~•3rd POV•~
The figure walked up Half-Blood hill and stopped before the campers. All of the gods and campers had weapons in their hands, prepared to defend themselves if needed. The figure didn't seem fazed by this and he lifted his hand to his hood. He flipped back his hood and said, "Hey guys."

Everyone looked at the man blankly. His face seemed familiar, but nothing else resembled anyone they have met. Thalia was the one to ask what everyone was thinking, "Umm, sorry, but who are you?"

Percy was confused, he knew he looked different from when they last saw him, but he thought at least someone would recognize him. He held out his hand in a 'one second' position and made a mirror of ice. He was somewhat surprised at what he saw. It had been two years since he last saw his reflection properly.

He was 6"5, pale, white haired, and had a very muscular lean build. His body looked to be chiseled out of marble. He made his ice and snow cloak turn to vapor. He was only wearing white skinny jeans and a white t-shirt that hugged his muscles. All in all he thought he looked pretty good.

He made the mirror melt before turning back to the crowd. Many of the girls present were blushing. He stood there awkwardly because of the girls staring at him. He cleared his through and said, "So... none of you recognize me?"

Everyone shook their head and Thalia spoke up again, "No, now tell us who you are." She said while aiming her bow at him. Percy put on a mock hurt face before saying, "You know that hurts Thals, that hurts right here." He pointed at his heart. Thalia got mad when the figure called her Thals. Only her close friends can call her that.

Thalia shot the arrow aiming for his arm and said, "Only my friends can call me that." Much to everyone's surprise he caught it. He did it so casually, he made it look like it was an everyday occurrence.

Percy shook his head, "Oh, come on Pinecone face, you don't consider me your friend? That hurts, its only been six years, and you already forgot your dear cousin." He said with a smirk. Many people gasped in realization.

Poseidon was the first to respond by slowly walking forward. "Percy, is that you my boy?" He asked almost in tears. Percy nodded and said, "hey dad." That was all Poseidon needed to rush forward and crush his son in a hug. Both father and son were crying from the reunion.

After a few tearful minutes they pulled back. Poseidon was the first to say anything, "I missed you Percy." "I missed you too." Poseidon backed up just in time for Percy to crushed into a flying hug from Thalia. Percy laughed as he fell from the force. Thalia was openly crying into his shoulder as he hugged her. Percy was whispering comforting words into her ear to help her calm down.

When Thalia pulled back her eyes were red from crying. Percy used his thumb to wipe her tears away before saying, "Hey Thals, it's good to see you." Thalia went from overly happy to pissed in a second flat. She straightened up and slapped Percy with as much force as possible. When she hit him, much to everyone's surprise, he didn't move or even flinch. Thalia yelped and held her hand like it was hurt.

"What the Hades? Is your skin made of rock or something!" Thalia exclaimed. Percy smiled sheepishly, "No, just very dense muscle." "Whatever" Thalia muttered to herself. Percy just smirked and turned to the still shocked group of Demigods and gods.

Percy mock looked hurt and said, "You know, it really hurts when you see your friends for the first time in six years, and they just stare at you like you grew a third head." This snapped everyone out of their shock. They all began to crowd around him giving him hugs and say hi.

After almost an hour of people attacking Percy with hugs, everyone except for three people had greeted him. He three people left were Annabeth, Leo, and Calypso. Percy did a double take when he saw Leo and Calypso. He walked up to them then began to circle them. He formed a stick out of ice and poked Leo in the cheek.

"Umm guys, at I the only one seeing a dead man and a girl who was imprisoned on an island?" Percy said while poking Leo some more. "Dude, stop poking me, its cold." Leo whined, causing Calypso to smack him on the head before saying, "Stop whining, what would you do if you saw someone who died?" "Umm... is poke them with a stick." Leo said sheepishly. "Exactly, now you had better start explaining before he uses that sword he is holding to see if you bleed." She said motioning to the sword Percy was now holding, pointed towards Leo.

Leo gulped and began to quickly explain about the physicians cure, the Archimedes sphere, his trip to Ogygia, and how he came back a year after Percy left. When he was done he was breathing heavily from loss of breath.

Percy was silent the entire time Leo was explaining. When he finished Percy frowned and said, "Leo, you and me are going to have a serious talk about being responsible and not dying later." He was completely serious as he said that, making Leo gulp. Leo nodded his head to fast everyone thought it would fall off.

"Now get over here, I haven't seen you since you died." Leo walked over and hugged Percy before going back to Calypso. Calypso walked up to Percy and hugged him saying, "Hey Percy, it's nice to see you again." Percy smiled and responded, "You too, and sorry for not making sure the gods kept their promise about freeing you." "It's ok, if you had I wouldn't have met Leo." She said and kissed said boy in the cheek, making him grin.

Percy rolled his eyes at Leo before turning to the last Person. The tension in the air was almost visible as Percy advanced towards Annabeth. She was looking at the ground in shame. She had hurt Percy with her selfishness, and she knew it.

Percy put a finger under her chin and forced her to look at him. She has tears in her eyes, and she looked broken. Even though Percy didn't have the same feelings for Annabeth anymore, it still hurt him to see her like this. They had been best friends since they were twelve, and it was going to take a lot more that one mistake to change that.

Percy surprised everyone by pulling Annabeth into a hug. She stiffened for a second before melting into the hug. She cried into his shoulder as he held her. He was whispering comforting words into her ear about how he forgave her. As he was about to pull back he whispered into her ear, "We need to talk later." She nodded and pulled back still sniffling from crying.
Percy wiped her tears away with his thumb before turning back to the crowd.

Everyone was happy that Percy forgave Annabeth. While they were disappointed about what she did to Percy, they still looked up to her. She hadn't been the same since Percy left. She didn't talk as much and distanced herself from everyone. She had stuffed her life with work and almost never left her mom's temple. They hoped that with Percy back she would return to normal.

Percy smiled at the group of gods and Demigods in front of him. "Well, is that everyone?" Percy asked. When he finished saying that, the shadows around him began to from a massive object. The object shot out at Percy and knocked him over. All Percy saw was a mass of black fur.

He laughed as his Hell Hound licked him. When he was finally able to get her off he was covered head to toe in dog slobber. He groaned and used his powers to clean himself off. He then patted his Hell Hound's head.

He concentrated for a second before summoning some water from the air and made a truck sized ice dog. The dog looked like Mrs. O'Leary, just completely made of ice. It barked, its bark sounded icy. Percy shoved it's being into his subconscious, making it seem like it has a mind of its own. It began to jump around and play with Mrs. O'Leary.

Everyone stared in amazement at Percy's display of power. Percy spoke up breaking everyone out of their thoughts, "Well, if you don't mind, I'm going to go to my cabin. I need to adjust in the pressure change." Everyone looked at Percy confused. "What do you mean pressure change?" Athena asked. "Well when I learned about the attack I was at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, so the pressure up here is a tad bit different." He responded casually.

Everyone had their jaws hanging open at his statement. They all knew about the Mariana Trench. Percy just smirked and said, "How about I tell you all about the past six years in the morning on Olympus, while we have a meeting to talk about this attack, because I don't think that was just some monsters that decided to attack camp at the same time. For now though, I'm going to my cabin." He walked off to his cabin leaving behind a still shocked crowd.

~•~•~•~•~•~•Line Break•~•~•~•~•~•~•
The next morning Percy ended his death trance at five in the morning. He was already adjusted to the pressure change and decided to go on a run. He began to sprint around the camp. As he was running he reached about sixty mph, and stayed at that for an hour.

Once he was done with his morning "jog" he went to the training arena. When he got there was only one camper there. He greeted the camper and went to the corner of the arena. He made a bench pressing set. He laid down and began to bench two thousand pounds.

He continued this for half an hour before he melted the weights and bench. He got up and left the arena and walked to half blood hill. Once on the hill he created his twin ice swords, Glacier and Blizzard, and got into a ready stance. He then summoned five hundred ice warriors and five hundred water warriors. He made them attack him, then put the part of his mind controlling them into his subconscious. They would attack him with all different styles ranging from Greek to Japanese. He charged them and began to attack them with his personal fighting style. It was a mix of the best parts of Greek, Roman, Medieval, Japanese, and a couple other fighting styles.

He continued to fight them for an hour and a half before he heard the conch horn signaling breakfast. He finished off all of the rest with ease and turned around to walk to the dining pavilion. When he turned around he saw a massive gathering of campers and gods staring at him in awe. He ignored their looks and walked towards the dining pavilion to eat.

When everyone finished eating they all began to get into camp vans to head to Olympus. Percy was just standing there waiting for them to leave when Thalia walked up to him. "Hey Percy, you going to come or not?" She asked jokingly. Percy raised an eyebrow before saying, "Hey Thalia. You do realize I can teleport right?"
Thalia just made an 'O' face. Percy smirked and turned to mist and shot towards Olympus.

Percy reformed in the middle of the throne room, startling the council. Percy smiled sheepishly and walked over to the hearth to talk to his favorite goddess. When he sat down an twenty year old woman walked out of the fire. She was extremely beautiful, she had Auburn colored hair, defined cheekbones, a slim body, and stood about 5"6.

She walked over to Percy and sat next to him. "Hello, who might you be?" The woman asked Percy. Percy was still trying to figure out who this woman was when it clicked in his head. "Lady Hestia?" She nodded. "It's me, Percy." He said with a wide smile directed at her. Her eyes widened before she crushed him in a hug. "I've missed you my hero, how have you been?" Hestia asked. "I've missed you too Hestia, I've been great, how about you?" Percy asked.

They continued talking for an hour. As they talked Hestia rested her head on Percy's shoulder making him blush, but he continued talking, not complaining about it. As they talked Hestia snuggled into Percy's side enjoying the slightly cold aura around him.

An hour after Percy got to Olympus the campers arrived. Everyone got seated and waited for Percy to come join them. He smiled at the now sleeping Hestia, and picked her up bridal style and made a couch out of ice, with snow cushions. He laid her down with her head on his lap and motioned them to begin the meeting.
