Hi everyone, I'm feeling really angsty, so I decided to make you feel angsty too!(Sorry)
I don't own anything other than my ideas that are created in my mind, which is supposed to be studying right now.
He is made of crystal
That's what annabeth thinks at first.
He distorts every thing around him, makes the world seem so strange, and makes decisions that should be simple completely different.
He is weak ,fragile ,she thinks he can't survive that long as a demigod. He would have probably died at the beginning of this quest without her. She's certain that she's right.
She decides it's her job to make sure he doesn't shatter like crystals eventually do.
She ignores the little voice that is telling her she's wrong.
...
She was wrong .
He is made of gold.
She is surprised that she got him wrong, but what she sees when she wakes up after the fleece heals her, or when he is dancing with her at the winter solstice is undoubtedly gold.
He didn't leave her or fade away with time , he stayed. A stable in her life that doesn't become dull like everything else does. But he is still fragile, could break under the pressure.
That is when she decides that it's her job to make sure he doesn't break.
The voice stil tells her that she's wrong
...
Wrong again
He is definitely made of fire.
She hates being wrong but the evidence is obvious .
The warmth that fills her up when she is frozen in place after seeing luke, the burning she feels when she sees the determination in his eyes and hears him telling her that he'll be okay, and most of all, that horrible heart wrenching cold that won't leave in those terrible weeks she thinks he is dead .
She decides that it's her job to keep the fire bright.
The voice tells her to stop trying.
...
This is getting tiring .
He is made of celestial bronze.
Riptide would dull in comparison with the sharpness of its owner , except he isn't just a sword, or a shield , or any weapon that she had ever seen .
But the point is that he doesn't care how many dents he receives, he will fight with everything he has for his family.
And it's her job to fix his dents.
If she could be wrong, so could the voice.
...
She's not perfect you know...
He is made of diamond.
What she mistook for a fragile crystal is actually the hardest material in nature , it just wasn't in the right light ,was always surrounded by shadows.
That is how he broke down all the walls she had built around, that's how she knows he knows he won't let go and let her fall down alone.
And it's her job to make sure that he is never surrounded by shadows again.
The voice is laughing
...
She was right. well ,mostly
His heart is gold, his blood is fire, his body and bones are celestial bronze. But no matter how bright he glows ,his soul was a crystal all along.
He is fragile, he had been trying to be a diamond, to carry all the weight, and it had been only a matter of time before he shattered.
She sees him break into millions of tiny pieces on the inside despite him slowly standing up and facing akhlys on the outside.
That's when she realizes that the voice had been also been right, because no matter what she does, or what he is made of, there is no way to fix him.
