"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

-- Elizabeth Kubler Ros

Percy was not in good situation, he started to get his memory back , courtesy of a bet with his brother the former king of Salmydessus in Thrace ,an old seer the very same one who of course helped the Argonauts in their journey. Percy still could remember all those years ago in the third quest of his life, Lady Artemis saying about the great stirring having started. Yes apart from remembering the girl he loved with blond princess curls , Annabeth , Percy could only remember the parts of conversations with Artemis,the goddess of hunt,moon and many other things. At first Percy was shocked, sure Annabeth was his girlfriend but maybe the gods decided to interfere with his life more than usual, but still he couldn't make sense why a maiden godess none other than Artemis who despise men population with pleasure as well as her followers would be important to him. Next Percy after winning the wargame confronted Mars whom he could remember hating specially in Greek aspect. After Ares's disappearance Percy feared Artemis or better known as Lady Dianna would arrive at Roman camp and would curse him or worse turn him into some fluffy animal for doing some bad works in his life before his memory was stolen. Percy hated Octavian with passion. They were sure traveling in Pax the boat. His days got weirder when he saw his new friend Frank could control a undead soldier, a spartus named Gray. Only he was confused and angry when Frank accidentally broke the statue of Neptune fountains in ROFL, Percy's sickness increased, as it started when he examined evil Cyclops, evil horned centaurs that all seemed to feel wrong. When they left Iris's shop probably the rainbow godess wanted to do some help with the organic junky but Percy was feeling well after their treatment thank you very much. For sure they met the seer who was working and was alive for the evil Earth mother. Percy knew how the pawn system worked. Sure he would not betray his Roman friends and possibly his other friends, Annabeth in helping Gaea in her cause but he was sure that his role for Gaea was important than the old seer. Percy was sorry for Ella the book-smart harpy, the creature reminded him of Annabeth. And Boom! As expected Percy lived after the bet while the evil seer died, and Percy got his memory back slowly but surely. In his journey they had night's sleep in a bed in Frank's grandmother's house after tolerating the cussing annoying horse-brother Arion whom Poseidon bore when Lady Demeter or better in Roman Ceres disguised herself as a mare and Poseidon pursued her as a horse. Well Percy had dreams of dancing silver lights in dreams and a voice of young man wailing in agony and heartbreak none of these made sense. So they followed the path after the veteran legionnaire helped them in transportation. In Hurbard glacier he fought like demon glad to be able fight in his full fledged form. Sure in Seattle he could go all out against the Amazons but he didn't want to attack them as they were the woman fighters just like Lady Artemis's hunters and next as Reyna sent them to receive help from them as the marching army would overwhelm the Romans and then the Greek camp. But in the Hubbard glacier there were no one to defeat Perseus the destroyer. So when Frank who was just selfless as his mother freed Thanatos with the help of his firewood costing his life's period Percy was thankful towards his friends. Sure Frank,Hazel were not the brightest fighter he has seen but he knew it was their starting point , sure Hazel was bearing a curse and Frank had the lifeline problem but they were future heroes in making. So when his friends were able to take down the bane of Pluto with the help of immortal horse god Arion Percy rejoined the fray against the dead legionnaires who were not able to join the underworld even after deaths. Later after slamming Riptide he thought no hesitated he would die in the glacier as Hazel died according to her tale in time of World war 2. Percy would never forget the situation he faced in the muskeg when he was drowning a son of Poseidon was drowning all courtesy to the earth mother. But now he was determined and the glacier was natural not manipulated by Gaea. So he was waiting for his friends Frank, Hazel for them he was sure they would succeed and would come to look for him.

So when he stood at the edge of the glacier, leaning on the staff with the golden eagle, and gazing at the several acres of wreckage he had caused he was happy and as his girlfriend he wasn't smart so only he said, "Hey".

He was getting impatient because by the time the gigante army might have reached the Roman camp what would happen later he didn't want to think about. He only expected to Hera yes he was very angry as the godess has swapped him though he was the best choice and he prayed to Mars that by the time time death has been unleashed that former Queen Ortera the wife of Ares , queen of Amazons stay dead. Percy was not sure why the queen wanted to get her subjects back or she was evil all those years ago, that she joined the earth mother.

Well after Frank's shape shifting ability which would recall the ability offered to his family by his father Poseidon. But when Frank recalled the story of his ancestor Periclymenus Percy again realised that the proclaimed hero Heracles was a dick.

Sure the son of King Neleus and Khloris was no problem in ass for oh mighty hero Heracles and the eldest of Neleus was an Argonaut as well as him. But as maintaining the mighty hero attitude he has to attack the kingdom for no reason as Percy read in many books stating the arrogance of the great hero, and as the result of war in which the 12 brothers of Periclymenus were slain by Heracles as the eldest son he had to step up in fray and he surely attacked Hercules as a lion, then a eagle scratching the eyes of Heracles but Heracles being the mighty hero struck an arrow to sever the sinew of the bird- Periclymenus and after he tried to flee but as he was mortally injured he died in the hands of greatest hero. Only one brother Nestor was spared in this bloodshed who later became a friend to Heracles's son Tlepolemus. Tlepolemus oneday said to Nestor, "Sir you never expressed any words of gratitude about the herioc deeds of my father as he states often about how he conquered the kingdom of Pylos and other". In this the friendly eyes of Nestor lit up in old anger and remembrance of the onslaught he had replied in a gruff voice, " Oh please, son of Heracles don't provoke me to remember the deeds of your father and make me hate him more, sure he is powerful beyond any imagination probably he suckled Lady Hera, or maybe he was overpowered as he was born the son of King of gods I would never know. But I could remember the day when I was younger more or less 12 , your decided to attack our kingdom placed by my father Neleus in Pylos after capture of Elis for no reason. Young warriors and soldiers were running in fear that which might cause the anger of Zeus's favourite child. I still remember as if yesterday he mercilessly slaughtered my 10 brothers who met the same fate death for no reason. My eldest brother went toe to toe with him. But no avail as Zeus's spawn his strength and luck was in his favour as Athena still did remember the rivalry with Poseidon of Athens and helped your dad. I would never forget the desparation of lives among the young fighters but nonetheless I would be your friend so please don't remind me of your father." After the tale Nestor in his old age is to be seen as the councellor of Trojan war and he of course advised Achilles to make peace with Troy as the war would not be good for any sides. Despite all failed plans he was regarded as a wise councellor.

Νο Percy had no time to curse the old hero so he collected the tons of imperial gold weapons, shields and many equipments on the chariot they retrieved from the quest led by Michael Varus. They loaded the chariot with the ample supply with the metal levitation of Hazel, helping of seal-Frank and without further delay they started for the Cadecott tunnel with the immortal horse god 'Arion'. It took them 4 hours after even hitting the sonic boom and creating probably a pretty good avalanche in Alaska.

But upon reaching Percy immediately cursed in his luck as the battle has started might be few hours ago. The legionnaires of twelfth were in Fields of Mars protecting the city as it was surrounded by sea of monsters. Percy was hobbling at first but he has to rescue the Romans who have given him the home . He engaged in battle with renewed vigour after his Cyclops brother Tyson arrived with Ella,the harpy and his beloved pet hellhound Mrs' O'Leary the black mastiff, Percy searched for more help but sadly according to Tyson the big trireme wasn't ready to sail abroad. So they made a distraction to distribute tons of imperial gold weapons to the fifth cohort which became the most powerful cohort in no time. The evil shades of fallen legionnaires were trying to attack but the lares stood ground. Riding in Scipio Reyna was doing as much distraction as she could do to the giant Polybotes. Percy yelled 'Twelfth Legion Filumimata' and a massive volts of electricity coursed through the emblem and catching the earthborns, monsters burnt them but it was not enough. Soon the Amazons arrived and luckily Hylla has remained the queen and was able to defeat the queen Ortrea. The mix of forklifts and Pegasuses continued the aerial attack while the Amazons draped in black and yellow fought like demon, cutting through the lines of enemies left and right. Soon the six handed monsters who were trying to throw the rock, mud were destroyed. The two Gorgon sisters Stheno and Euryale were dead. Arion stampeded on the evil grain spirits who were making offer to give free wheat, cereal etc. It all left to Polybotes who despite his situation continued to his threats , but later Percy killed him with his wit as the giant entered the Pomeranian line angering the border god Terminus who sure couldn't fight in his statue form and without hands but Percy had another plan he smashed the broken piece of the god's statue in Polybotes's nose and effectively killing the bane of Neptune in the golden dust. The Romans and Amazons alike cheered at their victory. After the conversation at night Percy had a strange dream.

At a big lake filled with liquid there was a young man of probably in his twenties with a deity. He was sure that the deity must be powerful. The deity radiated enough power , seemed Kronos to be a lil giant. The deity looked like the embodiment of the liquid but upon thinking further Percy decided it must be a sea-deity as the deity's body was covered with seaweed which he mistook for the tattos and many other things, stupid. Then the young man said his voice was tired ,"Lord Pontus I have done it already 20 times this day and you are keeping the pressure of liquid increasing, please give me rest I want to skip around with the friends." Percy realised he heard the wails of agony of the same young man previously and when he knew the deity was none other than the embodiment of sea who retreated after Oceanus got the part and then his father. According to the lessons he received from Annabeth despite his ADHD and dyslexia the protogenoi were thought to be extinct but again in their luck they were fighting against the earth mother who might have also mothered the sea primordial according to different accounts of stories. Last thing Percy needed to confront a sea god who can crush his father and himself like bug in elephant's foot he decided he would keep secret about the dream until the battle ended with Gaea and prayed to Lady Fortuna whom he had seen with the sea god that the protogenoi remains in their side. Well back to the conversation the deity said to the young man whose aura was flickering like one moment was even surpassing Pontus the next moment he was like a demigod of minor deity ,he was covering his own aura to remain unnoticed just like a hunter would do to lose his trail. Well the deity said, "Look Tharros you have my blessings as well as my father the creator himself has blessed you but you know it is our last few months practice remember you will be going to Earth then we can't interfere, you have to get the all help you can recieve from your own family, I know that we have been forcing you to your best and you are continuously progressing now you are facing the liquid which seems like the crystal clear but believe me it is hundred times denser than mercury and I can assure that you would be able to control it also in days time man. Remember you have to be the hero again in the planet and you have to spread the hope with your eldest aunt for what we primordials are calculating well your soon to grandfather would not tell us of course ,if that all are true believe me you have to try the hardest to evade the threat . " Then the young man now identified as Tharros said,"Look man it is true I have to go and I know if my suspicions are right we would all face an enemy in centuries to be exact. But you know these powerful entities especially drown in evil can manipulate some people even before being truly awake I have sighted the earth mother's presence at Alaska she probably manipulated the mortal wife of Hades or she knew as Pluto, he has been kind to me in everytime in my life despite the grumpiness he showed normally. But you know man pa Chaos's orders don't interfere with the fates, I wish I could change it. You know I am going to rebirth as a demigod to be exact like my previous life again I am worried about everything how people would treat like me, Artemis.. I requested to pa to seal the memory of mine in rebirth as last thing I want the final deity to be aware of my existence". Pontus placed a comforting hand on Tharros's shoulder and said ,"I know brother you know Lady Order has approved of your soon to be grandma in mortal world, ironic how she died in the plane crash in Ontario. And remember if you want to get rid of the stray flashbacks and if you don't want to get parts of memory before time then stay away from the Gorgon blood those bloody things give you memory for sure and I hope you to stay out of the business of Hera ,that bitch was not too much cool towards you but as you served Olympus till your sacrifice for their peace which lasted till the stirring , she was lenient towards you, ya know she plays with memories. And Tharros I can't wait till you get your memory back in time and control liquids you learned from my blessings and I hope you make your peace with the certain silver eyed godess and live happily." At the mention of the goddess Tharros's eyes darkened his shoulder slumped as in a bitter feeling he said, "Pontus mate it is simple for you to say as you live with your wife Thalassa peacefully but things have not been smoothly between us ya know as after all she was the reason of my death and I have watched from distance that her manhating personna has increased many fold. Last thing I need to get my memory back in front of her and lashing at her, and alerting the presence of my existence and thwart the only we plan to survive.You know 'pa also casted a memory spell towards the Olympians or they would be after me,I know that it would be hard for my father being the loyal person he is but I must to it in most simple way so that the Lady fates don't ruin my luck" Pontus only said consoling the man "I know,I know." Then for a moment Percy could clearly see Tharros's face he just looked like older version of himself his eyes were sea green in dominant and swirl of orange,sky blue, ocean blue,brown and many color which people would mistake for kalieyodoscope like eyes. His last words were "I hope Gaea don't send Orion again to cost my life this time again." In this sentence, Tharros's face morphed in concentration and his eyes hardened in resolve.

Then Percy woke up with a start in morning remembering it was the Feast of Fortuna thinking he would ask the gods after the war ending and he vaguely remembered he had seen the Lady Fortuna in driaries with the primordial of sea, Pontus who was leaning on a ship, in a Roman statue shop he saw in the city of New Rome on his way to Senate meeting. He would think about the dream or probably ask someone later but now he had other pressing matters and last thing he wanted to hear is the sneering of Octavian in front of full senate and the Amazons. So he woke up to get ready. But he won't tell anybody he resolved as it might be a dark history in the Olympians he would not tell even Annabeth for she would pester her mom, last thing he needed to anger his girlfriend's mom to force their break-up for asking unnecessary question. And he assumed that the subject about Tharros and Artemis must be a rocky relationship or something and he was happy in having his genitals intact thank you very much which sure would be castrated by the silver eyed godess in Tharros's words and in many hardships of life Artemis has been a role model to him despite her turning male to animals or worse feeding them to wolves or turning males into girls or even more worse destroying a city of 'filthy' males part. But Percy would not tell anyone even if he was given million drachmas. Even when he requested Lord Zeus to free the peaceful titans Lady Leto has come to his mind with the fated queen of Ogygia, his biggest 'what if' Calypso. Why the name mistress of Zeus exiled in the terra firma came to his mind he would never know. But Percy would make sure to repeat the requests he made in the second titan war again regardless people calling him stupid, arrogant or whatever. And thinking about the young-man in dream, he was sure of one thing Tharros must be a son of Poseidon, sure Hepasthus was loyal to his cheating wife Aphrodite but if you want a loyal Olympian in one word then it would be Poseidon as Percy was sure 7 months ago when he rode on his dad's thorne with the help of Grover he would be smited by Zeus regardless if he was his son for sure. Oh remembering those things Percy became nostalgic sure he has dreamt and contacted with Grover in empathy link but he would talk with his longest time friend of mythological world soon face to face.
