Percy Jackson - The Curse of Tartarus

-War takes its toll-

As a combatant in two full-fledged wars, Perseus Jackson has practically seen it all.
He has been through places that Immortals would never dare to step in. He has accomplished the impossible many times over. He has survived it all.

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock
However, Percy is slowly dying. His life is a ticking bomb. He is confronted with the news that he is dying, and must come to terms with his own mortality. He does the unthinkable, breaking up with Annabeth to spare her of the news. He rather her hate him and stay far away, than see her every day reminded of the limited time that he has.
Percy Jackson leaves the Greek World to spend some time in the city. He enrolls in the final year of high school, and dons his civilian clothes once again.
However, at every step, at every turn, Percy is reminded that the mortal world is not for him. He sees reminders everywhere. As something unexpected happens, triggering old, familiar memories to the forefront of his mind, Percy makes a choice.

He takes a dive back into the Greek world to confront his inner demons under a pseudonym. Racing against the clock, will he pull through, or be forever lost?
