Hey guys, I'm going to change my username :) It's gonna be ravenclawshadowhunter13, so look out for that xD And I know I just updated earlier, but I'm in a good mood! And this chapter is gonna be a little different from the others. I don't know how to explain, so read it.

CAMP HALF-BLOOD

Chiron stood in front of the campers, watching them eat their dinner as they laughed and joked among themselves. He could hear some of them talking about the quest, and the Seven, and his heart panged. If only they already knew what he was about to tell them! He truly did not want to have to break this horrible news to them. But break it he must. There was no other way.

Squaring his shoulders, Chiron cleared his throat.

The campers stopped talking and turned to face him expectantly. Several of them whispered and elbowed each other-they knew this was a quest update. However, this was not the update they were expecting.

"As you all know, Percy, Annabeth, Leo, Piper, and the Roman demigods are on the quest to defeat Gaea that is perhaps the most dangerous quest ever undertaken. Yesterday, the demigods won. Gaea is a threat no more."

Instantly the campers started cheering. "Go Percy! Go Annabeth!" they hollered, only the Hephaestus and Aphrodite cabins yelling Leo and Piper's names-they were too new for recognition, but Percy and Annabeth were camp legends. Everyone knew and admired them, which was going to make this a lot harder.

Chiron spoke over the noise. "However, two demigods have died. Greek demigods."

Whispers broke out. Everyone was looking sadly at Cabins Nine and Ten, knowing that their newest members were dead-or so they thought. Of course they would think Percy and Annabeth wouldn't have died! That thought was simply unacceptable.

Chiron decided to rip off the Band-Aid, as the mortal expression went. "Percy and Annabeth have received Elysium for their work."

Dead silence.

Then, "WHAT?!" That was Clarisse, standing up from the Ares table. "You have to be joking! Valdez, superstar daughter-they can't-I-Annabeth-Percy-"

Chiron gave the campers a grave look and retreated, not knowing what else to say.

There was an uproar as the demigods got up, ran to other tables, and started talking. All of them wore looks of disbelief on their faces-even the usually unshakeable Ares cabin-and kept glancing up at Chiron to see if he would say, "Fooled you!" But he didn't, and so they realized it was true. Some people started sobbing. Most were in shock. The Athena cabin whispered frantically amongst themselves, most likely wondering what Annabeth could have done wrong that had led to her death and electing a new counsellor, and the other cabins' kids were quiet, staring mournfully at the empty Poseidon table. Percy had always been alone there, and now he'd never know what it was like to have a half-sister or –brother with him.

Chiron watched as the camp broke down, unable to accept that their heroes were gone. And he could do nothing about it. He could only stand there and mourn the losses of two incredibly powerful and brave demigods.
