Annabeth:

I didn't know what to do, on one had I was happy for becoming the architect of Olympus but on the other I was sad and shocked to have lost Percy. He was the last person I truly card about, and now he was a god. Of course I was proud of him, but now I was alone. I waited for everyone to leave and no one noticed I was gone. I then saw Hestia and the now god, Percy talking and coming my way. I placed the raggedy old Yankees baseball cap on my head and watched as the two walked in silence.

I waited for Percy and Hestia to separate so I could speak to him alone. Eventually the two Olympians came across a giant wooden log cabin that had not been damaged and Hestia went inside after giving Percy a hug. I took my hat off and ran at him. I said his name and just before I jumped into him he turned and caught me mid flight.

His new found strength embraced me and I heard him ask "what are you still doing hear?" He pulled me off of him and we sat down on a curb. "I needed to talk to you." I began "I did love Luke but that didn't mean I didn't love you to." I hesitated on almost every word. A sudden realization came upon the gods face and he turned to me and looked me straight in the eye. "No, I can't go down this road with you, I can't, I thought that I loved you but now I don't know, I need time to think." He said almost shattering my heart.

"Okay" I said with tears beginning to swell in my eyes. He put his hand on my chin and made me look at him. He gave me a kiss on the forehead and teleported me to camp half blood where everyone was beginning dinner.

Percy:

I walked the streets of Manhattan, returned to its formal glory, as thoughts jumbled up in my head. Annabeth loved me but also Luke, I was now immortal and even an Olympian. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something hurdling towards me. I turned and heard "hey boss" as soon as the object hit me into the dirt. "Boss, boss look what they did to me!" Blackjack said. As I got up I looked at the creature. No longer was he a Pegasus but now he was an obsidian black dragon.

I told him that I needed him to find a nice place for my new home. He did as I commanded and I continued my walk. I went inside a coffee shop and before sitting down ordered a large mocha late. Sitting across the café was a woman, she noticed there were no more seats left and made her way towards me.

She asked if the seat was taken and I shook my head. She sat down and we made small talk. Her name was Juliet and she had blond hair and blue eyes. She was a clear-sighted mortal and I even suspected she was a demigod, maybe a child of Apollo. I went straight out and asked, "do you know about the gods" she hesitated about something before continuing with a fake voice, "what do you mean like the roman ones." Without thinking I changed my appearance I became more muscular and had a more powerful appearance. Juliet freaked out but then calmed down. "So which god are you and what do you want from me?" she asked. "I'm Tempus, god of time, earth, air and prince of the sea." She was stunned "and for what I want, I just want to sit and drink my coffee" she smiled and relaxed.

"Whose your parent" I asked her. She began to speak "Apollo." "As I suspected." I said. I finished my coffee and waited for her to do the same, "why are you so far from the roman camp?" I asked "I was called to Olympus, for my work in the fight on mount Tamalpais. "What did you do?" I asked. "I killed a titan" she replied. "I myself killed a titan before I became a god. " I said as she finished her hot chocolate. I offered her a hand and we left the café. We walked towards central park and we talked some more. I felt like I could do anything with this person I just met. I felt so open with her, like I didn't need to try hard at anything. I didn't need to impress her or make her laugh I just did it naturally.

Blackjack came flying back and now had a saddle on his back. I let him come next to us and she was frightened at first but then I put my hand on her shoulder and picked her up and put her on the dragon, "oh no, oh no, get me off of this think right now" she begged, but I just got on right behind her and told blackjack to go. He instantly flew up in the air and we soared over the east river. My dad decided to both the East River and the Hudson River a seashell to help purify their waters. Juliet screamed and yelled as we came closer and closer to the water letting our feet skim the water just slightly. We then flew across long island sound, and into a green portal.

We flew out of the portal just next to the Olympian counsel room and we walked in. I pulled a staff with a sand clock on it out of thin air and slammed it in the ground sending a beam of green light with a shock wave of power. One by one the Olympians began to flash in to the throne room. "What is the meaning of this?" Zeus asked. "This girl is the meaning" I replied as the gods shifted to their roman forms. "Right" Jupiter began "we are granting you with one wish." She was shocked. Then she replied. "I want to be relived of my godly scent and to never be found by any monster unless I go looking for them or am on a quest." With that me and the other Olympians stood and pointed our hands at Juliet and let off a powerful beam of light.

Some gods left and only me Juliet her dad and I where left in the counsel. Apollo ran to his daughter and gave her a big hug tears running down Juliet's eyes. I was about to go out of the room to give them some privacy but Juliet ran up to me calling my name. I turned and she stopped running about half and inch from me. Our lips so close I could feel her breathe. " What are we doing?" I whisper to her. "I like to call it very close talking" she replied. She made me laugh and then before separating I gently kissed her and she smiled.
