Dang. Two in one day. Good job me.
Nico's POV
"Long time no see, Percy", I said.
"Is there anyone else with you"? Percy asked
"No"
"Good"
Then they just awkwardly stood in silence.
"So how have you been these past, I don't know, twenty years", Percy asked after what felt like five minutes.
"Oh you know", I said. "Been doing this and that".
"Is camp better without me"? Percy asked. I didn't respond. "Is it?"
"Depends on who you are", I said, careful of my word choice.
"And who are you?" Percy asked.
"I'm with the people that miss you", Nico said. "Same with Dad. Believe it or not Annabeth misses you".
"I'm not going back", Percy said, shaking his head. "I'm not. You know what happened. You know why I'm not going back. That's why you tracked me down here, isn't it?".
"There's a war going on Percy", I said. "We need your help".
"I'm not giving it to you".
"Why?"
"You know why", Percy said, as I remembered what happened.
~~~~-Flashback-~~~~
The date was November 22nd. It was a peaceful day. Orange leaves and all. That was the day Percy saved the camper that ruined him.
His name was Sheev. Strange name, but they took him nonetheless. He looked like a child that had progeria, but they still took him in. Biggest mistake of their lives.
Soon after, he was claimed by Ares, so he was marked as one of the more ruthless ones. Then, the entire camp got a punch in the gut. The Ares cabin was burned to the ground. Then, many of the other minor gods' cabins got burned to the ground with brand new campers. Then, a forest housing the majority of the dryad population got razed. After that, the other major gods' cabins got destroyed. Artemis, Demeter, Hades, Dionysus, Aphrodite, Hera, Zeus, Apollo, Athena, and Hepheastus got exploded. All of the people went to the Hermes cabin, and then, the Hermes cabin caught fire. Then there was one. Poseidon. People were obviously searching for whoever did this, but now there was one cabin left, and only one person in the cabin. So people suspected him. Percy. They blamed him. Everybody. Even some of Percy's closest friends. Annabeth, Leo, Piper, Grover, himself. Everyone. Percy was exiled. We heard traces of him for about a year, and then he disappeared, like he jumped off the edge of the world.
If you read closely, there is a hint about the plot. Anyway bye.
