The sky was getting brighter by the minute, so I decided to speed things up, I increased the intensity of the flames, Typhon held up his arms, "Stop that!" he bellowed. I smirked and kept increasing it as much as I can, which wasn't much, it would seem I'm out of power, well, almost at least.
I lifted up my arm and brought it down as hard as I could, Typhon stop it with both of his hands, "Nice try." He said like he just won, again. "I could say the same to you." I had my other hand ready to stab him right in the stomach. His eyes grew wide.
I laughed and shadow traveled about two thousand feet right above Typhon, I turned off my flames and concentrated all my power to my left hand, a bright blazing blade appeared on my left hand. The flames was getting more intense as I freefell down back to Earth. I used the winds to pick up my speed, the clouds ripped apart when I got closer to Typhon, he was a thousand feet below me now, if this doesn't kill him, nothing will.
Even with the curse of Achilles I could feel how hot my left arm was, like lava, but add a thousand more degrees to it. Maybe even more, but because of all my other powers, my arm kept healing, but my palm was hurting for some reason. Five hundred feet and Typhon looked up to see me flying with amazing speed. With the winds, I can move at the speed of sound.
Three hundred feet, two hundred and one hundred feet. Typhon was too big to move so he tried to time it right and grab me in mid-air, he was a split second too late.
Above me was an ocean of golden blood, he first fell to his knees and then he fell right on his stomach. He wasn't moving.
I took a deep breath and stomped my foot on the ground and then I extended my arms and from left and right I moved my arms like I was splitting open the sea. But instead the ground opened up, a huge crack in the Earth opened up and shallowed Typhon. "You will never set your feet on Earth ever again. You will spend eternity with Tartarus!"
I watched Typhon fall into darkness, "I won…" I said and almost fell forward, I can rest easy now, I can leave everyone alone, and they don't need me now. I can spend all my time with Artemis and the hunters…Can I? The sun rose and then a loud ringing noise erupted in my ears, a demi-god didn't die, and then the only thing that could happen right now is that, Percy and everyone else, defeated Kronos, the lord of time.
I concentrated on Percy, he was with Luke who wasn't moving, they were at the hearth in Olympus, I wondered where the gods were, but I couldn't pay attention to that at the moment, I noticed Luke's left side was bloody His breath was a deep rattle.
"Good . . . blade," he croaked.
'You will save the one you will least expect to save.' I finally realized who Pan was talking about, Luke was the one I least expected to save, only because of how far he'd gone, but now. I can fix it, I can save him. I turned invisible and shadow traveled to them.
When I got there, Annabeth sniffled. "You always pushed yourself too hard."
He held up his charred hand. Annabeth touched his fingertips.
"Did you . . ." Luke coughed and his lips glistened red. "Did you love me?"
Annabeth wiped her tears away. "There was a time I thought . . . well, I thought . . ." She looked at Percy.
"You were like a brother to me, Luke," she said softly. "But I didn't love you."
Luke nodded, as if he'd expected it. He winced in pain.
"We can get ambrosia," Grover said. "We can—"
"Grover," Luke gulped. "You're the bravest satyr I ever knew. But no. There's no healing. . . ." Another cough.
He gripped Percy's sleeve, "Ethan. Me. All the unclaimed. Don't let it . . . Don't let it happen again."
His eyes were angry, but pleading too.
"I won't," Percy said. "I promise."
Luke nodded, and his hand went slack. I could feel him slowly dying, but I walked up to him and gave him a little more power to stay alive, but not enough to wake up. I know this is going to shock everyone, but…I'm going to take him somewhere no one will find us. I put my hand on his chest, and then Luke and I were on Calypso's island that now held three people. Me and Luke were on the beach, he laid one the soft sand.
He can make a new life, although he might not like this…but I had to save him, I should have saved him right from the beginning, I was the reason why he turned so bad. I could have saved him from all that pain. But I thought everything had to be done by me and me alone.
I looked around and saw no one. I sighed and shouted out, "I'm back!"
I heard a yelp and then from out of the cave was Calypso, she had tears in her eyes, "Wyatt!" She tackled me, I almost fell, but I managed to stay standing, "I missed you too…" I said and looked at Luke. "I have a huge favour to ask of you."
She wiped her cheeks and showed off her bright smile, "Anything."
I smiled, "Thank you sister. Can you watch over Luke? He's not dead, but he will be if you don't patch up the scar on his left side. I can't do it, because I just defeated Typhon…And I am very tired. I'll most likely be asleep for a month or two." I explained to Calypso. She looked at Luke, and then she examined his wound, "I…I'll do it…" there was a sadness in her voice, but then she smiled, "He'll be okay with me watching over him. You just take your time."
I nodded, "Thank you so much, I'm in your debt."
I helped her take Luke to her cave, I looked in the corner where my bed was, still looks the same. I'm glad, once Luke was on her bed, Calypso started stitching his side. After she was sure he'll be okay, I decided it was time for me to sleep.
"About time…Cal…Calypso?" I said with my eyes half closed, "Hmm?" She said and raised her eye brow.
"When he…Wakes up, don't be discouraged if he gets mad. Just tell him, I'm sorry and that I just wanted to give him a happy new life. I know his life with Annabeth and the others would have been better, but I wanted to start over with him." I said and sat down, feeling like I did a good thing.
Can I finally be happy?
Or will I have to go back and try to help?
The god of mortals isn't needed anymore.
But I will always be remembered by everyone I helped, but…I also have a promise to keep. Artemis, the goddess of the moon and the hunt, she told me I only had three years to spend away from her.
So maybe I will have to go back, since it was a promise on the River Styx.
Plus spending my life with her and the hunters isn't a bad thing, since they all accept me now.
Artemis, I'll be back beside someday. You can count on that.
And then.
My eyes closed.
No dreams, just a soft bed.
Just a life without fighting for once.
The ending was eh, right? Anyway...I really love Caleo but...I really didn't like how Luke died without being happy, maybe he was happy for the first part of his life, but I thought he should have had a better ending, plus I'm curious about someone else being with Leo I have someone in mind, but I won't you tell you guys :D
Luke is awesome, I want to make him even more awesome by saving him and seeing how he and Calypso will end up! Plus...will he return the mortal world when he is found out? Or will he fight to stay with Calypso? Or maybe ask Wyatt to take Calypso and him to their own place, somewhere, where no god or demi-god will find them?
And then there's Leo (My favorite character) Can you guess who is a little bit similar to him? And will he be the one to save everyone from Gaia?
I want to develop Wyatt's character a little bit more before ending everything. Plus he hasn't learn all his powers and he hasn't made everything right with Nico, and what about his mother?
Wyatt is no god, but do you think there will be a roman version of him? (Easy question) I guess that is all I have to say about this one...Wait I lied, what do you think Artemis is going to do when they reunite?
Thanks for reading! I hope you all have an awesomely wonderful day!
Until next time.
