Chapter 5

Leo

I couldn't remember anything from before Percy and Jason took him to the hospital. When I went to sleep, I dreamt… of Gaea. She was wearing her usual get up ; the dirt lady. "Leo, you see my power? I have broken you without any evidence of who did it."

"Big deal, you put me out for like two days" I replied

"You don't understand. This is just the beginning; I am not even at my full strength yet, and you believe you can escape my might. Soon I will break this quest up, you will all turn on each other, the two camps can not survive with each other for very long. You will kill each other. Join me Leo, avoid being a part of that catastrophe. Help me keep the doors of death open, you will never die we will be unstoppable."

"Thanks for the offer, but… no thanks. I think we are fine, and we will do fine. But I feel sorry for you." I said

"Sorry for me? Why?" she asked

"Because" I answered "You're so cocky, but you don't know the truth, the gods are meant to survive. They defeated you before with the help of the demigods and they will win again, but with new demigods, stronger demigods, but you don't seem to understand, good always prevails, history repeats itself. So the thing is… you just cant win. Maybe, if you just give up now, you wont have to face the embarrassment."

(ground rattles) "FOOL" she yelled "You don't understand young one. The gods cannot face the fact that they need the help of mortals, they are too arrogant, they won't understand till the last minute, they believe they can put me back to sleep, if they are quiet, if they disappear, but now I am nearly awake."

She then showed me a picture of destruction of the earth, building falling, bridges being destroyed, civilizations being wiped out, natural disasters, and the gods are nowhere to be seen. She then showed me a picture of the Hall of the Gods, it was empty, the thrones were being destroyed, slowly decaying, one by one falling, and then I woke up.

"Leo!" screamed Piper "How are you feeling?"

"Better", I replied

Annabeth then walked in with Percy Jackson "Good Leo your up" she said

"Can you walk?" asked Percy

"I don't know" I said while trying to get up, black dots danced in my eyes, and I fell back

"Relax Leo, don't jump ahead, Marcus said two days" Jason said

"Marcus?" I asked, everyone looking puzzled

"He was the Apollo boy who healed you." They all nodded

"How many days has it been?" I wondered

"One day, six hours, and 26 minutes" said Annabeth

"Thanks for keeping simple, Wise Girl" Percy said lovingly

"Back off, Seaweed Brain" she replied the same way

"According to Reyna" said Piper "The senate meeting is in two days, so you have one day of extra rest"

"Alright then everyone, I guess we should leave Leo to rest" said Piper, and they all left. I was alone.
