Line Break

Percy POV

We were on our way to the Olympian Throne Room. Our faces were drenched in sweat and blood as we were trying to make our way to Kronos. Our tattered, exhausted bodies tried to tell us to stop, but our mission was clear. We had to stop Kronos from his madness or Olympus would be destroyed.

I am accompanied by Grover and Annabeth, my two best friends. I would go through Hades and back for both of them. But, I did venture with Hell with both of them. I would die 100 times for them and I would be glad to do so, just to see them safe. My fatal flaw is loyalty. I believe that's the best one to possess. There is no desire for power or a huge sense of pride. My fatal flaw is loving others.

"Are you ready guys?" I asked.

Both nodded their heads in agreement as I kicked open the door.

What we saw was Kronos starting to destroy the Olympian thrones. Kronos was still in Luke's body.

"Percy Jackson, hero of the prophecy," Kronos growled. "Walking straight into your death."

"As if, Kronos." I spat.

I began to charge at him, but he slowed time down and swatted me directly into Ares' throne. My Achilles' curse prevented me from getting seriously hurt, but I heard a couple of ribs breaking. Kronos began to walk towards me, but Grover stepped into the way and got smacked within seconds. I love Grover, but that was seriously stupid. I knew he was being the protector he was and I love him for that.

I stood up and continued to attack Kronos. Each attempt was unsuccessful. I stabbed, jabbed, swung, but Kronos had the swordsmanship like Luke. Luke knew how to counter every single one of my moves.

I swung again, nailing a shot across his chest. He staggered, but got back up onto his feet. I charged as soon as he tried to get up, but he slowed down time. I knew I was only stalling and was only waiting for the gods, but at this rate, I would be too worn out. Kronos would assume his new form and he would be unstoppable.

I charged at him but Kronos slowed time long enough for him to get up. Kronos smacked the hilt of his sword at my chest and I flew back into Hera's throne. I destroyed her armrest while my collarbone broke.

Kronos chuckled as he walked slowly close towards me. "Perseus Jackson, my dear grandson. The battle is lost. Look and see."

He roared at the goddess Iris to show me the gods' battle with Typhon.

I saw a giant 40-foot monster with reptilian skin with eagle talons. I never knew fear until I saw his face. His face was everchanging, with his face changing with something scarier than the last.

Zeus impaled Typhon straight in the chest, with the giant monster only staggering and then standing straight up. He was headed towards Olympus. Within minutes, he would destroy Olympus.

Then out of nowhere, a loud conch horn blew within the distance. The Hudson River opened at its base, and a chariot dragged by two horses with Poseidon and Amphitrite leading the charge. Tyson and the Cyclops followed with them as well. Poseidon's army were armed with rope and chain as they chained Typhon quickly. Poseidon opened up Tartarus as Typhon was dragged into Tartarus.

Kronos slashed the Iris message and his face was filled with anger.

"It's over, Kronos!" I yelled.

"It isn't over till I say it's over." Kronos bellowed.

Just then, Kronos's body radiated with red and his eyes glowed yellow.

A white flash appeared before us as we covered our eyes. What we say was Luke sprawled on the marble floor. Luke looked weak and he was coughing blood as he was shivering to the cold atmosphere.

Annabeth rushed to Luke's side and pulled him back to us.

"Luke!" Annabeth shrieked as tears stream down her face. "I knew you would be back!"

We were interrupted by Kronos. "YES! My true form! I am more powerful than the Olympians once again!"

I wasted no time in rushing to charge him. I slashed once where his head would have been, but he ducked and punched me in the gut. His punch was more powerful than anything I have ever felt. I choked out blood before I swung Riptide again at his chest. My strike was successful this time as golden ichor was dripping down his chest. I felt satisfied until it healed right before my eyes in a matter of seconds.

My eyes widened as I knew I couldn't beat him. Kronos was invincible and we were too late.

"Enough games, Perseus." Kronos chuckled.

He punched me right in the face and I fell to the floor instantly.

Kronos pushed me aside and went along with Luke and Annabeth.

"My dear grandchildren, would you like to live?" Kronos said calmly.

Annabeth said nervously, "O-of course, Lord Kronos."

Kronos gave a dry smile. "I am currently weak in my new form. I can easily kill both of you, but I cannot take on the whole Olympian council at this moment. What I can do for you is to choose. If you don't choose, I'll kill you and choose myself. I want a wise decision from a daughter of Athena."

"W-w-what do you want me to choose?" Annabeth asked nervously.

"Luke or Perseus," Kronos said calmly.

"Why do you want me to choose?" Annabeth said in a shocked voice.

"I need a strong second-in-command. Someone to lead my army. A commander. Both these fine gentlemen can leave my army, I'm sure. But the two of them, no way. Their pasts would easily conflict and we can't have that, can we? Or on the other hand, I'll just kill which one you choose." Kronos said as he walked straight up to Annabeth.

"I-I-I don't know." Annabeth said quietly.

"I need an answer soon, my dear." Kronos said sternly.

I had lain on the floor with no energy. His punch had drained all my energy and I couldn't will myself up. Luke was too weak to defend Annabeth and Grover was incapable of doing anything at this point. Annabeth had to choose between me and Luke. I smiled because I had known Annabeth would have chosen me. We had gone through too much for her to pick Luke over me.

"How do I know you won't kill me after I choose?" Annabeth asked.

Kronos groaned. "Fine. I swear on the Styx to not kill you after you make your choice for Perseus or Luke."

Thunder rumbled in the distance.

"F-fine, I choose..." Annabeth paused for a second, thinking over her decision for one last time.

"Luke." She whispered quietly.

Kronos heard this whisper and chuckled loudly.

"You chose a mediocre demigod over the strongest demigod in existence! I trust your judgment, Annabeth Chase." Kronos said.

I instantly felt betrayed and weakened. Annabeth chose the traitor, Luke over me? I have been loyal to her ever since we were 12. I travelled across the country for her. I journeyed the Labyrinth with her. I sacrificed my body to get her out of Mt. St. Helens. She was my mortal anchor. My Wise Girl.

Suddenly the giant doors of the Council Room opened as 10 Olympians were in their battle armor.

Among the most impressive was Zeus was in golden armor with his lightning bolt in hand. Next, Poseidon was in his Tommy Bahama shorts and Hawaiian shirt with his trident and net. Finally, Hades strode in with his helm of darkness and black cloak with Stygian Iron armor and sword.

The other gods flooded in as well. Hera, Artemis, Apollo, Demeter, Hermes, Aphrodite, and Ares were present with Hephaetus and Dionysus out of the battle.

Kronos reacted to this and grabbed me with my shirt. He held me with his scythe pointed to my neck. As I was being pulled up, I realized some words of the prophecy.

The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap.

I was the hero and my soul would be reaped.

A single choice shall end his days.

Annabeth's choice had ended me. The prophecy was fulfilled. Olympus would be either saved or razed. That was yet to come.

Every Olympian's mouth was opened as they saw me on Kronos.

Zeus was the first to speak. "Father, release the boy."

Kronos smiled. "My youngest son. How good it is to see you."

Poseidon spoke next. "Let my son go!"

Poseidon's plead for Percy almost seemed hopeless. He knew it was impossible for Kronos to release Percy, but he had to try. He felt obliged to. His greatest pride was taken away from him just like that. The look of his face was almost too unbearable to look on.

Kronos smiled again. "Nonsense, I wish to take young Perseus for a trip. Some grandfather-grandson bonding."

"Let the boy go now, or face the wrath of the Olympians." Poseidon screamed.

"Never." Kronos said sternly.

Zeus spent no time attacked Kronos. Instantly he nodded his head to his family and they nodded back. Zeus threw his lightning bolt straight for Kronos.

With cat-like reflexes, Kronos stabbed me straight in the back, and I screamed in agony.

The rest of the Olympians fired without hesitation. Kronos took almost every attack and fell to his knees. Without a word, Hades opened up Tartarus.

"Your return was short, father. Enjoy eternity in hell, again." Hades spat.

"My son, do not fear. I will be back. It may be next year, or centuries. But I will be back. And I swear I will raze Olympus brick by brick." Kronos said with sweat ringing down his face.

"Goodbye father." Hades said and flicked his hand motioning Kronos and myself down to Tartarus.

I said nothing but looked into all the Olympians and Annabeth and Luke and gave them one final look. The look was an innocent, but it was striking as I descended down to Tartarus.

I looked at the sky and all the stars as that might have been my final look at them, and for once, I noticed how beautiful they were. I was sent down to Tartarus with one tear trickling down my cheek.
