Warriors Of The Eternal One: Resistance
Chapter Ten: The Parthenon Of Perseus 2/2
Percy lunged forward and plunged his sword into the chest of Athena. She staggered backwards and smashed into her crumbling statue, golden ichor spilling all over it.
'The start of a new dawn.' Percy gloated 'The start of MY reign!' he said as he slied at Athena again, hoping to go for the kill. Annabeth screamed and dived forward, slamming into Percy and they both crashed into the statue of Athena. With a groabn, the statue started trembling and it collapsed, covering Percy, Annabeth and Athena in the rubble. Thalia and the others ran forward and tried to prise Annabeth and Athena from the wreckage.
Suddenly as they approached it, their was an unearthly shriek and a golden glow. Percy burst out of the rubble, causing it to rain down again on the feeble forms of Annabeth and Athena and allowing him to fix his hateful gaze upon the remaining demigods. He screamed and released a wave of water and fire at them, which smashed into the wall and started to rock the entire building. Percy looked at the roof, reproachefully, then ran towards his awaiting helicopter outside, towards the government offices and a final victory in Greece, before his forces moved in. Leaving the demigods behind to perish in the collapsing building.
'Percy...' Annabeth thought weakly as she struggled to breathe, suffocated by the dust and crushed by the rubble as Athena lay next to her, unmoving and starting to disappear from view. Athena was starting to fade, with her final holy building falling to pieces, so was she, and it looked like the demigods would be finally defeated in the Parthenon. And the reign of Perseus Jackson would begin.
