A story for Helios and Selene in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians / The Heroes of Olympus / The Kane Chronicles Universe
The Fading Author is sleeping soundly in her bed all nice and comfortable.
Selene comes in and turns on all the lights and jumps up and down on The Fading Author's bed.
Selene: *jumping up and down* WAKE UP! WAKE UP! It's time for the disclaimer!
The Fading Author: *shrieks as she falls out of the bed* *after recovering looks at the clock* ITS FREAKING 2:30 IN THE MORNING! *sighs* Okay just get on with it.
Selene: *still jumping up and down on the bed* The Fading Author does not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians nor The Heroes of Olympus or any other book series. Please excuse any errors and enjoy looking into my life.

-The Fading Moon
Still a very, very, very, very, long time ago
From her home in the sky, the titaness of the moon could see her life flashing before her eyes. The people of Rome began to hail a new moon goddess.
At first, it filled her with such great sadness that she wept. When her tears splattered on the ground, they turned into ichor; the blood of immortals. In this state, she was Selene; her Greek form with its pale skin, long black hair with a fading moon tiara, eyes with silver colored irises, and white Greek attire.
Like the moon that waxes and wanes, her mood would change drastically.
She would be filled with a great rage that she would shriek as loud as Zeus' thunder. The higher the frequency, the deeper the holes she bore into the moon that orbited the earth. In this state, she was Luna; her Roman form with its pale skin with tiny black freckles dotted under her eyes which were pure moonlight, ridding themselves of the blackness of pupils. Her moon tiara flickered to the different moon phases on her head of shoulder length white hair and her Roman armour was pitch-black.
...Flashback...
The titaness of the moon in her form Selene, could feel the power see-sawing in her as the people of Rome began to hail a new moon goddess.
As Selene, she cried so hard that her blood made a thick puddle around her as she laid helplessly on the floor in her chamber on Olympus.
Artemis, goddess of hunting, wilderness and other aspects, heard the titaness crying. Eos, Selene's sister, also heard her cries while returning from the east.
The second generation titan and Olympian opened the doors of Selene's chamber and saw her in a state of complete misery; the floor sticky with her golden blood.
"Selene!" Artemis cried out to the titaness as she and Eos ran toward her.
At the sound of the immortal huntress's voice, Selene's tears stopped flowing and she wriggled on the floor unable to control herself from transforming into her Roman form.
Luna shrieked in a loud voice, cursing the Romans for their treason. The moon in outer space orbiting the earth responded to her rage and formed craters; as if she were punching holes into a wall.
Artemis and Eos were unable to reach Luna who began to blast rays of moonlight at them.
Then out of the blue Luna became Selene who then started to weep the blood out of her godly body. Just what the world needed; a bipolar titaness.
Eos assessed the situation and decided it best to send for her brother Helios.
"Helios will know what to do." Eos began to turn into her true form. "I must get a message to him."
"I will stay with your sister." Artemis agreed.
Again, Selene became Luna who began to cry out, punching holes in the moon and destroying her chamber with moonbeams.
"Thank you." Eos complete turned into her divine form and vanished
Although Artemis was reluctant, she summoned her bow. She had to force herself to remain in her Greek form as she highly doubted Diana would be more sensitive and forgiving to Luna's situation.
"Please forgive me for this Luna." The goddess of the hunt tried to speak to Selene over the titaness's loud cry as she readied an arrow. Artemis released the arrow which would've pierced Luna's shoulder, but the titaness's armour protected her.
Luna hissed like a cat and surrounded herself in darkness becoming invisible.
Due to the ceasing of the destruction and the sounds of sobbing, Artemis decided that the titaness was now Selene. However, she kept her bow at hand just in case.
After a while Helios returned with Eos.
The titan of the sun released a wave of sunlight around the room and brought Selene out of the darkness.
The titaness of the moon remained on the floor in her tears of blood trying not to revert back to Luna.
...End Flashback...
After hearing of her nephew Phaƫton's death, Selene felt even sicker. She was no longer the goddess of the moon. The title was given to Artemis.
"Brother Helios," Selene sat across from her older brother looking into his fading gold eyes. "We are no longer needed."
Helios nodded in agreement.
They both turned to their younger sister Eos who looked at them with understanding. She accepted her siblings' decision. She hugged the pair, surrounding them with her large warm wings.
Eos released them and vanished with her good-byes already said.

The children of Hyperion stood back to back and held their heads down as their bodies faded into crystal dust of gold and silver.

The Fading Author: I've decided to dedicate this chapter to Eos who was supportive of Helios and Selene's decision. I hope you all enjoyed.
Selene: Good call. So you all must be wondering if Helios and I faded away, then why the heck are we here doing disclaimers and closing out chapters?
Helios: We might be willing to tell you guys. Maybe. Just maybe. This has been a The Fading Author fanfic that she wrote in two days.
