I remember tears streaming down your face, when I said I'll never let you go.

Gaea was definitely messing with everyone on the battlefield. She sent every demigod visions of their worst nightmares and traumatising moments. Percy Jackson was no different.

They hung over the cavern, barely held up by his hand. Her hair was whipping around her face, and tears were streaming down her cheeks. He promised her that they would always be together, and he let go off the cliff. As they fell, he held her tight, never once loosening his grip.

When all those shadows almost killed your light.

Hazel watched as Nico was tackled to the floor by a hellhound. She charged the beast, and with a perfectly aimed jab, the monster disintegrated. She offered a hand to her brother, who took it. Together, they took off into the battle.

Hazel wasn't going to lose her brother again.

I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"

Percy had promised to never leave her side.

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

But yet, in the heat of the battle, not all promises could be kept.

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now

The poor boy was in pain, Will knew that. He was groaning with every movement, his face twisting up every time Will tried to ease his suffering.

Will knew there was no saving the kid, but that didn't mean he couldn't make his death a little less painful. He hadn't been able to do it with Silena, so maybe he could redeem himself by doing that for her young brother.

He started to tell him about how everything was going to be okay, he was safe now. The boy's wild eyes softened and he closed his eyes for the final time, and let loose his shaky last breath.

And in the dying light of his Father's rays, Will wept.

Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Percy looked towards the West, where the sun was starting to set. The battle was over, but the actions taken after the battle were far from done. But he knew, when the sun rose tomorrow, he would be safe.

Don't you dare look out your window

Nico turned to look outside, only to have his face directed back towards his sister, and the insufferable Son of Apollo named Will Solace.

Hazel had been the one to move his head back to face him. She was banged up, so Nico had insisted she go find a doctor. But she had protested, wanting to be there while Will healed his numerous wounds.

Nico had never been so glad to have a family.

Darling, everything's on fire

All Leo could see around him was the flames that coated his skin. He briefly wondered how Calypso was, before he closed his eyes.

The war outside our door keeps raging on

With the lingering monster dust, the stubborn fires, and arrows gracing the ground, it almost seemed as the war wasn't over. But the arrows were being collected, the fires were being put out, and the dust was being blown away in the wind.

Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone

As they worked, people started to sing, low mournful tunes. The songs carried across the valley, and even as the singing faded, it lingered in everyone's mind.

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

The sun rose again, casting long distorted shadows. Percy quietly walked out of the infirmary, where he had been dragged, only halfway conscious, the night before. Annabeth was still inside, having been forced into bedrest in order to let her ankle heal.

He was strolling with no real care in the world when his name was shouted. He turned to the voice, and saw Grover there. Next thing he knew, he was bolting towards his best friend, and then they were hugging. Grover was crying, Percy was crying, but he didn't feel embarrassed in the slightest.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh

People started to sing again, except this time it was songs of victory and joy. The weight of the victory was starting to hit, and people were crying, laughing, screaming they had won.

Just close your eyes

Jason Grace closed his eyes, and let the morning air wash over him.

You'll be alright

Nico diAngelo was far from okay, but with Hazel by his side, maybe, just maybe, he could, for the first time in years, be alright.

Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

And as the sun rose the day after the battle, it brought so much.

As the sun rose, it brought death, as people who had tried to hold on through the night, died as they lost their hold.

As the sun rose, it brought victory, as the sun's rays seemed to crown everyone in laurel wreaths. They had won.

As the sun rose, it brought grief, as people said goodbye, and last words were muttered.

And as the sun rose, the Giant War ended.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh oh oh
