The breakup and the gifts
Annabeth's POV
It's been one month since the giant war. Everyone tried there best to move on. They tried to be happy seeing that is what their friends and family would want but it would take a long time to recover from the war.
Walking towards the beach I saw a figure sitting there lost in thought. I calmed my nerves for what I was about to do but knew it was for the best.
"Hey wisegirl" Percy greeted. I smiled at him looking into his beautiful sea green eyes. If he was a girl I would totally be jealous. He somewhat had a feminine shape.
"Hey" I said pecking him lightly on the lips. We sat there enjoying the scenery for a few moments happy for the peace we had.
I looked at him and sighed. At that he turned to look at curiosity and worry clear in his eyes.
"We need to talk Percy" I said while trying not to meet his eyes.
"Okay." He said and motioned his head for me to continue.
Before I could back out I spoke up" I think we should breakup. And before you speak please let me speak my mind first. Things aren't working between us anymore it's not how we used to be and I just figured I love you more as a best friend than a boyfriend and I hope I can still be your best friend" I said in one breath. I look away from him waiting for a reaction.
"Wow, you said that in one breath. How do you do it?" I stared at him incredulously.
"After all I said that's the only thing you can pick out?" He chuckled lightly.
"seaweed brain" I said smiling fondly at him.
He suddenly smiled saying"it's okay. I've also been feeling that way for sometime but I didn't want to hurt you feelings so I decided I keep shut."
"So does this mean we are still best friends?" I asked with eyes full of hope.
"Of course". At that reply, I released I breath I was unaware I was holding.
"Thanks I said giving him a hug and a small kiss on the forehead. We headed back to the dining pavilion just in time to see Chiron standing to make an announcement.
"Heroes, you are being called to Olympus. Lord Hermes will be here in an hour to flash to the empire state building. The romans will also be there so be ready."
An hour later
"Lord Hermes" the demigods bowed to the traveller god.
"Rise" he said "grab hold of each other. I'll flash you to the empire state building".
We held onto each and shut our eyes to prevent being burnt to ashes from his divine form.
Olympus was still as beautiful as I remembered. With Huge beautiful palaces and lush garden. The palaces where aligned in a circle with the throne room in the center and a huge beautiful fountain in it's front. The fountain was made of imperial gold with several jewels at its bottom. The water was pure courtesy of lord Poseidon. After a few minutes we were at the entrance to the throne room. The doors were made out of imperial gold while it's handles were Atlantic silver.
"Heroes, you have called here to reward you for participating in the war. All the campers both current and future will be given partial immortality. However, the six of the seven will be given full immortality. Perseus Achilles Jackson, you will be made a god do you accept" Zeus thundered (OH! The pun).
Percy thought about it and said "no" which wasn't a surprise.
"But I will accept partial immortality along with three wishes. And you have to swear on the Styx to fulfil them"
Zeus thought about and swore on the Styx as long as it was within his capability.
"I want you to give hades and Hestia a spot on the council. Then remove the law of no interaction with your children. And also bring the campers that were lost in the battle back."
No-one was surprised at his wishes.
"Okay it will be done". He snapped his fingers and two thrones came out of the ground. One was pitch black and looked to be made from Stygian iron and the other was a fiery red that emitted the warmth of home and made you relaxed. The demigods that died in the giant war were also back looking as confused as never before. For some reason, the gods couldn't bring back or find the demigods that died in the titan war. They didn't think much of it because they figured they would have gone for rebirth.
After all explanations were done the went into the hall to celebrate. Everyone finally happy for the war that had ended.
