Percy Jackson: Blade Dancer

Chapter 15

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that I am currently in the process of writing the first chapter of a 2nd story I am planning on making called "Percy Jackson: Cybernetic  Warrior" so look forward to it. When I post the first chapter I'll gladly take criticism or suggestions, since unlike this story I don't have a general idea of how it will go. Just please don't be harsh or rude about it, thank you :)

Clara P.O.V.

I looked at Percy as he put his head in his hands, slowly walking over as I hugged his leg. He seemed startled at first before noticing it was me, to which he smiled and lifted me up, holding me as He spoke softly "Hello there, Clara. Sorry for all this mess, I know it is all probably very scary and stressful for you.." I frowned a bit and hugged him, snuggling into him as I shook my head and sighed loudly, speaking softly
"It's not your fault...none of it is…" he looked at me as I kissed his cheek and spoke calmly "Percy...are you really refraining from love?" He nodded slowly, sighing and speaking calmly "I just...I...I'm not in the mood to have a lover when I'm being Hunted down by the gods...I can't expose myself to that pain when I eventually lose them…" I noticed Zoe's face looked heartbroken at his words, and I realized she had a crush on Percy. Suddenly, Zoe put her arms around Percy as he placed a hand on hers "just...It's not anyone's fault I'm just...scared to make my emotions vulnerable again." He looked up at Zoe and whispered softly "Worried it'll Just hurt me more than the death of them…" I frowned "Them? Percy, what are you talking about?"

Percy P.O.V.

I looked at Zoe, starting a mental discussion with her as our eyes met 'Should I tell them?' She sighed and responded calmly 'You should tell Thalia and Clara, they have the right to know' I hesitated, sighing and putting Clara on my lap as I looked at Thalia, speaking softly
"Thalia...how old do you think I am?" She hesitated before speaking softly "well...i'd think 25 at most.." I looked down, sighing and putting my face in my hands before raising my head and meeting Thalia's eyes "Thalia...The man you see in front of you, is not your cousin, not the way you remember me." She looked at me, her lips quivering as I continued before she could say anything "I am...over 2 million years old…" her jaw dropped as I looked at Zoe, who looked down sadly. She was the only one who saw it with me, so she knew the burden I carried. My head went low as Thalia whispered "P-percy...w-what happened…?" I simply stared at the ground, beginning to speak softly "There was...a war…with an alien race known as the Yaqwando's." I stared at the ground as Thalia said,"What war?" I slowly looked up at her, murmuring softly  "The Great Universal war..the war to end all wars..between my people and the Yaqwando's, with the whole of creation at stake." I looked down slowly, closing my eyes as I started to hear screams, murmuring softly "I was there...at the battle.." I felt Zoe put a hand on my shoulder as I looked at Thalia "and in that battle there was a man with more blood on his hands than any other. A man that would commit a crime that would silence the universe...and that man...was me." I looked at Thalia, my eyes going dark as I spoke softly "I'm not just a Telarian. I'm the last of the Telarians." I watched as Thalia teared up, pulling me into a hug as I wrapped my arms around her "I had to make a choice..The most terrible choice.." I looked at Zoe as I spoke, Sadie and Carter looking at me "Either I destroy my own people, or let the universe burn.."

Zoe P.O.V

I looked at Percy as he met my eyes, speaking to everyone in the room, his voice soft and cracking "Either I destroy my own people...or let the universe burn.." I noticed Sadie out of the corner of my eye, who had a hand over her mouth with a tear falling down her face as she murmured "p-percy…" He slowly turned his head to look at her as she slowly walked over, looking up at him as she muttered "How can you bear it..?" He looked at her, looking down and biting his lip. After a moment I watched as he looked back up at us, speaking calmly "Because no one else should have to feel this pain. Not when it doesn't involve them." He looked at me as I met his eyes, going still as he leaned in and kissed my forehead "I just don't want to lose the only 3 people I have left…" I gently took his hand and squeezed it a little, which made him smile a bit as he stared out at the sky, continuing softly "That prophecy...means we'll have to return to camp…" He looked at us, his eyes soft, but also sad "If you 4 are the only one's on my side, versus hundreds of other demi-gods, there's no way they believe me." I heard someone coming up behind me as I turned my head, seeing Clarisse standing there as she spoke in a gruff tone "Oh stop being dramatic, Prissy. You have me, Thalia, Zoe, and Clara." The aforementioned young girl crawled up my back and sat on my head making me smile "I know that, Just...don't want to get you all in trouble just for using your heads." I watched as Clarisse slugged Percy in the shoulder making him frown and mock glare at her

Carter P.O.V.

I watched Percy interacting with Clarisse and the other girls, crossing my arms and sighing. Sadie came up next to me, speaking softly "You ok?" I looked at her, nodding calmly as I looked back at Percy, speaking softly "You saw his eyes, didn't you?" I saw her nodding out of the corner of my eye as I continued "They look dead. Lifeless. Like it could still move, and see. But whoever was behind those eyes had died long ago." Sadie nodded, biting her lip "did the betrayals hurt him that much..?" I looked at her, raising an eyebrow "He and Annabeth were dating, and she cheated on him. I think that would hurt anyone. But when cheating on Percy, who's fatal flaw is Loyalty? Yeah, it would ruin him." She nodded slowly, and I saw the sadness in her eyes. Pulling her into a hug, I sighed and kissed her head softly "Well, We are here for him, right? We can help him." I felt her nod as I sighed and closed my eyes.

Jason P.O.V.

I sighed, rubbing my forehead and watching Annabeth pace back and forth in the Zeus cabin. Ever since the IM of Thalia had popped up, Annabeth had gone into hysterics, spending all of her time trying to figure out who the hybrid was. After a while of walking her pace about I got up and put a hand on her shoulder, turning her towards me "Annabeth, You need to relax." She shook her head at me profusely, backing away "Jason, whoever this 'Hybrid' person is will literally decide whether the gods continue existing or not! Plus, the only hint we even have is that this person is running from something!" I rubbed my head, getting up and wrapping my arms around her as I kissed Annabeth's head softly, murmuring gently "you need to relax. We can work on figuring it out later, but you need rest." I stood there, hearing her sigh as she practically melted into my arms, murmuring "I just...i'm worried about who it might be...what if it's someone we know, and they turn out to decide the destruction of the gods?" I pressed my head against hers and murmured "Just….we all make our choices, and we must live with them. If that is what happens, we just treat them like any other enemy. Right?" I felt her relax in my arms, before realizing she had fallen asleep. I sighed, smiling and picking her up as I carried her to bed
