This is the third chapter! Obviously...sorry for taking long again! I probably started this a few days ago, and now I'm making a future prediction that this is going to take me a little while! I'll get to the reviews after this chapter! Anyways, hope you enjoy!
(Percy POV)
Luke looked shocked slightly at my wish to let the titans free. Why were they surprised? It wasn't fair to the titans who did nothing wrong to stay in containment for nothing. I looked up to the gods with a steely glare, almost daring them to say anything about it. Then I continued once everyone calmed down.
"Secondly I want all of the demigods that any god has….sired to be claimed before they turned thirteen or as soon as possible after they reach camp." After this declaration a plethora of cheers assaulted my ears and I gave out a small smile towards the demigods before turning back to the gods.
"This wish is to keep this from ever happening again. The demigods only turned tra- against the gods because they didn't feel wanted, appreciated, or loved. Like an outcast from their own mothers or fathers. And some people were not lucky enough to get parents patient and nice enough to deal with us demigods." At this, I snuck a glace at Luke and Hermes, who both flinched. A couple other demigods in the crowd also flinched, including the traitors.
"Are you suggesting that we are the cause of this war Jackson?" Ares started before my father glared at him, immediately quieting the war god. And then I shrugged.
"It's more of a thing of we all share the blame. For me. There are deaths that I wish I could have changed or avoided. That I feel that are my fault. Or...some that are completely my fault. To name a couple. Charles Beckendorf-" The Hephaestus campers and god flinched. Good. They care. "Silena Beauregard." Aphrodite and her kids looked down in sadness. Even Drew looked sad.
I took a breath. "Lee Fletcher. Michael Yew." Apollo and his children's smiles dampened.
"Bianca Di' Angelo. Zoe Nightshade." Artemis, her hunters, and I all closed our eyes for a moment in remembrance. I didn't know either of them long, but they affected me more than I ever hope to let show. I remembered all of the other names, and I took a deep breath before going onto my next wish.
Not that I knew it, but Nico was staring at me as I spoke, trying to figure out which section of blame I put myself in for the death of his sister.
"I want for the pact of the Big Three to be broken. Obviously it didn't work anyways, and it helps from any of us being hunted down from the other two of the Big Three in the future." I glare at them and say "And no offence to both of you, but Hades obviously has the most self-control of you three."
There was a long silence. Like everyone was confused and trying to figure out what I said to arguably the most powerful gods in this room, before erupting into laughter. Even Hera was laughing! I guess it was because a mere demigod had shown that his brother was...well, had less sexual need.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to say this as well, but I want there to be cabins for Hestia, Hades, and minor gods and goddesses. No more bunching up in the Hermes cabin." More cheers were heard from all the demigods now, even the traitors.
I let out a weak chuckle before waiting for everyone to quiet down so I could make my last wish. And oh boy was this going to be annoying. Everyone in the room slowly quieted down as I stated,
"I'll make this the last wish. Short and simple. I want for the traitor demigods to be granted amnesty for their actions against the Olympians. They had been coerced into being on Kronos's side with lies and smooth talking. Hell, Luke only wanted to continue with their plan if it meant for all the demigods being spared. He wanted a better life for us. And now I want to make that dream become a reality."
Once again, there was silence in the throne room. Man this was getting annoying. So I quickly filled the silence,
"Thank you Lord Zeus. As promised on the Styx, I will be waiting for the summons back up to Olympus to see the peaceful titans freed. If not in the next week, I'll uh...I guess I'll come back up and ask what's up." I said, as everyone started looking at me like I was a different person at the start of my little speech.
Then I sat down. Zeus shook himself seemingly back awake and I blanked out again as the Lord of the Skies made a speech most people would fall asleep too. Eventually, a party started and all of the traitor demigods were let out their shackles and chains. A couple came over to me and tried to talk to me, but I was too tired for it and just waved them off with a smile. Then I yawned and stalked out of the throne room, set to getting to my cabin and taking a really deserved sleep. Then I blinked and remembered something, running back into the throne room and seeking out my dad.
"Oh gods, Mom is gonna kill me! Where's Dad?!" I had just remembered that I had promised my mom to get the top of the Empire State Building to glow blue, and she was probably having a heart attack while I was thinking of going to sleep in my cabin!
After a little while of panicking I finally found my dad and told him what was going on. He quickly agreed to making it blue after I explained what was going on and the top of one of the largest buildings in the world started glowing blue. I sighed out in relief before laughing as I thought about what the mortals thought was going on. Then I gave my Dad a brief hug, which brightened up his face immediately before he tried talking to me about feelings but I shook my head and asked him to talk later about it. He hesitantly agreed before hugging me tightly once more and letting me go.
I waved some more people and gods away as I stepped out of the elevator and took a hippocampi back to camp. From there I walked straight to my cabin, ignoring a huge green light coming from the Big House and flopping face first onto my bed, falling asleep immediately.
(Annabeth POV)
Hi, I'm Annabeth Chase. Newly appointed Architect of Olympus, and also Hero of Olympus. I'll admit to being a bit jealous of Percy being the Savior of Olympus and all, but I'm more happy of the fact that he didn't die, and saved Luke in the process! Speaking of the Seaweed Brain, where is he? I just saw him a few minutes ago where he was sitting...by himself. Why wasn't anyone there with him?
Then randomly Thalia walked up to me and Luke (Who was tired but was still slightly awake due to all the chaos going around) and wrapped me in a hug, and leaving a guilty looking Luke to the side.
"Hey Annie! You know where Kelp-Head is? He didn't look to good when I talked to him earlier." She asked.
"First, you know not to call me Annie, Thalia. And second...no I don't. I haven't even talked to him since the battle was over. Why didn't he come and talk to me!" I said, slightly angry now that I remembered he hasn't talked to me. What was up with him?
"You...do know he likes you right? Watching you two cuddle together must have been torture for him." Thalia said bluntly, her style shining through once more. Luke's eyes widened exponentially like he had finally gotten an answer to a question he had for a while. My eyes widened as well, but in disbelief rather than like Luke's. Percy liked me? But then...when I said I liked Luke...Oh gods.
"Oh gods! I need to talk to him then." I almost shouted, drawing some eyes into our little group. Thalia shushed me and said
"I don't think that's the best idea Annabeth. He looked tired and hurt. Let him calm down for a little while, and don't start any fights between you two. He could lose control of his emotions and powers. And well, we both know how badly that can go." Thalia stated. I nodded but grit my teeth. I could fix this with him! I have to find a way to fix this and not get him to be angry, if he was angry. He did let all the traitor demigods get amnesty after all, so I can't be sure if he's angry or not.
Luke started to say something, but Thalia shot him a glare that shut him up immediately. I bristled slightly at my sister in all but blood getting angry at my now boyfriend. I shivered slightly in happiness as I remembered that Luke was my boyfriend now, but then I remembered Percy, my friend for 4 straight years, the one who I spent so much time with and kissed under Mt. St Helens. I felt bad for almost ignoring him, but I was happy with my new boyfriend, and I wasn't going to let that Seaweed Brain get in my way.
"Fine. I'll let him be for a little while, but eventually I'm going to see him and talk to him, no matter what was wrong." I stubbornly insisted. Even if he did like me, that wouldn't change anything! I'm still his friend...right?
(Thalia POV)
I couldn't tell what was going on. First, my dumb cousin seems to really like my sister in all but blood, then she seems to get together with a former(?) traitor and that Kelp Head stopped talking to her at all. I could tell he left something out in the story he gave to me before, but I couldn't fill in the blanks.
I then smacked my own forehead at the simple conclusion. The hurt look on Percy's face, paired with the fact that Annabeth had kissed Luke like ten times in the past minute, and Percy making those wishes...Oh my gods. Annabeth broke Percy's heart. It was so obvious that they liked each other for the last four years, but then suddenly, as soon as she could, she switched back to Luke.
This was not going to be good for either party. Annabeth was too stubborn to ever admit to any mistakes, and my cousin was way too kind-hearted to try and do anything about it. As long as Annabeth was happy, he was fine with it. Though I know him enough to tell that it would be tearing him apart inside. He would not be happy at all, but he wouldn't show it.
What had Annabeth done to the new Savior of Olympus?
Thanks for reading this third chapter! I've already started on the fourth chapter now and it'll probably be out in around a day or two! Possibly three! I'll answer reviews down here obviously! Hope you Enjoyed reading it!
MKDemiGodzilla-Warrior: Well...not exactly. It could happen, but for now, I'm not planning on putting Percy with anyone for the time being! And for the traitor's punishments...well, it won't be TOO bad for them. Depends on who they get. But I can't say anymore! Spoilers!
