Hey pips. How are y'all doing? So I am really grateful for all the reviews but I would really appreciate it if when I asked question you answered them. Secondly someone reviewed saying I was a bleeping writer because Luke is not a very nice person here. Well I d what I want thank you very much. If there are any other readers wishing to review just to insult don't bother it's a waste of time. BUT constructive criticism is appreciated. Ok? Great.

And thank you to all the others who reviewed, really encouraging.

Anyway on with this story:

Thalia's Pov

There behind Luke stood Gilan. Luke turned around.

"Oh what a surprise, he said sarcastically, Gilan the Snake Second In Command of the warriors of Perseus Jackson, it's a pleasure to see you... again."

"The Pleasure is shared. And now I will show you why I am called the Snake" he said drawing two knives that looked very much like fangs. Then something very strange happened: his two front canines they elongated into fangs with some purple liquid dropping. And his skin changed into purple scales covering his entire body like a mighty armor.

"I AM GILAN, SON OF APOPHIS AND EROS" he roared before jumping on Luke fangs in hand and mouth dripping with venom.

Wait Apophis? Who the hell was Apophis? Not that it really mattered right now. At first I thought Luke was a goner. But that was way before I saw his smile. His dark and evil smile that sent shivers running down my back. It was weird; I never got scared, never. But today I did and I admit it that scared me more than anything else.

But anyway he just lifted his sword, catching Gilan's fangs with his sword and flicking his arm making said person flying into a wall.

"It didn't work last time, why would it this time? I'll beat you over and over again until you realize the only one, except from the All Powerful Primordial's, the only one that rival's my power is Perseus Jackson. And he's not really here at the moment. But it doesn't matter; he'll be dealt with in time. Now come at me again. I killed your brothers, come, show me your rage", he said baiting the young man.

Gilan got up dusting himself, blood trickling down his mouth. His eyes were filled with revenge and spoke of hate and death, and I knew that he would charge to his death without a second thought. And that is exactly what he did. Luke smiled with his all his teeth, probably happy that he was gonna be able to skewer someone today. But that was when everything changed.

Somewhere nearby a roar could be heard, and at the same time the ground exploded and something powerful found it's propelled in the sky. I'd learn later that it didn't actually get propelled rather it jumped into the sky.

And the reason everything changed was the fact the thing in the sky was actually Perseus Jackson.

Luke's Pov

What? Was the first thing I asked myself before I realized what was in the sky and gritted my teeth. He always had to interfere. But if he wants to make me leave, then he'll have to reveal who he really is.

"COME AT ME JACKSON", I roared.

"OH I PLAN ON IT BITCH", he answered making everyone pale. I was counting on destroying camp, but that was already accomplished, Gilan had already destroyed half the camp and the monsters had been charged with the rest.

But the thing is, I thought he would have tried to hide himself at first. But no he was racing back down Shadow Stealth (His new sword since only one person decided to answer I guess his choice will be kept) in hand darkness enclosing it. At first I thought he was aiming me before I realised he wasn't. I frowned confused. What the hell was he doing? Ah of course, I thought as he hit the ground right in front of the still charging Gilan. Gilan was strong that was undeniable but he was no match for a Veelan, which he and Percy both were, along with a few others, even though they were the most powerful, for sure.

Anyway Percy landed and everything became darker immediately.

He twirled his swords and said:

"Stay out of this Gilan, that's an order leave NOW" he said before turning to me, "so you finally came out"

"I did, I did"

Then I raised my sword, which was flickering with Hellfire and we charged.

The power that erupted from us was something else. We both got ejected backwards and yet landed on our feet, twirled our swords, before we raised our hands, hellfire flew out of mine, darkness swirling out of his, both jets met in mid-air.

This was a battle of titans whoever, winced, showed a moment of weakness, immediately, lost and getting touched by either hellfire or darkness was definitively something to avoid. Even for Veelans.

"COME AT ME CHAMPION OF HECATE AND EREBUS, IS THAT ALL YOU GOT MOTHA' FUCKA" I roared.

"IT'S MORE THEN YOU FUCKING HAVE BITCH", he shouted back.

We both stopped at the same time before jumping and slashing at each other. The thing was, my sword touched his arm cutting through the flesh just as his did the same, but, he had two swords meaning while Riptide was cutting through my arm, Shadow Stealth was in my gut. I inwardly cursed I wasn't strong enough yet... I slashed down at him in anger his sword still in me cutting his torso open, but at the same time moving his sword nicely in my gut, so still skewered on his sword I teleported away.

PPov

I felt my torso before being cut open before the weight on Shadow Stealth receded until I knew he had teleported away. I felt my blood dripping down on the ground, meeting with the one he had left. I supported myself on my sword before falling back into the darkness I loved.

When I woke up, I was somewhere? Question is where the hell is somewhere? Before my sense flooded back in and I was able to feel something against my wound, voices talking, and the smell of the Wild. Ah Artemis was here. Good. And then I realised I couldn't open my eyes so instead I settled for listening.

"When will he wake up" Arty's voice spoke.

"I have no idea, Artemis, I have never seen such a wound, or rather the fire on the sword you described. I have yet to find an antidote." the doctor of Olympus answered. Wow I was getting healed by Apollo himself, not one of his subordinates, good. Not that it really mattered they couldn't heal me, and even if they had the knowledge there was no way they were powerful enough to heal me, a Veelan.

I opened my eyes, with some effort, before, looking down at the bandage and slowly swinging my legs over the bed, so I was in a sitting position and slowly ripped the bandage away, I gritted my teeth as the wound throbbed. They must have heard me because they rushed in.

Artemis screamed: "Percy what are you doing? Why would you rip your bandage off?"

Instead of answering I waved at her to keep quiet. I didn't wait for her reaction as I reached in my power reserves and took everything alien to my organism out of my body, the hellfire flying out and destroying itself without anything to keep it going.

I fell back on the bed passing out yet again.

When I woke up again it was the end of the night. I could feel it thanks to my powers as Erebus's Veelan, something I was going to have to explain very soon. I got up to get some fresh air. Before I knew it, my meditation came to an end.

I got up and headed to the Throne Room, and came in, at the same time a Council Meeting was happening. I racked my throat. No one heard. So instead I lifted my arm and shadows erupted from my hand and arm, making everybody turn around and face me.
