The rise of the Sky

Emergency council and The missing man

Percy POV
As soon as i flew above CHB , i knew something was wrong , because the infirmary seemed far too crowded for my liking and some campers were taking off their armours. I left Blackjack at the stables and found Chiron at The Big house his expression looking grim. This does not look good . Slightly concerned for him i asked "Chiron, did something bad happen while i was gone, the infirmary is overloaded with campers , and some of them seem to be putting off their armours ?". His head turned so sharply i thought was gonna snap. "Per-Percy , when did you come here ?" Chiron asked fear clearly etched in his face. "Just now, why do you ask?". He took a deep breath and answered "There was an attack at the camp by around 500 monsters earlier today". My jaw dropped , an attack ?. Shit shit shit, this cannot be good , an attack at the same time while i was gone , no no no. "Whattt? About 100 kmonsters attacked me too, earlier this morning. Also how many did we lose ? Do you think another war is coming ? Where is Annabeth?"I let out a barrage of questions , but at the last one , his face fell , he looked down guiltily "I am afraid she could not survive the attack , she went down tackling The Nemean lion and The Minotaur."
3rd person POV
Percy took a step back in shock , his expression showed pain, anger, sadness , guilt etc. Hot tears began streaming down his cheeks , his hands began trembling automatically, as if longing to just once more grasp her small hands in his. "I-I ne-need some time a-alone." Chiron nodded forcefully , blinking his own tears back , seeing the condition of his favourite student. "Percy, we are all here , dont forget that okay ? And she is immortal , she will come back ok ?". He nodded and ran off into his cabin , slammed the door shut and began sobbing uncontrollably  on the bed. He tried consoling himself. 'She deserved it , finally rest after 2 wars'. Everything here reminds memories of their time spent together . The canoe lake where they shared their first underwater kiss, the sleepless nights spent at the beach in each other's embrace , early morning spars in the arena, everything reminded him of Annabeth. After a while , he got up and packed his duffel bag with necessary supplies like nectar , ambrosia , mortal money , some first aid supplies , food , a pair of clothes etc . With his duffel bag set , he quickly sneaked out of his cabin as soon as the sun set . He patted Peleus's back as if telling we will meet again ,but not in the near future. With  that he set out , with tear stained cheeks , for a new journey, a new adventure in his life.

Mt Olympus (few hours after Percy left)
3rd person POV
As soon as every camper from both the camps , the hunters , and the Amazons arrived, everyone was shocked , mainly because Zeus was nowhere to be found and Hera's throne had shifted , and Poseidon and Hestia were in King and Queen's place . "As you can see there have been a few important changes today , which is what  this meeting is about." Poseidon said. Jason looked    confused "What do you mean , and where is my father ?". Poseidon smiled nervously , "Hera if you will , please transfer the memory of the encounter". Hera nodded and shot a beam at them. Several gasps were heard from the crowd. Reyna being praetor asked "What do we do now , Milord". "I have a few proposals which i would like to share with the council if Hestia would approve". Hestia nodded and motioned him to continue "Firstly , we could unite CJ and CHB and the Amazons on CHB , that way we can have more numbers in one place ." Everyone looked thoughtful until Athena said "that is actually a good idea , i did not expect that from you". Poseidon rolled his eyes and continued " Secondly , we could use special training for air borne attacks." Chiron immediately replied "i will ensure that milord". "Now for the final decision , I revoke the ancient laws placed by Zeus, so that not only can gods interact with their children , they can train with them too". Several shocked gasps were heard from the demigods, all the Olympians had happy expressions on their face . "Speaking of which , where is my son Chiron, he does not seem to be here , is he okay ?". Poseidon asked , worry etched in his voice . "Milord he has been in his cabin ever since we have informed him of Annabeth's......sudden demise". Poseidon nodded sadly, while exchanging glances with Athena, making sure she was okay. "Also , i would suggest that we release the peaceful titans to help us in this war , because they probably know much more about his army than us". Some looked wary of the suggestion , but eventually agreed from the constant pestering by the 5 siblings . In a flash Hermes appeared along with the peaceful Titans which included Calypso , Rhea , Leto to name a few . After briefing them on the recent events, the Titans eventually agreed , probably due to the pestering of  Rhea that Ouranos is a real threat.
3rd person POV
After Percy left CHB , he went to his mother's apartment to inform her of the recent turn of events , and his departure from CHB. With shaking hands he knocked the door. The door immediately opened to reveal his mother ,Sally Jackson. As soon as she saw her son's tear stricken face , she knew something was wrong.She immediately hugged him tightly. After releasing him from a bone crushing hug that could rival Tyson's she invited him to the house and asked "What happened , why are you crying ?" After explaining the recent events of CHB , he told "Mom , i am going to the north for some time, i need some time alone to get over Annabeth's death, and probably go monster hunting , i may not come home for awhile". Sally nodded "That's fine , but promise me one thing , you will come back home , ok ?" .Percy smiled forcefully "I promise". With that he began his journey towards Alaska , trying to find some solace for the first time in his life.

It had been about 2 weeks since he had visited his mother's house . He had also noticed that monster attacks were becoming more frequent , whereas that shouldn't be the case since the Giant War recently ended. Currently, he was camped in a slightly dense forest nearby Whitemud creek in Edmonton. It had only been 2 weeks yet he was tired because of constant monster attacks . As for his emotional state, he was no better than he was before when he heard the heartbreaking news of Annabeth's sudden demise. It was as if he had become emotionless , the only emotions he felt were pain , anguish , anger ,sadness and guilt.

Guilt for not being there for her .

Pain because she was the only one who could keep his nightmares from Tartarus at bay , without her, they have been haunting him ever since that fateful day.

Anger at the Fates , cause its not fair for a person to survive 2 wars, Tartarus and die in a stupid monster attack . He triedpp to console himself by the fact that she was immortal , hence she would come back, but reformation takes thousands of years. He would go insane without her till then.

3rd person POV
It had been 2 weeks since that fateful day when Percy had mysteriously disappeared from CHB. Many suspected that he had been kidnapped by Ouranos's forces , but all those theories were dismissed when his travel bag , and other essential items were found missing from his cabin .

As soon as Poseidon had found that his son had mysteriously disappeared on a voyage (apparently) , he had immediately ordered Artemis and her hunters to lookout for him. The thing that scares him shitless is that his son doesn't even know that there is going to be another war . And he knew that Percy was somewhat important in this war too as Ouranos himself had specially sent a horde of monsters after him .

On top of that , Athena had been a mess ever since she heard the news about her favourite daughter's death. She had not come out of her palace for 2 weeks , and had found solace in her library . Her only conversations were with Poseidon , which usually ended up with her crying into sleep . The war preparations were not going well as the Goddess of Wisdom and Strategy herself was not on the forefront.

3rd person POV
Percy had just entered through the borders of Alaska and by Gods of Olympus was his breath taken away . The landscape that stretched in front of him was beyond diverse . Vast stretches of artic forests covered the path ahead of him . On the other side , a chain of high and mighty mountains stood high.

He made his camp in close proximity to both the woods and a water reservoir to help him in time of need. He was just going to retire for the day , when a bright flash alerted him of the presence of a god and interrupted his much needed rest . He quickly uncapped riptide in case of any hostilities and went out of his tent  to find out the god's identity. As soon as he saw the god , he quickly dropped to bow down to the goddess.

Standing there , twirling around with curls of her hair , with an innocent expression , was the Goddess of Snow herself , Khione.
