Percy POV:

1 Year Later

I woke up to my alarm clock beeping like there was no tomorrow.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"Why can't we ever get a day to sleep in?" Hope said, awaking next to me.

I replied, "Well I did tell Zeus that I would be making up all the stuff I missed during our two semesters at New Rome U."

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Hope muttered a spell, instantly shutting off the alarm. As she got out of bed, she said, "We better hurry up if we don't want to miss breakfast."

I nodded.

Once we were ready, we left my cabin and went to the Mess Hall.

We sat down at my table, and I summoned us some breakfast.

Hope said, "I have to go to Camp Jupiter today."

I raised an eyebrow, "For what? Classes are over."

Hope took another bite of her food, and after she swallowed, she said, "I know. Hazel and I are meeting up. Girl stuff."

"Okay" was all I said.

When it comes to "girl stuff," it's best not to get involved.

I finished eating my food when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned my head and saw a boy no older than eleven.

He had blue eyes, sandy blonde hair, a smirk that looked a little to mischievous. He was a spitting image of Luke, minus the scar.

"Luk-" I caught myself. "Hi, I'm Percy. Don't call me Lord Perseus, it makes me feel old."

I stuck my hand out and he shook it. He introduced himself, "I'm Evan. I'm a new camper, and one of your new Sword-fighting students."

I smiled, "Nice to meet you Evan. I'm assuming your dad's Hermes."

He nodded, "Yeah. You almost called me Luke. Who is he? A lot of the older campers keep telling me that I looked like him."

"How long have you been here?" I asked.

"A couple of days."

"Well, I'm sure you've heard of the Second Titan War that we fought a few years ago. Luke was Kronos' host. But in the end, he was the one who defeated him."

Evan looked confused, "I thought that was you?"

I explained, "Yeah I did. But two years later. Luke defeated him during the Second Titan War."

"Oh, okay. I think I have to go now. Bye!"

As he left, I waved back at him.

I turned back to Hope and I saw her smiling.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing," she said and got up from her seat.

She pecked me on the lips and said, "I'll see you later."

After she was gone, I flashed to Olympus.

I made my way to Hephaestus' forge.

He was currently working on one of his countless side projects.

I waited for him to notice I was there, but when he didn't, I cleared my throat.

He jumped, but then relaxed when his eyes landed on me.

He said, "Percy, how long have you been standing there?"

"Just a few minutes," I answered.

Hephaestus snapped his fingers, instantly removing any grease from his body.
