"James don't we can fall back, we don't have to face them now." Percy said. The boy James was a year younger than Percy, an outside, a son of Apollo who didn't sing or dance or shoot a bow, he had dark hair unlike his blond siblings, only thing they shared was their father's eyes.
He shook his head at the future savior of Olympus, the boy had one gift from his father, he had the gift of prophecy, not that anyone knew but he was born with it and knew only few children of the sun god have ever had the talent.
James also knew that he would die today, granted a better way than he originally planned but he could at least save a few lives before leaving his.
"Percy, I'm sorry but the army going to be here in exactly three minutes so I'm going to tell you some I really need to get off my chest. I was going to kill myself three months ago," Percy choked a bit "but my friend convinced me not to, but I still have to die and by Hades, Percy I'm going to die for a good cause. I, like my father get visions of the future, I saw myself dying, here in two minutes. I need to do this, and you need to save Olympus, I know you're going to" James said pointing to his eyes, Percy's eyes widen at the statement but didn't look sure.
"My gift hasn't always helped me save others, but right now I'm saving the lives of four demigods, one is a ten year old kid, and kids shouldn't be killed in a war, not even the god's."
"who stopped you before" Percy said referring to James's almost suicide, "Darcy" Percy's eyes widen so much it would have been comical had it not been it that situation. Darcy was James's best-friend, until she had died one month ago in a monster attack on half-blood hill saving a young daughter of Demeter.
"Is there anything I can do" Percy asked in desperation.
"Don't forget me" James said his last words to Percy before running towards the monster army with a sword and three jars of greek fire.
Percy watched in awed fascination as a boy his junior, died taking on a monster army with bravery he could only having.
James was a true hero, and he would never forget that.
