The meeting was adjourned and we were sent back to our camps. The assassins of Chaos ordered a meeting for all demigods, Greek and Roman, as soon as we arrive. I don't entirely trust them right now. They're all concealing their identities, hidden by their hoods. Half of their faces are masked by a shadow leaving their noses and mouths as our only clue to how they look.

The demigods started departing aside from the hunters of Artemis, which is led by Thalia. They've been gaining a lot of recruits lately and their numbers have tripled, ever since the last war.

After Chaos disappeared into thin air, along with his assassins, the gods left to do their own business. I haven't talked to my father about this though. I believe he has a say in all of this.

I shadow travelled in front of the Big House which is now modified. It is now probably ten times its ordinary size with a great hall to accommodate a large meeting.

Since Hecate managed to put both camps near each other, a lot of things were altered. The dining pavilion was expanded so both Roman and Greek demigods can eat together. We still train and sleep in our respective camps but we have our war games together.

As I entered the great hall, I sat at the front and waited for the others to arrive, letting my thoughts to linger on what has happened during the conference a while ago.

-time lapse-

(A/N: Let's just pretend that the great hall looks like the one in Harry Potter. Except the ceiling isn't that high. Since the big house has been revised, just imagine it as a simple mansion)

The great hall is almost filled with demigods, which is really rare since we barely use it. Will sat beside me along with Jason, Piper, Frank and Hazel. Sitting across me is Leo, Calypso, Clarisse and Malcolm.

Yes, I might be angry at them for their reluctance in defending Percy back then but I knew better than to hold a grudge seeing as it is my fatal flaw. They were really sorry and disappointed at themselves though. They still are.

I couldn't help but see the way their eyes cast downwards whenever they were reminded by Percy. It's something they couldn't simply erase in their past.

On the other side of the room was the hunters of Artemis, the Amazons, and Reyna with a few Romans.

I saw Thalia chatting with Chiron at the front, with Annabeth and Lupa waiting patiently beside them. It's been a while since I last met Thalia and she doesn't really look well to me right now.

She looks a little sullen and down. The dark circles under her eyes tells me that she hasn't been sleeping well these past few days. Although her tired expression doesn't ruin her strong facade.

Annabeth, on the other hand, had been a little distant and quite. I haven't had a single conversation with her ever since the incident. She seems to be coping since she started dating other campers. I don't exactly care.
