A/N: Anyone is welcome to pick this up. I will not make it into a story. Also, this part must be a part of the story. Thank you.

"Why did you do this?" asked Thalia Grace the Lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis. "They were-"

"They were what?" Percy interjected, his cold, hard silver eyes burrowing into her lightning blue eyes. "They were good people? Don't make me laugh. The world only has a limited supply of good people. My mother, my Wise Girl, my sister, and my stepfather are the only good people I know. Everyone else just tosses people aside when they have no more use for them."

"That's not-" Thalia tried to say.

"Not true?" he asked. He chuckled mirthlessly. "It is true. After all, the gods care not for us. For their own children. All they care about is keeping their immortality, keeping their powers. Not about us. Not about mortals."

"Perseus!"

He turned around and saw the goddess of the Hunt looking at him in shock. Both at his words and at the area around him.

"And here is the perfect example," Percy began, "what would you do, Artemis, if a boy, a mere child, came up to you asking for help? Would you give him the cold shoulder just because of his gender? Or would you help an innocent child?"

Artemis was silent. She isn't sure what she'd do and that is what shocked her.

"See Thalia?" he said. "The goddess can't even answer my question! But I'm betting she'd give the child, the innocent child, a cold shoulder and pretend to not even hear him! That is what immortals do after all. They ignore us, mortals, because to them, we are nothing but pawns in their game!"

Percy looked around.

"Heroes are lies spread by the world because the world itself can't bear the pain of the evil it bears," Percy told them all. "This is what I learned by believing that I could save my loved ones from the pain of the Demigod life. From the evil of it."

Percy started to fade away, but he left these last few words to the goddess and her hunt.

"Luke was right," he said. "The Olympians truly do not care for us. For their own children."
