365 DAYS HAS PASSED SINCE THE DEATH OF LILITH JADE, and things never got better. In fact, it got even harder. Without the help of the powerful demi-god, it seemed that everything was just going to shit.

The five soon found out the Doors of Death had been opened, just before the start of Lilith's fifth year. Then when Nico went missing a few months after her death, they found out that he had been kidnapped after his journey to Tartarus.

The only reason he was there was to look for his sister, but he had told everyone else he was going to find a way to close the doors. That was just a big fat lie. During that time, he had been kidnapped and then soon enough saved by Ethan, Percy, and the others.

After Annabeth completed her quest, she and Percy had fallen to Tartarus, facing the dangers of the place. During their journey there— they were greeted with Nyx, who had let it spill that Lilith's soul was in fact— not in Tartarus.

During that time, Ethan had IM'ed Theodore and Regulus, informing the two of what happened. When he told them of their plan to close the Doors of Death, they refused. But Ethan had cut off contact before the two could find out the whereabouts of the Doors.

But somehow, the five managed to track them down— fully intending to stop them from keeping the Doors closed. But when Clytius finally appeared, they were all blinded by rage— eager for revenge.

During that time, Regulus and Theodore found themselves to be the remaining two champions of the Great Prophecy. When Clytius came for them, well— it was his death sentence. The second the five laid their eyes on him, they didn't hold back.

The remaining demigods could only watch as the five fought tooth and nail to kill the giant, and soon enough, Ethan and Nico joined in for revenge.

The Lovers Revenge.

They couldn't kill a giant without a god, no. Of course not— and with Hecate being missing, Loki came to their rescue. The god had been missing for the past year as well, and it was quite a shock for the Romans and Greeks when they found out a Norse God had some sort of relationship with Lilith.

But of course, they soon got over it when they remembered that it was Lilith. Everyone loved her.

Soon after defeating Clytius and Pasiphae, Annabeth and Percy appeared on the other side of the Doors of Death. When they revealed that Lilith was in fact, not in Tartarus, the five reluctantly agreed to close the Doors.

Three out of the twelve Giants had been defeated during the span of the year— and it took a toll on them. Of course, the first had been Orion, who was killed by Cedric and Loki, then there was Clytius, who was killed by the twelve. Polybotes by Frank, Hazel, and Arion.

During the battle against Alcyoneus, he had succeeded in bringing Gaia back by harming Percy and Annabeth enough to cause them to bleed to the ground. With the help of the three champions, Loki, Hermes, Apollo, and Ares, the eleven prophesied children escaped alive.

Ever since then, they had evacuated the rest of the demigods from camp to Safe Haven.

They were hiding.
