PERCY'S POV 

I ran outside, gripping my sword tightly, when I got there I was revealed to a HUGE infestation of monsters.

I yelled my battle cry "FOR OLYMPUS!", and ran into the monsters. Hacking them down faster, and faster.

Artemis and the hunt were in trees picking them off, but Thalia soon jumped from the tree to fight with me.

Taking out Aegis her shield and Blitz her spear, she started to stab all the monsters.

Keeping them far enough away from her with her shield so she wouldn't get hit. Or so I thought....

When Thalia was fighting a hellhound a Drakon shot a arrow at her chest. I tried to jump in for the arrow.....

But I was too far, I watched as the arrow pierced her chest....going right out to the front....

Her eyes widened, pain flared into her face before falling dead.......

"NOOOOO!!!" I screamed so loud it drowned out the Hunters cries of despair. I looked at the monsters.

Fear was clearly written on there faces, I charged tears in my eyes.......

**********

When my vision came back gold monster dust was EVERY WERE. I looked to the Drakon, smiling evilly.

The drakon screeched slithering away, but I was quicker grabbing the Drakon by the neck,

I squeezed....harder and harder....the pain on the Drakon's face was so great. Till finally and sadly I may add....it poofed into monster dust.

The hunt including there beautiful mistress, stared at me with horror. I looked around myself,

I had dust every were, a crazy smile on my face....I just killed a Drakon slowly. I looked at the lifeless body of my honorary sister.....

Then the feelz barrier broke, I fell down crying. Sobbing into my own little ball, Artemis came over and started to rub my back.

"Its ok just cry....shh...shh...shh..its ok...". She whispered to me, I might have hugged her....ok I did.....but she didn't seem to mind.....wow......

ARTEMIS' POV

Percy hugged me tightly, sobbing into my chest. I rubbed his back, saying soothing words.

The hunt didn't seem to mind that he was touching me, thank the oh wait thank us!

A few tears streamed down my face, I just couldn't believe Thalia was gone. I sighed not sure what to do...

I looked up when I heard a rumble, I seen the Minotaur standing there. I took out my bow, Percy clawed for his sword.

"I only have a message....a new enemy has arrived...and he's more powerful than anything you've faced......Tartarus is his name....and you will all die!".

The minotaur's deep voice grumbled out, I shot my arrow killing him. Percy just stared at the spot were the Minotaur was.

"Its ok Perce....he's probably lying...." My shaky for spoke out. He just nodded, getting up he started for his tent a mile away......

Sighing I went after him, ignoring the glances the hunt gave me........

**********

He ran into his tent crying yet again, I followed not sure why I was entering a boys room.

When I got in there I first noticed how clean  it was, yes Percy was keeping his room CLEAN.

I sighed, very surprised by this, I was going to look around but then I heard the moans of Percy crying.

Going over to his bed, I sat down rubbing his back. Saying soothing words, like before,

He then hugged me, I was so surprised that I just hugged back. After awhile we got comfortable in each others embrace.

TOO comfortable.....A voice inside my head said, I ignored it. Getting sleepier by the minute we were hugging.

Finally my mind just shut down, I started to get dreary. Then with one final sentence I fell asleep, slumping against his body.

The sentence was "Goodnight Perce...".......................

************

I sighed, last night was a little embarrassing, but today we were GOING to bury Thalia....but her body disappeared.

Just POOF and gone, like a lot of things in my life. I started for my tent when Percy stopped me.

"Yes?" I asked curtly, he looked at me and said in a whisper. "We need to tell Olympus...."

I sighed nodding in agreement, he took my hand. nodding for me to flash us there....I did after one last tear.......

************

Percy's POV

When we got in Olympus I pulled Zeus aside, Artemis behind me. I noted the tears on Artemis' beautiful face, and Zeus' solemn yet impatient face.

"Zeus....I did the best I could do, but.....Thalia.....she died....". I said my voice cracking, the tears stared to roll down mine and Zeus' face.

"WHY MY DAUGHTER!", he shouted crumbling like he was hit hard. Well he was, but not physically...mentally.....

My thoughts were interrupted by Zeus roar of rage. I backed away, grabbing my pen.

"YOU PROMISED TO PROTECT THEM!", Zeus yelled out in a between a choked sob.

"Dad....he did his best....you cant blame it on him....". Artemis chided in, I sighed and nodded my thanks.

"We also have a message to deliver.....". I spoke out, trying to control my emotions........

**********************

Zeus sat on his thrown, his face red from crying. his dark blue suit was wet from the tears also.

"What is the message?"  Apollo asked, Just then Atticus, Annabeth, Piper, and a boy in black and grey walked in.

The boy in grey kissed......Piper........before walking over to me. He was wearing black Converse with kinda baggy jeans with a black shirt a dark grey unbuttoned over shirt.

A pleather coat, with leather biker gloves, he had a Elucidator from SAO on his back, yes I watch that show......

Kirito just reminds me of me! His eyes were.....WHAT? Instead of white around the pupil it was black!

He had a weird mixture of gray/blue/green iris', but the eyes....that was as weird as Atticus'.

He held out his fairly pale hand, "Logan Stratus, son of Tartarus...". His semi-deep voice spoke a greeting.

I backed away slowly, "Don't worry....I wont hurt you Percy....". He spoke slowly, I sighed shaking his hand quickly.

"AS you were saying!", Zeus thundered. "DRAMA QUEEN!" Logan yelled. Earning a laugh from Pipes.

Zeus looked murderously at Logan, Logan looked back making Zeus FLINCH! "Well.....Tartarus.....he is going to try to destroy us.....".

I head Logan's strangled choke........
