Note 8
Chapter 8
Wow. I'm soooooo sorry for the wait. Thanks so much guys! Still looking for recommendations on good Percabeth stories. This chapter will be a little different, kay? The next one will be too. Thank you!
Athena (yes, the goddess)
I watched a screen in horror as seven demigods battled the earth goddess and her army. These demigods were extremely powerful, the most powerful in the world, the strongest and bravest in the world.
The daughter of Pluto rode on a horse and struck the goddess with her sword. The son of Hephaestus pelted the goddess with fire. The son of Mars was a dragon, helping the other one by blowing fire at Gaea.
The daughter of Aphrodite was stabbing and charming some Cyclopes. The Romans and Greek demigods were fighting as one. Three Romans and four Greeks. The gods had reset themselves, they were back in place. I was Athena, not Minerva.
Sea spawn's son was fighting next to my daughter, both of them killing monsters quickly. They seemed to know exactly what the other was thinking. She had been torn apart when Hera had taken him away.
The battle raged on and the gods and I watched, not allowed to participate. If we did, it would be the end of Olympus, the end of the gods. We would send messages to our children until they defeated Gaea, once and for all. The seven collapsed and sat on the ground.
The son of Hephaestus announced he was going to take a nap. The son of Jupiter had his head resting in the daughter of Aphrodite's lap. The daughter of Pluto was feeding gold to her horse as the son of Mars stroked his fur. My daughter was sitting in the lap of the son of Poseidon as he played with her hair.
I couldn't believe after all I had tried, they were still together. But, being the goddess of wisdom, I knew they loved each other to death. Aphrodite was squealing at her "OTP", whatever that was. So I, being the responsible one, zapped them to Olympus.
The group appeared just as they had been sitting five seconds ago in Greece.
"Welcome demigods," Zeus announced. He gave a big long speech about how they saved the world and how they may have any gift they want, etc.
"Also, all of you may be granted god hood and immortality, if you wish. You will stay half-bloods for as long as you need to. For example, if you want children, they will be demigods. You must turn immortal after having children because otherwise your children will be gods or goddesses, which would not be that good," he continued. The demigods looked shocked.
"Leo Valdez, you may be granted any wish you like. You have done well, my boy," Hephaestus said.
"Thank you. My wish is for you to free Calypso, lift her curse," Leo responded solemnly.
"Your wish had been granted," Zeus said.
Then, Calypso was zapped into the room. She looked confused. Then she saw Leo. She screamed and ran to his side before he gave her a silent finger.
"Okay, Piper McLean, what is your wish?" Aphrodite asked.
"I want to have as peaceful a life as possible, if I may," Piper told her mother. She was a smart one, I must say. Smarter than that Perseus boy. He doesn't deserve my daughter at all. But, he is a very good fighter. I guess he is wise, in a way.
"We will try, my daughter." At this, Piper smiled and mouthed a thank you.
"Jason Grace," Zeus, or I guess Jupiter, said loudly.
"My wish is the same as Piper's," he responded. Jupiter nodded.
"Frank Zhang, what is your wish?" Mars asked his son.
"I wish for my life to not rely on a burning stick."
"Hand me the stick please." Frank pulled the stick out of a white pouch and gave it to Mars hesitantly. Mars took it and muttered a few words. The stick caught flames and disappeared.
"It has been done. Good work," Mars told him. Frank grinned and sat down.
"Hazel Levesque, your wish?" Pluto questioned.
"My curse lifted," she replied swiftly. Pluto snapped his fingers and nodded his head. Hazel smiled and sat down next to Frank. I decided that it was my turn.
"Annabeth Chase. You beat the Titans, you survived Tartarus and beat the army of Gaea. What is your wish, it may be anything," I announced proudly.
"I wish to have as peaceful a life as possible," she said briskly in return. I smiled at her quickly and nodded my head.
"Percy Jackson. You too beat the Titans, survived Tartarus and beat Gaea. You may have any wish you want," Poseidon declared.
"Same as Annabeth, but I want to add something. I want to have as peaceful a life as possible, with Annabeth," he replied. I saw the love in his eyes when he said her name. It made me scowl, but I realized that I would have to forget about it eventually. I mean, the Fates had brought them together and weren't breaking them apart.
"Thank you demigods. Do you all accept your immortality and god hood?" Zeus asked. They looked at each other and slowly accepted.
"Okay then. Leo, you will be the god of dragons and machines, kind of like your father. Frank, you will be the god of animals and strength. Hazel, you will be the goddess of trickery and jewels. Jason, the god of flight and leadership. Piper, the goddess of inner beauty and independence. Annabeth, you will be the goddess of architecture, knowledge and bravery. Perseus, you will be the god of hurricanes, tides and loyalty." They all muttered to each other and smiled at us.
Calypso stood on the side, looking uncomfortable. Leo walked over, took her hand, and they walked out, talking quietly. The other demigods stood up, staring at the closing door. They bowed and Frank, Hazel, Jason and Piper left. Percy and Annabeth stayed.
"Can I give him a tour?" Annabeth asked us.
"Of course!" I replied. He took let hand and she led him through the doorway.
I later found them making out in the corridor. And I realized that maybe, just maybe, he would be a good match for my daughter.
Done! It SUCKED, I know. Not much Percabeth. I'll post the next one soon, it's already partly written. Thanks guys!
