Percy POV

I sat at my secret place. My secret place is a cliff. Only I know where it is. The rocks are smooth and it's comfortable to sit on.

Under the cliff, there are waves crashing on the smart shore and above me, there are bright stars that twinkle. I have the perfect view of the huntress constellation from here.

I sighed, taking out riptide. I turned 13 , 3 months ago. According to the fates I would meet my mate when I'm 13. I stared at riptide, the blade bringing me painful memories of both my past and Zoë's sacrifice.

" I, Perseus relinquish this sword to it's rightful owner Zoë Nightshade."
Riptide shimmers and turned to dust.

A sliver of silvery wisp flew into the sky. I stared up at the sky. I didn't know why I did that, it just felt so right.

Suddenly there was a comet like shape coming to the ground.... straight for me. The weird cometcrahsed into the ground.

I swear at that moment I thought my eyes were about to drop off or I was in a dream. There right in the crater that the " comet " had created , stood the one and only Zoë Nightshade.

She was wearing camo pants and a silver shirt. Her silver hunting parka draped over her shoulders.

Zoë POV

I felt weightless. I didn't know how long I was out. Until I was plummeting down to earth. I landed in a crater and standing at the top wide eyed and open mouthed was a young boy.

He looked a lot like Milady. Which reminds me, I wanted to see her again. My time in my weightless state allowed me to reflect on life.

After I met Percy , I decided that I wanted someone reliable like him. My heart had a unexplainable emptiness to it , my alone time just amplified it.

He looked confused and shocked. He seemed swayed and after a few seconds, jumped into the crater.

" Hey Zoë ! Remember me ? Oh wait.... I have a slight appearance change.... And a curse.... So ..... Hey I'll bring you to mum ! " He held out a hand.

The boy looked around my age 13/14 years old. He wore camouflage pants and a black shirt and a hunters silver parka? He had black hair with Auburn streaks.

His left side had a few blond streaks and his right had a silver streak. He had 2 hunting knives strapped to his calf and throwing knives on his waist. I don't recall meeting him before.

I wonder who his mother is ? I took his hand and an electrifying spark flew though me, my heart raced faster. He helped me out of the crater and strolled back into the forest.

We arrived at the hunters campsite. It was the same as I remembered it. Silver tents circling around a campfire. A few deer carcass being roasted.

He told me to wait by the trees out of site , I had a clear view of the camp.

" Guys ! I got a surprise! " He yelled.

Artemis came out of her tent and ruffled his hair. Thalia came and hugged him. All the hunters walked up to him , excited to see the surprise.

He pointed to the tree where I was and I walked out of the shadows. Thalia was stunned.

Pheobe had her mouth so wide, a boar would be able to fit. Artemis was openly sobbing in the boys arms. She was saying thank you over and over again.

Milady walked up to me and glanced back at the boy, a sly smirk forming on her face.

" Zoë ! A lot of things have changed around here ! It's been what ? More than 16 years ! This is my biologically adopted son." She went on to explain who he was and by the time she was finished I was stunned. That was Percy ?
