Sounds of a battle could be heard from the throne room of Olympus, but there was no one around to hear it. Olympus was completely deserted except for four demigods, a Titan, and a satyr going toe to toe in a heated battle in the middle of the throne room. There was Percy Jackson, his brother Theseus Maylee, Annabeth Chase, Grover the saytr, Ethan Nakamura, and Kronos.
Kronos and Percy Jackson swords clashed together as sparks flew. Kronos kicked Percy in the chest and sent him flying across the room. His brother, Theseus, came up after him and slashed Kronos breast plate, leaving a small gash. Theseus was not as great with the sword as Percy was because for some odd reason he excelled in archery. Sadly long range combat was no good and even though he had a pistol on his hip I woulnt penetrate the hard skin of the Titan. They went at it for a little until Kronos froze Theseus in time and punched him in the face so hard that if it wasn't for the curse of Achilles his nose would have shattered.
Theseus flew into a marble throne, cracking it, and dropped to the floor unconcious. By then Kronos attacked Percy with furious slashes and hacks that the son of the sea god just barely kept up with. Kronos backed Percy against Hephastus's throne and Percy jumped on top of it. "Defense mode" it said, and Percy had just enough time to jump off and roll behind Kronos before the throne shot electricity right into the Titans face. "ARH!" He yelled befor dropping to one knee. Annabeth saw this as an opening and kicked Ethan away before "Percy running to the downed Titan. "Luke I know your in there. You have to fight him. Please!" She pleaded. Kronos just flicked his hand and sent Annabeth back into her mothers throne with a loud CRACK, followed by her hitting the floor with A thud and a cry of pain.
Percy began seeing red and the throne room began to shake. A sea green aura begin to surround him as he let out a frightening war cry. He charged the Titan with amazing speed and ferocity. The Titan tried to defend himself but the constant shaking and heavy winds made it hard to keep balance. Ethan stumbled and fell into the hearth and screamed as his skin began to burn away. Grover and Theseus, who finally woke up, made there way over to Annabeth as Percy disarmed Kronos and knocked him to the ground. "Luke, do you see what you have done!" yelled Percy as he pointed to Annabeth. Kronos looked over and when he saw the daughter of Athena, his eyes flickered from gold to blue. The eye color of luke. He turned to Percy and there was fear in those eyes. "Percy," he said "Kronos is ready to take his full form, we have to stop him."
Luke slowly stumbled to his feet and tried to grab Annabeths knife that she had dropped. Percy beat him to it and and kicked Luke onto his back. Anger flashed in Luke's eyes before it went away. "Percy, you have to give me the knife. Only I can stop Kronos. I know where the spot is. Please trust me." Percy looked over to his friends and brother to see Theseus and Grover holding a limp Annabeth. They both gave him a quick nod and Percy reluctantly handed over the knife. Luke undid a strap by his left armpit and slammed the knife into some exposed skin. He howled in pain and dropped the knife as his began gasping like he couldnt get enough air. There was a bright flash of light the everyone averted their eyes from and a painful scream.
When it was over all was left was the dead andsmoking body of Luke Castellan. His eyes were open, those sky blue eyes, yet they saw nothing. Percy quickly ran over to where Theseus and Grover were sitting and kneeled down next to Annabeth. She was pale and had sweat pouring down her face even though she was shivering. They all had tears in their eyes as they stared at the daughter of Athena. "She has a broken back." whispered Theseus to Percy. "Did we win?" Asked Annabeth. "Yeah, we won all thanks to you Annabeth." Said Percy, his voice cracked a bit. "That's good, that's..." And then she died. All three boys lost it after that. They started bawling and holding each other As they atempted to stop crying.
The throne room doors burst open as the gods rushed in looking for a fight. What they found was a very trashed throne room and there males that couldn't pull themselves together. "What happened here, where's kronos." boomed Zues. "he's gone, we defeated him." Said Percy, regaining some of his composure, in his arms he held Annabeth. We need two shrouds for a daughter of Athena and a son of Hermes. The gods quickly conjured up the shrouds and placed both of the bodies in them. Athena and Hermes sat in their thrones with looks of distraught on their faces.w
Theseus, Grover, and I sat om the floor as the gods fixed the throne room. Percy looked over to his brother and held out a fist. Theseus looked at it then knuckled bumped him. "Good job out there today, you held your own against a Titan with a sword none the less." Complimented Percy. Theseus chuckled" Those lessons you've been giving me have come in handy. Even though I still prefer to use my bow and this." He replied, plopping his gun on the table. they both shared a quick laugh as Percy looked over his younger brother for any signs that he might be hurt. Theseus was a year younger than Percy. He was 15 years old, had light brown skin with brown eyes that had a ring of sea green around the iris. He had short black hair and wore a white tshirt with white baggy jogging pants. he had removed his armor a while ago just as Percy had.
Percy once asked him why he always wore those type of clothes and his reply was that if he was going to die he might as well die comfortable. Zues slammed his master bolt down on the floor and Percy's attention was soon on him, just like everyone else's. when all eyes where on him he began. "thank you, first I want to start with um thanking... uh.. My brother for... um... Helping us take down Typhon which whom would have been, uh, imossible for us to defeat had it not been for him." He said so quickly everyone almost didn't hear him. Poseidon just burst out laughing before clapping Zues on the back And saying "your very welcome brother." Everyone else started laughing at Zues discomfort Before the ceremony began again.
It went off without a hitch and was kind of enjoyable. Grover was made god of the wild, Tyson was made general of the cyclops army, they got Thalia from under the statue of Hera and she was given praise form Artemis. when it was Percy and Theseus turn we were offered to be gods which they both kindly turned down. Instead of being god the made the Olympians swear that they would pay more attention to their children and start claiming them before the age 13. Also they wanted all the minor gods to have thones and cabins built. After everyone agreed they began to celebrate.
Percy and Theseus were in no mood for partying so the left olympus and returned to camp half-blood for some rest. It was empty and quiet except for the monsters in the woods. Both boys made their way into Poseidon's cabin and flopped onto their beds. As tired as they were they couldn't sleep. Percy's mind was on Annabeth. He wanted to ask her out often the war. He wanted them to live a long and happy life together. Theseus was worried about his brother. He knew Percy had a thing for Annabeth and felt sorry for him. Annabeth was like and older sister to Theseus. When she and Percy hung out she would suggest that he should come along. no she was dead and both boys were extremely sad and heart broken.
Finally Percy sat up and said "I can't stay here. It has top many memories of all the friends we've lost in this war. Too many memories of... of Annabeth." Theseus silently nodded before getting out of bed. "Then let's go somewhere, somewhere were the gods won't find use. When we could hang out and forget abou this blasted war. Hopefully live normal."
"You know good and well that we could never live normal." Replied Percy, but Theseus was up and already packing. He grabbed two quivers full of arrows, a bow, his gun with some ammunition. Also a bag with food, money, drachmas, and extra clothes. Percy rolled his eyes and grabbed similar things, minus the arrows and gun. When everything was packed they left a note to Chiron and walked out of camp.
"So where to now" asked Theseus. Percy thought for a moment before a place popped into his mind. "I know exactly where to go" he said and quickly took off in that direction With Theseus close behind.
LINE BREAK
Percy and Theseus were sitting at Montauk beach in front of the cabin with a fire going. That sat in the sand and looked at the stars that shined brightly in the night sky. Theseus was munching on a granola bar as Percy popped open a bag of chips. They didn't notice the fire starting to get bigger until it exploded causing them to jump up and grabbed their weapons.
But there was no need because when the fire died there was Hestia, goddess of the hearth and home, standing there with a warm smile. The two sons of Poseidon quickly bowed. "There is no need for that heroes of Olympus. I am merely here for a proposition." The boys glanced at each other with confused looks. Hestia continued to smile and said "you have recently lost someone close to your heart and wish to get away from the sorrow and pain, am I correct?" percy and Theseus nodded with sadness in their eyes. "Well in that case I want you two to become my champions"
to say they were shocked was in understatement. "What do you mean lady Hestia." Asked Percy. "I want you two to become my champions, go around saving demigods and children who are in need of help.
"I Except" said Theseus. Percy looked at his younger brother before slowly nodding. "I except also" he said. Hestia beamed at the two boy before gently touching their shoulders. They both glowed a orange-red color befor it quickly died. the boys felt the power rushing through their bodies. Percy's eyes stayed a sea blue with a ring of red around the irises that looked like fire. It was mesmerizing as it looked like fire and water had clashed together. Theseus eyes went from brown to a fire red with spcake of brown and blue in them. The glowed a little and looked like head lights of a car. "What did you do" asked Theseus. "I gave you the power of the hearth and home of course." said Hestia.
"What type of power?" Questioned Percy. "You now have the power over fire, as well as the power to heal your wounds as well as others. If your clap your hands you can make any home cooked meal that you will like. And you can teleport." The boys mouths hung open in amazement.
Then they bowed before looked at the goddess. "Thank you lady Hestia" they said "Now" she said "I have my first mission for the two of you."
