Annabeth's POV-

Have you ever felt the feeling, when the person you think you love, ends up betraying you and your true love, the love that actually cared for you disappears. That's exactly what I'm feeling right now.

Today is August 18th, Hero's day or better known as Percy Jackson's birthday. So here I am at Olympus trying to have a good time, but feeling so broken up inside. 'Percy Jackson', a name every demigod, has learnt to worship, a name that brings back so many good and bad memories, regret, immense sadness and whole lot of other feelings.

Most of you will be wondering why I am feeling so upset. It happened years ago when, Robert, son of…

"Stop Annabeth" I thought to myself, "Thinking of him won't bring him back". "He's missing, and it's your entire fault. Now concentrate on the current matters at hand."

Hero's day is supposed to be day of happiness and joy for demigods and immortals alike. It is a day when the tales of various hero's a enacted, their myths read and a day of feasts and games. However for us immortal demigods and Olympians it is a day of regret. Immortal Demigods! You might ask. After we almost lost to Gaea, in the second giant war, the council decided to make an elite group of demigods just like the hunters, to help protect Olympus. Several of us, who led the war, joined the group and hence have remained alive for so many years.

Anyway, I am on my way to the throne room where currently a meeting is going on. Today is also the day when the whereabouts of several missing demigods, war strategies, an account of all activities held that year, quests and sightings of powerful monsters are discussed. More than anything the first topic is discussed, the whereabouts of missing Demigods. Percy Jackson, Nico Di'Angelo, Reyna, Leo Valdez and several others. Earlier it was just Percy Jackson, but about 3000 years ago several other demigods went missing. Yes, Percy Jackson is missing. The person who trusted us the most, we betrayed the most. Looking back I can't believe how stupid we were. I can't believe, I…..

"Stop Annabeth stop" I thought, "What's over is over. There is no use looking back now". I had finally reached the throne room, and quickly entered. Everyone had already arrived. "Tardy Annabeth, you're usually never late." I thought to myself. "I guess this is the punishment for getting lost in your own thoughts".

"So glad you could join us" said Athena, once I finished bowing in front of Lord Zeus. I looked around and noticed that everyone had grim expressions on their face. "I wonder, what happened. Why is everyone so grim?" I thought. My answers were immediately answered when Hades, from his temporary throne, announced. "A strong force is rising. We are not very sure who it is but we must begin preparing. There is a high chance that it might be Gaea."

"What!" I thought. "But we already beat her" said Clarisse. "Yes we know, but with the help of a certain someone, there is definitely a chance it might be her" replied Athena. Anger filled my mind, "Stupid Robert, it is entirely his fault. I don't know how we trusted him" I thought.

"If only Percy was here" said Thalia and sighed. "One Demigod will not make a great difference" said Athena. "But he has led us in both the wars. He knows how to be a true leader and can make a great deal of a difference", said Clarisse. "Oh no, did I just compliment Prissy". "However shocked I am right now, whatever Clarisse said is true. Percy is pretty powerful", said Thalia. "Not to mention scary" said Travis. "Let's face it we need him"

"Silence" shouted Zeus. "He is not here right now and we have to fight the war without now we must focus on how to defeat the new threat. I believe Gaea is not only rising, the titans have formed an alliance with her. It is going to be a difficult battle." "Yes, we have warned you. Now everyone please report back at camp and think of strategies that could be helpful. We will have another meeting next week" said Athena. "Council dismissed" said Zeus.

We all left Olympus, processing the information. Little did we know that the Gods were hiding something.

3rd Person POV-

"Did we do the right thing" asked Apollo. "Yes, we should have told them about the other threat to" said Hermes. "No, it would have caused, mass panic", said Poseidon. "Right now we have to look for allies that will help us in this war"

"What about me" came a voice from nowhere. "I can help you."
