Percy woke up with a start. He felt weird and queasy. He felt something familiar beneath him.
"Blackjack?" Percy muttered
"Hey boss, have you got any sugar cubes? I've been flying for ages." the horse complained.
"No I don't have any sugar cubes. Where are we going?"
"Mount Olympus. Oh, maybe the Gods have sugar cubes!"
"Annabeth, why are we going to Mount Olympus?"
Annabeth sighed, "To complete the prophecy, seaweed brain."
They landed on top of the empire state building and snuck in through a secret entrance. Percy and Annabeth both gasped as they walked into the throne room. The gods that were present were stationary and silent. Will was touching Zeus's forehead and chest which made no sense to Percy. Nico stared at Percy and Annabeth.
"What are you doing here?" He growled
"A simple hello would suffice, Nico. Or is hello not your type either?" Percy said.
Annabeth glared at him, "We came to help, the prophecy said they we would guide you."
"How do you know it's you the prophecy is talking about? It could have meant your parents. Not everything is about you two!"
Percy looked at Annabeth sheepishly. She ignored him.
"What is Will doing?" Annabeth asked calmly.
"I don't know. The more time I spend with him the more it seems that I don't know about him."
Zeus and Will collectively gasped. Nico ran to Wills side, he caught him just before Will collapsed.
"So many memories." Will whispered.
Nico scanned will sickly looking face, "Will I don't understand, what did you do?"
"I changed Zeus's memory of Apollo and I-"
Wills' eyes fully closed. Will began to burn up in Nico's' arms.
"I think I need water and wisdoms help." Nico said trying to keep his voice from breaking.
The pair went over and Annabeth tended to Will. She gave him some nectar then she fashioned a small blanket for Will and placed it on his forehead. The cloth that she used to construct the blanket was sensitive to heat and the hotter the thing was the cooler the blanket got. The colour returned to his face and he began to cool down. Zeus slowly got to his feet and he brushed himself off. Zeus looked around the room in a sluggish manner.
"Where is Apollo? Hera!" Zeus boomed.
Hera was pulled into the throne room by some guards. The gag was ripped away from her mouth and she spluttered.
"Zeus, Apollo is in Tartarus… where you put him." Hera said quietly.
"Hera now you are talking nonsense! Why would I put Apollo in Tartarus?"
The room fell into an awkward silence. Athena, Hephaestus, Aphrodite and Ares shifted in their chairs, none of them daring to look at Zeus.
"Well this isn't getting Apollo back is it?" Zeus sounded like an angry school teacher.
Zeus clapped his hands and summoned Apollo back from the depths of Tartarus. It happened so quickly that only Nico saw Apollo crawling out of Tartarus. Apollo had burns and cuts all over his body. They slowly began to heal once he was on Mount Olympus. The instant Apollo was standing in solid ground Will woke up and gasped for air. Nico felt the warmth in Will's hands return. Once Nico realised he was holding onto his hand he pulled away. Annabeth removed the blanket knowing that her work was done. Apollo looked at his son with grateful eyes. Apollo went over to the boys and he hugged Will. Will began to sob loudly. Tears wet the back of Apollos tattered shirt.
"Dad, I did it." He whispered through his crys.
"Will, you're brilliant." Apollo smiled brightly.
Will smiled back, "You haven't seen the best part."
Apollo and Nico exchanged a look of worry. Will rose and turned to the Olympians. He wiped his eyes then raised his hands and placed them out in front of him. He consented hard and erased the memory of that moment from the Gods. They would never know how Apollo got back or that the Demigods were ever there. They would never know that Will had not only changed the memory of Apollos and Artemis's mother for Zeus but he also changed it in all of the Olympians besides his dad. Not even history books were safe. Will rewrote a part of history and only his would dad know the truth.
After Will had finished he turned to the other Demigods. He smiled brightly at Nico and took his hand.
"I think the sun should be rising now." He paused and looked at Nico, "Jason told me about how much you like the sun, Nico."
