Hello people of wherever you are. I'm so sorry for not updating this yesterday, but I was really busy. Anyways, glad you want to read this. And I'm sorry to disappoint you, but there will be no OCs this chapter either. Sorry. Anyways... happy reading!
I probably just did the most cowardly thing ever. I don't really care though; it was too awful to bear. We were fighting the Titan army, which seemed to be almost as endless as my dad's army of the dead. I wasn't really sure who was winning. I didn't even know how many monsters I killed, I just knew that I had to kill as many monsters as possible so they wouldn't be able to get into the elevator, which would have been really bad.
I should probably describe the situation to you. This was the Battle of Manhattan or whatever, and also my cousin's birthday. I am a demigod, which means one of my parents is an Olympian. We were fighting in front of the Empire State Building, which is now where Olympus is located. If the monsters, evil creatures that love to destroy demigods, got into the elevator, than the battle would be over. The Titan ruler and the Lord of Time, Kronos, was up there already with one of his thugs, and he was trying his hardest to destroy Olympus and get revenge for being chopped into a thousand pieces. The battle had been going on for days, and I could tell that this day was when the battle would end, one way or another.
Anyway, in the midst of hacking down monsters like I had never done before with my sword, I saw a window on the 100th floor of the Empire State Building open. Then, I saw a body being tossed out the window, where he was suspended in midair for a few seconds. Soon, everyone's attention turned to the boy hanging outside the window. Then he fell. As he was falling, I saw his body clear enough, and for one of the first times in my life I began to tear up, because I recognized his body. He was Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, and my cousin. I looked away before he landed, I didn't want to see what was about to happen. He had the curse of Achilles, which would make him invincible, but from 100 stories up, I'm pretty sure every bone in his body would have broken, even if he didn't land on his weak spot. Actually, he never told me his weak spot. Then the elevator came down, and I saw a limp body that belonged to a girl with blonde hair… It was Annabeth, Percy's best friend and maybe girlfriend? Then I ran. The two strongest campers at Camp Half-Blood, a safe haven where demigods can train, were both dead. I knew this battle, and this war, was lost. I wonder what Percy did that let Kronos beat him. After all, according to a prophecy, it said a decision by Percy would determine the fate of Olympus, and now Percy was dead. I couldn't believe it, but it was true.
Oh by the way, my name is Nico. Nico di Angelo, son of Hades.
