Percy was happy when Damasen was revived.
"My friends." The giant said, taking Percy and Annabeth up into his arms for a gentle hug. Or at least gentle for a giant.
"I told you that you'd get to see the sun and stars again someday." Percy told the giant.
Damasen smiled and said "I thank you my friends."
"So what will you do now that you're free?" Annabeth asked.
"I honestly do not know. I suppose I shall travel the world and see what I have missed. I will keep in touch and let you know when I have found a new home." Damasen said.
"Good to hear." Percy said, happy that for once, the gods had followed through immediately in freeing a wrongly imprisoned soul.
"Just remember to stay out of trouble." Annabeth told anti Ares.
"I will." Damasen promised, right before he disappeared.
Percy smiled, knowing that his friend had found what he was looking for.
"You wish we could've save Bob to, don't you?" Annabeth asked.
"Yeah, but honestly, there was no way the Olympians would ever agree to let one of Kronos's brothers roam the earth. Especially one they knew had attacked the daughter of Zeus and the sons of Poseidon and Hades." Percy said.
Annabeth nodded and then said "Come on Seaweed Brain, don't we still have plans to go over to your parents for dinner tonight?"
Percy nodded and took his girlfriend's hand as they headed towards the elevator.
"Do you really think the gods will keep their word?" Piper asked Jason as the 2 of them and Leo walked towards the elevator.
"Only time can tell, but hopefully, the peace we've brought to Olympus will at least until after we die." Jason said.
Leo nodded and said "It would be nice to be able to live without someone molding our destinies for us."
"At least you wound scoring a goddess as your girlfriend. That wouldn't have happened if you weren't on the quest." Piper pointed out.
"I never said it was all bad." Leo said with a grin.
"But still, let's hope that we can get some peace." Jason said.
"Well with all the new cabins at Camp Half Blood and the new shrines at Camp Jupiter, all the gods should receive proper respect and won't declare war on each other." Piper said, since Jason had taken the initiative to make sure all of the gods, were properly recognized.
That meant that at Camp Half Blood, more cabins, most of them being honorary, were constructed in honor of all of the other gods, such as Kymopoleia and more shrines at Camp Jupiter were constructed as well.
Jason nodded and said "Yeah, but let's just hope that's enough."
"Only the future will tell." Leo said and both of his friends agreed.
When Percy and Annabeth arrived at Percy's parents' apartment, they found that dinner was waiting for them.
"Sorry we're late. We got called to Olympus." Percy said as he and Annabeth sat down at the table.
"Why?" his mother asked, concerned.
"Rewards for defeating Gaea and the giants." Annabeth told her.
"Kind of late isn't it?" Sally asked.
"They said that they were waiting until Leo got back so they could honor all the heroes of Olympus at once." Percy explained.
"So, what did each of you get as a reward?" Paul asked.
"I made the gods swear to stop involving us half-bloods in their petty problems." Percy said.
"Good, now maybe I'll stop having heart attacks every day." Sally said.
"And about you Annabeth?" Paul asked his stepson's girlfriend.
"Remember how we told you a giant helped us escape Tartarus?" Annabeth asked, since aside from the crew of the Argo 2 and Nico di Angelo, their mortal parents were the only other people Percy and Annabeth had told the full story to.
"Yes. Damasen wasn't it?" Paul asked.
Percy nodded and said "Yeah, before we left his hut, I promised him he'd see the sun and the stars again."
"And I made good on that promise. The gods agreed to release his soul from Tartarus. We saw him before we left the palace." Annabeth said.
"Do you know where he is now?" Sally asked.
"Damasen said he'd keep in touch with us, but for now, he said he's going to travel the world to find out on what he missed." Percy answered.
When Percy and Annabeth returned to Camp Half Blood after dinner, they headed down to the amphitheater, where the campfire was just getting started.
They took their seats and Percy put his arm around Annabeth's shoulder as the mood fire grew even higher and actually turned blue.
"I can't remember the last time the fire was this high?" Annabeth said
"Well, why shouldn't be high? After all, we've got loads to celebrate for." Percy said with a grin.
"I suppose so." Annabeth agreed as she looked around the amphitheater and saw so many happy sights.
Jason and Piper were sitting close to them, singing along with the rest of the camp. Leo and Calypso were sitting near the fire and Leo roasted marshmallows in his hand to his girlfriend's s'mores. Travis Stoll and Katie Gardner were sitting next to each other, hand in hand, since the 2 had finally got together after Juniper had found them making out in the woods. Connor and Cecil were gluing the Ares cabin, minus Clarisse, since she was dating their brother Chris, to their seats, and even Dionysus, who had been reinstated as the camp director, looked like he was in a party mood.
"I hope Frank, Reyna and Hazel made it back to Camp Jupiter okay." She than said.
"Relax, I'm sure they're fine." Percy said with a smile, knowing that since they had gone home via Arion, no one could or would mess with them.
At long last, they could all just sit back and enjoy their reward. Peace. Something that Percy had never even thought of being possible before now.
