I wake up with a ringing my my ears I have to look out for those clubs. I force myself up so I see what exactly is going on around me. On the far left a giant girl made out of gems and other precious metals sounding a girl in the center fighting the ocean daughter who did the same with water from the nearby river. Just a little over to the right is the Ghost king and his sister fighting the heroes who died. I look up just above the Ghost King and I see the flirt in the sky fighting his dead brother. The two fastest people on this battlefield, the war vet and the new recruit, the son of the god war (not the game) vs the daughter of the god thieves, fighting as top speed. In the center of the battlefield three children of Athena are have a three way battle. A little ways back the Hunters of Artemis are fight the Amazons. Their leaders, Thaila and Hyllia (leaders of resective factions,) locked in a deathmatch pairing each other in strikes each other abilities. Thing thing that really caught my attention is the fact that Clarisse and another child of war are taking on most of Aphrodite's children. You'd think she would have no problem, I mean their the children of the goddess of love. She not winning. Dam machine guns and their leader's charmspeak. But she was getting help from some asian girl with a bow? Gods be damned why can't I remember her name. What truly is the spectacle of the battle-the main event-the bloodbath between the corrupted nicest daughter of Apollo, her sister of Love and her squad of rebels and monsters fighting just about anyone who's anyone, even the oracle.
So now I'm at a crossroads I have three options:
Option one: I get up and go back into this fight helping the 'heroes'
Option two: I sit here and wait till the fight ends and blend into the winning crowd
Option three: I get up and walk away from everything all of this utter madness I wouldn't have been the first...
But after these last six months I just don't know anymore. My girlfriend left me for her cause in this fight. My city fell. I went blind in one eye. I've tried helping but when I did more people ended up dead. I think it's time. It's time for me to retire from being a demigod. I take out the last gift she gave me, a way out for all of this a chance to have a normal life. I finally look at it... It's um... a gem err... what did she say a teleportation crystal? Gah fuck my head all I remember her saying is, "Look I can't come with you I'm needed here. If you want to see me and HELP ME then take the teleportation crystal and say your name, and 'I wish to seek refuge from this war.' I'll be there maybe not right away but I will be there."
"My name is Frank Zhang, Former Praetor of New Rome, I wish to seek refuge from this war."
They crystal lights up and a veil of light appear in front of me waiting for me to go through.
I look back one last time at the battle field one last time and mutter, "I'm sorry Percy... I'm sorry I couldn't save you." and a walk into the light.
NEXT THE BEGINNING.
