Shoutouts:
PoppyOhare- Aw thanks :3
Izzybella12- Oh.. oh wait- did, did you want Nico and Percy in that last chapter? Oh. Whoops.
DomDetex- hahahaah trust me, i don't XD, i stopped writing for like 7 months cause i was lazy hahaha
Okay chapter Yay!
Okay and one more thing. I'll be switching to third person from now on. When i first started i was doing 1st person but i realized it wasn't such a good idea but i didn't really want to go and change stuff so i let it be. But now i think i really should just switch to third because it can get confusing at times especially when there's several POVs, so just- roll with it K? Thanks.
(I might be going back and switching it all to third person but im lazy so)
Percy
Percy froze for a split second, paralyzed by what he had seen.
No. no no no no no.
He lunged from his position, his sword springing out, with one raging swing, he sliced the serpents head clean off, the shadow disappearing into thin air, erasing from existence.
He collapsed next to Nico who had gone completely still.
"Nico! Nico come on! Come on! You were going to live life and see the world. You were going to be free. Get up!"
Tears started to spill.
"Nico. Nico please," He cried, shaking him violently. "Please"
Nico never responded, his eyes had gone dull and his heartbeat stopped. He was gone.
It was all real. Percy had nearly died, he had been given a chance. He had chosen to continue the death quest. He had chosen to suffer through life. He had chosen to see Nico die.
They had given him a chance. But it should've been Nico. Nico should've been given a chance. He deserved it much more than Percy did. Especially now that he wasn't in complete control of his own mind. Especially now that he was a danger to all of his friend.
It should've been Nico that was given a chance. He spent half his life in that hell hole. He just got his freedom only to be caged in the underworld. He had only gotten a small taste of the sun before it was forever taken away from him.
He hunched over his body, taking heaving breathes, "It's my fault. I was distracted. I wasn't paying attention. Nico, I'm sorry. Please come back."
No.
No, it was bigger than this.
It wasn't just his fault. It was all of theirs. All of the immortal beings. Everyone involved in it.
The monsters. Polybotes. The giants. The titans. The gods.
It was everyone.
The gods always failed to protect their children.
They don't even care. Nobody cares. They don't care if people die. They don't care what happens down here. It's all some silly game to them. All the demigods could die and they'd just wave it all off and make more. Because they could all be replaced.
It was their fault.
And the titans.
The titans had been able to capture these demigods because the gods don't care. They kept them in a dungeon for several years. The gods didn't care. The gods didn't bother looking for them. They probably didn't even know they were even gone.
The titans treated them horribly. And then they lost the war. Hah, and the only reason the gods even fought in the Titan war was so they didn't lose control of the world. It was so they could be the leaders. Not that their children could die. No. They don't care.
The giants, the giants enslaved them. Used them for their own purposes. They were all just ants to them. They didn't care if they died.
Polybotes had his own place to enslave demigods, if he did, then the other giants probably did too. There was probably several places trapped with demigods, just using them for their own personal gain.
The monsters just wanted to kill. That's all they cared about. Killing for sport. Killing because it's fun. Killing the demigods just because they happened to be children of the gods.
But it all started with the gods. Because they don't care. They don't bother to even look at them. It doesn't matter just how many of them died.
It was the gods.
It was always the gods. Thinking they were so high and mighty, looking down over the world like it was a prize. A chess game. They could sacrifice as many pawns as long as the king never fell.
Maybe the titans and giants wanted to take over the world. But the gods were no better.
They weren't good. There was no good.
It was all just different types of evil.
Percy didn't want to fight for them anymore. In fact. He wanted to watch them all burn. He wanted to see them suffer for once. No, Percy would be fighting for himself, the people he loved, and his own home. Nothing else.
Not for the gods. Not for the giants.
And nothing was going to get in his way. He'd kill them all. Anything and everything that got in his way.
Everyone else was now the enemy. There was no right side. He thought back to Luke. He now understood why he had left the gods side, he understood why he'd gone to the titans.
Luke was right.
He should have listened to him.
The gods deserved to fall.
The giants deserved to fall.
They all deserved to fall.
All of them.
It was all their faults that Nico had died. That Silena had died. And Luke, and Ethan, and everyone else that had died.
The demigods that had gone over to the titan side, they hadn't chosen poorly, they had just been manipulated slightly to think that the titans were just barely better than the gods.
But they were all bad.
There was no right side. But it wasn't like they could've done anything else.
Because if they hadn't chosen to fight for the titans, then they would've been killed on spot.
Because nobody cared.
Nobody cared.
He shook, looking up at the dark sky, "I'll kill you. I'll find you and I'll kill you all." He said quietly
"Did you hear me!" He stood up, glaring at the night sky, "I'll kill you, I will!" He screamed out
Percy cried out as he felt pain shoot through his skull, he fell to his knees clutching his head, a horrible headache forming, his vision started to flicker red. His entire body soon crumbled to the ground
He writhed in agony, rolling across the sand, and soon all he saw was red.
"I'll kill you all." A whisper was heard out into the night, "Every. Last. One."
Well wasn't that chapter just lovely. Hope you guys liked it :D
