Chapter 14: The End
Disclaimer on first chapter

Percy's POV

I got up to the top of the stairs thinking about what I just did back there. Why did I do that? Why didn't Athena hit me or something? I pondered those thoughts until Lady Artemis said,"Percy Jackson! Were you even listening?"
"What?" I said dazed.
"Idiot! I said you and Athena are wanted by the gods for you have broken the Ancient Laws, do you have anything to say for yourself?"
"Actually can I go outside first?," I said.
"Fine, make it quick, Thalia can you escort him?"
"Yes my Lady," Thalia said.
I walked outside and took off my celestial adamant sword, the helm, and the silver pouch and threw them into the sea. I prayed that the Nymphs of the North would keep the sacred items safe for all eternity and asked them if I could keep the armor transforming clothes. I walked back inside and faced Artemis.
"I am done,"I said.
"How about you, Athena?"
I turned around, Athena probably came up the stairs when I was gone.
She was silent at first then said,"Thank you, Artemis"
Lady Artemis just nodded her head. She snapped her fingers, then we were instantly transported to the throne room of Mount Olympus.
"PERSEUS JACKSON!" Zeus boomed.
Athena and I knelt down to him, then I saw my father on his throne, I guess he managed to get here before us.
"Percy I will deal with you later," Zeus said glaring, "Athena rise and address your father"
Next to me I saw Athena rise, I rose too and backed up.
"Athena, you are charged with breaking the Ancient Laws of the gods, the punishment for that would be to officially denounce you as a god, and have you cast into Tartarus."
"Yes father..."
If my eyes didn't betray me, I swore that Athena was tearing up.
"But," Zeus said,"you are a member of the Olympian Council and the Goddess of Wisdom, Knowledge, and Strategic War, if you were discharged from the council we would have um, Ares and well...you know...he's not really the brightest sword in the armory"
"Wait, what in Hades' name does that mean?" Ares yelled.
"See?"

"Anyways, Athena you have brought back Poseidon and put back Atlas under the sky, and coupled with the fact that you are the best strategist you are excused of your crimes, you may return to your throne."
Athena, smiled as a golden glow erupted all over Athena. She grew to giant size and sat back on her throne.
"PERSEUS JACKSON!" Zeus thundered.
I bowed down once again.
"You are charged with the same crime as Athena, breaking the Ancient Laws. And you are not a really important god anyways so you are disposable"
I nodded, his last sentence made me hurt and mad.
"But, you saved the lives of four people, two of which were my daughters. You defeated Kronos and returned him to Tartarus, and prevented the sacrifice that would have made the Kraken unstoppable. For that you are also pardoned for your crime."
I looked at Athena her face was alight with a smile as a smile erupted on my face.
"But," Zeus said,"I told you before you left on that quest that I will punish you for making me wait THREE LONG DAYS!"
My smile quickly disappeared and I saw Athena trying to hold back a laugh, not an evil one, but one that was like "Oops, sorry!"
"You will clean all of Mount Olympus with a tooth brush, oh and did I mention the tooth brush is the size of an ant?"
I sighed and nodded.
"This meeting of the Olympian Council is dismissed!"
All of the Olympians except Athena disappeared in a puff of smoke, Zeus of course disappeared in a puff of golden smoke with lightning bolts flaring around.
Athena grew back to normal size and looked at me in the eyes.
"Well consider your punishment as training," she said in a non-scolding voice.
"Okay, well I guess I have to get going," I said.
"Okay Percy, maybe we can talk later?"
I smiled and said,"Ya sure, my place maybe?"
"Okay" she said blushing, she then turned around and walked away.
Only later did I realized that I made it sound kind of like a date, but I felt that was right.

Outside the Palace...

Athena's POV

Did he just ask me out? Meh, if he did I would like that to happen, it felt right.

Percy's POV

I was almost done. I brushed fifty-six thousand square miles of Olympus. I only had to brush one more square mile then I am done and that area was my palace. I was about to finish scrubbing the balcony over looking Manhattan when Athena appeared beside me.
"So...Annabeth is alive and well, thank the fates,"she said.
"Good," I said as I put down the ridiculously tiny toothbrush and sat next to her.
"Um, Percy about what you said, in the hotel room..."
I bushed remembering what I said to her when I thought she was asleep.
"Did you really mean it?"
"Yes, Athena, I did"
She smiled and said,"well, I love you too."
I smiled and we shared a kiss, a long and passionate kiss. It was better then being a god, it just felt right.

Athena's POV

I love him so much. So when he kissed me I was well, think of Olympian parties times infinity on a curve. That was how delighted I was when we did it. I have a feeling that one of these days I am breaking my maiden promise to myself because well I can. Artemis cannot no matter what for she swore to Zeus. Me, I was like, meh I don't want to do it. But now? I want to, but not now, maybe in the future. Though right now I am going to go out to dinner with Percy.

Percy's POV

Our dinner was amazing. No I didn't bring her out to McDonald's. We just stayed in my palace and well I had my chefs make us dinner. This night was amazing. So now I lay in bed thinking about everything, about life. Then I asked myself, were the prophecies fulfilled? Lets see...

"Two shall go to the bridge painted red"

We went to the Golden Gate Bridge it was red, well technically orange...

"And they will find a man full of dread"

That mystery guy who was faking the entire thing to reveal ourselves...

"Stuck in a desert they will ask for help"

We did ask for help...from some people like that guy that I asked the time from...Not sure if that was important though...

"And stop in a place full of kelp"

Well the storage room in the Lotus Casino

"To save his friends and father, he will start"

I did save my father and friends...

"A journey that ends in a choice, that will make or break someone's heart"

Could this be about Athena? If I said nothing to her, could it have broken her heart that I didn't feel the way about her like she feels about me?

How about the other prophecy?

"One named Perseus will mimic his namesake"

I copied my namesake by saving Athena from the Kraken

"To save a girl from the remake"

Saved Athena from the Kraken...

"To end the quest he will fall"

This got me who should have fallen Atlas, Kronos, or me? I did fall through the floor...

"Until true love answers the call"

Okay, probably me, Athena did save me from the dungeon...

"The Goddess of Wisdom will fight her grand uncle"

She said she fought Atlas... he is her grand uncle

"To save her rival, the god of tidal"

She did save Poseidon directly so that makes sense. They seemed to be fufilled and that put my mind at ease. Everything is well, Kronos is back in Tartarus where he should belong, I am dating Athena, and that feels right, non of my friends died on this quest and I am a god. Life is good but cruel at the same time, just when you don't want it too. I closed my eyes and I was soon asleep.

Me: Finnaly! It is the end of the story! I just have to do the Acknoledgments and this story will be over!
Percy: That was great! I thought it wold be boring!
Annabeth: So I did persuade you to save my life!
Me: Of course! I wouldn't want anyone to die in my story!
Annabeth: Are you sure it wasn't because of last night? *twirls hair smiling*
Me: Um...uh...change subject...
Annabeth: But I'm still talking!
Me: Then tell Percy about the Eiffel Tower!
Annabeth: *Turns to Percy with eyes glinting* The Eiffel Tower was marvelous he took me their to dinner, though we had to fly in a plane...
Me: Anyway the acknowledgments will have some important details in it about my next story and when I am going to upload it and stuff...I am going to uplaoad it today so just wait for it.
Percy: *mouths "help me"*
Me: Good luck, Percy!
Percy: *glares*
Me: Anyways if you like this story, favorite this story, tell your friends, and read and review, Thank you!
Annabeth: *still talking to Percy* Gustave Eiffel also helped make the Statue of Liberty...and *Percy disappears* Percy?
Me: I think he took my pen...I think he wrote himself out of the room...
Annabeth: *shrugs* I will tell you about the Eiffel Tower then.
Me: Please do, I like architecture too remember?
Annabeth: Oh ya...
Me: Anyway see you guys later!

END OF STORY!
