After the second war of the Greeks and Romans, fighting together against the Giants and Gaea, Percy is left with a terrible life after that. Annabeth had left San Francisco and moved to Italy with her fa...

Percy POV: After finishing our meal, I read my watch, and it read 6:32 P.M. I got up, and said "alright guys, I'm gonna head to bed. See you in the morning". And I walked down the hall, until Annabeth came walking down the hall with me. "Hold on there Percy. Did you forget to give me a kiss tonight, or are you being a Kelp Head again"? I looked back and managed a small chuckle. I totally forgot how much Annabeth liked me, that she would give me a kiss goodnight like how my mom did when I was a kid, and how Annabeth gives me these nicknames (but I won't complain). "Yeah I guess I did forget" I replied, and gave Annabeth a warm goodnight kiss, as I felt her lips were firm, gentle, and welcoming. I totally missed this feeling from Annabeth. She pulled away after a long kiss. "Either that or you're still being a Seaweed Brain" she said. I managed a slight smile and replied "yeah, I guess I am". And we made one more kiss goodnight, and we pulled away. "Well goodnight Percy". "Goodnight to you too Annabeth". And she walked down the hall into her own room. I entered my room, closing it and locking it. I usually am not someone who locks a door before they sleep, but I really want to be sure no one sneaked into my room and tried to look around in my private stuff. So I threw aside my shirt and jeans, leaving me in my boxer briefs. Then I grabbed a white tank top shirt and a plaid PJ's, looking like a guy who's just slacked around in his house all day. But I just wanted to get some shuteye, and before I went to sleep in my bed, I looked over on my dresser mirror, where a picture of me, my mom, and Paul sat on the couch during Christmas Eve. That made me remember of why I joined the brotherhood, to kill the Templars responsible for Paul's Murder. And I realized of how much I missed him as he respected me like I was his real birth son, rather than my first Step-Father. "What I'm doing is for you Paul" I whispered, "I hope you understand that". And I felt myself dazing asleep a few minutes later, and I fell asleep. *Dream* I stood in the center of what looked like an underground cavern, the ceiling was as black as obsidian, chunks of the stone was laid broken amongst the floor. But however, the cavern seem to be encasing a giant temple, where the walls were grey and a strange cyan glow was between the strange grooves of the wall, which were somewhat ancient, yet modernized. And down the corridor of the hall, there was a bridge extending out towards a strange looking device, which looked like a globe on a stand, but it gave no glowing light like the walls. I walked towards it, and the more I got close to it, the more it gave off a strange aura, like a primordial god like Gaea. But next to the strange globe, laid a body of an teenage man, short black hair, his eyes closed, and his upper lip was scarred like Jason's. He wore a white hoodie with red lining, a black t-shirt with a tribal-like symbol of an eagle, and jeans, red belt, and converse with a strap on backpack around his body. I remembered how Shaun Hastings had mentioned to me about this guy, who wore clothes like these, same kind of facial features. And I realized that this was one of the most important Assassins of the century I've heard of; Desmond Miles. His right arm was badly burnt like he'd dipped his hand in burning fire. "Glad I'm able to feel somehow alive again" I heard a voice behind me. I turned, holding my hand around Riptide, which I realized was not in my pocket, and as I looked at the figure standing before me, it was Desmond Miles himself. "Whoa, easy there kid, I'm not here to hurt you". I wasn't trusting this guy easily. "What makes me think you're really Desmond? You're dead right here", pointing towards his corpse. He scoffed, "I know it sounds weird Percy but-". "HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME"? I yelled. He raised his arms in surrender, and said "easy kid, come on, it's like you're talking into a mirror". I raised a brow. "What's that supposed to mean"? "It means that I'm partly you" he replied. I got confused, as my expression changed from angry, to confused, to weirded out. "Wha-... h-how..."? "Let me explain it to you Percy. You obviously know who I am. And while I was dead, I practically figured out about that when the Assassin's figured out about the 'First Civilization' people, I realized that the gods of Olympus, both Greek and Roman, were real, even demigods like you. But when I died, as you can see by my dead corpse", he pointed towards his body. "I killed myself to try and save the world from a catastrophe involving the sun, but Minerva... She said if I did so, I'd release Juno's wrath-". "Wait!?! Juno?" I interrupted. "Why would Juno have a part of being evil? Of course she sent cows to humiliate and threaten my girlfriend, and sent me to the Wolf House, erasing me and Jason's minds, but I don't see how she's THAT evil". "I didn't know either. But when I touched that pedestal, which Minerva told me not to do. I saw the real truth that the Greek and Roman gods, monsters, and demigods were real, but I also figured out that when I did that, I released the Roman counterparts of the gods and demigods as well. But it also caused the release of something way worse... Like I awakened something from the earth". It sounded a bit hard, and weird to concentrate (stupid ADHD), but I remembered what happened in 2012. After the second Titan war, and before the second Giant war. "Gaea" I answered. "You awakened Gaea's conscious. And caused the Doors of Death to open". Desmond nodded. "I guess even when Hippies try to save the planet, it can kill you anyways, eh" he said. "But when Minerva warned me not to touch that pedestal, I saw that Gaea was impersonating herself as Juno, and to restart the earth she used me to touch that pedestal. And it actually prevented the sun to burn the world, but I couldn't prevent her from coming back-". "And that's why Hera brought the seven together" I said cutting him off. He nodded, and said "I never really knew that demigods, gods, and monsters really existed. Which is why I'm here to tell you..." We started to look around the dream and it began to black out. "Listen, I don't have much choice time! Just hear me out" he continued. "The blood of Desmond Miles, is in you Percy Jackson. And if you ever see my dad..." The dream almost faded away, "tell him that I love him". The dream faded. I woke up, freaked out of my mind. And I thought if that was really a dream. If not, what did he mean that 'the blood of Desmond Miles is in you'. What did that mean?
