AN: Hello everyone I would just like to point out this is my first fanfic so don't judge me like you would Anaklusmos14 or vPxforerunner x, both of whom have great stories, and you should definitely check them out if you haven't, so without further ado, enjoy :)

AN (Updated): So I have begun rewriting all the chapters I have so far, as I was not happy with the way I had previously written things, so for those who have read this before the updated version, I hope you will take the time to go back and reread as this is like the remastered version, but with some extra stuff that will be important later on. Enjoy :)

(Manhattan, Percy POV)

One look at the battle told me everything. 'We are winning,' came the giddy thoughts as the monsters were being pushed back at a steady pace. The huntresses were doing their job flawlessly, slaying hordes of enemies with their rain of arrows. they rained death on all assortments of creatures; Laistrygonians, Dracanae, Hellhounds, Telekhines, and other monstrosities. The campers had been divided in two, with the Ares, Hephaestus, Dionysus, and Aphrodite cabins defending their entrance with an assortment of traps, ballista towers, and spartan phalanx formation formed by the Ares cabin, and led by Clarisse. the other half, was the Athena, Apollo, and Hermes cabins. The Athena cabin had set up their defenses most strategically and was slaughtering wave after wave of monsters. I didn't get much time to watch my friends slaughter monsters because I saw Kronos walking towards me. I turned to face him. Now to deal with Kronos.

Steeling my nerves, I unsheathed the one thing that has remained by my side throughout this whole hellish journey, Riptide, and stood my ground as he drew nearer. One look at his golden eyes and fear shook me to the core. It felt as if those golden pools of malevolence were dragging my soul into the pits of Tartarus. I knew that this battle would decide the fate of everything. If I failed now, everyone was doomed, Olympus would fall, and I would be to blame. Everyone has done their parts perfectly, so it is now time for me to do what was expected.

When he got within a few meters of me, he unsheathed his dual-colored blade, Backbiter, with a savage smile.

"Good to see you Perseus," he said in a mocking voice, as his eyes glowed more than usual, and I felt myself slowing down. "How fun it will be to kill you," he triumphantly spoke, walking towards me, swinging his wicked sharp blade nearer and nearer to me.

I tried walking towards him but it was like running through honey. I brought my blade up and began to slash at his chest, but at the speed I was going, I might as well have given up right there and then. He easily knocked my blade to the side and kicked me in the chest. I stumbled in slow-motion and fell down, my sword sliding a few inches from my grasp, only to look up to see his golden eyes lock onto mine triumphantly. "I must say, you certainly disappoint me, I was expecting a challenge, and here you are, on the ground and disarmed in just a few seconds. Oh well, time to die, Perseus Jackson, it's been fun," he said as he swung Backbiter at me.

I saw the blade descending towards me, knowing that not even my Achilles curse would protect me because the power behind the blow would crush my head in whether it cut me or not. I closed my eyes, awaiting certain death. But it didn't come, and instead, I heard a shout of alarm and I saw only the shadow of a person leap in front of me as they took the blow and screamed as the blade tore through both flesh and soul. With a thud, the body fell to the ground.

Kronos screamed in rage at not being able to kill me before his golden eyes flicked towards the lifeless body in front of me. "Pathetic child," he said. "How dare you go against your father, this is the fate that awaits betrayal," he spoke as he sneered at my now dead savior. Trying to get a better look at my savior ended up with my blood rushing to my head, as an unearthly scream issued from my mouth. The only thing in my head was the image of the now-dead Chiron and my thirst for vengeance for my fallen mentor.


(Thalia POV)

I tore my gaze from the monster I was firing at to find the source of the savage scream I heard echo through Manhattan. My eyes widened as I saw a massive hurricane envelop Percy and Kronos, although the water was turning into something pitch black, and forks of bright red lightning were flashing around zapping both Percy and Kronos, but it only seemed to affect Kronos. I could see Kronos was also caught off balance by the hurricane and unsettled by the crimson hue the normally green eyes took. The last I saw of the duo was when the hurricane expanded and enveloped both of them and hid them from view.


(Percy POV)

I could feel nothing but hatred towards golden-eyed titan who killed my mentor who was like a father to me. I uncapped Riptide as I swung it viciously at him. I felt his powers trying to slow me down, trying to return me to my honey-like world, but it could not. I would not let some time slowing abilities stop me from getting my vengeance. 'I will avenge you Chiron,' I thought as I felt the determination ripple through me.

Unfortunately, Kronos had recovered from his shock and parried, before retaliating with an equally powerful strike. I dodged as the hurricane expanded in width to accommodate our fighting. Fortunately every time he tried to use his power to slow me down, a fork of red lightning struck him, making him lose focus and freeing me from his time spell. Although I had no idea how I was doing it, I decided I could think about it later. I ran towards the golden-eyed titan, and our blades met once again. Sparks flew as our blades became nothing but deadly blurs of the orangish tint of bronze and the black of mortal steel. Kronos slashed at my abdomen, and I brought my blade down to parry. I slashed at his shoulder, forcing him to jump back, but not before sending his own blade straight for my head, causing me to duck. I saw a blur right over my head as he flipped right over me, twisting in midair and slashing at my back. Expecting this, and still crouching facing the other way, I swung my arm around and grabbed the front of the blade with the tip with my other hand, holding it right above the back of my neck. I braced my arms for impact as Backbiter struck my trusty sword instead of me, and I quickly jumped up and twisted my body, so that I was facing those two orbs of gold, and swung Riptide right into an exposed part of his neck. It glanced off his body because of Luke's Achilles' Curse, but it still knocked Kronos off balance. He stumbled and fell down, Backbiter skidding a few feet away from him. As I neared him, sword poised to strike, Kronos had something similar to a seizure as his golden eyes flickered blue.

"Stop you fool, you'll get me killed," Kronos whispered harshly, as his eyes were changing color rapidly. Eventually, they turned solid blue. "Percy! Please! Kill me! My Achilles spot is-" "Enough you fool!" Kronos growled as Luke's human eyes morphed back into those accursed golden balls of hate. Kronos began to get up but fell back down as his eyes flickered once more. In the end, they settled with one eye blue and the other yellow. The blue eye was slowly starting to turn gold, but before it did, one of his arms, still under Luke's control, lifted and Luke muttered his final words. "The underarm, Percy. Please, Give me peace," he muttered as his eye turned completely gold. I watched in sick fascination as a tiny little speck of blue remained, and it locked on to mine. "Kill me now Percy, hurry!" he screamed as I steadied my hand, gripped Riptide, and plunged it into his Achilles spot that he kept exposed.

In a scream of abysmal rage, Kronos turned to me and said, "My death will end Olympus you fool," before he burst into a fit of maniacal laughter.

"How?" I questioned, before deciding to throw his words to the winds before his raspy voice filled me with dread. "A long time ago I sealed away most of the primordial Pontus' strength, and it requires my essence to maintain it, but now I will fade, and there will be nothing keeping the seal intact. Events, ally Pontus will regain enough strength to break the seal completely, and he will unleash hell upon you and the Olympus you so desperately protect. You see, I tied all my immortal essence to this body so that just in case I failed, I would fade and Olympus would go down with me." He continued to laugh, before he convulsed one more time and dropped dead, the gold slowly drained from his eyes, leaving no trace of the titan lord. I looked at those lifeless blue eyes and sighed, as I knelt down and closed them. 'He died a hero,' I thought as I felt the hurricane around me dissipate, and the reddish glow I didn't even realize until now that surrounded me, faded, along with my vision.


(Olympus, after the battle, Artemis POV)

I watched on from my throne as the heroes of the battle were being rewarded, some asking for certain weapons and magical items, others asking for alone time with their parents, and some even asking for siblings. We were still in the middle of these proceedings when a still half asleep Percy crashed into the throne room and began waving his arms around like a lunatic whilst talking extremely fast.

Everyone had stopped what they were doing and stared at him, mostly with sympathetic expressions, probably thinking he was still suffering from his battle and was delusional. Something, however, told me differently.

"Percy why don't you calm down so we can all understand you," Poseidon said with a smile happy that his son had woken up. No matter how proud any Olympian was of their children for their actions in the battle, none had the swagger that Poseidon possessed. No one said anything about it, either because they were scared of the powerful sea gods wrath, or because they thought he was right in feeling so proud. It was mostly the first one.

"I said, we can't start celebrating now because we have to prepare to defend ourselves," he said much slower and calmer than last time, a grave look on his face which told me there was something we didn't know. Something big

"What are you on about punk, everything's fine if you hadn't noticed," Ares said while sneering down at Percy. He had always hated Percy ever since he had upstaged him in that fight all those years ago, and since then has always looked for ways to undermine him. I looked at the oaf in sunglasses with distaste. I had never liked the way he did things, he was such an irrational being.

"You don't understand!" Percy said as he started to get frustrated at the Olympians not taking him seriously. "When I stabbed Luke in his Achilles spot Kronos told me that he put all his immortal essence into Luke so that he would fade if Luke died-"

"Then I fail to see what the big problem is," Athena spoke up as she glared at him. She had despised the spawn of Poseidon since learning of his existence, and I could tell that she was angry that Percy was once again the center of attention, albeit that he did deserve it, as he did kill Kronos. "If Kronos has finally faded then that means peace will return, and there will be no more titan uprisings, there couldn't be, not with Kronos gone. He was always the one who spurred them on in the first place.

"You're right, everything should be great," the sea-green eyed hero said, as he took a deep breath and mentally readied himself for whatever announcement he was about to make. "Except for the fact that Kronos had sealed away the primordial Pontus' power with a powerful curse that required him to actually exist to keep the seal intact. So now that he has faded Pontus will regain his strength enough to break the last of the seal. Then he will be at full strength, and Kronos seemed to think for some reason that he would attack Olympus." Percy spoke much slower, all the urgency drained from his voice as realization hit the gods and goddesses.

"Even if what Kronos said is to be believed, what makes you so sure Pontus will attack, after all, he has not done anything hostile towards Olympus since our beginning," Athena said, being the goddess of wisdom, she was smart enough to put aside her hate for the hero and focus on the new potential threat.

Suddenly everything clicked in place. I realized what not even Athena could. "If what Kronos said was true, and we clearly had no idea of the curse, Kronos must've done it during his reign. Which would mean when we overthrew Kronos, Pontus was still under the curse, so he must have been trying to act nice towards us so we would help him with the curse. Although I'm guessing he gave up when he asked to meet with the Olympian Council and Poseidon shut him down." I said recalling the time when Pontus asked Poseidon to set up a meeting with the Olympians as my brother looked at me in amazement.

"Wow sis, you can be pretty smart, eh," he said with a smirk as a silver arrow embedded itself just short of where his Apollo doesn't shine. "Whoa geez, I was just joking," he said under his breath as I glared at him. "Next time I'll make sure you never have another child again," I said reveling in my ability to shut him up quickly. I noticed him looking at me like I had sprouted another head, but honestly, what did he expect would happen when he made that remark, that I would just ignore him, or even smile sweetly at him like an idiot?

"If this is true and Pontus had wanted us to lift the curse when he asked an audience then he will most definitely be angry with us," Athena said wide eyed as she realized that Olympus was in for yet another war.

"So why did you not hear him out?" Percy questioned, looking at us each in turn, before his eyes landed on mine and I glared at him distastefully. Even though I agreed with all his feelings of frustration at the stupidity of the Olympians in rejecting to even hear out the once gentle Primordial, I still wouldn't allow a male to hold my gaze like that. I wasn't used to males not shrinking at my gaze before I realized that this demigod was so much more different than the rest.

"We had just finished a war with the titans, we didn't want anything to do with the primordials," Hermes said avoiding his gaze as saying it now made it sound really foolish.

"So you would anger a primordial because you were scared that he might attack you?! He's gonna do that now for sure!" he said incredulously. Now that he was saying it out loud we did sound like a bunch of idiots.

The rest of the Olympians broke into argument about what to do about the situation, while Athena, Hephaestus, and I stayed silent, watching the other Olympians shouting their panicked plans at each other, when Zeus slammed his Master bolt into the pearly white floor. "Enough!" he shouted across the throne room.

"We shall look into this matter further, and if in fact Pontus is getting ready to declare war, we will prepare with everything we've got, because Pontus will probably amass an army the likes of which we have never seen," Zeus said in a commanding tone before dismissing the council.

One by one the Olympians left the throne room, and before long, Percy was left in the throne room with me, Zeus, and Poseidon.

Upon noticing he visibly paled and bowed to me, something in which I took great relish in.

"Is there something you wanted from me my lady?" he asked, my only reaction being a smirk.

"You seem to be quite the celebrity up on Olympus," I said. This served to frighten him even more as he could not make out where this conversation was heading.

"I guess," he said sheepishly. For some reason he didn't make eye contact with me, which was strange, seeing as he had foolishly defied my withering gaze meant for males not so long ago.

"Well, I would just like to say thank you, for saving Olympus, and in turn my hunters," I allowed myself to smile in his direction as he gave a clumsy smile. I noticed the astonishment in his eyes and was a little upset. Even though I didn't particularly like males I wasn't above thanking one when they helped me out, although it barely happens.

"Thank you, my lady," he said after finally regaining his composure. I simply smiled before vanishing in a soft silvery glow.


(Olympus, Percy POV)

Now I was left alone in the room with Zeus and my father. I turned to them both and bowed to my father, then to Zeus. Zeus looked a little annoyed at that but didn't say anything. "Did you need me for anything, my lords?" I asked as I saw my father beaming down at me, pride and love in his eyes. "I told you, Zeus. You wanted to kill my son, and I told you he wouldn't turn against us," my father said as Zeus rolled his eyes. "Yes, Yes, I feel like you're not going to let this go anytime soon are you?" He asked, as my father let out a rumbling laugh. "Of course not," He said, continuing to laugh.

Zeus cleared his throat, as my father settled down. "Perseus Jackson, for your brave and heroic actions in protecting Olympus, you will get one free wish. Anything you want, yes, even immortality." He said as he looked at me with something similar to respect. "With all due respect, my lord, may I ask a favor of you along with my wish?"

(Camp Half-Blood, The next day, Percy POV)

It was early morning, and after spending the night with my mom and Paul, I arrived at camp, where the dead were being honored, and where Chiron was being paid respects. As I listened to the campers saying their eulogies, I felt my throat begin to hurt as I restrained my tears. I was able to keep my face dry for only about a minute before the tears burst from my eyes and trickled down my face.

The next words that left Dionysus' mouth numbed me to the core. "Next we have Annabell, who died of unknown causes as her body was never found, the only things of hers that we have are this Yankees cap and this dagger," he finished speaking as I looked at the charred hat and the bent blade she used to wield.

I suddenly was unable to breathe as realization hit me. The girl I loved had been ripped away from me. This whole time I had thought that when I returned from Olympus the two of us could finally live life peacefully and had even prepared a dinner at the bottom of the sea in Atlantis, courtesy of my dad. It took me several minutes before I remembered the mysterious message I had received not too long ago.

I rushed to the Poseidon cabin and packed all the things I would need to survive, and ran to the borders of the camp, turning to look at my home one last time, watching my friends gathered around, consoling each other, before I fled into the shadows, knowing that I wouldn't return for quite some time, if ever.


(Olympus, Artemis POV)

We were in the middle of yet another meeting, which was unusual because we rarely all gather for two meetings in two days. Athena was listing off certain strategies that we could use to counter this new threat, when Aphrodite gasped, clutching her chest. I looked at her oddly, she seemed to be in shock. "Aphrodite, is everything all right?" Zeus asked, annoyed she had interrupted Athena. "Wow, that's... a lot of pain," she said as she shuddered. "What are you on about?" Zeus asked, a hint of worry in his voice.

"Percy," the love goddess whispered. "What about my son?" Poseidon said, growling. "I just felt a lot of heartbreak coming from Percy. Like a lot," she said, worry covering her face. "Iris, show me my son!" Poseidon growled, anxiousness and worry mixing in his voice. "Of course, Lord Poseidon," the rainbow goddess said calmly, as Poseidon stirred the water vapor in the air into mist, and a huge screen appeared, showing us Percy, with tear-stained face, grabbing things that he would need for survival. We watched as he set off from camp half-blood. "Why?" Poseidon growled. "What could possibly get him so upset?" the sea god asked, and Athena quietly answered. "My daughter, Annabeth. She... she didn't make it after the battle."

I noticed many of the Olympians were looking at him with sympathetic expressions, and couldn't help but think about how far Percy has come. Just a couple years ago the very same Olympians looking at him with love wouldn't have been bothered to care about his feelings.

My attention was snapped back to the image of Percy suddenly vanishing from view.

"What happened!" bellowed Poseidon, "Find him!" he said with a hint of worry.

"I'm sorry Lord Poseidon, but I cannot locate Perseus Jackson," Iris said as the image faded into oblivion.

"We must find my son!" Poseidon yelled at Zeus. Which surprisingly, Zeus didn't take badly, as he nodded and said, "We will find him, don't worry," which shocked us all. 'Since when did Zeus care enough about Percy to not even be mad that Poseidon was yelling at him?' I thought as he turned to me.

"Artemis get your hunters and track down Percy," he said as I started to protest but a quick glare told me it was not up for debate.

"Very well father," I said before flashing out of the throne room fuming. 'My hunters have much more important things to do than hunt down a lost demigod,' I thought as I flashed to Thalia and prepared to tell her the next mission.

Needless to say I saw the worry in her eyes as she saw my grim face.

AN: There you have it, my first chapter, so tell me what you think as I am open to constructive criticism, thank you for reading and have a good day :)

AN (Update): This is the first chapter done, I'm feeling pretty proud of myself right now, seeing as how I just doubled it in length and helped to clear up other chapters. Know that I will not write the next chapter until I finish revamping every chapter I have written so far. And with that, have a good day :)
