A/N: Here it is. The final chapter of Athena's Interdimensional Adventure. I hope you like it, and review. I'm sorry it's been a while, but this is the longest chapter I've written for this story, 1,703 words without the Author's notes.

This chapter is dedicated to a new reviewer, Dawnheart. Thanks for reviewing!

"Um . . . I hope you don't mind if I don't bow, or anything," Athena said, staring at the three goddesses in front of her.

Aphrodite laughed, a beautiful sound, Athena thought. "My dear, we have many teenaged children. I'm afraid we have become rather accustomed to backtalk. We don't expect you to bow." Athena had to concede with those points, and she guessed that made sense. Perhaps Rick Riordan had written them with too much of the immortality in mind.

"Why am I here?"

"You are here because it has recently come to my attention that your world has no gods, no Olympus to protect it from otherworldly threats," was Athena's response. "And trust me, they exist. The titans of your world simply haven't had children. But your Earth still needs protecting. Aliens, monsters, giants, all those exist in your world."

"That still doesn't answer my question."

"Athena Fowl," said Athena (the goddess). "You have my name, and you are wise. As wise as an Aeri of you age can be. Not to mention powerful, in you world. Your powers here are not as strong here, because this world is not your own. I have chosen you to be me, in your world."

"Um . . . you've chosen ME to be YOU, in MY world?"

"Darling," Aphrodite said. "That is what she said. And you will still be you, still be Athena Fowl, but you'll be immortal, and you'll have some extra powers. You will not have to conform to the myths or anything like that. Although having someone from this world in your own to help you with questions would probably be useful."

"You're acting like I already accepted," Athena said quietly.

"You haven't told us otherwise. And if you don't, your world will fail and there will be no one to protect it or avenge it, bring it back from its knees. I think you will accept." This was the first time Artemis has spoken, and Athena could see why her adoptive brother was named in her honor. There was a quiet off-handedness about the way she spoke, the surety of Athena's choice.

"I never said I didn't, either," Athena pointed out. "I just don't understand how one person could possibly save the world from all your describing."

"But it won't be just one person darling," Aphrodite looked at her in surprise. "Three of you are already here. Your brother Artemis-" Athena cut her off. "Yeah, about that, you do know he's male, right? There's very little chance he could be Artemis . . . is there?"

"Almost none," Artemis agreed. "He's actually Hermes, but I don't mind when a male of his kind (that is to say exceedingly intelligent) is given my name. But Hermes is also god of knowledge and slyness, thieves and travelers. I do believe that fits your brother."

"Sure," Athena muttered. Then a grin split her face. "I get to call him 'Hermes!'"

"Call who Hermes?"

Athena jumped at the voice behind her. "I thought you were with Foaly and Annabeth!?"

Her brother shrugged. "I got a feeling, like I should come find you. And . . . I guess I did." He gazed at the goddesses with his cool blue and hazel eyes. "Who are your new friends?"

"Um . . . this is my mother, and Ladies Artemis and Athena," Trevor said, as if feeling left out of the conversation. "They've been explaining the fact that your world needs immortal gods to protect it, and that they've chosen Athena to be Athena and you to be Hermes."

"Isn't he god of travelers and thieves?"

"Also of knowledge and slyness, among other things," said Artemis (the goddess).

Arty wrinkled his nose a bit. "Alright. But . . . we're not immortal."

"We will make you immortal."

"Does Zeus know about this?" Trevor asked his mother, who smiled.

"Only we are aware. Athena found out, actually. What Air-head doesn't know won't kill him. You three will be the first gods in your world."

"Wait . . . us three? You mean, Trevor's coming with us?" Athena looked sideways at the boy, who still held her hand in something of a death-grip.

"Of course. You'll need a Cupid, and I couldn't let my gifted son loose the only girl he'll ever love," Aphrodite chirped. Athena froze. She turned to face Trevor as he slipped his hand from hers, using it to hide his face, which was probably turning a deep beet-red.

"Oh . . ." She said stupidly. "So . . . I'm your girl . . ." suddenly everything made a lot more sense. Well, not everything, but a lot of things. The way he'd seemed so fascinated with her, although she was a total stranger. The way he refused to tell her who his girl was, but consented to let her guess, knowing full well that she would never in a million years guess herself. Trevor peeked out from between his fingers, and Athena caught a glimpse of glowing red cheeks before he buried his face back in his hands. Athena wasn't sure what possessed her, but she took a few steps forward, and hugged him. It was . . . a little awkward. She hadn't hugged many people since her little brother had been killed. But it wasn't really awkward for long, because Trevor was suddenly hugging her back. Athena guessed that it would be hard for anyone else to understand how . . . big this felt for her. After all, they weren't kissing or anything. But . . . oh gods, it had been so long since she had held someone, and not just been held.

There was a sound behind her, and Athena untangled her arms from around Trevor to glare at her brother. "In case you weren't listening, we're about to be turned immortal." Oh, right. Become a goddess and all that.

"We're ready," she said, with as much confidence as she could muster.

"Before we turn you immortal and send you on your way, there is a task we need to give you," said Artemis (the goddess). "Athena, you know of the cloths given to you by my sister earlier to you on this day?" Gods . . . had all this been one day? There was just no way.

"Yes."

"The pendant, there will be other children, other people in your world with something like it. They are the other gods. It is impossible to misplace the pendants, so you need not worry about that. But they may not all have them yet. They need to be proved worthy both of their powers and the trust that is placed in them."

"So . . . you want us to find these other kids and make them immortal too?"

"Yes, Hermes."

"My name is not Hermes."

"It is now," Artemis said with a shrug. "I would rather a male use my name as little as possible, even if he is as worthy as you. And one more thing. You may not tell your fairy friends about this."

"Why not?" asked Athena, her brow furrowing in confusion. "They could help against those threats you talked about."

"No, they couldn't, but they, like you, would think they could. And therein lies the problem."

"So they can't help?"

"They would get themselves killed trying. Plus, this must remain as secret as possible, and the fairies are not immune to corruption by any means."

"You mean we can't even tell Holly?" Arty seemed a little put-out by that. "She came through the portal with me, I think it would be only fair to tell her what was going on."

"I think it will be difficult to keep it from your friend," Artemis agreed. "She is an intelligent girl. But be careful not to let any fairy, excluding your friend Holly, and maybe your centaur friend, know. It is very possible they will resent your total immortality, and try to harm and those you love because of it." Athena glanced at her brother, and knew that they were both thinking the same thing. Teya, Opal, and Ark Sool. All of those other-worldly beings were likely to do just that if they ever found out.

"We'll try," Artemis said. "But knowing our luck . . . we won't be able to for long."

"You know, once you find Tyche, luck will be on your side," Aphrodite pointed out.

"Can we go now?" Trevor seemed very fidgety, as if he was nervous. "If I'm right, you chose today because it's a solar eclipse, and hopefully Zeus will be too preoccupied with Apollo to notice three mortals becoming immortal. And the eclipse is reaching its zenith."

The goddess Athena looked at the boy appraisingly. "You must have been paying visits to my cabin," she said.

"Actually, not really. The whole camp's been talking about it. You know . . . Artemis overshadowing Apollo and all that," he said, winking at Artemis. "I actually think that's kinda cool, by the way."

"Thank you, young man, and you are correct. We must hurry. We will immortalize you, and send you home at the same time. Your friends will be with you, and Kayla will be sent back to camp half-blood. You will never be able to return, Trevor, and will be presumed dead. Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah, sure. I will be, won't I? Dead, mean. I'm never coming back. I've had my fair share of time here, and I knew I'd be leaving. Kayla would understand."

"A wise choice," murmured Athena (the goddess). "This will hurt, but should be over quickly." The three goddesses raised their hands, and suddenly Athena found herself engulfed in golden light.

The goddess had been right, it did hurt. A lot. Like she was being stung all over, like wasps were crawling over her skin. Her veins felt like fire, and she wanted to scream so badly, but she couldn't. She was pretty sure she couldn't even breathe. But suddenly as it had come, it went. Athena was in a clearing, laying on her back in the thin layer of cold snow. "Ow," was the only thing she said before she lapsed into unconsciousness.

A/N: There. It's done. There will most likely be a sequel . . . ? Maybe? Tell me if you want one. It may have to wait a few weeks, (7) 'till summer vacation starts so I have time, but maybe. Review? Please?
