesn't expect me to write any more about my adventures, this was quite tiresome...

Author's Note: Well, that's it, ladies and gentlemen. The end of the main part of the story. Took 13 chapters and an epilogue. But we got here. Boy, has it been a fun ride. I published chapter 1 of this story just over a year ago. In that short period of time, the response to this fic has never ceased to amaze me. As I write this, we're sitting at 111 follows, 87 favorites, and 41 reviews. Considering this is a crossover fic and not in the regular Percy Jackson category, I'm pretty damn impressed. Thank you all, it means a lot to me!

I'm sorry it's been so long since I posted - over two months, I know. Life has been rough. Couple College Apps with a rough First Term and a distinct lack of a social life, and, well, you get the point. I'm just glad I could crank this out in my free time.

I know the opening was kinda shit. I didn't really know how to start this off and I don't actually have any romantic experience beyond asking a girl out. So, feel free to rant at me all you want.

For the locations of Camp Half-Blood and Brooklyn House, I had to do some serious research. It's not like we were given addresses for them. We know Camp Half-Blood is in Montauk and it has a beach overlooking Long Island Sound. I, in my mind and research, placed CHB in Montauk County Park because A) It just logically made sense to me and B) Farm Road 3.141 does not exist. It's a made-up road making an allusion to the mathematical number pi (3.14159265358979328…). Brooklyn House was a lot easier to place. We know it's atop an old, abandoned factory warehouse on the banks of the East River. Only one building meets that description — the old Domino Sugar Refinery, which ceased operations in 2004, a good 7 years before this story takes place. I do realize that there's been some demolition and reconstruction to the plant since Uncle Rick wrote Kane Chronicles, so, here's my take on that. Brooklyn House is magical, so I'm gonna say that it temporarily moved locations while the Sugar Refinery was under construction. That's my canon. Agree with it or not, it's what goes for this fic.

A few last things before I sign off for the final time,

If you paid any attention, you would've noticed that I had a companion story out for this where I was planning to post some one-shots that never made it into the actual story that I wrote for fun. Keyword: had. I took it down yesterday because not a lot of people were looking at it. Shoutout to Yesse2362 for actually bothering to review it and give me feedback. What I plan to do now is just upload them onto this story after the epilogue. The first one-shot is going to be reuploaded in a few days, so be sure to be on the lookout for that.

I announced this last chapter, but I will announce it again here. I will be working on 2 stories concurrently now that this is done. One is a Harry Potter story, the other is a Percy Jackson story. After that Percy Jackson story, I'll likely do one more, then firmly transition over to solely writing Harry Potter stories.

I don't have any titles yet for my new stories, but I do have basic plot outlines. If you want to stay up-to-date on all the news regarding my future stories or just want to chill with me, you can join my brand new Discord Server, whose link is in my profile. I hope to see all of you there!
