The darkness of night was present and Leo Valdez stared out the window, he saw the stars twinkle so far yet so bright. Like a fire that would never be extinguished.. One that could be beautiful and dangerous at the same time. One that was hot and cold and cold. He had loved fire when he was younger and probably would love fire forever. It was just in his blood. as was Water was in Percy's blood, it was just how they were made and how they would stay.

"Hey," Leo heard someone call out. "Can't sleep either?"

"No," Leo said and turned over to see Iapetus kneeling. The Titans silver hair as bright as the stars. "Why, do you follow Kronos?" cocking his head, Leo stared at the Titan.

"Because he is my brother… he saved us," Iapetus murmured and looked off into the distance.

Leo could see the memories of the past dancing in those swirling silver eyes, he stood, dusted himself off and walked away.

Small Bob loped over to Percy, and the son of Poseidon's eyes immediately turned to Annabeth. "Come on," he murmured, "breathe. Annabeth… breathe."

"It's not like she is going to wake up!" Jason said, he didn't cower under then others glares.

"Percy!" Poseidon exclaimed incredulously.

Percy ignored him as he focused on Annabeth. "Come on. Annabeth!"

Frank shook his head, "It's not working, Percy," he said sadly, "Tartarus said it might not, that it wasn't definitely going to-"

Percy suddenly cut him off with a shout of joy as he saw Annabeth take a deep breath and her eyes fluttered open. "Annabeth…" he murmured as she met his eyes, "it worked. It actually worked!"

"I am sometimes surprised at the little faith i have in my superiors" Percy whispered and held onto Kronos' hand in the shadows.

After all the light was just where the reader was, and that was Poseidon. Plus most of the Titans had night vision and that came in handy.

"Percy," Annabeth murmured, "what happened? I could have sworn I saw Luke." She shot up as her eyes widened, "I was in Elysium!"

"How was that possible?" Kronos wondered.

because most people who were hit with backbiter, or had their soul reaped didn't end up in Elysium, something about dark magic that was close to Chaos' or some crazy bat shit like that!

Percy breathed out a sigh of relief. "Oh, gods, Annabeth. I thought you wouldn't come back." He faltered a moment, his eyes turning sad. "I'm so sorry – it's my fault you died! If I hadn't been so scared I could have done something… I could have stopped him!"

"No, Percy you couldn't do anything," Annabeth murmured. "The prophecy is complete. The quest is done."

"What a way to break it to him, Daughter" Athena muttered.

"What?" Percy croaked. "Your death – me unable to do anything… HOW WAS THAT THE PROPHECY?" He demanded, darting to his feet.

"Nine will enter the depths of the earth, find the never forgotten hero and return to the hearth." Annabeth spoke. "The nine of us found you," she said as she climbed to her feet, feeling dizzy for a brief moment, "and we got you out." She paused, looking around the clearing at the gods and campers watching her intently. "Where are the others?"
