Achieving the Unachievable

The war with giants was over at last but the price was too heavy for the heroes of Olympus. Such heavy losses were irreversible and the heroes were near annihilated.

These losses were nothing in comparison to the loss that the hero of Olympus had to endure. The near price of the sacrifice that he had to make nearly drove him insane and to suicide.

Percy was one noble hero but as always the fate seem to enjoy tormenting him.

The losses of his dear ones brought upon rage and anger. So much so that Earth herself was scared of him.

After closing the gates in Greece Percy Annabeth and the rest of the seven sailed towards Greece.

On the way to Athens they worked as a team and defeated any challenge that the giants had thrown upon them. Percy and Annabeth although not fully recovered played an important role.

By the time they reached Athens they had obtained the potion to revive the dead, freed Apollo and Artemis along with Asclepius, they even managed to control the makhai and defeat phobos and Deimos.

But doing so had taken a greater toll on the demigods than they had anticipated and by the time they reached Athens they were in no condition to fight and defeat the giants.

But the demigods were not easily swayed from their course. Their determination was not the problem. No the problem was the indecision of the gods. Not all of them wanted to risk getting skewered by the giants. So they decided to see whether the demigods could hold their own against the giants only then they would help them. But this paranoid decision was not followed by all. Poseidon saying it would be unbearable to lose his favourite son decided to join him in battle. Hades also followed his younger brother voicing the same thoughts. Artemis also went to battle along with her hunters saying that she owed that much to the demigods who helped her. Apollo also followed her sister's footsteps and added that the demigods were too 'awesome' to die. Mars also followed his brethren not wanting to miss out on such a terrific war. But rest of the Olympic council were in an indecision about joining the battle.

The rest of council argued among themselves. Some wanting to join their children whereas rest were in indecision. In this arguing fit they missed what was going on in the battle of Athens. At last Jupiter decided it was time for the mighty Olympic council to aid their children in the battle.

Initially seeing a majority of golden dust they were overjoyed. But what met their eyes when they reached the battle field was gruesome. Poseidon single handed fought against two giants and still seemed to hold his own. He was fighting with his trident against the lion giant Leo shooting water beams towards the bane of fates.

Artemis was knocked out and several of her hunter were dead whereas all were injured.

Hades was fighting his bane along with his Nico but neither seemed to be in a good condition. Nico was on the verge of collapsing due to sheer exhaustion.

Porphyrion was holding his own against the seven excluding Percy and Annabeth on his own. The five even though were giving their best didn't seem to make any kind of progress towards defeating the bane of Zeus.

Apollo and Ares seemed exhausted even though they were gaining upon the bane of Artemis. Suddenly Ares using the advantage of his long sword tried to bring him down by diminishing his vision. He started revolving around the body of the giant in supersonic speed, using his pyro kinesis powers he lit his body and swords on fire and the body of the giants especially the legs received many cuts and gashes courtesy of the god of war. Meanwhile Apollo using the distraction of the giant fired down a barrage of arrows upon the giant. The giant terribly overwhelmed fell upon the ground. Ares changed into his roman aspect and charged at him Apollo also fired down arrows upon him, at the same time frank joined him and started firing arrows upon him. The body of Orion slowly crumbled into another pile of golden dust.

In the meantime what most of the gods did not notice was not gone unnoticed by the goddess of wisdom. In one secluded corner of the field the saviour of Olympus was crouched over the crumpled body of the heroine and the architect of Olympus. Tears were running down furiously down his face while he tried to comfort his love. Annabeth was no better when she was trying to alleviate Percy's pain and telling him to move on while trying to form her last words. At last she was able form her last words and fell down on the arms of the boy who went to hell for her sake.

The next moments were what determined the outcome of the battle. Heart wrenching screams filled the air of Athens. The teary face of the hero of Olympus changed to one of fierce determination.

With a graceful jump he jumped 50 feet up into air and fell towards the ground looking like the angel of destruction. The giants felt a chill down their spine and felt a emotion new to them, fear for the angel of destruction was coming for them.

But another unnoticed event passed, where the blood of Olympus was spilled upon the sacred grounds. It was not enough though. As a mound of earth rose radiating power more than the council of gods combined, The saviour of Olympus landed gracefully yet in a deadly fashion on the grounds of Athens unleashing a earthquake which when measured would have gone beyond the Richter scale and beyond the power of any quake ever summoned. This caused the mound of earth rising to break from the ground and flew upwards. With another graceful jump the angel went towards the lump of earth and kicked it even further upwards.

What happened next surprised even the goddess of wisdom. A terrible storm seemed to come upon the place, a huge tornado enveloped the son of Poseidon as he flew, yeah flew towards the piece of earth. The storm dissipated as he reached there but he was still airborne but was in a clear vision. Then he coated the piece of earth in a thick sheet of water and brought out his sword. He paused as if contemplating on his actions then suddenly the sword burst into flames with a coating of water. He then swung it as if attempting to cut it into pieces but what happened next was shocking. The sword when met with the earth which was then steadily gaining a face and body, it quaked with a power stronger than the previous earthquake brought upon the earth by him.

A distinct shout of feminine voice "NOO" was heard before it crumpled and burst into more than a million pieces. The giants watched transfixed as their doom came closer.

He then slowly descended upon the earth and seemed to convulse but actually he released a field of electricity which decimated the giants. Following, he spoke in a voice so loud that it seemed to break the walls of the nearby temple.

"Rejoice today Olympians and my comrades in arms for the earth mother no longer exists. Now excuse me".

With that little notice which brought chills down the spine of the majority gods even though it was it meant to be comforting he vanished.

Signing out with love,

Leo
