Summer Solstice
Olympus, 600th Floor Empire State Building
The Olympian Council was gathered in the Throne room with most of the Minor gods and peaceful Titans, as well as the cabin counsellors from camp Half-Blood. As the meeting neared the intermediate break for lunch there was the sound of an explosion happening outside the Council Chambers, before anyone could react Percy launched himself off the back of his father's throne, where he had been napping, and through the two large doors in a blur of silver. Reyna's own golden flash only moments behind, when the two stepped out into the noon day sun, they saw a sight that filled them with fear.
"Percy is that who I think it is," Reyna asked with just a small tremble to her voice?
"If you think that it is Oceanus and Tethys, titan of the ocean and sea, then you are correct." Percy responded, before him stood two hideous creatures the man stood at nearly eight feet tall his skin green and his hair resembling rotting seaweed with two bull horns protruding from his scalp. The woman was nearly as tall and had hair much the same, however her skin was an inky blue like the depths of the sea, but the truly horrifying part of both was their eyes, eyes filled with hatred and rage.
"It was not very wise of you to come here Oceanus," Percy stated, "you are too weak from the war to face the entirety of the council."
"Aw but we won't be facing them, we will be killing their champions, slowly and painfully!" Oceanus sneered at Percy, who looked behind him to see Amphitrite and Triton barring the doors to the Throne room so that no help from the gods would be coming.
"Traitors!" Reyna spat over her shoulder before drawing her two golden cavalry swords as she charged towards the Titaness and engaging her in combat. Sword to hunting knives, Tethys was quick and strong, but Reyna was faster soon she had scored a large cut on the side of Tethys's head. While this fight was going on the Titan of the Ocean was facing off against the Heir of the Moon.
Percy had drawn his trusty sword, Riptide, and aegis to square off against the Titans serpentine harpoon, as Percy neared the Titan, Oceanus dove forward attempting to drive his harpoon through the heart of Olympus's Savior. With a clang, Percy redirected the spear, causing it to punch deeply into the Olympian marble, and slid his sword up the shaft to slice a deep gouge into the arm of the Titan. After several minutes of fighting, Percy and Reyna ended up standing side by side before the Throne Room doors, both panting hard and wearily watching the two immortals.
"Percy, we're not strong enough to kill them, you're stronger than me if the moon took over you could have enough strength to protect Olympus." Reyna said while catching her breath.
"No! Reyna we promised Helios and Selene to never do that, at least not until we are fully immortal. You know if we do that if we do cause an eclipse it could result in your death." Percy quickly shot down the idea.
"I'm sorry Percy, but there is no other way. Triton and Amphitrite have the gods trapped and the Titans are too strong for us to take on as is. Now Percy do it now."
"I won't, I can't"
"You must that is an order Perseus Achilles Jackson, you promised to always listen to my orders in the field."
"I'm sorry" Percy said before raising his hands to the sky as his body began to glow with a bright silver light as a shadow began to cross over the sun. It barely took a minute before the world was plunged into darkness the only light being the now orange like aura surrounding the only demigod of Poseidon.
As his aura flare Percy drew riptide and charged the two Titans, however when his first strike was blocked by both titans weapons the sword shattered, a bright blue light flying from the sword and through the throne room doors, while Percy just stared in shock at a sword that had been through so much.
"Ha! I knew that curse would be helpful!" Oceanus crowed before stalking towards his foe intent on ending the young immortal teen's short life. As the harpoon neared his heart, Percy lowered head shot up as his hands drew two silver hunting knives. With a flick of his wrist he deflected the weapon and caused the large titan to stumble forward, opening his defense for Percy to slam both knives through his chest and causing Oceanus to fade away in a breeze of Golden dust.
"I'll kill you!" Tethys roared as she charged towards the demigod only to have a blast of silver energy knock her on her butt. As she began to stand up she was slammed back into the ground as the same blades that had ended her husband were drove to the hilt in her chest.
As Tethys drifted away, Percy let go of his hold on the Moon letting sunshine break through over Olympus, he shot two lightning bolts at the Traitorous queen and prince of Atlantis on his way to check on Reyna.
"Oh gods, Reyna, I'm so so sorry!" Percy choked out as he arrived at her side, she was lying on the ground and her skin was paler than Hades at this point.
"It's O.K. Perce, I knew the risk but chose to do it anyways," Reyna rasped, "Now take my hand."
"No, Rey, you will be fine, Apollo will heal you," Percy pleaded.
"It's my time to go, NOW TAKE MY HAND," Reyna stated, once Percy complied both teens began to glow in a harsh golden light. Slowly the light faded from Reyna, but became more powerful around Percy until finally only the Son of the Sea was glowing in a bright golden light, and Percy knew then that Reyna had passed on.
Later that Day
Olympus, 600th floor Empire State Building
The gods had once again gathered in the Throne room, to discuss the ramifications of the battle that had taken place earlier in the day.
"Poseidon, what will you do now that your ex-wife and son are in Tartarus?" Questioned the King of Olympus.
Poseidon sighed before responding, "Atlantis must have a queen, however I have time before a queen must be crowned, however for the Prince of the Seas. I Poseidon, Eldest son of Kronos, God of the Seas, and King of Atlantis declare you Perseus Achilles Jackson, Son of Poseidon, Heir to the Moon, Champion and Savior of Olympus, Bane of Kronos, and Slayer of Monsters the crown prince of Atlantis and the Seas!"
"Thank you father," Percy said once the sea green glow faded away from his body, "However you missed one of my more important titles."
"Oh and what title is that?" Ares asked with a sneer.
"Heir of the Sun," Percy said before getting a little choked up and having to stop to clear his throat, "before Reyna passed on to the underworld, she gave unto me the title and power as Heir of the Sun."
"Is there any other information we should know Perseus?" Athena questioned.
Percy thought for a moment before responding, "Not that I can think of, milady."
"Very well council dismissed!" Zeus thundered from his throne before disappearing with a giant flash of lightning.
Ok so it's short, in my defense it is the Holidays.
No onto the questions
What the heck just happened?
Will Reyna Stay dead?
Is Helios now in Percy's head along with Selene?
Is the chapter just a cruel cruel joke?
Who will be Poseidon's new queen?
Who will Percy end up with?
