In my last dream, I saw Percy get on a little raft, Calypso said that it would take him anywhere, and to tell me to remember he has a sister. And then Percy was on his way, Calypso was waving to him as he left, but Calypso had a sad look in her eyes, she almost looked like she wanted to cry.

The dream changed and I was that guy...Luke, I think his name was. Anyway, they were in the tunnels I was in with Annabeth. He was reading a map, and he seemed frustrated.

"Don't even know why I try to use this map, it's useless down here." He scowled.

The dreams kept changing, it was weird, it would switch to a lot of things, one time it landed on Grover and Tyson, I'm glad they're okay, and then it was land on that thing...The one that's sleeping...But now, it's stirring, getting restless. Soon it will break out of that mountain and slowly makes its way to Olympus...And I have to try and stop it.

The dream changed again, this time I was looking through Artemis's eyes, she was being weird staring at me while I slept. "So carefree, I wonder...Is it because of me?"

And just like that I was awake, "Mostly." I said with my eyes closed.

And for the first time ever, she was flustered. "Wyatt! You're awake?" She exclaimed. I smiled with my eyes closed, "Something like that, yeah."

"So, it's been a week since I was out, you guys manage to take out a lot? Or do I have to help?" I smirked at Artemis, she sighed, "We took out quite a few. But we can continue with you, if you want."

I thought about this, which wasn't hard, but I like messing with her. "I'll watch for a minute or two, who knows, it might be good for me."

Artemis crossed her arms and glared at me, "Let's just get going."

I got up and stretched, "Fine by me."

When I got to the others some of them had troubled looks, "Has anything happened?" Artemis asked concernedly. Thalia stepped forward, "More just showed up on a boat Lady Artemis."

Artemis stared at the top of the mountain, "There's no doubt they will be sending units of fifty to us, since the last time they did, they succeeded their attack…" She glanced over to me, I gave her a small smile, letting her know I'm fine.

"Even if they do…I'll obliterate them all." I growled.

I didn't realize just how much I hated Kronos and his army. If it costs me my life, then so be it, but Kronos and his army will be gone before I die.

I took a deep breath, "Let's continue with what we were doing before. But first…I have to go to camp, just for ten minutes. Please." I asked Artemis, she sighed, "Just ten minutes."

I bowed and left. When I got to camp, it was quiet, but in one place, there was smoke. I thought they were being attacked, but then I noticed there was no other smoke anywhere else. I was about to walked to the smoke, but then I saw Percy, "Well, now. I see you've returned, enjoy your little trip?" I asked him.

Percy was bewildered, "You knew where I was?"

I nodded, "Yes, but never mind that let's go over there." I said and pointed to the smoke.

Percy gulped, "Sure."

When we reach the smoke, I was a little bit shocked, Chiron was talking, "—assume he is dead," Chiron said. "After so long a silence, it is unlikely our prayers will be answered. I have asked his best surviving friend to do the final honors."

We stood at the very back, so no one noticed us. They were all looking forward, watching as Annabeth took a long green silk burial cloth, embroidered with a trident, and set it on the flames. They were burning Percy's shroud.

Annabeth turned to face the audience. She looked terrible, the last time I saw her, she seemed alright…But it's been a week…I think. Her eyes were puffy from crying, but she managed to say, "He was probably the bravest friend I've ever had. He…" Her eyes landed on us. I smiled. Her face went blood red. "He's right there!"

Heads turned. People gasped.

"Percy!" Beckendorf grinned. A bunch of other kids crowded around Percy and clapped him on the back. I heard a few curses from the Ares cabin, but Clarisse just rolled her eyes, like she couldn't believe he had the nerve to survive. Chiron cantered over and everyone made way for him.

"Hello Chiron." I said.

"Hello Wyatt, you brought him back?" He asked. I shook my head, "No-

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Annabeth interrupted me, shoving aside the other campers. I thought she was going to punch him right in the face, but instead she hugged him so fiercely Percy looked like he would pass out. The other campers fell silent.

Annabeth seemed to realize she was making a scene and pushed him away.

"I—we thought you were dead, Seaweed Brain!"

"I actually didn't think that, but go on." I told her, she narrowed her eyes at me, "You knew he wasn't dead?"

I held up my hands, "I didn't say that, I just thought that he wouldn't die so easily, I'm pretty sure I told you this already."

Annabeth let it drop, and turned to Percy. "Two weeks, Percy? Where in the world—"

"Annabeth," Chiron interrupted. "Perhaps we should discuss this somewhere more private, shall we? The rest of you, back to your normal activities!"

Without waiting for them to protest, he picked up Annabeth and Percy as easily as if we they were kittens, slugged them both on his back, and galloped off toward the Big House. I followed them.

When we got there, Chiron asked him to tell him everything. He did, but he didn't mention Calypso. "You've been gone two weeks." Annabeth's voice was steadier now, but she still looked pretty shaken up. "When I heard the explosion, I thought—"

"I know," Percy said. "I'm sorry. But I figured out how to get through the Labyrinth. I talked to Hephaestus."

"He told you the answer?" She asked.

"Well, he sort of told me that I already knew. And I do. I understand now." Percy told us.
