I close my eyes to enjoy the feeling of Ashton's hands running through my hair. We are laying out on the grass with our heads touching just enjoying the late summer breeze. I sadly have to open my eyes when Will speaks up "We better get going guys".

I sigh and slowly open my eyes to see Will looking down at us. I reluctantly stand up and so does Ashton as we grab our backpacks that are already packed.

It has been 3 months since our quest and it is almost the end of the summer. After our quest, when we came back the demigods here threw us a celebration and I spent the summer enjoying it with Ashton, Leo, Jason, Percy, Annabeth, and Will.

My dad kept his promise and when we got to Camp Half-Blood Will was able to pass by the shield protecting our camp. Soon he started to get dreams involving half bloods who haven't been claimed yet. He suddenly became the navigator (That's what the satyrs called him) and the satyrs immedeatly went off to collect the demigods that he had visions about.

Soon the camp grew double its' size and we were at the number of 63 demigods now. Ashton, Will, and I were about to head off to find the latest demigods in Will's dreams. They were more powerful demigods so we had to go collect them instead of the satyrs. I practiced swordfighting a lot with Ashton and Jason this summer so I am a lot better at combat.

After we collect the demigods we are coming back here. Ashton, Will and I decided to stay here year long. I didn't have much of a choice seeing that I was a child of the Big Three and I would immedeatly attract monsters but even if that wasn't the case I would have still chosen to stay here. This was my home and I loved it here and the people here.

I was also excited to go back out into the mortal world. I haven't been outside since the quest and I was excited to see it for a little bit.

Will walks up to join Ashton and I as we three walk up the hill together. He nudges me and asks "You ready for this?" I smile at him and answer "You know it" he laughs as he puts an arm around me and Ashton. Throughout the summer Ashton had started to become good friends with Will and so have I. We now all three had a strong bond.

When we came back from the quest Leo was still close to us but soon he had to go out into the mortal world more often and we kind of drifted off. We were still good friends but he was usually busy with new assignments from Chiron and I was happy for him. When he was working he was happier than he ever is and I love seeing him happy.

As we reached the top I turn back around to look out at Camp Half-Blood and my eyes immedeatly go to Blaire's monument. Immedeatly when I got back from the quest I worked with Leo and the Hepheastus cabin to make the monument to Blaire.

It was a stone carving of a trident sticking out of a cracked ground with her name and her life span on it. Under it I carved the words The true hero of olympus and it was true. Without her we all would have died. I made sure it was right on the bank of the river. I remembered one time when I was talking to her she told me that the grassy spot right at the bank of the river was her favorite spot here so I made sure to put the monument there. I made sure the grass still grew around the monument so it would still be the grassy spot that she loved.

Ashton notices me staring at her monument and grabs my hand "you okay?" he asks and I nod. The pain of her death has died down since the quest. At first the pain was always around but soon it turned into a numb feeling and eventually it just turnd into a tiny twinge of sadness whenever I thought about her.

"Well, I think were all prepared. Lets go save some powerful demigod's asses" Will exclaims and I laugh at him. I turn towards Will to see him looking out at camp with a goofy smile and think to myself thankfully he is my family. I turn beside me to look at Ashton and see him staring lovingly at me and think happily to myself he is my love. I turn towards Blaire's monument and think proudly she is my sister. I turn to take in the whole camp and the people in it. And this I think to myself content. This is my home.

And that is the end! I enjoyed writing this story a ton because I'm a die hard Percy Jackson fan and it gave me so many ideas. If you have read my story all the way to the end I want to give you a huge virtual hug. Thank you so much for reading my poorly written story and loving the Percy Jackson series as much as I do. I love you all!
