~~~~~percy POV~~~~
I stared at the puddle of blood, still in shock. I saw Atermis rushing over, bottle of nectar in hand. She placed my head on her lap, slipping a few drops in my mouth. "Are you okay?"she asked, worry in her voice. I wasn't sure how I replied, other than a few gurgles. She was crying. And she never cried. She traced the bloody gash in my gut. I wanted to cry out in pain, in agony for the love I lost. The world faded to black as I closed my eyes.
~~~~~~Atermis POV~~~~~
I rushed to bandage the gash, to no avail. He already lost too much blood. I clutched my head in despair. i remembered Dionysus' wife, and I had a idea.
I was going to turn percy into a god.
I slung his body over my shoulder like it was nothing. I summoned my brother, Apollo, to take us to Olympus. Five minutes later, Apollo arrived on his chariot. He gaped at the body. "just shut up and bring us to Olympus!"I shouted, a tear streaming down my cheek. He simply nodded, fearing for his face.
~Olympus~
I stormed in on a meeting, dragging percy's body covered in a black sheet. "Ah. Welcome atermis. We were just-what are you carrying?"asked Zeus, all other gods looking at me with interest. I frowned, and pulled off the sheet.
The room was silent.
Poseidon was horrified, and he grabbed his trident. Aphrodite simply shrugged, like it was planned from the start. Ares growled, and pulled out his blade. Zeus stared . I frantically held him. He was barely breathing. "please…I know you have not decided the heir to chronos's power…so I ask, why not Perseus Jackson?"I asked,my voice filled with sadness. there were faint mumbles of agreement among the gods. Zeus simply nodded, saying"very well. He may be the heir. Just remember, daughter, that if something were to happen, it would be on your head bring the boy here.". atermis obeyed.
A light filled the room.
