PERCY POV

We were summoned to Olympus today. The gods wanted to reward us for saving the world. The Six, Nico, and Reyna were all here. I don't know how we got here. I can't remember anything that happened since...you know. It's all been a blur of hysterical crying and hugs. Thanks gods for Piper and Hazel, without them, I wouldn't have made it out of my cabin.

The elevator ride was silent. I could feel everyone's tension. The music was still terrible after all these years. Finally, the elevator came to a stop. The doors opened, revealing half finished temples and statues. It all screamed Annabeth. I could feel wetness gather at the corners of my eyes. I blinked them away, today is a happy day. They deserve this.

We stopped in front of two massive double doors. I could see uncertainty in their eyes.

"Relax guys. It's going to be fine." I tried cheering them up. Everyone was shocked to hear me speak after what felt like forever. I took a deep breathe and pushed the doors open. Sitting on their thrones, were the gods. They all had white chitons on so I'm guessing they're Greek right now.

"Welcome Heroes of Olympus. We thank you all for your contribution towards defeating Gaia." said Zeus. I looked around the room. I was met with sympathetic stares from everyone. When my eyes met Athena's, I gasped. Her eyes were rimmed red from crying. I have never seen her cry, let alone show emotion. Her eyes quickly turned into a glare. It was so fierce, I actually hid behind Jason.

"As thanks, we decided to give you all a gift. Wish it and it will be yours, so long as it is in our power " Zeus continued.

"Piper McLean." Aphrodite said proudly. She bowed to Zeus and knelt at her mother's feet.

"I'm not a fan of formalities, please stand." Piper stood uneasily.

"What would you like? A make over. New clothes. A car..." Aphrodite kept rambling about things when Piper put a hand up, stopping her.

"Actually, I want something for my dad." Piper said in a small voice. Aphrodite raised a perfect eyebrow at her, urging her to go on. "I want him to be happy. To fall in love with someone who loves him for him, not famous actor Tristan McLean."

"I can't force him to love someone. It comes naturally." Aphrodite stated.

"He misses you, a lot. There's this sadness in his eyes whenever he talks about you." I could see Aphrodite get hit with a wave of nostalgia. "I just want him to feel loved and appreciated." Piper finished with a sad smile.

"I'll do what I can." Aphrodite wiped a tear from her eye. Piper stood up and bowed to all the gods. She returned to Jason's side. He wrapped a comforting arm around her waist.

"Leo Valdez." said Hephaestus. He went to kneel at his father's feet. "Something in particular you want?"

"You see, there's this girl..." Leo smiled sheepishly at his father.

"I do believe this is Aphrodite's forte." Hephaestus turning to look at his wife.

"Her name is Calypso. As in the Titan." I could see the gods tense at her name. "When I was blasted off the Argo II, I landed on Ogygia. At first she hated me and I hated her. But then we got to know each other. Needless to say, she fell for my charms." I saw Leo smirk while Piper and Jason rolled their eyes.

"When the raft arrived, she kissed me goodbye. I swore on the River Styx to come back for her." Leo finished.

"What do you want?" Hephaestus said getting impatient.

"I want you to take me to Ogygia. So that I can free her from the prison you all exiled her to." Leo said boldly. The gods started to talk among themselves. A lot of nodding and hand gestures were exchanged.

"I also happen to know you all promised to pardon Calypso and other peaceful Titans after the last war." The gods turned towards Leo, giving him a look that said "excuse me." Not a wise move Leo, seeing as how you could be vaporized at any second.

Aphrodite was the first to break the tension. "Well, I am all for it. It's love. You can't deny a boy that, can you?" She shot everyone a glare, daring anyone to say otherwise.

"It's been three thousand years. I suppose it's time to let bygones by bygones. All in favor?" asked Hephaestus. Surprisingly, no one opposed.

"Then it's settled, I will take you to Ogygia." Leo was so happy, he hugged his dad's leg.

"Um...my bad." Leo backed away awkwardly, but not before bowing to the gods.

"Nico di Angelo." said Hades. I swear I saw Hades smile. Following routine, Nico kneeled at his father's feet.

"You've made me proud, son. It would be my honor to grant you a gift." Hades said proudly.

"Can I spend less time in the Underworld? I would like to enjoy my time at both camps with my sister and friends." said Nico hopefully.

"Is that all?" Hades said a little hesitant.

"Can you make Persephone stop using me as her personal servant? I know she's my step mom and all, but it's not my fault she's down there." Nico said trying to avoid Demeter's glare.

"I'll speak to her. Rise my son." Nico got up and stood at his father's side.

"I would like to thank Nico and Reyna for returning my Parthenos. It was not easy transporting it from Rome to New York." said Athena. I'm glad those are the first words I hear from her, as opposed to curses directed towards me. Reyna and Nico bow respectfully at her.

"Percy Jackson." My father bellows. I bowed to Zeus and knelt at Athena's feet, surprising everyone in the Throne Room.
