Nothing Is More Powerful Than Love

A/N: Sorry that I didn't update this sooner. Due to the horrible weather some people have been getting, I've been having some problems with the internet. My computer is still having internet problems. So, I'll have no problem typing my fanfictions, but it's gonna be a pain in the ass trying to update them. I'll try my best, but I can't really promise anything. Here's chapter 19.

Percy's POV

I was looking at my enemy's necklace, with The Sword of Olympus at her throat, trying to figure out why I couldn't deliver the final blow. I saw a gold object, a ring and as soon as I saw it, my memories were all coming back to me. From the day I found out that I am a half-blood, to the day I married Annabeth. I flinched as I realized I was pointing The Sword of Hades at my wife. I could see her eyes looking at mine; her eyes were red and filled with tears. While I was still shocked at what was happening right now, Kronos appeared right next to me on the left.

"Perseus, what are you doing? Finish her off, finish her now. KILL HER!" He commanded.

"I – I will kill – kill you!" I stuttered.

Before Kronos had the chance to defend himself or even react, I was able to deliver to him a deep cut. It went from his left shoulder, to the right side of his waist. It was a good thing I used The Sword of Olympus on him instead of any other sword. As you've already learned, The Sword of Olympus was made to destroy anything, and by that, I mean no mortal, demigod, monster, or even god, titan, or giant can withstand this blades power. Once you are severely injured by this blade, then you automatically die. By doing this to Kronos, the Olympians will never have to or hear from him ever again. How you may ask, when mortal, demigods, and monsters die, they all have souls, so we all go to another place. But, when a god, titan, or giant dies, they don't have souls. So when they die, its oblivion, they die as if they were never born in the first place. With that being said, I have utterly finished off Kronos, and no one will suffer from his wrath ever again.

He bellowed in pain, but there wasn't any blood coming from his cut at all. Instead, something else happened, something I had to admit wasn't the way I'd expect The Sword of Hades to do. From his cut, his body was turning to stone, kind of like how you do if you look at a gorgon in the eyes. He tried to use his power to stop himself from dying, but it was no use. He just kept turning into stone. There was nothing he could do to save himself this time.

His body was now nothing more but a statue. When his body was done turning into a statue, the statue automatically began to crack and crumble. Then, it automatically demolished into a pile of rubble, dust, and stone pieces. After that death scene, I turned at Calypso to see her staring at me with awe and disbelief.

"No! Percy, my hero, what have you done?" Calypso asked me.

"Listen Calypso, and get this in your head." My tone and temper have really been pushed beyond my limits.

"I only love you as a friend." I tried to calm myself down.

"Percy, I have let a lot of heroes and loves leave me, I just didn't want it to happen again." She explained between sobs.

"I understand, but I already love someone, my best friend, my wife, and my soul-mate, Annabeth Minerva Jackson."

I looked at my wife who was still kneeling on the ground, her face with clear shock and pure joy at the same time. Her eyes were stilled with tears; I just hoped that that these ones were tears of joy. I turned back to Calypso and tried to comfort her.

"You'll find someone, someone who won't leave you, someone who will love like how I love Annabeth; you just need to keep looking." I said.

She just nodded and left, leaving me and Annabeth alone. Man, after what I did, she probably wouldn't want me anymore. I would even understand if she wanted a divorce, even though what I did was completely against my will. I slowly went to her and offered her a hand, even though I wasn't sure if would accept it or not.

"Um, hi Annabeth." I blurted out, my hand still outstretched to her.

She completely ignored my hand and jumped at me, pinning me to the ground.

"Oh, Percy! It's you! You're back! You came back to me!" She exclaimed, pure happiness within her voice.

She hugged me like there was no tomorrow and she wouldn't stop planting kisses all over my face.

"Nice to see you too Annabeth." I said.

That was the only thing I could say at this moment. I didn't bother thinking about anything, I probably couldn't anyways since I can barely speak with Annabeth suffocating me by hugging me.

Oh Percy, I thought I lost you." She said, tears forming in her eyes again, she looks cute when she cries.

But, she's a lot better looking when she's happy, or kissing me for that fact. Her mood quickly changed and she was all of a sudden angry with me, which I wasn't surprised with, but surprised she wasn't going to kill me.

"PERSEUS JACKSON, HOW DARE YOU CHEAT ON ME!" She yelled at me while giving me one huge death glare.

"Annabeth, I'm really sorry. It wasn't my fault. Kronos had some spell on me and he forced me to do it." I tried to explain myself; facing an angry Annabeth is one of my toughest challenges EVER.

"Don't lie to me! I know you wanted to out and have sex with another woman." She said defiantly.

"It's because you've grown tired of me isn't it?" She asked, tears reforming in her eyes yet again. I cupped my hands to each side of her face and looked straight into her stormy gray eyes.

" I have never grown tired of you, and I never will. There's no one that I can possibly love the way I love you. Please don't leave Annabeth, I love you." I tried to soothe her. She just laid her on my shoulder and let all of her tears out.

"I know Percy, it's just that I dreamed of you having sex with her, and even kissed her deeply. All of those things hurt me more than all the scars you inflicted on me." She cleared up.

"I'm sorry Annabeth. I swear on the River Styx, I will never hurt you ever again." I promised as thunder rolled off in a distance.

She smiled and closed the gap between our heads and kissed me passionately, it was like she was trying to replace the passion Calypso gave me with her own passion. I'm very happy to say that she succeeded. We only stop when we really needed some air. We just stared at each other in the eyes for a little while.

"I love you Annabeth, now and forever." I said to her with all of my heart.

"I love you too Percy and I love you for all eternity. She replied to me.

We left Kronos' fortress and the now demolished pile of Kronos' statue and went back Rachel and Annabeth's camp hand in hand. There weren't any monsters we had to fight either. The only I could assume is that me destroying Kronos must have automatically destroyed all of his servants as well. Rachel saw us and the face of worry she had was replaced with a face of joy.

"Welcome back!" She said and hugged me.

I tentatively looked at Annabeth at my side, but instead of her usual reactions with Rachel, She just smiled. That meant they were friends now, which I was very surprised at. Rachel started to kiss my cheeks, my nose, and my forehead. Annabeth intervened and pulled Rachel off of me.

"We may be friends now Rachel, but can't just go around kissing my husband like that." Annabeth said with a slight hiss in her voice.

'That's more like it.' I thought to myself and I couldn't help but smile at this moment.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry Annabeth. It's just I'm so happy that my friend, your husband is alive and well." She said with mischief in her voice and started laughing. I couldn't help but laugh with, and neither could Annabeth.

"I guess we should we should head back to camp." Rachel suggested.

"I'll IM Chiron and get him to send Blackjack and Porkpie to get us." Annabeth added.

Chiron saw me through the Iris Message and congratulated me in coming back. Chiron was a little too busy to keep up our conversation, but I knew we were gonna be talking a lot when we get home. Just as Rachel and Annabeth were packing all their stuff up, we saw two brilliant flashes of light. To my surprise they were both Poseidon and Athena. I was surprised to see them together and not arguing or trying to kill each other. The three of us bowed to them as they approached us.

"Welcome back my son." My dad said as he hugged me.

"I see you won us a very great victory. Thanks to Percy, Olympus will never have any titans trying to destroy it ever again. I knew you wouldn't let my daughter down." Athena said to me knowingly as she hugged me. Man, how many more surprises are these people gonna throw at me.

"Thank you, but in all honesty, all the credit should go to Annabeth and Rachel. Without them, I would still be a puppet in Kronos' sick game." I explained. I really didn't want any glory or wealth. Rachel and Annabeth deserved it all just as much as I did.

"Yes, of course, my son." Poseidon said.

"Well, Poseidon and I should head back to Olympus. The other Olympian gods will be overjoyed to hear the oblivion of Kronos." Said Athens with superiority in her voice. And just like that, Poseidon and Athena left us alone. We packed everything up and the two Pegasi landed near to the camp just in time.

'Hey boss, glad your back." Said Blackjack.

"Me too buddy, me too." I said to Blackjack. Rachel rode on Porkpie while Annabeth rode with me on Blackjack.

"I'm really glad we're back together again Percy." Annabeth whispered to me, her blond hair waving in the wind.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." I replied to her and kissed her while we were still flying. I think we kissed until we landed back at camp. Don't ask me how we on Blackjack's back, let's just say years of practice really helps. I looked at the view of Camp Half-Blood were the Pegasi landed us.

"It's good to be home." I whispered to myself, while I placed my hand on Annabeth's waist and she leaned on me.

I'm very lucky to still have some access to the internet, otherwise, you wouldn't see any more updates from me. I really pray that none of you out there have internet problems just as much as I do. The next chapter, chapter 20, will be the last chapter. The final chapter will be entitled A New Miracle For A Demigod. Can anybody guess what this chapter will be referring to? Hopefully someone will be able to figure it out before I post the final chapter. By the way, if you haven't yet, check out the new fanfiction I stared a few days ago: The Joys of Memory Loss. Only the third day, and it has 6 reviews, 5 favors, and 11 followers, which is a little more than what I was expecting for the first few days. Anyways, see if can figure out what A New Miracle For A Demigod will represent, and check out The Joys of Memory Loss. Can't wait to see the results. See you.
