Chapter 7 (At Camp Half-Blood)

3rd POV

Percy was back on Olympus attended by Apollo in his palace. Zoe was sitting beside the unconscious Percy on the bright white bed. "He needs to wake up on his own. Ambrosia or nectar won't do any good." Apollo informed Zoe. "Tell me when he wakes up. I'll be back in a while." As Apollo left his palace to tell the others of his conditions. Zoe gently grabbed Percy's hand and her tears came out. "Wake up Percy." She waited a bit longer. "I need you." Zoe decided to rest her head on his chest.

The gods were congratulating on the heroes who survived the battle. The Cabin Counselors were given immortality as the others were rewarded with enhanced gifts for their powers. The Hephaestus and Vulcan demigods started to repair the damage on the city.

Precursor Commander POV

"Commander, why did we retreat? We could've destroyed them easily." My lieutenant asked. "To let their guard down for now, our forces were almost destroyed by that blasted hero, Perseus Jackson." I said. "Should we eliminate him as our first target?"

"No. But he will be our first target; we shall capture him and put him to sleep. We will put him in a container and bury him somewhere in Olympus so the gods won't expect him there." I said. "Yes sir. I will do the preparations for the coming final battle." My lieutenant flashed away.

Percy POV

I heard voices and I'm not sure if it was a dream or reality. "Percy has been in coma for days and it's strange that the Precursors aren't attacking us." I think that voice belonged to Apollo.

"I know that… Are you sure he will awake soon?" a beautiful voice that belonged to a former huntress. "Well, well he's starting to wake up." I slowly open my eyes in a bright room. "Percy!" Zoe flung her arms around me. I yowled in pain. "Oh I'm sorry! I thought… Never mind that! It's good to have you back!" Zoe exclaimed. She was very joyful and looked like she was little kid from a Candy Store. "How are you feeling? Any dizziness? Numbness?" Apollo asked me. I lifted my hands in front of my face and flexed them. "No. I feel… Great." I replied. "The meeting is going to start soon-"Hermes came from the door and gaped at me. I got up and sat on the bed, "Don't tell anyone that I'm awake for now. Apollo and Hermes, I'll see you in the Throne room with Zoe." I said they both nodded and flashed away.

"Take it easy Percy…" Zoe had worry in her eyes and tried to keep a smile. I grinned and kissed her passionately. "I'm fine, my huntress." She blushed at what I called her.

3rd POV

Zeus was waiting impatiently for Apollo and Hermes. The immortal campers knew this meeting was about Percy Jackson. Apollo and Hermes flashed in and took their respective thrones. "Now we are all here.." Zeus was interrupted by the throne gates opening and revealing Percy and Zoe. Everyone froze and gasped. As soon as everyone was over the shock they started welcoming him and asking for his forgiveness. "ENOUGH!" Percy bellowed everyone kept quiet. He kneeled before Zeus and stood in the center of the Throne room.

"Rise, Perseus Jackson. You have helped us still in the battle when we treated you awfully… Once again I thank you for your services for aiding us." Zeus said. Everyone but Zoe felt shameful.

"I didn't aid you to save Olympus or the gods." Percy said. "Wait son, what are you saying?" Poseidon asked. "Let me finish Lord Poseidon. I came here because you're still my family, Zoe convinced me to help you. Now, how long was I out?" Percy asked.

"4 days. You were in coma for 4 days in my palace. We thought you'd be like that forever." Apollo answered. Percy thanked Apollo which made his day.

"Well, I know one thing for sure is that the Commander is still alive tormenting other places." Percy guessed. "You are correct. The Commander was severely injured thanks to you that forced him to retreat with the portion of his army. We are in a crisis and the world is in danger. We are at war." Zeus boomed. "I better continue my journey. I'll leave tomorrow. Let's go Zoe." Percy left the Throne room as Zoe followed him. "Well the meeting was about Perseus but he has awakened. I want all of you to train hard as you can! Meeting adjourned!" Zeus flashed away with thunder rumbling. As Zoe and Percy walked near the palaces, Artemis flashed in front of them. Percy bowed and asked politely "Lady Artemis, what brings you here?"

"I'm here to ask Zoe if she needs a place to stay. You do need one after the events have happened." Artemis said glaring a bit at Percy but in the inside she was all like lovesick Aphrodite girl. "Sure Milady if it's okay with Percy." Zoe looks at him for confirmation. He just nodded in understanding and walked away to the balcony to leave the two.

The night sky was filled with constellations and Percy looked at the city. It was still damaged but better than before. He felt a presence and turned around. "Hello Annabeth. Came here to apologize?" Percy said emotionless. She nodded "I'm sorry for what I did. I regret it very much, could we at least be friends?" he thought about it "Yeah, sure I forgive you but it doesn't mean I trust you completely." He said and she nodded in understanding and was joyful she got his forgiveness and walked away leaving Percy alone in the garden. He felt a breeze pass by him. He sat on a wooden bench that was in the center of the garden. He felt great and he started planning things for his trip. The last artifact that the Precursors were searching for.
