Chapter one

Camp Half-Blood

"Mother, you can't let this happen! You're the goddess of wisdom, so you know how bad of a decision this is! You have to stop them!"

"Annabeth, I cannot."

"You must. He cannot be allowed to go free. He has to remain imprisoned. Please! After what he did, how many he killed in cold blood…"

"Annabeth, I cannot do anything. This decision came unanimously. He saved Olympus. Twice. And we imprisoned him to the worst possible fate for that. We have wronged him, and we look to correct that mistake. Though I'd rather we leave him where he is, we cannot deny what he's done."

"He saved Olympus…twice?"

Athena shook her head, the Iris Message doing nothing to detract from her beauty. "I'll explain once we get there."

"Get here? Wait, you're coming here?! To Camp Half-Blood?!"

"Yes, this issue requires our…personal attention, Annabeth."

"But mother-"

"No more, just wait for me there." With that, Athena severed the connection.

Annabeth sat back and huffed. This was ridiculous! Even her own mother wouldn't listen to her, and Athena even hated the person in question. And why were the gods coming here? He was in Tartarus, so why would they come here for his release? And then it hit her. He was coming here. This was his destination after he had been set free.

That he was coming here?" Annabeth nodded mutely. "Yep."

"Why the Hades didn't you tell me?"

"For this reason right here, obviously. You're about to get all riled up and high and mighty aren't you?"

"No I'm not! You should've told me! Then I could have at least prepared a little, tried to convince the gods that this isn't the right place, that it isn't safe to bring him here, that he poses a possible threat to each and every Demi-" Annabeth stopped when she caught Thalia rolling her eyes. "What is that look for?"

"Because, you're doing exactly what I said you'd do."

"I…damn you."

Thalia smiled brightly. "Love you too, Annabeth."

Annabeth did not return the smile. Rather she slouched over the table and put her head in her hands. "What the Hades is going on, Thalia? They promised us that after he went insane, he would never be seen again. And now, only three years later, he's coming back. Why? Why did they suddenly change their minds?"

Thalia shrugged. "They're the gods. They change their minds all the time, sometimes it's not for the best." A peal of thunder sounded out across the sky. Thalia looked up. "Calm down, Dad." She turned back to Annabeth. "Besides, for once, I'm happy they're having a change of heart."

Annabeth stared at her from in between her fingers. "What?"

"I'm happy, Annabeth. He was my friend too, you know. I miss him." (More than anyone else knows) she silently added "And I know that he had a reason for doing what he did after the final battle. He wasn't…like that, you know? He was always the strong, stable one." She chuckled. "He may not have been the most intelligent, but he would never hurt his friends. Ever."

"But Thalia-"

"Maybe you should listen to her, Annabeth." Luke walked over and sat beside her on the other side, so she was sandwiched between them. "He wasn't a bad person, Annabeth. He never betrayed a single one of his friends, and always did everything he could to protect them."

"Then explain what happened after he defeated Kronos!"

Luke shrugged and Thalia spoke up, "The truth is, Annabeth, we can't. Nobody can. Maybe he really did lose his mind, went insane from everything that he had been burdened with. If he did, could you blame him? He had the weight of the world on his shoulders, both literally and figuratively. The world depended on what choice he made, and he had to protect his friends. He bore Achilles' curse, invincible but at a terrible price. Everyone expected everything from him, and maybe he just couldn't hold that any longer. For the gods' sakes Annabeth, his soul was even separated from his body in the final battle. We have no clue what that did to his mind. Either way, I'll go on thinking that he had a reason for what he did. What surprises me is that you don't. That you were so quick to persecute him along with everybody else. You were his closest friend, Annabeth."

"Were being the key word there."

Somewhere near camp half-blood

The fresh breeze and heat of the sun felt wonderful on the charred and scarred body of Percy. Percy and Grover walked at a brisk pace since the cab dropped them off. Grover had finally had mustered up enough courage to finally ask Percy how he got the giant scar that ran from his left temple down to his neck, to which he simply replied Kronos as if it explained everything. Grover once during their trip asked about Percy and Annabeth and that was one place he did not want to go to again.

"Hey Grover"

"Yeah, Percy"

"How's Camp been without me?"

"Pretty boring without you there Perce everything just slowed down." Percy chuckled "People are afraid of you now even some of the Ares campers."He laughed even harder at the thought of Ares campers afraid of him "Oh yeah, I also forgot Thalia's back she got kicked out from the Hunters when Artemis noticed she has been hanging out with Nico and entering Tartarus to see you."

"Wow a lot changed, but Thalia's back that's great." Percy's eyes shone when he mentioned Thalia. thundering paws were heard by Grover and Percy a couple of hundred feet in front of them where Mrs. O'Leary was bounding towards them and in a couple seconds had tackled Percy who was laughing even harder now due to Mrs. O'Leary.

"And now a lot more is going to as well" Grover bleated while laughing at Percy and Mrs. O'Leary. When he saw the 12 Olympians standing inside camp half bloods borders.
