A/N- AND DONEEEE
HOPE Y'ALL LIKE IT!


THE NEXT MORNING…whenever he wanted.

"That's pretty cool." Pollux grinned at Percy.

"Ah, the joy of freedom after a tiresome quest. Feels like heaven." Thalia chuckled. All the gods of the House of Heroes nodded in agreement.

On the way…were sleeping in.

"I'm sorry, did you just say that my son was sleeping in a stable?" Poseidon asked quietly.

"I wanted to." Tyson said quickly. "I wanted to stay near Mrs. O'Leary." He said. Poseidon looked at him and his gaze softened as he gestured to Hermes to continue reading.

Tyson snored on a…They didn't have time.

Everybody sighed in disappointment.

"That really is a pity. Roman games, especially those are extremely entertaining." Apollo said.

Percy told them…War by Sun Tzu.

The ones who had read it, whistled.

"That's goooddd." Chris said with a nod. Ares gave him an approving look.

"Brilliant." Pollux agreed.

"Its gold." Katie said.

"Its actually amazing." Frank smiled widely at Ares. Clarisse nodded in agreement.

"Very interesting." Annabeth added in as well. Percy frowned, still not having read it.

Percy had never heard of it

A few people stared at him open mouthed.

"How?" Clarisse said. Percy shrugged.

"Never really looked into it." He sighed. "But I suppose that it is due." He said.

"You like reading?" Athena asked, disbelief coloring her voice. Poseidon glared at her and Percy raised his eyebrows at the same goddess but he gave no answer.

But he could guess…weapon is his mind.

Athena looked at Ares, shock written plainly on her face.

"Hey, that's enough of that, all right." Apollo snapped at her, noticing her gaze which Athena had now turned on him and looked away after seeing the annoyance in the usually calm god's eyes. Ares gave a small grateful nod to Apollo which the god of the sun returned.

"That is very true, though. You know what to do and you already have the best weapon. You give a person the most powerful weapon in the universe but they have no strategy then it's of no use." Chiron said, in his teaching tone. All the Greek campers turned their gazes as they nodded in understanding, their respect for him, clearly visible.

This was your mom's…respect for me.

Percy laughed lightly.

"You don't have to doubt that anymore, I suppose." He said. Ares smirked smugly.

"Don't ruin it." Percy told him with a chuckle and the god of war grinned sheepishly.

"Wow." Percy handed…Ares can read."

Ares sighed. Athena looked like she agreed which Percy noticed and he glared at her.

"Hey, I got off on the wrong foot with him and I've learnt which is something that you should have been able to do after spending centuries with him. Show him some respect. He's the god of war and that's one of the hardest things to survive." Percy scowled at her. Ares and Athena looked at Percy in surprise and they weren't the only ones. Athena glared at the younger god but Percy didn't break her gaze and Athena had to admit that that impressed her a bit. Clarisse and Frank shot Percy grateful looks.

Frank flipped through…It should have been."

"And it not being there was message enough. Thanks, dad." Hazel smiled at Hades and gave him a hug which took Hades by surprise but he returned it with a smile nonetheless.

"You think your… Come on!"

Everybody laughed, breaking the tension.

"Once you hide behind huge butts, you know each other in a totally different way." Frank nodded sagely, making everybody crack up even more.

The tension broke…If he got hold of Ella

Tyson's eye darkened.

"If he hurts her, I will hurt him." He said, the truth behind the threat, lingering in his words. A few people looked at him in surprise but they couldn't blame him for it. They understood just how much Ella meant to him.

"You're right…funny and small."

Leo faux glared at Tyson. "Thanks." He said. The cyclops grinned at him sheepishly, all trace of the anger that he had just shown a few moments ago was gone.

The scroll looked…several cups of coffee

"I did." Leo admitted. Beckendorf and Hephaestus were just grinning at Leo and the holographic scroll that he had made.

"That scroll sounds brilliant already." Beckendorf told him.

"It really was." Hephaestus nodded. Leo blushed under the praise of his brother and father.

He was sitting…stifled a scream.

Leo and Hazel exchanged small, sad smiles. Hades sighed, knowing exactly who Sammy Valdez was, having seeing his soul in the Underworld. He'd managed to make it to Elysium after he'd defended quite a few people against discrimination. That's the reason that Hazel had never been able to find him even after there was a point where both of them had been in the Underworld at the same time.

"Well, that's more awkward than running into an ex with your girlfriend." Travis sighed. Demeter raised an eyebrow at him.

"Are you speaking from experience?" she asked. Travis laughed nervously.

"Its funny, you see-" He started awkwardly. Hades and Persephone looked at each other as they muffled their chuckles.

"I don't want to know." Demeter said, holding her hands up. Travis shot Katie a miserable look and Katie chuckled.

"What?" Frank asked… "Repair boy."

Leo pouted at Piper and all the people on the Argo II laughed. Hephaestus and Aphrodite exchanged small, sad smiles, remembering the times when Aphrodite used to call him exactly that. Ares gave a frown when he noticed it but that wasn't because he was jealous, it was because he was slowly realizing that maybe…the god of fire and goddess of love shared something much deeper.

"Nah, you were the supreme commander." Jason laughed and Leo grinned at him.

"You bet."

"Very funny, Piper… demigodishness, and all that.

This time, everybody laughed.

"Love it." Connor winked at Leo.

"Ingenious. We're using that now. Its official." Travis grinned at the son of Hephaestus who gave him a two fingered salute.

Peace out…run across a coincidence.

"That's because, in our world, there are none." Artemis stated.

"In a way, its good. You know that there is a reason for everything." Apollo said.

"Yeah but at the same time, its exhausting to always search for one." Dionysus sighed. A few people looked taken aback by his response but most looked like they agreed.

"And sometimes it kills you to know it." Hades added. Persephone squeezed his hand comfortingly and Nico sighed. Poseidon grimaced, knowing exactly what his brother was talking about especially when he looked at him.

They were interrupted…a purple cape.

The Romans face palmed.

"The camp is safe…question as an opening.

"You really were tired of hearing him talk, weren't you?" Reyna snickered.

"Can you really blame me? I don't even know how you managed to sit in the same room as that idiot and let him talk. Its worse than a school lecture." Percy groaned.

"Whoa. Those are some pretty big accusations." Travis said, holding his palms up.

"Trust me when I say that I'm not exaggerating." Percy said, looking him dead in the eye, making the son of Hermes gasp dramatically.

"I like the scale of measuring annoyance." Annabeth said amusedly, making Percy grin sheepishly at her.

Octavian stammered…since I was."

Everybody hooted and whistled.

"Persassy, everybody!" Connor cheered. Percy grinned and bowed. Poseidon smirked smugly.

"That was too good." Reyna chortled, remembering the scene.

"The look on his face was priceless." Dakota snickered.

"Love how it comes naturally." Piper laughed.

"Honestly, you and Reyna were the only ones who could make him shut up." Jason said amusedly. Reyna and Percy high fived.

Some of the senators…situation wasn't serious?"

"That and the fact that he restored the honor of your legion." Castor added, emphasizing on the 'you' to the Romans who grimaced. Honestly, the son of Dionysus always had a way of making them look at the ways of how they could change.

"He's right…true hero of Rome?"

"Especially one who was raised as praetor." Jason added. Percy gave him a small smile which Jason nodded to.

Nobody argued…can become friends

"Enemies of our enemies are our friends." Nico declared. All the Greeks nodded. A few Olympians raised their eyebrows but said nothing. If that's what worked then sure.

A week ago… "He's got a point."

"A very good one at that." Pollux nodded.

"The demigods of… "You… what?"

All the Greeks and Olympians snorted.

"Welcome to the world of Percy Jackson and him doing the impossible." Beckendorf grinned.

"Fighting the king of titans. No big deal." Reyna swallowed.

"I don't even know…how did you even-?" Jason shook his head, still not able to believe it that now Percy had fought Kronos multiple times.

"Trust me, nor do I." Percy answered.

"Because you're good, Percy. Believe in yourself, son." Poseidon smiled at Percy, more proud than he could ever put into words.

"I know it's hard…making things up, now."

"I genuinely don't have the will to do that." Percy rolled his eyes.

Reyna frowned…snapped in the wind

All the Greeks cheered and whooped loudly. Hephaestus and Beckendorf clapped Leo on the back as the son of Hephaestus grinned widely, remembering his ship.

The Argo II…ship he'd ever seen

All the younger gods cheered for Leo who took a bow, making the cheers get that much louder.

"It was beautiful." Percy grinned at him and Leo smiled widely. Hephaestus chuckled, knowing just how Leo felt.

"Praetors…Greeks bearing gifts!"

"Shut up. You're not a praetor." Jason snapped.

"If only he realized that." Reyna sighed.

"Somebody get duct tape for him, man." Lee groaned.

He jabbed a finger…I did last night.

"That's fair." Everybody nodded.

"You'd make a good king, nephew." Hades nodded earnestly at Percy, still curious about the younger god. Percy smiled at him gratefully.

"That means a lot especially coming from a king who I deeply respect." He said. Hades looked surprised by that but he nodded his thanks to him. Poseidon smiled at Percy, glad that Percy never fell for the stereotypes that the world had built around the god of dead.

But it is not…much longer than Percy

"Just as we'd follow you and Annabeth without any hesitation at all." Katie told Percy and Annabeth who smiled gratefully.

"I hope that we remain worthy of that." Percy said. Annabeth's eyes widened at the way that he said 'we' but it warmed her nonetheless.

"You already are and always will be." Connor told him seriously. The sea gang smiled proudly at Percy while Athena nodded at Annabeth with a smile on her face as well.

"Hold your fire…meet our…new friends."

"Thank you, Reyna." Percy told her earnestly as the former praetor nodded.

"You were chosen for a reason, Percy. I trust you." She told him. Percy kept a hand on his heart and bowed.

"That means a lot." He said. Reyna smiled at him.

The senators stampeded…followed the crowd.

"Yeah well, fuck you, Octavian." Clarisse snorted, making a few people laugh and nod in agreement.

Reyna stood at…I've missed him."

Jason and Reyna sighed.

She marched outside…to my other family.

Hermes closed the book with a smile on his face.

"Chapter's done." He said. "And so is the book." He grinned. Everybody cheered and whooped.

"That was a rollercoaster." Triton sighed, knowing that it was about to get much more insane now.

"Lets break." Chiron smiled.
