A/N- Hey! I am back. This is like, one thas been stuck in my head. Thank you to Taste the Rainbow- Or else and cindella204. Oh and Cindella204, Nico and Hades is next(:

Thalia was dying, she knew it. Her heart rate was plummeting and she was becoming very very tired. She was so sorry as well. Lady Artemis had entrusted in her to keep the Hunters safe and she had failed. Miserably.

The knife wound was bleeding more prfousely now and Thalia's vision had become blurry. The battle was still raging all around her. She could faintly hear the battle cries of her fellow warriors and the cries of pain of those who were struck down. Thalia was sure they would'nt win, Kronos's army was too strong. Their shear numbers overwhelmed them.

Thalia painfully and slowly turned her head to the side, trying to find something to focus on. She hoped that if she had something like that, that it would slow her departure for Hades. What locked her gaze next was enough to bring shimmering tears to the brim of her eyes. Thalia's second in command, little Zaphrina Haggins. She was only 12, but she was one of the best fighters they had. And there she was, laying lifeless on the mud. A victim of the unforgiving world.

Tears were now pouring down Thalia's face, like streams of lava going down a volcano. She couldn't seem to tear her gaze away from Zaphrina's vacant stare. The usual cheer and spark the eyes held was gone. Now they were sad and sullen, but Thalia saw more in them. She saw every mistake she had ever made, reflecting in them. The memories were lashing out at her and all she wanted to do was sleep. But all she did was cry. Somewhere deep down she realized she shouldn't be feeling sorry for herself. But she should be for everyone else.

She noticed suddenly, there was another prescence there. Strong arms had grabbed her and were now cradling and carresing her. The person had a big build and their arms were so warm. It was nice, she thought, even though she coulnd't really feel it she could see it. And it's the thought that counts. The sleep was overwhelming Thalia. 'Maybe just for a second...' Thalia drifted to sleep as her soul left her body.

Zeus sat there, cradling his daughters dead body against gim. He was sobbing and calling her name over and over. This couldn't be happening, she had joined the hunters to live a longer life. His little girl couldn't be dead. She couldnt be! Zeus couldn't decide whether to be mad or sad. So he just sat there, mourning his daughter.

Artemis stood back in the shadows, while Apollo attended to the wounded. Zeus was all alone, sitting there, rueing the world. The war had ended long ago, but Zeus still sat, refusing to move from his dead daughters side.

Zeus spoke to Thalia, moving hair out of her now very pale face. "I'll never leave you Lighting Girl" He said agonizingly.
