Ahmm…I knew I said I wouldn't post anything but I had some free time and just couldn't resist. This is just a little something I thought up when I was bored. Hope ya all enjoy it and review!
(This is basically a letter written by Annabeth to Percy after the gods reward them and she has accepted godhood and he didn't.)
Dear Percy,
I do hope you'll understand why I made the choices I did. Don't you ever dare think that I didn't love you, I do, but you've seen it all. My ambitions, my dreams, my weaknesses. You've seen them all. And I'm sorry, but I feel just so…uneasy knowing that someone knows me perhaps even better than I do myself.
You know I am a daughter of Athena. My fatal flaw is hubris. I am arrogant, conceited, haughty, prideful, pompous. I admit it. And thus, you know why, when the gods offered me godhood I just had to accept it.
We both knew my fatal flaw would tear us apart someday. We just never thought that day would come so soon.
I knew what I was going to do when you looked at me pleadingly as the gods announced that they were giving us godhood. And you knew, too. There was that defeated look in your eyes I never want to see again. And I am so sorry, but you know—that our love was never meant to last.
There are many things I want to do. Now that I am a god, the things I can do are no longer limited. I have power. And I know you never wanted power. That was what made us so different.
But don't you see, Percy? You are no longer restrained by me. You can go out, explore the world, do things I would never allow you to do if we were together. And I just know you will find happiness one day.
I want to build something that would last forever. Buildings can, if they are preserved properly. Our love can't. It was never even meant to happen. But love is fickle, it is reckless, and I'm so sorry, but the last spark of our love has died out.
Our love was never meant to last. I knew that, and so did you. But we clung to our love because we wanted to believe that it was possible, that love could overcome any hardship, even the old rivalry between Athena and Poseidon could be overcame.
But now, I have grown, and I have understood. It couldn't. Love is feeble and weak, there aren't ever any happy endings. Those are just a lie fabricated to keep young children entertained.
Percy, you must accept the cold hard truth. Our love was never meant to happen nor last. The famed couple, "Percabeth", has ended.
Annabeth,
Goddess of Architecture and Battle Strategy
(Btw, I had a review about how someone 'hated' me cause there wasn't Percabeth. I would like to tell that person that he/she saw the summary. If you hated no Percabeth then don't read this. Don't click. Seriously, why'd you bother? I wrote it clear in the summary: Annabeth accepted godhood. Percy didn't. What part of that did you not understand?)
