Aftermath
Chapter 1
I guess you could say they won, The half-bloods and the Olympians that is, but as Percy sat on the front porch of the big house staring blankly into the distance he didn’t feel like they had won. Yes, Hera had been freed from her prison, death had been put back in his place, the doors of death had been closed, and Gaea had been defeated, but no one was celebrating.
At sing along the night before there was no laughter, no singing, no victory cries, only silence occasionally interrupted by a gentle sobbing. The remaining half blood from the prophecy along with nico, Rachel, and Reyna sat near the center with Percy and Jason in the middle of them all. the two boys, neither of them even 18 yet, kept straight faces, didn’t let their emotions show despite the fact they had both lost the people they loved most. They couldn’t show weakness, the other campers were relying on them to stay strong and they had to. When Chiron nodded at Percy, he stood at the cent slowly turning in circles to take in the stricken faces of the half-bloods, both Greek and Roman, before speaking in a steady, cold, voice
“You are all the finest half-bloods I have ever met, you all held you own in that battle and I know what you’re feeling right now, how in the world are we going to come back from this? How are we going to make it through without all the people we lost? Piper, Thalia, annabeth” Percy choked on the last name but continued
“ and so many others. We’ll come back from this, because we’re stronger than this, we’ll come back because if we don‘t this victory was for nothing. Are you going to give the giants, the Titans, Gaea, and Tartarus the pleasure of seeing us fail from our losses?” There were a lot of heads shaking and a few mutters of “no” Jason stood up next to Percy and said
“He’s right, tomorrow morning training starts back. Romans, train before breakfast Greeks after. I will be up bright and early waiting for you. Anyone who is late has double training, Greek and Roman and Percy and I will not go easy on you. We need to get back on the horse and this is for the best.” There were a few groans but for the most part no one protested. Percy was only half listening but they two had talked about it before hand. They both needed to train to stay sane and they decided it would help the other kids as well.
The two boys sat down and Chiron dismissed them and the camper walked back to their cabins talking quietly. Percy and Jason walked silently side by side since until they reached percy’s cabin and they parted ways. Percy walked inside and sat down at his bed staring at the picture of his mom and Annabeth, two people he would never see again.
