"-ercy! Percy, open the door. Percy! Are you okay?" A voice shouted.

Someone was banging on my door.

It all flooded in. It was just a nightmare. Everything was just a nightmare. It wasn't real.

Everyone is here. Safe. No one was murdered. I didn't harm anyone. Thalia, Annabeth, Frank, Leo, everyone in the camp is here.

Someone broke in through the window.

"Oh my gods, Percy, are you okay?" It was Jason.

I nodded. "I'm okay. Ju-just a nightmare."

"You sure you're fine, dude?"

"Yeah. I'm fine." I lied.

"By the way, sorry about that day. I was acting like a jerk." He apologised.

"It's okay, really. I forgave you." I assured him.

"I shouldn't have mentioned those names." He hung his head in shame.

He sat next to me.

"The pillow is wet. Are you sure you're fine? You were screaming the whole time."

I remembered all that happened.

It was part of the deal.

Tartarus would not interfere with the war. And in return, I would allow him to manipulate my dreams.

That was the deal.

"Hey, dude? I can call Annabeth if you want..." Jason suggested.

"No. No, it's fine. You can go. Sorry if I woke you up."

He nodded and left.

Percy, think. Think about the time you spent on Tartarus. Your memories! Remember. Remember.

The voice chanted on.

You killed them, Percy. Ethan. Luke. Bianca. Zoë. Bob. Damasen. Beckendorf. Silena. Pan. Lee. Micheal. Leneus-

Stop! Stop, please, stop. Stop it...

You loved him, Percy.

Loved him with all your heart.

But did that stop you from killing him?

No. It didn't.

You killed Luke.

Yes, Luke Castellan.

You liked him, didn't you?

Stop! Yes, I was in love with Luke. But so was I with Annabeth. I loved both of them. With all my heart....

War.

The war ended it all.

It was the war that made you like this.

The gods just played with you.

You don't matter to them.

You are but another pawn in their game.

Who said the gods are good?

They are evil.

They have always been.
