After Tyson was amused and asked what literally everything was in camp, I decided to leave Percy with him and come back in a while.

Annabeth and I were walking around, until we saw Chiron talking with Tyson and Percy.

She ran up and hugged him.

"Chiron, what's happening? You're not... leaving?" Her voice was shaky. When we first came to camp, Chiron was like a second father to her.

Chiron ruffled her hair and gave her a kind smile.

"Hello, child. And Percy, my goodness. You've grown over the year!"

"Clarisse said you were... you were..." Percy couldn't fully get his words out.

"So, we know who did this, Kro—"

"Don't not invoke the titan lord's name, Percy. Especially not here, not now."

"Last summer her tried to cause a civil war in Olympus! He'd get Luke to do it, that traitor."

"Perhaps," Chiron said. "But I fear I am being held responsible because I did not prevent it and I cannot cure it. The tree only has a few weeks of life left, unless..."
