This isn't exactly Thuke, but it's kinda close. Note: this is like one hundred years or so after Percy, Annabeth, Grover and all Thalia's friends have died. This isn't the last Thalia drabble though :)


"Fall back!" Artemis yelled, running towards the Hunter's camp, gathering the girls. Thalia didn't fall back though, she stood her ground and watched as the unsightly monster advanced, and dragging its wounded leg behind it. It was one of her many fatal flaws; finishing whatever she started, life threatening or not.

"Thalia!" Several voices yelled, calling the daughter of Zeus, but she ignored them and focused on the monster's weak point. Right below it's jaw. She'd hit it earlier, cut it with her hunting knife but it wasn't enough to kill it, only point out its weakness.

She charged forward, her shield having no effect on the monster and leaped up, aiming to hit the throat. She was thrown back with a meaty paw and landed with a loud oomph on the ground. Struggling to her feet, she knew some of the Hunter's and Artemis were racing forward, shooting arrows into the monster's back, but they had no effect.

Seeing a fallen sword, she jumped forward, grabbing it in her hand and ran forward, stabbing the beat below the jaw. But not before she was hit with a spike.

This thing threw spikes? She asked herself, but it was foggy and she was forgetting her name, where she was, everything. She felt herself fall, but she was too far gone to have realised the pain that shot up her spine. The spike was lodged in her stomach, a very fatal wound.

Artemis ran forward, dropping to her knees in front of Thalia and began talking to her.

"You're going to be alright, okay Thalia? Everything's fine. You're fine," she said quietly but she knew this was the end.

Thalia coughed, it was a liquid cough, and she assumed it was blood.

"Guess-" she winced, but continued, "guess you need a new lieutenant, huh?"

Artemis scowled down at her dying friend and said sharply, "Shut up you idiot," before softening her tone, "You'll be alright Thalia. You're not dying."

"Yeah I am," she said quietly, looking up at the sky.

Thalia's breathing became quieter. Artemis began crying, her tears mixing with the ones Thalia didn't realise she had, and more of the Hunter's gathered around the young girl.

It was quiet, no sound came from anywhere. The wind had stopped and the sky was quiet. All animals had ceased their chirping and barking and noises and it was…nice.

"You're scarily calm for something so terrifying…" Artemis began, a silver tear balancing precariously on the tip of her nose.

"I've died before, I know what it's like," she answered, watching stars race across the sky. She wasn't scared, though. She got to see her friends again. Friends that had long since departed from this world and that turned whatever fear she had into something else. Something peaceful and calm.

"Don't be sad, Artemis," formalities had long since been forgotten, "I'll get to see my friends."

Artemis smiled at her lieutenant and whispered, "And Luke."

Thalia smiled softly, "Yeah, and Luke…"

And the cruel, cruel Fates cut the string.

Then the sky began crying its quiet tears as its daughter got lost in the black.


I had trouble trying to figure out which emotion I would use for this, it was either Serene or Calm, but I already had something down for serene, so you guys got calm :)

R&R and maybe i'll update two chapters?
