Percy Pov

I was just coming back from taking care of the remaining Titans and monsters. See, after the giant war, the gods gave me and the hunt the assignment to take care of the remaining army forces. So they don't get the chance to stand against us, or gather more forces. I made a deal with Artemis and her hunt that I would take care of the Titans, and she and her hunt would deal with the monsters. Hestia had blessed me after that and made me her champion; she said I needed all the help I could get to defeat the Titans. And also it was her way, of saying thanks for returning hers and Hades' thrones after the war.

There was a reason I was going after the Titans. Gaea had a backup plan for her defeat. She made one of the Titans kill my mortal parents, Sally and Paul. There was fire of vengeance fueling my soul. I wanted to avenge my mother.

That was 4 months ago. I am just returning after that assignment. I missed Annabeth the most; she was the only reason I kept going, to get to her as fast as I could. Athena had given me her blessing to ask Annabeth to marry me. I know I didn't need anyone's permission, but it was the right thing to do. I entered the camp and the people started giving me stinky eyes. I frowned confused, what did I do to them?

Before anyone could say anything, I moved towards the Athena cabin. I knocked on their cabin door and waited for someone to answer. Malcolm Pace opened the door, and when he looked at me, his face held fear. I didn't know what it meant, but I ignored it and stepped inside. I made my way to Annabeth's room, as a counselor; she got her own personal room.

I was about to knock when I heard a moan from inside. I frowned and opened the door to see something that broke my heart to a thousand pieces. Annabeth was on her hands and knees, naked, while Sherman a son of Ares, was fucking her. They didn't sense me and kept going.

"A..Ann..Annabeth?" I called in a stuttering voice. Tears streamed down my face as I looked at the girl I love with all my heart getting fucked like a common whore.

They both turned to look at me and their eyes widened. They sprung apart, and rushed to wear their clothes. I turned around and left the cabin before they could say anything. I could feel my power getting the better of me, and if I stayed here I was sure, that the entire Athena cabin was going to be destroyed.

I walked outside to see that the entire cabin was standing there. They must have known about the two children of the war's affair. Chiron stepped forward to say something, but I raised my hands for him to stop. I pushed myself through the crowd, and went to the only place that could give me solace right now. The beach, my father's domain.

I could hear footsteps, and a person stood beside me. I knew who it was before she could say anything. I was in love with her for as long as I could remember. I can sense her anywhere.

"Percy…" she started, but I cut her off, and motioned for her to sit. She sat by my side, and I could feel the water flowing from her eyes. I could also feel a shift in my surroundings. I looked to see the Olympians standing behind us. Annabeth hadn't sensed them. Athena looked at me pleadingly, silently asking me to not hurt her daughter. I nodded to her, and turned to the girl that broke my heart.

Third Person Pov

The Olympians stood in the forest to hear and see what Percy was going to do. He was the most powerful demigod; his emotions could wreck the entire camp if not controlled that's why they were here. To contain any damage that may be caused by him. Soon Percy started talking.

"I have told you about my first stepfather, Smelly Gabe right?" Percy asked Annabeth, and she nodded.

"See what I didn't tell you was he started beating me when I was 7. He would use whatever he could find, belt, whips, sticks, beer bottles. This one time he used the window curtain to choke me by my neck." Percy stated, and their eyes widened. No one knew that he had gone through abuse as a child. Poseidon felt his heart clench, if only he had taken his child with him and kept him safe.

Artemis and Apollo felt rage course through them; they were responsible for little kids, and their own Savior had suffered the worse fate as a kid. Everyone, even Zeus, and Hera, felt their hearts break; no child deserved such abuse.

"After the abuse started, I got used to it. My mother didn't know about it, and I never told her. I loved my mother with all my heart, but I never felt like home with her. When I reached camp you became my first friend here, and we connected. You told me how you left your own home at the age of 7 because you felt unwanted, felt like you weren't a part of their family and I got closer to you. That's why I loved you not because of your beauty, and your skills. But because you knew what it was like to come from a broken home. I thought we could create a home for ourselves." Percy said, looking at the seas. The seas were silent; no tides or waves, nothing. It was like the entire ocean had still to hear its master's plead.

Annabeth's eyes flooded with tears; she knew he wanted to create a home with her. But in her hubris, she destroyed everything she had ever wanted. She betrayed the one man, that many goddesses would kill to be with. She betrayed the one person she loved more than anything.

"But I should've listened to your words more carefully. If I wasn't a love sick fool I could've seen through the facade you were showing. I have done a lot for you Chase, I have done beyond what was expected of me. However, I'm done, I'm done running after you. I'm done saving you from your hubris, I'm done with you." Percy said, standing up, and Annabeth stood with him. She took a step toward him, and Percy backed away from her.

"You were right about one thing Chase, children of Poseidon and Athena don't mix after all." Percy said, looking at her and dissolved into a wind of mist.

The Olympians stepped out of hiding and moved towards the daughter of Athena, currently on her knees, sobbing her eyes out. Athena moved to take her daughter in an embrace. Annabeth accepted her mother's open hand and cried as the man she loved was gone forever from her life.

Athena turned to Aphrodite and growled, "Did you have something to do with it?"

Aphrodite looked taken back, but soon composed herself and said, "No it wasn't me or anyone else. I don't sense any love magic on her, she made the decision to cheat on Percy by herself."

Athena nodded and turned to her daughter, "Why did you do it daughter?"

Annabeth sobbed and looked down, "After the war, everyone treated me like a queen for recovering the Athena Parthenos. They kept saying I was the smartest daughter of Athena ever, and when Percy wasn't around, I started thinking that I could do a lot better than a son of Poseidon, and when Sherman asked me out I said yes."

Most of them looked at her in disgust, and Poseidon spoke, "You did a lot better than Percy. You betrayed the son of Poseidon that refused godhood for you, for a son of Ares that ran with his tails between his legs, when he got caught. Bravo, daughter of Athena." Poseidon wanted to smite the demigoddess that broke his son's heart, but knew Percy wouldn't approve of it.

Athena glared at Poseidon, as her daughter sobbed harder. Poseidon glared back with such intensity that Athena flinched and looked away.

Before anyone could say anything, an Iris message appeared above them. "What happened to Percy Annabeth?" It was Reyna from Camp Jupiter. She looked confused, seeing the Olympians in camp half blood.

"Why do you ask?" Athena asked the Roman. She was a lot less hostile against the Romans ever since her Parthenos was restored.

"Percy had bought a piece of land in the city of New Rome, and was building a house with some of your kids, Lady Athena. He was building it as a gift for Annabeth, so they can live in peace there. But the house is in fire right now, everything is reduced to ash. The legionnaires thought it was a hate crime, but Percy walked out of the ashes and vanished in thin air." Reyna informed, and Annabeth felt even more despair fill her heart. How could she have been this stupid?

Artemis, Aphrodite, and Hestia teared up themselves. They couldn't comprehend the kind of anguish Percy must've been going through right now. The man lost his mother a few months ago, but still kept going in the hopes of being with the woman he loved. But now that too was gone.

Percy Pov

I vapor-traveled away from New Rome after destroying one of the last things that was connected to my love for Annabeth; now only one remained. The engagement ring, I appeared near the beach, and swam to an untouched part of the sea. I looked around to see that some fish were swarming me. I told them to go far away from me and tell everyone else too. They hurried off and went away.

When I was finally alone, I took out the ring and looked at it. The piece of diamond, paired with an emerald gem. My hands caught fire on fire, Greek fire, and melted the ring into nothing. That's when I finally released the wail I had been suppressing. "AAAHHHH," I shouted, and everything around me caught on Greek fire. I was underwater, but the Greek fire burned away everything within sight. When I calmed down, another blast of explosion coursed through me and I blacked out.

Line-Break

I woke up to find myself in a familiar room. It was like déjà vu. I was underwater in a room, that had big windows. Fish, and sharks swam through those windows into my room, like it was normal. That's when my memory sparked and I realized I was at my father's underwater palace. I was in Atlantis.

I sat up and immediately felt dizzy, and someone spoke, "Whoa… Calm down little brother, you are in no health to move." It was Triton, I turned to him, confused, and asked what had happened.

Triton smirked and answered, "The place you released your energy underwater was a dying volcano. The explosion caused by your powers reignited its flame and the volcano erupted. You were caught in the middle of that explosion. Father sent me to look for the disrupters and I found you, half dead, burned beyond recognition."

His answer made me panicked, 'Oh god how long was I out now?' But I remembered that I had no one to answer to or return to now. So I relaxed.

"Where is dad?" I asked my half brother.

"Lord Poseidon and the queen of the seas have requested your presence as soon as you wake up. So let's go," Triton said and looped his arm around my shoulder to steady me. We walked inside the Atlantean Throne room to see that Dad and Amphitrite were already waiting for us, sitting on their throne.

When Triton left me in the middle and walked up to his throne, I kneeled, "My Lord Poseidon, and My Lady Amphitrite."

The three of them looked confused by the formalities and dad asked, "Stand, and since when do you address me formally, son?"

I stood up and looked at them, "I am in your home father. It felt right to do so."

All three of them smiled, and Amphitrite spoke, "You are a son of Poseidon, Atlantis is as much as your home as it is for Triton."

She spoke with me for the first time ever. I didn't know how to react, and said, "You are too kind, My Lady."

She smiled and hopped off her throne and came towards me, "You don't need to be so formal Perseus. I know the first time I met you wasn't pleasant, but you can understand how your lovers treachery feels. You were the result of that, which caused my bitterness, but you have proved yourself worthy to be called a prince of the seas."

I smiled back at her and nodded. I understood her now. Now that I have been betrayed by my partner, I could understand the bitterness of Hera and Amphitrite.

"So are you going to stay in Atlantis son? The people of Atlantis have already accepted you as the crowned prince of the seas." Poseidon said, and my eyes widened.

"Wait what?" I asked, looking at him.

"Our father has declared you to be the crown prince of the seas, second in line to the throne of Poseidon after me." Triton answered and I felt dizzy; it was too much information in too little time.

However, I soon composed myself and replied, "While I'm thankful for your generosity father, I can't remain here. I would like to stay alone for sometime, and find a piece of land for myself."

Father and Amphitrite frowned that I refused to stay with them, but nodded nonetheless. I was about to take my leave when Triton spoke, "Wait."

Father, Amphitrite, and I turned to look at him to see what he wanted, and he smirked. "You say you need a piece of land to remain isolated from everyone. Why don't you use the Island you created yourself? It is in the middle of the ocean, hundreds of miles away from anyone. Father would be less worried, as you are still in his domain."

I was about to refuse his gracious offer, when I saw the look on dad's face. His eyes lit up, and he looked, pointing at me. Daring me to refuse, so I relented and agreed.

Dad clapped his hands excitedly, and turned to Triton, "Go tell the workers and Cyclops to recreate the island, and make it into a paradise. I want a palace, twice the size of Zeus', tell them to take Briares with them."

I was open-mouthed, staring at him, "Isn't that a bit overboard?" I asked as I looked at my father and stepmother, giving orders for the island that even my brother. The messenger of the sea was having trouble keeping up with.

"Nonsense, I always wanted another son as a crowned prince of seas. Now that I have the chance I am going to make it grand." Poseidon said, and laughed like a maniac. Which caused Amphitrite to whack him.

She turned to me and said, "At least stay with us till your island is finished."

I agreed to her request, and decided to stay with them for a while.
