***At the top is a ring similar to Annabeth's ***

   Percy Jackson was fighting against Gaia with his friends and the other Demi-gods. The Greek Gods came to help them defeat the giants. They were finally able to defeat Gaia but, the cost of victory was high. Leo died when he used his fire ability to kill Gaia. The gods gave all the campers who fought in the war, Greek and Roman, partial immortality.

***A few months later*** (Percy is 17 years old now)

Percy was at the beach with Annabeth. They were spending some time together when suddenly they heard a scream. "Ahhh!" a person yelled. Percy gave Annabeth a quick kiss and said, "I'll be right back Annabeth. Ok?" Then, he ran to Thalia's pine tree and found a boy with messy black hair and seaweed green eyes that was around his age running away from a hellhound. Percy let the boy get behind him before he quickly sent the hellhound to Tartarus. "Are you ok?" Percy asked. The boy kicked Percy down, covered himself with monster dust and took Percy's sword, Riptide. All the campers ran to the hill and saw Percy on the ground while the boy said, "I killed the monster while this boy just stood there!" Annabeth, who arrived with the other campers said, "Percy, how could you do that!" Percy said, "But, I was the one who killed the monster while this kid was hiding behind me!" Annabeth said, "Stop lying Percy! You don't always have to take the credit! And anyway he has your sword in his hands!" Suddenly, a trident appeared over the boy's head. Poseidon appeared and said, "This is my favorite son, Leo Burns!" Percy replied, "I thought I was your favorite son Dad!" Everyone ignored him and kneeled to Leo and Poseidon. Leo said, "Why aren't you kneeling!" to Percy. Percy ignored him, ran to the ocean, and dived in.

***A few hours later***

   Percy came back to camp after he calmed down from his swim in the ocean. It was dinner time and Percy ate his food at the Poseidon table with Leo Burns trying to provoke him. After Percy finished eating, he went to bed in the Poseidon cabin. For once, Percy didn't have any nightmares.

***The next day***

   Once Percy woke up the next day, he got ready for the day and went to Olympus at the Empire State Building. He got the key for the elevator and rode on it. He wanted to ask Athena for permission to marry her daughter, Annabeth. He had to go on a quest for a few months to get a golden apple from Hera's tree. Once Percy succeeded, he got the ring that he had asked Hephaestus to make beforehand. The ring had little sea green stones around a big diamond that was as blue as the sea. On the inside it said, "Seaweed Brain and Wise Girl forever."

***At Camp Half-Blood***

   After Percy gained Athena's approval to marry Annabeth, he went back to camp. When Percy went to camp, he saw lots of people cheering at the beach. When Percy got there, he saw Annabeth and Leo in the middle kissing. Percy yelled, "Annabeth what are you doing?!" Annabeth cried out,"Percy! I thought you were dead!" "Don't you think that Nico would of told you if I was dead! Now I don't think there's a need for this," Percy yelled and threw the ring at Annabeth's feet and ran to his cabin. He quickly packed all of his things up and left for his mom's apartment. Once Percy got there his mom told him to get out and not come back because she didn't want her and Paul's baby girl to get hurt. Percy said, "Fine! It's not like anyone wants me anyway!" And ran off before his mom could ask him what he was talking about.

***One year later***

Once Percy left camp, it was like a spell was lifted off the campers. Everyone found out that Leo was a son of Gaia who had come to kill Percy. Leo Burns was killed and sentenced to Tartarus forever. They started to look for Percy ever since and soon they found Percy's dead body with monster dust all over him. Everyone was in a horrible mood once they found out it was their fault their hero died. Percy's mom felt terrible that she sent her own son to his death.

Percy's POV

A year after I left Mom and Camp Half-Blood I was barely able to survive with monsters trying to kill me every few hours and demi-gods looking for me everywhere. But soon, I meet my match. Somehow, three Titans escaped and were trying to get their revenge, but I was able to kill them before a sword went through my heart and died. The Titans tried to get Percy on their side but failed. Percy died thinking, "Athena was right, my fatal flaw would one day kill me."
