Chapter 4: A Decision
Percy Pov:
I shot back down to Hades so fast it would have made Hermes look slow. "HADES!" I shouted through the halls. I saw him walk around the corner with a smug look on his face. I was furious. "HOW COULD YOU! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" I continued to shout. "Hush Child. Let me speak." He said and I lost the will to speak. Hades spoke "She took her own life, she knew the risks, she knew where you would be, all she wanted to do is be with you. But there is another problem you face before you can all unite. You see she is destined for the Isles of the Blest whereas you have lived only 2 past lives. The only way you two will ever be together again is if you were reborn and achieved Elysium for the third and final time. You may speak" I couldn't believe it. I fell down and shaken. My past life flashed in front of me. Not only did I see the accomplishments of Percy Jackson Son of Poseidon, but also the accomplishments of General George C. Marshall Son of Poseidon. "What must I do" I answered from the floor. "You must be reborn and achieve Elysium for the third and final time." He said. "Do it. I must be with her." I said. But for once Hades didn't, he knew once I was reborn, I would forget Annabeth and find a new lover. "You do know, that once you are reborn you will forget Annabeth and will likely fall in love with another person?" Hades asked questions. "I don't care, I must get back to Annabeth." I said standing up and looking into his black, cold eyes. "Alright, let it be done." Hades said. I thought I saw a glimpse of sadness hit him, but I must have imagined it. As I walked to the River Lethe, I breathed quickly and jumped in. I used all my water powers to keep my memories and the next thing I know is a bright light then….nothing.
