~Percy's POV~

While Nico had ranted about my fourth quest, I had a feeling that he wanted to say more. Or there was more he didn't say, he did seem at a breaking point after all. I did feel touch that he would say those things about me. I'm glad I got through to him that he belongs at camp.

"No. If I'm right, once we are finished with this quest we will get a break."

"You sure?" I asked, Nico only gave me a stare.

I nodded to myself. "Then, I guess it's time for my fifth quest." Nods were given around the room, I noticed a few goddess' were staring at me with approval?

Before I could continue a note appeared. It fell down onto Lady Athena's lap. She looked down at it with a frown. She cleared her throat. "It reads; 'Due to recent events, Perseus will be reciting the prophecy and meaning, then state the next great prophecy.' That's it." She looked over the paper to see nothing else.

I blinked. "Okay, um, well, for those who don' t know the prophecy it's,

A half-blood of the eldest gods

Shall reach sixteen against all odds

And see the world in endless sleep,

The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap

A single choice shall end his days,

Olympus to preserve or raze."

I stopped to let the prophecy sink in. "The first and second line was about me turning sixteen. The third describes the city as we battled Kronos and his army." I took a deep breath to get out my next words.

"The last three lines are about Luke, Son of Hermes."

Hermes looked confused. "I thought Luke was-"

"-Luke died a hero." Nico spoke up. "He wasn't perfect, he did some bad things, but he was a hero in the end. He went for rebirth after he died to stop Kronos. He was Kronos' host."

"Luke did what?" Annabeth asked, tears threatening to spill.

"We didn't say half the things that happened during my quests because of what Luke did. He was misguided, he intentions were pure though. He died making me promise that the children of the gods wouldn't end up like him."

"Percy was offered godhood, but turned it down in favor of getting a wish that no child would be ignored and they would be claimed by thirteen." Nico added onto my explanation.

"He did? Why am I not surprised?" Thalia commented sarcastically.

I pouted. "Thanks, Thals. I appreciate it."

She smirked. "You really don't change. How does Annabeth deal with you?" She laughed.

"MY DAUGHTER IS DATING A SON OF POSEIDON?!"

"MY SON IS DATING A DAUGHTER OF ATHENA?!"

"I'M DATING YOU IN THE FUTURE?!" Were the questions that was shouted after Thalia's comment. It also caused a lot of laughter. Nico even smiled.

"What was the plan that you were talking about, Son of Hades?" Lady Hestia asked, peacefully sitting at the Hearth like she has been this whole time.

"I found out that Luke was invulnerable because of the River Styx. I told Percy that he would of had to dip in the Styx as well." Nico answered.

I smiled at the memory. "Wasn't the best idea."

Nico laughed a little. "You came flying out of the water, threatened my dad, then left the underworld after destroying my dad's army. You beat my dad and Kronos, it was the best idea we had at the time." I mockingly glared at him.

"The fifth quest was a war-"

"-how many died?"

I stopped what I was doing, remembering all the fallen demigods. "Beckendorf, Silena, Michael, Ethan, Luke, and so many others, they died as heroes. Demigods on both sides dying, it was painful."

The atmosphere changed to depressing at my words.

Lady Aphrodite looked at me. "How are you and Annabeth?"

I smiled. "We started dating a few months ago. I took her to Paris for our one month anniversary."

Thalia snorted. "You didn't." I nodded. "She rant about the architecture?"

"She wouldn't be Annabeth if she didn't." I laughed fondly. Lady Athena looked pleased for a moment after I said that.

Apollo looked curious. "And the next great prophecy?"

"Seven half-bloods shall answer the call,

To storm or fire, the world must fall." I started.

"An oath to keep with a final breath,

And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death." Nico finished, looking down.

"And that means?" My dad asked.

I opened my mouth, but a few flashes of light stopped me.

"PERCY?!"

"Thalia?"

"Jason?!"

"Nico?"

"Hazel!"

"Frank?"

"LEO!"

Everyone paused, looking at the boy who shouted that last name.

"Only you, Leo..."

"Is that a ghost?!"

Well, after over a year of writing (not really, but that's how long the book was published for), I am happy/sad to say this is the last chapter (though this book went through college/my senior year of high school, and two relationships, I am so bad at updating!). I had so much fun writing this even with the short chapters, I still am proud of it. I know this was short, though to me it was a sweet and chaotic ending that I was going for.

The sequel won't be out for awhile, I'm working on publishing an original story through Amazon (not confirmed yet), along with my other fanfictions I am writing.

Thank you for sticking with me! Hope you enjoyed this book!
