Hey, Hey, Hey! RiptideLogic here. Been having a lot of Thalia Grace feels the past few weeks, and can't seem to find any complete stories of Thalia as one of the main heroes, thought I'd try at writing one myself.

Story Summary:

Thalia Grace was saved by her father, Zeus as she fought on top of Half-Blood Hill. Coming out from hiding she had quests for the master bolt, the Golden Fleece, and rescuing of the goddess and her hals-sister Artemis, she now has to take charge of Camp Half-Blood, and defend it from the non-stop onslaughts of the camp is having whilst think of something to do about the opening of Daedalus' Labyrinth.

Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, one of the five demigods destined to close the Doors of Death, has reached his breaking point with the gods, specifically Zeus. He has to put aside his growing displeasure with some gods and save the people who he has come to call family. But what if the only way out of hell, is through it?

Inspired by Advictorem.

Rated T mostly for language.

This story takes place after the Titan's Curse but before the Battle of the Labyrinth. First chapter is rough around the edges, and may seem very humdrum and ambiguous, but as the story progress, there will be explanations that will help link the story together (hopefully). It's basically if both series were combined into one.

I'm No Good Without You

The sound of the conch horn was heard.

Thalia sighed, putting her ebony bow down. Only 3 bullseyes out of 5, the daughter of Zeus had hoped for all bullseyes. She had stayed at Camp Half-Blood for the past summer, training with her spear and bow, sharpening her senses and improving her hand-to-hand combat.

Her bow shrunk to a leather cuff bracelet. Simply black, a lightning bolt embossed in the centre, it was a gift from her father after saving Artemis last summer.

She snapped the bracelet on as she walked towards the dining pavilion. She took her time, taking in the scenery before her. Sweaty campers fled the arena, hefty children of Hephaestus walked out of the forgery, children of Demeter carrying baskets of sweet, blood red strawberries, talked aimlessly as they strolled.

"Thalia! Wait up!" A voice hollered to her. She dug the heels of her combat boots into the ground as she turned to look at someone with the same eyes she had. Scarred lip stretched into a wide smile as Jason smiled and greeted his sister. Thalia gave her younger brother a smile, and walked by his side as they walked to the dining pavilion.

Yes, Thalia was reunited with her long lost brother the previous summer. Thalia, Percy, Grover and the hunters, Bianca and Zöe Nightshade, were sent to rescue the Goddess of Hunt, Artemis and Annabeth. On their way to Mount Othrys, the greeks and hunters bumped into the romans. Jason and his comrades were in the area scouting the area, picking up the increase of monster activities in California, and nearby their own roman camp.

After a heart-warming reunion, where Thalia may or may not have shed some tears, the romans, greeks and hunters joined forces and overcame the waves of enemies on Mount Othyrs. It sounds cliché but it was painful. Thalia fought Luke spear-to-sword, kicking him off the edge of a cliff, any hopes of him ever becoming good kicked off as well.

At the end of the chaotic day, Bianca di Angelo had replaced Zöe Nightshade as lieutenant of the Hunters. The latter had joined the night sky as a new constellation— the huntress. The whole lot of greek and roman were sent to Olympus, and the rest was history.

Well, actually, it's not history. Apparently, Mrs Pain-In-The-Ass declared that for the upcoming titan war, it'll be beneficial if the romans and greeks worked together. Hence, she sent Jason Grace, leader of the Camp Jupiter, to Camp Half-Blood, two months after the battle with Atlas. And after a few weeks, he was sent to save Hera with the companions he came with, a Cherokee chick and a Hispanic elf.

Kidnapped by Krios and his forces, the titan hoped that by taking the Queen of Olympus, they will throw Olympus into chaos and in the midst of the chaos, they had sent a wave of monsters to the Camp Half-Blood. As a backup plan, the titan had bargained with the Lord of the Skies for Hera.

Idiots really, titan or not, nobody should bargain with Zeus. By the end of the quest, Krios was defeated by Jason, and Hera was saved. Thalia would have left her to rot if she was the one sent to 'save' her.

A hand waved in front of her face, and she zapped out of her daydream. Jason's eyebrow furrowed, "Are you alright, sis?" "Fine, fine," Thalia responded. They sat down at Zeus' table. Heartfelt chatter heard throughout the amenity. Thalia's sapphire eyes wandered around, taking in the scene before her. Her eyes landed on the one the only empty table in the pavilion, the table of Poseidon.

Percy, Thalia thought, gods how I miss him. It's been months.

That is sadly true. While she stayed at Camp Half-Blood rallying the greek demigods, and her brother doing the same, sorry, had done with the roman demigods, Percy and Nico di Angelo would go off on missions, be it espionage or just reducing the number of monster camps and nests in the country. They haven't seen each other in 9, maybe even 10 months?

The last she had seen him was at the top of Half-Blood hill where they shared a parting kiss. They weren't dating, mostly due to the fact that Thalia wasn't able to grow some balls and ask him out, so after that kiss, she watched as the guy she likes, and possibly love, walked down and drove off with Nico di Angelo in the back of his convertible.

Her eyes then wandered to Cabin 8's table, the hunters were staying over. Artemis was called for an emergency meeting on Olympus, and needed her hunters to stay somewhere safe with some supervision since Bianca was still learning as the newly appointed lieutenant. The olive skinned daughter of Hades sat at the head, happily laughing at something one of her fellow huntress had said.

"Heroes!" Chiron called, the chatter in the pavilion ceased immediately, "After dinner, please head to the amphitheatre. All activities will be cancelled, there is," he paused, as if thinking on a better way to rephrase what he wants to say, "some pressing news that I think everyone should know. Hunters, Lady Artemis has asked that you join us in the amphitheatre. The news may affect some of you hunters. With that note, enjoy your dinner."

"He really needs to learn how to change subjects," Thalia muttered to Jason, who agreed. The usual routine of the nymphs bringing food and the offerings took place, and she found herself chewing on ribs, with some wings on the plate to her right. 4 plate pilled high with food was finished within minutes. Not as much as she would really eat, what Chiron said got to her.

What news is so important for the whole camp to hear?

The Grace siblings walked side by side to the amphitheatre, and gradually sat down in their usual spot. The elder Grace took note of the rougher waves today, and the heavy tremors coursing through the earth.

Since yesterday, the waves crashing on Long Island has been more violent, relentless attacking the shores. Harsh storms thundering every now and then. Tremors ever so light, danced under every camper's feet. What got Poseidon so pissed?

An 8-year-old girl sat by the hearth of camp, she poked the glowing coals nervously before dropping the stick and settling for staring at the fire. The campers were tensed, some whispering. The campfire was a dull grey tonight.

"Campers, we have some visitors today, so please behave," Chiron said sternly, and as if rehearsed, a blinding light erupted from behind Chiron. Apollo stepped out, and instead of sporting his usual megawatt grin, he wore a forced smiled. The campers stood up to bow to him, his cabin smiling at their father.

"Hello children," Apollo started, "I've dropped by to update you guys on the current situation. As you know, the Doors of Death has been opened and Thanatos has been captured by titans. As a result, the monsters don't die, and if they do, they don't stay dead. As part of an old prophecy, Lady Hera had sent Jason as part of an exchange between the greeks and romans, so that both fractions will trust each other and work together to close the Doors of Death. You must all be wondering, if Jason was sent here, who was sent to Camp Jupiter?"

Murmurs broke out amongst the campers. They looked around, trying to spot anyone missing.

"It was Percy, wasn't it?" Beckendorf asked, his gruff voice piercing through the other voices.

"Smart boy," Apollo gave a weak chuckle, "Young Perseus was sent to Camp Jupiter as the Greeks' Ambassador, Nico di Angelo was also sent there. It was a successfully exchange, Jason got accepted here, and Percy was given praetorship, after he freed Thanatos from his chains in Alaska."

The god nodded to himself, letting the information sink into the campers. The campers turned to a gobsmacked Jason, silent questions in the air, "Praetor is the leader of the roman legion back in camp but— but it takes years for someone to gain praetorship."

The greeks smiled, that's Percy for you, rising against the odds. Chiron sported a grin, happy that his student got up the Roman ranks quick.

Annabeth's voice pierces through the amphitheater, "He went to Alaska? As in Alaska, the land beyond the gods?" The campers looked worried, while Thalia looked pale in the light of the dull campfire.

"Yup," Apollo replied, "The one place that the gods cannot reach, the one place that we cannot send help or appear to them for help but they did splendidly."

Apollo continued, "Recently, Camp Jupiter has let 5 of their campers to embark on a quest, Percy and Nico included, to close Doors of Death. They headed to Epirus in Greece—"

"Woah, Greece? That must be amazing," a camper from Athena's cabin said in awe. Malcolm, Thalia remembered his name was.

The God of Light shook his head, a pained expression on his face, "You see on their way to Greece, they had made a stop at Rome. There was a gathering in Rome for monsters and titans, where the Princess Andromeda would dock and pick them up. You see, even though Thanatos is free, monsters can still escape Tartarus through the still opened Doors of Death. Which meant that Kronos can still strategically choose which monsters he want."

"So naturally, he would let the strongest beasts out," A voice finished. The air beside Apollo shimmered, the campers turned away from the silver light.

"What are you doing here?" Apollo asked Artemis. The goddess of hunt's silver orbs glanced at Bianca, and Apollo nodded in understanding. The maiden goddess walked over to her hunters and sat down beside the daughter of Hades.

"Yes, as Artemis mentioned, Rome was infested with the strongest monsters, beasts and titans. Under orders from Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, they were tasked to reduce the monsters gathered and to destroy the Princess Andromeda," Apollo picked up from where Artemis left. There was a pregnant pause. The campers watched as the usually chatty God struggled to carry on.

"They—they were able to reduce almost all monsters and sink the Princess Andromeda," he was cut off by the cheers erupting from the campers. The Princess Andromeda destroyed? Damn it, Percy. How am I going to compete with that? Thalia thought.

His pained voice echoed, "But it came with a price."

The cheering stopped. She didn't realise that she repeated it out loud, "A price." Her voice loud in the eerie silence. The daughter of Zeus blinked. Every pair of eyes were trained at the god of Sun, and asked, "What price?"

Apollo opened and closed his mouth numerous times, thinking of the best way to deliver it. But guessed that it was better to rip off the band aid, "Nico di Angelo and Percy Jackson had fallen into Tartarus."

So that concludes chapter uno, how was it? Yeah, Bianca is alive in this one. Don't really have the heart to kill her and thought it's be interesting to have her view in the story. I'll be altering between my two stories so maybe a weekly or fortnight updates for both stories? The updates can come faster if the creative juices are playing nice.

I've thought of having fun with this story by challenging myself into working some headcanons into the story, or at least attempting to. So feel free to send me some headcanons or posts that y'all see. It could be humorous, serious, affectionate. Do note that it is a Perlia story, and that the prophecy age is 18 instead of 16.
