Everyone didn't know what to say, the silence in the room was uncomfortable. They nervously waited for the next song.

When the music started, Annabeth immediately identified it as one of her mother's songs, recognising Athena's piano motif. Annabeth was proven correct as Athena appeared on the screen. "Boooooo! It's an Athena song!" Percy booed at the screen.

Leo chuckled, he appreciated Percy's similar sense of humour, it amazes him how Leo had once hated Percy despite them being so familiar.

[ATHENA]
You were reckless, sentimental at best

"I mean..." Reyna bit her tongue.

Piper nodded, "He gave the Cyclops his name, that's just... Dumb."

That's not a teaching of mine
You've grown soft, your dead friends can attest

"That's way too far!" Thalia exclaimed, her blood boiling. If anyone, even a goddess said that to her, she wouldn't have taken it well.

Annabeth nodded, she didn't want to disagree with her mother but if somebody said something like that about her falling friends, she wouldn't have listened to anything they told her. She tilted her head to the side, trying to understand what Athena's strategy could possibly be, there was no way that Athena thought Odysseus would listen to her after saying something like that.

[ODYSSEUS]
Hey!

[ATHENA]
Put your emotions aside

"How is he supposed to put his emotions aside? His friends just died!" Frank shook his head.

You're a warrior meant to lead the rest
I don't know where I went wrong
But I warned ya', and you failed the test
So now I'm gone

"Oh my gods," Hazel gasped.

The demigods in the room were speechless, gone? How is he meant to get home now?! Nico shook his head, he knew that was a lot more death about to come because of this decision.

Leo chuckled, "I know this is serious but... I can't be the only one who thinks this song sounds like a breakup song."

"What?!" Annabeth screeched. Her mind quickly remembering the last 30 seconds on the song. "Ewww! No, Leo— Just ew."

"Ha! It does, doesn't it?"

"No comment."

This way, you'll know what your place is
This way, you can't cross the line
This way, when all is over you'll keep yours and I'll keep mine
This way, you won't disappoint me
This way, you won't waste my time
This way, I'll close the door
Consider this as my goodbye

Annabeth couldn't help but feel a sense of deja vu, she remembered how her mother had once threatened to disown her, her disappointment. Annabeth had to walk through literal hell to make her mother proud. She hated to admit it but sometimes Annabeth wondered if it would be better if Athena hadn't claimed her at all.

[ODYSSEUS]
That's just likе you, why should I be surprised?
Selfish and pridеful and vain

"OH MY DAM!" Percy perked out of his chair, "I'm sorry Annie, I think I'm in love." Percy grinned as he looked at his girlfriend, he expected her to lovingly roll her eyes or shake her head, maybe even a punch in the shoulder for disrespecting her mum but nothing. Annabeth looked too lost in her thoughts, he doubted she even heard him. His eyes locked with Thalia, she had realised a similar thing.

Unlike you, every time someone dies
I'm left to deal with the strain
What's a title that a goddess could lend if I'll never sleep at night?
I'll remind you I saw you as a friend
But now we're done

Leo nodded, "Definitely a breakup."

"Cut it out," Piper joked.

This way, you're out of my head now
This way, you won't plague my life
This way, when all is done, you're out of sight and out of mind
This way, you get what you wanted
This way, you can save your time
This way, you close the door and have your damn goodbye

"Dam," Percy smirked.

[ATHENA]
You're not looking for a mentor
I'm not looking for a friend
I mistook you for a general
What a waste of effort spent

"Athena is really attacking him here," Jason felt bad for the guy.

Nico rolled his eyes, "What did you expect her to do?"

[ODYSSEUS]
At least I know what I'm fighting for
While you're fighting to be known
Since you claim you're so much wiser
Why's your life spent all alone?
You're alone

"Woah."

[ATHENA]
One day, you'll hear what I'm saying
One day, you might understand
One day

"She looks so... sad," Hazel frowned.

Annabeth shook her head, recognising that look from somewhere before, "She's not sad, she's disappointed."

but not today, for after all you're

[ENSEMBLE]
Just a man

"All his dead friends and family in the background?? That's cruel!"

[ATHENA, ENSEMBLE]
This day, you sever your own head
This day, you cut the line
This day, you lost it all
Consider this as my goodbye
Ohh
Consider this as my goodbye
Ohh
This is my goodbye
Ohh

"He's regretting it..."

Consider this as my goodbye
Ohh
This is my goodbye

Percy cleared his throat, "Well that was..."

Annabeth leaped out of her seat, "I want a break!"
