I can't help but notice how well The Last Day of Summer from The Lightning Thief: A Percy Jackson Musical applies to our situation or at least the first verse.

It is the end of the Camp-Halfblood Chronicles.

In the song, Percy is struggling with the end of his quest and the fact that he feels like it shouldn't be over... but it is.

What do you do when the quest has ended?

This quest has ended. The Camp Half-Blood Chronicles are complete. As far as we know of we will see little to none of Percy Jackson ever again. What are we supposed to do now?

What do you do when the battle's won?

The battle is won. We've made it to the end, and it was a hard road.

So many questions left unanswered

There are so many things that we still don't know about this world, but they most likely won't be answered.

So many things still left undone

There are so many things that could still be happening, but we have no way to look into this world anymore. Do Annabeth and Percy Survive to get married and have kids, continuing their legacy? We'll never truly know.

What do you do when it's up to you to choose: Has something ended or begun?

We as fans now have a decision to make. Have the books ended, or have they now truly begun because they're complete. A story can't have a beginning without an ending.

Stay or go? Pick one

Should I stay in this fantasy world that I've come up with, where the monsters are easily identifiable? Or should I move on and let go?

Do I stay because it's safer?

Do I stay in this world where, emotionally, it's safer? Where it's easier to know that the good guys always win?

Back to the home I left behind?

Regardless of whether we accept it or not, Real Life is our home. We left it behind when we got to invested in this story. Is it time to go back?

I could stay and train for a piece of the action

We can remain here and love the action and the adventure and the Percabeth.

But what about peace of mind?

Will we ever be truly happy by ignoring the real world as it jars us back to reality over and over and over again

Ugh! What's my deal? Why do I feel there's something left I still need to find?

It feels like there's a piece missing to this puzzle. At least for me, it feels like something isn't right quite yet. Something still needs to happen but it can't. It can't because it's done.

Where do you go when it's over?

Where are we supposed to go now? I know I'm not the only one who has invested way too much of their life into these books for it to just drop out from underneath me.

What do you do when you've come to the last day of summer?

It really feels like the last day of summer. Like the beginning of school never felt real until you were walking in the building, the ending of the books didn't feel real until this last book was released.

Because this is the end of an era.

We had a good run.

Bring on the Monsters.

Bring on the Real World.
