*TIME SKIP* Earth Mother Demolished

A/N: So, I'm an author who experienced school and writer's block. Get over it. We all have lives. So yeah I didn't update and…it's always like this first quarter. So whatever. I pulled through. I wonder if anyone forgot me. Whatever. I don't care. Here you go, my patient lovelies ;)

I present you the last chapter of Blood of Olympus! (No, this doesn't mean the end of Percy Jackson because I have some plans for the Percy Jackson characters…namely Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia—I'm sorry but I love her too much)

Without further ado, please enjoy the next (highly overdue) chapter of, 'Years of Change!' :)

(End of House of Hades)

(Lina)

Hecate appears out of thin air, "Well done," she says, directing this at Hazel, Leo, and me, "You defeated Pashiphae and Clytius. You Leo, and you Lina, can make one amazing fireball when you team up."

She then turns directly to me, "Soon, my world and the demigod world will meet, much sooner than you may think, dear Alina. You will have to play the challenging role of peacekeeper between the two. But now you will need to go to Ancient Greece to take care of the Giants.

Leo snorts, "Lina Quimby, fight starter extraordinaire, as a peacekeeper?! Yeah, tell me how that goes."

I elbow him hard in the ribs, "Hecate, what do you mean by—"

Poof. She disappears.

"UGH!" I scream in frustration.

(July the twenty fourth: her birthday)

(Lina)

I wake up that day and get ready. Things were getting worse: both in Harry's world and mine. Sure, Percy and Annabeth are here safe and sound, but on August first, no one will be safe and sound.

I was so preoccupied with my life, that for the first time in my life, I had absolutely no clue that I turn fifteen today.

I walk out of my cabin where Frank was outside, "Oh, hey Frank." I smile, "What's up?"

Frank looks nervous, "Uh, how's that weather?"

"Sunny…" I trail off, "Are you alright? You're acting sort of strange."

"Fine," He says, "Chipper, really."

I shake my head and try to walk past him to the kitchen but he blocks me. "What're you playing at?" I demand, "Let me through this instant."

"We're ready," I heard a voice hiss.

Frank nods at the voice and lets me through. What the Hades is going on…

I walk in the kitchen to see a double chocolate cake with the numbers 15 on it. And then it hit me.

I managed to forget my own frickin birthday.

Suddenly they all jump out of various hiding spots, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINA!"

"I can't believe that you remembered my birthday…when I forgot it." I manage to get out.

Midnight suddenly lands on my shoulder and gives me a note.

Happy fifteenth, love. Stay safe over there.

-Harry.

His note was enclosed with chocolates of different types and another charm to go on my necklace he gave me in third year. Okay, now I just feel like an idiot. Even Harry knew it was my birthday.

Wow.

(Current point in story: note that there will be demigod dreams as fillers during fifth year)

Lina

Looking back at my fifteenth birthday, I wonder what idiot thought of the idea.

We were utterly screwed, and about to die, "The Blood of Olympus to wake the earth mother!" Porphyrion roars.

We were all trying our hardest against the giant army, but absolutely nothing was working.

"Percy, look out!" I scream. But it was too late. The blood from a nosebleed he received spilled on the Ancient Stones.

One boy.

One girl and Gaea will awake.

The giants had us backed up in a defensive arc. Porphyrion laughs, "You demigods have learned nothing. There are no gods to aid you. We only need one more thing from you to make our victory complete, particularly from the Quimby girl."

Hazel mumbles something I couldn't hear.

I look at her. She tries to mouth something to me, but I couldn't read her lips.

"Too late," She manages to whisper.

A drop of blood dropped on the Ancient stones from a minor cut.

"Just the two sacrifices she wanted! The Earth Mother will be happy!" Porphyrion roars as the Earth Mother began to awake.

I woke her up.

Damn.

Why is it that I can imagine myself telling my future children my adventures? I'm not even going to live long.

Crap.

Suddenly the gods came out of nowhere. They were charging out on their chariots from the heavens, weapons at ready.

We all suddenly gain strength. Jason lets out a cry of war as we charge them.

Mom was calling words of encouragement, "Good, Lina dearest! Use another fireball on him! Show him which girl he's messing with! Wonderful, Piper dear! Hit her again!"

Whenever the enemy tried to strike, doves fluttered in their faces.

With all the efforts, the giants became dust.

Percy, Annabeth and I were riding towards Camp Half Blood on Frank the dragon.

"LET'S GET THEM!" I yell.

"I REALLY HATE FLYING!" Percy yells.

Annabeth rolls her eyes, "Frank, you see what I have to put up with?"

Frank landed and we climb off.

Both groups of camps cheer.

"OH MY GODS, LIN-BEAN!" A blur of red hair came flying straight at me.

I hug her back, "It's alright, Anne-Banana, I'm fine." I soothe.

I pull her protectively as monsters start to approach the Camp.

"Legion, cuneum formate!" Reyna yells, "ADVANCE!"

Percy, Annabeth, and I join up with the rest of the Camp Half Blood campers. "Alright!" I yell, "LET'S KILL ALL THOSE MONSTER THINGIES!"

There was a ripple of laughter as we yell and charge.

AWAKE, a voice booms. Everyone jumps and Anne and I grab each other. We watch as the earth swirls upward into a twenty-foot tall woman.

"Little fools," Gaea opens her eyes. "The paltry magic of your statue cannot contain me."

Anne and I gulp in fear.

"Stand fast!" Piper shouts, "Greeks and Romans, we can fight her together!"

"The whole earth is my body," Gaea laughs, "How would you fight the goddess of—"

In a flash, Gaea was swept off the hillside by a fifty-ton dragon.

"Guys!" Leo calls down, "Are you coming? The fight's up here!"

I nod slowly, "Anne, I'll be back."

"You can't go up there!" She insists.

"I have to," I insist, "I have to go up there and help them."

Jason puts his arm around Piper and I, about to liftoff to where Leo was.

"Wait, Fire-Girl!" Percy calls, "Frank will fly the rest of us up there! We'll help you! We'll—"

"No, they need you here." Jason says, "There's an army to defeat and the prophecy says that the four of us—"

"He's right," Frank says, "This is only them."

"Problem over there!" Annabeth calls, "Lina, come back alive or I'll kill you myself a second time." She deadpans.

The last thing I yell before I liftoff on Jason, about to defeat Gaea was "KEEP ANNE FROM HARM!"

"To storm or fire the world must fall

Girls of the dove,

Must work together to get the Earth Mother rid of."

The words kept repeating in my head like some sort of chant.

Jason is storm.

Leo and I are fire.

Piper and I are the girls of the dove.

The wind and clouds surround Jason and crack into a thunderstorm. Leo and Festus were blasting the Earth goddess with flames while Leo was yelling, "Potty Sludge! Dirt Face! THIS IS FOR MY MOTHER, ESPERANZA VALDEZ!"

"Get me in closer," I tell Jason, who zooms towards them. I manage to hitch a ride on Festus's back.

"Some earth goddess are you," I grind out, blasting her with some flames of my own, "Sending an Eidolon at me twice—making my life utter hell—filling my fourth year with horrid dreams—killing Leo's mother—putting Annabeth and Percy in freaking Tartarus-"

The flames around me crackled at a dangerous rate.

"Um…Lina…" Piper warns.

The flames only grew bigger as my anger escalated, "NEARLY KILLING US ALL," I continue ranting, "PUTTING ANNE IN DANGER, THREATENING TO KILL HARRY—YOU—DIRT—BAG—SCUM. You deserve—to ROT IN AN ABYSS!"

"FOOLISH GIRL! YOU CANNOT DEFEAT ME ALINA!" Gaea yells.

Another blast of fire, "I WILL BLOODY TRY!"

"I AM ETERNAL!"

Another blast of fire, "ETERNALLY AN ASSHOLE!"

"INSOLENT GIRL!"

Another blast of fire, "GET ME NEXT TO THE DIRT FACED ASSHOLE!"

"You are so weary," Piper charmspeaks, "Eons of pain and disappointment weigh on you."

I sigh and take deep breaths to let myself cool down. After all, charmspeak doesn't work if you're pissed off ready to kill someone.

"SILENCE!"

"Lots of sorrow in your life," I add with my own charmspeak.

"Your husband was abusive, your children thrown into Tartarus," Piper adds, "You are very tired of heartache."

"LIES!"

"You want to get away from it all, you want to go to sleep. You hate us all. You want some rest away from us," I charmspeak.

"YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME."

"You want to close your eyes and forget your troubles," Piper charmspeaks.

"NO!"

"YOU—WANT—SLEEP." We charmspeak in unison.

Gaea solidifies into human form.

"Leo! We only have a few seconds!" Piper gasps.

"I know, I'll vaporize her. I can't hold the fire for much longer." Leo says, "By the way, I love all of you. And tell the guys down there that. I told you I had a plan."

Festus's claw opens and drops us.

If people wanted more details on what happened, I would say, "I don't remember what next. But I do wish I realized what Leo was going to do sooner before he disappeared."

"It's all over?"

"It's all over."

"It's all over?"

"It's all over."

"At least something good happened," He says bitterly.

I blink, "What do you mean?"

"Ron and Hermione need to tell me—I mean us what the hell is going on. Remember the Dementors? From third year?" He asks.

"Who wouldn't?" I shudder.

"Well one came to our neighborhood—"

"In Surrey?"

"I can't believe it either," Harry says.

"I'm guessing you used the Patronus on them." I state. "But it's still part of the United Kingdom…which means you still have the trace on you." (1.)

"Yeah," He says, "I might be expelled."

"They can't do that!" I exclaim, "You probably saved yours and your whale of a cousin's lives!"

"Might. Apparently there's supposed to be some sort of hearing. Ron and Hermione need to tell us—"

Someone came up to me by the creek and I jump, blocking Harry from view of the person.

"Lina, we just finished building the new warzone. You should come check it out!"

You see, the great thing about this whole mess is that Greeks and Romans can now trust each other and talk to each other without going all commando killer or something.

"I will in a sec. Thanks Reyna!"

I turn back to Harry, "Listen. You will get out of this. You always get out of things, I always get out of things, it's what makes the two of us special."

"You think so?" He says.

"I know so." I say, before swiping the Iris Message off,

"I'm not so sure about this one…" I trail off, "I'm going to go check out the new warzone."

A/N: So yeah. That was the chapter. Goodbye, Earth Mother. I hate you. I just realized that Jason, Piper, and Lina wouldn't be in the scene when Octavian dies :( I wanted to write that and laugh maniacally because I despise him. Oh well. The next chapter will be a tad more interesting ;)

Footnotes:

(1): In my version, the underage magic thing—they can only catch you if you are in the United Kingdom. If you aren't, they don't care, so that is how Lina was doing magic on the quests without getting caught.

So yeah…I'll try and update sooner hopefully…eh…

Please R&R :)
