Kind of short, but I've been through a very busy time ;s
I kept my tears inside for six days, but then Chiron said something that ruined everything.
'I think there's no hope left. I want you to make a shroud for Percy to burn at his burial.'
'Since it looks like Percy isn't coming back, and his brother isn't here, I want you to make a shroud for Percy. You're alright with that?'
Go to Tartarus, I thought, Percy will come back. 'Yeah, sure.'
Chiron frowned and sat forward, looking concerned. 'I know this hurts you Annabeth, but you're his best surviving friend here at camp. Please, forgive me.'
And with that I ran out of the Big House, straight to my cabin.
After a long, sleepless night I decided that I had to start working on the design of Percy's shroud. I'd made 7 designs but at the end of the day I chose the one that was completely green, like Percy's eyes, with a trident on it.
At diner I wanted to ask Beckendorf to make the trident, but he wasn't at the Hephaestus table. So I went to Silena to ask her where he was. 'Charlie is at the entrance of the Labyrinth, working on something in his tent.'
When I finally got there I noticed that they made a tent for each god.
Zeus' tent looked like cloud and Hera's was made of the feathers of a peacock. The one of Poseidon seemed like it was made of waves. The Athena tent was completely grey accept for the big brown owl along the side. The tent of the Dionysus twins was covered with grapes and Hermes' tent was of course the biggest one, brown with over the entrance a caduceus. Artemis had one too: completely covered with fur braided with silver. Apollo's was as bright as the sun and I heard music coming out. Then you had the Ares tent which was blood red and the tent sacred to Demeter was made of cereals, grass and flowers. The totally pink tent was Aphrodite's. At last: the Hephaestus tent, which looked like a mini-forge. I knocked on the metal door.
'Come in!' Beckendorf yelled. 'Oh, hey Annabeth.' He said putting away the piece of metal he was working with. 'What brings you here?'
'Well, I have this idea for a shroud for Percy...'
'Can I see it?' He asked interested.
'Of course, here.'
'Hm, you want me to make the trident?' I nodded. 'Alright! I'll give it to you tomorrow.'
