On a moonless night on a hill close to a nearby mountain range, two figures appeared in a dark flash of light. One figure, a boy, fell to his knees in a scream of pain "it burns ggaaahhh why does it burn."
The other figure placed a hand on the boys shoulder "it is alright my boy your body is just not used to the air up here." With a sigh he helped the boy up off the ground. "I am sorry I should have warned you about that but honestly I didn't realise you have been down there so long... Can you stand Percy"
As the boys pain subsided he reassured the other man "im OK I've dealt with worse than that it just surprised me and I couldn't breath."
As they stood in silence for a while the hooded man suddenly asked "what will you do now?"
Percy stood there silently staring off into nothing. When the other man asked again a little louder, Percy flinched and looked at him in surprise. " Oh um... I don't know how long has been up here?"
"About 100 years." The cloaked man replied. "But most of your friends are immortal now."
Percy got a panicked look in his eye and started to fidget nervously. Seeing this the man quickly thought up of an idea. "Percy i still owe you a favour from when you saved me so how about would you like to be my champion? With the powers you receive you could help new demigods safety."
Percy thought about it for a minute before modding his head "yes I will accept your offer Thanatos."
