A/n- thanks for the reviews, they are making me feel so much better. =) Do you want to know what Alyssia's power is? Are you sure you can handle it? Okay, if you're sure. Here's the next chapter. =)
Annabeth's POV
I looked at Nico for a few seconds before I took a deep breath and asked, "What is her power?"
Nico sighed and started in. "Aly and Mason use both their wisdom and control over water to use your body against you. Aly uses water in both the blood and body to control you. It isn't easy to do. Not just any child of Poseidon can do that without causing harm to their selves, so don't think about using Percy," Nico added. "Aly and Mason have risked their lives by using that method. They can control whatever they please, mortals, half-bloods, and even monsters. The one thing that they can't control is the gods since gods don't have water in their bodies."
I sat stunned, not a single half-blood in history has had that kind of power over most living things. "So the more they practice, the more often they can do it, right?" I asked.
"Exactly. It's just like every time you train, you get stronger; and can train for longer than the day before. Just like training, the more often they use this control, the stronger they become. When they become stronger, the more often they can use it. They can use it four times a day without killing themselves. Well, four times if they kill their enemy quickly. If Aly wants to toy with you, she can easily control you up to thirty minutes at a time without getting tired," Nico nodded.
Nico's POV
I left because it looked like they need time to talk about what I just told them. I know I shouldn't have told them exactly what she could do, but they deserved to know. The Fates were probably very angry at me right now, but everything is going to go according to their plans.
I sat down in the shadows as my cabin was being built. I watched silently, thinking of how Thalia was doing. I was lost in my own thought until a strike of lightning hit my head. I growled under my breath. Why can Zeus read my thoughts? It was so unfair. I don't see why I keep getting zapped by lightning for thinking about her. Damn lightning, I hate you, I thought just as I got zapped again. You know it isn't like I would ever have her so why zap me? I knew she was happy with the Hunters, and if she was happy I was happy for her. I felt another zap. I wondered how long this was going to go on for, until I realized that Thalia was sitting quietly behind me.
"Thalia!" I muttered in utter disbelief.
"I was wondering how many times I had to zap you before you figured out it was me," she laughed. "What did you think it was my dad reading your thoughts again?" she smiled.
"Maybe," I laughed. "You know there is a different way of getting some ones attention. A way that doesn't include lightning bolts."
She laughed. "Yes, but this way is so much fun. It looked like you were deep in thought," she added.
"Yeah," I agreed. "A lot of things are going on."
"What kind of things," this time she didn't laugh, but instead was serious. I sat there and explained everything I knew about Mason and Alyssia. I didn't leave anything out. She sat there for a few minutes before saying, "You shouldn't have told them Alyssia's power."
"Why?" I glanced at her for the first time since I started my speech. I saw those wonderful electric eyes and that spiky hair. Snap out of it, I ordered myself.
"Because you said it yourself, they can try to defy the Fates," Thalia wacked me in the back of the head. Okay, I guess I deserved that. I didn't think about that. I cursed in Ancient Greek and mentally slapped myself.
"Maybe this is the course that the Fates planned on. Why would both of us have dreams about them if this wasn't the course that the Fates wanted them to take? The Fates have everything planned and they make sure that their plans are always carried out. It doesn't matter if Percy and Annabeth break up from the news that their children will be murderers that are wanted dead by every god, the Fates will have their ways," I argued.
Thalia sat deep in thought, and then muttered, "As long as these kids are born, the balance of the world won't be thrown off."
I was confused. "What balance are you talking about?"
"Well you said you have been having dreams that say that World War III will start in your lifetimes. This war will be a war as epic as the Trojan War is the plan of the Fates. We both understand that history repeats itself. World War III will be the repeat of the Trojan War. These two kids are destined to end the war or start a new world under the power of your soon to be brother, Miles Taylor. Alyssia is the person to change the course of this war just as Achilles was the only person to change the course of the Trojan War," Thalia explained. How she was so knowledgeable about a War that hasn't even occurred was beyond me.
I sat there thinking about what role Alyssia would be during the war. She was deceitful, hypnotizing, persuasive, and very dangerous just as Achilles had been. Achilles had been dipped in the River Styx to make him stronger, but Alyssia has not been. She should never be dipped in the River Styx because it would make her even stronger. No one could get within ten feet of her without being killed. Mason could protect her only so much. She had a weak spot that Mason would protect. But as she grew stronger, she wouldn't need Mason as much. Could this girl really be Achilles? Could she change the ending of the war?
I hear footsteps getting distant, so I guess that Thalia had walked off to leave me in thought. I sat there for hours more, thinking of every possible way that World War III would be the replica of the Trojan War. I thought about Achilles' role and what role Alyssia would play in this war. I knew I could never tell Percy and Annabeth of their children's doomed fate.
A/n- Hmm, how did you like. Please review. I think I am going to change the summary because it really isn't all about Percy and Annabeth getting together anymore. But anyways, review. It'll make my day =)
