OK this is the end chapter, everything is answered here!
The gods were sat on their thrones just like they were at the trials. The four demigods stood in the middle of the room.
Two gods were missing, Poseidon and Apollo
"I have heard an interesting story from Miss Chase, but she could only tell us half the story, I want to hear the full story" Zeus spoke to them
Jason spoke, he told them about meeting Hecate and her plans and the prophecy
"Say that again young demigod" Zeus said as Jason told him about the words Hecate said
"Well she said seven demigods have answered her call and something about…"
His mouth was dry, this was going to get him killed
"…Something about how the world will end in fire or storm, I can't remember her exact worlds"
Zeus nodded
"Well, a few hours ago we were set on killing you three, now I believe you shall be receiving laurel wreaths"
All three looked at each other nervously, laurel wreaths sounded painful, but they turned out to be…
"Are these headbands?" Leo asked feeling his, it made his pointy ears stick out making him look more like Hermes than ever
Zeus addressed the gods
"This meeting is over, I need to speck with Hades" Zeus said and the room started to empty
"You also may go, but some of the gods are celebrating if you wish to stay you may" Zeus said to the demigods,
"Hermes, I need a word with you too" Zeus called
The demigods nodded and walked out, they looked around for Annabeth but she wasn't anywhere.
"Where shall we go?" Jason asked, they could hear pop music, but other people could hear something else.
"I need to speck to my father" Leo told him, he looked through the masses of gods and goddess but Hermes was still with Zeus.
"Shall we go find Annabeth?" Piper asked
"She's upset at the moment, best not to bother her" said a voice next to them
They turned and saw a younger satyr than Gleeson Hedge; he had brown curly hair with two small horns
"I'm Grover, her best friend" he told them, he looked over at a building with a trident on the roof with a sad expressing on his face.
Leo, Piper and Jason stayed with him for a while, Grover told them about his plans to recover the wild.
Hermes came out of the throne room and Leo jumped to his feet
"Guy, I'll be back soon" he hurried into the crowd and was behind Hermes, he was helping himself to some Nectar
"Erm…Father" Leo called to him, Hermes turned
Leo couldn't get over how godly his father was, his blue eyes were sparkling making Leo's skin tingle
"I had a dream this morning, I was down in The Underworld and your son Luke was talking to me, he asked me to let you know he's not angry with you anymore and that he did love you, he seems happy now he steals everything down there"
Hermes moved closer to Leo, who felt a little uneasy
"I'm happy you told me that Leo" Hermes said with a smile, he put his drink down and put his arms around Leo who felt awkward, what were you suppose to do when a god hugs you? leo had his ear to Hermes' chest, to his surprise Hermes had a heart beat
Hermes left him go with a small grin as though he knew what Leo had just thought
"You'll be a great Hero, Leo" Hermes ruffled his hair "I would stay longer but they's something I need to do"
Hermes smiled once more to Leo, picked up his drink and walked away
As Leo returned to his friends he walked past the centaur Chiron, who was going the other way
Chiron walked away from the gods and into the building with the trident, it was the temple of Poseidon, sitting on a seat crying was Annabeth
"Poseidon said I can wait in here for any news, they haven't told me anything but the gods have been in and out" Annabeth said wiping her eyes
"I'll go see them" Chiron rubbed Annabeth's shoulder and walked through a door into a passageway, he came back ten minutes later, looking a little pale
"Annabeth" he said softly and she started to cry more "Annabeth listen to me, Percy lost loads of blood, he was very weak, they had no other choice…"
Annabeth was crying hard, it was clear she was distraught
"Poseidon didn't want his only mortal son to die…they've…Annabeth they had no other choice, would you like to see him? Apollo and Poseidon have both said it's ok if you want to see him"
Annabeth nodded, tears were streaming down her face, she followed Chiron down the passage
Chiron knocked on the door and opened it, he stood back to allow Annabeth to walk in
Poseidon was sat next to the wall and Apollo was bent over the bed
Percy lay in the bed, his face peaceful and turned to the side as though he was just sleeping; Apollo looked up and smiled warmly at Annabeth
Annabeth sniffed and move over to the bed, her boyfriends' final resting place…she started crying again.
Great heaving sobs which echoed around the room
She looked at his pale skin, his closed eye lids, his black hair, his hand that lay on his blankets
She looked hungrily at his face, afraid she will forget him
she looked into his sea green eyes…sea green eyes!
"Percy" she cried in a high pitch voice.
She ran up to the bed and hugged him
"You're alive! I though I was going to lose you" she pulled back at once with a cry of shock
Her skin was tingling and Percy had a stronger sea smell than normal
Percy looked at her, he smiled weakly but his eyes had a sad look
"You're…oh Percy…You're a god!"
Apollo got up and gave her a hug, she let him too
"We had no choice Annabeth, it was turn him into a god or let him die" Apollo's voce was very soothing, Annabeth felt calmer at once.
Apollo let Annabeth go and walked back to Percy
"Does it feel better now?" Apollo asked him
"It's still burning" Percy muttered, rubbing his cheek
"Yeah it'll stop, it's just your blood turning, well, godly" Apollo winked at him
"We'll give them some time alone" Poseidon said, he looked at his son "You'll be ok for ten minutes?"
Percy nodded, his eyes closed again. He heard the door close
"Annabeth" he began but it was so painful to say it
He felt Annabeth take hold of his hand
"I've got to tell you something" his voice shook
"What is it Percy?" she asked quietly, fighting to hold back her tears
Percy opened his eyes and Annabeth was shocked to see his own tears run down his face
"I'm a god now…I can't be with you anymore, my father told me we have to end it, mortal and immortal relationships don't work, I won't die but you will, do you understand?"
She may be the daughter of Athena but this was so hard
"Yes…but I will never stop loving you Percy" Annabeth tried not to make this harder for them both
"We'll remain friends though, yeah" She said adding a fake brightness to her voice
"Sure" Percy said, he was breathing hard, he sniffed
Annabeth sat down on the edge of his bed
"What happens to you now?" she asked "Will you come back to Camp?"
Percy shook his head
"My father is taking me to live with him, we were talking about it when I woke up" Percy muttered
"What did it feel like, to turn into a god?" Annabeth asked, her curiosity getting the better of her
"I don't know I was asleep, but my skin feels really hot and have a look at this" Percy sat up
"Percy lay down, you shouldn't be sitting up" Annabeth said but Percy ignored her
He moved the blankets down and showed Annabeth his ankle were Hecate had the tube, they was a bandage around his ankle but he moved it back and showed Annabeth,
His blood was golden, Ichor blood of the gods.
"It's golden" Percy said in amusement
Percy lay back down
"Annabeth listen, don't worry, everything is going to be ok" Percy meet her gray eyes, he would miss them
"I'm sure you'll be ok, I heard the gods talking, they thought I was asleep but I only had my eyes closed, something my father was saying to Apollo…well you'll see, but you wont be left alone"
"What do you mean Percy?" Annabeth said
Before Percy could say they was a knock at the door and his father and Apollo came back in
"Sorry Annabeth, put Percy should get more sleep" Apollo said
Annabeth nodded, both she and Percy looked at each other, both knew this was the last time they would ever see each other
'I love you Annabeth' Percy's voice called out in Annabeth's mind, she nodded
"Ok…goodbye Percy" Annabeth took one more look at Percy and walked out.
Chiron was waiting for her
"You ok my dear?"
She nodded
"I just want Grover, where is Grover?" Annabeth lip was trembling
"He is over there with the three demigods" Chiron told her "Oh Annabeth dear...Annabeth"
Chiron called after her but she was already running to Grover
"Grover, Grover" She called and ran to him "Have you heard about Percy?"
"No why he hasn't died?" Grover paniced
"He's a god" Annabeth said as she lead Grover away from Jason, Leo and Piper
"A god, oh dear, are you ok Annabeth?" He asked, she didn't answer, she just walked on
they started to walk through the gods
"He said something to me, I'll be ok and I won't be alone, what did that mean?"Annabeth asked
they walked past the tables serving mortal and immortal food
"I don't know, look Annabeth lets turn back, we should go the other way" Grover ran in front of her making her stop
"No I want to go this way" Annabeth said, she wanted to keep moving ahead as it was quieter up here, only a few people were over here
"I though he was dead, he looked so still" Tears ran down her face again "I'm never going to go on a quest with him no more, I'll never see him again, never call him seaweed brain"
Annabeth moved on, Grover held her back
"No Annabeth, you're not ready, turn back please" Grover panicked
"I'm not ready for what? I've lost him Grover, the gods stopped him from dying but he's still gone…he..he..No"
Annabeth's mouth opened in horror, she was looking over at the people.
"Annabeth, you've had enough shocks for one day" Grover held her shoulders and tried to pull her back
Annabeth's eyes filled with tears again as she continued to watch the people
"It can't be"
Hermes was standing there with a guy with sandy blonde hair, his blue eyes and his scar. As Annabeth watched he was talking to Hermes than he moved near. Hermes held him and took a good look at him. Hermes looked happier than Annabeth could believe possible
The snakes on the Caduceus opened their eyes and moved again, they came out of Hermes pocket to sniff hopefully into the night air
He and Hermes broke apart and Annabeth ran towards, she shouted the name she never thought she would say again
"Luke"
He looked up and grinned at her, it was a true grin, not the sneer he'd given her before
"Annabeth"
He gave her a hug, he never though he would have the chance to do this again, he then told her what he had wanted to tell her for so long
"I am so sorry Annabeth for everything I done, I didn't mean any of it, I promise you...I'll make it up to you we'l.." he muttered to her
"This is what he meant, I won't be alone" Annabeth interupted Luke
"What, who said that?" Luke asked,
Annabeth took a step back and looked at him, it was really him, really Luke
"But you died Luke, what are you doing here?" she asked him, her lip wobbling
It was Hermes who answered her
"Luke is the seventh demigod to answer the call for the new prophecy, Zeus talked to me and Hades to make sure it was the right thing to do and then he ordered Hades to realise Luke from The Underworld and he's back now, even if the prophecy is completed Luke can stay"
Annabeth's eyes filled up with water again but this time it was from happyness
"I hope me being back isn't bad enough to make you cry" Luke smiled at her
"I'm happy you're back…I missed you Luke" Annabeth confessed,
2 weeks later
Jason and Leo knocked on the Aphrodite cabin, a boy with his hair in curlers answered
"Is Piper up yet?" Leo asked
"Piper, your friends are here…yet again" he called; she came to the door and followed them to the climbing wall.
"Now this time Leo, don't try and pick pocket us and you may get up before the lava comes down" Jason laughed and he climbed first.
"I would get up if you don't send wind to knock me down and are you sure you want to do this, you may break a nail?" Leo turned to Piper
She laughed and followed Jason up, Leo followed, this time all three got up without being burnt
The three looked out at Camp Half Blood, it was early morning on a Sunday
"It's still strange not sleeping in the same room as you two" Jason said.
The next morning on from when they returned to camp all three of them had been claimed by their godly parents and they had noticed small differences since than
Leo had been stealing everything in site and had suddenly got a passion for travailing, even though he said he was saying put at Camp, as he had nowhere to go to
Jason had been feeling strange when ever a high wind had blow as he got the urge to control it
Piper had got very protected of her nails, she would curse in Ancient Greek if one broke, which made Leo and Jason laugh
They had spoken of the prophecy and talked for a long time of what it meant, Chiron had shown them the full words and they tried to work out what it had meant, but they didn't know.
They got a letter that morning, from Dionysus who wanted to know if they would be going or staying as a year rounders
"I'm staying, that's not a question for me, when I came to that school it was a life line" Leo said
"Same here, I have no family, my mother is dead" Jason said, it was troubling him that he didn't know her, he had laid in bed thinking of her, his father had killed her and taken him away when he had been only a child, but when he died and went to The Underworld he would find her
"I think I may go home half way through the year, I'm not too sure yet" Piper said,
Leo turned to Jason
"You know, even though them memories were fake, you're still my best friend"
"You asked me once to tell you why you ran away six times, why was that for?" Jason asked Leo
"My mother is very superstitious, when I was four I broke her mirror and that night a monster attacked me, it nearly killed me but someone helped me, it was my father. He made it go away but more and more monsters came and my mother took me to this man, he was a sort of anti-curse man and I was terrified of him, every time a monster came my mother would take me to him, so when I was nine I started to run away after a monster attacked, each year a bigger monster came so I ran away six times until she got a letter about that school and she sent me there out of the way, she has resented me since I was only a child"
Jason looked at Leo and felt closer to him, both boys had a hard childhood
The three demigods jumped down and walked off for an early breakfast, this time sitting at the right tables
Over by the beach Annabeth was stood looking out to sea, it had been two weeks since she'd last seen Percy, it felt much longer to her
"Do you think he's out there somewhere?" She called behind her; Luke was laying on one of the sand dunes
"Yeah, he's out in the ocean somewhere, probably at his father palace" Luke got up and stood next to her
"I'm sure he's thinking of you" He told her with a smile to cheer her up
She nodded
"Castellan!" A voice shouted and Luke groaned
He turned to see a black haired girl with Punk clothing come marching up to him, she grabbed his left arm and pulled it up his back, Luke gasped him pain
"Watch my side" He moaned
"Self inflicted! You stabbed yourself, I show no pity to self infliction" Thalia let him go and kicked his legs from under him. Luke fell on the sand and Thalia held him down with a hunting knife held to his throat
Luke laughed at her
"You're a hunter, you can't do this, you're touching a male, you are violating your oath" he reminded her, she put her knife away and he got back up
"My oath is to not fall in love and to be a maiden for ever" Thalia answered him, but there was something in her eyes that told Luke she didn't mean him any harm "Also I have made a new oath, whenever we meet I have the right to hurt your arm to make up for what you did"
"How come Annabeth forgives me and you don't" Luke grinned at her in a sly way, his eyebrows raised
Thalia didn't answer. She looked out to the waves
"You miss him a lot don't you Annabeth?" she asked as though Luke hadn't spoken
Annabeth nodded "I wish I could have a sign that he's near, or thinking about me"
A wave came crashing over them, the three gasped with shock and stood there dripping with sea water
"Seaweed brain, was that you!" Annabeth shouted to the sea "If it was, it was terrible; you could have done so much better"
She laughed
"I'm not too happy to see that boy is here, the one who stabbed me" Thalia gave a look like she was going to cast lightening from her eyes
"Yeah I heard about that, it was a good thing you were carrying Ambrosia with you, or you would not be here today" Annabeth told her
Luke looked at Thalia
"Do you want to quit the hunters and come with me and Annabeth, were off travailing, were going to go to Greece and steal things from Hermes' temple of worship if he has one and Annabeth wants to build, it'll be great if you came too, it'll be like old times"
Thalia flashed him a look
"No thank you, I'm staying with Artemis, but if I'm ever in Greece I'll keep an eye out for you...and your arm"
"Well it's not certain yet but it's a good idea, Luke doesn't want to stay here, he wants to traval and I want to build so we may go together but Luke you will NOT steal from your father's temple!"
The bell sounded for breakfast
"Are you coming?" Luke asked her
"Yes, just give me a second" Annabeth looked back out to the sea, somewhere in that big ocean was Perseus Jackson, the best hero who she had ever known, she turned away and walked with Luke and Thalia into the dining pavilion.
Percy watched her go from the top of a cliff, he was happy she was with Thalia and Luke, they would look after her now.
It sort of hurt to be so close yet so far away from her. But it was true what his father had told him.
Annabeth was mortal; one day old age would take her to Hades, while Percy would carry on for ever. They could not be together; it would be too painful for both of them.
He hopped Annabeth was thinking of him, it was painful to think that as Annabeth had walked away Percy's eyes were on her and she would never know how close he was.
Percy made sure they were gone before he stood up and walked to the cliff edge, he wanted his breakfast too, soon the Nereids would have his breakfast laid out for him and he wanted to get back for that
He resumed his true godly form and vanished, leaving a faint sea breeze behind him
