This is gonna be a short chapter, sorry it's mostly filler, I never get the time to work on these nowadays...
Third POV:
"Marry me"
Annabeth got wide eyed as she stared into Percy's eyes, trying to find any playfulness or anything that would show he's joking.
"Are you joking?" she even asked.
Percy shook his head, no.
Annabeth stared at him blankly and then grabbed a fist full of his shirt, pulling him down and kissing him senseless. She hadn't said a word, but this was all Percy needed as answer. Without her noticing, he took the ring that had been weighing down in his pocket and slipped it onto her finger.
"I love you" she mumbled breathlessly against his lips.
"I love you too, soon-to-be Mrs. Jackson" he replied causing Annabeth to grin so hard it looked like it hurt and pull him down by the back of his neck to kiss him again.
She still hadn't noticed the ring on her finger as it sparkled with a black band, a big sea green gem surrounded by smaller silver ones (AN: I put a pretty similar one on my profile, the colors aren't exact but the design is. It's in the story updates in the bottom of my bio thing.).
She took one of her hands off the back of Percy's neck and grabbed a fistful of his shirt. That hand just so happened to be her left hand, the one where the ring lied peacefully on.
Annabeth slowly and bemusedly pulled away from Percy and looked at her hand. "It's beautiful," she whispered, "who made it?"
Percy rubbed the back of his neck, "Ash, I've had the ring for a while know but I could never find the right moment to ask. Someone or something always interrupted."
Annabeth felt like she could cry tears of joy, she's engaged! She grabbed Percy by the hair and, let's just say, they made love the rest of the night.
Ω
"There's a spy"
Nico furrowed his eyebrows, "Who could it be?"
"I can't say; they might've somehow infiltrated home base" Ash said.
Nico rolled his eyes, "I doubt it, and didn't you put some protection charm thing on this place?"
Ash shifted uncomfortably, "Yes, but you could never be too sure."
Nico leaned in close, "Tell me."
"Don't tell me what to do."
"Please?"
Ash sighed and pulled him closer with the front of his shirt and muttered into his ear, "Hera."
Nico's eyes widened, "Seriously? You're being legit right now?"
Ash nodded and Nico curiously asked, "Why do you think that?"
Ash shook her head, "Not think, I saw it. Sometimes I get these weird headache things and see something happen in the future. Sometimes it's something that already happened. I know that one already happened because it was on Olympus and looked about the time I yelled at Zeus but everyone was gone being the only difference."
Nico raised an eyebrow, "Why though?"
"Nobody knows that woman's motives, they're all whack."
Nico chuckled remembering what happened about a century ago with Percy and Jason.
Neither of them noticed that Nico was still holding her hand and if either did, they didn't do anything about it.
Ω
"Did it work?" asked Hera staring at her messenger.
"I don't know." the spy admitted.
"What do you mean, you don't know?" Hera shouted incredulously.
"She didn't seem to act out of the ordinary."
"Try getting closer to the soldiers" Hera directed.
"Bu-"
"Go now!" Hera said teleporting her out of Olympus and back to camp.
Ω
Piper walked into the Zeus cabin with Jason. He was about to go shower when she noticed something on his pillow.
"Jason, someone left you a note" she said, picking it up.
Jason came over to me with a confused face and looked at the note. It said:
Jason (or maybe Piper),
I know Reyna has trouble with trusting people and since she doesn't know me… Could you do me a favor and IM RARA to come here with camp Jupiter and tell her to contact her sister, Hylla and possibly bring the Amazons, too? Tell her that I'll explain once they get here. If you know anyone else that could help in this war, tell them to head over here, we need all the help we could get. The enemies have huge numbers. Arrivals start in two days.
~ Ash
Jason sighed and said, "Let's go to the Poseidon cabin, it has the fountain to send the messages."
After having a short chat with Reyna and Frank, they said they'd try to make it in three days tops. Reyna called back saying Hylla will try to do the same with the Amazons.
Jason also preyed that Tempest would assist him during the war.
Ω
Chiron,
This war – as you know – is a huge deal. Could you possible gather the Party Ponies up again as you did during the Battle of Manhattan? I would do it myself but who'd they trust more; some "powerful goddess" that they've never heard of before or one of their fellow brethrens? If you have any other contacts that might help, feel free to call, we need all the help we could get. Arrivals start in two days.
~ Ash
Chiron started IM-ing all possible allies he could think of, telling them to come to Camp Half-Blood in about 2 days and bringing a pack.
Ω
Hecate,
The war is very near and we need your help. You're the goddess of the Mist and magic, right? Before the war takes place, I need you to use the mist to make it seem as if everyone is going on vacation when, in reality, they're going into a panic house shelter you'll make out of magic. Before you refuse, think about it. If we lose this war, you could say goodbye to this precious world you – even if you're a minor goddess – rule to some extent in some categories. The world will end in fire and your only thought will be "I could've done something". IM me if you agree. Arrivals start in two days.
~ Ash
Hecate pursed her lips, help in a war? Or watch the world burn in flames? After thinking of the aftermaths, she decided to help in the war so she created a rainbow and asked for Ash.
Ω
Nemesis,
The war is very near and we need your help. You're the goddess of balance and justice. We need you on our side in order to win. Before you say no or give some crappy excuse, look at the aftermath. If we lose this war, there will be no balance, just fire. Fire as the world burns to ashes. If you say something like you'd like to see that, then, from where? You belong on Earth, you can't wander the universe. If you say yes, then IM me. Arrivals start in two days.
~ Ash
Nemesis sighed, why the Hades not? She decided. She IM-ed Ash and they discussed the preferably time for her to flash into camp.
Ω
Super-sized McShizzle,
Dude, could you somehow contact Tyson and tell him to come to camp with his Cyclops army in two days? I'll explain it later.
~ Ash
Of course I'll do it; you called me by my correct name! This was Leo's motivation to doing his task. He's taking a great liking to Ash – as a friend.
Ω
Praetors Frank and Reyna,
There's another war coming, and it's huge. Could you bring backup to CHB in two days? I'll explain later, it's urgent.
~ Ash
"Reyna" Frank pointed to the note.
"I know, Jason IMed me."
As I said, Annabeth didn't say yes. Hate me? Love me? Fight me. Do your worst.
I'm not as think as you drunk I am ~ my favorite line from P!atd.
Just so you know, most of these are prewritten, this is from 12/30/15
Sorry, this chapter was more of a filler chapter and it's the shortest yet.
Review, spread the word, do whatever, flames will be laughed at.
Ω Yours in demigodishness and all that, peace out Ω
