I walked out from behind the pillar as Annabeth faded out of view and walked over to the gods, and now that I had a new identity and have discovered my past I was able to forgive the gods but not Zeus, who killed me. I walked over to the fire and stood high with my scaly head rising to the top of Hestia's fire and I looked at Chaos, my real mother before she walked into a portal with a nod. 

I will help you in this war, but this is my last war and I am not to be called upon again in any other dimension I go to, got it I waited until they nodded before I opened a portal to the camp beach and stepped through leaving the gods in shock at the fact that I'll actually help them after all they've done. 

I closed the portal behind me and turned around to look at my reflection, and I was surprised to see that I had changed, a lot.  The underside of my wings were still blue from last time and my chest was also still white, I looked back and saw that my back was now black, blue, and purple mixed and swirled together to ripple like waves, and my tail was also a rainbow of black, purple, blue, white, and black also swirled together. I had grown by at least five more feet and my head reached the top of the cabins as I looked around. I looked in the water again and saw that my eyes were the same blue but there were purple and black spots seemingly swirling like the rest of my body, and then I fell to the ground as a pain overtook my body and I barely dragged myself into the water in time to let loose a scream that made the surface ripple. 

I felt my blood boil and change until everything stopped and I slowly sagged out of the water and I saw that my skin now had silver streaks along the lines of the swirling circles, each of my legs were different, my front left being silver, my front right being red, white, blue, and other colors of fire stretching into a pattern like that of fire, my back right was different shades of blue rippling like water as I moved, and my back left foot was dark black and purple like the void. My wings and teeth had gained a silver gleam, and my eyes still glowed blue, but they also glowed silver sometimes. I looked at my chest and saw that the broken trident had disappeared as well as the white of it and I saw that it had been replaced by a silver-white moon surrounded in a black sea of darkness. 

I smiled and retracted my teeth and then I turned around to see that a familiar black-haired kid was staring at me with awe and confusion, and then our eyes met and he must've realized who I was because Nico shot at me and hugged my chest the best he could. I put my head on the top of his and then I felt little dents in my scales, and I looked down and realized that he was punching me. I backed up feigning pain and giving him a mock pained look and then laughing at his shock and he fell backwards from the shock of my laughing and I had to admit it did sound strange but I was getting used to it. 

"H-how are you still alive, last we heard you were killed and I couldn't find your soul in the underworld" he said tears coming to his eyes 

I was killed by Zeus' bolt yeah, it was painful I added by the look on his face when I said that, but when my soul came out of my body the doors to the underworld were closed and there was a rip in reality that sucked me in before disappearing and I never would've made it to the underworld anyways, even if Hades liked me the Fates didn't have it planned for me to die apparently, so I was reborn in a different way, as a dragon in a different dimension. Then Annabeth's ghost came to me, warned me to come back, and here I am, having to help you in this war until I can go back once you all are safe. 

I looked at him and then there was a horn signaling the arrival of the hunters, and I smiled, this was going to be fun. I gave Nico a grin before taking off like a bullet just as the hunters cleared the barrier and I saw Thalia and she just barely jumped out of my way as I zoomed towards her, and her knives glanced along my scales, doing no damage, but the lightning that she hit me with was a shocker.
