Project Destruction

Underwhelming Emotions

Percy pov:

     I stumbled out of the brush battered and bruised but other than that unharmed. I checked my watch and read the time aloud.

  "4:30 am, they should be here by now." I muttered to myself.

  I was about fifteen miles west of camp. It's been about three weeks since the seven arrived back to the states. Everything has been chaos since we arrived with defeating the earth mother and her giant children.

  Behind the others backs I've been meeting with a general of Gaea's army assessing the rest of the primordial's once great army.

   A snap brought him out of his musings.

  "Your late." I stated to the hooded figure.

     "Watch your tongue filthy half blood. Your lucky I'm even deciding to help you, scum." A deep Male's voice croaked out.

   "Yeah, yeah, now where are they located and how many monsters are there?" I asked growing impatient.

   "Six-hundred strong and they are located at the titans curse. It seems Prometheus is planning on going into hiding for a few years while building his army to surprise Olympus and take those dumb gods by surprise." The man continued. "I believe he plans on attempting to release Atlas to help him in his endeavor to conquer Olympus. That is all I have if I find anything else out I'll contact you, filth." He basically snarled before disappearing into nothingness.

    I pondered my options. Technically I'm  betraying the gods with meeting and discussing these things with a once enemy of Olympus but it must be done. If Prometheus is able to release Atlas than the gods will be in trouble. There is no telling what assets the General still has considering he was a commanding officer of both the first and second titan wars.

  I began to make his way back to the camp. Camp half blood was my home away from home but recently I started to suspect something was up. The gods still haven't rewarded the seven and Annabeth and I had grown distant since we arrived.

   It must have been from their time down in Tartarus. 'I did what had to be done'.

  The walk back to camp had an eerie feel to it.  Something didn't feel right as he walked cautiously.

Linebreak

   As I walked past the barrier and into the camp I noticed that no one was around. That's strange. I decided to check around camp to see if I could find anyone.

   After searching the entire camp I decided to IM Nico.

  The light shimmered before slowly showing Nico's face.

  "Nico where is everyone. No one is at camp did something happen?" I asked sort of worried.

  Nico answered "Everyone has been taken to Olympus for the awards ceremony. We looked around for you but like always you weren't around to be found."

  I noticed the way he said it he kind of sounded angry but decided to keep to myself about it.

  "That's actually perfect," I muttered before continuing. "Okay tell Annabeth and the others that I will be gone for a little while. There are some loose ends I need to tie up."

   "Where are you going?" He asked.

  "No where important." I said cryptically

"Alright but what about the awards ceremony you might miss out on your gift." He said sounding slightly concerned.

  "Don't worry about it." I said simply before cutting off the message.

   Now down to business with everyone gone from camp leaving will be quite easy. I can start this mission without having to explain myself.
