Trapped In Immortality

Chapter 10 - 10 Years Later at Camp

Hey guys. I have a lot to say. Read the end author's notes for details.  Anyway, let's get into it.

"You leaving now?" he asks. I simply nod. "Alright have fun at camp. And go out. Find yourself a new girl or guy. I don't judge."

"You first old man," I retort before hugging him. "I'll see you later ok?" He nods and I wait for him to drive off before I flash to Camp Olympus.

Third POV

A bright flash at the top of Hald-Blood Hill alerts the dragon sitting on top of the Golden Fleece at the base of Thalia's tree of a new arrival. He roared loud as Percy walked up to him and patted his head. 

"Doing good boy?" Percy asked. Peleus did his own version of a nod and blew fire into the air. Percy chuckled and walked past him past the invisible border as Camp Olympus finally came into view. 

Percy passed the magical border that had been emitting from Thalia's Tree for the past few decades and his breath got caught in his throat as he looked around at Camp. His eyes gazed over to the camp area, where the cabins were for the campers. Space had been expanded over the past 10 years to include nearly every god in the Greco-Roman pantheon. Some of them were Asclepius, Kymopoleia, even Thanatos. Jason had really kept his promise to make sure that each and every god would be worshipped and honored. Along with the amphitheater, which had been turned into a Colisseum, the dining pavilion had been expanded to quadruple its original size to accommodate all the campers. Bunker 9, which had essentially been turned into a forge was also expanded with the Hephaestus kids constantly forging more and more adamantine for weapons and armor every day. He then looked over to the training field where he saw a multitude of gods helping the campers train. Athena and Bellona were teaching spear combat, Apollo and Eros were teaching archery, and Artemis was helping with dagger combat. Percy himself taught swordsmanship being the god of it, however, he didn't have a lesson that day. Percy smiled as he reminisced about his days at camp before turning his attention to New Olympus, the city that Athena and her kids had designed. He walked towards the city greeting campers and residents that he saw along the way. He nodded at Apollo and kept on moving towards the city. He stopped at the Pomeranian Line and gazed at the wall behind it. The wall itself stretched around the city before getting cut off by the Long Island Sound where courtesy of Hephaestus, Leo, and the other Hephaestus kids a fleet of Argo II's stood.  made purely from adamantine, which Bunker 9 had been creating at an excessive rate for the past 10 years. 20 Argo II's had stood in the harbor of New Olympus, gleaming an ethereal white. Two full-body statues of Terminus stood on either side of the gatehouse. 

"Good morning Lord Persues. Weapons on the tray please," Terminus requested oddly cheerfully.  

Percy put his necklace on the tray and responded" Morning Terminus. You're oddly happy today. What's the occasion? And please. I've told you before, just call me Percy. I'm no Zeus, demanding that everyone kneel in the presence of my greatness." 

Terminus chuckled "That's very true Percy. And I have 2 full statues, along with a cabin, and temple to my name. Pontifex Maximus did a good job of keeping his promise, and I'm happy to finally get some offerings."

Percy smiled up at the 10 feet tall statue and nodded. "That's fair. Though I'll never understand the obsession you old gods have with burnt food. Made me nearly gag the first time I smelt it. Now the only person who sacrifices some to me is Leo, as a joke," he chuckled.
