Chapter 1 – irreversible loss

General POV

Its been 5 years since the second giant war, peace radiated through camp half-blood as Percy walked around aimlessly, asking the same question why.

Percy POV

'why…'

The only thought repeating in my mind like a broken record. The memory still fresh in his mind.

Flash back (5 month ago)

"YOU WILL FALL BY MY HANDS AGAIN GAIA!" screamed Zeus as he tried to blast the earth with lightning. "I did not fall by your hands Zeus…it was the demigod Perseus Jackson" Gaia smirked as she knew she hit a sore spot.

Gaia used the last of her power to get revenge on Percy even though she knew it was pointless.

"Uncle I suggest we stand down… she's already fading and besides what has been done cannot be undone…" I whispered loud enough for Zeus to hear me, Gaia's revenge plot succeeded and now she didn't care if she faded or not, her plan was to break me by taking what I hold dear to my heart. My family.

She did the unthinkable, she used the last bit of her godly presence to destroy three souls; my mom, Paul and Annabeth.

"Goodbye Perseus Jackson, may we meet in another lifetime for I still need to thank you" there was a woman that looked like Gaia in her human form but she was standing on top of Gaia that was in her primordial form. She smiled and began to glow, power radiated from her and a blast of pure energy was released

I blacked out as the gods put a barrier around us.

Flash back end

The incident haunted me, the gods felt a disturbance near my mom's apartment and contacted me right away and when we got there we saw Gaia with blood in her hands and we flashed her into a forest where she was being detained.

The damage was done, the souls destroyed.
