Annabeth ran into her cabin with tears streaming down her face, she regretted her decision of not joining Percy but she couldn't leave the camp and her family, it was just so sudden. She walked over to the bathroom and created some mist by pressing her finger to the tip of the tap, she threw a golden drachma through and said "O' Iris goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering. Show me Percy Jackson." She waited and waited but after a few minutes the drachma was thrown back in her face and the goddesses voice spoke in her mind "Annabeth, you are forbidden to talk to Percy Jackson, he has been banished." Annabeth squeezed her eyes shut and felt the pressure of someone's hand on her shoulder "Annabeth, it's alright. Percy may not have deserved it, but the laws of the god's have been around for millions of years, Percy escaped lightly." Chiron soothed and Annabeth turned around and gave him a huge hug, Chiron was in his wheel chair and gave out an OOF! Of surprise.
The camp was generally a depressing place for the next couple of days, which is saying something because usually it is bustling with activity. The loss of the only children of the big three had shocked them greatly, after having Percy lead them through the Titan war the previous summer they all respected him and looked up with him, even Thalia and Nico who only visited every now and then were missed dearly and the cabins quickly collected dust.
A week later Tyson arrived at camp and ran into Poseidon cabin to greet his half-brother Percy. The other campers had voted Annabeth to tell him about the banishing. She knocked on the door and held her breath, silently praying that he would've gone home, but no such luck. The door was thrown open and Annabeth was crushed in a massive embrace. Tyson let go after a while and looked down at Annabeth's face "What is wrong?" he asked slowly, Cyclops weren't very educated and Tyson was young, this made Annabeth feel even more ashamed because she considered him as dear as a younger brother, now she had to break his heart. "Urm, I'm sorry Tyson but Percy isn't coming back. He was banished," she rushed through her words then held her breath again waiting for Tyson to explode or bellow at her but all he did was stand there trying to process what she was saying, when it dawned at him Annabeth had to look away because his one big brown eye was filled with sadness and had even started to tear up "Percy?" He called out sadly and ran away back into the ocean.
Tyson never returned to camp, when Annabeth went to Olympus to receive her award for defeating Gaea she had asked Poseidon about him, He had said that person was the best worker there but never did anything BUT work. She felt guilty for this and didn't think she should've accepted the gift of immortality that the Gods offered her and the other heroes of the two wars.
She sat on the bottom of a sculpture that she helped design when she became the architect of Olympus and looked out over the skyline of Manhattan, she wondered if Percy was still alive and out there somewhere and that Nico and Thalia were safe too. She didn't notice a masked figure running round the back of the palace, helping them repair the damage and restoring everyones health and powers. Behind the mask that person grinned.
