Camp Half-Blood

In the quiet living quarters of cabin three lay the two-time savior of Olympus on his bed with his hands behind his head acting as a makeshift pillow even though his actual pillow was a few feet away from in the corner but he wasn't worried about that right now, no he was wondering where things went wrong. You see when Gaea was defeated by Percy, the remaining demigods found another demigod that was claimed by Poseidon, whose name was Damien Miller the moment Gaea was defeated and instantly, people flocked to him like sheep when he was brought to camp, which caught Percy completely off as it seemed like he just appeared out of nowhere and when he brought this up in the counselor meetings, he was told that, "he should stop being jealous of his new brother and accept that fact that he wasn't alone anymore" Annabeth said to him, who he now strongly dislikes and did he mention that they broke up because of Damien?

Two weeks after Damien's arrival

Damien was walking outside of the Poseidon cabin when he felt a hand grab his shirt collar, pushing him against the wall before feeling the cold blade against his neck. "Hello, 'brother'," he said mockingly.

Percy was fuming. This newcomer had somehow managed to influence the council and almost everyone at Camp Half-Blood, turning them against him. "Give up the act! I don't know who you really are but you are definitely not my brother or a son of Poseidon," he said, his fight or flight instincts telling him that the person in front of him was an enemy and a dangerous one at that.

"Maybe I am but who would believe you? A few weeks of being here and I'm already more popular than you. Are you sure you're not just jealous?" 'Damien' asked mockingly, running his finger across the blade on his neck.

"Don't tempt me to just end you right now." Percy gritted out.

Damien continued to taunt him, "How's it feel knowing that every bit of good that you did for the gods could be tossed down the drain with a few simple words and tricks? Losing all your friends? What would Annabeth think about you harming your family?"

Percy stabbed Riptide into the wall beside 'Damien', grabbing his collar with both hands before pulling him off the wall only to slam his head back once more, "Don't you dare even think of going near her!" he yelled out

"Or what? What will you do?" he taunted continuously.

"I will kill you," Percy said as he shook with rage.

'Damien' leaned closer to Percy's ear with a smirk, "You won't get the chance to." he whispered. He pulled back and his eyes went wide, "Chiron! Help me!" he yelled out as the Centaur galloped past the two.

Chiron's eyes went wide and narrowed at the sight, "Perseus! Let go of your brother now!

"He's not my brother. I've been telling you that ever since he got here!" Percy replied in anger.

"I don't care what personal problems you have with him but he is a member of this camp and your brother whether you like it or not! Put him down now! Chiron yelled back, attracting the attention of the other campers who were nearby.

Annabeth ran up next to Chiron, "Percy, put him down! You've been acting all weird ever since Damien arrived."

"I'm the one acting weird?! Have you seen yourself! You were the one that blew our plans off! You never do that!" Percy pointed out to her. "He is not who he says he is. He's not even a demigod!" he yelled out, "The circumstances surrounding him aren't right! He's influencing you and none of you can see it."

"Put him down!" Chiron repeated once more.

Percy dropped 'Damien' to the ground, pulling Riptide from the wall before capping it and starting to walk off into the woods to relieve some anger.

"I don't know what's been going on with you recently but I can't do this anymore!" Annabeth shouted out, her words making Percy stop in his tracks.

"What?" the pain visible in his eyes as he replayed her words in his head.

"We're done. I'm not going to date someone that's willing to kill their own brother over some childish reason." she said as she helped 'Damien' get up, letting him lean on her as she walked him to the infirmary, not looking back at Percy.

After that incident, word got out about what Percy tried to do to Damien, leaving only a few people at the camps that believed him. Those people were Nico, Jason, Reyna, Piper. Despite how well the Romans and Greeks worked together, they were still hesitant to help each other unless in dire times so they wouldn't have believed any of the Romans that backed Percy's claims.

He would have brought this to Thalia, who would have probably told Artemis, who was surprisingly friendly with him despite him being of the gender that she hated. He would have gone to Artemis directly, whenever the hunters were at camp but both she and Thalia have been acting really weird around him. He hadn't really had the time to ask them why they were acting like that, though he has noticed Artemis being significantly nicer to him and Thalia hasn't actually hit him in a while which had him concerned until she pointed out that her duties didn't exactly leave her with time to fool around though he could that she was lying.

That brings us to his current situation now.

"Well...I'm very fucked." Percy irritably said before he was interrupted by his cabin door being knocked on repeatedly.

"Percy Percy! You gotta open this door, we got a situation like big!" Percy could identify that it was Nico who was banging on his door but couldn't figure out what could have caused this, so he opened the door, which unknown to him just started the downward spiral of his current life.

"Nico, what can I help you with? Let me guess you called Thalia a name she didn't like and now she's trying to find you and kill you with the rest of the hunt?" Percy said with his signature grin but disappeared the moment Nico said his words.

"Dude, we gotta get you to leave now! The gods just put out a marker on you calling you a traitor and spy for Gaea and they want to kill you, but dad warned me, so you have to leave like right now! Come on I'll help you!" Nico said in a completely frantic rush to save his best friend from death by one arrogant god-king. Percy was about to ask him to calm down and explain to him everything that happened in the throne room as everyone except for him was called for a meeting on Olympus when they were interrupted by footsteps that almost sounded regretful, "How do footsteps sound regretful?" Percy thought.

He turned around only to meet the downtrodden looks of Thalia and the look of barely hidden despair on Artemis, the hunters behind them, which only further confirmed his gut feeling and suspicions and making close his eyes in hopes that this was just a dream, but ultimately failed. He would have even preferred this to be a really bad prank by the Stolls.

"So I guess what Nico said is true huh? All my life defending and saving Olympus and the gods and this is how it ends for me? Did they even give actual facts backing their accusations or was it just false air coming from their ass?" Percy asked them calmly while clenching his hand repeatedly and took riptide out of his pocket and looked at it longingly before handing it over to Artemis who stared wide-eyed at the gesture.

"I want you guys to know that I won't blame you for what's going to happen to me and I never will, but things will change after this. I hope you know that. The sword belonged to Zoe and she was your friend and I think it's about time Anuklusmos was returned to her family which is you, and the hunt. Take good care of it will you? It's still a special blade in my heart even if I'm giving it back." Percy said trying to fake a smile, but ultimately failing at it. Artemis shakily nodded her head and accepted the blade and Thalia kept silent, but you could see tears were running down her face. Percy noticed and said: "Hey, Thals come here it's going to be fine I promise. I will always remember you no matter what happens to me." and pulled her into a tight hug making Thalia sob out loud into his shirt and grabbing him tightly trying to make him stay.

"Perse-Percy I'm truly sorry for what is happening to you. I could not stop the others from going through with the vote." Artemis said sadly.

"Don't be sorry for me as it was never your fault or Thalia's or your hunters or Nico's, Hades or Hestia, so don't say it cause I'll be dead, but the dead are at peace and the real heroes are the ones that keep on living," he said with a sad smile, "I'll see you all on Olympus," Percy said softly to the small group, he proceeded to release Thalia from the hug and kissed her on the forehead and vapor-traveled to the lobby of the Empire State building before they could say anything more and headed towards the elevator that would take him to his imminent fate. The group flashed and shadow-traveled to the throne room with Artemis giving Hestia a sad shake of the head causing the hearth to drop in its intensity.

Olympus

Percy took his time getting to the throne room knowing that it was quite possibly his last time ever walking on Olympus and thought of all the ways he put himself out on the line defending the Olympians only to be given this as a reward for his years of service and suddenly he was pissed and rightly angry before stopping at the throne room door and pushed it open making all the eyes of the gods, goddesses, and campers fall onto him and calmly walked to the center of the room and looked Zeus straight in his eyes and said, "Zeus I see you've become even more gullible than I thought. I wonder how you managed to not be killed all these years."

This enraged Zeus "SO YOU ADMIT TO YOUR CRIMES, YOU PUNY DEMIGOD!" he yelled angrily making his voice heard across the room.

Percy snorted, "No I'm completely innocent I can assure you, but I can see that I lost this battle before I even walked in, didn't I? Anyways I see whatever sob and pity story the campers gave you actually worked, so I guess a good job on officially being the camp asshats, everyone must be so proud of that." Percy said sarcastically with a roll of his eyes. "Tell me did they provide any actual evidence or was it just their word they gave you? Actually, you know what? I already know the answer, so don't bother. Just get on with killing me" Percy said trying to ease the migraine away.

"You would do well to respect your betters boy and no we aren't going to kill you. The council believes that suffering in Tartarus would be more fitting for you." Zeus said with an evil smirk on his face with Ares chuckling like a madman.
