Hello dear readers

Now for part 2 of chapter 11, hope you liked the last chapter. Now to introduce a new character to the story, who is she and can she save Percy? You'll just have to read and find out.

? POV

I landed in a forest. I didn't know where I was but I could feel I was close to him. I still remember the sadness in mother's eyes. She said I was the only one who could save him. I knew what was happening and my only hope was to find the hunters. They would be the only one who could lead me to him, after all my mother had said that she wouldn't let anyone near him. My mother had sent mere here, because she believed they would come here, after she had sent them the message. I had to find them fast before it is too late. He didn't have much time left. I should have arrived a week after he lost his soul. It was strange because Odin taught me that nobody, not even the Gods could live without a soul. Most Gods could live a couple of days, but he had survived for almost a week. His strength had to be running out. He couldn't keep holding on if his soul wasn't healed. Maybe that was why he could stay so long, because his soul wasn't gone but simply broken. I kept thinking this as I made my way through the forest. I knew where the hunters would be, if they had gotten the message. My mother told me that if they got the message they would definitely be there. I just prayed she was right.

I walked for what felt like days, something that Night had told me was simply the after effects of this magic. He had directly defied the will of his father when he sent me here. As I got closer to the meeting place I could sense her aura, like Night had taught me before sending me here. I began to run, faster and faster. I was out of breath when I finally ran directly into their temporary camp.

Zoë POV

When we got the letter I was skeptical at first. None of us knew who had sent the letter, but Artemis urged us to find out. She was prepared for anything to save Percy, honestly so was I. However, I also knew what Percy would feel if we went and sacrificed too much. We had made camp at the location in the letter, now we were waiting for the person to show up. We had no idea of what would happen, whether it was a trap set by Phenex to divide us, but it was a chance we had to take. I stood and practiced swordplay with Serena, as she wanted to be able to fight like her brother. I couldn't make her as strong or good as he was, but I could help her along. Freya had taught me things I never knew you could do with a sword. She also tried to teach me how to use my female assets in a fight, though I outright refused. Never will I disgrace myself like that, I'd rather die than do something like that.

We had camped here a couple of days now, still waiting for whoever it was who sent the letter.

Suddenly I felt something familiar, yet completely unknown. My head shot up, I looked in the direction of the aura I felt. It felt as if he was he, but he couldn't be. Then it felt like her aura, then it changed back to his, combining and twisting together until it created a mix of both. I was puzzled at what that meant, who could manipulate their aura like that? Night had told us that only a rare few could do it. Percy had acquired the ability by training. But this was different than what he had done in the past. Then we heard someone running. Branches broke under the weight of whoever it was that ran. Then came out a girl. She had long jet black hair, much like his. Her eyes shone with silvery determination and something else. Fear. She seemed so familiar.

"Who are you?" Asked Thalia, I could see that her muscles flexed as she readied herself to attack if necessary.

"Easy, Thalia. I'm a friend" she said before I could tell Thalia to do exactly the same. At the mention of Thalia's name, all of us froze and looked bewildered at her.

"How did you know my name?" Thalia finally mustered herself to ask. She was still ready to attack. "Because my mother told me so, besides, I was raised among you" she said. At that I chimed in. "You, raised among us? I think you're mistaken about something girl. But do tell us your name" I said sternly as I walked a bit closer to her. Somehow I knew she wasn't an enemy. She gave off the same radiance that he did.

She facepalmed, as Percy had told me of the action of hitting your head with your palm. "Right, I forgot, that won't happen for another couple years" she said as she finally looked up and directly into my eyes.

"Zoë, I know you believe me. You and Bianca can feel my aura, no?" She asked already knowing we could. I nodded, and assumed Bianca did the same. I studied the girl closely. Could she be? No, that was impossible, or was it? I thought to myself.

"Who are you?" I asked again, before she told us I already knew I was right.

"My name is Akasha Nightshade. I was sent here by Night, from the future. I have to save my father before the future is completely changed" she said as we all looked dumbfounded at her.

"The future" I asked. She told us everything, how Night had approached her and her mother, telling them that if they wanted to stay like this, she had to travel back in time and save her father. The Future Night had shown, her what the future would become if she didn't. She would have been the child of Phenex instead of him. After she was done, we all decided that it would be best to venture back to them as he had to be healed quickly, before it was too late.

Annabeth POV

Why hadn't I urged him not to fight? I knew this would happen, well almost this. I couldn't help feeling responsible for what happened, even though Hestia told me it wasn't my fault. After the battle, after he fell, Hestia had stood up comforting us. She took his place as the leader, and it struck me how different the council would have been if she was the leader. She had a natural talent for it, as if Percy's "death" had brought out her inner self. She took me to the side told me that I couldn't blame myself, he wouldn't want that. She was right, he wouldn't want me to sit here moping around, while the enemy grew stronger. I went to my mother, together, I was sure we could come up it a battle plan until he was back again.

Artemis POV

I sat beside him. He just laid in the bed looking at the ceiling. He had said much but he knew where he was, who I was. It pained me to see him like this. I had finally gotten my memories back. The moment my eyes had fallen upon him, the spell that kept them away came back. I hoped my hunters would soon find the person, who might be able to save him. I prayed from the bottom of my heart, though, whom I didn't know, didn't care. I just wanted him back to normal. I wanted my husband back. It felt strange thinking about him that way. The fates had pronounced us husband and wife before we'd even talk about this, not that I'm complaining. Quite the opposite, I couldn't be happier, but it still felt like someone had decided upon, it before any of us had been born.

He had closed his eyes and I could hear from his breathing, he had fallen asleep. I looked at his face. He looked so peaceful when he slept. I softly stroked his chin and leaned down to kiss his forehead before I decided it would do me good with some sleep.

I headed out the door, but stopped as I heard him call my name. I turned around and almost answered until I saw he was still sleeping. I smiled, thinking that even though he had lost his soul, he still dreamt of me.

Akasha POV

We traveled as quickly as we could. Somehow our path had begun to swarm with monsters. I heard Zoë swore like I had never heard before. I had grown up around the hunters, although it was in the future, but in all that time she had never used that kind of language, at least not in front of me. But it was quite nice seeing her much like herself.

We found a clearing where we decided to rest. The hunters were exhausted and so was I. I looked at Zoë and Bianca seeing that neither of them were as exhausted as the rest of the hunters. Then I remembered the stories she and my father had told me.

Zoë saw me looking and smiled as she walked closer to me. She sat down beside me.

"Akasha Percy is your father, right? But who is your mother?" She asked, looking me in the eyes. I remembered Nights words clearly. Never are you to tell who your mother is, do you understand. At this time it is not known too wildly how much our mother will change in his presence.

"I'm sorry Zoë I can't tell you, Night told me not to tell, but I think you know already. But you have to keep quiet about it" I said in a tone that said this is important.

"You're right, I guess I do know. Don't worry, I'll keep quiet" she said as she winked at me before making her way to my aunt. She was different than when I left. When I left, she was stronger than my father was after the war with Gaea, as he had told me about. He had of course also trained her in the art of using water. She had a strong affinity with using the inherited powers to cause earthquakes and had from the stories scared the hunters out of bed, when it first materialized. She had done it in her sleep, and from my father's stories it wasn't a small one, but and earth cracking one.

I felt something in the air. Something was wrong.

"Zoë" I called and when she heard my tone she looked around.

Suddenly we were surrounded by monsters. We were outnumbered completely. There was no way we could fight our way out. These monsters looked hungry, but it was a different hunger. This was lust. I prayed to my father, that he would come and save us.

Father, please help us.

I felt tears flowing down my chins as the monsters slowly walked closer.

I prayed harder and harder.

Then the sky lit up in a dark light. It was literally darkness. Before us stood he. The monsters wavered for a split second. But that was all he needed. He leapt faster than our eyes could follow. He flowed through the enemies. I watched I awe as I saw my father as he used the powers hidden inside him, from the blessing of Night.

In a mere moment, the enemies were gone. Only he was left in a pile of golden dust mixed with blood.

He turned his head towards me and his eyes full kindness watched me. He smiled at me.

"Akasha" he said, that freaked me out as he shouldn't have known me. I could only watch him as he slowly stepped closer until he was finally close enough to engulf me in a hug. He smelled just like I remembered and I openly cried into my father's shoulder. Happy to know he was saved. That Night's plan had worked. I hugged him even tighter as we stood. I began thinking of mom, and I couldn't wait to see her again. I knew I had to stay and help with this war, they needed me. I smiled.

Hope you liked the story.
