After the breakup it took me 2 weeks to get over it and by then Bianca had left with the hunters, I see Luke looking at Zoe with fear concealed in his eyes and try to convince him that she won't leave him but my condolences do little to calm his thudding heart. I sigh as I look out to the water, wishing I could go back to a simpler time where I was just another demi god - albeit a powerful one - and longing for the days I was treated as an equal and not a...a god.

I began to despise the turn my life took, I fought with less self preservation and the dragon simply tells me to wait it out. When the next battle comes it isn't nearly as clear cut, this battle happens in the middle of dinner when the ghosts of past come to visit, illusions of my fear, longing and hope, this is a mental battle and I do fine to block out the figures surrounding me, I do not know how else to deal with it. Gabe, Sugar, the Minotaur, Tantalus, Kronos, Prometheus, Atlas, Hyperion, Tartarus, Nyx, Achlys all surround me, trying to smother me. I don't allow it.

I retreat to my cabin quickly that night only for the figures to speak, my fears, doubts and self loathing parroted by the people I hate most in my life, I fall asleep that night with thoughts of punching something and when I wake up. The figures are gone as I awaken, my opened eyes meeting a rising sun and an endearingly warm day as everyone gets ready for activities. Though I make ready for the only place I was unwilling to go for a while.

A trip into the underworld to see my mother, along the way I see Nico snuggled up to a blonde boy who I vaguely recognize as Will Solace and I smile at the 2 who immediately pull away from each other at the sight of me "you don't have to, I wanted to say congratulations" I explain, watching a small smile work its way onto Will's lips as Nico blushes madly. I laugh all the way down half blood hill as I toss a coin into the street, repeating a greek chant for the 'chariot of damnation'.

The grey sisters stop at the gate and call me in "oh you again" the middle one says in a gruff voice as the driving sister - without the eye - asks where to and tenses up at the sound of my voice, though repeating my destination and dropping me off as quick as possible, probably not wanting to relive he whole eye out the window escapade. They drop me off at Hades' palace and whisk away just as fast as they came.

I walk toward the river Styx, watching it's power flow barely contained even by the banks of the underworld, I slowly make my way to the doors of Elysium where I assume Hades would have sorted my Mother and Paul and possibly my little sister. I make my way through the streets, searching for my mother and finally come to a house of our time with the names "Mr and Mrs Blofis on the mailbox. I knock  at the door and Paul opens, looking shocked as me sees me and beckons me inside to see my mother attending to a crib "mom" I choke out. 

My mother's eyes snap up to meet mine and she surges forward in a hug which I easily reciprocate as she sobs into my shoulder "you died?" she asks and I wildly shake my head, explaining to her that I'm now a god and how and why. She sniffles but keeps me close "I'm glad Percy, how's Annabeth?" she asks and I flinch, quickly explaining my recent love life to her. She only sighs "you always were awful with the girls" is all she says before introducing me to my younger sister "Atalanta" who giggles and snatches at my hand. I grand mother a gift I know she was having - mind reading is awesome - and age her to age 5 where she barely fits in the crib. I leave them with that gift, laughing at Paul's reaction.
