P.O.V Frank
I didn't hesitate a second, I slashed every giant that crossed my path without mercy. The fire and instinct of war, that I got from my father, took control of me completely for the first time in my life. Kill, kill and kill was everything for me. Especially after I saw my brother's fall.
Leo... he sacrificed himself for us, for the world. "And I just stood there frozen without doing a damn thing!", ashamed of myself I gave everything I had into this final fight. Now that Gia, that daughter of Athena and Hera were gone fighting the rest of the giants wasn't that hard. But after months of a tiring journey and the sadness that brought my brother's sacrificed, I was exhausted and wanted everything to end.
-Frank!- someone shouted but I just continued hitting the giants immobile body- Frank stop!- I continued not listening to that voice... which was very familiar. It almost sounded like Leo's... but he was gone, he couldn't be here- Frank it's over!- a pair of slender arms pushed me off the giant's body, and made me fall on my ass- Frank calm down brother! What's gotten into you?!
-Leo?!- I jumped on my feet, as soon as I identified who was standing in front of me, and hugged the life out of my little brother- I thought I lost you!
-Frank we are Gods, we can't die- my brother deadpanned- I was just out of it for the rest of the war.
-But I... I saw your body burn until ashes was everything left- I accused him confused of what was going on.
-Yes, I did. But that's because I am just like our dad- he explained with a sheepish smile- I have the phoenix ability, that means that when I 'die' I will burn and 'reborn' from the ashes. In the metaphorical way of speaking. After all nothing really dies, it just goes back to its original form.
-So you can get pregnant too?- I asked curiously after a few minutes of processing this new information... and trying to snap out of my shock.
-Yes, I can- he blushed deeply- Promise me you won't tell anyone!
-Anything for you baby brother- I hugged him again, relived that he wasn't dead. He was alive and safe in my arms, just like it should be. Both, him and Piper, I will protect them with all I have for the rest of eternity.
What I didn't know back then was that an eternity of looking after your younger siblings would end up being very lonely. After the war ended Hera and Anabeth were killed and left into the hands of Lord Hades to punish them. Those two sluts were turned into the whores of anyone or anything in the Underworld that wanted to fuck a hole, the worst part was that they would beg for it and then when they are conscious of their actions they would loath themselves.
After celebrating the end of the Second Giant War and the proclamation of the crew of the Argo II as heroes, there was a whole week full of weddings that grand-mother loved. Which meant a happy King of Gods, after all if his husband was happy grand-father was too. First we had Uncle Hermes's and Calypso's, then Aunt Artemis's and Orion's, after that we had my brother's with Reyna and the last one was Uncle Apollo's with Rachel's, his oracle. She ended up being the Goddess of Painting and Prophets.
Things didn't end up there, though. Aunt Artemis's decided to let men be part of her hunt, as long as they are accepted by her husband and swear to celibate. However, there was a trick to that rule. You had to stay virgin for all eternity until you are killed, but if you fall in love with a fellow hunter you could marry him or she and have sex with them after they are under my grand-mother's protection. But you will lose the ability to have children and if you husband or wife dies you can't re-marry or have sex with another person. If you stop being a virgin breaking any of this rules, you were banished from the hunt.
Returning to my principal thought, everyone I was close to was happily married. I on the other hand, was left on my own pinning after a Goddess that was out of my reach. Thirteen years had passed after the Second Giant War, thirteen years of seeing her grow up from a baby to a young independent woman, thirteen years of wincing every time that I saw her suitors get electrocuted by grand-father's thunder after being mauled by her overprotective siblings, thirteen years of watching how her father pushed her to become an eternal maiden, thirteen years of slowly falling in love with the Goddess of Jewels and Rebirth... Hazel, daughter of Zeus and Nicolo. Thirteen years and now that she was planning on giving her virginities vows I decided to make my move on her.
I marched firmly towards her chambers and knocked- Come in, the door is open- her angelical voice called from inside. Slowly but determined I opened the door and almost fell on my feet when I got a good look of her. She was wearing a white long dress, which she never does, and had her hair braided decorated with jewels made by her. She looked breathtaking to say the least, and that doesn't even start to cover it- Frank what are you doing here?- she asked me surprised with a delicate blush, which gave me hope of having a chance with her.
-I came here to stop you from becoming an eternal maiden- I told her, ignoring how her eyes almost popped out of her skull- I... I love you Hazel. I've been in love with you for a long time now, and I wouldn't be able to bear watching you...
I was stopped by a pair of soft lips on mine, it took me a few seconds to register what was happening but when I noticed that Hazel was the one kissing me, I kissed her back with all I had- What took you so much?- she asked me once we broke apart for breathing- Well it doesn't matter now, what is important is that we are together now.
"Yeah... that is all it matter now. And that I... we have an happing ending too".
