Chapter 8: I'm Done
The next few days were torture. Aubrey and her posse wouldn't leave me alone and I kept having to beat up that son of Zeus. That, and the fact that I had to fight in a war, gather up energy to take away Angela's curse, and had to control my troops, pushed me almost to my breaking point.
Then came another battle with a titan. I had called out orders just like last time, only I put Jewel with the hunters and Key went to guard the woods with Night.
As soon as I saw Atlas, I turned to Percy and said. "I got him, you take out the monsters."
Percy nodded and then we both went to fight our own monsters. I flew up to Atlas and pulled out my sword. The titan laughed and said.
"So this is who they send to fight me. You don't stand a..."
He didn't get to finish as I sliced my sword through his leg. He stared at me in shock for a minute before I stabbed at him again. This time he parried the attack and the fight went back and forth before I started to chant.
"Με αυτές τις αρχαίες λέξεις μιλάω, ας είναι έτσι ώστε αυτή η Titan δεν είναι τίποτα περισσότερο. Αφήστε τον να σβήνουν από την ύπαρξη και να τον αφήσει ποτέ να επιστρέψει σε αυτόν τον κόσμο ποτέ ξανά."
The titan slowly faded into oblivion. As soon as he was gone, I turned and started to fight some monsters, but I stopped when I saw something strange. Aubrey was slowly getting closer to Jewel who was fighting monsters. I wondered what she was on about so I walked closer to them.
Just as Aubrey walked right behind Jewel, I saw a knife in her hand. I had no time to warn Jewel before Aubrey stabbed her in the heart. Jewel fell to the ground with a thud.
That enraged me. I shot across the field over to Aubrey and I held a knife up against her throat. As hunters gathered around to see what was going on, I growled at her.
"You took my first life away from me and now you have taken my lieutenant's second. I have been leniant on you so far, Aubrey, but I will be no longer. You deserve what you have gotten."
"Oh so you're going to kill me?" Aubrey sneered but I could see that she was slightly afraid.
"No." I replied before saying in a low voice. "But I curse you, Aubrey, daughter of Poseidon. Whenever you use your powers, they will malfunction on you. Whenever you try and shoot an arrow straight, it will miss. And whenever you think of killing someone again, your actions will flood your mind and make you regret hurting all the people you did. You have enraged one of the most powerful beings in the universe, daughter of Poseidon, and you are lucky that I did not have one of my soldiers torture you and then kill you in a very painful way. Let this be a lesson to you. Never make a powerful being mad."
And with those last words, I flashed away.
I was tired of dealing with the demigods. I was tired of dealing with gods. And most of all, I was tired of dealing with hunters.
They could win this war without me. Percy was here and therefore they could win it without me.
And if they needed me back, well then, I would come back.
But for now, I'm done.
