Third Person POV:

Back at Camp Half-Blood, a war raged on. Blood coated every warrior's hands, hatred shrouded every warrior's mind. Landing in the midst of the war, the demigods immediately fell into a soldier's mindset.

"WHERE'S ARCTERA?" Annabeth shouted, swinging a dagger at a chimera. Her figure looked almost identical to Arctera's, a painful reminder of her loss. Annabeth missed her sister's cheerful spirit, her humor, her quick wit. Camp was quite dull without Arctera.

"I DUNNO, WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME?" Percy hollered, locked in combat with the minotaur.

Annabeth sighed, "I'M NOT ASKING YOUR DULL SEAWEED BRAIN! ARCTEN, ANSWER ME!"

Arcten looked away, grief clouding his eyes.

"I SAID!" Annabeth yelled, "ANSWER ME, WHERE IS ARCTERA!"

Arcten murmured something indistinguishable.

"FIGHT FIRST, TALK LATER! MEANWHILE, WE FOUND THE ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEMS! TRY TO PENETRATE THEIR RANKS, SWEEP THEM INTO THE CHAOS THEY BROUGHT!" Cleo commanded, trying hard to keep her sadness out of her voice. Annabeth would know something happened to Arctera had Cleo not controlled her tone, the demigods needed to pay their full attention to fighting.

A smile tugged at Annabeth's lips, "HOW HAVE I NOT THOUGHT OF THAT?"

Percy tried to, badly, mimic Cleo's voice, "FIGHT FIRST, TALK LATER,"

"SHUT IT, SEAWEED BRAIN!" Annabeth shouted, stabbing the chimera she was fighting.

"YOU FIRST!" Percy smiled. Annabeth, for the first time, didn't say anything back. Instead, she threw her dagger, guided by Athena, through the ranks. Striking Kronos in the heart.

"WHAT! HOW?" Kronos stumbled back. He stared at his chest, where the dagger was embedding up to its hilt. Kronos fell, dazed, landing in the great hearth.

"We did it!" Percy said, breathing heavily, "WE WON!!!!!"

The demigods fell into a group hug, laughing and crying tears of joy. Cleo looked towards the stars, searching for a hint of her friend's presence.

"Did you hear that, Arctera? We won! Thank you," Cleo whispered, touching the pendant Arctera gave her as a gift before her duel with Odysseus.
