CHAPTER 3
Gaia's arena
3rd Person POV
2 Days later
"Huh…" Athena moaned as she finally regained conscious. She looked around. Shock. The only emotion that she felt at the moment. Her whole world had been shattered.
First, that boy… no man, had turned down immortality, then, he went down to tartarus for her daughter. Finally, he got the power of the gods (combined) and took out a DAM primordial! Everything he had done was for them… Now there was a crater that could fit marking where he perished.
The other gods had started to wake. In front of them was Gaia's arena, or at least what was left of it.
"Where is he? He's got to be here somewhere… HELP ME!" Annabeth yelled as she dug through the rubble, but she already know the cold, hard truth. Percy Jackson, had died.
"How could he have died? He was immortal after our blessing…" Asked Hades
"The same way he killed Gaia… he TOOK her to Tartarus… He had been planning the entire time, he needed her to stab him. There was no way she would have gotten close enough to stab him if he hadn't let her. When she stabbed him, he broke the sword in his stomach (look in past chapter for proof). He must have used that to send her essence to Tartarus, but it also sent him there…" Athena said, barely wrapping her head around how smart a son of Poseidon really was…
Poseidon flew down to the center, grabbed a large chunk of rubble, and threw it to the ground in rage, causing an earthquake, and then he started to carve something into it.

The demigods and gods gasped
"He had a sister, Lord Poseidon?" Asked a stunned Annabeth.
"Is the child yours, Brother?" Zeus asked, not even aware enough to be mad at him.
"Sally is 3 months pregnant with Paul's child…" He replied.
They all had a moment of silence for the greatest hero of all time.
Percy POV
Uhhhhhh…
Why is everything so dark?
"Uh, my eyes better adjust to the dark fast.." I said to nobody.
CLICK CLICK CLICK
What is that noise?
I turned around to see a figure behind me. This figure radiated power, so of course I did the logical thing and bowed. LOL JK XD No I didn't. This is freaking TARTARUS, I didn't even hesitate to turn around and start attacking the creature. I missed my first two strikes and almost got stabbed by something. What is this thing, a hellhound? No the object was too sharp to be one… WHAT IS IT? I decided not to risk holding back and to just charge it.
"Stop right there demi-god" the thing hissed
I froze
That voice, I knew it.
I unconsciously started to growl..
"What do you want Arachne?"
"My lord has required you to come with me" she said with a smile," But he never said I couldn't have fun with you FIRST."
I just smiled at how oblivious she was to my new powers.
"Why are you smil-" She tried to say, as I ran up to her faster than Hermes and had one of my wings at her neck.
I let her go, deciding to try out a new power.
"When you come regenerate again, tell you 'Lord' that if he wants me, he's going to have to get me himself" I said as I forced the shadows to grab her. Fun. I let the shadows swallow her, leaving nothing when the shadows dispersed.
"Thank you, uncle Hades" I murmured to myself. I then had a realization. I was surrounded by rock… No wonder I couldn't see anything. If I didn't have my blessings, I would have definitely not seen arachne… Using another power, I felt energy transfer to my hand, and then I touched one of the rock walls.
BOOM
The wall in front of me shattered into a millions pieces. I looked out and saw that I was on top of a cliff. In front of me, I saw the point where all 5 of the rivers met. It was a black boiling mess. I shuddered at the sheer thought of being stuck in it.
Suddenly, I fell backwards. I just had a vision. It was of me drowning, the pain, making me feel like I should just kill myself and end the pain. Then suddenly, I felt my body jumpstart again. What was that? Well, I need to manage to try and get to the Hermes shrine and send a note to the demigods that I am still alive. I don't know if they know that I'm here or if they think that I am dead. I guess it depends if Athena figured it out, and told the others. But I think she is going to keep it from them to make sure that they don't get false hope.
I spread my wings, and admired them for the first time, they were the color of my eysea green eyes. Then I looked at a piece of broken glass on the ground and noticed that my eyes where a completely different color. I loved it. I spread my wings as far as I could to see how long it was. I instantly knew that it was 20 feet long. How, I don't know. I just did. I decided to fly to the temple and to get away from the point of intersection. It is going to be a LONG journey for my wings.
OMG I'M SORRY!
I WAS OUT IN AFRICA FOR WINTER, BUT I'M BACK!
Here is chapter 3...
