A/N: PS - Pertaining to the last chapter, Derec just...died because he wa overall heartbroken when Jess died. Yeeeaaahh.

PS- I'm turning this chapter into the LAST chapter. Sorry!

So sorry-it's kinda lame, right?

(Achyls' POV)

Olympus. One word to describe it, and that's the only word that should be used. We went up to the 600th floor of the Empire State Building (via teleportation, by Hades) and then exited. Our clothing was tattered, Logan's arm still blood-covered. Our faces were nasty, and nothing was getting any better. As we approached the throne room, Aphrodite motioned us over before we entered the coliseum-sized room.

She grimaced at us.

"I will help" she announced brightly. She concentrated on us, then snapped her fingers. Bam, we all were in great clothing, and all of us had freshly-washed hair and clean skin. Logan was wearing a proper bandage, as opposed to Brian's bandana. He wore a T-shirt with a plaid thing over it, and black skinny jeans. Brian wore a brown pair of shorts and a T-Shirt reading "Strategy" with some pictures of deadly weapons. Polly was wearing a cute little polka dotted dress and brand-new white sandals. And me? Well, I was wearing mortal clothes...cute mortal clothes. I'm talking a tank top and off-the-shoulder tee and violet stone jewlery. And...to my sheer surprise, a black skirt reaching good four inches above my knee and a pair of high-laced black converse. We all tugged at our new duds and then continued on to the throne room. Apollo arched an eyebrow at me, and Aphrodite bit her lip and smiled. But other than that...there were unreadable emotions flickering around the room. Zeus sat, twenty feet tall, on his throne. He shifted, and then spoke.

"Brian." he said, and Athena rose. She continued his statement.

"You are my son. And therefore, you will train to the best of your abilities with your half-sister, Annabeth." She sat down. Brian was shaking, and I didn't understand why. Maybe it's because I was a goddess myself, and he...wasn't.

Zeus spoke.

"Polly." Ares rose and said:

"Polly. Go to Camp Half-Blood." he said nothing more, but sat down and rested his head in his hands. He was broken, most likely, by the death of Jess.

Polly's smile faded as she stepped backwards.

"Achyls. Despite everything, we have allowed you to live on Olympus...as a minor goddess, with no throne." Zeus cleared his throat and continued.

"And, you may bring Logan with you." I swallowed. My choice was made up.

"Lord Zeus, may I request one thing from you?" He looked uneasy, but nodded.

"I want to become...mortal. Drop my powers, and my immortality." Hades stood.

"Daughter, consider well..." he warned.

"I will not drop my parents, but just my powers." I confirmed. Zeus scanned the room.

"And no one objects to this...?" No one did. Shimmering light encircled me, and all of the sudden I was tired, and hungry, and...happier. I ran over to Logan and hugged him.

"I love you." he whispered in my ear. I smiled. This was it.
