AN THERE IS A TIMESKIP BETWEEN THE LAST CHAPTER AND THIS ONE. WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE BATTLE OF THE LABYRINTH SO I SKIPPED THAT AND I'M STARTING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LAST OLYMPIAN. OKAY? GOOD. ALSO THIS CHAPTER I'M PUTTING WHAT ARTEMIS AND THALIA SPOKE ABOUT WHICH WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING! Okay but seriously what Thalia and Artemis say changes Percy's fate majorly. Do you want to find out? Well then read on! Also one more thing. This plot is entirely different because Nico is the prophecy child and knows everything.

Here are Percy's powers:

-can turn into a wolf, shark, barracuda, hawk/falcon, and a dove

-can use/summon water to make things like shields and just as a weapon

-heightened senses due to being in the hunt and a daughter of Artemis

-good with a bow

-can feel people's emotions for others but she hardly ever uses it

Third Person POV (We find out what Artemis said to Thalia)

"Thalia you have been the leader of the Hunt for quite some time correct?" Artemis asked Thalia who nodded her head, confused as to what was going on.

"Well you are friends with Percy and as the leader you deserve to know what I've been hiding from her. You see, Percy is not actually a member of the hunt." Artemis told Thalia.

"What?!" Thalia shouted. She was expecting to give a report, not hear about all of this.

"Thalia I tried to make my daughter an official hunter when she was twelve but I realized that she couldn't be restrained to such a commitment with Poseidon's blood in her veins. The only thing that can restrain the sea is the agreement of another body of water, like the Styx. I played it off like I was waiting till she was older but no matter how hard I try I can't let her join the hunt." Artemis was nearly in tears by the time she finished.

"Then how come she is partially immortal?" Thalia's mind was kicked into overdrive as she thought of a solution, of any scenario, of any way that Artemis was just joking. Said goddess had turned away from the question and instead looked at the ground.

"I gave her part of my essence. Not like how you would bless someone but an actual part of me." Artemis admitted, still not facing her loyal lieutenant.

"But we are about to be in a war with the Titan of Time! How will you fight without your entire essence?" Thalia fired back, still shocked.

"I've fought without it for years I'll be fine," Artemis waved it off and continued. "I'm really worried about Percy. I could never gather the courage to tell her."

"How will she react when she finds out?" Thalia asked having all of her energy taken out of her.

"She can't find out. Ever."

Percy's POV (After the Battle of the Labyrinth)

"NICO EASE UP ON THE GAS!" I shrieked as Nico nearly broke my car. Thank the gods it has self-repair. See, I'm trying to teach him how to drive but it isn't going so well. We screeched to a halt leaving tire marks on the small road in front of camp. Thalia, Bianca, and I were staying until Nico's birthday in two weeks. Then war would be upon us and we have to go back to organize the hunters.

"-ercy? Percy?" Nico asked, breaking my thoughts as he waved a hand in front of my face.

"Sorry I was busy trying to slow my heart beat so I don't die." I joked. Nico is the prophecy child but I'm going to guard him from the grim truth at whatever cost.

"Haha. Now I think there is a cabin leaders meeting. Let's get going." Nico replied sarcastically but we left the road anyway. I was the head of the Poseidon Cabin, Thalia was the head of Zeus' Cabin, and Bianca is the head of the Artemis Cabin so we all get to go to the meetings with Nico. As we reached the ping pong table I sat next to Thalia who leaned away. She's been distant ever sonce she delivered the report to my mom and it freaked me out. Of course she still talked to me and all that but it seems like she is always in a whole other world. Before I could talk to her about it Chiron spoke.

"Hello young heroes. We have some very important matters to discuss. First thing, Percy you have been summoned to your Father's Palace." Chiron started and I jerked to attention. What does my dad want? Oh my, that sounded really bratty. I just meant that he never really contacts me because he is a God and there are laws about that kind of stuff. Nodding to Chiron and standing up, I walked down to the beach to visit my father's realm. I stood at the shore for a few seconds before rushing inside and changing into a barracuda. Perks of being a demigod, crazy abilities like this. The ocean blurred by me and even though I've never been to my father's palace before I could feel the waters pulling me in the right direction. Or it could just be a riptide, you never know. After a few minutes of super speed travel I reached a giant castle.

"We prefer all visitors to be in their true form ma'am." One of the two guards in front of the gates told me, amused.

"Oh right duh! Sorry." I amended and quickly transformed back. I really don't want Daddy's super warriors out for my blood. When the guard saw my face he went down into a deep bow along with the other one.

"I apologize for my rude tone Princess. Please forgive me for my treason." The guard was still in a deep bow as he apologized for . . . doing his job? In response I murmured something smart- probably 'no problem with you do job. Job good.'- and walked into the gates. Inside I saw a giant white domed room with three thrones. In a small, in the God's size anyway, rugged throne sat a merman with pale green skin. A crown was perched upon his head and his eyes dismissed me as soon as he saw me. Meanie. The next throne was smooth and feminine with soft swirls throughout it. Upon this throne was a beautiful woman with sharp features. She glanced at me, anger and hurt flashing in her eyes, before turning to the merman. What did I ever do to them? 'Be born' a small voice in my head replied but I ignored it for now. A final throne stood to the side of the two and I could tell it was my father's. Unlike the merman's throne, my father's was huge and a strong cerulean blue. It had waves rippling across it and a fishing rod holder that now held a trident. Obviously my father was sitting on the throne and he seemed to be the only one happy about my presence.

"Percy! This is my son Triton," Poseidon smiled as he gestured to the merman. "And this is my wife Amphitrite." Amphitrite turned her nose up at me and went back to talking to Triton. My dad's smile dimmed a bit but he brightened up when a servant came in the room to whisper something in his ear.

"As you have probably heard from the camp by now, you are not my only child," Poseidon started and I vaguely remember Annabeth mentioning something about a Cyclops at the camp. Seeing my face, Poseidon continued. "Well my son has had time off from the forges to come and see you now." At this remark a small Cyclops entered the room and sweeps me up in a bone crushing hug.

"Big sister! I'm Tyson." The Cyclops said as I started to see stars.

"Now, now son don't hurt Percy." Poseidon reprimanded.

"Sorry Dad." Tyson exclaimed and dropped me on the ground. Tyson and I then talked about things- mostly peanut butter since he seemed to have an obsession with it- with him also speaking of his ob in the forges. He had a tough boss who expected him back at any moment so I reluctantly let him leave. Boo, I liked my newest sibling since the other one acts like I'm some gum he found on the bottom of his shoe. The other one is Triton in case you couldn't tell. Once Tyson was sent away, Dad looked at me gravely. Not good.

"Daughter as you probably know by now, there is a war brewing up on Earth. I am also in the midst of a war against Oceanus. Thanks to Hades' son and Hephaestus' son, I don't have to worry about Princess Andromeda anymore so that-"Poseidon was cut off abruptly by yours truly, me.

"Wait what?! Nico and what son of Hephaestus?" I demanded, not focusing on Oceanus right now. Triton and Amphitrite gasped at my outburst but I couldn't care less. Poseidon shot me a confused look but still explained.

"I believe his name was Beckendorf. He and Nico went on a mission to blow up Luke's ship. They succeeded but Beckendorf lost his life in the process." Poseidon elaborated grimly. My brain was still trying to process when all of this could have happened, for I couldn't have been underwater for more than fifteen minutes. Seeing my expression, Poseidon continued. "Percy . . . you've been underwater for at least three hours. As soon as you left Chiron told the two to go on the mission."

"I- I should get back." I stumbled over my words as I ran to the gates I entered from. I could hear Poseidon calling my name but I didn't care, I just swam as fast as I could to Camp. Once I reached the surface I ran to the war room. All the councilors were still there, or maybe they moved when I was gone who knows, and they turned when I entered. My hands were still shaking when I sat down in my seat. Thalia and Annabeth looked at me with worried eyes but I waved them off. Nico seemed to be staring at a wall and was the only one who didn't stare when I entered. He must be guilty about the death of Beckendorf. In the Aphrodite chair Sline was smiling at Nico, it seems she doesn't know about her boyfriend.

"Hello campers," Chiron announced sadly as he looked towards Nico. "Could you please tell us the result of the quest?" Nico swallowed at that and shifted in his chair, eyes somber.

"We planted the bombs s needed, Beckendorf almost got caught but he managed to make it look like he was just on his way to the engine room instead of finished. I held off the monsters until Luke, I mean Kronos, decided to fight me. By then Beckendorf finished confusing the monsters and we were ready to flee," Here Nico started to shake slightly. "The monsters surrounded us. We tried to leave but Beckendorf stayed behind to finish the mission. He was across the ship and detonated the explosives before I could stop him. I barely had time to shadow travel out of the place." When Nico finished Silena put a hand over her mouth and began to cry. The rest of the council was also distraught as Chiron went to tell the camp. I already knew of course but still leaked a tear. Beckendorf was one of the only guys here who would talk to me and we discussed weapons sometimes. Wiping away my stray tears, I walked over to Silena who I didn't know that well. At my arrival she looked up.

"What? Are you here to say that love is a mistake?" Silena asked me bitterly. Ouch. There has always been a bridge between the Aphrodite children and the hunters for obvious reasons but I never saw why. Everyone has their own opinion right?

"Don't be like that. I think love is beautiful. I'm not like my sisters who think love is waste of time. I just don't believe I will find." I scolded gently and she smiled a watery smile at me. When I did talk to Beckendorf he would always say things about her, especially how kind she was. No matter how much pain she was in she could always smile for others. It was one of the many things he loved about her. I went back to my seat when Chiron arrived but he seemed to ignore everyone but Nico.

"Being the child of the prophecy, Nico could you please tell the prophecy and any other information you may know?" Chiron asked Nico politely. His eyes were troubled as we waited for Nico to speak.

"The prophecy is; a half-blood of the eldest gods, shall reach sixteen against all odds, and see the world in endless sleep, the hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap, a single choice shall end his days, Olympus to preserve or raze. Also when I was battling Luke he said that he knew of our attack because of a spy in camp." Nico admitted. I gasped when I heard the prophecy. It sounds like Nico is going to die no matter what. The spy didn't concern me right now but losing my cousin, oh that sure did. Abruptly standing up, I accidently knocked my chair back.

"How long have you known you were going to die?" I demanded to know the answer but Nico wouldn't look at me. Ugh typical. I tried to look to Thalia and Annabeth for help but they looked away as well. "Thalia? Annabeth? You two knew?" I whispered, betrayal evident in my tone. Thalia's eyes flashed with remorse as she slowly nodded her head. Annabeth began to explain but this time I turned away. Instead of doing what I should've and felt hurt, I laughed. I laughed and laughed until everyone stared at me.

"I'm sorry," I apologized, bitterness lacing my words, sharp as acid. "I just thought I knew my best friends better than that. I thought they would tell me something as big as the great prophecy when one of them was going to die." Nico flinched at that remark yet I waved it off. "Never mind that. Let's get down to business." I finished seriously. My emotions are nothing compared to a war. The teen angst can come back after the war.

Right now we have a battle to prepare for.

AN Sorry this is late and kinda short but I figured it was better to give you something rather than nothing at all so . . . enjoy! I'm not going to try to make up some lame excuse because honestly I've been writing an original novel and reading the Mortal Instruments series making me lose track of time. Thanks for still reading.
