Leo's POV

I don’t own this. Ricky does.

Previously, on the House of Hades

“But I want to do things like these. Look at Piper and Jason, their always together.” He looked at her.  “I’m not comparing our relationship to theirs, but I want to spend more time with you. Is that too much to ask?”

Taking her hand, he said, “I know Hazel and I’m sorry. It’s just when you are alone, you are doing something else. When you’re not, you’re either with Leo or Piper. I am going to try spending more time with you. Ok.”

He kissed her. “Ok!”

“Well, well, well, Frank and Hazel.”

Turning around, we saw Queen Hera. On instinct, we bowed. “I knew Romans had better manners than Greeks, but whatever. You can stand now.”

We stood. Frank quickly said, “Queen Hera, may I ask, what you are doing here? Especially after what you’ve done to Percy and Annabeth.”

She replied, “I came to help you. They were never supposed to fall into Tartarus together. That wasn’t the plan.”

Hazel asked, “Well, could you help them?”

Smiling, she said, “I’ve already helped them.”

“How?”

“I am a God, aren’t I? Anyways, I came to tell you that the Spirit of Delphi issued a new prophecy.”

We were confused. “Spirit of Delphi?”

“She is like the equivalent of Octavian, but better. She speaks real prophecies. She’s an Oracle.”

They had those. “Ohh. What was the prophecy then?”

“It was this,

Demigods shall travel to the ancient lands

To find those who were lost and see them safely returned

The Fire will have to make the choice

To preserve or raze Olympus

As he will be left behind

And fail to save the person he cared about most.

“Percy, what are you doing?” Annabeth screamed.

“I am taking most of the damage. So you won’t get hurt!”

I knew it. That dumb seaweed brain. “What about you? You’ll hurt!”

“It doesn’t matter as long as you’re okay!” He said.

“What’s going on?” Annabeth asked.

“I think we should get out of here. This place is a monster infested nest.”

Taking his hand, she said, “Let’s go!”

“I don’t think so! Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase!”

Turning to the voice, they saw thousands of monsters behind that one man. Every monster they ever defeated. “Oh crap!!” Percy said.

“Who the Hades are you?” Annabeth yelled.

“You don’t remember me, Percy might know me!”

“Polybotes! I killed you! How are you here?” Percy said.

“Monsters go to Tartarus when they die! I came here. But enough about that. As you can see, you are outnumbered. You have two choices, surrender or die!”

Now, on the House of Hades,

Leo’s POV

The fire engulfed Camp Half-Blood, the Argo 2 in pieces, and the gods impaled with swords in their heart. Demigods’ weapons and body armor laid burned in the ground and smoke raised from the cabins.

“Leo, why?” “Why, Leo?” “Why did you betray us, Repair Boy?”

--Switch Scenes--

The same thing happened to Camp Jupiter. The Forum completely burned, everything burned, not a trace of Camp Jupiter left.

“No, It can’t be!”

This is what will happen if you don’t make the right choice Leo!  Choose, Leo! Choose! You only have a few weeks. Choose wisely!!

No, I can’t.

You can and you will!

I don’t want to choose!

“Leo, Leo, wake up, buddy.” The man said.

Leo’s eyes shot open. “Woah! Who’s there?”

“It’s me, Jason.”

“Why are you waking me up at this ungodly hour in the morning?” He said yawning.

“It’s 10 AM, Leo!”

“Exactly!”

Rolling his eyes, Jason told him, “We have an emergency meeting.”

Leo’s eyes turned serious. “What is it about?”

“Frank and Hazel said something about a new prophecy from Hera.” Jason replied.

“Ok, let me go get dress. I’ll be down in a minute.”

“K, hey, Leo, were you having a nightmare?” He asked Leo.

“Yeah, Demigod’s nightmare suck.”

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“No!” Leo said bluntly.

“Ok, you know you’re my best friend, right, and me and Piper will always be there for you?” Jason said before leaving. ‘Yeah, right.’

“I know.” Leo muttered.

--At the Meeting--

“Is everyone here?” Nico asked.

“Yeah, everyone’s here.” Leo said.

“Well, let the meeting begin. First things first, what is the prophecy exactly about? Frank and Hazel.”

Frank started. “Well, we were outside enjoying the view when Hera showed up.”

“Wait, a goddess showed up.”

“Yes, Leo, a goddess showed up. She said that she helped Percy and Annabeth in some way, but she didn’t say how. She also told us that there is a new prophecy.”

“Well, what is it?” Coach Hedge said.

“I was getting to that part. Hazel, would you like to do the honors?”

“Of course Frank, Here it goes:

Demigods shall travel to the ancient lands

To find those who were lost and see them safely returned

The Fire will have to make the choice

To preserve or raze Olympus

As he will be left behind

And fail to save the person he cared about most.”

Fire will have to make the choice to preserve or raze olympus.

“Ok, let’s try to figure out the prophecy, and remember prophecies always have double meanings.” Piper said.

Hazel started. “Demigods shall travel to Ancient Lands. That’s obviously us.”

“To find those who were lost. That’s Percy and Annabeth.” Jason told us.

“And see them safely returned. That means we will definitely bring them back.”

“The Fire will have to make a choice to preserve or raze Olympus. The fire is preferably me or Leo.”

Piper goes on. “You guys will have to make a choice that will either save or destroy Olympus.”

Leo finished the last line. “As he will be left behind and fail to save the person he cared about most.” Everyone is silent at the mention of the last line.

“We won’t leave anyone behind right! We won’t, right, right?” Leo asked. He thought they would have answered him the moment he asked the question, but what hurt him the most was the fact that no one answered him.

There finished, please review and follow and favorite. I am really sorry about the long absent, but school has been killing me since I am now a senior. I only had time today because I didn’t have a lot of homework for the first time in weeks. If you guys are real good and get me more reads, votes, and reviews, then I will update early, maybe even this week.

So, au-revoir!

Sincerely, Gmandy.

I need a beta reader. If anyone is interested, please private message me.
