Yeah, so I was inspired for this after reading [the first few chapters of] Frozen Waters by Lexi13930. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be and mine is going in a different direction than what I had thought hers would. Her writing style isn't my cup tea, so I don't plan on finishing it. But what I did read I did enjoy, I encourage you to check it out!

The demigods all woke up in Camp Half-Blood. Even the ones who'd been in California previously.

The nine half-bloods groaned as they opened their eyes. They were all piled up in the Big House.

Leo rolled off the top of the pile. "Did- did that really just happen?" He wheezed.

Jason sucked in a deep breath of air. The son of Hephaestus was heavier than he looked. He shakily stood. "I think it may have."

Everybody else stood, having trouble keeping their balance.

"'Mute our powers'?" Annabel questioned. "That's what Zeus said, wasn't it? He- was he successful? He wasn't, was he?" She was worried, as was everyone else.

"Well, let's find out." Leo held out his hand and concentrated.

Nothing.

Not a single spark flickered to life. He frowned and tried again.

And again.

And again.

Leo had a vein popping out in his forehead he was trying so hard.

"Leo, stop." Hazel said. "It's not going to work."

"It- It will. It has to."

"Leo-"

Leo dropped his hand, defeated. Some of the others who had been trying gave up as well, obviously unhappy and frustrated.

"I knew Zeus was awful." Percy said, sitting on a couch heavily. "I never thought he'd do something like this."

"Yeah, well, you learn something new everyday." Frank grumbled.

"Maybe-" Hazel started to muse. "Maybe this isn't such a bad thing."

"No, no. Of course it's not." Leo said, patting Hazel's shoulder as if he agreed. "It's a terrible thing!"

"Come on, Leo. Hear me out. What if it is a good thing? What if now we don't have to worry about monsters tracing our scent? What if we can live normal lives?"

The demigods looked thoughtful about that. Maybe Hazel was right.

Annabeth looked over at Percy and frowned. "Percy, your- your eyes. They're turning blue."

Percy rushed over to a reflective shield that hung on the wall and looked. "H- How in Hades?"

The half-bloods glanced at each other.

"The eyes are the window to the soul." Reyna suggested. "Perhaps without your powers you're not as... bound to the ocean as you were before. The ocean's not in you anymore so you don't have Poseidon's eyes. Instead you have your mother's."

It sounded reasonable.

"Beauty Queen, yours are turning too." Leo said. "They're solid brown now."

They all looked around. Everyone's eyes were changing color.

"It's not the end of the world." Jason said, honestly trying to calm his nerves more than anyone else's. "So we have our mortal parent's eyes now. Nothing worse will come of this. I'm sure of it."

Boy was he wrong.
