The battle was raging.

It seemed as if the titans were going to win as they overpowered the Olympians. A scream was heard throughout the battlefield as the young goddess Artemis, was stabbed by Iapetus.

"Artemis!" cried two masculine voices. Perseus and Apollo ran to their sister. "A-Arty!" Apollo whimpered, "Y-you're gonna be okay. Who did this to you?" She weakly raised her hand and pointed to the Titan.

Perseus' vision went red. He marched over to Iapetus, who had an evil grin on his face. "How dare you." he said with a steady voice. "How dare you hurt my sister! I swear, I will send you to the depths Tartarus, and when I do, I will go down there and torture you myself!" The Titan's grin faltered. His eyes flared with pure rage. "You can not defeat me, puny god."

They engaged in battle. Perseus slashed at the titan's head while Iapetus ducked, closely avoiding a one way trip to Tartarus. The earth seemed to correspond with the god. Iapetus swung his spear, trying to impale Perseus. A large rock erupted from the ground, blocking the titan's spear. For a while, it seemed that the two deities were evenly matched.

For what seemed like hours, the two were fighting. Finally, Iapetus saw his opening. He slashed through Perseus' stomach and began chanting in the ancient language of magic. Golden ichor seeped down the chin of the God of Heroes. A bright light illuminated the battlefield.

Perseus, God of the Eclipse, earth, and heroes, was fading.

By this time, Artemis had been fully healed. "No!" she cried as she shot an arrow right through the Titan's head. "Please don't leave me Perseus!" she sobbed into his chest. "Oh my gods." whimpered Apollo. "Apollo please! You can heal him. Please just l-"

"I'm sorry Artemis, but it's too late. He's gone."

The twin gods cried. Behind them was the final assault on Kronos. The gods had just defeated Typhon and were now attacking Kronos.

They heard the screams of joy, signaling that they had won. But the twins still cried.

"Artemis, Apollo!" Zeus greeted them, "Where have you been? You were supposed to come to the party to celebrate our victory."

"Father," Apollo stuttered, "Perseus is gone."

Zeus looked taken back. "W-what?" he said, "how could this have happened?"

"It's my fault, father," Artemis cried, "I was injured, and he sought out revenge on the Titan, Iapetus."

"Very well." Zeus said grimly, "On a happier note, I have decided that as King of the Heavens, I shall have a council to help me make decisions, and I would like the two of you to be a part of it. Do you accept?"

The two twins looked at each other and graciously accepted their thrones on Olympus.

But they never forgot their brother Perseus, Lord of the Eclipse.
