Personally i thought this chapter could have come out better but what the hell i am still drained from TWB

YARN :D

PERCY POV

Helios patted my back as I came, "Hey, Perce, can I talk to you for a moment?"

I paused but shrugged, "Yeah sure, I don't see wh-"

Selene cut me off, "Helios, What are you doing?" She said in a worried tone.

"Nothing jeez, Sel, calm down." He replies, grabbing my shoulder and pulling me aside as Selene eyes us suspiciously.

"So Percy, my bro, when are you going to ask her out or whatever it is?"

I open my mouth to answer when what he says hits me; I turn redder than Apollo's cows, "THE HELL? Okay Helios, seriously? Why do want me to date your sis so badly, it's almost scary!" I almost whisper-screeched.

He laughed loudly, "Chill out dude! I am just curious, I mean you have liked her for quite some time, right? So why not?"

I crossed my arms and tried to word my response in a clear manner, "I like her, a lot more than I should, and she is highly attractive. But, I'd feel like I would be cheating on Artemis if I did try anything with her."

"Sorry to break it to you buddy, but you're dead, and Sel really likes you, honestly you should just make the best of what you have." He said seriously, "Besides you wait too long and she may lose hope."

"This is starting to make my head hurt." I grumbled.

"Women always do seem to have that effect." He chuckled, "At least in a few try it out okay? I hate seeing her unhappy, and frankly you're the reason she is really restless, you dog you."

"Hey!" I retorted, blushing, "It's not like I asked for this..."

Right then a wave of pain hit me, and I doubled over grasping my skull, "GAH!"

Helios grabbed me, "Whoa is it really that much of a headache?"

Then my form itself, started to flicker like I was disappearing into mist. I strained against the pain and it began to recede and everything snapped back into place.

I panted a bit, and felt my head gingerly, the pain had gone quite as soon as it had come, "I'm not joking right now... What was that?"

Helios closed his eyes and pressed his hands against my temples, like he was reading my mind.

He frowned and said, "Dunno what happened, but it didn't have any lasting effect I could pick up, you're perfectly fine."

"Great pain flashes..." I muttered sarcastically.

NYX POV

"What do you mean you need me and Erebus to tear him from the sky? He died and became a constellation there is no returning from that!" I said indignantly.

"Once dead, he technically shouldn't be able to be reached, but even still his destiny has not yet been fulfilled. He has more acts left to do, and due to that, he will be brought back one way or another. The only question is are you willing, along with Erebus and pull him from the realm." They spoke emotionlessly and in unison, "If you do tear him out of the sky, it will be beneficial as he will be able to stop the war from happening with Aether and Hemera."

"I would rather not have to deal with that impudent brat once again..." muttered Erebus darkly.

"While we do understand your distaste at the idea, Erebus, you must realize your arrogance is what caused your fall in the first place, if you hadn't thought you were powerful enough to try to bring down Chaos, you would never have fallen, you needed a lesson in humility before you would be truly worthy of being a primordial again."

Erebus heaved a sigh and murmured, "Very well."

He closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, his brows suddenly, furrowed and I could tell he was straining mentally. His eyes darted around as of looking at something that was running across the area in front of us. He opened his eyes and looked at his hands confused.

"I can't seem to pull him away from the sky..." he said incredulously, "I don't know why, he simply cannot fall..."

"Your powers are still weak in this form. You might want to try a bit later with your wife, but for now you should simply rest." The fates murmured.

He nodded and his hand twined with mine, I smiled.

PERCY POV

I was dozing in an armchair I found in the courtroom of the black palace when Orion began to strap on his armor and he looked at me. I noticed this and sat up.

"What?" I mumbled.

"I am curious about your blade, Riptide." He said.

"What about it?" I sighed.

"May I see if I can use it?"

I shrugged, "Sure."

I threw him the pen and he caught it, he clicked it, but it didn't turn into a sword, it just shot out a bit of the ink tip. I smothered a snicker. He frowned and tried again and again, only to achieve the same result every time.

He threw the pen away, disgusted, "Obviously broken." He sneered.

The pen reappeared in my hand, "Nope," I replied, clicking it into its sword form, "it just doesn't like you."

He huffed disapprovingly, "Whatever, the monsters have reformed so-"

"I call the hydra." I called casually.

He snorted and said, "Fine but-"

"You can have the bear and scorpion, you know if the original Castor and Pollux don't get it first."

He frowned but shrugged, jogging off towards the monsters in the distance. I got up and stretched, I clicked riptide and tapped my vambrace conjuring my blessed armor. I strode out of the castle and summoned an Olympic blade in my left hand. I watched the many battles carefully and when I saw the hydra I dashed forward. I flipped over the hydra's back and shot a blast of frost straight in one of its faces. All of its head hissed and focused on me, I laughed and landed on its back, it writhed and snapped trying to throw me off, I leaped off it's back into the air and used fired more frost making the hydra scream in protest. One of the heads snapped on top of me and I used my blades to keep its teeth from cutting me in half.

"Ugh," I muttered staring at its drooling, disgusting mouth and recoiling, "please tell me you have a dentist or something."

It only tried to bite harder so I dissolved into mist and reappeared above its head slicing it clean off.

I froze the stump and said, "Come on, can't you do any better than that?"

The heads screamed and spat acid, just like I wanted. I controlled the acid using my will and doused a fair amount on each head. All the heads began screaming and the hydra writhed I pain before it dissolved. Orion was firing arrows at the scorpion which was scuttling close, much to his horror. I watched before jumping into a tree, landing on a wide branch.

I chuckled and said, "You might want to switch to close-combat, you know, if you don't want to drag this out."

I felt someone land on the branch next to me, it was Selene. She was holding a square of ambrosia and chewing on another piece, she offered me some but I shook my head.

"I'm fine, not a scratch on me." I chuckled.

She leaned against me and chuckled as Orion finally stabbed the scorpion with an ice trident after running away from it, "He really hates those things, doesn't he?"

I laughed, "Yeah, that's why I watch whenever he fights it. He screams like a little girl in a horror movie."

Orion heard that last statement and glowered at me, "You would be too, if one nearly killed you."

"Quite nearly did, was about to die, got help and survived, in all fairness though, the man who called the pit scorpion was a traitor, so I didn't suspect him much at the time..." I mused, " He was a hero in the end though."

Orion looked flabbergasted, he had seen me fight the pit scorpion smiling and laughing like it was funny. Selene moved just a bit closer to me.

I yawned, leaning against the tree trunk, "I think I might catch a quick nap, you two should head back."

Orion snorted and walked away, Selene murmured, "I am rather comfortable, you make a wonderful pillow."

I turned a bit red and replied, "It gets cold."

"You're warm."

I sighed in defeat. I sat there dozing peacefully, I was almost asleep when I felt something warm wash against my cheek. I opened my eyes and pulled away sleepily.

Selene had snuggled up until her breath was blowing across my face. And she was really close, I squirmed. I rubbed my eyes and began to try to wiggle away and then she hugged me, tightly.

I turned red sighed, "So much for escape."

I waited for a minute, "Hey Selene?...hey?...

A few weak cries and pleads to the sleeping passed.

Right then Helios decided to appear, he saw me and grinned, "Oh hello Percy, you seem to be doing well, is it all good?"

"Can you help me out? Your sister won't let me go."

"Do I have to? My sis looks rather comfortable."

"Exactly, I can't move, and I am not a teddy bear...usually."

He said, "Activate your armor."

I did, watching as it jostled Selene awake, she grumbled and let her fist fly; it connected with my helmet. I winced as I saw how close it had been to hitting me.

She propped herself up on her elbows, and looked blearily around, "Eh?"

"Uh hey, but I was getting ready to move and you weren't so I was trying to, um... get you awake, and, uh...well, you didn't want to." I said haltingly, letting my helmet slide back into my armor.

She looked at me, then Helios, then me, then at the branch, and finally at me again. Then she turned a fiery red and shot off the branch like it was burning her.

"Oh sorry, um, well, yeah, no, I'll get moving and um-"

"Mind if I walk you back?" I said, smiling as I slid off the branch.

She paused, "You don't have to..."

"I know. But I do want to give you some company." I replied shrugging.

"Um...alright."

I laughed, this was much easier now that she wasn't so close, "Relax, you just like to hug things when you are asleep, that's normal." I chuckled.

We walked and Helios said, "Imma go on ahead if that's okay with you."

He disappeared in a blaze of heat, and left me and Selene alone.

"So, cuddling? You didn't really seem that type." I chuckled.

She tuned red and huffed, "Shut up."

"No, no, it's not bad, I thinks it's pretty cute, plus who wouldn't like snuggling up to a beautiful woman?" I said patting her shoulder.

She turned an even fiercer red. I laughed. We walked in silence until I noticed she was staring hard at the ground, like she was thinking.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I asked tapping her shoulder.

She stopped and asked," How close was I, you know, to you."

I raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

She stepped right next to me her breath right on my face, "Was I this close?"

I blinked and turned red, "Um yeah. That's about right." I said looking away.

She rested her head on my shoulder, "You really are shy."

I huffed and grumbled," No! I am not shy!

She grinned, "Prove it!"

"Fine!" I replied hotly, not really thinking, I grabbed shoulders and kissed her.

Her eyes widened in shock, but she wrapped her arms around me and I responded in kind. When we pulled back, she looked at me and I grinned wolfishly.

"So still think I am shy?" I asked roguishly.
