2 years later after the war

It's been two years after the Great War and two month since I've seen camp. I had gone on a solo quest for Athena. She said that if I completed the quest she would allow me to marry her daughter. And Lo and behold, I completed it, albeit it was hard. I still can't believe she told me to complete the trials of Hercules. But it was worth it. Now you're maybe asking, why is a kid around 18 asking a girl's hand in marriage. Well, firstly, I'm 22 years old, not 18. Secondly, I really love her and wish to spend the rest of my immortal life with her.

I reached the camp borders and took in the sight of it before going down. I ran straight to the Head cabin. I noticed nobody was there, so I wrote a letter explaining that I had completed the quest and that I was resting in my cabin.

I reached my cabin and threw my stuff on my bed and noticed Hercules' bunk empty and thought nothing of it. I ran to the Athena cabin in search of Annabeth. I knocked on the door and was greeted by Annabeth's half brother, Malcolm.

"Is Annabeth there?" I asked. He looked around nervously and told quickly. "She's not here. I think you may find her near the beach. A caution I don't think you will like what you find." I rushed of before hearing the warning, eager to see Annabeth.

I reached the beach in record time, and started searching for Annabeth. I only saw a couple making out on the beach. I was about to go search someplace when I heard my Hercules' voice. "You're so amazing, promise you'll dump Percy and go out with me." I was shocked. Was Hercules making out with Annabeth? I wouldn't believe it, until I heard the response. "Yes, I'll do anything for you." This chilled me to the bone. The waves started to grown in size and crash loudly. I could barely control my anger.

Hercules noticed me standing nearby," Hey, Annabeth, I don't think we need to tell him, he already found out." He told her, pointing a finger at me.

"Oh, hi Percy, I was going to te-" Annabeth started to explain before I cut her off, " WHEN? After I proposed to you. I can't believe you're dating him. I repeated all of Hercules's trials before your mother would grant me permission. That's one month I won't be getting back." A hug storm hovered over head. The waves were crashing against the shoreline, lightning and thunder could be seen and heard overhead. Both of them were petrified.

"Don't be so overdramatic, you always bored me. After the war, you didn't do much. So, I went after Hercules, atleast he's more exciting. he said im more pretty than Zoe Knightshade." Annabeth stated, but I didn't stay to listen. I ran to my favourite spot in the woods, Zeus's fist.

I sat there thinking about Annabeth's words. I may have gotten boring but that was because I was tired of the attention. Then I realized, Annabeth was not the only one who betrayed me. My own father did. He had decided to come back and tell that Hercules was the greatest hero ever. This happened a little over a year ago, when I was in New York and Hercules was in Camp. At first I thought he was trying to win him over with flattery but now I know it was because of spite. He was angry that I didn't chose Godhood.

They were others who left me out as well. Most of the Olympians no longer talked to me much as they thought I insulted them by declining godhood, but still Nico, Thalia, Clarisse, Rachel, Hermes and Apollo (mostly because his ne found crush on Rachel) and a few Romans were still nice to me. And the campers, they began to ignore me and started to follow Hercules just because he killed some furies a while back. Big deal!

That's when I made my decision. Why should I stay where I'm not wanted? I'll leave and never come back. I'll go somewhere the gods will never find me. Alaska. I went over to the Hades cabin where my true friend, besides Thalia and Grover, Nico was staying. I told him the reason why and I made him swear on the river Styx not to tell any single person, unless I give the word. I went to my cabin and packed all my stuff into my backpack.

I reached the border in no time, but I was stopped by a small girl tending a small fire. I recognized it was Lady Hestia, and bowed down to her because she was still my favorite of all Olympians.

"Percy Jackson, do not go. Do not lose hope, for if hope is lost then surely is the will to live." Lady Hestia told me.

"Please ask the hunt if the can take Ms. O' Leary, I must leave, my lady. But I'll never lose hope for I aim to live but some place where no god could find me." I replied with a heavy heart.

"Do what you must, but if you need my help or just some company, just burn some grass and I'll be there." Hestia smiled at me.

I nodded and left, only turning back to wave at Hestia but realized she had gone. I decided my journey and thought of never to return to this forsaken place.

Montana (26 Hours later)

I stopped and grabbed a bite to eat. Just a hotdog along a path to a wildlife sanctuary. I still had enough money to get to Alaska. I am planning to settle down where a few friends and I saved Thanatos. I hope Frank and Hazel's wedding went off without a hitch. I was going to go and show Annabeth some houses in new Rome for us, Jason said he could help us out. But he came along and ruined my plan. I felt my face heat up with anger and a storm started to brew. I was about to cross in when I noticed three elderly ladies motioning me there way.

"Young Hero, please we have much to discuss." One of the ladies gave me a cup of hot chocolate. I cant believe that the fates wanted me in their presence. I knew a few people were on my side but I always thought the fates were against me.

"How may I help you?" I am trying to be polite.

"We have an opposition for you." All three smiled warmly towards me, is it me or am I going to be screwed by the end of this. I motioned for them to continue.

"Zeus is losing sight of his standards. We need another kingdom in case they fall to any other force."

"So you want me to become a king of gods, like Zeus" I'm dumbfounded, can I do that? What if Zues found out, what am I even thinking, I don't want to rule.

"Yes, you see your feet's have earned you a right and we believe you have already experienced the power over time and earth, you inherited by Gaia and kronos in the previous wars." True I did but I was too afraid it would start problems with the big guy.

"What exactly do you want me to do?" The three smiled at each other and turned to me. They weren't giving a prophecy just instructions, each speaking one after another

"Go to Alaska, to the place where you once fought.

Use the earth to build you island

Raise the earthborn and create your army.

Find a queen you can trust and love

Build the titans to the power of the Olympians,

Assist them or let them fall, your choice."

Who will be queen?

Hestia Artemis Clarisse
