"Nico, you said you talked to him, you said he'd come," Annabeth said glaring at Nico
"I said, that he might come, I did talk to him" Nico defended.
"We can't wait anymore, obviously he's not gonna come, he's still mad at us," Will said looking down in shame. All of them sighed and looked down regretting ever betraying Percy.
What all they didn't notice was a boy leaning on the door frame looking at all of them with a bored look, "You know, I wouldn't have bothered to come if you told me you were going to give up"
All of their heads jerked up and towards the boy, "Percy!" They all exclaimed.
"Yes, me" Percy said pursing his lips together trying not to remember the memories he had in this room.
"So, I'm assuming you all have created some battle plans?" Percy asked staring at the blueprints rolled up on the table, "Y-yes, we have" Annabeth said unrolling the blueprints and placing them in front of him, "We are expecting a monster attack today or tomorrow, and we are assuming that Tartarus will attack in about a month, he's still a little weak, and he should be ready to attack in about a month" Annabeth explained.
Percy looked at the paper in front of him making a mental plan, "He's still weak right?" Percy asked.
"Yes, he's still trying to properly set into his body," Annabeth said.
"Okay, so then, we will split the camp into two groups, one bigger group, and one smaller group, the bigger group will stay here and protect the camp from the monster attacks while the smaller group will go to Tartarus' lair and defeat him while he's still weak," Percy said.
"But, won't defeating Tartarus need more demigods?" Nico asked.
"Defeating Tartarus will need less but more qualified demigods to defeat Tartarus, cause it's a tough job, and I don't want to risk many lives" Percy explained.
"Zoe and- " "Zoe?" The campers looked at him confused as to why he was taking the dead huntress's name.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you right, Zoe Nightshade has been brought back to life to help us in the war" Percy leaving out the girlfriend part so that it doesn't seem like the gods revived Zoe just so he could have a girlfriend.
"Where is she?" Thalia asked.
"She is taking a tour around camp, she will join us later to discuss training methods" Percy answered.
"Anway, as I was saying, Zoe and I will be taking turns and training both the groups, to help us, we will pick some other well-trained demigods"
"We will meet later to discuss training methods, in the meantime, I will make sure that Zoe and I settle in" Percy finished and walked out of the door.
And the demigods just stared as he walked away, he had changed so much.
He was no longer the Percy Jackson they knew.
They also knew that they were the ones to blame.
