Chapter Eight
~Will's POV~
After making sure the injured was taken care of, there was a meeting at the dining pavilion.
Between both camps we made a treaty.
Reyna was talking about the seven of the prophecy's quest, when yelling started happening.
We all ran to the source. There was a crowd on Half-Blood Hill.
Walking through the crowd, I saw why everyone was yelling.
There laying on the hill with green lines up from his neck to his eyes, was Percy.
I walked up to see the girl try to heal him, but gave up.
I heard a few gasps behind me.
"What happened?" I asked, kneeling down on the opposite side as the girl.
She continued to stare at his face, not talking.
"Gaea happened." Piper said, answering my question.
"I thought you said you could heal him, if you brought him here?" Annabeth asked the girl.
The girl sniffled. "That was before his fate was sealed." She stated.
"What do you mean his fate is sealed, he's still alive?" Nico asked.
The girl looked up at Nico and held out her hand, palm down before flipping it over, revealing a sea green yarn.
Many campers gasped.
"How did you get his life cord?" I asked.
"I'm the Champion of the Fates, Son of Apollo." She replied.
There was a flash of light and there stood the gods.
Poseidon came over to us. I got up and back away.
He was reaching for Percy, but the Fates Champion stopped him.
"Don't. What happened to him, might spread to you." She warned.
"I am a god." He countered.
"If I couldn't heal him, then no one can heal you." She warned again.
Poseidon gave up. "He's going to die?"
"He is dying." Hades intervened.
We all looked at Percy with sadness.
We remembered the times before this war, or some from his first year at Camp Half-Blood.
How he was willingly to sacrifice himself for us in the Titan War.
The sparing, capture the flags, and sing alongs.
And, here we are watching as he dies before his 17th birthday.
After a few minutes of everyone lost in their own grief or memories, it happened.
"Gone." The Fates champion whispered. "Gaea was right. He did die as the Betrayer of The Sea."
She got up and turned, walking out of camp.
"Wait!" She stopped. "What does that mean?" Athena asked.
She turned back. "That secret dies with him."
Then, she was gone.
