Chapter 30 - Percy

Before Percy could blink, he was in front of the Gods of Olympus, holding his dead sister in his arms.

"Perseus Jackson." Zeus stated formally. "Your sister, even though hidden from us-" A glare at Poseidon at those words. "Saved the world by defeating the corrupt goddess Gaea. Now, we know she has died, but she has died from too much power in her system."

"What do you mean?" Percy asked, holding back his tears.

"I mean that she is dangerously powerful. Her powers were so strong that they killed her slowly from the inside. There is only one way for her to survive."

Percy looked up in hope and disbelief. "There is?"

The king of the gods sighed. "Yes."

"Well what is it?" Percy asked.

•••

When they finally made it back to Camp Half-Blood, the rest of their friends were there.

When the others saw Percy and Celeste coming, they all cried out in relief.

Smiles and hugs were passed everywhere.

There were, of course, casualties from both sides. Few though.

Reyna had calmed the camp.

But the fun wasn't over just yet.

"Can I have everyone's attention please?" Percy called over the campers once everyone had settled down.

Everyone shushed each other and turned to look at Percy.

Percy looked over at Celeste, smiled, and took her hand, pulling her close to him. He couldn't have been more happier to see his sister alive.

Of course, many of his friends looked shocked to see Celeste alive.

Percy also noticed that Jason and Piper were alive and well. But he had more important things to worry about.

"This is my sister Celeste. Now, she has special powers. More special than all of our powers and the gods powers combined. These powers were killing her and there was only one thing we could do to save her." Percy paused, glancing at Celeste. His expression read, "Are you sure you want me to tell them?"

Celeste nodded.

The crew form the Argo 2 had confused and worried looks on their faces.

Percy sighed and continued. "May I present to you Celeste Jackson. Daughter of Poseidon, sister of mine, and Goddess of the Sea."

Want more? The sequel, Goddess of the Sea, will be out soon! Look for it!
