Previously :
I fell to my knees from the lack of air then I passed out. The last thing I heard and saw was the throne room door opening and 14 figures stepping through. A distance voice screaming my voice. " PERCY!"
Then it went black.
I was floating in what seemed to be just blackness. Just plain blackness with no light to see with, with no hope to keep you going and no warm air just bitter cold air stealing the very breathe from you as if it was death itself.
Then I saw her. The very person I missed the most the very person I wish I could just see for five minutes. It was Zoë Nightshade. She was dressed in the sliver clothes of a huntress. She seem wary and tired but her blue eyes where full of love and compassion.
It was strange seeing that they were meant to be cold to men, but she never was. She was the only one in the hunt who treated men equal and not like low-life's.
She walked over to me her hand out stretched as if to touch me. She placed her hand on my shoulder.
"Percy we do not have much time. You are dying, Apollo cannot save you. So hear my words as you may never hear me again. You are the most bravest, loyal and compassionate man there has every been. For a hero should be brave and show what they can do and not have a big ego. You never did so never doubt this. Know that you should never be forgotten. Never. You are the most worthy person in the world. Do let not the people who died in battle be I vein." then she vanished.
I blinked open an eye. I couldn't move as I was pinned under rock. From the throne room roof. The room was still misty from the remaining smoke that still lingered in the room. I heard movement and people calling my name looking for me.
"H-hel-p!" I croaked. The taste of cooper filled my mouth. Blood. I was dying remembering what Zoë said to me. No one could save me. The rocks shifted above me. Then the weight lifted of completely. I groan as a dull throb started around my body.
I was turned over onto my back. All I could hear were many gasps. What I saw were the 12 Olympian gods and goddesses and Nico and Annabeth next to them. Annabeth and Nico knelt beside me. Both had glossy eyes from unshed tears. I knew they knew I was dying at least Nico anyway. I reached my hand up and grasped Annabeth's hand. Apollo ran over to me to check me but a grim expression was on his face. He sadly shook his head.
I gave them all a weak smile then I looked up to Annabeth. "Annabeth, n-no that I love y-you." she smiled at me.
" I do too seaweed brain. I always have and I always will. Gods I'm so stupid. I should've told you before. Now it's too late!" she said crying. I lifted my weak cold lifeless hand up to her face and gently wiped away her tears.
I took of my camp beads and necklace a handed it to her. I placed it in her hand and closed her fingers around it.
" Don't fret about my life not being here. I done my job and fulfilled my destiny. I saved the people I love.2 I looked into her eyes while I said that. "I defeated Kronos and I saved the world. Just promise me that you'll move on in your life. Full in love, get married have kids and do what you always wanted to do. Build things plan them out. Just promise me you won't forget me and that you'll wear my necklace for me. Wear it so it's close to your heart. that's wear I'll be in here." I pointed to her heart.
She leant down and kissed me. Her warm , soft, red cherry lips feeling like heaven on my cold, cracked clue lips. I smiled at her. I turned to Nico.
I took Riptide out of my pocket and handed it to him still in pen form. I closed his fingers around it.
" Be the greatest hero there has every been. Do great things help people , teach them. Do things people thought impossible for children of Hades to do." I said.
" Use Riptide here to help you. Let people see that a son of the sea god has faith in you. Let them know I always have and I always will. Let them see that Hades and Poseidon can work together and instead of fighting they can work together as a team. As a family to create peace. Build things up not to break things down." I smiled at him.
" And let them know that Nico Di Angelo will always be the little brother of Percy Jackson even if he doesn't want to." I smile." Be safe little brother."
I turned to the gods. I looked them in the eye. All of them were sad. You could see the sadness in there eyes. Most were crying even Athena. 'Wow' I thought ' Athena lady of wisdom and battle crying over her enemies' son.'
I looked into Poseidon eyes. " Be proud of me dad. Tell mum I love her and I am truly
Sorry. Tell her to get married write those book she always wanted to write. Tell her I'll be watching over her and that I see her when her time comes. Know that I am proud to be the son of the sea god. I always was and always will."
I looked at the others. " Recognise all you children. Claim them all by the age of 13. Don't let them die from monsters. Let them be taken to camp to be trained. Let them live. Let them make you proud."
"And recognise all the minor gods. As well as Hestia and Hades they have proved themselves to you. All of you."
I turn to Nico and Annabeth. Both had tears running down there cheek smearing the grim on their faces looking like tracks.
"Look Annabeth, Nico. The stars. I can see the stars. So bright. And Zoë. I can see Zoë. I'm sorry Zoë. So sorry." and with one last lung shattering breath that I drew I went limp. I didn't move again."
