Epilogue:
Keir:
In the end, we never did find the stone, and that was perfectly fine by me- mostly because I didn't want to leave. Berk was my home now and I knew Dimitri felt the same. It was... fitting.
By now, it was a whole year since our revelation that we were demigods and we were fully settled into Berk. We never found out the deal with the stone, but I was pretty sure that it wasn't just a prank from Hera. Something inside me told me it was destiny, fate, for me and Dimitri to find that stone and end up here.
I think the happiest thing, however, was the fact that Tuffnut accepted me (just as Snotlout accepted Dimitri). We were still together and just growing- mentally and in our relationship. Besides, today was our first year anniversary. Fidi was still protective of me, however, so as Tuffnut and I made our way to my hut (Dimitri and I got separate huts after Dimitri complained too much about the way I woke her up), Fidi stayed outside, occasionally glancing inside the hut. She made it pretty clear that if Tuffnut hurt me, she would fry him.
"So," Tuffnut said, "You never did answer my question."
"Which one?"
"How did you end up at that camp for demigods?"
I sat down on my bed and he sat down beside me. We both kicked off our shoes as I laid my head on his shoulder.
"Well, my mortal father was Norse, which is why I have a Norse name and why I'm fluent in Norse and Greek, and I stayed with him for a good portion of my life. The thing was- I wasn't like most demigods. My father was a firm believer that I should know everything about everything. So I knew I was demigod since I was very little. I just never believed it- but I did do a lot of research on it and on Wiccan magic since that was the closest I could get to real magic at the time.
He was on his way of dropping me off at the camp when I was about nine when a harpy attacked... One thing led to another, and I ended up at the camp fatherless and scarred."
"Woah," Tuffnut whistled.
A few tears bristled in my eyes.
"It's fine..."
"If you don't mind me asking, what about your mother? What's she like?"
"Mom," I smiled, "She's... different that's for sure. She usually has our best interest at heart and she wants us all to study all the time to prefect our spells."
With that, I continued to babble on and on about the camp, my mother, my father, and my half-siblings. I told him about how my sister Lou was a bit of a prankster as well. I told him about how my little sister Jamie loved to play Princess when she first came to camp. I spoke about how I set fire to one of the cabins when I was first learning spells. I told him about the pranks I pulled with Lou- some which included hiding firecrackers in the bathroom. I told him how I beat Annabeth in a game of wits. I told him just- everything... Including the one quest I never told anyone.
"... After that, I learned to never disobey Demi again. It left a pretty nasty scar."
He looked at me, and bumped my shoulder teasingly,
"I thought you said you didn't have any scars."
I stuck out my tongue,
"I didn't want Dimitri to know- she worries enough about me as it is."
"So," Tuffnut said with a smirk, "Can I see it?"
"What?"
"Can I see your scar?"
He looked like a little kid on Christmas- he really loved his scars I guessed. I shrugged and then began to pull up my shirt. He let out a sharp intake of breath as I pulled the shirt over my head, leaving me practically half naked in front of him.
I wasn't sure how long he was staring at me, but I knew that it was the longest I paid attention to one person for a period of time.
Finally, his hand reached out and tenderly traced my scar, starting at the bottom of it and then slowly traced it up my stomach. I tensed slightly and he stopped just below my breast, only a few centimeters away from the end of the scar that grazed my breast.
He looked at me with something. I bit my lip and he slowly finished tracing the scar.
His hand didn't stop, instead his hand continued to move up, which caused a whole new feeling to shot through me as his hands touched places. Something about the touches were different than the small gropes during make-out sessions that we had before.
The touch was passionate, loving, slow...
It soon led to more- so much more in fact that I'm pretty sure that Fidi had to stop looking through the window and cover her dragon ears.
Dimitri:
"...And then there was Piper-the only Aphrodite chick that I actually liked."
"Aphrodite is who again?" Snotlout asked.
Currently we were in my hut, which I was very thankful for, considering the ways that Keir woke me up.
"Aphrodite is the goddess of love. Most of her kids are snotty and insecure, but Piper was actually pretty badass."
He nodded and kissed my forehead. I giggled slightly and he got an evil grin on his face. I think I visibly paled before he started tickling me. I couldn't stop laughing.
"...Stop...I...Ribs..." I tried to say.
He stopped tickling me for a brief moment.
"What?"
"Stop, I can't breathe, my ribs hurt from laughing to hard," I confirmed. He smiled.
"In that case..."
I jumped off of my bed before he could start tickling me again.
"No, I swear to gods I will cut your hands off."
He paled.
"Understood. Anyway, what's your dad like?"
I thought for a moment before answering.
"He's like you and I times a thousand, and he's a whore. One time when I was visiting Olympus he told me he ended a gang bang. I'm mentally scared for life because of that."
"You've been to Olympus?"
I nodded.
"Yeah, it's really big, as you would expect."
That's when I dove into a deep one sided conversation about the gods and the titan wars, and the battle against the giants. I told him all of the stories about people like Midad and Dedaluas and Icarus, and other stories about things like different quests I went on and the day I beat one of the Apollo kids at basketball, and the chariot races at camp, and Blackjack, Percy's Pegasus, and so many others. It was hours before he started talking again.
"...And so he and Annabeth went to go get Chiron's old guy music to scare the birds off."
"You really miss them, don't you?"
I looked up, startled by his question, and found sad eyes staring back at me.
"A little, but I love it here on Berk with you and the others more than I loved camp with the demigods. I might miss the fun times, but this is just a new adventure for me."
He leaned down and kissed me. Then we started doing a little more than kissing. It got so bad that Thanatos actually stuck her head in and pulled Snotlout off of me. I glared at her.
"Go fuck Hookfang and leave us alone for a bit, M'Kay?"
She glared at Snotlout before dripping him and leaving. I laughed.
"Now, where were we?"
