„NO!" Was yelled from somwhere as I looked around I saw Artemis there under the sky trapped. Her knees were shaking from pressure and stress from holding it up for days.
„Don't you dare do this Perceus Jackson, you can't die beacause of him beacause if you die I will personally drag you to the fields of punishments for all of eternety if you do this..."
She probably would have kept screaming had she not been slapped by Atlas.
„Shut up you screaming banchee bitch now shall we do this or not little demigod are you ready to fight the being so dangerous that the gods made me carry the sky up all by my self beacause I am."
Atlas boomed with his deep voice wich again seemed to make the earth shake a little.
„Oh absoulutly but how about we make things a little interesting?"
„I am listening"
„Well, how about a simple little bet. If I win you have to take Artemis's place under the sky again but if you win well you can do what ever you want with me with out resistance from me or anyone else. But you must swear on the styx that you will do this. Just as I will, I swear on the styx to abide by the deal I just proposed if my opponent agrees."
I said as thunder boomed above.
After he did his and thunder was heard we took our stance and began our duel I just thanked every god, titan, and everyone else that my energy was at it's peak or this would have been a short fight and mind you I like my freedom.
We drew our weapons, I drew only my sword Clockwork but not my shield beacause some thing told me I was gonna need both hands on the grip at times.
Atlas on the other hand drew a huge mace atleast 1,2 meters (by comparison a normal man is usually about 1.8-2 meters).
It was I who took the first strike going for an mid chest strike from the right only to be parred and countered with a blow to my side sending me soaring a bit.
„If this is all you can do then you could just as well surrender to me now"
Atlas taunted me trying to get a rise out of me.
„No."
I rose up and went for an hit using my ability over time making him slow down but sadly that only made him equal to my speed due him having been a titan.
As we parred, blocked, dodged and swung our weapons at each other I could feel my friends support all the way altough they didn't voice it probably due to trying to keep up with us I was thankfull for it none the less.
I went for a strike at his thigh wich he failed to evade drawing out his golden blood.
But all it did was to make him angrier and boy oh boy did it make him angrier.
„You will pay for that you little shit no one makes me draw blood ecspecially not some worthless half god."
„He went so fast that even with my power slowing him down I couldn't see the mace before it hit me straight in the chest sending me flying backwards straight in to a pile of rocks.
„See what happens when you try to mess with a titan ecspecially one as strong as me now you will suffer the same fate..."
He trailed of as he noticed me comming around.
„You will not threaten my friends. No one ever threatens my friends."
I had never fellt this power before I fellt like I was going to burst. I had no control and I ran at him but he must have been waiting for it beacause before I know it he races his mace and throws it at Zoe and before I can think I slam my self into Zoe just as the mace was about to hit her.
It hit me instead in the left side of my head and the last thing I remember before everything goes black is Artemis shooting arrows at Atlas towards the sky where none other than Clarisse is holding up the sky.
