AN: Thank you for all your supportive reviews! Just an answer to some reviews... Every story on fan fiction is made up. Characters are made up; plots are made up, so why can't I make up that Achilles is Percy's middle name? Also, there are hundereds, if not millions of websites on google on the myth of Orion and Artemis. I chose on of them. You may have chosen another. Every site is different. I am sorry if you thought if it was wrong, buut I wrote what I read on google. And also, I got a pretty long review from 0Anonymo0. Firstly, I have no idea what the heck a Legend of Zelda is. So I am sorry if my title of the story gave you some wrong thoughts. Continue reading it, if you don't like, then stop. It is your choice. And I have read my story through, and I see what you mean. But Annabeth had just fought a long, hard battle with the Titan Lord. She couldn't take an attack from the terror inducing shield Aegis. Also, any Percy x Artemis story is a little OOC. For a maiden goddess to fall in love after millenia of keeping her oath is frankly crazy. But that's what makes the stories interesting. If you don't like my style, please do not read. If you do, I hope you enjoy this next chapter!
Annabeth's point of view (shocked ya!)
I studied that last battle strategy, analysing the plans and weighing up the pros and cons. I was almost done, when I was interrupted by a brisk knock on the door. I sighed, a little impatient.
"Yes? It better be something interesting!" I turned around, and met the glowing black orbs of Nyx's eyes.
"Well, it is interesting!" I bowed, hoping that Nyx didn't take offence.
"That is okay, daughter of Athena. Rise, and listen closely to the things I am about to tell you." Nyx's voice seemed a little strained of her usual authority. I sat down, Nyx sitting next to me.
"Geras has sent news about something that is disturbing. It looks like Chaos had managed to convince other Primordial's, Titans and Giants into fighting for the Olympian's cause." I nodded slowly.
"Okay. That's not that bad," Nyx gave me a pitying look.
"Daughter of Athena, I would not be talking to a demigod of my great grand daughter or asking for her help, for I wish, the Earth would be mine already. Listen, or face the consequences." I tried to hide the lump in my throat. Nyx saw, and gave a satisfied smirk.
"Now. Yes, Geras has informed me that Aether, Hemera, Gaea and Thesis has joined the side of the Olympians. More are on the verge of joining. Damon, the peaceful yet strong giant has joined the side. Prometheus and Oceanus the Titan's have also pledged their side to the Olympians." I nodded, digesting this information.
"This will make it a hard, long fight. Gaea will be hard to defeat, for it is on her domain that we will be fighting on. Aether and Hemera joined make a terrifying source of power. Prometheus is simply too cunning for words. It is a known fact that the army will run on his strategies. Thesis, being the Goddess of creation, will cause some mayhem in the battle. And though Damon may be peaceful, many have perished in underestimating him. Though he hates to kill, he still will fight for good. And Oceanus is really the main problem," I reeled off, ticking off the points on my fingers. Nyx nodded.
"Oceanus, along with Tethys and the three thousand water nymphs he has created, will be a formidable opponent. Especially if your ex-boyfriend has improved his hot shot powers since the Battle of Manhattan." The corners of mymouth turned down, as Nyx walked out of the room, her use for me evidently over. I got up, and looked out of the window. It was a miserable sight. Empousai, Dracanae and Telkhines stood in the fields, ready to be transported to Earth. I sighed, sat on the bed, and fell into deep thought. I was here because of my actions five years ago...
I watched him, my dear, gentle Luke being killed at the hands of Percy. Anguish tore into my heart, and I found hatred in my heart for the person who had killed my beloved. I vowed taht day to be the destroyer of Percy Jackson. And I was starting to regret it...
I snapped out of it, my head throbbing gently. It was the first time I was doubtng my choice to join the Evil. Was being so Evil really necessary? I thought back to the day I was with Percy, the day he asked me to be his girlfriend. Though I loved Luke, a part of me wanted to stay with this adorable, stupid, dumbass son of Poseidon, who above all, was brave, courageous and loyal. And I had broken that when I had killed his parents. Being with Percy for half my life had created an empathy link. The pain I felt was incredible, more hurtful than anything I had imagined, more than my sadness at Luke's death. My mind reeled at the soulful eyes of the son of Poseidon, who, I have to admit, had stolen my heart. But he hates me, I thought sadly. Why shouldn't he? I killed his parents, betrayed Olympus. I wouldn't forgive myself. I sighed, wanting nothing but for the ache in my heart to end.
Percy's point of view
Luke looked at me sadly, his blue eyes shining with sadness and regret.
"Hey, Percy!" My fists clenched. Luke stepped back, noticing the black wisps on Riptide and the tiny black and gold tornado around me.
"Before you kill me or something, please let me explain myself and let me tell you things!" Luke said hurriedly. My anger rose.
"You kill hundreds of innocent demigods! I did nothing! You were the cause of death, destruction and sadness all over the world! I did nothing! You coerce Annabeth to your side making her betray Olympus! I did nothing! And now, you expect me to listen to you?" My eyes blazed, and I raised Riptide.
"Percy, no!" I stopped at Thalia's cry. Thalia came up to me, her eyes sad.
"Percy, give him a chance. Luke did all of that because of his sadness and anger. And he is in Tartarus, which means the Prophecy is starting to come true. Some friends and enemies was spoken about, and Luke is, was, after all, our enemy." A stab of pain shot through Luke;s eyes, a pain of someone going through hell, literally, one that I had felt when Annabeth betrayed me and killed my parents.
"Two minutes. Impress me," I said. Luke gave me a grateful look, and started his tale.
"After I took my life in Olympus, I roamed the Fields of Punishment for three years. Then, I was visited by Annabeth, who asked me to join her into attacking Olympus and fighting with her with Nyx and Tartarus. And believe me, I said no at the first chance she gave me. The Fields of Punishment gave me three years to think of my actions. I was regretful and more than anything, wanting to turn back the clock. I want to make amends, Percy. So I said no. Annabeth got mad, dragged me to Tartarus and left me for my soul to be dissolved on the banks of the River Phlegethon. But I survived. These two years have given my hardships, wounds and pain. But they have also given me strength and faith. I now know that I want to fight for good." I stayed quiet after his speech.
"Why didn't you go with Annabeth? I thought she loved you?" Artemis asked. Luke looked up, a tear balancing on his porcelain cheek.
"I loved Annabeth. I really did. She was my friend, my sister, my love, my heroine. But the Annabeth now is mad, power-thirsty. She craves for the Gods to pay for my death. And I do not want to be part of the world that she intends to rule when she supposedly will win." Luke shook his head sadly. "If only she knew that Nyx will destroy her once the war is won." Luke turned away to compose himself. While he was, Zoe came up to me.
"He's telling the truth. My time in Lord Ouranos's court made him give me many rewards, and one of them was to tell if someone was telling a lie. And I definetly know that Luke is not." I nodded, reluctantly. Though my pain and anger was unmatchable, I knew that my duty lay to Olympus.
"Alright Luke," I said gruffly. "You're coming with us."
AN: And cut! How was it? Review and tell me! Review for faster updates! Bye!
