Me and annabeth stood in my cabin in half blood hill, having got here 3 hours ago, I have to say I was shocked at how little had changed the only real differences where a lot more people in a hell of a lot more cabins, and possibly the best news I'd ever had at camp half blood no more dedicated tables, I could sit with who-ever I want rather than on my own. Although whether I'd be here long enough to take advantage of this is a different matter.

Annabeth just sat at the end of my bed as I rummaged around my cabin making it look like I was actually doing something, in reality I was just stalling. I know sooner or later I'll have to face it but for now I just don't want to., an I know that annabeth is perfectly aware that I'm stalling, but my life just got so much better than its ever been before. I'm not ready for a quest I can't come back from.

Turning around to straighten the bed behind me for the fifth time, I heard annabeth stand up. She quickly grabbed me and pulled me into a deep passionate kiss.

"It'll be fine seaweed brain" she proceeded to kiss me softer as she finished. I know I shouldn't look into her beautiful grey eyes but everything is telling me to. The moment I did I saw what she wanted me to do she wanted me to go Chiron.

"so I guess where going to Chiron now huh"

Annabeth smiled as I said that and again softly kissed me before dragging me towards the door.

It took us a while but eventually we found him training some of the first time campers by the lake. Right next to where they where training I could clearly make out a statue twice the size of the people next to it. The statue itself was a 12 foot beckendorf his left arm around a 11 foot selena who had her right arm back against beckendorf her head on his chest and Clarisse's spear in her left hand. I turned to face annabeth who had been intently watching as I stared at the statue.

"its to honour all who died fighting against kronos when you get closer it names them all on a gold plate, this is my smaller one should see the one I've designed for Olympus"

I laughed at her and grabbed hold of her hand awe descended to Chiron. Chiron looked at me with a grave look as we approached him. I saw him hurriedly send off the first year campers. Among them a boy of 13 who would have ran right into me if I had not sidestepped.

"if I have to die I'm kicking hiss ass first" I smiled at annabeth who frowned before smiling half heartedly at my attempt to joke about our situation. We then continued towards Chiron who was eagerly waiting for us.

"so I assume you are here because you are ready for your quest"

We both just stood and nodded at the se old centaur before us, but before he could continue with what he was saying Travis Stoll collapsed in front of us blood pouring from an uncountable face up.

"no time left" he choked as he spoke struggling to speak in obvious pain as we all reached to try and help him up but quickly knocking our hands away he finished what he began "Perces, Perces is attacking he's raising an army gona bring back…" we watched helpless as Travis warned us with his last breath.

A few people had since gathered around as we all stood there eyes bearing into the body of travis stoll at our feet completely shocked at the events that had transpired. I turned to annabeth and watched as a stray tear ran down her cheek as we continued to look at yet another dead friend at our feet.

"As they barge on Olympus's door" I softly whispered so only I could hear as a tear fell from my own eyes.

"a son of the messenger will be no more"
