Poseidon's POV

I wanted to cry, to yell, to kill myself. I had never felt such a huge wave of emotions before, all connected to the one thing that was once my pride and joy. Anger, despair, misery, sadness, and helplessness all rolled into one. The one thing that made me happy, and I had disowned him, and tossed him to the side. Things had escalated so quickly, yet had fallen down on me so quick, that I didn't have time to think, to remake my decision. All I knew was that my favorite son had died, disappeared off the face of the Earth. Because. Of. Me. I had ever gotten to say sorry, to at least say good-bye, for what I had done to him. I had abandoned him, and I hated myself for it.

Today was the day that Percy had left. The day when the gods, goddesses, demigods, nymphs, naiads, satyrs, everybody in the mythological world gathered at Camp Half-Blood to learn about the Forgotten Hero- as everybody called him- and his adventures. The people that had went around the globe to search for him, also would come, to tell us clues about his disappearance. The only thing we learned was that some of the ghosts from the Underworld had disappeared and so did three of the campers, the same day that he had left his old life behind.

As I was thinking about this, Triton had come in, looking like he had seen a ghost. He was pale, with glistening drops of sweat falling down his forehead.

"Father!" He swam closer, until he was just at the feet of my throne.

"What is it?" I sighed.

"I've sensed an aura. The same aura that had been here five-hundred years ago." He gulped. "Yet it is more powerful than it has ever been before." I stood up.

"Where is it?"

"Camp Half-Blood."

Omega's POV

Seeing Camp Half-Blood again kind of struck a nerve in me. This used to be my home, the only safe place I could stay without having any harm come to me, yet it did come. The pain and regret was still there, just buried inside, without me realizing it. The jokes and teasing was just a cover-up, a way of hiding my feelings. It was easier to pretend it never happened and keep running, than dwelling on it and letting it bite you in the back. Seeing my first home made me realized it.

Grover was walking besides me, looking at me worriedly. "You okay, Perce?" I flinched. I forgot that satyrs could read emotions.

"Yeah, I-I'm fine." He didn't look convinced but nodded, not asking me anymore questions. The gods and goddesses were standing in front of us, our old friends next, and the army last.

Did you tell them?  MM-ed Beta.

Yeah, I did. I shut out my thoughts, not letting anybody listen what I was thinking.

Once we arrived, the demigods turned to stare at us, quizzical looks that made me feel uncomfortable.

I saw a small space in the corner of the room, big enough for a table that seats ten people. I snapped my fingers, and I immediately a table formed. It was made of a white glass and marble, only found in the Void. The campers that didn't see us use our powers, looked at us in awe. I ignored them, and walked over to the table with the army following me.

We sat down, and almost immediately, plates of delicious food filled the table. I almost wanted to get a cup of blue coke, but thought better of it, since people were looking at us. After a while, they turned back to their conversations. The gods sat down with Chiron, and usually walked to their childrens' tables. We talked and laughed like a normal family, enjoying our dinner. But it was over too soon.

"Tonight is the same day Percy Jackson, the Savior of Olympus left." He looked down wistfully.

"Crap. That was today?!" I whisper-yelled at Alpha.

"This week we are going to talk about his adventures and what he did for us. Almost everybody from the mythological world is going to come, including the people that have been around the globe to search for him, to tell us what they have found about his dissappearance. We are going to start today, so anybody who wants to talk about his first quest, please come to the Big House, where you are going to sign up. You are dismissed."

We quickly shuffled to the cabin, and tore our hoods off.

"What are we going to do? They're going to find out that I'm Percy."

"I don't know." Sky shrugged. "I guess we just have to wing it."

"Let's go! I want to hear what you did when I was...you know... down there. Plus it'll less suspicious if we come." said Angel.

"I agree with Angel." said Star. She spoke like a normal person now, probably the consequences that she hangs out so much with us.

"Yeah. I want to go." said Beta.

"Fine." I sighed. "We'll go. But don't expect me to like it."

I...am...a...wimp. I cried when I wrote Poseidon's POV. KInd of like how I cried when I read Harry Potter, when Dumbledore dies. So sad. :(

So I have a question for you guys. Whoever gets it correct first gets a dedication. What does Nico say after he uses his powers to help Percy escape from Hades' palace, when he wanted to go to sleep? This is probably my new favorite quote. If you need help, you'll find it in the Last Olympian.

I want to dedicate this to Dj_jd_x.

Leo: Hi!!!!

Me: Leo. What are you doing here? This is what I do.

Leo: Not anymore. I am Leo Flamin Valdez. Surpreme Commander of the Argo II.

Me: *pushes Leo* Remeber to do these three things.

Leo: I am the most awesomest sexiest guy alive.

Me: READ

Leo: I'm too hot for you to handle.

Me: VOTE
