-- The throne room, Mount Olympus --

We stared up at the gods, showing no emotion. After all, they were going to execute us right? Anyway, they started talking, I zoned out, my ADHD brain thinking about other things. I started listening in just as I heard Zeus say 'I deem you all guilty.' He looked to the council 'Whoever else thinks the same, raise your hands.' My father, Poseidon, Ares, Dionysus, Persephone, Zeus, Hera, Demeter, Athena and Hephaestus all raised their hands. Aphrodite, Hermes, Hestia, Artemis, Apollo kept theirs down. 'Alright now. Say goodbye demigods!' boomed Zeus, pointing his bolt. Just before he could zap us into oblivion, Aphrodite flashed infront of us, her face a mixture of shock and anger 'Zeus! These demigods are innocent! You do realize that you're sending your best warriors, and they're your nieces and nephews! You're picking off family members one by one just to satisfy your only son!' then she rounded on Poseidon 'And you Poseidon! Don't even get me started on this! You took that daughter of Athena's words seriously?! Percy had a ring, Uncle! A ring! And now that Jupiter's son has proposed, your only son is heartbroken! They were perfect for each other!' she finished, and had an aura of red rage around her. Just then they heard clapping from a corner 'Oh that was great! Now if you could just do it again and then zap her, Zeus, then the council would be better off! Those losers were behind our backs at the very start! You just took the longest time to realize it!' Annabeth said, smirking while hand in hand with Jason, the ring on her finger. Aphrodite looked at them with pure hatred 'Son of Jupiter how dare you! My daughter was infatuated with you and you left her for this puny girl!' Then she told him something that chilled even me to the bones 'You will not find happiness in anyone else. You may think that Annabeth will heal your heart, but for turning Piper away will only cause you heartbreak and you will never win her back again!' Piper stood with her mother, and a pale pink light shot from them, covering Jason, and disappearing with no trace. He looked confused, like he just woke up from a trance, then noticed they were in the throne room, and Piper was glaring coldly at him. He walked up to her to try to talk, but her mother's curse prevented any sweet words to reach her. She slapped him and punched his nose, leaving him on the floor out cold. She looked at her mother and Aphrodite nodded. Piper then took out her old dagger Katoptris 'From now and forever, I swear on the river Chaos that I will never love Jason Grace again!' she slammed it to the ground, and the force of the binding oath shook the throne room. 'That's a good girl, now go back with Hazel and Calypso.' Then she spoke in our minds ' When I tell you to use your powers, do it as quickly as you can. Its the only way to escape!' she gave us a nod and shouted 'Run! I'll meet you there!' At that moment, Percy stomped his foot, causing a massive earthquake, the Gardiners used their plant powers to hold the gods back, and I used my curse to send all the metal around the Olympians. Then we ran, like bats outta hell.

When we reached Central Park, we stopped. 'I can't believe it! Our own family was going to let their enemies kill us!' Leo said, still shocked. Calypso put a comforting hand on his shoulder and whispered caring words. Frank wrapped his arms around me, shielding me so nothing could harm me. I looked up at him, abd pecked his cheek, standing on my tip toes to reach him. He smiled 'I'll always keep you safe and I'll never leave you Hazel. I swear it on the river styx.' he whispered, and my heart warmed instantly. Then we heard a loud snap, and looked over at Aphrodite, who was walking towards us. 'You made it out! Come on now, I have a place that will keep you away from this crazy world.' she then started walking, then flashed us all out, reappearing near a looming cave. We walked in, and saw a portal of galaxies in the middle of the space. A man stepped out. Only this man had a skin tone that matched the mix of Calypso, Piper and I, warm brown eyes with a twinkle in them; almost like a star. He was wearing a suit covered in stars, and every once in a while, a comet would zoom across it. 'I am Chaos, and my wife and I have an offer for you. You may come to Void and train in the army as warriors and assassins, or you could stay here and be sent to my child's domain, Tartarus.' Percy looked around at us and we nodded. 'Very well. Step into the portal, but do not open your eyes, for you will see the true forms of my family, and they will disintegrate you. Come my daughters and your friends. We have to get you home.' he told them, then stepped through the portal. I stepped through, but had a feeling that I didn't need to close my eyes. I kept them open, and looked at my true form and Calypso and Piper just gasped. I was a tornado of gold and precious gems and metals, while Calypso's was a tornado of shimmery blue with gold and silver. Piper's was pink with streaks of gold and purple. I didn't have the chance to look at Mother and Father's, because we had already gotten there. We stepped out into the most beautiful planet ever. The sky was a deep purple, and the grass was the prettiest shade of blue. The village was settled in a valley, and the Palace was set on a mountain. Chaos took in our expressions. Something tugged at the back of my mind, and memories, so cleverly hidden from me started flooding back. I could feel power humming through my bones, and looked at Chaos. 'What's happening?' I ask, confused. 'Your primordial powers are returning, and you are gaining millenia of memories back.' he told us. I looked around at the boys and the Gardiners. They gasped when they saw me. I looked at Piper and Calypso and then at myself. We were triplets, and we looked the exact same. We all had my old frizzy hair, dark bronze skin, and ancient Greek chitons on. I looked over my shoulder and almost fainted. On my back were dragon wings, black with gold and silver crawling up the ends. Calypso had black with golden flames crawling up, and Piper had black with blue and sea-green diamonds scattered across hers. I looked at Frank, and he looked back at me. I rushed to his arms and hugged him. He stroked my wings, and they fluttered in happiness. I was so tired though! I closed my eyes and everything went black. The last thing I heard was Frank calling my name, before I drifted off into unconciousness.
