The Lost Hero

ummmm.... no?

The war is finally over. Maybe now Annabeth and i can have our life in New Rome and go to collage. 

Those were the thoughts going through my head when I woke up. How unprepared i was for what was about to occur...

The seven along with Nico, and Thalia were called up to Olympus because the Drama Queen wanted to give us gifts for saving the god's sorry asses. Again...

when we got there i noticed someone i didn't know standing in the middle of the thrones. He looked like the average god, absolutely, ridiculously handsome. He had pitch black hair, tall lean figure, but what really caught my attention were his eyes. they seemed as though they held the stars. literally, his eyes held the universe.

Zeus started the meeting, "We have decided that you are all heroes and deserve a gift of sorts. All of you will have the option to be given godhood and receive a small part of your parents domain."

Well. Can't say i was expecting that. Alrighty then, here we go.

"Thalia Grace," Zeus bellowed, "since you are already immortal and Artemis's lieutenant, we offer you goddess-hood or a request."

Thalia looked conflicted for a moment before making her decision. "I choose the request." Her voice was firm and confident. "I wish for all the gods to pay more attention to their kids and visit them once in a while."

I smiled, this has been one of my dreams since the second titan war.

"Why?" Aphrodite is being clueless today. 

"Because," Thalia started, "if you guys had payed more attention and acted like actual parents then there would be less betrayals. Demigods would be more inclined to fight for you in your petty fights."

The gods were silent, they knew she was right but they didn't want to admit it. The guy I didn't know agreed tho.

"She's right you know." The mad addressed Zeus. "You all need to get off your lazy asses and start being parents to your kids."

I was shocked to see Zeus and all the other gods pale. 

"But Lord Chaos!" Athena looked genuinely terrified. "the Ancient Laws prevent us from that." 

The man, who I now know is Chaos, smirked, "not any more. I just removed that part. Now fulfill the maidens wishes."

There was a series of 'yes my lords' and 'yes lord Chaos.' after that i didn't really pay attention. That is until Annabeth accepted godhood. I was sure she would stay with me, knowing there's no way in Hades I was going to become a god, or even immortal.  

"Perseus Jackson" Zeus glared at me, "like Thalia you had options. you can accept godhood or become second in command of Chaos' army!"

I stood there not knowing what to think. "Ummmm... no?" was my intelligent answer.

 I saw Chaos perk up in interest, looking at me curiously. 

"What do you mean, no?" my dad looked as if i had told him i stole and murdered his panda pillow pet.

I sighed. "You already offered me immortality last year and i declined. what made you think i would accept now?" 

Annabeth looked as if she had been punched in the gut. "Seaweed Brain, I thought you would accept. Why are you declining? i thought you wanted to be with me forever."

I can't say Im not hurt, I do want to stay with her forever; but not like this.  

"I do Wise Girl but not like this. I wanted to grow old with you. Live life with you. As a mortal. Im only 17! I have a life to live, I cant watch my mom die. and Stella needs her brother around. I cant just leave them." By know there were tears in my eyes and more pouring down her face. but she nodded as if understanding.

There in the throne room of the Greek gods, they witnessed something they thought they would never see. Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase broke up. Forever. Aphrodite started bawling and muttering about her perfect OTP, Athena looked smug, our friends looked sad but understanding. the rest of the gods just looked at us in shock. 

Chaos decided now was the perfect time to speak up. "Alright even i didn't see that coming. so what about my offer Perseus? Will you join my army?"

"No"

He inclined his hear to me as a sign of respect and disappeared.

I looked at Zeus, "but i would like a wish like Thalia." He nodded to me to continue. "I want Hades and Hestia to have their thrones on Olympus."

He glared at me but nodded, waving his hand. Two beautiful thrones appeared. One was Obsidian black while the other looked like flames. Hades looked at me, beaming as he took his seat, smiling. Hestia simply hugged me and sat back down at the fire, tending ti its flame.

So that's what happened that day on Olympus that day. Now Im sitting on my bed alone, polishing Riptide. 

Well not for long. my day was about to get much worse.
