Across worlds and time

Percy's p.o.v.

 Now word to the wise if you ever want to be popular at camp never come back with bad news ever. Now as the shore and a good bit of the ocean near the camp was protected by a magical barrier and no one could get inside unless your a Demi or a god or an extremely lost pizza delivery guy. Yes it has happened before, Chris dealt with it. Just before we surfaced I gave permission for Aqua, Terra, Axel, Xion, Roxas, and Ventus to enter camp.

The person on look out duty was Conner Stoll from the Hermes cabin. When he spotted us he blew the Conch horn to signal the camp we had returned home. The guy is nice and all, but oyu always had to keep a hand on your wallet around this guy and his brother Travis. "Chris, Percy, Harry, Van!" He yelled, "What happened? Who are these guys? Where's Beckendorf and Lestra?"

Then he saw the looks on our faces and his smile melted. "Oh no. Poor Selina and Derick. Holly Zeus, when they find out...."

"We know Connor" Chris said

Together we climbed the sand dunes. A few hundred yards away people where streaming towards us, smiling and excited. This was not going to be good to say the least. We stopped at the dining pavilion and waited. No sense in rushing down to say what a huge loser I was. Van gave me a knowing look. Gezz that guy can tell exactly what I'm thinking about worse than my own twin, Harry. But I wanted this for a while , Chris and I just didn't have the level of understanding that Vanitas and I had. 

I gazed across the valley and tried to remember the first time I'd ever seen it. That felt like a bajillion years ago. From the dining pavilion you could see everything the camp had. Thalia's pine, Terry's spring, and Teress's hand stood with the fleece, the fire healer, and the heart of Nimwa protecting the camp from it's enemies. Pleseus was curled around the base of Thalia's tree. On my right woods spread far as the eye could see. My left the canoe lake glittered and the climbing wall glowed from the lava. then came the cabins we had for each god and Primordal even three cabins for the keyblade wielders stood in a pattern. Father south was the strwberry fields, armory, and the four story big house.

In some ways camp hadn't changed, but if you looked closer you could see the changes in everyone who attended camp. This war has been hard on all of us and some more than others, **cough** Chris**cough**. There wheren't as many pranks and everything seemed to come to a stand still.

Chiron galloped into the pavilion first and the looks on the others faces would have been priceless if I was in the mood to be happy. Chris delivered the news about Beckendorf and Lestra. Selena and Derick had to be carried back to there cabins to calm them down due to how they broke down into hysterics. I'm sure everyone felt it with Beckendorf and Lestra gone it was like we'd lost our anchors for the entire camp.

I then delivered the message to Chiron that dad had given us. "Vanitas gather the head councilors in the rec room. We need to call a war council. And as for you young ones you should attend as well, for your best interests." Chiron stated

"Got it" Van said running off to to his job

"Why should we listen to you?" Aqua asked

"He trained the first keyblade wielders before they left earth. Plus he's older than any of you. On top of which you owe us for getting you out of that mess." I snarled

They backed off and made way to the rec room. I followed Annabeth to the attic. Believe me I've been up here more times than I've wanted to be.  Wait now that I think about it why isn't there a I Hate Oracles club or something like that? Seriously I'd sign up in a heart beat.

I looked around the attic of the big house and saw the things that Demi's for ages had brought back. Heck there was the simtar of Kampe, the black coat of Organization XIII, and the scarf of Aphrodite that we brought back from our first quest together. I smiled at the memories, but came back into focus as Annabeth asked for the Prophecy. Turns out it was around her neck this entire time. I was about to say something, but Harry sent me a look that said, "The time wasn't right and you know it."
