AN: A shout out to 'Child of Death and Darkness' and I wish you a happy birthday.

AN: By the way, I am holding a contest. I want a piece of cover art for this story but I suck at drawing so I turn to my loyal readers . If any readers are able to draw a cover art for this story that I think fits then I will put it up and give you your credit. I would prefer if the cover art contained Percy using his new power mentioned in the first chapter.

Son of the Moon

Chapter 21

-Percy-

Gazing at the spot that, only moments ago, held the woman he loved the shock at her vanishing was quickly disappearing, being replaced by a blood boiling rage at those who took her. The sound of whirring helicopter blades drew his attention as he spun around and saw a mortal helicopter fly towards them and aim the weapons at the group. Normally he would have mist manipulated the mortals into leaving but when he saw the titans symbol on the side of the whirring machine his rage found a target, charging forward and began focusing his icy magic into his back as the moisture from the air and ground rose up and formed icy wings from his back as he leapt, shooting into the air with a yell as he used his wings and wind power to keep aloft while he charged the helicopter. The mortals didn't stand a chance as he saw the machine's weak spot and struck it with his water covered and enhanced fist before tearing apart the damaged spot causing the machine to begin dropping before he kicked it so it began falling down the cliff face and into the ocean.

Going to the ground he dropped his wings as he turned to his friends who remained just as Clarisse and Amanda shot at him and pulled him close, both crying their hearts out onto his shoulders . Dropping to his knees he held them close as the last of his rage finally left him, leaving only the heartbreak he had been feeling without end since Bianca left him and the fresh pain of her kidnapping. Soon more pairs of arms encircled them as he felt the divine presence of his mother and the hunt. Slowly he began to let out his pain, crying into the arms of those who loved him as his fatigue caught up with him and he slowly cried himself to sleep.

With a jolt he shot awake before taking in the familiar surroundings of a silver Hunt tent as he turned and saw his mother, asleep in a chair next to his cot. Groaning he pushed himself up before he noticed something felt off and realized that the extra scent he had carried was gone. His surprised gasp was enough to wake his mother whose eyes shot open as she saw him awake and screamed "PERCY!", pulling him to her as footsteps began charging towards the tent.

After everyone had seen him, and given him a hug that felt like he was being crushed by a grizzly bear, his mother chained him to a chair and ordered him to explain where he had been and what all had happened. Latching onto the chance to focus on something besides the memory of Bianca's horrified face when she was taken he began his tale.

He explained how, after he had exhausted his powers, he had fled to the nearest train station and began making his way towards Alaska via busses, trains, and boats as he made his way to an abandoned area of the frozen state. After arriving he had focused his powers deep into the icy ground, molding the ice and earth beneath his feet into a labyrinth of his own, giving the land beyond the gods its own labyrinth as the great creation of Daedalus could not enter the frozen state. He poured all of his power into the maze he formed, letting his energy shape it and create the traps before entering it and walking to the center, able to get anywhere through it due to it being imbued with his power.

After reaching the center he had performed the ritual where he took the other demigods scents and added it to his own before he had begun training in his labyrinth.

It had taken six hours for the first monster to enter the labyrinth. The moment the hypoborean, a surprisingly violent one, entered his labyrinth he felt its life force and could senses where the beast was…and how quickly it had taken for the lumbering creature to fall into a pit full of stone spikes. Focusing a bit more power he created a depression in the floor that had a small model of his labyrinth with a small snow version of himself in the center to keep better track of who entered hid domain.

So for the next three months he had trained and allowed his maze to kill of the entering monsters until his power over the waters told him of the monstrous creature that had entered the oceans near one of his labyrinths entrances.

His mother had nearly had a heart attack when he admitted that he had rushed out and attacked the giant turtle before realizing it could only be killed from inside as he jumped into its mouth and used the sea water in the creatures mouth and stomach to create ice spikes and stab its brain and other organs to kill it…he was pretty sure that his chains weren't coming off anytime soon.

He had spent the rest of his time in his labyrinth, only leaving to hunt for food, until a few weeks ago when he performed a raid on the camp of one of Gaea's giants that had reformed a couple decades before by the name of Alcyoneus, he smirked as he remembered that fight.

-Flashback-

Looking around warily, the son of Artemis entered the desolate Roman training camp atop of Hubbard Glacier, having interrogated some of the tougher monsters to enter his Labyrinth and discovered that a giant son of Gaea and Tartarus had been living there since the Eighties and had killed a good portion of the Roman demigod force along with taking the majority of the Roman's imperial gold and even their Eagle Battle Standard. The moment he crossed the worn gates of the camp torches, topped by icy blue flames, burst into being to reveal the giant atop its throne.

Alcyoneus was monstrous, fifty feet tall and had dark red hair that was braided with gems and hunks of precious metals while his upper body seemed to be made of gold while his draconic legs were the color of rust. The giant wore armor made of platinum links and gripped in one fist was an iron staff the size of a totem pole.

The giant sneered at seeing him, "Well," it rumbled in a deep voice that seemed to resonate in the very ice beneath his feet "this is truly an honor. The Son of Artemis has set foot in my, oh so humble abode. It has been millennium's before I've had the chance to break a demigod even close to your caliber.". With those words Alcyoneus pounded his staff into the icy ground as shades began to slowly come from the buildings, the spirits of dead Legionnaire's that had betrayed Olympus for a chance to live again under the protection of the son of Gaea. "I am Alcyoneus demigod!" he roared, beating his golden fist to the platinum armor "First born of the Giants and immortal where I am born, and I was born again in Alaska!".

Smirking he fell into a stance and drew his blade before facing the giant and declaring "Alcyoneus of the giants, I challenge you to single combat to the death.".

The shades began chattering in their ghostly voices before their master raised a hand to silence them before turning so they were looking into each other's eyes, taking the measure of the other before the giant nodded and the shades formed a ring around them.

The moment the giant fell into a stance he shot forward, slashing at the platinum armor of Alcyoneus and prepared for the best moment to implement his plan. Dodge, parry, slash, thrust, ice spears, jump. All thoughts left his mind as he devoted his entire being to the fight, using every ounce of his skill against the massive opponent before him as he slowly destroyed the platinum armor his opponent wore till only Alcyoneus' golden hide and a platinum loincloth remained for protection.

"A good show demigod!" the anti-Hades crowed merrily, seeming to be genuinely enjoying the bout, "I have never had a fight such as this! You are far more skilled than the last Hero who defeated me, not surprising though as you did capture him after all, the traitor Hercules has never had honor, he had to rely on attacking me from behind to win.".

"Not…surprising…" he responded, getting out each word between dodges of the iron staff that would crush him if it connected "he…was all brawn...no brain, speed, or skill…".

"Quite so," the giant nodded sagely, the stones in its hair clinking at the motion "now while I have enjoyed this fight enormously it must come to a close. I offer you this, join me and help me raise my mother and I shall give you a seat of power in the new world.".

"No thanks," he said with a smirk "I think I'll just kill you instead.".

Alcyoneus laughed at that "Were you not paying attention Son of Artemis?" the golden behemoth demanded "I cannot be killed where I am born.".

"But you weren't born in this spot were you?" he asked with a smirk as Alcyoneus paled at how the simple wording that defined and shaped his powers was turned against him with the small loophole at how he could be both the weakest giant and the strongest while his skin flashed between bronze and gold due to the doubt the giant now felt.

With a yell he used the snow beneath his feet to launch himself into the air and stabbed Alcyoneus through the throat when his skin was brass and the giant gurgled, black oil pooling from the wound as the giant collapsed and slowly fell apart into a pile of precious metals which he grabbed and put into a bag he carried which could carry more than normal, a gift from Beckendorf after the Sea of Monsters, before turning to the shocked Shades and charging with a yell as he slew them, their imperial gold weapons and armor falling to the ground upon their deaths.

-End Flashback-

After grabbing all the Imperial gold items he had returned to his labyrinth to continue training. Most of his training at this point was to begin experimenting with the powers he had gained from the various blessings from his grandparents and patrons along with his older powers which was how he discovered his wings.

"Then a few days ago I received a message from the ghost of one of the previous spirits of Delphi while I was working on the Powers Hades gave me. She explained that you guys would need help soon and that if I didn't help then you all would be either captured or killed so I loaded the chariot I had acquired when raiding Alcyoneus' camp and charged down to a festival that the Romans were having with the Amazons and gave them the weapons to them.". Wincing he rubbed his ears "And had to go through a massive chewing out from Reyna and Hylla as well as an interrogation from Lupa and some of the Legionnaires who had heard of our adventures, thinking the same thing Reyna and Hylla had at first, going into fangirl mode over me.".

Amanda and Clarisse giggled weakly at the image it portrayed before he continued "And then I used my water travel to get here just before…" here he trailed off, still hurt both by her leaving him and her kidnapping, not to mention that Nico, his brother in everything but blood had been taken as well.

His mom sighed softly and pulled him close, softly rubbing his back as she held him, as if afraid that the moment she stopped he would vanish. As he returned the hug he felt sickened with himself, knowing that with the day of the Prophecy approaching…he may very well end up doing just that if he failed to survive.

AN: I have a request for my wonderful fans. I'm always looking for good Fanfiction to read so help me out here. I'm looking for good stories for Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Naruto (preferably AU's starting at the Wave mission), Sword Art Online, and Fullmetal Alchemist. Only thing I would like you to avoid suggesting is genderbending and Slash fiction, I don't have a problem with people writing or enjoying them I just don't like them myself. Thank you.
