Theseus Jackson: Son of Neptune: Το τελευταίο του Ολύμπου (the last Olympian)
Previously
"Jackson! What the hell are you doing here?! I could have you executed!" That prick Octavian yells
"I would like to see you try"
Now
I don my signature smirk and back flip into the arena and the First Cohort turns their weapons on me as soon as i land. And the others pull back into stands at their centurions command i pull out 'Moon Razor' and pull my shield charm off my necklace to activate it. I hear Octavian's squeaky voice yell out "Attack!" As soon as he finishes the First Cohort charges all at once little do they know they just made beating them easier. I spin into their ranks busting the flat of my blade into helmets and crashing my shield into their shield arms breaking them but the Tartarean Steel protects me. I sweep their legs out from under them and kick their skulls to knock them out. Once the last member falls i turn my glare to Octavian, only to find him shaking in his boots and i think he pissed his Augurian toga. I smirk and teleport back up to the Emperors Box or Observation Deck and he drives his Imperial Gold Gladius through my abdomen. I know of its dissolving properties from Tartarus but Chaos' blessing allows me to heal extremely fast so when I pull the blade out and the wound closes like Wolverine from the X-men he freaks out and i decide to scare him some more
"Alright Augur listen and listen well because i am only going to say this once. You have used two i repeat two of your three strikes the next time you do this" I lean forward and whisper this in his ear "I will rip your pathetic heart out of your chest but you will live with the agony of never being able to be satisfied. No drink able to satisfy your thirst. No food able to satisfy your hunger. No woman able to satisfy your lust. Nothing able to end your misery except me crushing your heart. Now. Am. I. Clear?" I growl out in a hiss/ growl so evil i sound like one of the Werewolves i killed yesterday i pull back and he is looking every where but my eyes and mumbling something i can't hear "look at me." I spit out he does though he looks like he is about to have a heart attack. "Now. Am. I. Clear? And speak up you worthless slime."
"Y-yes s-sir c-crystal clear." He stammers out the fear evident in his pale blue eyes but i also get the feeling that the last time he does this he will end up on a funeral pyre

"Theseus i need you in the void. You will be here a while." I hear End say in my head
"Okay. I will be there as soon as possible." I say and run tell Chiron that i have to go and that I will be gone a few months i then teleport to Ends location... Heaven. In the court yard of his palace he stands with five hooded figures behind him. Four of which wore white robes with either red or blue accents and one wore a blue cloak with black accents
"Ah Theseus your here!" End says in his usual fairly cheery tone "Here let me introduce you to some of my friends. This is Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad." He says as a Arabic man on ride end of the row removes his hood "Ezio Auditore Da Firenze il mentore de Assassini." And Italian man next to Altaïr removes his hood as well
"ciao Mr. Auditore. è un onore di incontrare il maestro degli assassini." I say in his native tongue
"per favore, l'onore è mio fine parla molto bene di te." He replies almost giddily as he speaks the language of his birth as if he is proud to finally be able to speak it then End introduces the next person
"Edward Kenway Captain of The Jackdawe." A blonde man with a stern look that is developed from looking through a spyglass for too long removes his hood the only unpeaked hood of the group actually and offers a slight smile "Connor Kenway or Ratohnhaké:ton soldier of the American Revolution." A man in basically a white and blue version of my black and red robes removes his hood to reveal a Native American, Iroquois from what I can tell. "And last but not least Arno Dorian Assassin of the French Revolution." And in that moment i realize why I am here... To be trained as an assassin
"End. Did you bring me here to be trained?" I ask with my cerulean blue eyes meeting his blood red
"Yes because it important for you to have these skills and weapons if you want to be able to win the wars in your future."
"Bene."
Line break (sorry i don't really know how to write the training to become an Assassini if you want to know play AC II)
"Altaïr just do it quickly."
"But Theseus this going to hurt."
"Just do it i can handle it." He thrusted at first the pain was almost unbearable but then my natural healing sealed the wound closing the nub of my ring finger off from the elements it was taken off at the first knuckle so there was just enough room for a wedding ring in the future i strapped the gauntlet to my forearm Ezio had made the one on my right arm but Altaïr's design required my finger for my left just like his did i put the activation ring on my middle finger like Altaïr instructed and secured the bracer to my arm then flipped my wrist back the blade flying out and replacing my finger in appearance. I retracted the Chaotic Silver blade to look at my mentors for the past few months i had learned many things about them: Altaïr was a bit of a loner spent all his time meditating when not training, Ezio while stoic most of the time i could relate with because of my Italian lineage on my mothers side, Edward grandson of Hermes I learned is a major prankster, Connor and I bound over Archery and our American Heritage, Arno I learned is more playful than most Assassini and taught me the finer points of life such as poker, blending in more than just the crowd, and his wife Elise helped me with my cooking of French cuisine. But now I was an Assassin and it was time for me to leave and head back to camp giving each of my brothers firm handshake Altaïr surprised me with a gift as he seemed the least sentimental of any of them when I opened it there in my hand was a Chaotic Silver version of the famous Sword of Altaïr that Ezio, Shay, and Altaïr himself had used in war and peace but was buried with Shay "Thank you Altaïr it is an honor to carry this blade."
"Think nothing of it my friend may it serve you well." After I said good bye to all of them right before i left I said
"Safety and Peace be upon you brothers." I re-appeared in my cabin and walked out the training arena where Clarisse and her siblings were training so i decided to practice a few assassination techniques but before I could start i am tackled to the ground by an over excited Daughter of Ares on instinct i roll us so i am on top with my blade out on my left hand which I soon retract when I realize who it was i help her up but she grabs my left hand examines it for a second and then screams when she realizes that my finger is actually missing and asks who did it threatening gruesome death to who ever hurt me "Clarisse calm down." She just narrows her eyes at me "if you are going to try to kill anyone who has ever hurt me you will have more blood on your hands than your father. To many Titans, rogue gods and mortals have Hurt me in one way or another to count much less for you to kill."

I was riding one of the Pegasi from camp Guido his name is to the beach where Percy and Rachel are on a date Beckendorf was riding Porkpie on my right and Blackjack was on my left. I could see where he was going to land "Blackjack! Don't dent the car!" I yell
'Alright boss whatever you say.' He swerves to the side and lands next to the car as do I tap on the window breaking up Percy's little moment with RED he opens it
"Percy it's time. I'm sorry for stealing your date little RED." Both blush after i say that and Percy gets out and on Blackjack's back i ride mine down to my Mom and Paul "Mom im sorry but its time for me and Percy to go."
"Alright be safe."
"I'll try. Hyah!" I my Pegasus takes off towards the 'Princess Andromeda' about 30 m out i tell him to let me go and head back to camp
"But milord-"
"Go. I'll be fine." He nods and i jump off he turns around and leaves as soon as my feet touch the water it solidifies enough i can walk and i run at full speed towards the boat with the winds picking up i make a ramp up to the boat and take a running leap onto the top deck i see Percy run up on the deck below me towards the pool ahead of me i run along as well when I get there Percy gets there as well but i stay on the deck above i see the Luke boy walk out of the shadows but his aura feels different than before in the arena the only other times i have felt this type of aura is when I was with Chronos and when Kronos was overseeing my torture once. I see Percy's blade bounce off of Luke's skin and He swings Backbiter "No!" I yell and jump in front of Kronos's blade taking it fully in my abdomen i can feel it pulling at my soul but i pull it out when they pull Beckendorf up here i snap my fingers and freeze time for all but me and him i walk over to him "Alright Beck i need to know did you plant the bombs?"
"Yeah what's going on here? Why are your eyes gold?!"
"Because I can control time i need you to listen as soon as those bombs go off i need you to pull this pendant and tell the girls that i sent you they will tell you the plan from there."
"Okay. But Theseus tell Silena that i love her. And give her this it is a promise ring."
"Gladly my friend but she will be joining you soon enough." I say and walk back where I was and release the hold on time they pour out Beck's backpack that is filled with is that peaches? 3…2…1…now i feel the heat before i see the fire. i see Beck pull the amulet so he goes to Zoë's camp site i pull Percy off the side of the boat
"No Beckendorf he'll die."
"I'm sorry Percy." I then teleport us to Atlantis where Percy passes out "You and you take him to my quarters. Alert me when he wakes up unless i am in battle. Then you will tell my father"
"Yes your majesty." I turn towards the gates and see my father leading a retreat because he is injured
"Regroup! Everyone i will not let this city fall! Regroup! Father go to the war room i will lead us in battle come back when your healed Percy will wake soon." I say and go to the troops i activate my armor with my Trident out the royal symbol of Atlantis is recognized as we charge i block swords and spears gutting the monsters as i go using the blades and butt of my Trident i see Oceanus coming towards me the Sharkmen moving out of the way as he comes
"Ah! Theseus it will be fun to kill you before your father and brother."
"I would like to see you try!" He trusts his blade at my chest and even though my armor is unbreakable i am not invulnerable if i act like i am i will get cocky and get my self killed as we exchange blows i see he is using his powers to slow me down i call several mermen to my aid and they shoot arrows of the sea and other ranged weapons into kinks in his armor but i keep fighting but when i activate the visor i see the blue green color of his aura that is the sea i deactivate my armor entirely and speak the language of Tartarus "djem ornor nyxia." (I call on the power of night.) the darkness of the night sky above shooting down to aid me i redirect the darkness to right behind Oceanus where it drives itself through his chest and he falls and disintegrates into golden dust after he has died i turn and destroy what is left of the army with the mermen after the last Sharkman has fallen since the mermen learned Latin long ago in service of 'him' i yell out "Victoria!" It is echoed back "Victoria!" Again it echoes "Victoria!" For the last time i am raised on a shield and taken to the war room where my Father and family are and see my step mother glaring at Percy "Mother, Father, Brothers!" I say and get their attention "We are victorious over the Titanic aquatic forces Oceanus is no more! And Percy it is time to go back to camp father will you please?"
"Of course thank you my son for your assistance." He says and teleports us away
"Perce go tell Chiron what happened i will tell 'Lena."
"Okay Theseus." He says and we both go our separate ways i to the Aphrodite cabin and Percy to the big house when i knock on the door Drew answers
"Well hello sexy finally here to take me up on my offer?" She had been propositioning me for months obviously i turned her down multiple times
"No i need to talk to Silena now get her out here or i will come in and bring her out here." My tone makes her pale as she backs up and into the cabin to get her out here
"Hey Theseus is something wrong?"
"'Lena let's take a walk." We walk out towards the strawberry fields "look 'Lena i hate being the bearer of bad news but, um, can i see your anklet please?"
"My anklet? Why?"
"Humor me." She reaches down and hands it to me there is one charm that stands out a silver scythe which i pull of and hand the rest back to her "okay Lena I knew that Luke was blackmailing you into spying on us."
"Oh is that your bad news because if so i need to go see Charlie."
"No thats not it the bad news is Beck's dead."
"What?"
"He set the bombs but couldn't get off the boat before detonation but he wanted you to know that he loved you."
"How do you know?"
"Because he knew that like all other bombing missions like this there was a chance we would not come back so he asked me to pass along the message and this." I say and pull the ring with a silver band and a dove made of a blood diamond out of my pocket "He said that he made this as a symbol of his love to be a promise ring."
"Oh my gods thank you Theseus will you make his shroud?" She says with tears in her eyes
"Of course Silena i will have it in the morning but if you will excuse me i need to leave Kronos a message." I say shaking the charm in my hand she nods and walks off as soon as she is out of earshot "Alright Kronos i know you can hear me your getting sloppy leaving the charm on your necklace like that. Unless you wanted me to know what you were doing? Well it worked and by the way Oceanus in fallen." I finish and crush the charm in my fist and go to my cabin and hear this
"Nico i don't think this is a good idea I mean only Achilles ever survived that." I hear Percy say Nico must have suggested the Styx
"Percy it is the only way and Luke did it as well." Nico replies
"Perce it is the only way. But you need your mothers blessing which means you need to see Mom."
"Why aren't you scared for me i mean Hades and i don't get on well."
"Well if you want I can take you via the alternative route."
"What alternative route?" They both ask
"Tartarus the Styx flows there to in fact i might be able to get her to give you here blessing not the curse."
"There's a difference?"
"Yeah but the blessing is more dangerous the curse is the better option honestly. But you need Mom's 'okay' to do it without dying. And of course the anchor to the mortal world."
"Anchor?"
"Something to keep you from being disintegrated."
"Oh okay then."
"Well if y'all are going to the underworld then i am going to bed." I say and walk into my cabin i lay down on my bed and slip i to the realm of Hypnos

When I woke up my internal clock said it was 03:30 hours so i got up and went to the arena and heard a heated conversation going on i look up at the moon and decide to bother Di a little i teleport up there and see she is staring blankly out past her reindeer her black locks flowing in the wind i walk up "hey Di." I say which startles her
"Ah! Oh Theseus it's you."
"You sound almost disappointed Di. What's wrong? Upset you can't help Arty fight the giant from hell?"
"Yes." She mumbles
"How much do you remember from the first time Arty met me?"
"Enough why?" I shoot out my wings
"Do you still like my wings?"I say and push one towards her
Giggling she says "yes they are still soft."
"Well it's only been a year for me remember?"
"Yeah." We just sit there me keeping her company as Arty is busy she normally comes up here twice a week but is busy with Typhon around 08:00 i say
"Well Di i have to go sorry but i have a war to fight." I say and teleport back to camp to see Percy and Nico get back the former glaring at the latter "What happened?"
"Nico lead me into a trap."
"Nico what did your father do?" I ask
"Captured Percy and put him in a cage." He replies
"Humph idiot. Let me guess he regrets that?"
"Oh big time."
"Alright Percy go get some rest we head to Olympus in two days time."
"Okay Theseus." He walks away "Nico you to you need your sleep."
"Sure Theseus." I go to the dining hall and summon some silk of various colors dark grey light gray black and red i make the base of the banner black and then build the hammer and flames up around it and place it on the table for Hephaestus cabin and walk away towards the cabins and see Clarisse and one of the Apollo campers arguing
"Is this about that chariot again?" I say and both look guilty "okay how does this sound since Ares cabin lead the raid and Apollo cabin secured the chariot you can share it each getting it when it is needed but no arguing over whose turn it was because that is childish capiche?"
"Yes Theseus."
"Okay I have to go." I say and walk into the arena
Line break
I am walking around camp when I hear Nyx's voice in my head
'Theseus you are needed in the throne room.'
'Fine' i teleport to the Primordial throne room and bow to my patrons "my Patrons you needed me?" Chaos responds
"Yes Theseus we decided that you must be made an archangel."
"Okay." They stand and chant in a language i do not understand
"Alright Theseus you are now an archangel but the only ways for it to be activated are a temporary activation with a poem that you create or a full activation that you can control when it is visible once you have met the requirements."
"Alright let me think here. Ah!
Archangel, Dark angel fire in the trees.
Archangel, Dark angel blood in the breeze.
Archangel, Dark angel bring my enemies to their knees." As soon as i finish my wings tear through my back and i feel absolute control over my domains as the King of Monsters, King of Tartarus, King of Night, Lord of Light. And those are just the ones I know the name for
"Dear Chaos!" Eros yells
"What?! Is something wrong?"
"Not quite." He says and summons a mirror my cloak has disappeared and so has my shirt i am more tan and muscular and a scar i got as a child that had long since faded has reappeared it cuts across my lips from just below the right side of my nose to the left side of my chin i got it training with Triton his trident got in a lucky strike and my eyes were no longer their usual ocean blue but were now blood red also my wings were different they had a more purple undertone and claws at the top of the peak as well as a large black halo that floated above my head
"Dear Chaos indeed. What do you think Nyx dear? Like what you see?" Erebus smirks as he knows she does
"U-um-uh well um maybe?" I just laugh
"Alright then i have to go if you will excuse me i have war to win." I retract my wings and deactivate the Archangel blessing so i can teleport to camp without suspicion i see the cabins loading into the vans i get in one with mostly gear so it is just one of the Hermes cabin as the driver Travis maybe? We get to town and see all are asleep just as Percy said Grover reported "Okay Travis Connor whichever you are take me to the Empire State then send the other cabin leaders up along with all of the Hephaestus cabin they need to build traps."
"Yes sir General."
"Don't call me that." I get out when we reach the Empire State Building and take the card and wait for the others as soon as they get here we walk to the elevator and go to Olympus we walk to the throne room and i pull over a table from the corner Annabeth lays her maps out on it i say "okay Hephaestus cabin i need you to build traps to go at all the bridges and tunnels except the Williamsburg Bridge i want 20 foot soldiers and 10 archers at each bridge and tunnel." Annabeth replies
"Well that's all fine and dandy but we are short on both one of the bridges or tunnels will be unguarded." I am about to reply when a new voice speaks up
"Actually Annie we are here to help." They all turn and see Thalia and the other hunters i just smile and draw circles on the map pointing out the places that need the heaviest defense i am on the Williamsburg bridge with just 10 swords/spear man and 5 archers other than my self Percy and Annabeth are with the hunters at the mid-town tunnel as i walk away leaving crew assignments i hear
"Um Theseus? Why do you only have ten soldiers and five archers with you?" Percy asks
"Because little brother i only need that fifteen not that more would not be appreciated but the others need more than i do so i will have to use water to help fight." And of course my little brother said something really smart like
"Oh. Okay."
"Also come here i have a gift for you." We walk to one of the pillars and i hand him the necklace from my pocket "This is a necklace that becomes armor it is impenetrable like your skin and will protect your mortal point."
"How do you know where my mortal point is?"
"Twin telepathy."
"Prove it where is my mortal point?"
"Small of your back." He was about to respond when we were alerted of Prometheus entering the city "lead him to Central Park we will talk at the east gate." I command my inner roman coming out but as this is a time of war no one really cares that i am being more cold and commanding than usual
Line break
Percy and me walk back in to the throne room and go sit by Hestia "Hey Aunt Hesty." I say and she gives me a strange look oh she must remember my wings and i haven't spoken to her about that since i got back "umm Percy can Hestia and i speak in private?"
"Sure Theseus." After he walks away i sit down and say
"Okay Hestia talk."
"How?"
"How? Well i am sure you remember i went to Tartarus."
"Yes we all thought you were dead."
"Well I escaped."
"How?"
"I had help. From the inside."
"Who?"
"The primordials. All of them."
"Chaos." She says shocked at that answer
"Yep her to but i cannot control when or where I time travel the river of time does it for me."
"So the river of time sent you to Delos all those years ago?"
"Yes and while i had no choice where and no one remembered me for all these years i do not regret my actions at all."
"Why not? I mean you put your father and uncle in the hospital for weeks after Artemis never knew you Leto and I forgot you."
"Yes because if you had remembered me it would have changed the past and you no why I can't allow that to happen."
"Yes I do whats that?"
"Pandoras Pithòs."
"Really?"
"Yeah and it is for you." I say and hand it to her she i about to reply when an Athena camper comes in
"Um Mr. Jackson?"
"Yes Malcolm?"
"Um we have counted but you are short one infantry and one archer."
"Ah okay I know people to help."
"Half bloods sir?"
"Yeah it's a long story. Hestia i hope you understand my reasons for why i did what I did. I will be back later." They nod and i teleport to Joshua's house to find him sitting on a couch with my niece Lauren she's Tritons daughter and the sister of the other half blood that i need making out "Wow Josh nice girl you got there whats her name?" I ask just to scare them
"Ah! Uncle Theseus?" Lauren asks
"Uncle?!" Josh freaks out
"Yes she is Tritons daughter but Josh i need your help get your bow and that quiver i gave you. And Lauren i need Caleb to come over here as well with his armor sword shield and spear."
'Okay.' They both say and Josh runs to his room as Lauren pulls out her phone while still blushing that her favorite uncle caught her making out with her boyfriend she walks out to speak to Caleb when he answers while greek is not the language i learned the most often being roman myself i still understand it after Amphitrite insisted on me being multi-lingual and most of the older hunters spoke greek so Zoë made me learn when I lived with them Josh came down in his lightweight archers cuirass with grieves and a bracer on his right arm that had a blade on the underside that is activated by flicking his wrist back and the blade and attached mini crossbow pops out. (A.N. think Arno's phantom blade AC unity.) he sits down fiddling with the ring on his necklace. He had always said it was his grandfather's and that it had always brought him good luck
"So Josh. How did you meet Lauren?" I ask mainly just to see his reaction which actually surprises me
"I met her at school a few years ago sir." He replies in an even tone instead of the shaky surprise i was expecting in fact there is even a steely determination in there i smirk
"Alright you have my blessing and even though you are my friend if you hurt her there will not be a body to find." He nods and activates his blade to check its sharpness and i see something that i haven't seen in a while
"Umm Theseus what does this symbol mean? It is on my blade and the tips of the bolts for the crossbow." It is a cross with a bar in the middle and one closer to the bottom in the exact opposite position as the original (A.N. symbol of the Gargoyle Order I, Frankenstein)
"I honestly don't know they were there when I found them." He was about to respond when Caleb and Lauren walk in Caleb in full hoplite armor with his helmet under his arm and his shield on his back i walk up to him and shake his hand "alright guys get ready to go Lauren pulls Josh to the side and says something to him i can't hear but he comes back with a smile and i bright red lipstick mark on his cheek at which both me and Caleb snicker
"Shut up now lets go." I put a hand on both of their shoulders and teleport us to the hotel at which we set up base the soldiers are carrying boxes and cots around to Will's specifications for the medic center i had Will, Michael, and Lee "raid" Apollo's temple/palace for medical gear i walk over to the command area where Percy and Annabeth are having some sort of argument over soldier placements on their joint tunnel
"What's wrong?" I ask
"Well Annabeth doesn't thi-" he's cut off by a screaming charging hunter Jasmine
"Theseus!" She yells and pulls me into a hug one of her nails caught my cheek and left a scratch but i don't care about that right now just the fact that if she doesn't let go now she will be letting go of a corpse
"Jaz. Jaz i- can't breathe." She immediately lets go an shyly smiles a light blush adorning her cheeks
"Sorry Theseus." She says apologetically
"It's fine Jaz. But go talk to your brother i need to make a call."
"Okay Theseus." I walk over to a grove on Olympus i found near Artemis's palace a few months ago with a pond
"Domine, ostende mihi faciem meam et munera mea suscipiet iris Diana in luna currum." (O, iris goddess of the rainbow accept my offering show me Diana in the moon chariot.)
"Theseus it's good to see you is something wrong?"
"Di everything's fine I was just calling to tell you that the war is about to start."
"Oh I know i am roman as are you but this war is all gods Greek or Roman so either come back with your shield or come back on it."
"You know i will old friend it is night Nyx will protect me and in the morning so will Hemera."
"Yes I know but I was just trying to be helpful. Even though i can't help myself." She mumbles the last part
"Diana i have to go but you are helpful as long as you drive the moon above me you help give me the strength to go on just you give your huntresses and Artemis healing her with moonlight." I say and she smiles and swipes through the message i head back to the hotel and see the campers all standing in front in a rough formation and Percy trying in vain to rally them i get to the front of the hotel and troops "Campers Attention." I yell in my commanding officer voice that i developed through being a centurion and senator as soon as the words leave my mouth all are heads up eyes on me "Forms ranks!" All get in standard formation "Alright I am not going to lie to you it's not looking good. Some of you might not come back today if you find your self in green fields do not fear for you are in Elysium and you are already dead!" Everyone laughs at my movie reference but there is a tension in it as they know i am telling the truth "All of you have heard of Leonidas's 300 who fought at the hot gates yes?" Everyone yells out a 'yes sir.' "Alright we are today's Three hundred we are the last line of defense between Kronos and Olympus if we fall today then the gods will fall tomorrow the world the day after that. Remember there are many forms of immortality there is the immortality of the gods where they die and reform and there is the immortality of the heroes who become legends for their deeds Theseus, Achilles, Odysseus, Jason, and Leonidas. These were men like you and I but they were not heroes. No heroes can be forgotten but legends, legends never die immortality is in your grasp you just need to reach out and take it!" I say get louder and louder until at the end i am yelling the last words as soon as i am done the whole group cheers out loud and breaks off into their areas but one of the Ares campers decides to ask me a question that if i did not have control over my emotions as well as i did would have cost him his life
"Sir why did you not use the greatest heroes of all time your speech?"
"Who did i miss? Perseus?"
"No Hercules." This pissed me off for what he did to my daughter
"Heracles was no hero. Heracles was a misogynistic, groveling, family murdering, woman raping asshole who stood behind who his Daddy was when the goings got tough. Heracles stood behind who his father was when he raped the fifty daughters of Thespius and a thirteen year old girl that was his servant left girl to die in the wilderness killed his first wife in well deserved madness cheated on his labors and murdered any who dared defy him and when found out for his crimes he threw around altitude but of lightning to assert his heritage. No Heracles was no hero. Heracles was pig who was not worthy of becoming beggars food much less a god." I finish my rant and walk away to leave him to shake in his boots along with every other camper within earshot but that all of them because i was yelling but the hunters especially Phoebe and Atlante were proud and glowing at what I said in defense of my daughter in that moment i am very glad that he is not in my battalion when we get ready to go i activate my armor but leave Pain and Misery on my necklace and grab a spear with a Celestial Bronze tip as we head toward our location a Hermes child runs up with a walkie-talkie and hands it to me we get to our location and setup our position when I feel a temporal force coming up behind me i pull out the radio " Percy can you hear me?"
"Yeah but but I have bad news Kronos is over here." He replies
"Well shit then. I have someone i never wanted to see again." I say calmly though inwardly i am slightly freaking out
"Who?" He asks
"James Tiberius Squire. The man you made my life in hell, Hell."
"Oh okay then I will let you get to your battle." I put the radio down and draw Blood Moon and walk forward to meet James in the middle of the bridge
"Leave now Titan-spawn you have no chance of surviving."
"Oh I think I do boy. No matter who you think you are, you are still that scared little boy i tortured I Tartarus."
"No I am Theseus Romulus Jackson Master Assassin slayer of Templars, Titans, and gods alike." I say and he just storms off I walk back to my side and pull a throwing knife "tempus fugit." And add the powers of time to the knife an throw it like Altaïr taught me and it hits James's lieutenant in the throat. His blood spurts out and colors James' face crimson James then turns and looks me in the eye the blood on his face an all too familiar sight in my eyes at slight hand signal all his forces charge " James! If you want this city you have to go through me! All of me." I then summon aquatic soldiers identical to myself in armament and skill that go from one side of the bridge to the other three layers thick as well as some archers behind them all of the melee have different classes ranger: uses dual knives, heavy: sword shield full battle armor, assassin: hidden blades, light sword, and tomahawk, reapers: scythes, and hoplite: standard Atlantans gear of armor and trident as i charged forward i sent a message to my brothers " Brothers i need your help." Then five dark flashes in front of me that become my brothers in arms dressed in full battle armor and the six of us charge forward along with my clones and begin to decimate the enemy forces i feel James slip away to another location but he can wait for another day once the battle is over the Assassins teleport back to Heaven and my soldiers and i head back to the hotel only to discover that Annabeth was stabbed with a poison dagger by one Ethan Nakamura. I walk into the hotel room where Percy sits by her sleeping form muttering under his breath i put my hand on his shoulder and his head snaps to the side so fast one would think he got whiplash i make a motion with my head towards the door he looks reluctant but follows my lead and walks into the hallway with me where we discuss what happened what we should do tomorrow and he goes back to Annabeth's room and i walk to my own

"Theseus! Theseus!" I hear someone yelling my name as i get out of bed in just a pair of cargoes and my boots.
"What! What is it Grover?!"
"Hyperion."
"Where?"
"Armoury." I didn't even respond i just went straight to the Titan of light
"Hyperion!" I yell getting his attention
"Ah! Theseus what are you doing here?" He asks like i am his best friend ever
"I am here to accept your surrender into the hands of the Olympian Armed Forces for unrestricted interrogation." I say with a slight smirk
"Ha ha ha! You think I am going to surrender to someone who I saw at their weakest? Are you a fool?"
"You correct Hyperion you saw me at my weakest in the pit." He smirks through the flames as if he has won " But" he falters not having expected that " you have NEVER seen me at my best." I say and spread my arms slowly to form a T and use the winds to lift my body up into the air then the water in the air slowly starts spinning the wind ripping things off the ground the lake rising to meet the hurricane i was building then a barrier appeared at my will over the on lookers and greek fire rained down on Hyperion "You claim to be the Titan of Light but let ME show you the power of its King!" I say yelling over the howling of the winds as i will the fire coating his body to rise off of him and acid to pour down while it will not injure him it will still sting like a bastard. My body then ignites in a black flame and the other fires both Greek and that I pulled off of Hyperion come and start spinning around me in a blood red and poison green tornado with the black flames surrounding my body and making black fire wings that spread out as i activate my helmet's 'demon' voice "Do you surrender now!" I yell the helm making my voice echo i can feel my reserves draining quickly because of the amount of power i am using
"Yes I surrender."
"Good." I say and deactivate all of the barriers, tornadoes, and hurricanes and summon a pair of Tartarean Steel handcuffs and put them on his wrists one of the other half bloods then speaks
"Um Sir there is no where we can hold a being of his size a demigod is one thing but a Titan sir?" I nod seeing where he is coming from
"I have somewhere. A safe house so to speak, that I set up for exactly this purpose." I stop and slam my shield against Hyperion's forehead "Take him to this address the code is 2-29-3000." I say and hand him the address of the nearest safe house "Will. Walk with me." I say and walk towards the armory for the half bloods and grab my rifle in its case
"Yes Theseus?"
"Can you free run?" He nods wearily and I take off for the nearest skyscraper
Line break
Hours later I sat in a room with Hyperion chained to the wall not unlike how he had me chained once. "So Hyperion are you going to tell me what Kronos is planning? Or do I have to open the box?" I said calmly with a small black box with blood red accents inside is a torture device that Hyperion himself had invented and used on me once.
"N-No Please don't open the box." He says as I toy with the latch
"Then are you going to tell me what I want to know?"
"I can't he will kill me."
"If you don't I will kill you. Very, very slowly with what is in this box just as you once did." I say and then the door is broken in by a very angry Moon goddess "Hello Diana, how can I help you?" I ask coldly without looking away for my prisoner
"Theseus." She commands "What are you doing?"
"Interrogating the prisoner. Why?" I know why. She doesn't know about the blood on my hands both Titan and human
"I don't want you to have his blood on your hands. Or anyone else's for that matter."
"Too late Diana. I have too much blood on my hands, my ledger is dripping red. His is just another mark in its pages."
"Just let me do it please." She practically begs
"You can't Diana. There is a difference between killing and torture. Torture is an art that one must master… one that I had to master at a young age, because of him." I say and point at the Titan before us while she looks shocked at my declaration because I never told her some things like this and what those damned Empousa did, the arena, too much had I kept to myself about those times but none of what I haven't shared am I ready to. She just looks at me before summoning a chair to watch the show. I once more turn my attention to the chained being on my wall. "So Hyperion are you going to tell me? Or are you going to make me open the box?" when he shows no sign of answering I just shake my head ruefully "I did not want to do this Hyperion but you forced my hand." I say and open the box and pull out three things a syringe with a hypodermic needle a bottle filled with a powerful neurotoxin and a knife. The neurotoxin is a hybrid of diluted Hydra venom, diluted Pit Scorpion venom, and little bit of Cobra venom this particular cocktail is designed to cause and amplify pain as well as keep the victim awake. This was tested over and over again on me when I was twelve so I remember the exact formula. I walk over to his side and fill the syringe and jam it into his arm emptying its contents. I then walk back to the box and return the needle and bottle to their former positions. I pick up the Tartarean Steel Ka-Bar and put it to the tip of my finger drawing a small amount of blood now satisfied with its sharpness I walk back to him and put the knife to his side pulling it quickly, as soon as I get to the apex of my pull I jam the blade deep into his abdomen. I really wish Diana didn't have to see me do this but she chose to. The blade still buried deep in his stomach I twist the partially serrated blade in a full circle tearing the surrounding tissue his Ichor pouring from the wound like liquid gold that has cooled but not hardened. I focus on the Ichor still in his body and slowly raise the temperature until he is screaming in pain and then lower it until he almost has hypothermia and return it to normal. It becomes a pattern slash, stab, twist, heat, cool, return, repeat. Even long after he given up everything he knew that Diana wrote down I kept going the memories the… rage of what happened in the pit, everything he did to me everything he made me do…built up over all the years I just let it out, later Diana told me my eyes turned red and my hands started glowing an Orange light she had only seen once before on an Asguardian Berserker. As I walked away I heard Hyperion groan I turned and jammed the blade into his forehead and twisted it for the last time. I watched as his body disintegrated into golden dust as his spirit slowly returned to Tartarus where his body will reform.
Linebreak (time skip to final battle right before Kronos gets in the elevator)
My blade slashed through yet another dracaena when I see a hyperborean coming at us "Percy! I need Leviathan!" I yell. He nods and tosses me his ring which turns into a blue bow in midair and lands in my hand I can remember when I got him this a few months ago
Flashback
I walked to the archery "range" which is little more than a long pavilion that I segregated into cells for shooting and a small bow armory and saw Percy already there shooting his bow with perfect form but the crappiest score I have ever seen with Chiron giving him advice from inside the armory. "Percy! What in Hades are you doing?! Chiron I thought you would have learned by now that children of the sea can't use a normal bow! Percy put that twig down and meet me at the shore." I say "Merda Chiron what were you thinking?" I mumble as I walk off to the shore where I am waiting for ten minutes before an embarrassed and nervous Percy appears
"What the Hades was that Theseus? Calling me out like that in front of Chiron?!"
"That Fratellino was reality. Chiron should have known better than to give you that bow he should have asked Dad for one. But instead you are coming with me to the Central Forges at the bottom of Ryan Canyon." I say and walk into the surf I am up to my knees by the time my little brother shakes himself out of his shock and runs to follow me. We get about a mile out from the shore before I summon two Hippocampi one pitch black with the royal crest on its relatively heavy armor he is my personal aquatic steed Shadow Fang, and one of the guardian Hippocampus Tyson like so much whom he named Rainbow
'Masters. How may we be of assistance?' they say in sync
"Shadow Fang, it is good to see you old friend, we need to get to the Central Forges in Ryan canyon." They nod in acknowledgement and I mount Shadow Fang as Percy mounts Rainbow and we are off heading towards Ryan Canyon at what to a mortal would be breakneck speed. In less than half an hour we are at our location. Located in the side of the canyon most of the Olympians believe the ancient Forges of the Cyclopes' to have been lost but truthfully Poseidon and Oceanus hid it from the gods view to protect them from Zeus' wrath. We walk in and see the primary living area of the forges oversized versions of normal things designed to fit the oversized form of the Cyclopes' we continue through and I smirk at the almost comical way Percy's jaw drops when we get to the true forge putting Hephaestus' from the Labyrinth to shame. The Anvil the size of a minivan the forges the size of castle towers with great flames burning shades of red yellow orange and blue. But the giant men standing around us with inquisitive looks on their large one eyed faces when one of them recognizes me and smiles followed quickly by his two Ancient brothers
"Theseus! It is good to see you young one what is it that you need?"
"Arges! It is good to see you my friend! My little brother here needs a bow of the Sea. I was thinking Atlantean Coral but you three are the masters of the forge Truth and Justice is testament to that." I declare to those who taught me the art of the forge.
End Flashback
I pull back the string of Leviathan and let loose one of its poisoned arrows that hits the Hyperborean in the chest and its effects are immediate and he goes to crush his fellow monsters "Theseus! Kronos has gotten into the elevator!" Merda that's not good. I turn handing Percy his bow quickly as we run towards the door and into the elevator that has now returned with Thalia, Annabeth and Grover. On the ride up I shift my armor back into necklace form and pull up my hood the peak now emblazoned with a blood red dragon design along with my gauntlets that are pure Tartarean steel with Imperial Gold inlays we get up to the streets of Olympus and see minor gods and nature spirits that tied to fight Kronos bleeding out from near lethal wounds the others gasp as we walk through the ichor flowing down the roads like a golden river we get into the throne room and see Ethan Nakamura still missing the eye I took from him in the arena in the Labyrinth standing next to Kronos both with arrogant smirks on their faces at getting this far into enemy territory. Ethan sees us first notifying Kronos immediately who turns to us with an arrogant smile
"Have you come to surrender? Or to fight fruitlessly?" he asks
"We have come to accept your surrender… or kill you. Your choice." I say with a smirk at the last part. He glowers and draws Backbiter "I guess that's how it's going to go." I say as Percy draws Anaklusmos and Annabeth, Thalia, and Grover prepare to fight Ethan. I draw Verititum et Iustitum and take on a defensive stance with Percy following suit the Titan before me uses his temporal powers to try and slow us as he attacks but a quick temporal blast puts a stop to that and I block his strike aimed at my head and quickly counter with an elbow to his face and while his skin is indestructible his bones are not and his nose breaks causing blood to flow from his face in excess with a roar of rage and pain he backs up and swings again and He, Percy, and Myself move into a circle of combat he attacks Percy or I block and the other counters. About ten minutes into our combat Percy takes a staff strike to the chest which sends him tumbling into Ethan who is thrown off the side of Olympus and I notice that Kronos and I are the only ones left conscious I flip my wings out with a small amount of discomfort because of a bruise I received earlier out in the streets of Manhattan. He strikes and I block and throw Backbiter into the Hearth and kick him in the stomach dropping him to his knees. "Surrender Kronos! You cannot win." I spit out with as much venom as I can muster
"Please Theseus spare me!" he begs "I am begging you!"
"Hmm I like you begging. Do it again." I say spreading my wings relishing the fear on his face
"Never!" he spits "I cast you back to the beginning of time!" he declares and slams his fist in to the ground and everything goes black
Line break End P.O.V.
I am standing in the throne room of heaven with my lieutenants Wesley James Albright, Altaïr Ibn La'Ahad, Ezio Auditore Da Firenze, Edward Kenway, Ratohnhaké:ton, Arno Dorian, Shay Patrick Cormac, Michael, Azreal, Ezekiel, Uriel, Gabriel, Raphael, and Saraqael when Chaos appears holding a box bearing the Symbol of my order The Assassins. "Ah Chaos! How may I help you?"
"End I need you to open this box." I give her a look but take the box from her hands and open it the moment I do a flash of images pop into my head Growing up in Atlantis, Being tortured in Tartarus and these are starting to look like Theseus' memories and that's because they are Theseus' or rather they are Mine. I turn and look at the orb showing These- Me fight Kronos and I see what Kronos is doing
"Oh Merda!" I declare and flash outside of Olympus and fly in while changing my features at the same time to that of my original ones and draw Truth and Justice having seen where Kronos' weak spot is I fly into the throne room while declaring "I'm back Gramps!" and then drive my sword into his weak spot on his side and retract my wings as I can see Percy regaining consciousness. Once my blade his pulled from Luke's side I fall to my knees, planting the tip of my sword in the marble below me "I am getting to damn old for this." Say honestly after 150 Billion years of existence one gets to say that.
"What are you talking about Theseus?" Percy asks damn I forgot he was here "You are only… 16" he says checking his watch I turn to face him and when our eyes lock he lets out a very unmanly scream "What the Hades! What's up with your eyes?!" I give him a hand motion saying 'one second' and will my eyes back to the cerulean blue orbs I am known for. Looking at his face I just give him a look that says 'better?' he just gives me the bird and turns to check up on Annabeth who is just now regaining consciousness. A few minutes later the Olympians bust in the door looking haggard when they see the body behind me I see a selection of reactions Hermes cries out and goes to join Annabeth, Thalia, Percy, and Grover in mourning whereas Zeus, Hera, Apollo, and Hephaestus looked relieved and Artemis, Athena, Poseidon, Dionysus, Demeter, Hades, Hestia, Ares, and Aphrodite looked indifferent. As the gods repaired their thrones from the minor damage they received in the fight Caleb and Josh came up and got my attention we stepped outside
"Is something wrong guys?" I ask
"Yeah here is the casualty list Theseus." Josh responds and hands me a piece of paper with seven names
"Thanks guys y'all get some rest before the party." They nod grimly and I walk back in to see the gods all in their own conversations with my dad and Athena having a serious conversation and Ares and Aphrodite simply looking at them incredulously I walk up behind Athena and nod to Aphrodite who walk up behind my father and on a silent count we both push our respective people and as they fall my father catches Athena and the go tumbling past me and land with Poseidon over Athena with her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck their eyes meet and 3…2…1 they kiss deeply after a few minutes everyone save Artemis is staring at them and Zeus starts laughing and the rest of the gods soon follow suit and even I can't hold a smirk back at their golden blushes but what really gets my attention is Artemis's giggling laugh that's send my silver ichor places I do not need it going. After everyone has calmed down and taken their seats I block out Zeus' speech about the valor of the gods and his thankfulness for Hades assistance in forcing back Kronos' armies I hear him call Percy and me forward he offers us immortality and godhood which Percy and I respectfully decline and Percy asks for several thing concerning the demigods being claimed by the age of twelve cabins for all gods and the peaceful Titans being freed. When their gaze returns to me I say "I must decline as well but not the same reasons as my brother." They look at me expectantly "I request that Hades and Hestia are given thrones on the Olympian council." My statement is firm and unwavering they look shocked first then the gods have a quick mental conversation about it and while Zeus looks beaten all of the others look pleased with themselves. Zeus declares
"Theseus. You ask much, you expect much. But this council has agreed to your terms." And in that moment Hestia springs from beside the hearth and pulls me into a hug chanting 'thank you' over and over while pressing a small item into my hand a pocket watch with the inscription of Tempus Fugit on it. Which I slip into the pocket of my combat pants when Hestia finally pulls away Hades walks up and shakes my hand before the council chants in Greek and two new thrones rise up out of the marble between Demeter and Hera and Poseidon and Zeus both gods walk to their new thrones and sit in them and each throne morphs to fit its owner Hades becomes black with bronze inlays of torture and death like the doors of his palace a skull on each armrest and the Helm of Darkness on the one on the right and Hestia's becomes the heart of the eternal flame, a glowing ember made of smooth stone. With that done Thalia gets commended for her work in the battle and Grover becomes a new Lord of the Wild and made a member of the council of cloven elder at which he faints. The party then starts in Olympus's near ruined roads but all seem to be having a good time so here I stand on the edge of Olympus with a glass of Bacchus level wine in my hand Artemis standing not ten feet away whom I call over
"Artemis. We need to talk." I say and begin my story
Later that night
Artemis and I sat at a table as I finish my tale of the broad spectrum of what happened in the past when it hit me. A great burning sensation on my chest that quickly spread to the rest of my body and was gone as soon as it came Artemis and I just shrugged it off and continued talking, her asking questions every now and then that I answered as best as I could when Ares and Aphrodite came over with drinks. We had a quick conversation before they left to go off somewhere and do Helix knows what. Soon after I finished the basics before I met her as End I felt a familiar feeling in my gut of being drugged with some kind of Aphrodisiac that was strong enough to affect me and I was then blacked out like I could see what was going on but couldn't control myself and it appears that Artemis was under it effects as well.
The next morning
"Well I guess I can scratch 'fuck Artemis' off my bucket list." I say playfully receiving a punch to the side for my trouble from the petite goddess beside me who was at the time tracing my scars and tattoos "I was joking."
"Sure you were." She says dryly but I can see the smile threatening her features she just continues to trace my scars before I get up "Hey! Where do you think you're going?!" she yells after me
"I am going to take a shower. I don't know about you but I am not going back to camp while smelling like sex, sweat, and Ichor." I say gesturing towards the scratches on my back. At which she blushes "You are more than free to join me." I say with a slight smirk and continue into the bathroom to get in the shower when I hear over the mental link Percy and I set up last night
'Hey Theseus. Where are you?'
"Morning Fratellino. I am at a friend's house. Hope you and wise girl didn't get into too much trouble after Rachel became the Oracle."
'Shut up Theseus. And whose house are you at? If I may ask?' I just ignore him and finish my shower before teleporting to camp and appearing fully clothed in combats, t-shirt, and a leather jacket. I walk over to the Ares cabin where Clarisse answers she is standing there in what appears to be a t-shirt (that's not hers [mine probably [) and her under where she sees it's me and curses "σκατά." And slams the door in my face only to reappear in a pair of jeans and t-shirt (still mine) and combat boots with a sword at her side and light leather armor we head down to the arena where she pulls her hair up into a pony tail and I draw Tempus Fugit at which she is surprised to the short, Spartan style sword and as we spar with quick deliberate actions that if we were not both so skilled with a blade would have killed us several times over she is very surprised by my 'new' skill with a sword compared to how I was yesterday.
Later that day
Clarisse and I are walking along the beach when Triton appears in the surf. "Hey Triton how may I help you?" I ask but he just smiles and hands me a package with a note and card which ward happy birthday and go to the road. We run over to the road and see a black Chevrolet™ CamaroZ28 convertible with leather interior I open the small box and it reveals the keys. I unlock the car and open the passenger side door for Clarisse and then run around the car to the driver side and hop in start the car and put the pedal to the metal towards New York because that is where the nearest Five Guys Burgers and Fries was and I wanted a real cheeseburger
Line break day after Percy disappears
I get up and notice Percy is not in his bunk I get up and get dressed and walk out only to see Annabeth there about to knock "hey do you know where Percy is?" we speak in unison. "No I thought he was with you. Ugh you're no help. CHIRON!" we yell and run towards the big house dodging and swerving around campers and rattle off what we know but when Annabeth goes with Butch to collect three half-bloods at the grand canyon I just meditate so by the time Annabeth, Butch, Jason, Piper and Leo get back I am half in the past but when Jason walks in with Chiron and they start speaking Latin I open my eyes "Jason." They turn to look at me
"Theseus do you know him?"
"Yes do you know me?"
"Yes I do Jason I taught you how to use that sword of yours. Son of Jupiter." They both look at as if I had grown a second head but I continue speaking in Latin this time "Filius Iovis viarum vestrarum. ut eam formam futuri. (Son of Jupiter remember your past. may it shape your future)." Jason's eyes glaze over and he collapses but I catch him and place him on the couch I was sitting on "his memories will return soon enough." I say with an air of finality and walk out ignoring Chiron's protests and questions
Later that day
At campfire Piper was claimed as a daughter of Aphrodite and Jason did some little lightning thing and though no one noticed Leo slip away into the woods but me I followed him and watched as he traveled through the woods and found Beckendorf's dragon and Bunker 9 and fixed the dragon. Soon after I felt a calling in the back of my head. A deep resonant song that I had been ignoring for months since the Battle of Manhattan actually I knew what it was, I designed the signal after all I did what I had to do I teleported in the throne room of Chaotica the planet from which the Council of Nine ruled the universe Chaos simply made final decisions. I walk down the hall to the chamber of the Nine where I have been several times in the past and even been a member of the Council once very boring I was only in for one term to much politics. The moment I entered they stood to greet me. "Shall we begin?" I ask to which they nod and go through this long drawn out ceremony that I wrote once upon a millennia, doesn't mean I ever wanted to be on the receiving end of the damned thing.
Line break end of the quest
Jason was pissed at me understandably so granted but that did not mean his lightning bolts didn't hurt. "Ok Jason I understand that you're mad." I scramble out of the way of yet another lightning bolt that compares to his fathers "But can't we talk about thiiis!" I say getting hit again I mean Helix this guys is more temper-mental than his father and that's saying something.
"No! Theseus you didn't tell me the truth about anything! You didn't tell me you were working with the Greeks! Or that you brother was Greek! Or anything dammit! Why could you not trust me? We are brothers in arms. At least that is what you said when we were kids. What happened that changed that?" that really hits a nerve but I call back how I felt then in order to retort
"Tartarus. That's what changed me. 1556 years of pure torture in one way or another; Physical, Mental, Emotional. Everything they knew that would break me so if I lost my faith in mortals don't blame me!" I say my voice adapting into a growl by the end as I walk away to begin my search for my brother
Jason P.O.V at the campfire
I sat off to the side observing everything was still so… so…raw in my mind this morning I had woken up with no memories and then all of this demigod BS occurs when Piper gets this magical makeover that doesn't suit her. But soon after the buzz from that dies down that redhead from the Ju-Hera cabin shows up Rachel I believe and starts to talk
"Eight Half-Bloods shall answer the call,
To storm or fire the world must fall,
An oath to keep with a final breath,
And foes bear arms to the doors of death."
'So unlike Octavian' a voice in my head nags wait who is Octavian? Merda all these things seem familiar but… wrong somehow like how siblings shouldn't be together causes bad battle communique between soldiers, and how I speak Latin where they all speak Greek oh I need to rest
Theseus P.O.V. present day
Helix that boy is annoying I need to speak to Hera she will know what the Hell is going on! I try to vapor travel to Olympus but something blocks me probably that damned lock off they have going on so I spread my wings and take off for Olympus I activate my Eagle vision that myself and all of my descendants are blessed with to see two guards that are on watch on this side and they are easily taken out by sleep darts from my hidden dart gun and I fly quickly to Hera's palace here on Olympus which Annabeth has done an excellent job of rebuilding. I land in front of Hera's palace and quickly retract my wings my hood still up and knock briefly once she opens it she is surprised to see me there but she ushers me in on seeing my eyes "where is he?" I ask harshly
"safe." She replies quickly. I give a look that tells her to elaborate she sighs and motions for me to sit down "He is loose cannon."
"You think I don't know that! He's Greek of course he is that is why I am here to counter him. Cool his blood."
"Yes but better to have him a sleep than to have running around messing everything up." I glare but accept her answer
"You never answered my question. Where is he?" she gets up and motions for me to follow which I do and she leads me to a small antechamber with a stone medical table on which is my little brother in a state of consciousness that is somewhere between sleep and a coma satisfied with my findings I teleport to the middle of nowhere Arizona "Heimdall." I say and I am then teleported via Bifröst to Asgard where I exchange a quick greeting with Heimdall and spread my wings with practiced ease and fly towards the palace dodging skyhoppers and people alike when I fly alongside the bridge and then weaving in and out of buildings once I got into the city I land in front of the palace and walk in the guards opening in the path of a soldier of Asgard I walk into the throne room to see Odin and his golden eye-patch as well as "Frigg it is good to see you my friend." She returns the greeting and then leaves to give her husband and I some privacy "Odin… it's time. It is time that Asgard made itself know to Earth once more."
Line break just before Son of Neptune (nothing happened between then and now)
I sat once more in the Wolf House as I did all those years ago as a child. Hera told me to meet her here for transferring Percy from her care into mine she appears as Juno before me with Percy at her feet memoryless and waking with a curt nod she disappears and where she stood Anaklusmos now lies I see my brother's eyes open slowly their Sea Green hues opening for the first time in months confusion clouding them when he sits up his hand instinctively goes to the hilt of his sword when his eyes lock mine his blade is immediately pointed at my throat I just smile and push the blade away "Hello Percy. I know that this must all be very disorienting… having no memory and all. But rest assured they will return with time but to start my name is Theseus Romulus Jackson...your twin brother."
