After I thought about it for a little while I eventually decided that I would contact Amber so we could see each other again. I liked her, she was kind, Smart, pretty, and modest. If you're wondering how I contacted her, it turned out that most of the gods have cell phones, It's not like they really have to worry about monsters so they can use them. Now I had one, and I used it to contact her.

After I contacted her we talked quite often and met as often as we could. Obviously, she didn't know what I really am so I couldn't tell her the truth about me, or at least not yet. Besides, I wouldn't normally tell someone this early anyway. I knew that if I did eventually tell her there was no guarantee that she would be able to handle that revelation. I didn't really think about that yet though since I basically just pretended to still be a mortal when I talked to her and spent time with her.

On one occasion Amber Decided she wanted to go to a movie. Since I wasn't going to be super busy that day I agreed to go with her. She'd said that the movie was based on a book she'd read a while ago and although I didn't have the knowledge of what happened in the book the movie sounded interesting enough. On the way into the theater, I held the door open for her. After she walked through she commented, "You're a real gentleman aren't you,"

I just smiled at her slightly amused not quite sure how to reply to that since it's just the way I am. In the end, I said just that. After that, she smiled and commented, "And everyone says chivalry is dead,"

I was mostly just amused by her comments and continued to do other little things like that for her. In the end, I thought that the movie wasn't half bad. I wasn't sure if Amber had the same opinion though since there were a few occasions when she muttered that certain parts of the movie were different than the book. After the movie, we went back to Amber's apartment.

Don't get any ideas, we didn't really do anything more than just talking but it was nice to just spend time together where I didn't have to worry about the other gods, or my training, where I could just be myself. I knew I cared for Amber I just wasn't sure how much. Did I just see her as a friend right now? or was what I felt for her a little more than that? It seemed too soon for my feelings to be anything more than friendship but I still wasn't sure.

I still visit my mom and Tyson when I can but now I also spend as much time with Amber as I can since I really do like her. That along with my training and any meetings that are called as well as my duties as a god mean that I am pretty busy, and sometimes it's hard to fit everything in. Since I'm the god of time though I can usually figure something out, not to mention that a god's consciousness is only ever in the same place when they are in their true form, so technically I could be in more than one place at a time.

Although that would take some getting used to it was also pretty convenient on days where I might not have been able to fit everything in otherwise. I was learning my powers fairly quickly so my training might not have to go on for as long as I originally thought, so I might have more free time sooner than I thought.

Although I seemed to be moving on from Annabeth I still wasn't interested in visiting either of the demigod camps anytime soon. I may have been moving on but I still wasn't interested in seeing Annabeth any sooner than I had to, besides we weren't planning on telling the demigods about me being a god now until the winter solstice. But I was still kind of looking forward to seeing Annabeth's reaction when the time came.

I was sure she would probably be shocked since she probably wouldn't expect that the gods would offer me immortality again or that I would accept. And then there was also the fact that I'm an Olympian, not just a minor god. Yeah, I was sure she would be pretty damn shocked when she found out. She would probably come to the meeting expecting just a typical meeting where most of the gods just bickered over old grudges or stupid things, she was definitely in for a surprise.

Eventually, I decided that I didn't want to lose one of my best friends so with the permission of some of the other gods I got Blackjack out of camp and Porkpie as well. I went into camp using some of my new abilities to hide who I was. I was slightly amused by how clueless the campers were as I went past a few of them without them having any idea who I was.

For a moment though I wasn't so sure of my plan when I caught sight of Chiron but he didn't try to stop me so I just kept on going. Once I entered the stables and went over to Blackjack and Porkpie I returned to my normal self. Kind of confused Blackjack said, "Boss is that you?"

Smiling I replied, "Yes Blackjack it's me,"

Obviously still confused Blackjack replied, "Why do you look so different, boss?"

I was starting to get a bit tired of answering that question, but I explained that after Annabeth left me the gods had offered me godhood again and this time I'd agreed.

"Does that mean you won't need me anymore?" Blackjack asked sadly.

I knew he had always been eager to help me ever since I'd helped him escape the Princess Andromeda, that's why I'd already come up with a plan and gotten the other gods' permission to carry it out.

I said, "There's still a way that you can help me blackjack, both of you can,"

"How boss?" Blackjack asked eagerly,

I told them both how if they wanted to they could be my chariot pegasi when I needed them for that, and the rest of the time we could still be friends. They would be allowed to roam free as long as they came when I called on them. Once they both understood they both quickly agreed so I took them to Olympus to carry out the process of making them immortal since they would need to be immortal if they were going to continue helping me.

Starting with Blackjack I made them immortal. I learned how to do it not too long ago since I was learning my powers fairly quickly. As I did it Blackjack was surrounded in gold and sea green light that was so bright that Porkpie had to look away, obviously, it didn't bother me so once I finished I could see that Blackjack looked a little different.

After I finished with Blackjack I took care of Porkpie, and once I finished I could see that he also looked a little different. Once I was done, the pegasi looked at themselves and they quickly noticed the change in their appearance. Instead of just being black, blackjack now had some gold in his wing feathers. Porkpie also now had gold in the feathers of his wings although he was a brown pegasus rather than black.

I talked to the two pegasi for a little longer until Blackjack eventually asked, "Can I have donuts boss?"

I chuckled, thinking Typical Blackjack. Obviously becoming immortal hadn't eliminated his love for sugary treats. In the end, I did give him some donuts but not too many since I didn't want to spoil him too much. When I left camp I wasn't really thinking about Blackjack or Mrs. Oleary, but now that I thought about it I would have to contact Nico and ask him to take care of Mrs. O'leary since I couldn't really do it now that I'm a god.

Perhaps once I'm ready to visit camp again I might visit her and all the friends I still have at camp but right now isn't the time since I know I'm not ready to go back there yet. For now, I was content just staying on Olympus, training, and visiting my mom and Tyson, and Amber when I could. So far In my training, I'd learned about several of my powers, for instance, I could manipulate time by either slowing it down, speeding it up, stopping it completely, or even reversing it, although reversing it too far could be risky.

Technically I could also time travel but that was one power that I doubted I would ever really use since it was extremely risky, after all changing something in the past would change the future, and I couldn't control the results of that change so there was no guarantee that they would be good. Regardless I also had other powers some of which had to do with my domains and others that all gods have no matter what their domains are.

Due to my two sea related domains, I had powers over water similar to what I'd had as a demigod but since I was much more powerful now I was capable of even more now than I was then. Now I could also create and control tidal waves and tsunamis. I also had powers related to my swordsmanship and Loyalty domains, but I hadn't figured all of my powers out yet so that was just a rough idea of what I'm capable of.

As for the abilities that all gods have I could transform into any animal, although it was easier for me to transform into my sacred animals. technically I could also change my appearance or age but I never bothered to do it since I was more comfortable being the age I was, to begin with, and looking like myself. I Obviously could also teleport and assume my true form, although I didn't really use that second one much except with teleportation.

I also don't eat much mortal food anymore since gods mostly just eat nectar and ambrosia, the only times I really eat anything else are when I'm visiting my mom or spending time with Amber. No matter how much I told myself that I shouldn't spend so much time with Amber I couldn't help myself, I would tell myself that she was just a friend, but in reality, I suspected that our relationship was beginning to go past that now.

Despite that thought I didn't end it and continued seeing her, I knew I probably couldn't let it continue but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I liked Amber and when I was with her I didn't have to worry about people treating me like I was better than them, or about my ex who didn't seem to care enough to stick around, or about Aphrodite who seemed to have her mind set on getting me to fall for her, and then there was also Ares who still seemed to hate my guts.

When I was with Amber I was happy that I could just be myself rather than the super powerful Olympian who I had to be most of the time. When I was with her we would do different things that normal people would, like watching TV or movies, going out to eat, or just going for walks like we'd done the day we'd met. I wouldn't say that I loved her yet but I knew that there was something there even if I wasn't exactly sure what it was.
