Jason and Piper: Jason Grace was happy. He had Thalia back, he had Piper by his side and most importantly, he was no longer torn between two camps. He was the second of the group to propose, and now he and Piper are going to be the first ones to get married, in less than a month. Jason had popped the question in an expensive restaurant in New York and nobody knows the details of that night except for the couple. He now wants to have a relaxed life with Piper and just take it easy. He usually lives at camp but after realising he will need mortal money if he wanted to support his family, he decided to work part-time with the wind Gods. He doesn't earn mortal money but drachmas. Then sells them off for mortal money. The conversion factor is so high that one drachma gets him at least 1,000 dollars, and he earns 6 drachmas a day. Rich man, I tell you. His job is basically altering the wind direction and speed in the different parts of the country assigned to him by the wind God Aeolus. He has to travel a lot, but when you can fly, travelling is so much easier. For his 'valiant and extraordinary efforts in the battles', as Zeus put it, he was offered any gift he desired. People were initially shocked that he wasn't offered immortality, but later Jason clarified that he and Piper knew there was a chance they would be offered this gift and had made their decision of staying mortal very clear to Zeus early on. So now was the chance for Jason and Piper both to ask anything they could.

"We're mortals, and I will have a family to support soon enough. I want to give them the very best of everything. Pipes deserves it all, and I believe we have earnt a well-deserved break too. We want Olympus to swear an oath that no matter what, any member of the Grace family or anyone related to us by blood will never face a financial crisis."

Zeus was a bit stumped at this request. "Son, I understand you're looking out for them, but we cannot control what happens to them, only the fates can!"

Piper spoke in between, "The fates decide how successful they will be. We are just saying you need to take care they don't die of hunger. I don't think you will face objection from the fates if you maybe credit their bank account or something along those lines."

Jason further explained, "We know the rest of the hardships they face are all controlled by the fates. And even if they weren't, we just want them to have the basic amenities. They should work hard for everything else on their own. Nobody can know that better than a Roman, you know this dad. It's a reasonable request. Much easier than granting us immortality. Besides, it's a gift to both of us, you don't have to give us different things!"

For a while, Zeus looked thoughtful, but then he didn't even bother asking for a vote. He just spoke an oath stating he and the Council would honour their request just as described by Jason. Both the demigods as well as the others were smiling at that, and this concluded Jason and Piper's gifts.

Thalia: Thalia was in a weird mood during the gift ceremony. Her name was called just after Jason and Piper were done, and she was mildly surprised at that because this time she didn't feel like she had done something great.

"Thalia, my daughter. It all started with you, even if you didn't know that. It was our plan that made you endure so much pain and torcher in that pit - a place where admittedly even some of us fear to venture."

Thalia raised an eyebrow at the 'some' part but let Zeus continue anyways.

"You had the chance to escape that by ratting us out, by rating your sisters out. But you didn't do that. Then once you were out, ignoring the trauma you must have been in, you came and fought for us valiantly like a great hero. Percy admitted that his plan suited only you because he thought you were one of the few people who could survive that and still be the same. For your valour, dedication to us and invaluable contribution in three long, hard wars, you too will get one gift from us. Ask, and it shall be yours. And yes, you are already half immortal, but you can ask for full immortality as well."

The room was silent except for the sound of multiple beings breathing as Thalia strongly considered the pros and cons.

"Father, can I talk to you alone for a moment, please?"

"Uh...sure." And with that Zeus teleported them into the air. Guessing Thalia was her daughter and would have no trouble floating in the air like Jason, he teleported her literally high in the air. And obviously, Thalia freaked out. She started screaming and falling to her death. At first, Zeus could actually not believe one of his children weren't able to fly, but he quickly teleported them on the ground and cushioned Thalia's fall with the air.

"Thalia, are you alright?" The father asked as the daughter blushed.

"Uh...what was that? Why didn't you control the air around you and float?"

"Uh...I...I'm kinda...kinda scared of heights..?" The end sounded more like a question but Zeus understood. At first, Zeus stared wide-eyed. He couldn't believe it. A daughter of the sky scared of heights?

"Since how long?" He softly asked.

"Uh...since I was born..?"

And much to Thalia's dismay, Zeus started chuckling. The proudy daughter of the sky looked at her father with eyes wide in anger and started to trun back and walk away. Just then Zeus called out to her, "Wait! Don't you want me to fix that for you?"

Thalia was now shocked.

"You...you can do that?"

"Not me, but the phobia is a mental thing. Had you approached Dionysis earlier, he'd have fixed this for you. Never mind. Tell me why you brought me here. As soon as we get back and finish the gifts, I'll ask Dionysis to stay back and cure your phobia."

"Wait...just like that? Oh, my Gods, I was actually contemplating asking that as my gift!"

"What! Something so petty!No! No way. You deserve something much better. Something like immortality."

And now Thalia replied without hesitation, "I'll take it. I'll accept the gift of immortality from you and the Council with honour, but only if you give me your word I still get to be with my sisters."

"Artemis will kill me otherwise, so yes, Besides, you took her oath so you're kinda bound to her," Zeus said, but his face was delightful. Soon they returned, and it was announced that Thalia Grace had agreed to become immortal. Thalia wanted to help more and more girls with their hardships and hence she had taken this decision. There was obviously no resentment among the demigods, they were just glad one of them would be around forever to 'keep the Gods in check' as Percy put it.

She is now the only fully immortal being in the hunt apart from Lady Artemis. She along with her sister Artemis - who she is closer than ever, roam the world, explore different cities, cultures and save girls and try to give them a good future. They are now even planning to expand their operations to open an NGO so that even mortal girls can have support and assistance.

Thalia meets Percy and Annabeth whenever she is at camp to just hang out and have some cheeseburgers and fries. She says she can live without nectar and ambrosia but the fries with her friends is the best thing. She also keeps in touch with Jason very frequently, via IMs and telephone calls.

Percy and Annabeth: Percy still remembers the day it all started as if it were yesterday. He and Annabeth had almost left for New Rome to join college when that announcement from Zeus changed the course of history and drastically changed their lives. After seeing Frank propose, he wanted to do it himself but was feeling very nervous. Before he could think too much, Jason had come to him and asked for help. He was proposing to Piper the next day and was very nervous. Percy helped him and in the process was able to get over his nervousness too. So as soon as Jason had proposed, he'd started planning. It had taken him a long time, but only three weeks ago he had been the last of the guys from the prophecy - couples to pop up the question.

He had planned a wonderful dinner underwater with an assortment of the most beautiful sea creatures handpicked by him from across the world swimming near them. There was romantic music playing in the background. He had made a giant bubble for them to spend time in and himself prepared dinner. He'd just told Annabeth it was a date, but then suddenly Percy produced a collage out of thin air.

A collage consisting of some beautiful pictures of him and Annabeth taken during candid times by his friends at camp. There was the underwater kiss as well as a lot of their adventures. The title of the collage was a simple, uncreative 'The seaweed - Wise girl moments', but the wise girl in question didn't seem to care. While Annabeth was already teary-eyed while examining the pictures, Percy sat on one knee. When Annabeth looked up, a beautiful ring and a kneeled down Percy were staring at her. She had known this would soon happen, but the way Percy had done it blew her mind.

"Annabeth, since the time you came into my life we have been a perfect combination. We can fight together, dance together, laugh and cry together. You and I are basically one, wise girl. I breathe you, I feel you, I care for you, I adore you, I feel mesmerized by you. I love you. People want the best girlfriends, how can they when you're already mine? They also want the best wives - For once I wanna be selfish and take that away from them as well. Annabeth Chase, I cannot envision a future without you, a life where you exist as anything but my wife, a life where you're not mine to love and to hold you until the day I die. So will you do the honour of marrying me?"

For a moment Annabeth was numb. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she stared wordlessly at Percy. Then eventually she regained composure and nodded, Percy whooped loudly, stood up and they had another memorable underwater kiss. This one felt like one for the ages. Annabeth took her time examining the ring later that night, and since the proposal whenever you see Percy and Annabeth together, a lovestruck smile always graces their features.

"PERCY JACKSON." Zeus' voice had boomed the last when calling out people for gifts after the war. Annabeth had not yet been called, but instead of calling out her name and addressing her separately, Zeus motioned for her to come forward along with Percy itself. The whole celebration muted down and every whisper and murmur ceased. "Perseus Jackson, for your outstanding contribution in all the wars, Olympus owes you everything. Today, we offer you a gift we have never offered anyone. Last time we asked you whether you wanted to be immortal or not and you denied for the sake of love. Today we offer you an upgraded version of that. We offer you a place in the Olympian Council with a throne right by your father's side." Those words made Percy actually open his mouth in shock. Being an Olympian was not a tiny matter. It was huge, to say the least. But to the utter shock of the audience, Zeus was still not done. He went on, "Last time you denied our gracious offer for love. This time, for her countless inputs, support and leadership skills, we offer the same choice to Annabeth Chase too. If you both are willing, we can grant you both immortality as well as a place in the Olympian Council for your courage, loyalty and flawless tactics." Zeus had a small smile while Poseidon and Athena were grinning, almost certain that their children would never miss this offer.

Percy asked for time and privacy to discuss this with Annabeth and he and Annabeth were transported to camp and given a duration of 5 minutes to discuss. They talked some and Percy came up with an idea that made Annabeth even more proud of her seaweed brain. Once they were teleported back, Percy said, "Lord Zeus. We are so much honoured at what you are offering us. But we will have to refuse, I'm sorry."

Zeus, Poseidon and Athena stood up from their throne with shock and a collective "WHAT!", while Dionysis coughed on whatever he was drinking. For a moment Apollo stopped looking at how hot he looked in the mirror and every God, even the ones who hated Percy and Annabeth were looking at them wide-eyed. The demigods too were shocked, seeing no reason as to why they'd refuse. Percy had an explanation, "Lord Zeus, with all due respect, the offer is something words cannot describe. But the thing is, Annabeth and I, we were never actually fascinated by the idea of living forever. We always wanted to live, grow old and die one day. We wanna experience life like we're meant to. And besides, neither of us can live knowing that one day our best friends - all of them, will die while we just live on. Each of them had such a huge role to play and to us, it seems so unfair that they will die while we sit on a throne enjoying a 'forever'. I'm sorry. Dad, I'm sorry." He finished while Athena also received an apology from her daughter. Zeus couldn't do anything about it, it was their decision and neither their parents nor the King of the Gods could exactly force it on them. So they just sat back again. After a deep breath, Zeus spoke, "Very well. But since you two took so long you must've thought of something else. What is it?"

"We will have separate gifts, Lord Zeus. Annabeth will ask for her gift first if it's all right with you." When Zeus looked expectantly at Annabeth, the daughter of Athena began, "Lord Zeus, now that we don't have any monsters around, I want all the minor Gods to spend more time with their childr-"

"Oh great, not this again! We have been agreeing to such gifts since the Titan war! First, it was Percy and then Jason, haven't they done enough for the minor Gods already?" Zeus intervened with frustration.

"Let me finish, please. I want all the minor Gods to spend more time with their children within the camp and I want the Olympians to do the same thing. Also, the main thing I want is for the Council to swear an oath to never lie to any demigod ever again." That raised a huge uproar from all the Gods, including kinder ones like Hermes and even Poseidon. A skeptical look from Percy was graciously ignored as the sea God vehemently opposed the idea - not with words, but his expressions said it all.

"I believe the reactions explain the answer." Stated Zeus simply.

Annabeth wasn't bogged down though. "Fine, I'll rephrase it. I want the Council to swear an oath to never lie to any demigod present in this room ever again whenever the lie is related to wars and battles against any kind of enemy of Olympus. That is now non-negotiable. We just want you to be honest. We deserve it."
After this Zeus had to ask for a vote. "All in favour of granting this gift?"

Surprisingly none of the Gods raised their hands, not even Athena or Poseidon. Just then all the demigods suddenly stood up and one by one started leaving the throne room. While the Gods stared in confusion, Poseidon spoke up, "Wait! Where do you think you are going?"

"Our life, our wish. If you cannot respect us and treat us as your children, you're not gonna get the benefits of being our parents. You're Olympians and you used us for a long while. Now with no monsters anymore we will leave camp and go somewhere far off where you cannot reach us, Lord Poseidon." Percy said and even mock bowed. For a while, the Gods stared with surprise, not impressed by the demigods. But what could they do when not one, not two but ALL their children were opposing?

"WAIT! OKAY OKAY, WE SWEAR WE WILL SWEAR! GET BACK!" Zeus' words brought everyone back to their places. Annabeth was still looking at Zeus skeptically. Zeus just swore the oath and got it done with. The demigods rejoiced almost as if they'd won another war. Once Annabeth's turn was finished, Percy came up and said, "I want immortality."

There was suddenly mayhem and utter confusion among everyone, but Percy soon cleared it up, "I want you to give immortality to someone else as my gift."

"Percy! Do not mock the gift of immortality! It is the highest honour anyone can receive! We can't just give it to anyone." Poseidon said.

"Not anyone, dad. How about someone who was the most instrumental in not just this but every win we ever had? A person who made us who we are. A person without whom we would've all been dead. Surely such a person deserves immortality?"

"Who is this person you are speaking of? Tell us his name and we'll judge for ourselves first." Athena said.

"Chiron."

That literally took away the demigods' breaths. Chiron stared disbelievingly at his student while the Gods looked back and forth between Chiron and Percy to make sense of this.

"Percy, Chiron is already immortal. What are you saying?"

"Lord Zeus, what was the blessing given to Chiron to stay immortal?" Annabeth asked.

"Uh... He was blessed by me to stay immortal for as long as he was needed to teach, why?"

"Lord Zeus, with the monsters now completely wiped off, how true does the 'needed to teach' part hold?"

That made every eye go wide. None of them had realized this, but now with monsters gone, Chiron was just a support staff whose existence wasn't of much importance in the context that he was made immortal. Meaning, he didn't need to teach, it was optional. So the blessing would not hold true any longer.

"He'll forever remain partially immortal Annabeth, even if he loses my blessing. He has the blood of a Titan and my blessing since a very long time. He won't die unless-"

"-unless in a fight. But why let it come to that?" Annabeth said and looked at Percy to take over.

"Lord Zeus, Council, the time when we were retrieving the golden fleece, for some days Chiron had been accused and kicked out of camp. Only later did the whole Daedalus mystery unravel and Chiron was proven innocent. During that time he'd told me he may no longer be immortal since he was no longer 'required'. Fortunately, he was, and he always will be. But now that monsters are gone, what of the teacher? I don't ever wish to see him torn between life and death. If demigods who fought a few wars for you can be offered a place in the Council, surely Chiron - who taught generations of demigods how to survive and who made us all who we are today deserves full immortality more than anyone?" As Percy finished, Chiron was so touched he went and tightly hugged Percy and Annabeth. His cheeks were stained with some emotional tears as well.

Zeus looked too shocked to form words.

"Chiron, step forward!"

Once Chiron stepped forward, Zeus stood up, turned into human height and stood directly in front of Chiron.

"Chiron, old friend...you have been such an integral part of the whole Olympian setup since so long. We will not leave you out of the honours anymore. You are hereby granted full immortality. Of course, it's a long procedure, so we shall do it as soon as this meeting ends."

A lot of demigods were stunned at Zeus' selection of words, but the King of the Gods appeared to be doing a kind deed after a long while and they dared not distract him lest he changed his mind.

Once Chiron went back to his position after bowing, the gift ceremony was concluded and true to his word, Chiron entered camp half-blood the next day as a full immortal. He had tried to thank Percy and Annabeth but was told off and threatened by Annabeth to never bring it up again. Percy said they'd do it a million times over and still not match what he'd done for them. So instead he just hugged them and said how proud he felt.

Chiron: Chiron was already dabbing a few tears in his eyes during the throne room gift ceremony after Percy's words. With Percy Jackson's gift done, everyone thought it was over. Just then, Poseidon coughed then looked at Zeus with a slight nod and spoke, "Okay everyone. That concludes the demigods and the wild. But there is one person we would like to address more."

And Zeus' voice thundered, "CHIRON."

To say that Chiron was shocked would've been an understatement. He thought he played no significant role in any of the wars. It was all the demigods that led from the front all the time. And even then he felt like already he had gotten too much after earning full immortality as per Percy's wish. Even then, since he was called by Zeus he went and stood at the centre as every being in the room, even the likes of Dionysus and Ares broke into a huge round of applause and warm smiles. Yes, Ares had a warm smile. Chiron essentially teaches how to fight in wars, remember? As to Dionysis, one word - pinochle!

"My Lord." He bowed down to Zeus, who spoke, "Chiron. Tell us. What is it you want? You can have anything you desire. Since you are already immortal, you can ask for something else. Anything within our power and it shall be yours."

"I am already content with what I have Lord Zeus, what else can I need? I have everything. Besides, I already got much more than I expected, and I'm honoured." The centaur smiled.

Zeus said, "Very well. You are actually correct, you have everything. But don't say 'much more'. You have been the backbone of every fight for centuries. You neglected your parentage and trained our children to survive. Every great hero, be it Hercules, Achilles, or the heroes who got gifts today. You made them who they are. Percy's words just reminded us of how unfair we had been to you so far, and you don't deserve that by any means. For your outstanding, unmatchable contribution to every war that we fought and won, for nurturing demigods and caring for them like a father, WE, THE COUNCIL GRANT YOU A GIFT. YOU ARE HEREBY WELCOME TO MT. OLYMPUS WHENEVER YOU LIKE. YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO ENTER EVERY DOMAIN OF EVERY GOD. YOU SHALL BE TREATED WITH RESPECT ANYWHERE YOU GO, AND IF ANY GOD - MINOR OR OTHERWISE MISTREATS YOU, HE SHALL FACE MY WRATH! ALSO, ONE LAST THING. THE OFFICIAL ARCHITECT OF OLYMPUS, MISS ANNABETH CHASE, SHALL BE DESIGNING A PALACE FOR YOU ON MOUNT OLYMPUS, THAT WILL BE MADE BY MY SON HAPHAESTUS HIMSELF."

The long announcement in the thunderous voice finally ended and some held their ears as if in pain. Chiron though was now smiling through the shock. Everyone was, in fact, grinning broadly. The now camp director (Frank and Hazel preferred identifying themselves as the support staff, respecting the age-old experience that the centaur possesses.) was approached by Annabeth a few days later asking for specifications to his palace. The palace was ready in only over a month, and now Chiron has a weekly off where he lets Frank overtake his duties so he can go rest and enjoy some time in his new palace which is just beside the now forgiven Dionysis' palace. He also invites the demigods sometimes. Chiron now lives a much-relaxed life with a lot less worry about his students dying a tragic death. He's content, he's humble and he's still a father figure to the demigods. Oh, and he's awesome!

General Facts:

--> Tartarus had initially sworn an oath to not harm mortals so he could harm neither Gods nor Demigods. But somehow he did, and when Zeus questioned Styx later about this, she said "Lord Zeus, you had just destroyed my home and I was shaken. I didn't have the energy to punish a soul as powerful as Tartarus. The oaths made under my name are still valid though, and now I'm feeling more powerful than ever."

--> The cracks and gaps of the ground were fixed almost instantly with all the Gods working their powers in unison. The pit is no longer evil and is free of monsters, however, with the blast destroying many parts of the pit, the rivers now run wild and are more dangerous than ever.

--> The age-old tradition of sending demigods on quests has been stopped now. Instead, every new demigod is made to go out of camp for a few days and work in the mortal world and make ends meet with whatever job they get based on their skillset. The Gods still don't seem to keep it in their pants, so every now and then a new child of the Gods springs up. And yes it has only been one year and there already are too many of them. Boy, aren't the Gods fast...

-->With his wife Amphitrite and immortal son Triton dead, Poseidon has no new children. Instead, the sea God publicly calls Percy his favourite demigod and says he can never have a son 'half as perfect as Percy.' So why 'bother with the petty process of reproduction?', he had said, as the camp watched Percy blush a bit at the praise.

-->The mortals who were asleep woke up soon and went on about their lives, the mist turning everything into a tornado. 'The Mt. Olympus blast' as they call it now has been coined a terrorist attack and the Intelligence Agencies are trying to find evidence as to which terrorist group is involved. Whenever Hermes feels bored, he watches the speculation through a screen and entertains himself.

-->Thalia's phobia is now cured, and one of the main attractions at camp is now the flying race that Jason and Thalia have, with both of them ending it with a tie every time.

-->The sword that Zeus used to kill Tartarus has been handed over to Lady Styx away from the power hungry Olympians. Percy remembered his oath to Tartarus about the sword stated that he would not tell the Gods until one of them was dead. Now with Tartarus gone, he narrated the whole legend to the Gods.

-->Initially we had seen that before making the oath, Percy had sworn that he would kill himself and Annabeth who were arguably the most powerful demigods before handing it over to the Gods. Explaining this move, Percy had revealed that the sword, if used on demigods would not kill them. It would make them immortal and powerful with unmatchable superpowers and many things unknown. This was, however, a speculation, and the other thing that can happen is the demigods may die a painful death, so none of them are willing to test this legend.

-->After roaming in various parts of the world, the Hunters of Artemis had officially confirmed a few weeks ago that there were no traces of any kind of monsters.
