Prologue:

Percy Jackson stood stiffly next to the outcast son of Jupiter. His eyes wondered yet again over the place he used to call home.

"Percy?"

He smiled as he saw a figure clambering up Half-Blood Hill. Nico came to stand next to him. Nico Di Angelo, the only one who had not yet abandoned him after the war.

Once the battle against Gaia had finally ceased, Annabeth confessed to him that it was too painful to stay with him. Every time she saw him, the memory of Tartarus 'haunted' her. Percy didn't blame her for this though, nor did he feel any disgust towards her when she came out as lesbian and got with Piper. It was the fact that she had started to deliberately avoid him, ignore him even since Adam Colton got to camp.

Adam Colton was an unclaimed demigod, arrived about three weeks after the war ended. Percy wasn't throwing about any wild accusations, but as soon as he got to camp, one by one all of Percy's friends seemed to desert him or find a reason why they disliked him.

Clarisse and the Ares cabin had a newfound hatred for him, because he humiliated them in the training room, with his wrestling and sparring skills greatly improved after the war. He felt hurt by this because he had grown quite close with Clarisse over the second war final stand.

Travis, Conner and basically the entirety Hermes cabin had started to shun him and mock him for trying to prevent their pranks on unsuspecting cabins.

And those 'unsuspecting cabins' where indignant of Percy's help, feeling that he was treating them like weaklings. Gradually they began to shirk away from him as well.

Leo was never that fond of Percy since they had met. At that point, Leo had heard so much about Percy, he was practically worshiping the ground he walked on, and Percy, who wasn't keen on fame and stuff, sort of rejected him. Leo had never really forgotten it and seemed start to remember it quite strongly since the war.

Thalia hardly ever saw Percy, what with her being the Lieutenant of the Hunt. She was so busy that Percy hadn't actually seen her since two weeks after the war.

With Annabeth and Piper avoiding him so much, he really needed Grover to lean on, but he wasn't there either.

It wasn't that Grover disliked him; it's just that he was so wrapped up in his Lord of the Wild stuff that he failed to notice Percy's mental state deteriorating as he became more and more isolated.

Nico was there when he could be, but he too was being drawn away from Percy in the form of working in the Underworld for his dad.

Poseidon had claimed Adam as his honorary son, which Percy didn't object to as he had done some pretty cool shit on the quests that he'd been on. Adam was reasonably nice to Percy most of the time, it's just everything he did seemed unnatural, fake. With Adam to fuss over Poseidon didn't contact or talk to Percy as much. In fact neither did any of the other Gods.

Percy was slowly but surely being pushed into the background.

The final blow was when his parents died. He was distraught; the police reported that there was a nearby explosion from a gas pipe, which caused a fire that killed both Paul and Sally. But Percy knew that in his world, suspicious things like this weren't coincidences. Either a rogue monster killed them, or someone or something had been sent to kill them.

When he found out, there was no one there for Percy to lean on.

Annabeth should have helped him...but she didn't. Grover should have realised... but he didn't. Thalia should have been there...but she wasn't. Poseidon should have noticed...but he didn't. Someone should have helped him...but no one did.
