Dreams
Eleos flashed in the dim light, her blade an arc of destruction around her. Too many of her siblings had fallen or been incapacitated and she was left to defend the bridge alone.
She wove her craft well, her knowledge of monsters unparalleled. After all she had spent years as a spy, training with the enemy. It gave Anna a powerful advantage, using her knowledge of their strategies and abilities against them. She had rarely showed off her own skills fully, leaving her with an small element of surprise.
Anna became death incarnate on that lonely bridge. She smirked as she waded through the opposing army, as she hacked, slashed and parried. She threw her knives without looking, her aim flawless. There was nothing but her and the enemy. Her sword and shield holding back an army that threatened her family.
She heard screams and shouting from the reinforcements that had finally arrived, but she couldn't rest. Not yet. Everyone was tired, and Kronos's forces had gotten close enough. Anna refused to move an inch, her pride and sheer willpower fueling her exhausted limbs. No demigod could fight as she had for so long without consequence. Sooner rather than later she would have to bend. But not yet. She could hold the line just a little while longer until the reinforcements reached her.
'Just a little longer.' She prayed before pushing forward again.

AN: FYI this is the Battle of Manhattan. The Athena Cabin held the 59th street bridge in the books, so I gave Anna this. A lot of the stories focuses on how Percy/Annabeth/Thalia etc saved Olympus. But all the other campers did a lot of work defending the city. And so they got titles relating to that.
So instead of being a Hero of Olympus, like so many other stories might have done, Anna is the Hero of the 59th Street Bridge and Hero of Manhattan. Which personally, way more impressive. And way more thankless. (But then I wrote her, so I'm a little biased :))
