Chapter Twenty-Five
The last chapter. This will probably answer any questions you have. If not, well that sucks majorly for you. Anyway, enjoy this tearful conclusion.
Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or The Heroes of Olympus. But I do own Nachesa Smith and the Olympians.
The three demi-gods stood in awe at their friend. She bled from her left shoulder but besides that she seemed unharmed. She wiped the sweat off her brow and returned her sword to ring form.
"Remind me to never fight anyone ever again." Nacy sighed and walked up to her friends, who were still frozen. "What is wrong with you guys?"
"You just killed Phoebe," Percy said.
"She is not dead, remember that, and I had to otherwise she would have killed me."
"But you called her warm blooded. Does that mean you're cold blooded?" Nico asked.
"Remember it's not whether you're good or bad, dark or light, warm or cold, it's your actions that make you who you are," Annabeth said.
"Wow that is like really deep," Nacy mused.
"Too deep," Nico added.
"I thought it was nice," Percy conceded.
"Shows what you know," Nacy and Nico said at the same time.
"Hey! That was rude. And for the record I know plenty."
"Um maybe we should get that wrapped up before you pass out from blood loss," Annabeth pointed at Nacy's arm.
Erebus had returned and started acting like his own self again. He also returned his furniture so that Annabeth could dress Nacy's wound easily.
"So what now?" Nacy asked
"It feels like that has been said one too many times on this journey," Annabeth sighed. "It's not up to us. You have to decide what you want to do from here on out."
"You can stay here or with your mother," Erebus added. "Whichever you choose we will always love you."
"Wow, what a standard parent thing to say," Nacy said sarcastically. "What I want to do is just sleep, but since you will all be leaving soon I will stay up until you leave. Then I will live here with my father, occasionally traveling around to different places."
"That was a fast answer," Erebus mumbled.
"I already knew what I was going to do even before you offered. I will be giving over to yours and mothers ordain and I will forever be held in darkness. It is my ending after such a confusing beginning."
"But . . ." Nico started.
"But what?"
"Uh nothing."
"Please tell me, Nico."
"But will I ever see you again?"
Nacy laughed. "Of course. I was thinking there should be a cabin for Nyx's children at Camp Half-Blood plus I will be living right next door to your father so we can see each other whenever you like."
"Cool."
"We will see each other again, I know that for certain, but for now you should probably return to camp. Chiron will be wondering about your latest adventure."
Nacy saw her three friends to the entrance to The Door of Orpheus, hugged each one and said her goodbyes. None looked back as they headed up the dark steps but each one wanted to. In Nacy's mind she would never see them again, but in her heart she raced up those steps following them on their next adventure. Then she remembered Thalia and settled for seeing them again someday.
Nacy headed back to her father's home and fell asleep on the couch. In her dream she whispered to herself and her 7 sisters, "So now what?"
The End
You may not have noticed but this ending is kind of depressing but I hate endings. And the fact that it didn't really explain anything is annoying. If you want and epilogue to this than just review and tell me than I do have some interesting ideas. I really hoped you enjoyed this story because it took a hell of a long time to finish and a lot of my brain power to get down Anyway, Review!
