Percy switched his flashlight on and looked at Grover, "Are…are you okay?" Percy asked him.

He looked older and sadder. He took his cap from Annabeth, brushed off the mud, and stuck it firmly on his curly head.

"We should go now," he said, "and tell them. The great god Pan is dead."

I looked at Artemis, "Should I just take us all too camp half-blood?"

She nodded, "Yes, so can set up traps."

I looked at the others, they nodded, "That would be cool, but Rachel can't come with us." Percy said, "We can get back on our own, thanks Wyatt."

I nodded, "I'll see you back at camp."

I walked to the hunters, they all grabbed hands and Artemis grabbed my shoulder. She nodded and then I concentrated on camp half-blood, within seconds we were at camp, where everyone was getting ready for the attack. Artemis told the hunters to help out setting the traps, and then Artemis and I started talking about what we should do. Since one of us is a god and can't really interfere, but she could, since we're being attacked by Kronos's army, who by the way is a titan…But he's also in a mortal body, so she probably can't unless they kill a hunter.

Anyway, I told Artemis I was going to wait in the tunnel and take out as much as I can and then let everyone else do the rest. She told me of course, but I said I can't really do much. Ever since Bianca's death I haven't been able to use fire, and since fire is my best weapon, I wouldn't be able to do much.

After maybe ten minutes she let me go down there, before I went down Chiron stopped me, "We set some traps down there, it would be best not to go too far in." He warned me, I nodded, "Alright. Thanks." I told him and headed down the tunnel. I don't like being down here, it's creepy. I stayed down here for twenty minutes when I started to feel the ground rumbling.

Yup, that's an army. I braced myself, I want to use fire against them…But I can't. As the rumbling got closer, they started to slow down, in front of me was about fifty monsters. The only card I can play is to use Kronos's power to slow them down and then pull out my bow and start taking them down slowly.

Alright that's my best bet to get at least a hundred out of the way. I slowed down time and then summoned my bow and started to fire arrow after arrow, every two shots, one arrow would break apart and then there would be ten arrows in the air flying towards the monsters.

They backed me up to the entrance, I lost concentration and time started up again. I turned and yelled, "Get ready!" I didn't need to, since everyone had their bows out and then there were some catapults aimed at the cave entrance, I ran faster, because the monsters were right behind me. And just like that hell broke loose.

At least one hundred arrows covered the sky above me, I shadow travel away from there, and turned to see all of the arrows take out fifty monsters. Another wave came out the entrance, "Fire!" A camper yelled. The catapults swung into action. Two boulders hurtled toward the giants. One deflected off a car shield with hardly a dent, but the other caught a Laistrygonian in the chest, and the giant went down. Apollo's archers fired a volley, dozens of arrows sticking in the thick armor of the giants like porcupine quills. Several found chinks in armor, and some of the giants vaporized at the touch of celestial bronze.

But just when it looked like the Laistrygonians were about to get overwhelmed, the next wave surged out of the maze: thirty, maybe forty dracaenae in full battle armor, wielding spears and nets. They dispersed in all directions. Some hit the traps the Hephaestus cabin had laid. One got struck on the spikes and became an easy target for archers. Another triggered a trip wire, and pots of Greek fire exploded into green flames, engulfing several of the snake women. But many more kept coming. Argus and Athena's warriors rushed forward to meet them. I saw Annabeth draw a sword and engage one of them. Nearby, Tyson was riding a giant. Somehow he'd managed to climb onto the giant's back and was hitting him on the head with a bronze shield—BONG! BONG! BONG!

Chiron calmly aimed arrow after arrow, taking down a monster with every shot. But more enemies just kept climbing out of the maze. Finally a hellhound leaped out of the tunnel and barreled straight toward the satyrs.

I went to Artemis who couldn't help us, "Orders?" I asked, "Help the campers, and take out as many as you can."

I went out and started to help whoever I could, the other hunters were already helping reloading the catapults. "GO!" Someone yelled behind me, I looked back and saw Percy running into battle, I looked around and noticed some monsters were vaporizing when no one hit them, so I assumed that was Annabeth.

Just when I decided to attack, an enemy half-blood knocked me to the ground, I looked back angrily but I stopped, he was no older than ten years old, and his armor wasn't even on right. Kronos is such a coward, sending a kid to do his dirty work, "Hey kid, leave before you regret it." I told him, he looked scared, but he still attacked me.

He lifted up his sword with difficulty, and then he tried to swing it at me, I grabbed the sword with my bare hands, "don't do this, Kronos is the bad guy, just because your Olympian parent hasn't claimed you yet, doesn't mean they don't care about you, they are watching over you right now, think about this. Don't work for someone like Kronos, join us and help us stop him." I looked at the kid right in the eyes, he hesitated, "I…I don't want to die!" He tried pulling his sword away, I held on, "Listen to me kid, I'm the god of mortals, and I care if you die, Kronos is the lord of the titans, and he won't care if you die. And let's not forget he can't protect you when you're in battle, because he's evil." I told the kid.

He let go of his sword, "Good, come here." I said gently.

He didn't move at first, this is going to be hard…Kronos basically brainwashed these half-bloods. But eventually he walked towards me.

"I'm sorry." He said before exploding.

I flew away and rolled on the ground multiple times, I looked around at everyone, it wasn't only me who was struck down, and I saw some of the campers on the ground, not moving. My blood slowly started to boil, that kid…Kronos…He will pay for all of this.

There was a line right in the middle of all this, it's where all the monsters and enemy half-bloods met our forces. This is going to take a lot out of me, I stomped on the ground and it opened up, "Serve me!" I yelled, about thirty skeletons came crawling up the sides and started to fight. This seemed endless, just how many are in there?

I checked all the others, a lot of the campers have fallen, I couldn't see any hunters. They were all probably in the distance picking off all the monsters they could, but one thing they didn't do was take their chances with the half-bloods. It looks like we're winning this. Just when I thought this, an unearthly shriek echoed out of the entrance, and then something came flying out, landed on the top of Zeus's Fist and surveyed the carnage. Her face was filled with evil glee. The mutant animal heads growled at her waist. Snakes hissed and swirled around her legs. In her right hand she held a glittering ball of thread—Ariadne's string—but she popped it into a lion's mouth at her waist and drew her curved swords. The blades glowed green with poison. The monster screeched in triumph, and some of the campers screamed. Others tried to run and got trampled by hellhounds or giants.

"Di Immortals!" Chiron yelled. He quickly aimed an arrow, but the monster seemed to sense his presence. She took flight with amazing speed, and Chiron's arrow whizzed harmlessly past her head.

Tyson untangled himself from the giant whom he'd pummeled into unconsciousness. He ran at our lines, shouting, "Stand! Do not run from her! Flight!"

But then a hellhound leaped on him, and Tyson and the hound went rolling away. Got to admit, he's a brave one. I can't take this thing down, not now anyway, I watched Annabeth and Percy team up and try to take her down after Chiron fired three arrows into the monster's chest. She roared.

When they got five feet within the monster they both got knocked to the ground. "NO!" I yelled and ran forward. Before I could get there, a hellhound pounced on the monster, which confused me. "Good girl!" someone yelled, I looked toward the entrance and saw a giant with so many hands. He throw a volley of rocks at the monster which soon buried it, leaving it's swords sticking out.

As soon as the monster was down, a cheer went up from the campers. But our enemies weren't done yet. One of them yelled, "Ssssslay them! Kill them all or Kronossss will flay you alive!"

Apparently, that threat was more terrifying than we were. The giants surged forward in a last desperate attempt. One surprised Chiron with a glancing blow to the back legs, and he stumbled and fell. Six giants cried in glee and rushed forward.

"No!" Percy yelled and tried to rush to help him. But then from out of nowhere. Grover opened his mouth, and the most horrible sound I'd ever heard came out. It was like a brass trumpet magnified a thousand times—the sound of pure fear.

The forces of Kronos dropped their weapons and ran for their lives. The giants trampled the dracaenae trying to get into the Labyrinth first. Telekhines and hellhounds and enemy half-bloods scrambled after them. The tunnel rumbled shut, and the battle was over. The clearing was quiet except for the fires burning in the woods, and the cries of the wounded.

That was unexpected, the battle just ending like that, I mean. Plus the one were Grover let out the power of Pan, Damn...That was awesome, but also scary. Anyway, Artemis gathered the hunters, only a few were hurt...which made Artemis feel a lot better, since she couldn't help.

Percy and Annabeth ran to Chiron who was trying in vain to get up. I feel bad for just leaving everyone, but we have to go. "Now what do we do?" I asked Artemis, she looked at me angry, "Wyatt, how many time-

"He did it to help us, plus the campers." Thalia interrupted.

Artemis looked at her and then me, "If it was meant to help someone, then...I suppose I can let this slide." She told me, I nodded, "I'm sorry though."

After Annabeth help Chiron, she came running to me, "Wyatt...Are you okay?" She asked worriedly. I nodded, "Yeah, why?"

She waved me over and whispered, "Are you sure? I mean, I saw what happened with you and that kid..."

Oh...That.

"Yes...I'm alright, I tried to help him, but he was under Kronos's spell." I told Annabeth, she looked uncertain, "If you say so...But-

"I'm fine, I don't need to think about other stuff right now." I snapped.

I knew what she was going to say. I don't need to hear it, not again. "Okay..." she said and went back to Percy. Artemis gave a mean look, "Did you really have to sound so mean?"

"I'm sorry but I don't need to be reminded about Bianca." I said.

So much for trying not to remember that. "Anyway." I changed the subject, "What are we going to do now?" I asked.

Artemis shook her head, "Me and the hunters here are going to resume hunting in the wild again."

I tilted my head, "Okay, but what about-

"You're going to stay here..." She told me.

"What!?" I exclaimed, "Why do I have to stay here?" I whispered angrily,

"If you're truly meant to fight Typhon...Then you must stay here and regain all the training to missed, and learn to control your powers better." Artemis explained.

"But I can't really do that, since I swore on the River Styx not to leave you ever again." I said and smiled shyly, Artemis smiled at my sad attempt to stay with her, "Then I'll give you time to do what must be done, you have three years to get everything you need and fight Typhon." Artemis ordered.

I sighed deeply, "As you wish."

To my surprise all the hunters gave me a farewell hug, but when I got to Artemis, I put a bubble around us and told her, "I'll be okay, make sure nothing bad happens to the hunters."

She smiled and hugged me a little longer, "My hunters are strong, and they don't need to be watched all the time, unlike you."

When I was going to pull away, Artemis whispered, "Not yet..."

I smiled, "Gonna miss me?"

"Yes." Is all she said to shut me up.

We stayed like that for maybe five minutes. I wanted it to look like I shadow traveled us away, so I decided to test out Artemis theory. I started to walk and the bubble also started to move with me. So we went for a little walk.

"This'll come in handy, don't you think?" Artemis asked me. Her voice was soft, like she really enjoyed our time together. "Yeah, because if I want to kidnap you, then I can just do this."

These past few days Artemis has shown more emotion, she actually does care about me. "Well m'lady. I'll see you later, but this time I won't keep you waiting." I told her, she smiled sweetly at me, "Good. But I don't mind waiting a little longer, we're immortal after all."

She's right, but this curse of Achilles isn't complete, I missed a step when I first went in. Which is why I almost died so many times, "Yeah, but I won't make you wait, you can count on that."

Me and Artemis took our time getting back, we didn't say much, because there really wasn't much to say. We both have something to do, plus we both know our paths will cross again. When we got back no one questioned us, just a lot of goodbyes, Artemis explained to Chiron what I have to do. He nodded grimly, "I see."

I don't know how long I have, but I'll make sure I'm ready.

When Artemis and the hunters left, Chiron turned to me, "Percy will be your sword instructor until you're better than he is. And Annabeth will be refilling your mind with battle strategies, and I will be teaching you archery, and I will also help you with your powers. That is what we will be doing until you go back to Artemis."

My mouth hung open, "Damn, no mercy, huh?"

Chiron chuckled, "If you want to beat Typhon, then this is necessary. The gods themselves fled from Typhon, he is not someone to look down on."

I gulped, "Good to know. When do I start?"

"You'll have to wait and see, we just had a battle, which as you can see, left a lot of campers in a…Troubled state." Chiron said. I nodded, "Alright, until then, I'll be training myself."

Man, Nico is getting a lot of friends, and he seems to be getting along with one of the Apollo campers. It's good to see him look so happy…I wish I could be that carefree…But as the god of mortals, I can't be happy.

Not yet anyway.

Well...Tell me what you think about the ending, I'm okay with it, not the best ending, but it's not like this is the last one :P anyway, I'll try to start up the next one today, if not, then maybe tomorrow or Friday.

Thanks for reading and staying with Wyatt and his adventure, until next time, see you!
