(A/N) I am so sorry it took so long! You know when you get an idea for another story, and you immediately have to act upon it? Well, that happened to me. By the way, in case you're wondering why Percy is always getting injured, its because I'm morbid. Have a nice day!

Disclaimer; I don't own anything accept Adriane, Poppy, Brutus (urgh), Leah and Penny. So yeah, Rick Riordan owns the rest.

Percy's P.O.V

After everyone had gotten over the shock of me being associated with Gaea, I decided that I needed to clear my head. I walked into the woods, and without realising what I was doing, I realised that I had come to the place where I was attacked by the Titans.

I stumbled, and my breath caught in my throat as I looked at the scene. The whole clearing looked exactly as it did all those years ago, except for one thing. There were four graves in the centre. I slowly walked up to them, and tears gathered in my eyes as I read the plaques.

Perseus Jackson, Son of Poseidon, Slayer of Medusa and the Minotaur twice, Killer of the Nemean Lion, Rescuer of Zeus' Master Bolt and Hades' Helm, Leader of Armies, bearer of Achilles curse, Survivor of Tartarus, Defeater of Kronos, Bane of Gaea, One of the Seven, Friend of the Gods,
Hero and Saviour of Olympus.

We all regret and remorse for what we did to him. We will always be grateful, and never forget.

Sally Jackson, Mother of Perseus Jackson, Love of Poseidon, Wife, Mother and Friend.

May your soul be at peace.

Paul Blofis, Husband to Sally Jackson, Loving Father, and best of Friends.

R.I.P

Penny Jackson-Blofis, Daughter of Sally and Paul, Sister and Hope.

Taken from us too soon.

I stared at the graves in shock, and fell to my knees. This is my family, I thought.

I don't know how long I sat there for, when someone laid a hand on my shoulder, making me jump.

"Any man who cries for the loss of a loved one shows his true nature" Artemis said gently. I smiled at her, and went to rise, but she stopped me, and sat down.

I didn't realise that I'd been crying until I raised a hand to my face. Sure enough, there were damp trails down my cheeks. I furiously wiped them away, and looked at Artemis.

"Are you alright, my lady?" I said, and she blushed crimson.

"I should be the one asking you that, Perseus." She replied, and it was my turn to blush.

"Percy's fine"

"Then you must stop with the titles." She deadpanned. I smiled a small grin, and nodded my head.

"Thank you, Percy" she whispered.

"What for m- Artemis" Percy caught himself before he said my lady.

"For going with Order instead of me. For saving me and my Hunters." She said quietly.

"Any time. As long as you aren't hurt." I said, and she looked at me in shock.

"Why? Why would you protect me?"

"Why not? Before I died" I started, but she flinched "You were one of the few goddesses who hadn't tried to kill me, and besides, I care about you." I reason and she smiled a beautiful smile. Her silvery eyes swirled and glowed, making her look ethereal.

"Anyway, it was hard enough getting you back from Atlas, I'm not letting all that hard work go to waste!" I grinned, and she punched me playfully on the arm.
