A/N: go read my other story which was an alternate ending to The Tower of Nero, it's basically what happened when Percy was in a coma, in this timeline.

PERCY POV

I'll admit I was a tiny bit surprised when I was tackled by two Hunters of Artemis, but life had thrown so many surprises at me that I had learned to expect the unexpected. I still didn't expect that after facing all those monsters all it took was the hunters of Artemis hugging me to flummox me. Though I was happy about their return, the two of them dying was one of the things I regretted the most, so I felt like it was my duty to get their lives back. Zoe pulled away tears shining in her eyes, and said "We saw the whole thing happen Perseus, we owe thou a lot", I noticed that her Shakespearean English was slowly fading into modern day english. Bianca remained clinging onto my shoulder, still sobbing. For some reason Artemis' blessing hadn't held good during their time in the underworld, perhaps it was the same reason as Zoe's sudden change to the current version of english,whatever the case, they were both 17 year olds now (A/N: feel free to correct me I don't know their ages for sure, also zoe looked the same age as Percy when we saw her in ttc, I think hence she's 17 appearance wise) at least by appearance. Nico and Artemis came forward with tears in their eyes as well. Artemis was smiling with a couple of tear tracks on her face, she really looked beautiful Percy! What the Hades are you thinking?! She's a goddam maiden goddess! I saw my uncle shoot me a sly smile before coming forward to embrace Bianca along with Nico who had already made his way there and was hugging Bianca. Then I looked past the two of them to see Lee Fletcher, Beckendorf and Silena standing among all those demigods that died in one of the wars, at the back of the whole crowd stood Luke Castellan. I made my way through the crowd, issuing out a "no problem" and "I had to make things right" here and there, finally, I got to Luke and shot him a lopsided grin. He turned to me and immediately lunged at me, leaving me with no time to react.

THALIA POV

After greeting Zoe and Bianca, I looked at where Percy was standing and saw him walking towards the back of the crowd. When he made his way there, he was standing in front of Luke Castellan. I issued a gasp but Percy didn't hear it because Luke had launched himself at Percy, I tensed and got ready to help Percy, only to notice that Luke was actually hugging Percy and sobbing to him that he was sorry, and thanking him for the second chance. I smiled to myself, glad that Luke was no longer an evil person. Hermes came down and embraced Luke, they forgave each other too. It was all turning out to be perfect when Luke asked "So, Percy how's it going with Annabeth?" It was an innocent enough question, since Luke didn't know what had happened, but upon hearing the name "Annabeth" Percy's eyes grew wide and then turned golden, though they were rimmed with sea green. The whole room began to shake as was Percy for that fact. Then I saw a silver blur launch past me and toward Percy only to be stopped mid pounce. It was Artemis, who now that she had been stopped by the wall looked at Percy with a concerned expression. Then there was Luke who was standing there completely awed, but with a bit of recognition as well, after all he was possessed by Kronos, the Titan of Time. Then I saw a brilliant golden light as Percy threw all his power out. Then as if he were a human black hole he sucked it all back in and promptly collapsed. That was when another flash occured and revealed the fates. The expression on everyone's faces had the words "uh-oh" written all over them as the fates floated to the ground.Some thing was going to happen, I was sure of that.
