The fire was enchanted somehow, no matter how hard anyone tried they always told the truth in amazing detail. Annabeth was regular Annabeth but the rest of the demigods were talking in great description that Satyrs particularly could understand, Grover had no story to tell because technically it was Percy's story, but he shared his one on one time moments with Persephone. But everyone asked him to stop talking after the first minute of speaking.
"So after the titan war every death was commemorated, every soul lost due to rogue demigods, monsters or titans were all given funerals they deserved. Camp half blood began construction, they built a wider mess hall and a larger arena..."
Percy, Annabeth and Frank went on for hours telling every side of the story not missing a detail, when frank mentioned the dreams the Satyrs became suspicious. Then the prophecy and they looks turned to horror.
"You are the demigods of the technology prophecy?!"
"We're sorry, the what?"
"That prophecy was spoken when we came here, the creation symbolises all demigods going from old fashioned, too modern. The creation is an old one left behind in the past capable of so much more..."
Suddenly a gold and white light appeared in front of Annabeth, then a bone dagger materialised in her lap. "My bone dagger from Tartarus? I am usually on top of knowledge and I understand most puzzles but this is just outright confusion."
"That is a cursed blade, a demigod with two cursed blades is unlucky beyond comprehension!"
Annabeth stared at Percy. "I know what he means..."
"What does he mean?! I never broke any promise with that dagger around!"
"You said in Tartarus you'd never let go/leave me, but when Jason showed up... you disappeared." Percy put his hand over his mouth, then looked at the sky, he would've cursed but saw smoke, coming from a large black building on the mountain. "There." He pointed.
"That's where the prophecy will take place and one of us will die, we have no physicians cure this time. Let's go get Hestia."
The three hiked the cold mountain, as they got closer they realise it was an enormous fireplace, but with a large black wall over it. Frank turned into a dragon and went to fly them over only to be stopped by an orange forcefield, he fell to the floor in agony turning back to human, Percy put pressure on his left arm. He groaned.
"My arm!"
"You're lucky kelp head, I landed on my whole body and I was the one that was electrocuted by orange... stuff."
"Guys, you're both whining. How about we focus on the fact that this gate has some form of key?"
They both stood up and stared at the door, Annabeth even looked clueless about what it was. Frank mumbled lines from the prophecy and snapped his fingers. "The arctic donkeys of Greenland!"
"You mean the ones with female penguins and seals?"
"Eww, what no! I mean the roman arctic donkeys, the ones that were everywhere in ancient Rome when it actually snowed, they're extinct now but I know their hoof print."
"How did you get that before Annabeth?"
"I literally can shape-shift into any creature on this planet, it's my job to know every form off by heart."
"Good point, I know the curves of my feet pretty well too."
The two looked at Percy as if he was insane, Percy just shrugged his shoulders as Frank mustered up all the energy to open the doors. "Yes!" He took his hooves out of the key hole and the doors began to close, Frank quickly put them back in. "I have to hold the door open, you guys go in."
The two demigods went inside to find Hestia in godly chains and Hephaestus in his human form, the demigods were shocked enough that their gasps were heard. "Ah yes, I've been expecting demigods."
"Why are you doing this Hephaestus? We thought you were one of those chill gods?"
"I was a chill god, until I realised, hey, who are they to throw me off Olympus because i wan't good looking. Then to set me off more Hestia tried to take back her place as an Olympian because no one lights fires anymore because of global warming. No one blacksmiths anymore either, the only thing keeping me from fading is stoves."
"Hestia is this true?"
"Yes! We need the hearth back, no one has used a hammer/anvil in over 20 years!"
"Let her go Hephaestus, you're not a god I wish to fight."
The fire god gave him a death stare, walked over to Percy casually and grabbed his neck, then he threw him out of the building. Percy used the snow to get water, he soaked Hephaestus but he threw a small metal triangle. Knowing Hephaestus he dived into a square of water.
The battle always ended the same way, until Hephaestus finally got Percy in an inescapable place.
Annabeth looked worried at Percy, then donkey Frank passed out. "Insolent children, you know the prophecy Athena's spawn. Pick who will die!"
Annabeth knew you could never get out of prophecies without the physicians cure, she unsheathed her bone dagger and looked around, she walked up to Percy and whispered into his ear "I'm sorry, I love you."
She raised the dagger and Percy started screaming, then she stabbed herself in the chest. "ANNABETH!" Percy turned. "You. Did this."
"Someone was bound to die demigod, I guess she couldn't stand you any longer. I don't blame her."
Percy's eyes glowed green and blue. "NOW YOU WILL FEEL THE FULL WRATH OF PERCY'S ANGER!" He raised both arms lifting up at least 1000 gallons of water came flying from all directions, he commanded Frank back to the satyr tree and went psycho on the god. But he couldn't killed the god, so he buried him 3 miles below sea level under rock and water. He freed Hestia but didn't speak, he returned to camp with Annabeth's corpse never making a sound. They landed in front of the big house and brought Annabeth inside, Chiron covered his mouth when he walked in.
"I tried everything on the way here, but I gave up fairly soon. A prophecy is a prophecy."
"Perseus?"
"What?!"
"I've dealt with thousands of demigods, I know that I'm gonna walk up to Olympus and miraculously murder every would present."
Percy couldn't help but show a faint smile, but it faded instantly. "I want a proper funeral for her, today. Assemble the camp."
Annabeth's funeral was the saddest moment in Percy's life. He sat next to Rachel, Chiron, Grover, Sally, Thalia and Piper. Everyone mourned hard that day, Percy wanted to say a few words. His face was red with tears and his eyes were dry from crying. He sniffled and made his speech.
"Annabeth was my everything, she was the better side of me. I honestly don't know what to do. But If I get another fucking prophecy in the next 5 years I swear I'll somehow get Zeus down here and duel him."
They sky rumbled.
"You heard that right you brute."
He started crying again.
"I'll wake up every day hoping your death was a dream, but even without that my life will be a disappointment. You completed me wise girl, I honestly don't know how to cope-"
He kissed the coffin.
"I love you, so, so so much. I can't do this-"
Nico walked down the centre pathway.
"What do you want?!"
"I brought an extra guest, exclusively from Elysium." He gestured to a ghostly figure that appeared next to him. "An- Annabeth?" He started to laugh as tears fell down his face, she floated up to him and kissed hime. "That was a nice speech shark head."
"Shark head? did I get upgraded again?"
"Yep, now you're at the highest rank and the highest aggressiveness rate too, don't do anything stupid until we see each other again."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll wait in Elysium for you, just promise me one thing?"
"Anything."
"Don't kill yourself, because I know that's your top thought. And feel free to be with other girls while alive, I want you to live your life to the max."
She glared at Nico. "He better get into Elysium or I'm rebirthing and killing people."
"Hehe, well everyone say goodbye to Annabeth."
Everyone left that funeral smiling because they all know they'll meet again, and it'll be great when it happens. Percy of course didn't date anyone for his entire life, he spent all his time at home with his step-father, mother and little sister Estelle. He got no prophecies for the rest of his life and after Mr D's sentence was over he took over his job when he returned to Olympus, so Percy never had to fight Zeus. But every god on Olympus still teases Zeus for not taking the fight.
The End
