Hey guys! I'm back! Thanks to all of you who are still with me! Anyways, I've got some big news! First of all, I'm on Twitter! I'll give you guys updates on when I'm done procrastinating, maybe a sneak peek at the next chapter, stuff like that. My Twitter name is the same is as it is on FanFiction. And I've got the Soldiers-of-Chaos craze. Here goes!
I'm not gonna put up a disclaimer. You know why? Because you know that I'm not Rick Riordan. And if he reads this, he'll know that he's himself and I'm me. So there.
Chapter one: Finally done..
Percy's POV
"Say goodbye, Kampe!" I shouted, driving my sword through the monster's heart.
I watched as Kampe disintegrated, leaving behind a golf-ball-sized, gray gem.
"Finally," I started, picking up the gem. "After a year of tracking and slashing monsters... finally..."
"My gods, Perseus! How in the world are you done already?" A voice exclaimed from behind me.
"Lady Athena! I didn't expect you to be here so quickly." I whirled around to face the Goddess. She was wearing a simple tunic, and was looking at me in astonishment.
"I am a Goddess, and I sent you on this quest. I should've been here sooner." She explained
"Alright then... So, now that I've retrieved your gem, may I have your blessing to marry your daughter?" I asked hopefully.
"You must love her a lot..." Athena said
"She means everything to me." I said with every last bit of truth and confidence in the universe in my voice.
"Of course you may." She replied.
"Thank you so much!" I replied joyfully, giving Athena a hug. I then realized what I was doing and pulled away awkwardly.
"Good luck, Perseus." She said, enveloping us in a bright white light.
When the light dimmed, I was back at camp. In the dining pavilion during lunch, to be exact.
"It's Percy!" Someone shouted. The whole camp was swarming me in seconds; asking me questions and welcoming me back
"Guys! It's so great to see you all, but..." I realized no one could hear me.
"Guys! Guys! GUYS! LISTEN UP!" I shouted. That got their attention.
"It's great to see you all, but I really have to do something. Where's Annabeth?" I asked
Everyone's faces darkened
"Uh... she's by the beach..." Someone said.
"Thanks." I said, breaking into a run.
I felt weight in my pocket. I reached in there and found a silver ring with Athena's gem on it. On the opposite side, the Greek words Για πάντα glowed bright yellow. Forever. I couldn't imagine anything better to put there.
"Thank you again, Lady Athena" I said.
I was at the beach shortly. I saw my true love, the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life sitting there with... oh no...
The ring fell from my hands.
Muahahaha! I left you with a cliffhanger! I am evil!
I have the next chapter ready; I will put it up when I get some reviews. R&R Please!
