Wow I bit off more than I can chew. So here it is and it is a little over ten thousand words. I really really wanted to have the whole week in this chapter, some how even though school is out I have been super busy and I won't be able to write again until Monday. I decided I didn't want to rush it because I didn't want the chapter to be crap. I had to split it so I could keep my promise of having something out. I will keeping work on it as much as I can. Thank you all for your support, reads, votes, and comments. They have kept me going. I also think I learned how to dedicate so I am going to try. If so the rest of my chapters will have dedications. Here you guys are. ME NO RICK RIORDAN!

Percy POV

Dad called me out first. He said had claim to me since he is my father. I didn't mind this. What I did mind was the commotion that started after until Athena got it under control. This week was going to be a long one. I just stood there as Athena made a time table once she was done she handed it to me.

"Follow this exactly and it gives everyone time to prepare, sleep, eat, and be with you. Any messing with it and someone won't get to be with you for long or at all. Do you understand Percy?" I nodded.

"I understand Lady Athena. I will follow this to a T." I gave her my trouble maker smile. She rolled her eyes. Dad grabbed me by the arm and we flashed to his palace. It was dim and dull. Nothing like the palace I once remembered.

"What happened dad?" He looked at me sadly.

"I just couldn't get over that fact that you were gone. I always blamed myself for the fate you have been dealt."

"It isn't your fault dad. None of it is, the Fates had this planned and with or with your will it would have happened anyway. Things just work out that way."

"I wish I could have done more for you." He hugged me and I hugged him back.

"You loved my Mother there is nothing I could ask more for. Now since we only have so much time with another how about we do something?"

"Let's go do something fun." Dad snapped his fingers and we were in the sun, but still in the water. I looked down to see myself in a pair of sea green swim trunks and myself sitting on a surf board. I looked over to see dad in a dark pair of blue swim trunks also sitting on a surf board.

"I figured that we could do something that we both could enjoy besides fighting." I smiled at him. I had never been surfing before and he was right I would enjoy to do something other than fighting since I had either been doing that or being tortured for the majority of my life.

"Thank you Dad. I will enjoy this." With that he smiled and waves started. We spent the majority of the hours we had together at the beach he had taken us to. It was a wonderful time, one of my best memories. The only thing that would had made it better was Mom being there, but she had been dead for a long time. With Apollo making the sun disappear and Artemis driving her carriage so that the moon came out it was time for Dad and I to part. He clearly didn't wasn't to do so as we hugged.

"I will miss you so much." I could hear the shakiness in his voice.

"I will miss you. Thank you for today, I had a lot of fun. It was different, but a good different." With that Poseidon flashed us both away. He must have went home, for I was now in my old cabin and dressed in my old clothes. I decided to take a shower and go to bed. I was tired and with the time table that Athena had made up I knew that it was going to be a long week.

When I got up the next morning it was early. I still had another hour and a half until breakfast. I decided to go train. I was walking to the arena when I noticed the obstacle course I had made up was still there. It had been tweaked and added to however. It looked even harder than when I first set it up, of course I had been pressed for time then. At the time I hadn't been able to make it like I had actually wanted it. I decided to take a whack at the improved course. As I went through it I was happy at the changes they made. I recognized some that came from the Army as well as some made by the camp. I easily made it through and was still able to get some training and take a shower before I had to be at breakfast. I went to the pavilion and was shocked. It was now huge! I must be because the Army, Camp Jupiter, and Camp Half Blood were all together at times. As I got closer I noticed many stares. I saw some old faces, but mostly new. It kind of bothered me. I looked around where to sit and noticed that the campers were all intermingled now. There was no specific table for each god or goddess. I hesitated.

"Hey Perc over here!" I turned to see Jason was the one who called out. At the table was many of my friends. I smiled and sat down.

"Hey Kelp Head," Thalia teased.

"Sup Pinecone Face?"

"It's good to see you Prissy," Clarisse said smiling. Chris was at her side.

"Good to see you guys too," I said addressing the whole table. I looked at each of them. Jason, Piper, Thalia, Annabeth, Aiden, Chris, Clarisse, Frank, Hazel, Nico, Will, Leo, and Calypso.

"Are you going to eat," Piper asked? I nodded and made some blue waffles appear with blue syrup and blue milk. They looked at me in surprise. It was a perk of being blessed by Chaos. I got the power of creation.

"Hey Percy," came a male voice from behind me. I turned to see Luke, Zoe, Bianca, Silena and Charles. There was no more room at our table, but I created extra bench to sit.

"Hey guys want to sit and eat?" They nodded and sat. I started to eat, but the campers looked at me.

"Do I have something on my face?"

"You didn't sacrifice any food." Aiden said.

"Dude, he spent most of his time being tortured and when he wasn't being tortured he was either with primordials or with Chaos who do not want sacrifice. So no duh he didn't do so," Luke retorted to Aiden. Aiden grew red and started to eat. Annabeth laughed. I was happy to see and be with all of them.

"So what is your time table like," Zoe asked.

"Today is the primordials, but just Nyx, Erebus, Tartarus, Aether, and Hermera since the others weren't close to me. They just trained me without knowing my identity, thus not really having want to hang out with me. Tomorrow it is split between the Olympians, The next day is the army/campers/hunters, after that day I can spend the next day with the people I want more time with. I hope to have a game of Capture the Flag between the groups. The final day will be preparations for Destruction and his army."

"Sounds like you have a busy schedule Percy," Annabeth said. I nodded. I was planning on making time to spend with her and since I didn't want there to be any discomfort I would extend my invitation to Aiden. They were together now, but I felt like there needed to be closure between Annabeth and myself. The rest would just fall into place. I noticed that it was almost time to go and I finished my food.

"Well I will see you probably all tomorrow here. I got to go now."

"Try and behave," Luke said and I gave him a sly grin. I then flashed myself to Nyx and Erebus's Palace. I spent part of the day with them. We did nothing but talk, which was also different to me. It was nice to see them again though, even when my soul had been split before I had felt a connection to them, though I hadn't recognized it until I was whole again. They were like another set of parents. As we parted they decided to give me a gift, a token of sorts since I no longer had nor could have their blessings. Instead I got a necklace with two charms on it. One was a star and one was a blackbird. Yes, I know that many people think that a necklace is too girly, but I appreciated the thought. It was something that I would carry with me. I thanked them and I went to the Pit next to meet with Tartarus. Like Nyx and Erebus I had a connection with him that I hadn't noticed until later, he was like an uncle to me. He was also like a father to me since I was under the guise of being his son for so long. Unfortunately we couldn't spend much time with another since the monsters disappearing was taking up his time. I offered to help, but he told me I had enough on my plate. He sent me to Aether and Hermera with a good luck and a black sword charm to go onto my necklace. I then spent the rest of the day with two other parent figures in my life. Aether thought it would be best to have some fun so he decided that we should go to different planets and spend time at their entertainment places. We even ended up back on Earth at an amusement park. I was exhausted by the time the day was done. Before sending me to bed they each gave me a charm. Aether's was the sun, while Hermera's was a pair of white wings (sorry I had no better ideas after searching the internet for thirty minutes). When I finally laid down I was immediately asleep.

The next morning when I awoke I was surprised to find out I barely had time just to get ready for breakfast. I must have been tired after playing with Aether and Hermera. I ran to breakfast. I decided to sit with the same group as yesterday since I didn't put the table back to it's regular size. I didn't eat because I was instructed not to.

"So I heard that you had a great time with Aether and Hermera," Luke said. I nodded.

"We went and had fun the whole time."

"What did you do with the other three," Leo asked.

"I just spent my time talking with Nyx and Erebus. Unfortunately Tartarus didn't really have time to spend with me since the trouble with the monsters being taken by Destruction."

"What's around your neck," Silena asked catching sight of the metal.

"A charm necklace." I pulled it out to show them. "Each charm represents the five primordials.

"That is neat," Piper said. I nodded.

"So the gods today," Frank said. I nodded.

"Wish me luck." I laughed.

"The gods have gotten a lot better since you left Percy. They are better tempered," Hazel said. I nodded. I would have to see it to believe it. As Dean, I never was with the gods, except for Artemis. I had never met nor heard anything about them in that form. Once they finished breakfast I decided to get the ball rolling and flashed to the throne room. When I had woken up I there had been a note near my bed saying to meet Zeus there. When I got there I was surprised to see him in a pair of jeans and a white turtle neck. He looked to be in his early twenties matching with my age. He looked like a male model, wait did I just say that about my uncle? I had to be crazy.

"Ah Percy it is good to see you. I thought you would be more comfortable with me in this form." He smiled at me. I smiled back.

"Thank you Uncle. You are right it is more comfortable to see you in this form."

"Let's go somewhere more comfortable to talk." He flashed us off of Olympus to a really nice restaurant. "Order whatever you want Percy I figured we could eat and talk." I looked at the menu and decided that I wanted some pancakes, steak, fried potatoes, and biscuits. I was a hungry boy. I told Zeus and he ordered for me as he ordered two omelets and some bacon for himself with milk for me and orange juice for himself. Once he ordered he started to talk.

"I know that you and I have not always gotten along and I also know that it was my fault for this. I have always been an arrogant person. Someone who wanted power and did not want to share. This has caused me to be blind to many things with my narrow mindedness. For that I am sorry. I have already apologized to many that I have caused pain and suffering because of my arrogance. Today I want to apologize to you. If I wouldn't have been such a prick, you would have had a better life. Poseidon would have been able to stay with you when you were young and neither you nor Sally would have had to been tormented by the pig of a step-father you grew up with." I was shocked to say the least. The king of the gods apologizing to me. I would have never believed someone, not even Chaos, if they would have told me that this would ever happen. Thankfully to aid in my muddled mind the waitress came over with our food. After she left I talked.

"I accept your apology Uncle and am glad that you have come to see your errors. This knowledge that you are a better god will help me with my passing. I bet you will a better and wise ruler to come." He smiled at me as I started to eat.

"I am glad to hear you say that, but I have decided that I will not stay ruler. Once your battle with Destruction is over I have decided that I will step down and let all of the gods and goddesses vote who they want to be ruler. Even the minor ones." I stared at him in disbelief. This was something that had never been heard of, there had never been a vote before for leadership it had always been taken. I smiled at him.

"You have grown wiser Uncle. This will be the first ever time that leadership has been put to a vote." He nodded.

"There is one more thing. The last demigod I had was Jason. He has been and will always be the last of my demigods in both Roman and Greek form. I have pledged myself on Chaos to remain forever faithful to Hera."

"I bet she was excited for that." He nodded.

"Yes, once you sacrificed yourself the first time I realized how unfair I was being to my wife. By the second time you sacrificed yourself I pledged myself to her. She has been cheerful and happy ever since." By this time we both had finished our breakfasts. Zeus paid the bill and it was time to go see my other uncle.

"Before you leave I have noticed that the primordials have started a charm necklace. I also would like to place my token on it." With that a lightning bolt appeared on my necklace. I thanked him and headed to the Underworld. Both Hades and Persephone were both there.

"Welcome nephew. It is great to see you again," Hades said as he gave me a hugged. I hugged back.

"It is nice to see you also Uncle Hades, you too Aunt Persephone." She also came to hug me.

"As well you Percy."

"How have you guys been?"

"Rather well. Unlike Tartarus the Underworld has been running smoothly. As you know Nico had been helping me out a lot." I nodded. When I was Dean, after Nico and I had come back from the Army, Hades had asked for his help so from then on I spent much of my time with the Hunt and Natasha. It had taken a while for the Hunt to get used to me, but after all the years and the time I saved many of them, they got used to me.

"You know I never got a chance to thank you for giving me a throne on Olympus," Hades said. I smiled.

"There is no need to thank me for something that should have been yours to begin with." He shook his head.

"You're wrong, not only did you get Hestia and myself on the council but you changed many gods and goddesses for the better. That includes my once narrow minded brother. There is indeed a need to say thank you." I still didn't think he was right. "Instead of hang with us I decided to give you a gift, a nice surprise."

"You do not have to." He shook his head.

"You truly are generous nephew. Now before I give you the gift there has been a rumor going around that you have a charm necklace going around. Persephone and I would like to add to that if you do not mind."

"I do not mind." With that a skull and a rose appeared on the necklace. "Thank you both for everything." The both nodded and smiled. With a wave of his hand I was no longer in his palace. I was on a beach one that I recognized. It was the Montauk Beach that mom and I used to vacation at. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes thinking about her.

"Percy," a feminine voice said. I froze as I recognized the voice. "Percy?" I slowly turned around as the female said my name again. When I did I was looking at my Mom who had tears running down her face. I was still froze as she hugged me, only then did I unfreeze as I hugged her in a bear hug. I could feel the tears soaking my shirt as well as the ones running down my face. Once we could finally pull away she had a smile on her face.

"I am so happy to see you again Percy."

"Me too Mom." She frowned as my voice resided in her head.

"What is wrong Percy?" So I told her. I told her what had happened in Tartarus, I told her my time being spilt, I told her how I came back together, I told her of my time with Destruction, of my rescue, of my second split, and finally ending with my final battle with Destruction. By the time I was done she was crying again, but this time for me.

"Please don't cry Mom. I am fine. Just a little broken. Nothing too serious." She shook her head as she hugged me again.

"No Percy it isn't alright. The Fates have given you a hard life."

"I wouldn't been able to make it through it without you Mom. There was never a day that I didn't think about you." That made her cry harder. I hugged her again. That's when Hades popped in.

"I am sorry to break you two up, but it is time to move on Percy." I nodded. He had already given me the best gift, he even went against the laws and did this for me. I turned to Mom.

"I love you and I hope that you find peace in your next life."

"I love you too Percy. You are the best son that a mother could ever ask for." I hugged her one last time and turned to Hades.

"Thank you."

"Nothing you didn't deserve." With that he flashed us out and I was now in a cottage with a fire.

"Ah Percy it is nice to see you." I turned to see Hestia. I smiled.

"Lady Hestia." She glared at me and shook her head.

"You know there is no need to call me that, Hestia will do or Aunt Hestia." I smiled at her and she returned the gesture.

"So Aunt Hestia what do you have planned for our time together?"

"I thought I would let you decided Percy." That is how we ended up baking for our time together. Being with Mom made me want her cookies and Hestia was more than willing to bake with me. When time ran out for us to be together she let me take what we had made with me.

"Thank you Percy for always being respectful to me and others. You have a golden heart one that is warm and always carries Hope."

"Thank you Aunt Hestia for everything. Many people do not realize how truly strong of a person you are. I am sorry for their mistake." A tear fell from her left eye. We hugged for a moment and then pulled away.

"One more thing before you go. I have to add my charm." A fire charm was added to my necklace and with that I was surrounded by warm and comforting flames. When they were gone I was standing in a library, there was no guess to who I was visiting next. There was a noise and I turned to find Athena looking at me with an amused look on her face.

"Hello Percy."

"Hello Athena. How have you been?"

"Very well. I have been helping with the battle plans for going against Destruction's army." Just like her to do that. "Percy I would like to thank you for everything you did for my daughter. I know at first I did not approve of your relationship, but I will admit that even if she has Aiden now, you were the best boyfriend she could ever ask for. You were always loyal to her and always put her before yourself. Thank you for treating my daughter so well."

"You do not have to thank me for that Athena. I loved Annabeth and a part of me always will. Before I go I will make sure we have some closure."

"That is very smart of you Percy. Now I have something to ask you. Would you mind sharing your life story with me so I can write it for the generations to come? We have stories to tell them, but I would like to hear them come from you." I nodded and for the second time that day I retold my story, this time it was a little more in depth than the previous time I had told Mom. Thankfully Athena was a fast writer so it didn't take over our allotted time.

"You have had a very interesting and very troubled life Perseus Jackson. I hope after this final battle that you are granted peace." I smiled at her. I hoped so as well.

"Thank you for taking the time to write down my story. It was an honor to tell it."

"I think it is time to give you another charm and send you on your way." A book charm was added and then in a fury of papers I was teleported to a field of wheat. I knew who was next. I turned to find Demeter.

"Hello Lady Demeter."

"Hello Percy. Demeter will do just fine."

"Well Demeter I hope you have been fine."

"Very much so. I have you to thank. You have helped my children be respected, something that I had always wanted."

"It is nothing to thank, for it was something that always should have been." She shook her head.

"Well Percy I would like to offer you two things. The first a charm to go along with your necklace," a bundle of wheat appeared on the necklace," and next a plant of your choosing. It shall be your symbol."

"Why do I need a symbol?" I was confused.

"It is just something that I would like to honor you with."

"Thank you Demeter."

"In your words, there is no need to thank me." She smiled and I smiled back.

"So how do we do this?" She gave me a seed.

"This seed is a blank, or just a shell. There is no life in it. All you have to do is concentrate on it and send some of your aura into it. The rest will happen naturally." I nodded and did as she said. I closed my eyes and thought of my entire life in a brief moment and poured all my emotions and self into the seed.

"Wow." I heard Demeter say. I opened my eyes to see the most different kind of flower I had ever saw. Usually a flower had few colors to it and even if it did there wasn't much variance. Usually a different shade or just dots of other colors. This flower did not follow that pattern, there were many different colors in this flower. It was shaped like a rose, but the petals were more pointed than round, the flower's main color was blue, but then it had spirals of white and dots of black. The stem was a dark red with thorns and had dark purple leaves. (Okay I got to admit I am just putting colors together. Sue me.)

"It is beautiful Percy. May I see it to tell you what its attributes are?" I nodded and handed the flower to her. Her face turned into a thoughtful look for a moment and then she nodded.

"This flower blooms all year around. It will only grow in what mortals consider sacred places. Cemeteries, temples, churches, those types of places. It will be a flower that is highly respected throughout the world."

"It is the strangest flower I have ever seen."

"It is a unique flower, like you are a unique being." That kinda made sense.

"Well Percy there is nothing more to do here, it is time to be on your way." With that wheat spun around me until I found myself in the sky. Not like on Olympus in the sky, just in the sky with clouds and the sun around me. I freaked out for a moment as I fell until I let my wings appear and catch me. I was now happier than now to have wings that I could control. I heard an engine rev up and I turned to see a red Porsche. Apollo stepped out with a bright smile. He shut the door and the car started to move by itself.

"Hello Perce."  Before I could say anything I heard a zipping wind stop behind me. I drew my sword on reflex and faced what was behind me. I found a smiling Hermes. I sheathed my sword, oh great these two together could be sometimes like the Stoll brothers.

"Hermes, Apollo it is nice to see both of you. I hope you've both been well."

"Just busy like usual," Hermes retorted. "Seems like my job is never done."

"Same here," Apollo said, "but none of that right now. We decided to join up on our times to have a little fun."

"What did you have in mind?" Our surrounding changed and along with it came a lot of noise.

"Welcome to Germany Percy," Apollo announced. I looked around to find us in the pits of a race track. There were fast cars and many people running around.

"What is going on?" Both of them smiled reminding me of the Stoll brothers, though since one of them was their father that made some what of sense.

"We are at the Nürburging race track, one of the best places to race is a track that has sharp turns, a long straight away and many more surprises. It can take eight minutes to go around depending on how fast you are driving. The shortest time has been six minutes and forty eight seconds, in a car that has wheels. We want to see if we can beat the record," Hermes said. This sounded kind of dangerous, I was so ready to do this.

"So how are we doing this? Are we picking certain cars? Are there powers involved or not? What are the rules?"

"Someone is excited to do this," Apollo chuckled. Hades yes I was. It wasn't every day I got to have fun like this.

"To answer your questions Percy," Hermes said, "we pick whatever car we want but old school. None of them flying cars. We want to have some fun without flying for once. We will start at the beginning of the track and there will only be us three. So it is not only a race to see who gets best time, but it also a race between us. There is no foul play, so no powers. This is just good ol racing. So pick your car and let's get to it." He snapped his fingers and we were now at the starting line. There was no one else around but us and one other on a stand. I looked up to see Luke.

"What are you doing here Luke?" He laughed and was holding a white flag.

"I get to be the judge today." I nodded. Suddenly a bright red Porsche 918 Spyder was next to me with Apollo inside. I look over to find a bright yellow Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR next to me. They both picked good cars. I smiled. Unknown to them I had played retro racing games when I was in the Army, I think it was called Gran Trismo. Luke had liked to play this game. Seeing him here gave me the idea. I closed my eyes and pictured a car that at the time had just been vision, someone's dream. When I opened them a sleek black car was in front of me. I heard a whistle from Luke.

"Isn't that cheating Percy," he asked, "I mean the Red Bull car is a fan car. It was also never really a real car. By the time mortals had the ability to make it they were making cars that flew instead."

"They just said that it had to old school in driving, that it couldn't fly. They never said that it had to be a real car." He shrugged. 

"Just remember that in the game it cornered sharply, speed up quickly, and stuck to the ground. I know that being blessed by Chaos gives you superior abilities, but just be careful." I nodded and got in. That was when something popped up beside me with a loud rumble from an engine. 

"Don't forget me Punk." Ares was sitting on his motorcycle. "Yer never going to beat me." He revved his engine again.

"Glad you could make it Ares."  Before anything else could be said Luke waved the flag. It was a little weird being in a car, seeing how I hadn't driven in thousands of years. There had been no need between the training and torturing. I saw Luke wave the flag and we sped off. My car lurched forward as the slightest touch to the accelerator made the car go fast. In no time I was going over a hundred miles per hour. There were a few close calls with going out of control at first, since I wasn't used to it, but after a fourth of the track was down I was making her purr. With all the trouble I had had the three gods were in front of me, but not for long as I stood on it and made the turns quickly. By the halfway mark I was caught up with them. I could see scrape marks on Apollo's and Hermes cars as they kept Ares at bay.  If I remembered correctly someone had said that "rubbings racing". It seems like Apollo and Hermes took that to heart as both of their cars were no longer flawless. I had no intention in getting in their little wrestling match with their cars. I preferred mine to look nice. I quickly passed them in a corner that they were trying to block each other, not even noticing me until it was too late. It was quite shocking to them as I saw their faces in the review mirrors. It looked like their wrestling match was done as they tried to catch up with me. It was useless, however. I left them in the dust as was soon on the long straight away. If I remembered correctly from playing Gran Trismo there was some nasty turns at the end of the straight away and then there was the tail. I slowed down as I neared the end of the strait and then finished the track. I saw Luke waving the flag as I raced past the line. I stopped the car and got out before I made it disappear to made it over to Luke.

"That was an awesome race Percy! I never thought I would actually get to see that car race!"

"It took me a little bit to get used to it."

"That was still awesome! You beat the other two and your time was six minutes and twenty eight seconds! You beat the time!" That was when we heard two more engines coming our way. We looked to see Apollo and Hermes neck and neck and that is how they crossed the finish line, Ares coming a little behind and furious.

"What was their times?"

"Six minutes and forty seven seconds. They barely beat the time that was set." I smiled at this as the two gods got out of their cars making them disappear also.

"Yer a cheat," Ares grunted. His face was red, but he didn't yell.

"That was cheating Percy," Hermes grumpily agreed.

"Yeah, there has never been a car made like that," Apollo exclaimed. I raised my hands.

"Hey you guys said it had to have wheels. Not flying. That is exactly what I did. I just happened to play a video game with Luke and knew about a fast car. It was never against the rules to take a car out of a video game." They both still grumbled.

"Hey why don't we take this off planet and go race other places?" This seemed to perk them up. So that's what we did. Luke had things to do so he couldn't come, but I took the three gods around different planets in the Universe to race. By the end of our time together the three had totally forgotten the race on Earth. I teleported us back to Olympus when we were done.

"That was amazing Percy!" Apollo was jumping up and down like a little kid.

"I haven't had that much fun in a while," Hermes said. "Thank you Percy."

 "Yer not bad Punk." I smiled at the three gods.

"Thank you ." They  suddenly turned serious. Apollo came up to me.

"Percy I want to thank you for all that you have done for us. You helped save us many times over. You protected and saved my sister. I am sorry there isn't more that I can do for you."

"There is no need to thank me. I just do what is right." Apollo gave me a smiled and then touched his pointer finger to where my necklace was. A treble cleft appeared on the necklace. He flashed out leaving Hermes and myself. He walked over to me.

"Thank you Percy you helped my child when he was in pain and suffering. Instead of letting him die as a villain you let him die as a hero. There is no way I can ever repay you back for that."

"Luke was always a hero, he just needed push to see that. A push doesn't deserve thanks. It is hardly anything after all." He shook his head and pointed at my necklace, his signature shoes appeared on it.

"Everything deserves a thank you Percy." With that he flashed out and it was finally Ares and I.

"We have a moment left wanna finally have that rematch?" I smirked, I knew that he wouldn't be able to hold back. In our last fifteen minutes we fought. I all reality I could have had him on the ground in seconds, but I wanted to last so I made it a fair fight by restricting myself. In the end I still beat him. Ares ended up on his ass, panting.

"Looks like I still loss." I was very surprised to hear this, Ares not getting throwing a temper tantrum because he was beat. It seemed that Hazel was right, the gods had changed. I smiled and helped him up.

"It was a good fight." He laughed. 

"I be you coulda had me on my ass sooner if ya woulda been goin full out." I smiked.

"Maybe."  With that he snapped his fingers and a battle ax charm appeared. 

"Good luck Punk." Wit that he was gone and I wondered who would pop in next. Two slender arms appeared on my shoulders and snaked down my chest. The only thing that didn't make me turn to kill was that I knew the arms were from a woman.

"Hello Percy," a musical voice said. I turned, but she somehow kept her arms on me.

"Hello Aphrodite. It is nice to see you again." She giggled and stood on her tip toes to give me a kiss on the cheek.

"It is nice to see you also."

"So what do you want to do today?"

"I thought about giving you a makeover today. We can go and shop and then get your hair done." I was worried. She tended to go overboard.

"You mean we are going to take him out," a new feminine voice appeared. I turned my head to see Hera. She was smiling at me.

"Hello Percy." I smiled back, a little worried. I wasn't on the greatest terms with her last we met.

"Hello Hera. How are you?"

"I am doing well Percy." Aphrodite giggled.

"I should say she is doing well. Her and her little one." I was confused.

"Aphrodite please, I want to do this on my terms." Surprisingly Aphrodite nodded and moved away from me as Hera came over. She gave me a hug, which I returned. I guess she was fine with me now. She made it so her mouth was at my ear.

"I decided to come with you because I know how Aphrodite could get." I instantly felt grateful.

"Thank you," I thought so only she could hear. She smiled at me.

"Come on you two. Even if we combined our times I still want to get the ball a rolling. Let's go with new hair and then we can get clothes to match." I had no idea what was wrong with my black outfit. It was comfortable, held weapons, and allowed me to easily fight. Oh well, I would do this to make her happy. There was no harm in it. We were flashed in a corner. Aphrodite and Hera made themselves look younger to match my age. Aphrodite was wearing for whatever passed as stylish these days and Hera was in a simple white dress with white sandals. Aphrodite dragged me out of the corner and I found out that we were in a mall full of people running around. I was so shocked at the way everything now looked that I paused for a second and stared.

"Much has changed, hasn't Percy," Hera said in a low voice. I nodded.

"Come on," Aphrodite said with a hard tug. I allowed her to pull me along until we got into a shop. I could smell all the products as we entered. (Okay I used google translator so don't get too upset if it is wrong)

"Bonjour.Que puis-je faire pour vous? (Hello. What can I do for you?)," a girl said with a warm smile. When she saw Aphrodite her smile grew even bigger.

"Ravi de te voir Maman. (Nice to see you again Mom.)" Aphrodite smiled.

"Percy this is my daughter Sonya. She owns this beauty salon." I nodded to the girl.

"Oh right," Aphrodite said she leaned close to Sonya to whisper to her, but I could still hear what she said.

"Percy has a thing where he can't communicate out loud, he can however talk to you in your mind." "Hello Sonya," I said with that explained. Sonya tensed a little, but smiled at me.

"Hello Percy." She switched to English. Her eyes lit up as it seemed like she realized something.

"Mom isn't Percy the name of the Hero of camp. Percy Jackson?"

"I don't know about hero, but I am Percy Jackson." Her eyes grew wide at hearing this and her mouth opened and closed. I chuckled so that they could hear it.

"Well Sonya we don't have a lot of time, but I would like you to do his hair." Sonya's attention immediately went to her mother.

"What kind of looking am I giving him?"

"Something dressy." Sonya looked at me and then went back to the salon, which was filled with people working and getting their hair, nails, and whatever else done.

"Trishe," Sonya called out. Another girl came over to Sonya.

"Oui Madame (Yes Ma'am)?"

"Je veus que vous annulez mon prochain rendez-vous pour la preochaine heure, je dois un invite plus important. Demandez à la Dame de reconduire pour la prochaine heire. Je veux tout mon calendrier cogné le dos. (I want you to cancel my next appointment for the next hour I have a more important guest have the Lady to reappoint for the next hour. I want my whole schedule bumped back.)" Trishe looked at her wide eyed. I guess this never happened. "Eh bien Trishe (Well Trishe)?"

"Oui Madame (Yes Ma'am)." Trishe went and scurried off. I felt bad about everyone's appointment getting wet back.

"I am sorry for messing up your day." Sonya waved it off.

"I can do the CEO's and other leader's hair any day of the week, I cannot however do the greatest Hero to ever live hair. Follow me to a more private set up that I use for my special clients." We followed her to private room, it was like a mini hair salon.

"Sit sit, no time to waste." And that is how I ended up getting my hair done with Aphrodite commenting and moving around her daughter, while Hera relaxed in a chair. By the time Sonya was done with my hair Aphrodite was jumping like a demigod after drinking an energy drink, which was not good. It happened me by a dare from the Stolls. Let say after an hour the camp had to lock me up for two days until I calmed down and slept for a day. I shivered internally remembering.

"Here you go," Sonya said twirling me around to a mirror. My hair was actually tamed with the products she used. Since my hair had been on the longer side she had trimmed it and now it looked really nice. She had put some highlights in my hair, but nothing to flashy just a little lighter than my normal hair color. I was impressed. I expected a blue or bright blonde when she had foiled my hair.

"Thank you Sonya it looks awesome." She smiled at me.

"Not a problem Percy." She cleaned me up so I could stand.

"Doesn't he look delicious," Aphrodite said. Hera rolled her eyes, but was smiling.

"Well Percy it was nice to finally meet the Hero I heard all the stories about when I went to Camp. I hope to see you again." I smiled, but I noticed the two goddesses frown.

"I am sorry to say that won't be possible. I will not survive the week." She gave me a look of horror.

"What?"

"It seems like I need to take care of one more enemy before I can rest." Tears started to form in her eyes. No I didn't want this, I just didn't want her to be expecting something that was never going to happen. I enveloped her in a hug.

"Don't be sad Sonya. It is just time for me to finally rest." I heard her sniffle and felt her nod.

"If anyone deserves a rest it is you." We pulled apart from another. She smiled at me.

"Until the Underworld then." I smiled not telling her anymore, so I wouldn't upset her any more than I already had. 

"Until we meet again." We hugged again and I now led two sullen goddesses out of the salon. I turned to them once we were out.

"Come on Ladies. Remember good time today. So Aphrodite was is next?" I just really wanted them to cheer up. 

"Let's visit my son next. I already set something up." We walked out of the mall and onto the streets of Paris. Aphrodite seemed to have her spark back as she led us around. She pointed out a couple things as we went along until we came up to a clothing shop. The shop had super nice dresses and suits. Oh crap, she had said dressy. Why were they dressing me up so nicely? Aphrodite led us into a shop where we were greeted by a male and a female. The male spoke up, I am guessing it was because there were two females and one male in our group.

"Bienvenue! Comment puis-je vous aider. (Welcome. How can we help you)?"

"Je voudrais larler avec Monsieur Matthieu (I would like to speak with Mr. Matthieu.) The male and female looked at another.

"Monsieur Matthieu est occupé pouvons-nous vous aider (Mr. Matthieu is busy can we help you)?" The male said. Aphrodite huffed.

"Écoutez ici, je ne les soins. Si vous tenez à votre travail le chercher maintenant (Listen Here, I don't care. If you value your job get him now.) I guess he liked his job as he scurried off. After a moment the male and another male, this one older and with a more mature air came to us.

"Que se passe-t-il (What is going on)? The new male asked. He didn't seem happy until he seen Aphrodite and his whole deposition changed, it went from a person in charge to a person ready to listen to whatever he was told. His employees seemed to notice the difference. He turned to the other two.

"J' ai Obtenu Cette. Allez aider d'auters clients (I got this. Go help other customers.) The two scurried off.

"Sorry Mother. I got caught up in my work." Aphrodite smiled at him. He switched to English.

"It's alright. I understand that. Do you have what I ordered ready?" He smiled.

"Of course. May I ask who is so important that you had me rush order something in the past day and a half?" Aphrodite pulled me forward.

"Matthieu meet Percy Jackson. Percy meet my son Matthieu. He is one of the top designers in the world." I smiled at him as his eyes widened.

"Hello Matthieu." He jumped.

"Are you the Percy Jackson?" I gave a small nod. He gave me a big grin.

"Man you were my Hero when I was growing up. Everyone, including myself, wanted to be as loyal and brave as you are."

"I am not that great."

"It seems just as modest as the stories said too. Well Percy let's go try on your suit. It should fit perfectly though. Mom gave me your measurements and she is never wrong." He led us to the back of the store into a fitting room. "I will be right back." He left.

"It seems like your children are doing well Aphrodite." She was beaming at this.

"Yes, not only in my domain, but thanks to you they are also better fighters. I must thank you for that. My children were never the best in a battle, but you and Piper changed that. Now they can hold their own without putting others in danger to protect them."

"It was more Piper that me." She didn't say anything, but just gave me a look. Matthieu came back in with a dark charcoal suit in his hand.

"Try this on." The undershirt was black and the tie was dark blue. I put it on and everything fit like a glove. It was weird having on a suit, but if fit properly.

"Ah shoes." Matthieu left again and returned with dress shoes for me to put on.

"You did great Matthieu," Aphrodite squealed as she circled me.

"Thank you Mom. What do you think Percy?" I smiled at him.

"This is great. Thank you very much. I hope it wasn't too much trouble." He waved me off.

"Trust me I have had harder things to work on. I should be thanking you for coming to me. It is an honor." I blushed and they all laughed at me.

"We must be going. We three have one more stop."

"Well then it was an honor to meet you Percy. Always nice to see you Lady Hera and Mom please stop by anytime."

"Will do," Aphrodite said and we left the store. We walked out and there was a limo waiting on us.

"Let's go." We piled in.

"Thank you very much both of you."

"It isn't as much as we wish we could do," Hera said. Aphrodite nodded.

"Well my time with you is up. When the limo stops it will just be you and Hera getting out." I looked from Aphrodite to Hera. Her dress had changed to match my suit and her form seemed more mature then the younger girl form she had been using.

"One more thing," Aphrodite said and I turned back to her. A pink poof appeared at my neck. A red heard with a gold arrow through it appeared on my necklace. "Thank you for everything Percy." She gave me a kiss on the cheek and flashed out before I could say anything.

"She was well behaved today," Hera said.

"That she was." I turned to her. "So what are we doing now?"

"We are going to go eat and talk for the remainder of our time." It must be a fancy place the way we were dressed. As the limo slowed to a stop and I looked out I found out I was right. It was a fancy place as a doorman opened the door for us.

"Madam, Monsieur," he said. I got out and helped Hera out. The limo pulled away as we linked arms and went into the restaurant. We were given a private room. We both ordered (sorry out of ideas) and decided to talk.

"What would you like to talk about Hera?" She smiled at me.

"I first would like to thank you. You changed my husband into a better man. He no longer has affairs with other woman and is strictly committed to me. If it weren't for you this would have never happened and I would have always been miserable as he cheated on me constantly."

"He just needed a big shove in the right direct. I just happened to be that annoying shove." We both giggled. Surprisingly our food arrived. That didn't take very long. He waiter left and Hera must have noticed my confusion.

"I made sure that our food would be made quickly. We don't have forever." I nodded and started to eat the delicious food. We fell into a comfortable silence. Once the food was gone, Hera ordered two special drinks. When they arrived she talked again.

"Shall we give a toast?" I smiled.

"What for?"

"The future." I nodded and we gave a toast to the future. After taking a drink she sat down her cup.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you Percy. It is something that only Aphrodite knows because of her domain. I am pregnant Percy." I smiled and felt overjoyed at hearing this.

"Congratulations Hera. Do you know whether boy or girl?" She shook her head.

"Apollo or Artemis would know, but I haven't told anybody but you. I don't want it interfering with the war. I only found out two days before you returned. I was going to tell Zeus when you appeared again with Chaos." I nodded.

"Whatever the gender, I bet your child will grow up to be a great god or goddess." Hera smiled.

"Thanks you they will. I was wondering if you will bless the child."

"It would be a privilege to do so." I blessed the child within Hera.

"Thank you Percy." I shook my head.

"You really shouldn't. It is nothing special, not as much as the child inside you." She just gave me a smile. She pointed at my chest and a peacock feather appeared on my necklace.

"You have others to meet, no sense in keeping them waiting." With that she flashed us both out. She probably went home to rest while I ended up in a workshop. Guess I know who I am visiting next, thankfully I was back in my other outfit so I wouldn't get the suit dirty, but my hair was still styled.

"Hey Percy," the loud and gruff voice of Hephaestus rang throughout the workshop. I looked around to find him working on something.

"Hello Hephaestus. It is good to see you."

"Good to see you to my boy. Now would you mid giving me a hand?" We immediately continued his work. I did whatever he told me to do and even though I was helping build the contraption I had no idea what it was. There was music playing in the background, but other than that and the messing with tools we didn't make a sound. When the box contraption was finally done Hephaestus looked at it proudly.

"That was hard."

"What is it?" He help up his finger and turned away from me for a moment. When he turned back he held the contraption out to me.

"It is something that Chaos asked me to give to you. He told me to tell you that you would know when to open it." I took it confused. It shrank into a bracelet on my arm.

"What is that supposed to mean and how do I open it?" Hephaestus shrugged.

"I don't know the meaning. If you want it opened all you have to do is think about it becoming a box again and then think about it opening for you. It will only open for you." I nodded. And placed the bracelet on.

"Well Percy I won't keep you too much longer. I wanted to thank you though. You helped shape Leo into the person he is today and you held up Charles as a great hero. My children and I are indebted to you."

"No, they are great people. It had nothing to do with me." He smiled.

"You were always humble. Well you have two more stops. I'll send you off." With that I disappeared and reappeared at a place I least expected. A party. I flashed into a party.

"Peter Johnson," I heard. I turned to find Dionysus. He looked to be jolly.

"Mr. D." He smiled.

"Would you like to join us?" I smiled. Even though this was supposed to be a fun time I really didn't feel like partying. He seemed to notice this.

"Maybe a movie?" I smiled. I knew the exact one. That is how Mr. D and I ended up flashing out of the party to an empty movie theater to watch Finding Nemo. Mr. D fell asleep, but I didn't care. I was watching my favorite movie again. I loved it and when it was over Mr. D woke up.

"Movie over?" I was so happy that I hugged him

"Thank you Mr. D." He froze for a second, but hugged me back.

"You are welcome Percy. I should be the one thanking you." I shook my head as I parted from him. He smiled and a purple flash appeared on my neck. A vine a grapes appeared on my necklace.

"Well it is time for your last meeting." With that I was in the woods and the moon was shining above me.

"Hello Percy," Artemis said as she walked up to me. She was in a teenage for wearing huntress gear.

"Hello Artemis. It is nice to see you when I am whole again." She laughed.

"To think I had a part of you near my hunt constantly since Natasha joined." I frowned. I wondered how she was. Seeming to read my mind Artemis told me about Natasha. "When she found out her best friend was a part of the soul of the Hero Percy Jackson she couldn't believe it. Now I think she is mad because you haven't seen her yet."

"That isn't my fault," I responded, "There are many people that want to see me." Artemis nodded.

"That is true. You will see her tomorrow thought correct?"

"The Army, Campers, and Hunt are all how I am spending time with tomorrow. I am hoping to play Capture the Flag or something with everyone the next day before we have to start preparing."

"I will make sure something is said so that it comes true."

"Thank you. So what are you and me going to do?"

"I thought since you had a busy day you wouldn't mind just relaxing and talking. After all you, well a part of you, has seen me much. It seems in no matter what form you take or even if you are partial you almost always get me to like you. The exception was when you were Ani̱leí̱s."

"I don't think anyone liked me then, including myself. I was in such pain and fury. I couldn't handle it. I am sorry."

"There is no need to apologize Percy, not after everything you have been through, most of us are surprised you are still sane after all you have been through. I don't think any other person could have done that." I shrugged. I didn't think it was that great, especially since going insane would have canceled out the pain. The Fates didn't like me that is all I can think of.

"Well Artemis I thank you for putting up with me all the times I have visited, I mean I am male no less and even as Dean you decided you liked me and tolerated me."

"You are just so likeable," she said smiling and then we both busted out laughing, well her out loud and me internally. The last part seemed to somber her up.

"I can't believe how you lost your voice. I know you didn't have one as Dean either, but know that you are Percy it seems weird. It is somewhat upsetting that I won't get to hear you out loud again."

"It is a small price to pay to see you all again."

"That's just the thing nothing you have sacrificed has been a small price. You get dragged into a war that you think you will most likely die from and during the years waiting for that you get sent on several risky quests. The next thing you know is that you have your memories taken away from you for eight months with the beginning of another Great Prophecy. You make friends and go on more risky quests, including falling into Tartarus. You then sacrifice yourself to take Gaea out only to be tortured for thousands of years and then have your soul split for thousands of years. You are again captured and tortured only to come back and have to sacrifice yourself again, but this time getting the reward of being blasted out of the Universe. All the prices have been big Percy, you are the unluckiest, bravest, loyalist, selfless, person that has and will ever live in the whole Universe." By the time she was done I was blushing from all the compliments she had given me.

"I doubt in the Universe and I don't think all of those compliments are true, after all I did split for a reason the first time. To end the pain and look what happened I put you all in a terrible position. I almost killed my Dad."

"You set us on the track for the coming war and even though we didn't know we needed then it was the best thing you could have done for us. We are now ready to face whatever comes out way." I really just wanted to drop the subject.

"So what charm are you going to give me Artemis? A wolf, a moon, or a bow and arrow?" This took her off the other topic like I wanted as she thought about it.

"It is between a wolf or a crescent moon, which would you prefer?" I looked up at the starts and saw Zoe's constellation. I had always liked looking up into space, being with Chaos had made the even more of a pleasure since I was constantly able to do so.

"The moon if you wouldn't mind. I love to look up into space." She nodded and a crescent moon appeared on my necklace. "Thank you." She smiled.

"It is the least I could do. After all you done for the family and for me, including holding up the sky. There will never be another male that I hold in more respect then you Percy Jackson." I nodded and a sea breeze drifted in. My Dad appeared.

"Time to end the day son. You have much to do for the rest of the week, you need your sleep." I gave a chuckle, he was acting like I was twelve.

"Yes Dad." I turned to Artemis. "Good night Artemis." She hugged me, surprising me.

"Good night Percy." She let go and Dad flashed both of us to our cabin.

"Before I say good night it seems I have missed out on something." He looked at my necklace and a surfboard appeared on it. "There." I smiled.

"Couldn't be left out could we?" He laughed.

"Good night son." He hugged me. I yawned and got ready to sleep. When I finally made it to bed I instantly fell asleep.

This one is now edited too. Please tell me if I have missed anything. This one was a long chapter and I probably did.
