I was walking through Camp, trying to find Chiron. I wanted to go home, I needed a break from heroism. It's been almost two months since the end of the war. The price was high though, I lost most of the seven. Jason was alive, so was Nico, but everyone else. My Wise Girl. Every one of the seven, gone. For the first few weeks, I just grieved for them. But I knew I had to help the camp, most of the senior campers were lost in wars. So I spent the time I wasn't sulking training. Training myself and training newer campers. As I walked towards the Big House I remembered waking up to Annabeth so many years ago. Her first words being "you drool when you sleep".
I walked up the steps of the baby blue building and walked inside. Knocking on the door lightly as it was open to let the warm summer air in. I found Chiron in his wheelchair, reading the Illiad. I chuckled at that also alerting him to my presence. He looked up at me and smiled kindly, I could still see the pain in his eyes though. "Ah Percy, how are you?" He asked. He knew that after Annabeth it was hard for me. I can't say her name aloud or think too long about her or I break down. I replied to his question "I'm good Chiron but I think it's time I can take a break from everything and go see my mother, I haven't yet and she doesn't know if I'm dead or alive and while I could I'M her it's not the same" Chiron looked up at me sadly. "I will let you go but you must promise you'll be careful. You are one of the only pupils I have left of your generation and as much as it pains me to say it I don't think Annabeth wants to see you just yet my boy" That left me immobile for a second. He hadn't been able to say her name up until now.
At least not to me, and I still can't. I nodded and smiled at him "I promise Chiron I'll try to be as careful as I can" he chuckled lightly at that and responded "Well that's not too comforting. Go, you should pack what you need" So I did. I got my clothes and Anaklusmos aka riptide. I got ambrosia and nectar. I packed everything I might need visiting my mom and then went to Argus. He drove me just to the city limits and then I hailed a cab. As we drove, I remembered that first quest with Annabeth and Grover. Getting the lightning bolt and retrieving the helm of darkness. I smiled at the thought, the good thought. Others aren't as good. As the buildings sprawled across my plane of view, I thought about how long I wanted to stay. "Doing a lot of uncharacteristic thinking today aren't you Seaweed brain?" I heard her voice echo in my head. I teared up a little as the cab stopped. I paid the driver and got out. I walked towards the cemetery where her gravestone was at. I knew her body wasn't buried there, it was burned with her beautiful shroud, but it was as good as I got. As I kneel in front of her grave I put my hand on top and let go. I cried, I cried for everything I've been through, but most importantly I cry for the love of my life. That is until I felt Six people behind me. This should be interesting.
