Percy smiled endearingly, his left arm stinging and numb but it was worth it.

His life was perfect.

A few years had passed since the war against Gaea, his relationship with Annabeth was going along perfectly. Yes they had passed a rocky area a few months ago but it was solved.

Percy smiled once again. He had a stable job, as a camp instructor and was paid accordingly.

His life was good, but it was going to get better. If only Percy knew that the fates were cruel.

Fingering the small box in his pocket nervously, Percy tries his level best to calm himself down.

"Hey Chiron, What's up? You look troubled." He said upon seeing Chiron.

Chiron frowned. "Nothing Percy, I just have something to do."

Percy nodded and ran away, But didn't hear Chiron mumble "If only you knew my boy."

He ran forward to find Annabeth so he could take her on a date where he could finally propose.

Finding her nowhere, Percy went towards the dining hall ignoring the distasteful glares that found their way towards him and strolled forward humming a tune.

Walking towards the Poseidon table, Percy noticed another kid sitting there.

He looked about 18 and had brown hair along with brown eyes.

Wondering if his dad had another demigod he made my way towards him, with the intent of introducing himself to him.

"Hi!" He exclaimed. "I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. Who are you?"

"Jake Rodgers, son of Poseidon and someone way better than you. You're the one whose supposed to have defeated the titans and giants? You look like you couldn't have defeated a baby hellhound."

Which actually was not true. Percy was tall, a little over 6 foot. He had developed muscles, like a swimmer rather than a wrestler, after fighting two wars and training daily. He easily towered over Jake and his chiseled features often lit women faces up like fire.

In summation, Percy was gorgeous.

Percy frowned wondering what the hell was up with the kid. Was he already arrogant before finding about his legacy or after? Percy shrugged.

"I am the hero of Olympus boy, and you would do well to talk with respect." Jake flinched as Percy's visible aura surrounded them in a shroud.

Jake would have done better if he had shut up but instead he said: "You would better to talk with respect to your superiors Percy because you are inferior to me."

"Really? Would you care to enlighten me in your superiority?"

The campers looked on in awe to the battle of words going on.

"I have slayed a hell hound and a cyclops." Jake spoke foolishly.

"Well, Jake, I have slayed thousands of monsters, Giants and Titans alike. You are nowhere in my league." Percy said, his tone colder than ice.

"Oh really? Then explain to me Percy O' Mighty slayer of monsters, If I am nowhere in my league, why is your girlfriend, Annabeth dating me behind your back?"

Percy made to speak something before his brain finally registered what Jake had said.

"Annabeth knows better to date someone like you." Percy all but growled out his eyes dancing in emerald fire.

At that moment Annabeth chose to enter the dining pavilion. She started as she saw Percy.

"Percy, you're back. I-I-I did not expect you to be here so early."

"Hi, Wise Girl. I was just explaining to this fool that you would never date a loser like him and behind my back too." Percy said.

"Ummm, Percy about that . . ." Annabeth said but trailed off.

At this Percy's aura disappeared and he dropped Jake, who he was holding by his collar.

"You mean . . ." Percy whispered brokenly.

"I'm sorry Percy but after all these years, I guess the spark in our relationship kind of went away."

Percy fell to his knees, tears streaming down his cheeks. "But Annabeth, why? I did everything right. I was gone for so long because I was completing a series a series of quests from your mother so I could get her permission for your hand in marriage."

Annabeth gasped. "Percy, I-I-I'm so sorry, If I knew I would never have dated Jake."

"What's done is done. I'm sorry Annabeth for anything I could have done to displease you. Goodbye." Percy said, his voice devoid of emotion while tears streamed down his cheeks.

A storm waged further in the distance. Taking out the delicate, velvety box, Percy threw it to the ground before vanishing in a swirl of mist, to where? No one knew.

It was years before they saw Percy again.
