ZEUS P.O.V.
Though I had never told anyone, Percy was my favourite nephew and he didn't deserve to die like that. The line of the prophecy had been completed. 'An oath to keep with a final breath' on Percy's final breath an oath was made to help our children so that's what we did. Everyone except Poseidon flashed to the battle field and were surprise to see what we found.
The whole field was in ruins. There were dead dead bodies were littering the ground and the golden monster was thick in the air. I saw my two children and ran over to them. The two picked their heads up when they saw me and I engulfed them in a huge hug. I was so happy to see that they both were alive and none of them had any injuries over than a few scratches and bruises. Thalia looked at me with a look of shock, same with Jason. I just smiled sadly and turned.
I walked over to the corner of the battlefield and created an iris message.
"Iris, please show me what happened today on the battle field," the screen shimmered and I saw a massive army marching towards the demigods. Percy ran ahead all of them and took out half the army singlehandedly from inside his own personal hurricane. The rest of them came up behind him. There was a giant earthquake and I thought Gaia was rising but instead I saw Percy standing in the middle. At the tremor of the earth Gaia finally rose. Percy ran forwards to meet her and the lost amazing battle I had ever seen started in motion before me. Percy slashed jabbed and rolled before Gaia stabbed him in the stomach. He foo to the ground and cried out in pain. Annabeth ran up to him to defend him but Gaia took her down in one swipe. Percy slowly stood up and tears rolled down his face. Not because he was in pain and about to die but because his beloved Annabeth had just passed. He attacked with new force and Gaia was stabbed several time, forcing her to fall back into her millennia long sleep. Percy collapsed once again before a bright light surrounding him, teleporting him to the throne room.
I swiped through the connection with tears in my eyes. I just realised that I had to tell everyone that Perseus had perished.
"GODS! FLASH YOUR CHILDREN TO THE THRONE ROOM SO WE CAN LOOK AFTER THEM! HADES, BRING THE DEAD TO YOUR PALACE AND PRESERVE THEM SO WE CAN BURY THEM! NOW MOVE!" I shouted to all the gods.

I flashed to the throne room before anyone else and I saw a sight that made my heart stop. My brother was kneeling in front of his son's body which was now covered in a sea green shroud, sobbing his heart out. Right then and there I knew that Poseidon loved Percy more then any of other sons that he had ever sired. Even though on the outside I looked like a mean, egotistical jerk, I loved both my brothers and it was killing me to see him like this.

I walked over and put my hand on his shoulder. "Poseidon, maybe you should take your son's body out of the throne room because the others along with their children will be arriving soon and it would be best if we broke the news to them slowly," I said gently. Poseidon only nodded before he swept up his sons body and left the throne room.

I sat on my throne and sighed. In my many long years of ruling so many things had gone wrong. I needed to find a replacement and I just decided on who that will be. Poseidon,  my brother would make a better ruler then me. He was kind and honest and I knew that he would rule fairly. As soon as the demigods leave I will renounce my title as king of the gods and hand it to him. Not only will he be a better ruler but I also hope it will stop him from fading. I dint want my brother to leave and everyone would be devastated.

POSEIDON'S P.O.V.

As I carried my son out of the throne room my heart ached like it had never before. I loved him so much and never got to express it. I had lost many friends and family in my immortal life but none of there passing hurt as mush as his did. He was my favourite son and it wasn't even for all the things he had done. It was because I truly loved him, for his personality and his heart. I was going to, after the war offer to make him and his love immortal and asked if he wanted to be the heir to the seas, not Triton because Triton would make an awful leader. I had been excited and I knew that with his lover we would say yes and I would be able to spend more time with him, but that did not work out. Percy was gone and I would never see him again. I flashed out and brought him down to my palace, where I wanted him to touched the sea just one more time. Amphitrite was sitting on her throne as I walked in. Triton was standing by her side discussing god knows what.

"Poseidon, what are you carrying and you are late, we were supposed to go to dinner half an hour ago!" Amphitrite screeched at me.  

"This- i-is my s-s-son," I stuttered out. Triton  looked shocked before a look of sympathy flew other his face. i knew that even though he acted like he hated my demi-god sons I knew that it was his mother, feeding him the lines. He held nothing against my children and he was the only other who knew of my plans to replace him and he agreed that Perseus would make a better sea prince.

"So? Who cares, I want to go to dinner!" she shouted at me. I looked at her in horror before something unexpected happened. In a rush of bubbles she was on the floor with Triton on top of her.

"Don't you dare talk to father like that. Cant you see he is grieving for the loss of one of his children? What type of wife are you? Mother, you do not deserve him. Poseidon has been a nicer parent to me then you ever have. He has loved you and all you do in return is act selfish. No wonder he goes and has children with other women, I would too if you were my wife. You don't deserve any of this. You fed lies through my mouth which got sent to his children. Goodbye mother," he snarled before stabbing her with his trident. Triton then used all his godly powers to make her fade into the void.

I stood there staring, tears still rolling down my face. Triton actually did love my other children and he loved me. It made me so happy.

THIRS PERSONS VIEW

Poseidon gently placed Percy's body on a pedestal, and walked over and hugged Triton. Triton was surprised at this gesture but quickly returned the hug.

"I am sorry for your loss father. I know that Perseus meant a lot to you," They stood there in an embrace but no one noticed that the dead demi-god was lying lifeless on the table but somehow still, even after his passing, he wasn't getting wet.
