10 MONTHS LATER:

ANNABETH XI:

Percy and I had finally just graduated high school.I had graduated with straight As, Percy on the other hand had graduated with Bs and Cs, but it wouldn't really affect the fact that we're going to college in New Rome. Right now, we were driving to Camp Half Blood, we were gonna stay here for the summer and then move to New Rome two weeks before school starts. I'm not exactly sure what we're going to do during our time at Camp Half Blood, the only people there was Piper, Jason and Nico. We get postcards from Leo time to time and sometimes we've Iris messaged them. Hazel, Frank, Jason and Piper haven't really kept in tough that much. I guess it's because they're really busy. And since cell phones attract monsters, that makes it really hard to stay in touch with people.

"Percy, are we almost there?" I asked.

"I dunno, I've never really drive here before. It's normally been by boat or pegasus or even Frank," he said.

I chuckled when he said Frank, although I did wonder how he and Hazel were.

"Well, you would've had to have driven here sometime, right?" I asked.

"Oh yeah I did. I was twelve, and then I had to kill a minotaur, I think I still have the horn from that," he said.

"I remember that, you talked in your sleep," I said.

"You acted like you were totally unimpressed with the fact that I killed a minotaur," Percy said.

"It was pretty impressive for a first-timer," I said. "But I've seen better."

"Have you ever killed a minotaur when you were twelve?" Percy asked.

"I would have played capture the flag for about five years, so I didn't find it that impressive. And I was running away from tons of monsters on my way to Camp Half Blood," I explained.

"Well—" he started.

"I killed monsters with a hammer," I added.

"Okay I can't compete with that," Percy said.

I smiled.

"Hey, isn't the turn to go to Camp Half Blood?" I asked and pointed down the road.

"I don't know, I was trusting you for directions," he said.

"I think it is!" I exclaimed. I couldn't wait to get back to Camp Half Blood.

PERCY XII:

I drove the car down the highway and then turned at what looked like the road that led to Camp Half Blood. The road soon turned from barely any trees to a forest. Soon, through the forest I could see the big hill. I parked the car just outside the border. I really hope a monster doesn't come by and crush my car. I don't think Piper would agree to charmspeak a new car for me. And I don't think I could take a pegasus all around San Francisco once we get there. I would have to ask Chiron if we could take the car into camp, we had most of our stuff in there. Which wasn't really much, but I still needed that stuff. We got out of the car and started to walk up the hill. Jason and Piper spotted us and ran over.

"Hey, it's so great to see you!" Piper said giving us both a huge hug.

"I'm so glad you're here!" Jason said and joined the hug.

"Nice to see you too," I said.

"I know, it's been so long. Do you think we're allowed to take our car into camp?" Annabeth said.

"I don't know," Piper said.

"Yeah, you'll have to ask Chiron," Jason agreed.

"How long will you be staying?" Piper asked.

"For most of the summer," I said.

"Oh that's so awesome!" Piper exclaimed.

"Well, we better go see Chiron," I said. "I don't want my car to get crushed by monsters."

"Hey, before we go, have any more demigods shown up at camp?" Annabeth asked.

"Yeah, we had three new ones show up last month. They're on a quest at the moment," Jason said.

"Oh that's cool. Come on lets go," I said.

"Okay, we'll catch you later," Annabeth said and took my hand.

We walked over to the big house. Grover walked past.

"Grover!" I exclaimed.

"Percy! Annabeth" he exclaimed.

We ran up and hugged him.

"I haven't seen you in so long," he said.

"Yeah, I know. We're here for the whole summer," Annabeth said.

"That's awesome, look I'll see you around. I've gotta go rescue some demigods," he said.

"Yeah, see you soon," I said and he ran off.

He had grown a lot since I last saw him. He'd gotten a lot taller, and his horns clearly stuck out.

We walked up to the big house and I knocked on the door.

JASON XIII:

"We have almost finished meeting with all the Gods," I told Piper.

"Really? Wow, we just have to get all the designs done and then get the construction done," she said.

"It's not that easy, Pipes. Since most Gods and Goddesses wanted shrines, because they either don't want or have any children, we need to design a building to put all the shrines in. Also, we have to get that done at Camp Jupiter too. But, that shouldn't be too much of a problem, considering that they have really good builders over there. It's here I'm mostly concerned about," I said.

"Well, I got about three quarters of the designs done," she said.

"That's great, we should talk to Hazel and Frank about it," I said.

"Yeah, we haven't Iris messaged them in about two weeks," Piper said.

"They said they have room for more rooms and shrines," I said.

"They had better," Piper said. "We didn't interview over one hundred Gods and Goddesses for nothing."

"Yeah, I know. But maybe the Gods will settle down once we do," I said.

"I doubt it," she said.

"Yes, but I hope so," I said.

"How do you think Leo and Calypso are going?" she asked randomly.

"I don't know. We haven't spoken to them in a while. I'm sure they're getting on fine," I said.

"I hope so, I wish Leo stuck around a little longer after he came back from the dead," Piper said.

"Yeah, I know. It would be nice to hear from him a little more," I agreed.

"I get that he wanted to please Calypso, and I get that she just wanted to leave," Piper said. "But, at least let us know you're not dead."

I chuckled, she did have a point.

PIPER XIV:

"Come on, we should go and design a few more shrines. Hopefull they'll be done by next year at the least," Jason said.

It had been a lot of work. But, I'd gotten to spend heaps of time with Jason so it was totally worth it.

"We've asked every God and Goddess if they know anyone that we haven't got on our list," I said.

"Yeah, come on. We can work in my bunk, there's no one there," he said.

"I just thought of something. What about the God, Pegasus? Have we interviewed him?" I asked.

"We haven't, I couldn't get in touch. I can try and Iris message him again, but I'm not sure what I can do. He stays in hiding. Word is that Reyna met him, we could ask her about it," he said.

"Come on, lets go to your cabin and try and get this together," I said.

"Okay, come on," he said and took my hand.

Lacy came running up to us.

"Piper!" she said out of breath.

"Hey Lacy, what's up?" I asked.

"I uh..." she said so out of breath that you could barely understand her.

"Catch your breath," I told her and she walked with us.

She waited a few moments and caught her breath.

"Hazel, Reyna, Ella, Tyson and Frank are here," she said, still a little out of breath.

"They are? Why on such short notice?" Jason asked.

"Sorry, I'm not exactly sure," she explained.

"Okay, anything else?" I asked.

"They asked me to come and get you two, just go to the big house," Lacy said.

"Thanks Lacy, I'll talk to you later, okay?" I said.

She nodded and ran off to do something. What could Hazel, Reyna and Frank want right now? I thought that we'd planned some social events with Camp Jupiter. And why would they come on such short notice?

"Do you know why they're here?" I asked.

"No, I don't," he said with a confused face.

We had reached The Big House, Chiron was waiting at the gates for us.

"Good, you two are here. They're inside, with Percy and Annabeth," Chiron said.

"Okay, what's the news?" Jason asked.

"I think it's better if they tell you," Chiron said.

"Okay," I said.

We hurried inside. Rachel, Percy, Annabeth, Reyna, Tyson, Ella, Frank and Hazel were already waiting for us.

HAZEL XV:

Piper and Jason walked into the room and sat down. Oh gods, I couldn't even believe what we had found. I really didn't want it to be true.

"Okay, what have you found?" Jason asked.

I guess nobody wanted to have a nice greeting. I'm guessing that Chiron told them we were here. Everyone waited a few moments, everyone looked around the room, just waiting for someone to say something. I squeezed Frank's hand; I'm pretty sure even he was nervous about this.

"We think there might be a new prophecy," Reyna broke the silence.

"What?" Percy coughed.

"It's not certain, though," I confirmed.

"How do you know?" Annabeth asked.

"Books," Ella simply said. "Books, books, books."

"Ella was looking through some books," Tyson explained. "And she read out a verse, it was new and I thought it was possible."

"So then he brought it to me," Reyna said.

"And we took a look at it," Frank said.

"We're hoping it doesn't come true for a while," I said. "And with Octavian being dead, we brought it to Rachel."

"From what I've seen so far; it looks like a new prophecy," Rachel said.

"Well, we can't be sure," Reyna said. "Rachel hasn't said it yet."

"It's only a matter of time before I do," she said.

"Are we involved in it?" Percy asked. "Because I do not want to be in another prophecy, two is enough for one lifetime."

"Even one is enough for one lifetime," Annabeth agreed.

"What about Leo?" Piper asked. "He should know too."

"We're going to try and contact him later," Reyna said.

"Is there a chance that we're going to be in it again?" Percy asked.

"Not sure, but we doubt it," Reyna said.

"What is the prophecy?" Jason asked.

Rachel opened her mouth to say something.

"'Five demigods must win the war; to save the world and win the Gods'" Ella said for her.

"Yeah, that's the one," Rachel said.

"That's it? That doesn't say much," Percy said.

"Neither did the last one," I pointed out.

"What does 'Win with the Gods' even mean?" Piper asked.

"At least it's only five demigods this time," Jason said.

"That still could be us," Percy said.

"Percy, I highly doubt that you'll be in another prophecy," Rachel said.

"I hope so," Percy said.

"The rest of us do, too," Piper said.

I really hoped that I wasn't in the next prophecy, I had to agree with Annabeth being in one prophecy was enough for one lifetime. Well, two lifetimes in my case. I'm still worried that I would still go back to the Underworld. I noticed Frank hadn't said much, I gave his hand another squeeze and he just looked at me. He had a worried look on his face.

FRANK XVI:

I was kind of worried, what if the prophecy did include us? Hazel looked reassuringly at me. She seemed to not think so, and I hoped she was right. I didn't want to almost die again, I just wanted to live life.

"But it hasn't been said by Rachel, so it's not that close, right?" I asked.

"We're not sure," Reyna said.

"Well, I've been able to say things for quests, but I'm not sure about big prophecies," Rachel admitted.

"I really hope that this isn't in the near future," I said.

"I think I can say this for everyone, that we hope so too, Frank," Annabeth said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"So... now what?" Hazel asked. "It's not like we can do anything."

"I guess we just wait," Reyna said. "But we have to be prepared if anything happens in the meantime."

"Have the Gods been in contact, lately?" Hazel asked.

Everyone looked at Jason, he'd been working on his project.

"Minor Gods have, not sure about major Gods," Piper answered for him.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"Oh, I guess we forgot to tell you. I'm working with Jason on his project," Piper explained.

"Oh, sorry," I said.

"It's fine," she replied.

"So has anyone's parents kept in touch?" Hazel asked.

Everyone looked at Percy.

"Why is everyone looking at me?" Percy complained.

"Because your Dad actually likes you," Annabeth said.

"Your parents like you guys," Percy protested.

"Not as your Dad likes you," Annabeth replied.

"Our Dad," Tyson corrected.

I'd forgotten that he was here.

"You'd think after our last conversation they'd actually make an effort," Jason said.

"Well, to answer your question, no. I haven't heard from Dad," Percy said.

"That could be a sign," Rachel said.

"No! There are no signs! It's not going to happen yet!" Percy exclaimed.

"Percy's right, for now there are no proper signs, yet. Just keep an eye out, there's a chance it might be in the next generation," Reyna said calmly.

"We could try contacting Apollo," Piper suggested.

"As good as that idea is, I don't think it'll work," Jason said.

"He won't tell us," Rachel agreed.

"There's not really anything we can do about it," Annabeth said.

"We only came here for a meeting, we've got to get back soon," Reyna said.

"Why so soon?" Piper asked.

"Because Dylan is waiting for her," I teased and rolled my eyes.

"Who's Dylan?" Jason, Piper, Percy, Rachel, Tyson and Annabeth asked at the same time.

They giggled afterwards.

"Her boyfriend," Hazel and I rolled our eyes.

Reyna blushed a little.

REYNA XVII:

I felt myself blushing. Piper shot me a smile, I smiled back. Dylan was kind of perfect, even though we'd only been going out for a few weeks. He had dark brown hair and blue eyes, he had perfect abs and a killer smile. He was one of those mortals that could see through The Mist.

"He's mortal," I said.

Piper raised her eyebrows, I shot her a look that meant 'shut up' and she just rolled her eyes. She'd been shooting me looks all throughout the meeting.

"Does he know about Camp Jupiter?" Piper asked.

"Yes, he's one of those mortals that can see through The Mist," I said.

"Like me," Rachel said.

"And my Mum," Percy said.

"And I can bend The Mist," Hazel said proudly.

"Okay, well he can't do that," I said.

"Is the meeting over?" Jason asked.

"Yeah, I think so," Rachel said.

"Okay, well maybe I could stay for one night," I said.

"Sweet!" Frank exclaimed.

"I guess that means we're staying too," Tyson said.

"Travel is not good for harpies," Ella said.

She'd been pruning her feathers throughout the meeting, so she'd kept quiet. She flew up and then perched on Tyson's shoulder.

"I'm going to go see Rainbow!" Tyson said and bounced happily out of the room.

I chuckled a little at Tyson's enthusiasm, Rainbow was his beloved Hippocampus.

"We should have a girls night," Piper said to Annabeth, Hazel and I.

"I don't see why not," Annabeth said. "It's been ages since we've hung out."

"Yeah, it sounds great," Hazel said.

"Sure, I'll join," I said. "But first, I wanna say hi to Nico and maybe even Coach Hedge."

"Okay," Piper said.

"I'll catch you later guys," I said and walked out of the room.

I walked outside and went to the Hades' cabin. I knocked on the door.

"Reyna! I didn't know you'd be here," Nico said.

NICO XVIII:

It was a surprise to see Reyna at the door. I guess she was visiting Camp Half Blood, not sure what for though. She gave me a big hug, despite my attitude in life. I still wasn't much of a hugger, unless it was Will. I blushed at the thought.

"Yeah, well we think there's another prophecy. We just had a meeting about it," she explained.

"Why didn't you invite me?" I asked.

"Because you weren't involved that much in the last prophecy, if you get what I'm saying. We were trying to see if it might connect with the last one, no connections so far," she said.

"Well that's good I suppose," I said.

"Can I come in?" she asked.

"Oh of course," I said.

"I'm staying the night tonight, and then going home tomorrow," she said.

"Why go so soon?" I asked.

"I was going to leave this afternoon," she pointed out.

"Okay, but why leave so soon?" I asked.

She blushed.

"From the look in your eyes and the way you're blushing, I'm guessing it's not because you need to get back there to be praetor," I said.

"I have a boyfriend," she smiled.

"That's great, so do I," I said.

"You're gay?" she asked surprised.

"Yeah," I said.

"I'd never pinned you as gay," she admitted.

"Well, when you lent your strength to me I was worried when you said that you felt my that you might find out," I admitted.

"So, give me all the details," she said.

"Alright, but then you have to do the same for me." I said.

Being happy, wasn't all that bad. Maybe I'd just been avoiding being happy in my life after Bianca died. Maybe I thought that it's not okay to be happy after that, that she wouldn't want me to be happy or something. Although, I wish I'd felt happy earlier though; because it felt really good.

"Go on," she said after a moments pause.

"His name is Will Solace, we've been going out for almost ten months now and I think that's it," I said.

"Okay, my boyfriend is called Dylan Smith and we've been going out for almost a month," she said.

"You know, it seems like everyone's love life is working out. Hazel and Franks', Percy and Annabeths', Piper and Jasons', Leo and Calypsos', You and Dylans' and me and Will," I said. "It's a nice feeling."

"Yeah it is," she agreed. She paused for a moment. "Well, I wanted to go see Gleeson Hedge before tomorrow."

"Well, I'll give you an update before you leave. He's really happy with Mellie and Chuck, his little kid, has grown quite a bit. Chuck loves smashing things, a lot like his father, so don't bring anything valuable with you. Poor Clarisse has to clean up enough after him," I said.

"Thanks Nico," she chuckled.

"Anytime," I replied.

"I'll see you around," she said and walked out.

Now, I think I was going to see Will.

LEO XIX:

I jumped off Festus and then helped Calypso down. Gods, I loved her.

"So, we're in Sydney now," I said. "Where to?"

We had just landed right out in front of the Opera House. Man, that building looked pretty cool. I'm sure Annabeth would enjoy it. I should send everyone a postcard with a kangaroo on it. We'd decided to go to Asia after Europe, and then to Australia. Besides, Calypso had been quite interested in the koala bears and wanted to hug one. So we stopped over Russia, China, Taiwan, Laos, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and then Indonesia before coming here. But not in that order.

"Is there a zoo somewhere?" she asked.

"Well, we'll have to find a hotel first and put down our bags," I said. "Then we can go sight-seeing."

We'd discovered that there were demigods and monsters all over the world. It was just out of the Gods' reach. Lots of them had moved from America before they even knew they were demigods. We met a couple that owned a demigod traveling service, so they recommended different hotels that we could use drachma for. For some reason I had more drachma than actual dollars, it also came in useful with the fact that we didn't have to exchange money. I exchanged in every country though. But with the amount we'd spent and the amount that they charge to exchange it, we only have about ten Australian dollars.

"Okay," she replied.

"Do you think they'll have Dragon parking?" I asked.

"I don't know, I haven't been here before," she protested.

"Hmm. We could catch a cab," I said.

"What's the hotels name?" she asked.

"Sheraton On The Park," I replied. "Says it's near a park so we could let Festus stay at the park."

"Festus, you can go and play somewhere now, but no disturbing any locals or kangaroos."

Festus creaked in agreement and flew off somewhere. I flagged down a cab.

"Hello," he smiled. "Where would you like to go?"

He had a very thick accent.

"The Sheraton On The Park," I said.

"Okay, not from around here are you?" he asked.

"No, we're from the U.S.," I said.

Which was a lie, but the easiest way to explain things. I don't think I should tell him about the other world out there.

"Oh yeah, whereabouts?" he asked.

"We've both moved so many times that we're not even sure," Calypso said.

"That's fair enough," he said. "So are you here on holiday?"

"Yes, we're traveling around the world at the moment. We've been to Mexico, most of Europe and some of Asia. Next we plan on going to Africa and South America."

"That sounds pretty cool, I've barely been outside of Australia. I've only been to Bali and Plantation Island in Fiji," he said.

"We just went to Bali," I said. "It's really nice."

"What's Fiji like?" Calypso asked.

"Oh it's beautiful. I went there as a kid, real nice place," he said.

"I think we'll have to add another stop on our trip," I said.

"Yes, you should. We're here now," he said.

"Thanks, man," I said.

"That's five dollars please," he said.

I handed him five dollars.

"Thank you," Calypso said.

He drove off. I walked into the hotel, it was amazing. We went to check in.

"Hello, how can I help you?" the front desk lady asked.

"We'd like to check in," Calypso said.

"Okay, names please?" she asked.

"Leo Valdez," I said.

"Ah yes, a room with a kind size bed, am I correct?" she asked.

"Yes, that's us," I said.

"Demigod, right?" she whispered.

"Yes," I whispered back.

"So you'll be paying in drachmas?" she asked.

"Yes," I replied.

"Okay great, follow me to your room," she said and lead us to the lift.

She pressed the button and a lift opened immediately. The doors closed.

"So are you a demigod, too?" I asked.

"Yes, child of Athena," she said. "You?"

"Child of Hephastus and this is Calypso," I said.

"Calypso as in the nymph that got stranded on Ogygia?" she asked.

I nodded.

"Oh wow, so I'm guessing you miraculously found Ogygia again after landing on it the first time," she said.

"Yep," I replied proudly.

"Wow, that's pretty cool," she replied.

The lift stopped and the doors opened, we piled out and she lead us down a hallway.

"So this is floor seven, your room number is 710," she said. "Your room should overlook Hyde Park." she said and opened the door to our room.

"Thank you," I said.

"If you need anything just call the lobby, we hope you enjoy your stay," she said and left and the door shut behind her.

I waited a few moments.

I kissed Calypso's cheek.

"Shall we check out the view?" she asked.

"Definitely," I replied.

We walked over to the window and saw a rather large gold thing playing in the park. It was Festus. I chuckled a little, I wonder what the mortals see. A giant golden retriever?

"Hey, look it's Festus," I said.

"Yeah," she said and kissed my cheek.

Tomorrow, I was gonna send a postcard to everyone. But first, I needed sleep and so did Calypso.

"Come on babe, we should sleep. We're jet lagged," I said.

I kicked of my shoes and lay down on the bed. She took off her sneaker and lay down in my arms. She snuggled into me and I soon felt myself falling asleep.

So, that's my... third? Yes, third chapter thingy. I hope you like it, and I'm running out of ideas to write about. The next one is 10 years later, and I know what to do for most of them. But should I do a 10 decades later and then say how they die? Nah, I don't think I should, but I'm open to any ideas if anyone has any. Like, should I make Calypso still be immortal and Leo becomes immortal somehow? I'm not sure but review if you want, I guess. It's nice to hear people's opinions. So, yeah that's it. I will hopefully post a new chapter thingy soon. This chapter thing also took forever to write.
