Percy looked at Chaos still confused "Why did you call me daughter. I'm the son of Poseidon and Sally Jackson"
Chaos gestured him to stop "many centuries ago I had a daughter who was destined to one day rule the universe. Seeing how my other children turned out I thought it was best to hide her from everyone. Eventually I thought I can't keep you hidden forever so I send you here wiping your memory so you could grow up with a loving mother that could be there for you. And my decision was right look at you all grown up. And unlike my other children without the thirst for unlimited power"
Percy still looking incredibly confused "But I'm a guy" Chaos raised an eyebrow exactly like Percy always does "Are you?" And she disappeared into black mist leaving Percy wondering whether or not he imagined all of what just happened thinking he might slowly go insane.
Back with the campers Nico still had a death glare on his face as he walked back to camp alongside Chiron. He remembered the box he left on the desk in the Hades cabin and turned to Chiron "I have a couple things to do and I might not be back for a while" Chiron looked at the Son of Hades curiously "very well Nico. Take care and be careful out there. I'll let your father know that you aren't at camp anymore" Nico nodded thankfully and vanished reappearing in the Hades cabin just to grab the Box putting it away in his pockets and disappearing again. This time he appeared outside the camp of hunters slowly approaching their celebration.
"Boys are not welcome here" a small 12 year old hunter with auburn hair greeted Nico before he could get any closer to camp. "Lady Artemis" Nico bowed "I come here asking for Aid in my quest to find Perseus Jackson. If you would be so kind to ask Thalia to meet me outside the camp. I believe I have important information for her." He retreated a bit patiently waiting for Lady Artemis to answer. Artemis interest spiked after hearing the name Perseus Jackson. She was there when Annabeth Chase had ran into the Hunters. But she had her reasons to not judge Percy Jackson. After all he was quite the Anomaly amongst men.
"Very well, Nico di Angelo. I shall relay this to Thalia. But I demand to hear what you have to say as well." The 12 year old girl turned around marching back into camp. "Thalia, follow me" she said approaching her Lieutenant. Thalia gestured apologetically to the huntress she was currently talking to and got up to follow her Mistress. "What is it Lady Artemis?" Thalia asked, curiosity killing her. It wasn't often that the goddess of the moon interrupted a celebration like that. The goddess didn't answer and instead led her to the edge of the camp and a bit beyond. A shadow stepped out of the forest in front of them. Thalia's eyes widened in surprise and rushed to hug Nico "Nico long time no see" she let out. Slowly letting go of Nico she turned around to see Artemis now as a 16 year old huntress standing there looking at them. "But this isn't why you brought me here is it? You wouldn't bring me here to just say Hello to my cousin" "you're correct sister. I brought you here upon his request" gesturing towards Nico. "Since when do you listen to a male?" Artemis shrugged at that, I guess she was bored Thalia thought, turning back to look at Nico Thalia's face showed anticipation and a small hint of anxiety. She knew Nico arrived a day before they did. Without saying a word he pulled out a box from his pocket and opened it for Artemis and Thalia to see what was hidden inside it. Revealing a beautiful Sea green Gem inside it. Nico took a deep breath before speaking "Percy asked me to get this for him to-" his voice broke. Thalia didn't say anything but pulled out the ring she had kept in her pocket made out of one of the hunters bowstrings. The ring had an opening with the exact form and size of the gem inside the box Nico brought. "So that's why you needed an additional bowstring" Artemis noted expressionless.
"Neeks" Thalia called out. "What really happened between Percy and Annabeth" Artemis watched the boy twist and turn after being asked that question "I don't want to say it. But I can show you" the 2 hunters exchanged looks before Thalia gestured for Nico to continue. He raised his hands and murmured something in Greek, smoke formed between them showing the scenes what had happened after his arrival
flashback Nico pov:
I walked into camp making my way towards the dining pavilion.
Upon entering I saw and heard Annabeth holding hands and kissing a new demigod passionately. Before anyone noticed me I quickly looked at the Poseidon table to see or rather to not see Percy and then I shadow travelled to the forest near the beach waiting for Percy to come back from his walk on the beach. Seeing as he frequently went on these hour long walks it was no surprise to me that I roughly estimated correctly where he'd be. I approached Percy and after greeting made him swear on the Styx that he wouldn't come into the dining pavilion tonight to save him from what was happening inside.
After that I went on to find Chiron to announce my arrival.
Upon stepping out of the shadows at the campfire I immediately noticed the son of Poseidon missing and internally thanked the gods that he didn't come to campfire as Annabeth and the new demigod were still holding hands. But when I turned around to the campfire itself to greet Lady Hestia I saw something I never wished to see. A broken Perseus Jackson looking at his girlfriend holding hands with someone else whilst Lady Hestia tried to comfort him.

"That. Doesn't explain why Annabeth ran into us crying her heart out this morning" Thalia said after the vision faded.
Nico sighed "this morning when I got to the pavilion for breakfast Percy wasn't there. Fearing the worst I went to his cabin and nearly had to punch him out of bed. His eyes were still red from the previous night. After I threw a bucket of ice cold water at him he fully woke up soaked in cold water. Few minutes later we walked to the pavilion together so he could have breakfast too. When he went to grab his food Annabeth approached him asking if she could make it up to him to which he simply replied 'No'. Annabeth left after that and that's probably when you ran into her." Artemis raised her hand to prevent Thalia from responding "so far so good but what's so important about all this that you had to interrupt us tonight" Nico just pointed to where the first vision showed up conjuring a second vision showing the pair what happened after the hunters left after their capture the flag win.
"We have to find him" Thalia jumped up. "I'll help" Thalia and Nico turned looking surprised at the auburn haired goddess that hated men over everything volunteering to help not only find a male but also work together with one. Before nodding in unison they shared a Quick Look "very well"
The trio started searching the forest around the camp.
After hours Thalia turned to Nico "Hey neeks did Percy ever mention the location of this 'bay' he kept blubbering about"
"Don't call me that zap queen. And yes I faintly remember him mentioning it" "What are we talking about again" Artemis interfered. Nico motioned Thalia to explain while he tried remembering the directions Percy once mentioned "So Percy kept talking about some crescent shaped 'bay' that according to him no one could see or enter" "Crescent like the moon?" Artemis asked quickly. Thalia nodded "I know where it is" Artemis and Nico looked at each other after they said it at the same time. She let Nico lead the way whilst Thalia followed closely after him.
It wasn't long before they reached a crescent shaped set of cliffs with a bay at the bottom. Looking around they found a small path leading down the cliffs. Pointing the direction of the path Artemis started walking towards it while Thalia was trembling in fear. "Lady Artemis" she looked back at Nico and Thalia confused "we should find a different path" he continued. Raising an eyebrow "that would take even longer" she commented. Nico didn't respond, he just waited for Thalia to say something. After a few minutes of silence Artemis grabbed Thalia's hand and gestured to Nico to grab her other hand. The second their hands touched they turned into moon dust appearing at the bottom of the cliffs again. Thalia, now visibly relieved, quickly let go of Nico's hand before looking around. Noticing a small cabin in the middle of the bay she started walking towards it with the other 2 closely behind her. As they approached the cabin they noticed a black figure leaning on one of the posts. Behind Nico and Thalia Artemis took a sharp breath seeing the figure but they continued walking towards the cabin. Once they reached the door the black lady started to speak "Be careful about what you say" and with that the person simply disappeared leaving nothing to show that she had ever existed in the first place.
They exchanged looks and went to knock on the door regardless. The 2 demigods at the front and Artemis at the back. "I told you to leave me alone, chaos. I want nothing to do with this universe shit" Percy yelled after they knocked. Thalia and Nico looked at each other and in silent agreement bust open the door "What part of leave me alone was hard to understand Chaos" Percy muttered. "We're not chaos" Thalia responded.
The son of Poseidon turned around "Pinecone face" his face lit up slightly turning to Nico "Hi death breath" his eyes now fixating the person behind them "and Lady Artemis?" He hinted at a bow towards her. "Why are you guys here" "We're worried Perce" Nico and Thalia spoke in unison. "You know after" Thalia continued absentmindedly. "I'm okay thals really. I just need time" "No you're n-" Nico interrupted himself before muttering to himself "fine" towards the other 3 "My father is asking for my presence right now I have to leave. Stay safe Thals. It was an honor my lady" bowing to Artemis "Don't do anything stupid Perce" and with that the son of hades vanished inside his own shadow. After Nico left Percy got up. "I take it chaos left after she saw you guys approaching?" Artemis nodded in response. "I'll go watch the night sky and get some fresh air to clear my head" he opened the door and left the 2 hunters in silence.
A couple minutes passed by as the huntresses sat in silence. "Go help him." Artemis suddenly opened up "Whenever I feel horrible Apollo is the only one that can comfort me. Altho the other way around happens much much more commonly"
Thalia got up walking towards the door hesitating before opening it and looking back at her half-sister. Artemis nodded and gestured to her to go.
Thalia took a deep breath and stepped outside looking along the shore line to see her cousin standing a few hundred meters down the shore looking up at the night sky.
Percy pov:
I heard her when she left the cabin. And I heard her footsteps approaching me so when they stopped I just started speaking. "I'm so done Thals. My entire life has been turned upside down. First I found out my girlfriend cheated on me. Then I found out I'm not even important enough to her to notice me next to the hearth next to Hestia. to top it all off I blew the plan today causing us to lose the game and if all of that wasn't enough that. That deceptive spawn of Dolos comes along talking all big like he took down Tartarus himself with his bare hands rendering me useless. I'm just so done." "Shh it's okay Perce I'm here for you" I felt arms around my chest as Thalia hugged me.
Turning towards Thalia I started to cry again. She turned me further and placed my head on her shoulder while she kept embracing me in a war friendly hug. I felt bad not telling her why Chaos was here before. I knew she was dying to find out but I couldn't bring myself to face it just yet.
We must've sat there for hours because when I lifted my head again the moon was barely visible above the cliffs and would soon disappear. It looked weirdly warm tonight. Not as cold and frosty as it usually does. Slowly I slipped out of Thalia's hug finally sitting down on a log nearby. Thalia following suit. "You know you don't have to do this for me sparky" she jokingly punched me on the arm "of course I have to do this Kelp for brains. Even more so for you"
"You know Thals sometimes I wish I could be like you. You know" I looked at her before turning away as he felt his cheeks turning red "join the hunters. Not worry about love forever" Thalia looked at her cousin shocked. "Who says you can't" Artemis' voice could be heard from above them. "Why did you spy on us?" Thalia looked at Artemis angrily.
"I didn't after you left the cabin I left too and have been sitting here since. You just didn't notice when you swapped spots" "What do you mean with that" I interrupted. "The hunters of Artemis are for girls" with a sigh the eternal Huntress started explaining "While you are correct that my hunters are only for girls there is always in every system or situation improvements or adjustments that can be made." "But my lady" Thalia started quickly looking at me apologetically "the hunters would never allow Percy to stay. You know just as well as I did what most of them had to go through" "I know. That's not what I meant regardless." Turning back to me "Perseus why was Lady Chaos here" "She -.. I don't wanna talk about it" I mumbled. "What does Lady Chaos visiting have to do with anything" The moon goddess sighed yet again "Perseus Jackson has been an anomaly in this world ever since he arrived here. He fulfilled a prophecy talking about a child of the oldest god yet he wasn't one." "What do you mean he wasnt one?" Thalia interrupted but Artemis just continued ignoring her "While growing up his childhood had been similar to what many hunters have to go through" I twitched at the memory of Gabe Ugliano blitzing through my mind "while his mortal mother and his godfather Poseidon were unable to interfere and young Perseus was unaware of the Greek world one of us Olympians received the prayers he sent out during those times." I looked at the moon goddess, now entirely confused what she was even trying to say "I received your prayers Perseus" she turned to me.
