3rd POV

Camp Half-Blood

Everyone was awaiting for Percy to return. They were all nervous and expecting failure. They didn't know what to expect really, but they had a bad feeling. The feel of dread was over everyone; no one knew what was coming. Obviously, they knew a battle was upcoming. Too much time had passed since the enemy revealed himself. Just when and where is the only question that everyone had running through their minds. When they all were starting to lose hope after a couple of hours, there was a bright flash that filled the area. Everyone turned their head away from the source.

"Hey guys, look who I found," Percy greeted all the people in the amphitheater.

Everyone just watched on in awe, recognizing some of the people accompanying Percy. Then, you heard Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, Hera, and Zeus gasp.

"Father?" Hades questioned as they all took a tentative step forward.

"Son, how are you?" Kronos asked with a slight smile that could be mistaken for a sneer.

"I- I-..." Hades stammered as he tried to find words to greet his father.

Then there was a blur, and six gods were hugging their father tightly in their seven year old forms. Kronos returned the hug, hesitantly at first.

"I'm so so sorry. I..." Kronos choked up.

"Shhhhhh, it's okay Dad, we forgive you," Hestia told him softly.

"Thank you... thank you so much. You don't know how much just this moment has made me realize what an awful father I was to you six. I am so sorry. I don't deserve your forgiveness," Kronos responded solemnly. He looked away from his hopeful and teary eyed children and started to back away.

Then, Poseidon walked towards his father, "Father, you may think you don't deserve our forgiveness, but that is our judgement to make. That is decided by us... not you. Please, I... we just want our father back. The one who we remember as, at least, semi caring. Don't run away now. Help us fight this monster and be reunited with me and my siblings again. I beg of you... please don't leave us again."

"Okay my child. I will stay, for you and to help fight in this war. Perseus here asked me for mine and the Titan's help, and that is what he shall receive. Now, let's go hear what Perseus has to say. I think it is quite obvious he has a plan," Kronos finished as he looked towards me.

"You are quite right Kronos. My plan for right now is to be prepared. A battle to test our strength is undoubtedly coming soon. How soon, I do not know. I don't know what will happen during this fight, yet I know that all of you will fight bravely, courageously, and like the true heroes you are. I don't want anyone to doubt themselves in mid battle. I wish I got to train you more before this time. That doesn't matter now though. What matters is the fact that we fight together, no matter what. No one leaves anyone else behind. Watch each other's back. Now, get ready for war!"

At the sound of the battle cry emitting from the people listening to me, a conch shell was heard throughout the entire camp. The battle had begun!

(A/N This is a really short chapter, but I just wanted to update so that's why it is so short. I'm swamped with projects and studying for midterm finals coming up soon so I won't be able to write as much. The chapters will come out once a week now. Probably every Wednesday, Thursday at the latest. It will probably start back up again twice a week near the end of December. I'm sorry for this, but I don't have much to work on this, but I try to.

Now on to more important matters... READ THIS:

I am thinking of getting ready for my next fanfiction. I had two ideas, one extremely common and one not so much. I would like you to vote on the one sounds the most interesting to you. This poll will end at the end of the year and whichever has the most votes is the fanfiction I will write. Now... the choices:

-The gods and demigods reading a percy jackson fanfiction or the books. Whichever you want. If this one wins, I will have a second poll on which one you would like. If the fanfiction wins I will choose some of my favorites and you can vote on those. The pairing in the fanfic will depend on the fanfic or if it's the books.

-An AU where Percy is a clear sighted mortal. The pairing will be put up for a vote. You guys would get to decide who he falls for.

Again guys, I'm sorry half of this chapter was an A/N, but I just wanted to get some content out there. Anyways guys... see ya!)
