After a quick breakfast I made my way to the training room to see how everyone was doing. Along the way I stopped by the medical training room and said hello to everyone and to see how they were doing. I didn't stick around long because I have no idea what to do when it comes to healing. My solution is to throw water on it and use some of my magic to help it heal. I left with a smile to the healers and headed to the training room. As I got closer I could here the sound of metal crashing together when it came to an abrupt stop with a crash of metal and a scream. I rushed forward and basically threw my body through the door. 

"What happened?" I tried to ask but no one answered me. I grabbed the person closest to me. I turned him to face me and when I saw his wide eyes and white face I felt my blood drain. I turned towards where the large group had started to form and pushed my way through to the front. When I reached the front I paused for a second before rushing forward. 

"Percy?" I stopped short in my rush as I stared at the man on the ground.

"What happened? Why is he bleeding?" I asked Nico who was standing near by.

"He just fell from the roof and landed on a sparing pair. He got a blade to the arm." I nodded and quickly helped him up.

"Why are you here?" I asked as we left the room. He waited till we were out of the room before answering me.

"Chaos." I stopped for a second before I continued walking.

"Why would Chaos send you?" He sighed.

"Said something about it being time. I don't know for what." I stopped in place and grabbed his shoulder.

"What did she say? Exactly." He let out a small smile.

"She said to tell you it was time and that she was sending me to help you. She also said that camp needs you." I nodded tensely.

"Why does camp need me? I left long ago." He shook his head.

"It's only been a few years." I shook my head quickly.

"No way. How?" He shrugged.

"Chaos said something about time moving slower the farther you get from the castle." I nodded.

"Do you know what camp thinks of me?" He shook his head sadly.

"I don't know. I can't imagine they don't like you. I mean, you are the Hero of Olympus." I let out a small snort.

"We both know that wasn't on my own. And I expect they hate me. I left them. I disappeared without saying anything." I sighed and let my muscles relax. I felt myself slouch as my muscles gave in to the stress of it all.

"Percy, it's been a while since I've been in camp but I can guarantee they don't hate you." I nodded slightly. 

"Thanks. But we should get you to the infirmary." He nodded and we finished our short walk in silence. I dropped him off at the infirmary and headed to find Nico. I found him in the throne room pacing back and forth. I let out a small cough and watched as his head whipped my direction.

"Why is here?" I sighed.

"Chaos sent him. It's time. Camp needs us." Nico scowled.

"Then why send him? Camp would hardly trust him. I mean she could have sent one of the seven. Why him?" I shook my head.

"Because I need him." Nico's scowled even more.

"Why do you need him? All he's ever done was try to hurt you." I leaned my head against the wall beside me.

"I just do Neeks. Please don't question it." He let out a puff of air but nodded.

"Fine. Doesn't mean I have to like him." I nodded.
