Be sure to read both this Author's note and the one at the end in it's entirety as they explain a lot of things that could be confusing. :)

SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO The_Late_Killjoy FOR MAKING THE AWESOME ARTWORK YOU SEE ABOVE! THANK YOU!

Nope it's true. You're actually seeing the correct number. 21,798 IS the word count SWEET LAWD. Know why? Cuz I realized that THIS is the height of the story (for Percy at least) so it is the longest chapter emotionally. It's also VERY serious and alot of things might be too heavy to understand or take in. So don't overexert yourself, read in pieces, take breaks, and please get comfy! Now the next one might take a tad long to update okay, but hopefully the ones after will speed along.

AND I SWEAR, I'LL BRING THE LEVEL OF DETAIL DOWN back to minimal spy-standards, it's just that THIS IS THE CLIMAX AND YOU SEE JUST HOW COMPLEX PERCY IS! Okay no more ranting, here's a Percy-centered chapter for you.

And oops, a lot of you must've been a tad confused by which memories Percy was happy in. Don't worry I'll clear it up. GOOD LUCK!

I swear I'm done with these lengths, I know you guys keep saying it's fine and you love 'em but you can stop lying now, haha THIS IS NOT NORMAL. And thank you so much again to ALL you guys for joining me on this ride through Project Demigod. You're AMAZING troopers.

IMPORTANT INFO: Now it'll be tough but just try to imagine it like a movie. The scenes jump back and forth but Percy's words in the center are the voiceover that connects them to the end. And I don't know why but I heard Logan Lerman's voice. :p Do I have to cred him? And remember, this is an AU so many of the things in this chapter may not/cannot actually happen in real life... but imagination is a wonderful thing.

"And it will take this life of regret, for my heart to learn and forget. Tomorrow will be as it always has been, and I will fall to her again."

...

"Y...You are my sunshine, m-my only sunshine..."

Long Island Sound is my home. It's always been home since the day I was born.

"You make me h...happy...when skies are grey..."

I have never known a more perfect place, protecting everything I stood for, everything I loved... before it was all taken from me.

"You'll never know dear, how mu... how m-much I love you..."

But back then, I didn't know it would. You never do until it's too late to change it, until it's too late to save it.

"Please don't ta-take my sun... my sunsh-shine a-away..."

All you see is the sun in your eyes, the noise in your ears, the beat in your chest... and you just live.

"...Rest... R-Rest in peace."

You keep living, keep loving... or at least you keep trying to.

"Jamme, jamme 'ncoppa, jamme jà!"

She laughed and copied.

"Jamme, jamme 'ncoppa, jamme jà!"

"Funiculì!"

"Funiculà!"

"Funiculì!"

"Funiculàààà!"
