AMARA WAITED AT The Hermes Cabin with Luke for Annabeth and Percy. When Percy and Annabeth showed up, Amara hugged Percy. Percy hugged her back with a soft smile.

Amara pulled away, kissing his forehead "Congrats."

Percy blushed, looking down at his feet "Th-thanks, Amara.."

Amara stood next to Luke, lacing their pinkies together. Luke smiled down at her before turning to Percy.

"Clarisse stole the master bolt." Percy spoke in confusion.

Amara sighed, biting her lip "It's complicated."

"How is it complicated?" Percy threw his hands in her direction.

"Everyone was ready to join the war here. To start fighting each other. An accusation against Clarisse.." Luke started but got cut off by Annabeth.

"Without proof." Annabeth looked over to Luke and Amara.

"Exactly." Amara nodded, biting her lip.

"Without proof, it would have lit this whole place on fire. But now you're back. You've stopped the war. You've saved the world. Now, it's safe to tell Chiron and finish cleaning up the mess. I told him we needed to meet away from the celebration so we can talk without any of Clarisse's supporters noticing." Luke looked between Amara and Annabeth.

"I'll keep an eye on Clarisse while you're gone. Make sure she isn't going anywhere." Annabeth spoke up.

"I'll be there with Annabeth and catch up with you and Percy after it's clear." Amara bit her lip, looking up at Luke.

Luke placed his hand on the small of Amara's back, rubbing small circles on her skin "Great. And we'll meet back here. Ready?"

Percy nodded, exiting the Hermes Cabin. Amara grabbed Luke's wrist, pecking his lips. Luke pecked back, stroking her hair.

"I love you." Amara whispered, looking up at him.

Luke planted a kiss on her hair "I love you, too, princess."

Amara cleared her throat, letting Luke leave with Percy. What was she gonna do?
