Percy Jackson and the sword of chaos
Chapter 2
Percy tried to talk but no words came out. He couldn't believe it; he had just woken up from a two week coma and then finds out that Annabeth was killed.
"How?" he managed to stutter.
"She was killed by Gaea who was trying to get to you." Apollo said nervously.
He probably didn't know whether or not I would go on a rampage.
But I simply nodded because I was too weak to do anything else. Then the tears came, I just realised that Annabeth had died.
At night I couldn't sleep, all I could do was lay in the Olympus infirmary and cry my eyes out silently until no more tears came.
The next day I got an iris message. It was from Nico. I didn't notice him at first but when I did my eyes widened.
Nico looked like he had been crying.
"Hey" he stuttered.
"Hi" I managed.
"Im guessing you know about-"
"Yeah." I cut him off. I didn't need to hear the news again.
"I made sure that she was put straight in Elysium."
"Thanks." I said before almost breaking down again.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yea, Apollo said I can leave tomorrow." I said trying to be cheerful but failing miserably.
"Do you want to meet up sometime?" he said.
But before I could answer the image started to fade.
"Please insert another drachma for five more minutes" said the voice of Iris.
The image stopped fading and came back into focus.
"Thanks." I said.
"So do you want to catch up sometime?"
"Sure!" I said.
The next day when I was let out by Apollo, Zeus summoned me.
"Yes my Lord?" I said in the throne room, bowing.
"Rise young hero." He said and I stood up.
"What do you request that I do Zeus?" I said nervously.
"No, the question is what do you request of us?"
"I don't understand" I said.
"For helping us in the giant war in which it would have been impossible to win without you" Zeus said. "For this we offer you a spot in the council." Zeus stated half-heartedly.
"What about the balance of the council?" I asked.
"Hestia will be added also." He replied.
"I am sorry to turn down you generous gift but I give my throne to Hades. But I want Hestia to keep her throne though"
"Fine" Zeus grumbled.
Hestia and Hades flashed into the council and thrones began forming out of their essence. Hestia smiled warmly at me and Hades tried to smile warmly.
"Is there anything else you want Perseus?" Zeus said.
"One more thing"
