Chiron: --assume he is dead. After so long it is unlikely that our prayers have been awnsered. I have asked his best surviving friend to do the final honors.
Annabeth: He was probably the bravest friend I ever had. He....He's right there.
Camp: Heads turned, people gasped.
"Percy!" Beckendorf grinned. A bunch of other kids crowded around me and clapped me on the back. I heard a few curses from the Ares cabin. Clarisse just rolled her eyes like she couldn't belive I had the nerve to live.
Chiron: Well, I don't believe I've ever been happier to see a camper return, but you must tell me----
Annabeth: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I~ we thought you were dead, Seaweed Brain!
Percy: I'm sorry. I got lost.
Annabeth: LOST? Two weeks, Percy? Where in the world--
Chiron: Annabeth, perhaps we should discuss this somewhere more private, shall we? The rest of you, back to your normal activities.
