Percy walked into the big cabin and was greeted by Chiron and Mr. D, now Chiron was not informed of the trial until Nico told him and Mr. D was angered by the other gods using his only children's death in such a way.

"Ah Praefortis I am honored you are here" Chiron said bowing respectfully.

"Chiron trainer of heroes I am the one that should be honored" Percy said returning the bow, he still loved his old mentor and all that he had done.

"I was told Dionysus wished to speak with me" Percy said looking around for said god.

"Yes, I do so would you please follow me to my office" Mr. D said appearing out of seemingly nowhere, he does this often because he likes the look on peoples faces and was slightly disappointed when he got no reaction from Praefortis.

Percy nodded and followed Mr. D into an office like space filled with grape vines and opened cans of Coca-Cola. "I don't mean to seem rude but can you just get to the bottom of what you want I have a pressing matter to return too" Percy said growing slightly hard at thoughts of his mate.

Dionysus recognized that look anywhere and decided to heed the primordials wish "Of course I just wished to know your business here in camp I have to protect these brats" Of course Mr. D truly cared for the brats and was willing to fight and die for them if the primordial planned to attack.

"I am here to help reinforce the camp shields as well as fight this great evil that Chaos has told me of" Percy said calmly then added "I have no desire to hurt any of these demi-gods I will if they attack me or my mate is that understood."

"If someone attacks unprovoked then you cannot be held accountable" Mr. D easily agreed remembering how possessive he was and still is of his soulmate.

"Good is that all" Percy said glad that Mr. D shares the same thoughts as him.

"Yes, and I wish to thank you in advance for helping these brats while I don't like them they are useful worker bees" Mr. D said feigning indifference. With that Percy left and had to restrain himself from running back to Hades cabin because there was something he had to do first. Percy made his way to Bunker 9 because after asking around this seemed like the most likely place he would find Leo.

"Leonardo Valdez are you in here" Percy called making sure to sound official until he got his answers.

"Yep just one second and call me Leo everyone does" Leo called back after a few more moments Leo's head popped out from behind some boxes and he walked up to Percy covered in grease.

"I wish to ask you a few questions do have time or it that thing rigged to explode" Percy said unable to resist joking around Leo.

Leo seemed to relax at the joke and said "Nope I've got nothing but time but I can make explosives so don't get on my bad side.

"I've been hearing a lot about this demi-god named Percy and the camp seems to be split so I decided to ask his friends so I came to you first" Percy lied trying to gauge Leo's reaction.

Leo's face fell and said sadly but passionately "Percy was a great hero and an even greater friend and if someone tells you different they are liars."

"So why did the gods kill him if he was such a great hero" Percy asked calmly but, on the inside, he was happy at least one of his friends believed him.

Leo was silent for a moment before hesitantly saying "I don't know for sure but I think it's because Percy was so powerful and after he fell into Tartarus that power only seemed to grow."

"What would you do if this Percy was still around camp" Percy asked.

"I would say sorry for not being there for him and give him a great big hug then I would bring him to Nico because the poor kid has been working himself into the ground trying to find Percy" Leo said his eyes glazing over slightly.

"Well Nico already knows so I guess you should I'm Percy" Percy said using jazz hands.

"You do this isn't a joke is it because if it is it is not funny" Leo said glaring at Percy slightly.

"No look Nico can confirm it" Percy said then jumped into his whole spiel but leaving out the soulmate bit, it was clear that Leo wasn't going to believe him without proof so they started to walk to the Hades cabin, but before they could reach it they were stopped by Annabeth.

"Ah there you are Praefortis I've looking for" Annabeth said then she noticed Leo and sneered "Oh look the tool monkey is out of his cage what are doing with Praefortis."

"We are going to talk with Nico about something but that is none of your business so what do you want and make it quick" Percy said crossing his arms and glaring at Annabeth.

"I wanted to introduce you to make boyfriend who is also leader of this camp well co-leader as I am the other leader" Annabeth said proudly.

"Oh, is that why the shields are so weak you and your boyfriend are making it so" Percy said smirking.

"No, the shields aren't weak who told you that I'm sure they're just jealous of me and Seth" Annabeth said looking around as if someone would pop out of the bushes and fess up.

"Chaos himself told me as well as Dionysus and why would they be jealous of you puny demi-gods" Percy said then he pushed Annabeth away and continued on his path to the Hades cabin ignoring Annabeth's sputtering.

Leo started to crack up and through his laugh said "That was the best thing I've ever seen did you see he face she was so confused." Percy smiled as well and soon the two arrived at the cabin and knocked on the door it opened slowly

Percy quickly stopped smiling and looked ready to kill…
