Last night we all made the decision to reveal Festus at breakfast, and well that's where we are. Any minutes now Piper will fly over us with Festus and announce that Leo is alive. I wait patient but tense. What will everyone think? How will they take it? I bite my thumb, deep on thought.

"Hey, what's up?" I look up to see a worried Percy. His hair is still a mess and he's wearing a finding Dory sweatshirt with black cargo shorts.

My eyes widen and I look away. "Hmm? Nothing, don't go around assuming things!" I cross my arms and turn away.

Percy raises his hand defensively. "You just look really worried... Did something happen? Was it your dad again?" His voice whispering the last part.

"No! Percy, it's just-" I'm cut off by everyone staring at Piper in awe as she descends from the sky upon Festus. Percy quickly turns around following my gaze. "What?!" He exclaims under breath. Together, we run to Piper.

"How?! Festus blew up along with Leo, I thought?" Frank states with a confused look. "What's going on?" He turns to Piper.

"Ahem! Everyone listen up! Leo is... well, he's alive!" The whole camp began cheering chaotically. Shouts ringing all around me. Screams of joy and laughter.

"Wait! How can he be alive? He's not here! All we have for proof is some mechanical dragon!" Drew says stepping next to Piper. I step toward her.

"At least hear her out, Drew. Let her finish before you barge in assuming things." My glare sharpening with every second. She slowly falls back into the group of surrounding campers. "There's a chance that our friend... that Leo, is alive! Now, won't you accept that? I'm going to take every chance I can if my friend is out there, if his heart still beating..." Hazel nods to me. "Piper..." I gesture for her to finish.

"Right! Leo came to camp last night. He told me to tell all of you, he is well. He used the blast as a cheat to death to find his love again. Calypso." I watch as Percy leans in hearing Calypso's name. "They are off on a vacation of sorts..." Piper's head falls as everyone bursts out in an outrage. "I know how you must all feel. Your friend and comrade is alive and doesn't even have the decency to come and tell you all for himself. But one day soon he will be here!"

"We'll throw him the biggest 'Glad you're not dead!' party ever! Who's with me?!" Will Solace shouts. "YEAH!" All of camp exclaims. "Alright! Let's get planning!" Will waves over everyone to the cabins. Everyone but Hazel, Frank, Jason, Piper, Percy, and myself that is.

"I'm just going to put it out here and be honest. Annabeth and I knew already..." Hazel says shyly.

"You what?!" Jason and Percy say in unison. I nod and shrug. "So wait, we were left out all night?" Jason asks Percy. "Dude, we totally were! I'm hurt!" Percy says dramatically.

I smirk. "Oh whatever seaweed brain!" I run my fingers through his hair and kiss him.

"Uh... We're still here, you know?" Frank asks me. My face grows hot with embarrassment. "Well, I for one, think it's cute!" Piper replies. "My OTP!" Jason says snapping a picture.

"Jason! Delete that right now!" I demand. "Over my dead body!" Jason runs off. I hear everyone burst into laughter as I run after him. I'm so Glad everyone is truly happy. It's been awhile since that day... the final battle, for hopefully a while!
