Nico
Guess who fell apart over the year?
For once, it wasn't me.
No, it was Percy.
Nobody noticed. I didn't even notice. Hell, Apollo didn't even notice.
We were hanging out, third day here for the summer, they gave up the whole shirts and whatever because of conjoined camps. So wear whatever. Right?
So first off, Percy was wearing a My Chemical Romance shirt. Which just... I've haven't listened to My Chemical Romance, but I hear they're amazing. Then skinny jeans and blue converse.
Percy Jackson. Wearing skinny jeans.
He also got his hair cut. Like Brendon Urie's hair and I swear to gods.
It was hot.
But that's the basis of what he has been wearing lately. No big deal. Nobody has remarked on it.
Well, Leo, Calypso, and Apollo got back today. We found out at lunch. They joined us at lunch. It was Percy, Grover, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Will, and then me.
Oh, yes, and one other thing.
He had Viper Bites.
Like I said, nobody asked. The three joined us, and they were welcomed back. Whatever.
Suddenly a chorus of Na Na Na 's broke out from somewhere and literally everyone that has ever been here before I was recruited bursted out singing about like drugs and eating crap and a sad man. It was confusing.
"Why just happened?" Jason was the one to ask.
"2005, Jason." Grover answers. "2005 just happened."
After lunch were all walking around together, just talking bullshit and whatever.
"Oh, Jason." Reyna had also joined us. "Remember that thing you were talking about a few years ago? When you were on the one quest and you insisted you saw a few people and like whatever it is, people called you insane about it."
"Yeah." Jason said. "What about it?"
"Maybe people here would know."
"That depends, what is it?" Percy asked as we all start to wander towards the old stream.
"Like 3 years ago, now." The son of Jupiter explained to us. "Two summers prior to the Giant War, I was on a quest in the Labyrinth to retrieve Ariadne's String, and I ran into a lot of crap then. I mean, a few gods, I ran into Minos, he nearly killed me, so on a so forth, it was insane. But flying over I caught sight of something. First I saw 3 people, teenagers, one was younger, hiding. Two girls and a guy, the guy was younger. Which got me curious and a little further was another guy, who was again, about 15. Orange shirt, black hair was all the caught for him. He was standing in front of this golden sarcophagus that had fancy etchings and drawings and writing on it, although I couldn't tell what it was, and I watched the dude open it to this guy who was about 20, young 20s in there. Blonde hair, nasty scar on his face. The guy who opened it had a sword or something in his hand, but he seemed to... Shocked maybe to use it. These things said something, a kid, maybe 12, asked why he was needed, the gut yelled No, Ethan, don't do it. Something like that, but he did anyways. And the dude in the coffin bolted up, he wasn't dead anymore. He said something, I didn't catch what, and told the dude that some dude feared him or whatever. I don't remember much after that, eventually I flew off."
I glanced over at the son of Poseidon and he froze for a split second.
"Do you guys know what that was?" Reyna asked. "Any ideas? Sound familiar. I mean, I know Percy's been here for a while."
