Ouranos slowly fell on his knees, Ichor gushing out of his wound. And when I saw gushing I mean gushing. It could have been the next Niagara Falls. Anyway, his eyes were slowly losing the life in them and the pleading that I saw in them a few seconds before was being replaced by nothingness. Finally he fell face flat onto the floor.
"Jon, get over here!" Thalia shouted at me and I realized that they were still fighting the giants.
I raced over, but it did no good because they killed the last giant as I reached them. They looked at me like I was a fat lard who did absolutely and not the person who just saved the world.
"Thanks," Thalia said sarcastically.
Alex took a different approach. She took me into a bear hug almost squeezing the life out of me. Finally Alex let go and I took huge gulps of air before I was okay again.
"You did it Jon!" Alex exclaimed.
"You sound like you're surprised!" I joked.
"Well-," she began, but Thalia cut her off.
"This is all good and well, but we should get back to Camp."
"How?" I asked.
"You're mom is the goddess of the wild, call a few Pegasus," Alex replied.
I concentrated really hard, trying to sense any Pegasus in the area. I finally picked up a herd (AN: Do horses travel in herds or something else?) of Pegasus and I called three over. They quickly heeded my call and they were waiting outside of the penthouse in less than five minutes.
"After you," I said, bowing elegantly toward the Pegasus.
"Ladies first," she replied pushing me forward.
"Age before beauty," I gestured and I picked her up and threw her onto a Pegasus.
Alex shot me another smile and I climbed onto my Pegasus. They quickly took off towards Camp Half-Blood, eager to get back to their herd. My fear of being 20,000 feet in the air had not abated so I was clinging for dear life to the neck of my Pegasus.
"Lighten up, Jon," Alex shouted, laughing.
"You ride Pegasus and I save the world," I yelled, "we can't be good at everything."
I closed my eyes for the rest of the trip, praying to my mother that she would just let me live. I know that I killed a Titan, but that was something I could control, falling off of a Pegasus and crashing to my death? Not so much. Finally, I saw camp in the distance and I practically began to bounce up and down on the Pegasus.
The moment the Pegasus touched ground I leapt off and began to hug the ground. I knew that I looked pathetic to the extreme, but I just saved the world, I could do what I wanted.
"Jon! Alex! Thalia! You're back," Chiron exclaimed galloping towards us.
"Ouranos is dead, Chiron," I explained and he beamed at me.
"Wonderful news!" he replied, "We shall have a feast and bonfire tonight!"
He galloped off towards the Big House humming a horrible sounding song. Alex and I headed towards the dining pavilion, but we noticed that Thalia was hanging back.
"Come on, Thalia," I beckoned, but she shook her head.
"I can't," she began, "I no longer belong here. I gave that right up when I became a Hunter. I am off to find the Hunters again, so I can further serve your mother. So, goodbye."
She quickly hugged us both and sprinted off towards her old tree, stopping by it for a second. When she left our view we headed back towards the dining pavilion. We could hear the laughter and talking from right outside it, but then finally getting my bravery up I stopped Alex.
"Come on, Jon, I'm hungry," she complained.
"Alex, will you go out with me?" I asked hesitantly.
"What was that?" she replied.
"Will you go out with me?" I asked again.
"I can't seem to hear you, speak up," she ordered, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Will you go out with me?" I asked, practically shouting. I heard the whole camp stop talking and swivel their heads towards us.
"You don't have to shout," she replied still joking, and then she said in a whisper, "of course I will."
AN: Okay, well end of story and a new one may come out soon because I already have the idea for it and it's been in my head for like month now, but I still have finals and all that crap.
