"When I'm ready to fall

You're the one always holding me up

With love...

'cause When every time I'm slipping away from myself

You're the one who moves me like nobody else..."

~ With Love by Christina Grimmie from the album 'With Love'

( 1994 - 2016 )

"Wow, Thor, you look shaken up..." Clint said, looking at his friend. Thor was as pale as a paper, his eyes looking down towards the ground. "What's wrong?" "Nothing, my friend," Thor said, looking at Clint with no emotion. Act normal. Oh gods, the Greek Gods... How did Percy, Thalia and Nico do it?

...

"Artemis." "Yes, father?" "I send you off to Alaska to find Perseus Jackson and bring him back to where he belongs." "I will, father." "This kid is coming home, we need him."

...

Will was strumming on his guitar, the sweet sound filling up the emptiness in the night sky. The teenagers were sitting around the campfire. The stars were shining, the moon was the only witness of their moment together. "So Steven, yelling and stuff ran over to the container and just fell face flat into the concrete! So, me being the nice guy, I said, 'Need some help, boss?'" Will fell off his tree laughing, taking his guitar with him, making Nico, Thalia and Percy laugh extra loud. "That hurt guys!" His wounds hadn't fully healed yet, it was something they did not understand... But it would all be all right. "I wonder where Grover is..." Nico said. With the demigods leaving the United States, Grover had gone back to the life in the forest, wanting to be surrounded by nature and its inhabitants. "Probably talking to a tree somewhere..." Thalia said laughing. "And he was talking to a tree!" Will sang while playing a chord on the guitar. Nico grinned and helped his boyfriend up. "'Thanks."

Percy picks up one of the marshmallows and puts it on the stick which he had nearby. He puts the marshmallow in the fire and watches it melt. "I wonder if the Gods are worried about you, Perce," Thalia said. "Probably not... I have always been their pawn. Just a player in their game of drama and war." "But you are their hero." "I let my friends die, Thalia, that's not a hero..." "You saved the entire planet twice." "But I can't protect my own friends, what kind of hero is that?" "A hero who did not lose all of his friends," Will said. "We are here, Perce. We will support you in whatever you do." "We are going to help each other in this..."

...

"Will is missing, Percy is missing... What on earth are we going to do, Chiron?" Rachel asked, tears streaming down her face. Almost immediately after Will disappeared, Rachel got an IM from Chiron that she had to come back to Camp. "The Gods have sent out Artemis to look for them, Rachel... I don't think there's more they and we can do..." "There should be more... They control the goddamn planet for Zeus' sake... There should be more..." "I know, my child, I know..."

...

"I don't know what to do, Melissa," Artemis said, looking at one of the last remaining hunters after the war. The war had taken so much Zeus seemed to ignore, even though his own children had died. Killed in battle... What must the mortal parents go through when they hear that news? How do they cope? How do they breathe in the air on earth knowing their children don't? How do they keep on living when their child is no more? Artemis had felt a big hole in her heart after the passing of six hunters, she was not their parent by blood, but she was by the soul. She was a sister, a mother and a friend. "What do you mean, my Lady?" Melissa asked.

They were sitting around the campfire, the flames bouncing up and down on the breeze flowing through their hair. "Perseus took off, away from here to the Land Beyond the Gods for a reason... He wants to be left alone... Zeus only wants him here because he's afraid he might join the Titans, but everyone with a normal way of thinking knows that Perseus won't do that..." Melissa sighed. "My Lady, why don't we just act like we are searching for Perseus? We don't, but Zeus will think we do." "That's a good but very stupid idea, Melissa, sorry," Artemis said with a sad smile. "Zeus will track our every move..." "But not in Alaska, and by the way, we could also just look for Perseus, but just not take him back," Melissa said, ending with a sigh. "He can stay there, but we just know where he's at and stuff like that," Artemis said with a smile. "Good plan, Melissa."

...

Rachel looked out of the window, a cold breeze giving her goosebumps. Her breathing was quivering. Her hands were shaking. A tear streamed down her face as she looked at the sea. "Where are you, Percy? Where on earth are you?"
