* âAnd thatâs everything that happened.â The ice in your nectar melts, the clink echoing in your ears. Your nose wrinkles when you take a sip.
* âHades was right, this stuff is watered down.â
* Dionysus rests his elbows on his knees, his hands pressed together under his chin.
* You wait for him to say something, but instead, he stares into the distance.
* You take another sip of nectar and let him have his moment.
* âSo in summaryââ he starts, ââyou discovered that the situation was a conspiracy against Olympus royalty, you held a secret meeting with the king of the underworld, ruined a public transportation vehicle, slayed no less than four monsters, told a god that they owed you, fought Kronos and won, and then had Zeus cover the entire matter up?â
* You finish your sip. âI think Ares and Zeus know that Iâm a fertility god now too.â
* Dionysus gives a long sigh, slumping against the porch chair.
* âItâs always something with you isnât it?â
* âMaybe now that Percyâs here he can take some of the blame too.â Like a younger sibling. Dionysus resigns himself, taking a sip of your nectar.
* âWhere do you think Kronos is now that heâs not in Ares's body?â Dionysus gives a shrug.
* âHe probably isnât strong enough to live on his own still, heâs probably retreated back to Tartarus, or maybe into another pocket dimension until he can regain his strength.â
* It was odd, realizing the power that courses in your veins, that opens gateways and alternate dimensions isnât your Fatherâs but Kronosâ.
* âYou dare use my own power against me child?â Heâd hissed.
* Which makes you wonderâŚ
* âHey Dennis?â
* He meets your gaze, his cheek resting on hand. âYes (Y/N)?â
* âI know it was a long time ago, but when you were a demi-god, did you have weird dreams?â
* âIt wasnât that long ago.â He huffs, but the way his eyebrows wrinkle together has you convinced otherwise. âWhy?â
* âIâve been having some weird dreams lately.â
* Heâs quite for a long moment and you figure thatâs it, youâre thinking of other things to talk about when he says:
* âThe powers of life and death team inside of you, your mortality tempers it but it isnât impossibleâŚâ his head tilts to the side. âMaybe this is the prophecy of a witch.â
* âOf a witch?â
* âWell, you are Circeâs disciple, even Hecateâs acknowledged you, maybe youâre catching glimpses of the future or alternate realities.â
* âThatâs an interesting thought.â
* âZeus asked how you were.â The words leave your mouth with all the grace on an intrusive thought.
* âWardens do wonder if prisoners are about to riot.â Dionysus responds dryly.
* It didnât seem like that though, but you decide to keep this thought to yourself.
* âYou didnât do anything like ask him about Thalia when you met him right?â Dionysus suddenly sits up straight, frantic.
* You shake your head.
* âI couldnât even get a word in edgewise with him.â
* He looked older than you thought too, a lot more tired tooâeven more worn out than Hades.
* âWhat now Dennis?â
* âNow,â the corner of his mouth twitches, âyou meet Clarisse, Annabeth, Percy, Grover and Luke where theyâre waiting for you at the bottom of the hill with a picnic, on their way to introduce Percy to Thalia, and I am going to go see if Chiron would humor me in a good old fashioned game of Black Jack.â
* Youâve never seen a more rag tag group of kids in your life. Clarisse looks more like a bully picking on outcasts than a friend, a sneer on her mouth as she holds a jug of nectar.
* Luke looks like the jock that got lost on his way to football practice, holding a picnic basket for some reason.
* Percy looks like some wannabe surfer hipster who decided he was going to steal all the plates and silverware he could find.
* Annabeth is the honors student that got roped into it all, holding a checkered blanket with a frown.
* And Grover looks like the nerd theyâre all collectively bullying.
* But they all grin when you jog towards them, like youâre the best thing theyâve ever seen.
* âWhat were you and Dennis talking about for so long?â
* âDid he make you fill out the paperwork yourself?â
* âI stole this nectar from someone in the Aphrodite cabin, a gift from the goddess herself.â
* âDo you think I took too many plates?â
* âYou look a lot better than usual.â
* âDo you think weâre going to get yelled at?â
* But nothing feels as right as sitting under Thaliaâs tree with these people, trading jokes like breezes.
* âSo this is Thalia?â Percy asks, and unlike with the dog he places a hand on the trunk and smiles. âNice to meet you, Iâm Percy Jackson, my dadâs the ocean asshole.â
* Clarisse sputters pomegranate juice, and Luke howls with laughter.
* âAt least he didnât say ocean daddy.â
* Grover covers his face.
* âWhy do you keep saying that?â
* Clarisse would later take a Polaroid with the camera her mom sent her, arguing with Luke about how to set it up.
* âI told you I know what Iâm doing!â
* âAnd I told you that itâs way too low, whatâdo you want a picture of our legs?â
* The picture is a mess, Luke and Clarisse are fighting, Annabethâs pointing to the camera, Grover was mid-sneeze, Percyâs looking at you, and youâre grinning in the middle of it all.
* Thereâs another handful of pictures taken afterwards, but this one will always be your favorite.
* Just you and your friends from camp.
* You spend breakfast with Clarisse.
* âI heard what you did by the way,â Clarisse says. âThanks for sticking up for me with my dad.â
* Thereâs an uncharacteristic blush across her face and you smile.
* âWell, donât be too happyâhe tried to ask me on a date after, I think.â
* ââŚthat sounds about right.â
* You spend the last few weeks of summer happier than most, sitting with Percy on the dock.
* âWhat did you and your mom talk about?â
* He shrugs, holding a flat stone in his hand.
* âShe talked a little bit about the ocean asshole,â you have to fight to keep your mouth in a straight line, âand then she said she was going to make a big change and that I was always welcome home, but that she understood if I wanted to stay at camp and become a hero too.â
* You had heard from Dionysus that Hades had offered her a job in the Underworld, nothing glamorousâjust the usual clerical work, but it would be a start.
* âWhat about you?â He asks. âWhat did you and your dad talk about?â
* Nothing much, just the usual ambiguity regarding your powers and the ever-threatened structure of Olympus hierarchy.
* âHe just wanted to know if I was coming home early or going back to camp.â
* âBy the way what am I supposed to do with these?â He pulls out three perfect pearls in his hand. âThey were supposed to help us return back to the surface from the Underworld.â
* âThree huh? Guess he figured Iâd be fine staying down there.â
* You shrug.
* âMaybe youâll need them next time.â
* Percy sputters.
* âThereâs going to be a next time?â
* You laugh.
* You spend mid-day with Grover under Thaliaâs tree.
* âIs that all there is?â Grover asks when you show him how to mix the ingredients together for a potion.
* âCirce says that half of magic is will, if you have the desire to do it thatâs all that it takes.â
* Truthfully Grover isnât half bad, you feel a little like Circe all those years agoâwatching him grind the paste in slow circles.
* âI can take you to meet her next time I go if youâd like?â
* Circe would like him.
* He sputters a bashful laugh and you grin back.
* You trade gossip with Annabeth as the sun sets on the horizon.
* âWhatâs the deal with Makaira and Thanatos?â
* âOh man, I donât even know where to start with that.â Your aunt is nice, but perpetually in a state of arrested development. âShe just wasnât ever sure about him, but wasnât mature enough to communicate that.â
* Which is how they ended up with a three-millennia long lukewarm marriage that eventually dissolved into separation.
* âWasnât Thanatos dating Zagreus before though?â
* Youâd heard about it, once during the first dinner you had at your apartment with Makaira and your father, and once amongst the Underworld Denizens.
* Apparently Zagreus, Thanatos, and Megaera were a thing.
* âThe dating scene amongst gods is super tiny, thatâs probably why theyâre always getting swayed by mortals.â
* Annabeth laughs so hard she snorts.
* And your nights, staring at the twinkling sky right before curfew, are always reserved for one Luke Castellan.
* âDo you think weâd still be friends if we werenât Demi-gods?â Luke asks, his eyes trained on the sky. You tilt your head.
* âYeah, probably.â
* He scoffs in disbelief.
* âLooks like Iâm going to have to pacify him.â
* âSee Iâm from New York, and you would be in Connecticutââ
* âHow would we meet?â
* âIâm getting to that, you see weâre both awfully problematic, trouble just seems to find me and youâve got that personality.â He laughs at the careless wave of your hand as you gesture to him. âSo eventually our parents would have enough and send us to a reform camp, and of course weâd get sent to the same time out corner after a bout of bad behavior,â he laughs when you bump your shoulder into his. âand that would be it, Luke and (Y/N), completely inseparable.â His cheeks are rosy pink and you smile.
* Heâs gotten a lot softer in the years youâve known him, a far cry from the boy who barbed every word he sent your way.
* You were happy spending your days like this.
* Itâs that same happiness that clouded your brain.
* Because the first thought when you saw Luke and Percy walk into the woods, six red cans dangling from Lukeâs hand like a string of rubies is: âI canât believe Luke had coke and didnât tell me about it.â
* The first few steps are made causally, the only intention to get a sip of the sweet treat.
* And then realization dawns on you.
* âNo, that isnât right.â
* But your feet move faster now.
* âThings are different.â
* But youâve broken into a run.
* And when you get to the clearing in the woods Percyâs crumpled on the ground and Luke is standing in front of a portal, one eye as blue as the sky and the other the color of space.
* You drop to your knees, cradling a half-conscious Percy in your arms.
* âIâm sorry (Y/N),â you struggle to catch your breath, a tear shaking from the corner of your eye. âit had to be done.â
* And then heâs gone.
* âBecause some things donât change.â
