I Find Out That People Can Be Really Dramatic, We Only Died And Came Back

There it was. My old home. The place I had loved so much. The place that had held so many good memories. The place that had now been ruined for me.

They were waiting. Apparently Chiron and Grover had taken my heads up as an invitation to gather the whole camp. Down in the valley, they stared in amazement as we stepped out of the portal next to Thalia's tree.

Chiron and Grover were at the front of the crowd. They both smiled when they saw me. My hood was on, yet it had to be me since there was no one else with a hood.

"All right," Chaos gathered us in a circle. "You know the drill. Save them, have fun while you do, maybe play some pranks, humiliate people, etc. The one thing I do not want is to come back to you guys serious. Don't turn all cold and thoughtful on me." Chaos looked at us sternly, and Silena was having trouble holding back a giggle. "I have created a cabin for you. It is in the middle of the cabins. The Hunters will be coming tomorrow. You know what that means, Capture the Flag. They will still allow you to play since there are a few of you, even though you are gods. It will end up being you vs. the Camp and the Hunters. And Percy?" He looked at me. "Since you would like to stay hidden, you will be called Sotirios." Salvation, fitting. "Also, don't beat them too hard."

I grinned innocently. "No promises." Chaos winked and then vanished.

We turned back to the valley and walked down. Once we were in sight, gasps and sobs were heard. Finally Luke, Beckendorf, Silena, and Nancy broke. They each rushed towards their respective cabins. Luke, it seemed, had been forgiven by everyone. They were passed around and hugged, some of the newer Hephaestus campers almost fangirled after meeting Beckendorf.

The rest of us slowly made our way down the hill. The team left their siblings and assembled in a V formation. I was at the front, Luke at my right side, Daedalus slightly lower on my left, Zoë right, Beckendorf left, Bianca right, Silena left, and then Nancy right.

We came to a stop in front of the worn centaur. "Chiron. We have come to help you fight. I assume you have told them who we will be fighting?" Luke asked. Chiron nodded.

"Good. I will allow the few of us with family to catch up. The rest of us will see you at dinner and we will explain more at the campfire." I sent a silent invitation to Chiron and Grover before I turned on my heel and walked off, trying to avoid an uncomfortable meeting with a certain daughter of Athena.

Zoë and Bianca followed me. Nancy and Luke left with the Hermes cabin, Silena with the Aphrodite cabin, Beckendorf with the Hephaestus cabin, and Daedalus left with the Athena cabin. I had feeling he would be occupied for a while.

The three of us reached the cabins and located ours. It was pitch black and looked tiny, but we knew better. As suspected, once we stepped inside there was much more room. Each room was customized for its owner.

"All right, I know you two will want to hang out with the Hunters tomorrow so, I give you permission. You will be on our team for Capture the Flag, though."

"Of course." They chorused and exited the room, chatting about how nice it would be to see Lady Artemis and her Hunters again.

Once they were gone a knock was heard. I opened the cabin door to see Chiron and Grover. I motioned for them to come in and closed the door after them. The ceiling was tall enough for Chiron to be in his centaur form comfortably.

"Percy." Chiron smiled. Grover couldn't handle it and he attacked me.

"Perrrrcy!" He tackled me in large goat hug. "Why didn't you keep in touch? We've missed you so much!"
