Asteri/ Zoe POV

I'm worried about Percy. He was not the boy I used to know. Not the carefree boy that would do anything to save a friend. In the years since Chaos brought us back, I have known that something had changed. Well, of course something changed. But, Percy... well, he changed more than I thought he could ever.

When I was brought back, we were welcomed by him. Bianca and Silena tried to hug him. You see, when Chaos brought us to see him, Percy was wearing his assassin's uniform, and his hood was up. I looked around, because at that time, I didn't know it was him.  Percy held his hand up, and said, " It's nothing personal, but don't ever touch me." The two stopped, looking crestfallen. I was shocked. I looked around. Everyone had the same expression, How could he be so cold?

   After he introduced himself, Chaos led us to another room. " Your commander, formally known as Perseus Jackson, has allowed me to show you how and why he left Camp Half-Blood." Chaos waved his hand and the room darkened. A screen appeared in front of us. It showed us Mike blaming things that he didn't do. The final straw when he saw Annabit- sorry Annabeth cheating on him and not even feeling sorry. It showed Chaos asking Percy to join the Chaos Army and be his personal Assassin and Commander. He has been though soo much...

  Over the years, Percy went on many missions for Chaos, sometimes gone for a month, sometimes for a year. And when he comes back, he still needs to fulfil his position as commander. He has soo much stress on him, expectations, missions, even stopping or fighting in wars. But he never ever let anyone down. He always says it it because it is not Camp Half-blood that is why he can do so well in missions. Not facing any pressure from seeing his old 'friends'. Heck, even when he was wounded, he never let anyone else take over. 

  I always thought is was because he didn't trust to do things right, but now I realised that it was more like he didn't want us to have to weight of the world on us. The weight of making the right choices and leading whichever side we were on to victory.

  And now, coming back to this place... and this prophecy. I wonder... how he has not broke yet. I don't know if he is going to survive this...

  What if he doesn't survive?
