Sorry about the really long update… I mean really 3 years! I'm ever so sorry. I thought people had lost interest until I recently received a review, that means there are people still reading this, therefore I'll try and update as much as possible

Read my disclaimer, you can find it on chapter one

Chapter 3

The sun was slowly rising as Apollo rode across the slowly changing sky. Chiron stood by the railings of the big house head held high, eyes shut as he basked in the morning glow.

The camp slowly became louder as campers begun to awaken. He opened his eyes as he watched demigods of all ages walk towards the dining area for breakfast. It was a day like this he remembered Percy asking him a question.

"Chiron?!" a voice yelled out towards the centaur who was shuffling through a wade of papers which were all about different activities, money etc…

He looked up to see the young green eyed teen run towards him. The son of Poseidon had shining eyes and a blinding smile on. "Percy? What can I do for you on a fine day such as this?" he answered returning the smile which was directed towards him.

"I have a question, regarding a new camper. Ellis May? I have a suspicion that he's my cousin, from a certain uncle from downstairs" he stated while moving his hands into the direction of the ground.

Chiron's eyebrows rose as he took in the statement which Percy had told him. He two had thought that. He nodded as he put the papers in his hands to the sides.

"I had my suspicions, but we have yet to confirm them. Whether or not Hades will claim him, if he is indeed the father, I do not yet know." Percy nodded as he understood the worlds which the old centaur had uttered.

"I'll speak to him. We are after all, even if not physically speaking, related. He's my cousin, I'll help him out." Percy stated as if it was normal to take a person who you'd known for less than two days under your wing. However, for Percy this was completely normal. Always helping those who needed it, whether asked to or not.

That was before he was taken to new Rome however, before most of his memories were wiped.

Campers looked at Chiron strangely as he slammed several objects on the table slightly too heavy, causing the objects to crack. Chiron began to feel himself cracking. The way he had died was horrible. What Chiron would give so that he was able to rid Percy of the pain which he experienced in the last moments of his life. What he wouldn't give to have the son of Poseidon here today.

How he missed the way a room would become much brighter and so full of life when he entered. Chiron felt his eyes begin to water as he thought about it.

He sighed, turned around and entered the big house next to him and gently shut the door with a heavy heart.

After Dinner

After dinner the campers began to gather around the camp fire ready for Chiron to finish speaking. He took a deep breath and began "Percy was the chosen by Gaia….

"What do you mean?" Percy demanded into the iris message in front of him as he spoke to Rachel. "How am I the key to the defeat and down fall of Olympus?"

Rachel sighed, looking panicked and calm at the same time. How that was possible, Percy didn't know.

"According from some news, taken from a spy within Gaia's forces, she plans on using you as a sacrifice to keep the doors of death opened forever. The living and dead will merge and the human race and the western world as we know it will cease to exist." She stated before carrying on. "In order for this to happen however a person must be sacrificed unwillingly, that person is you Percy." Rachel stared at Percy, eyes full of pity.

"So basically, I have to stay alive and not fall into enemy hands?" he asked Rachel slightly confused.

"There is another way Percy." She was hesitant, he could tell by the way she stuttered slightly, bit her lip and fiddle with the sleeves on her jumper.

"The ritual requires and unwilling subject. However, it will not work if you are willing" Rachel empathised.

Percy stared at her in shock.

"So you're telling me to commit suicide?" Percy stated stunned by the facts.

Rachel furiously shook her head in a negative way.

"No! Never! What I meant was if they tried to sacrifice you, it wouldn't work if you done it willingly, instead it would back fire and do the complete opposite. I don't mean you're willing to just stand there and die, what I mean is that they'll probably try and kill Annabeth. A simple solution is save Annabeth from death, and death has a willing victim."

Percy stared at her and the turned his back as he swiped through the iris message disconnecting his face from Rachel. He never knew that would be the last time he'd speak to her again while on the living planet. He never knew that Rachel Elizabeth Dare would slowly go mad at the thought that she led Percy, her one true friend to his death.

Two Days Later…

Percy and the rest of the boat landed in Rome after a surprisingly quite journey over the two days. Very little had attacked, not including Zeus trying to strike Percy down. Percy may be trying to save Olympus but he was still in the sky!

Percy stared out taking in Rome. The place was deserted.

He kept thinking back to the words from Rachel.

Of course he'd save Annabeth! But he was scared of dying. Would Hades grant him salvation or put him in the fields of punishment? Would his mum and dad be proud of him?

The answer was clear Percy for millions. Percy or the end of the world for good.

Thanks for reading

Again so very sorry for not updating in so long

Thanks to Annabeth616 (sorry if it's wrong) for prompting me into continuing this story.

I'm going to take this slow so I'm not sure about the frequency of the updates.
