Okay, so I feel like I've tortured you long enough. I was actually only planning to hold you off for a week, but I hit a writer's block.
Anyways, the Greek wife has been decided, thanks to percyolympian, the wife is… Piper! Congrats, Piper!
Now, for the long awaited release of chapter three…
The twin arrows flew towards the muscles on the back of Luke's legs. They hit their targets, and the traitor fell, he struggled to get up, but couldn't, the arrows had hit a special muscle, one needed to walk.
I slowly walked over, willing water from a nearby lake in my hand. It formed a trident, and I merged it with my ring.
There was a flash of green over my head and people gasped, but I didn't pay attention to it. My focus was turned to Luke, who was trying in vain to crawl away.
I started stretching into my 6 foot 4 form, and slammed the butt of my trident against Luke's back. Everyone around me was in utter silence.
"Speak Traitor! Confess of your crimes!" I growled in that deep, godlike voice.
I flipped him over and took him by the collar of his shirt. He said nothing.
"Speak!" I growled again, pressing my trident into his neck. "I know you work for Kronos, worm! Confess now, tell your people of your betrayal, of your treachery. Of your thievery! Of your intentions!"
"You're a god!" someone from behind me yelled.
I ignored them, searching Luke's mind and forcing him to tell me.
"I am Kronos' loyal servant," he finally croaked out.
"I'm aware of that," I said, digging the trident into his neck so that it drew a small amount of blood.
"I hate the gods, they don't care for us, their children. I stole Zeus' bolt, and Hades' helm, it would have started a war. A war that would have ended the Olympians. Then Kronos would come back, and he would rule!"
Then suddenly, there was a loud boom, and all of the Olympians flashed in front of me.
"Put down my son, whoever you are!" Hermes yelled at me.
"And you stop yelling at mine!" My father yelled back at Hermes.
"You! You broke the oath Poseidon!" Zeus gasped astonished.
"No shit!" Apollo sarcastically commented. "Wait, that means… My telling… Arty! No! Not my little sis!"
"First of all, I am not your 'little sis'. Second of all, he is my son. Third, SHUT UP!" My mother shouted at Apollo.
"Artemis! Poseidon! You had a child! The child! He must be cast into Tartarus right away!" Zeus yelled.
"You won't touch him." My father muttered darkly, taking his trident out.
"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" I roared, shaking Luke a bit. "This is a traitor who has stolen the master bolt and the helm of darkness! He has been working to bring back Kronos, to destroy us! He must pay!"
"Tell them, Luke, tell them." I commanded.
I turned him around to face the Olympians, and he retold his confession.
By the end, thunder was booming, and the campers had long since run away out of terror. I could feel it.
"He's telling the truth," Apollo said sadly, patting a distraught Hermes on the back.
"Ares, hand over the symbols of power. I know Luke gave them to you." I said, lowering Luke to the ground still with the trident at his neck.
Ares' fear spiked up, and he began to sweat.
"Give them up Ares, you know you have them."
I shot up his fear and my intimidation, and he begrudgingly produced a backpack.
"Zeus, take your bolt," I told him, "HADES! I CALL UPON YOU FROM THE UNDERWORLD TO RETRIEVE YOUR HELM! CLAIM IT NOW!"
Zeus glared at me, and took his bolt. And just as he was about to aim it at me, a crack split from the ground; and out rose Hades, god of the dead.
"My helm!" he exclaimed as he picked it up from the ground. "Who stole it? They shall suffer my wrath!"
"Lord Hades." I bowed, careful not to skewer Luke. "The thief is Luke Castellan."
"Who are you?" Hades asked.
"Perseus." I answered. "Now the life of the traitor shall end, for he attempted to end all of ours, he deserves death."
"No, please, he didn't mean it!" Hermes begged.
I entered his mind, and showed him of what Luke had done.
"How could you?" He asked Luke, disgusted with his son.
Luke didn't answer, but instead proceeded to curse Hermes in Greek.
"Luke Castellan! Prepare to enter the fields of punishment! For that is what you deserve." Hades told him, stepping forward and putting him on his knees
"You will all fall, you Olympic bastards! Kronos will rise!" He yelled.
"Hermes, turn away, no father should watch the execution of his son." I told the god of thieves.
"I see no son here. Not anymore," Hermes replied coldly, and I could understand his emotion, immense disappointment.
"Goodbye, traitor," Hades whispered as he snapped Luke's neck.
And so the life of Luke Castellan ended.
"Now your life shall end, bastard child of Artemis and Poseidon!" Zeus told me as he threw his master bolt at me.
Instinctively, I turned the Oceanic Glass into armor, and melded it with the fur. My trident turned into Bane, and I dodged.
The wind picked up, it got really hot, and I caught on fire.
I didn't even really think about it, but I was surrounded by flame. It didn't hurt at all, but I bet it looked really cool.
Zeus tried to charge at me, but I used the earth and air to slow him down, and the natural water in the air to freeze his brain.
He fell on his knees, and started begging, pleading to keep his throne. The dick didn't even care about his life in general, just his damn throne.
"Zeus, King of Skies you shall be no more! Your tyranny will end! Is there any who oppose to the banishment and death of Zeus?" I asked in that godly voice.
Not a single god raised their hand.
"I am not without mercy, Zeus, but you are. Look into my eyes and I shall see what I will do," I told him.
I saw terrible things in that gods mind. Raping's, killing of his illegitimate children, murder, and trickery a plenty, and he never felt remorse.
"Zeus, for your crimes against humanity, you shall die. And may you never reform to torture the world again." I said gripping Bane tighter, and aiming a course for his heart.
I plunged Bane into Zeus, and I watched as he dissolved into a cloud of gray dust, and then nothing.
Everyone was in shock. The rein of Zeus was over. They could all start anew. Do what they willed, spend time with their children… The possibilities were limitless.
Suddenly, there was a noise like rushing wind, and the gray dust floated to me and sank into my skin, giving me all of the powers and knowledge of Zeus.
Apollo was the first to recover.
"The old king is dead! All hail the new king, Perseus! As the telling foretold, he shall lead us into the light! Long live the king!"
He walked towards me and touched my forehead.
"All hail the king!" He chanted.
A crown of silver and emeralds appeared on my head, and I bowed low to the Olympians.
"I accept your crowning. And I thank you, and promise on my immortal life that I shall never be unjust or unfair to any. May this be a new age of prosperity!" I said respectively, with my fist over my heart.
And when I looked up, I met the beautiful blue eyes of the goddess, Aphrodite. My heart filled with joy, and leaped with excitement.
"Long live the king," she whispered breathlessly.
Ok, I know it was really sucky compared to other chapters, but it's like 4 in the morning right now. I just wanted to get the chapter out.
