It was a beautiful day, the summer after the Giant War, it started out peaceful and sunny.

Only to have the day turn stressful, confusing, and cloudy.

In the dining pavilion at lunch, Annabeth sat at her mother's table thinking of a day during last year.

The day before Percy and Annabeth were going to leave Camp Half-Blood for his mother's apartment.

Annabeth sighed. She remembers that day. And, all the emotions...

Annabeth was sitting at her mother's table in the dining pavilion during breakfast last September, waiting for her seaweed brain.

Her seaweed brain.

She smiled at the thought. The Giant War is over.

No one is threatening them. Peace at last.

Until the next war that wouldn't happen for decades or a century, at least. But, knowing their luck, soon.

Annabeth was knocked out of her thoughts by Piper walking up to her table.

"Hey Annabeth, have you seen Percy?" Piper asked, once she reached the table.

Annabeth grew slightly worried. "No. Have you checked his cabin?"

Piper looked uneasy. She took a deep breath and 'ripped the band aid', as they say. "He isn't there."

After Piper said that, the whole camp started looking. Everyone who was contacted from when Percy went missing the first time, was contacted again.

The results were the same. No one knew where Percy was.

Even after almost a year looking. No success.

That's when the day changed. The campers heard a crackling sound from Thalia's pine and immediately ran over.

Not fully knowing what was in store. They had no idea what was coming.

Until it was too late.
