After the Giant War
Percy marched out of the Big House with Chiron on his heels.
"Percy! Percy, you need to calm down!"
"Calm down!? You want me to calm down?! How could I? How could I when you just sprouted the next Great Prophecy?" Percy retorted. "And what? Like ten minutes after we ended a war?"
Chiron trotted slowly over to Percy, wary of the power emanating off of him. "I know this is a shock-"
"Yeah! Just a little," he said, sarcasm dripping from his sentence. Percy glared with the strength to kill monsters. Chiron backed up a little.
Chiron's voice became calmer. "They just want to talk, my boy."
"Like Hades, I'm getting involved in another war. You know where the other ones left me? They left me alive Chiron" Percy's eyes hardened, then he quietly added, "And with everyone else dead."
"We don't know for sure she's..." Chiron attempted, but then stopped. Percy didn't comment.
Neither of them has seen Annabeth after the battle with Gaea, which has left them, and what was left of the camps to presume her dead.
"Chiron. I can't handle another loss. And with my mom and Paul...I- I just can't get involved with anything that could hurt them." Percy looked up to meet his eyes. "I'm sorry."
Chiron nodded, acknowledging the exceptionally powerful demigod and went to trot away. When he was a few steps from the Big House he turned and called, "Percy, you can't run from a prophecy."
Percy smirked, a bit of his old self showing. "I'm not running, I'm strategically stepping around."
