Percy's POV

I looked below me to see the camp below. My eyes landed on my cabin to the stable then the big house. My eyes finally landed on the beach. The place where I last saw them. Memories flew back to my mind as I rose far away from the place I called home.

FLASHBACK*

I just came back from a quest to retrieve Hephaestus' hammer. I was looking for Annabeth everywhere. Athena's cabin, the archery range, the lava wall, the infirmary, the beach and the arena. I tried everywhere I could think of until I heard a scream. Two screams to be exact.

I quickly ran across the camp and over the hill to where I heard the screams. I was surprised to see a boy and a girl trying to fight off two cyclops and the Minotaur. "Hey Beef Brain!" I yelled.

Before the Minotaur could turn to face me, I uncapped Riptide and slashed at his arm. One long strip of golden dust was pouring out of the monster.

The Minotaur yelled in frustration and charged at me. I quickly sidestepped to dodge his attack. While doing so I saw the camp help the boy and girl with the cyclopes. He charged again but this time I jumped, landed on his back and sliced off his head. When the blade cut through his head, he disintegrated into gold dust.

I turned my head to the boy and girl and grinned. "Are you alright?" I asked.

"Yeah we are alright and thanks for killing that monster."

"You're welcome."

Ever since that day, the boy and girl became one of my friends. We would joke around, talk, and challenged each other.

The boy is named Michael and is a son of Zeus. On the other hand the girl is named Stacy and is the daughter of Hades. The only thing they had in common was that they ran away from home and they are both 16 years old.

When they came to camp, they were great fighters and were almost as good as me. Since they were such a good fighter, I started slacking off which resulted my skills getting rusty.

A few weeks later while on patrol, Michael and I were goofing off when a shadow appeared and I went to Michael. I thought I was seeing things so I ignored it but ever since that day Michael was never the same.

Sometimes we would spar and he would win but I was still rusty. After I realized this I trained again but needed more protection. So one day I asked Hephaestus to make two bracelets. One for me

and one for Annabeth. My bracelet

would turn into a shield so I had protection and Annabeth's turned into any book she wanted because I literally find her reading a book every day. Needing to wait for 1 week, I just walked around.

On the second day of waiting, I heard Michael saying that I cheated on Annabeth and that I killed Nico's sister, Bianca.(How does he know about Bianca?)

One by one everyone left me. Every single day, little by little a piece of my real self got broken, never able to be repaired... Or so I thought.

On the day the bracelets were made, I quickly ran over to the Athena's cabin and knocked.(I did Hephaestus because Percy did a quest for him in the beginning.

30 Minutes Later*

30 minutes. That's how long it took Malcolm to opened the door. "What are you doing here, jerk."

I was about to answer when I realized what he just said. "Why are you calling me a jerk?" "You just broke up with Annabeth and you don't know why you're a jerk?" He yelled. Then he slammed the door in my face.

15 Minutes Later*

You know when you see something you don't like and you start to tear up little bit? Well that is what I experienced expected I didn't tear up. I cried.

After Malcolm slammed the door on me I went to search around camp for Annabeth. I was thinking where Annabeth might be when I heard chanting. "KISS! KISS! KISS!" I followed the noise all the way to the beach where I saw a crowd circled around two people making out.

At first I took no notice to it what so ever. Then I glanced to see who the happy couple was and my heart shattered into millions of pieces. Tears were running down my cheeks as I slowly turned away. It was Annabeth and my friend Michael. I quickly sprinted to my cabin not looking back and saw saw Poseidon in front of it.

"Perseus, I am disappointed in you. You attempted to steal my trident for yourself. I, Poseidon, here by disown Perseus Jackson." Poseidon yelled.

My body glowed purple and a blue orb came out of my body. All of a sudden my eyes turned purple, my tears turned golden and a force field was created around me which stopped the orb from going to Poseidon. The orb instead bounced on the force field and came back to me.

My eyes and tears changed back to their original colors except my eyes turned blue and not sea-green. Everyone around me stared in shock even Poseidon. I glared at everyone and stormed off.

I ran all the ways to the lake and looked at my reflection. Instead of seeing me, I saw a different person with stress and sadness. I dove into the water and swam to the underwater cave I went to to relax and train.

Five hours later I came back to the cabin and opened the door. Stacy for whatever reason was inside.

"Where are you doing" Stacy asked as I entered my cabin and started packing up. "I should be asking you the same question to you and I'm leaving" was all I said. Stacy eyes widen.

After that, she left and walked to the Hades cabin where I saw Nico welcome her in. I then got up and closed the door and went back to what I was doing.

I swiftly got my watch, bracelet, riptide and my now stuffed backpacked and and ran to my lake.

I slowly uncapped riptide and observed it. The blade has been through many adventures with me and I didn't want to leave it behind but it had to much memories. I turned the sword and slammed the blade into the ground." Only let me or the chosen one pick you up. I, Perseus unclaimed riptide... May a better hero pick you up" I muttered.

I then kept on walking until I was knees deep in the water

I then created a water bubble which slowly flew up in sky with me inside.
