°°°°Annabeth°°°°
I couldn't believe it. I just slashed through the iris message after witnessing Percy about to kiss another female, one that was wearing silver. I had to tell lady artemis one of her huntresses were breaking their oaths the next time they come to camp. I couldn't believe he lied to me, he told me he was going on a quest. I headed to the woods, finding a small clearing and started crying. I sat there for a while before I heard rustling and a camper came to get me. But, as he untangled himself from branches and stood in front of me, I felt happier.
"Chiron needs you, something about the construction on Olympus." he told me before actually looking at me. "What's wrong? " he asked concern layering his voice.
"I just caught Percy about to kiss another girl and hes suppose to be on a quest." I sobbed. The camper sat down next to me and rubbed my back.
"Forget about him, move on, and live your life." he told me.
I chuckled lightly,"your not used comforting people are you?" I asked.
"You caught me, Im guilty as charged."he told me, standing up and holding a hand out to help me.
-------3 days------
°°°°°°°Percy°°°°°°°°°°
We all laughed and wrestled for awhile until artemis came over and told us it was time for bed. We all groaned.
"I dont wanna hear it, we will be moving camp tomorrow and locating a group of monsters." she told us before heading off to her own tent, leaving us to do the same. As I walked to my tent, I thought about iris messaging Annabeth, something I haven't done in a week. I decided my mind and grabbed a drachma from my belongings and found a secluded place away from camp and formed some mist. I threw in the coin, saying what needed to be said, and was meet with the sight of Annabeth crying and a guy comforting her, I was worried as I called her name. "Annabeth? Are you alright?" as I asked her.
Both heads quickly snapped up at my voice.
"What do you want?" she asked still sobbing.
"I want to know what's wrong!" I told her.
"We know you've been lying to her, so cut the act!" the guy said.
I looked at them confused.
"What do you mean? What have I lied about?" I looked between them.
"About being on a quest! I saw you Percy! You were about to kiss a hunter, and for that, Im breaking up with you and telling lady artemis now about the pig that is near her camp!"Annabeth shouted and before I could reply she threw a handful of rocks through the call. I quickly ran to camp, to warn artemis it wasnt true.
I was to late, she was already outside my tent raging. She believed the lie, but, what was I to expect, she was temperamental and Im a guy, I should have known this wouldn't work. So, I accepted my fate and walked into camp, and as she turned on me, I simply nodded.
"I know artemis, and one day I hope you'll realise it wasnt true. Ill leave, and ill never come back, you won't see me again." I told her, quickly packing my stuff as the hunters look at me in sadness, they knew I never did.
As I walked away I decided, never again, I wouldn't be betrayed again, so, I headed off to the one place I knew they could never reach me, Alaska.

°°°°°°Artemis°°°°°
I couldn't understand why he would do that. I thought he was the only decent male, i thought he could be the one man that I could trust enough to become one with the hunt, but no, he betrayed me. He kissed one of my hunters... HE KISSED A HUNTER! but, I would have known if a hunter broke their oath, i would have felt it, and, my hunters, they were all sad when he lef- when I forced him out. What did I do? I should have asked him about it, he's never even been with any of my hunters alone, the only time he's been even remotely intimate with one of the hunt is when he and Thalia hang out, but their cousins, they don't see each other like that. so, who did she see almost kissing Percy? I dont.. oh no. It was me, she saw me and pecry after our competition. I shouldn't have made that the deal, even if I thought I was going to win, because he had a girlfriend, I just, I was so prideful and thought I would beat him, and when Percy asked what his reward would be been, wait, what would have been my reward if he won? I'll have to ask thalia about it. "THALIA!" I yelled outside my tent for my liutenuet. when she walked in i could see the pain hidden in her eyes, from losing her cousin.
"yes mi'lady?"
"you don't have to call me mi'lady thalia, you know that."
"of course mi'lady, I apologize. what is it you needed?"
"what was going to be my reward if i won?" i asked her, looking at her through my mirror. She looked confused then looked straight back at me with sympathy, "You don't want to know mi'lady."
I knew from the look in her eyes she was trying to protect me, despite the pain I had just caused her, but, now I needed to know now more than ever. "Tell me thalia, please, I just, I need to know." I had turned around to face her while I talked.
"I just don't want you to beat yourself up over this, it's tormenting you enough just knowing you did the wrong thing, I won't put this pain on your shoulders, I'll the knowledge for you." she kissed my cheek as she turned to leave, only pausing half way out the tent to throw one last sentence over her shoulder, "oh, and don't bother trying to get the other hunters to tell you, they don't know." I just looked at the entrance of my tent not knowing what to do, knowing that Percy had done something that thalia considered so great she wouldn't tell me because it would torment me more than I already am. I sit on the edge of my bed and lay down, fully dressed as I stare at my tent roof, thinking about Percy and the time we have spent together in my hunt. I knew I had developed a connection with him, I had made him my champion, what else was to be expected? All I could do was hope in the end, nobody got hurt, and yet, that's exactly what happened, I belived Annabeth without even hearing my own champion out. I didn't deserve the loyalty he have me. And now there was nothing I could do, he was gone, and- hold up, he's my champion, I can locate him any where. I focus on the power that flows through his veins from my blessing and suddenly my surroundings changed into snow and trees. In front of me stood percy, his back to me and a sword poking through his back. I think I screamed, I don't know, but, the next thing I remember is kneeling on Olympus with the entire godly Parthenon surronding me. Percy was blessed by many of the gods and goddesses surrounding us, others were smirking in glee, their rival finally dead, and some, were just neutral, only knowing him from stories told amongst themselves. I looked around and glanced upon shimmering outlines. And as I looked upon them, I felt a small flare of ease and hope in my chest. He was welcomed with open arms into the world beyond, with the gods and goddesses of old.
---------------1 hour----------
"Today we gather here to mourn our hero, Percy Jackson. He was one unique man, who deserved better in life than the hand he was dealt. May he find peace in the and beyond, the first demigod to live with the gods and goddesses of pass. He was a lot of things, but, most importantly, he was the most humble, kind, and badassperson ever born." Apollo finished his speech over percys body, the last speech. My eyes watered as people slowly walked away, back to their lives, to mourn in private. Soon I was the last one there and walked up to the marble coffin his body would rest in for eternity, the marble lid closed and sealed, not that anything but dust would be getting near him once the mausoleum door was closed behind me. I rested my palm against the lid and closed my eyes. I felt a warm caress to my cheek and smiled as the year was wiped away, I knew better than to open my eyes, he would have to disappear and who knew when the Faded council would grant him another visit. "I'm sorry percy, I love you, I should have heard you out. I know your not mad at me, probably never was, but, I just wish I'd thought to get to you sooner. I hope to see you again one day." I smiled through my tears that had started talking faster down my face as I felt warmth press softly against my lips. His last good bye to me. My first kiss would forever be a good bye from the one man who will always be in my heart.
°°°°Percy°°
It killed me, but, once she blinked open her eyes, I knew I had to turn invisible, she looking longingly down at the marble coffin that was holding my old body. I watched her as she sealed the door and frowned, she would love me, forever, but, in time, the details will fade, and all she will know is an ache, one that will never disappear but dull over time, enough time for me to do what needs to be done. I flashed to my new home to the time being and sat upon my throne as a crown appeared upon my head and i looked upon the city at my feet. "Rest in peace Chaos, Void, and Order, I will do the best I can to keep this universe in order as your choosen one."
