Percy's POV

Flashback: 100 Chaos Years Ago (10 Earth Years)
Everyone at camp is turning on me, slowly but surely. Why? It's all because of my stupid half-brother Drake A/N: Sorry to anyone who is named Drake. He thinks he is the most powerful Demi-god at camp just because he defeated a hellhound. So what? I've defeated more monsters than he could count. Well anyways, everyone believes that Drake is the Saviour of Olympus rather than me. He has started framing me for things I didn't do, but when he noticed it wasn't affecting me that much, he started taking away my friends. Starting with Nico.

Drake reminded Nico that Bianca died because of me. He said I let her die on purpose, when I really didn't. Nico's fatal flaw got the best of him and he turned on me in the end.

Next was Thalia, Drake framed me for destroying her silver bow that was a gift from Artemis and put the remains in our cabin.

Leo, Jason, and Piper turned on me when I supposedly said that they were worthless and are a disgrace to all Demi-gods.

Frank and Hazel left when I "mocked" them for being so vulnerable, brought up their darkest secrets, and called Frank a terrible praetor.

Chiron believed all the lies Drake said about me and eventually said that I was the most worthless half-blood he had ever taught.

Grover left when Drake framed me for breaking the reed pipes his father gave him, as I was the only one who knew about them.

Until it was only Annabeth left, but even she was growing distant.
I was on my way to the beach, when I saw Drake making out with some blonde. I assumed it was some Aphrodite camper until I started walking away not wanting to intrude on their privacy.

"Oh Drake you are so much better than Percy! You are everything he isn't, smart, brave, handsome, and strong!" she exclaimed.
I felt my heart shatter at the next words that Drake said.

"Yeah Annabeth, why don't you dump that lowsy half-brother of mine and go out with me instead!" Drake replied.

When he said her name I felt like a part of me died. I turned around and stormed up to my disgrace of a brother. Before I knew it, I punched him in the gut, hard.

"Percy, it's not what it looks like" Annabeth stammered.
"Save it Annabeth. Your makeout session with my brother was all I needed to know that I wasn't good enough for you" I said through clenched teeth, close to tears.
"Oh Percy, you were enough." Annabeth sobbed hysterically.
That was it I thought. I threw a box at her contained what would have been our engagement ring.

Realization dawned on Annabeth's face when she opened the box, which made her cry even harder if that was possible.

The next few minutes were a blur,as I ran to my cabin to pack what little possessions I had left grabbing a spare sword in the corner of the room. Poseidon had disowned me the day before so I had to give up Riptide. I ran out of camp, for once not looking back. As I walked over the hill, I encountered a man in all black with little white dots scattered on his cloak, he looked as if he was the stars himself! Little did I know he was Lord Chaos Creater Of The Universe.

I didn't know much about him, except the fact that he radiated a powerful, ancient aura. I knew how testy immortals were, and not wanting to add another enemy to the 'Jackson Hit-List' I bowed low.

The man just chuckled. "Perseus Jackson. I believe there's a mistake, you should not be bowing to me, I should be bowing to you!"
I was shocked when I saw the mysterious man bow to me. Well that was probably the biggest understatement of the century. Once the mystery man rose I spoke up.
