Why hello everyone, I'm back! -cue evil laughter-. So, this story is Lisdan, the third part of the Leila Night series. Not sure yet if there are going to be any more. If you haven't read Broken Promises and the sequel Trying To Remember, go read it now or else you will be terribly confused! Thank you Megirl97 for adding me to favorite author and author alert :D
Greyeyedowl98: You're stunned? Woo!

Leila Night, the only daughter of Artemis, finally confessed. The dreams were becoming too much to bear. They weren't regular demigod dreams-those were a nightmare- no, she dreamed of a place named Lisdan. In Lisdan, she met a young girl, who was named Naomi Nicole Jackson, who showed her the dead body of Percy Jackson. It turns out, that little girl is Percy's and Leila's daughter. Leila was kidnapped by a group of men and taken to a castle where Nate and Nicky were the new King and Queen of Lisdan. They sentenced her to be hanged.
The three of them were shocked at Leila's story. Percy was the affected most, he didn't move for two minutes. Leila didn't blame him, learning that he had a daughter was definitely a shocker. Nate and Nicky didn't like the fact they were so cruel to her.
"W-We have a daughter." Percy said once the other two left.
"Yes, Perseus," She smiled slightly. "Naomi."
"Such a beautiful name," He smiled to himself. "I bet she was beautiful like you."
Leila blushed. "She had your eyes and your smile," Her smile fell. "but it was only a dream."
"One day when we're older, we'll have a child just like Naomi."
"You really think so?"
"I know so."
Her smile reappeared. "Technically, you just asked me to marry you."
"And what do you say?"
Leila pretended to ponder over it. A worried look crossed over his face. "Yes, Perseus. Did you really think I was going to refuse?"
He blushed. "Yes."
She kissed his cheek. "Perseus, I love you so much."
"I love you, too, Leila."
They sat there in silence locked in each other's embrace. Leila was content and joyful for the first time. Not once did she think of Lisdan, and she preferred it that way.
"Leila," Percy started, disturbing the quiet, "what if what you dreamed wasn't just a dream, but a glimpse of the future?"
She had considered it before, but dismissed it quickly. At the time, she thought it was foolish to believe in a nonexistent land, but now, it seemed to be a possibility. If it was the future, that meant it held no Percy for her to love.
"I don't want it to be the future." She whispered.
Percy looked at her puzzled. "Why not? We would have a beautiful daughter-"
"Yes, but you will die later on," Her voice cracked. "I don't want my future to be without you."
He kissed her forehead and rubbed her ring finger. "Don't think of the negatives, Leila, I've lived a good life."
"No, don't you say that, Perseus. Please, don't." Her body began to tremble as the urge to cry became overpowering.
"Not everyone's life has a happy ending."
"Your mother gave you the name 'Perseus' because he was the only hero who had a happy ending." She let one tear fall.
He wiped it away. "That doesn't mean I'll have one. As long as I spend my life with you, I'll be happy."
"Please, leave." He obeyed her wishes and left her to her thoughts. He shouldn't have left.
I'm sorry it's kind of short, I'll try and make longer chapters! I love you all! Review! :)
