Aside from his father, Hestia is possibly Percy's best relationship with a god. Percy actually first saw Hestia his first day at camp but thought she was an eight-year-old girl. However, he is presumed dead after fighting the embodiment of Tartarus and ensuring Percy and Annabeth reach the mortal world safely in The House of Hades. His last words to Percy and Annabeth were, "Tell the sun and the stars hello for me." Shortly after the defeat of Gaea and the Giants in The Blood of Olympus, Percy was asked by a publisher in New York to record and write down what he knows about the Olympian gods, to which the young demigod agreed, reasoning that it would help inexperienced demigods survive any unexpected divine encounters with a major Olympian. Percy proceeds to compile all of the stories that the demigods of Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter told him over the years. Sand Dollar: A Sand Dollar that was given Percy him for his 15th birthday by his father. He split it in half, giving one half to the Hudson River and the other half to the East River gods to stop Kronos' forces on boats in The Last Olympian.

When Magnus got home, he called Percy and Annabeth, who just arrived in New Rome. Percy told Annabeth to ask Magnus if he followed his advice on the quest, and Magnus told her to tell Percy that he kept his butt clenched like he said. Percy was upset during the phone call because of Jason's death. As a son of Poseidon, Percy is an extremely powerful individual and one of the most powerful demigods in the series. The only other demigods whose powers rival his are Thalia Grace, Nico di Angelo and Jason Grace. He has fought and defeated many monsters probably more than any other demigod in the series, including other demigods, gods, and Titans. On more than one occasion, Percy has contributed to the salvation of Olympus and the world as a whole. Nico later states in The Mark of Athena that Percy is the most powerful demigod that he has ever met which includes the other members of the Seven who are all extremely powerful in their own right such as Frank Zhang and Jason Grace, the latter of whom is depicted as being nearly equal with Percy in terms of sheer power. In The Chalice of the Gods, it's mentioned that Percy mostly has full control over his powers, but they can get away from him in moments of rage. Percy's display of power in one of these moments is enough to frighten a river god to tears. A few days after his return from Tartarus, he asked Jason to protect Annabeth for him when she was accompanying him to Ithaca, since he was staying behind to watch threats from the sea. Jason squeezed his shoulder and promised she would return to her safely. A few days later, Reyna Ramírez-Arellano gave he and Annabeth the news that they could go to college and live out their lives in New Rome. Nico approached the two after he heard them cheer, and they told Nico the good news. Nico was happy and told them he was staying at Camp, which Percy was happy about. Nico then decided to clear the air with Percy, since they would be seeing each other often, and said he had a crush on him but he was over it. Percy was surprised, looking at Annabeth, then at Nico, and could barely get a word in, asking for clarification. Nico reassured him that it was cool and though he was cute, he wasn't his type, and bid the two goodbye to join Will Solace.
