Chapter 24

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson

LAST TIME:

But as I began to land from my handstand behind him and my feet finally touched the ground I brought the head with me. I yanked forward with all my power in my left arm as I planted my feet on the ground. But then with a sickening snapping sound and multiple others I ripped not only his head off his body but I took the whole spine with it as well. Golden blood rained down on me as he body still stood straight up as blood gushed from the giant gaping wound were his spine was yanked out.

But I wasn't down as I twirled around and sunk Riptide hilt deep in his back right were his heart was. With that I let go of the blade as blood squirted all over me, at the same time his body finally fell forward and hit the ground in a large thud. I just breathed out a long breath as I looked down at the head of Hercules and his spine that didn't want to let go.

But from my ring came black smoke that consumed the body and dissolved it as it went into my clothes that Thanatos's cloak made up. But as I looked around me with the head of a god in my hand I just smiled at them and let my ADHD take over.

"Good weather we are having isn't it?"

NOW:

As soon as I said that I finally felt my body give out as I slumped to the ground. Hercules head dissipated into black smoke as well and went into my body as I slid to my butt. I found my breaths were deep and my body more exhausted than I thought as I held my upper body on the ground. My arms behind me as I took deep breaths and looked at the people that gawked at what I just said. But as I tried to move I found I couldn't feel my arms and legs as I laid on the ground breathing hard.

"Shit I reached limit break." I said as I saw someone run over to me and come to a halt by my side as I looked at them. I noticed it was a female that had tears in her eyes, at first I was confused why.

But then I actually looked at her as I saw her brown hair fall off her shoulder and in front of her. Her light blue eyes that looked at me with the light amount of freckles covering her nose. The carrying face that I lost so many years ago, I left her even without a goodbye. But as I looked at her I felt my own tears begin to flow. I wanted to hug her right there but my body remained unresponsive as pain flared in my arms and legs.

"Mom..." I said quietly so nobody could hear me. As I said that the waterworks from her eyes really started as she put both hands to her face as tears flooded over her hands and down her face. I just smiled as I felt tears of my own started as I tried to move to wrap her up in a hug which I couldn't. But in a second she beat me to it as she helped me sit up and suddenly hugged me. As she did pain flared up in my shoulders but as she hugged me. But all I could do was wince as I heard another voice.

"Sally what are you doing?" I heard a male's voice as I looked up to see a man with a metal mask on and armor on that went well with the mask. As I looked at him I felt an outstanding amount of power from him. It was as if he was Zeus but didn't hide his power, if I had to say he was about the same power level as him as well maybe even stronger. But as he spoke Sally didn't let go but hugged me harder causing my face to tense up.

"Sally you're hurting him." He said as my mom suddenly let go in fear she was which she was, but as he did I fell backwards and hit the ground causing myself more pain. As Sally saw this she had a worried face.

"Sorry." She said as I nodded and finally spoke.

"Can you back up a little please I need to release my power." I said as she nodded and backed up towards the man as I let out a breath and spoke in a deep tone.

"Limit release." I said as suddenly steam started to come off my skin as all the energy I put into my limbs was being released. It was very much like the spell that I used on Eros to disperse his powers into the air. But you see if I put too much energy as I did into my arms this happens. The energy starts to stack up because it is reinforcing my body against his punches. Normally I can do that in quick spurts for about 10 minutes but I was fighting for who knows how long.

After such a long time the energy begins to build up and doesn't want to leave the area I put it in. If it is built up for a long time it causes me pain in the areas I place my power. So I have to use limit release which basically opens the sweat glands in my body, the energy that is built up is released as steam through the pours. This allows the energy I stored up in my arms to escape into the air which helps a lot.

But each time I do this my body grows accustomed to the amount of energy I throw in different spots on my body. So after a long time of doing it like I just did my arms were bound to become stronger and much harder to cut. So all in all it helps my body become strong and at the same time the energy in the air heals any injuries that I may have sustained during my battle. It is pretty sweet to have but every time I use it I also lose consciousness so I don't use it unless I have to.

But as the steam poured off my body I felt my body start to relax finally but at the same time my consciousness fading as I felt how tired I really was. I knew I was in a safe place with my mother near me as I looked up at her one last time and smiled. As I did I started to fall asleep my body slumped forward but I was caught by my mom as my eyes drifted shut as I fell into a much needed nap.

As I drifted off into the darkness I found my body floating in the usual black sea around me. The dark water lapping up against my body as I just starred up at the starry sky that covered my dream. Every dream that I could physically move in was always like this, the black sea and the starry sky. The sky was so clear that you would see every star and even the Andromeda galaxy that was a stone's throw from the Milky Way.

A truly beautiful sight as I floated on my back and looked up at it. But as I admired the night sky I felt a tug on my conscious that said I had some stuff to do in this dream tonight. With one large tub I was pulled under the water and into the darkness as I closed my eyes. In the next second new sounds beside the silence the lapping of the waves held my old dream entered my ear. It sounded like nature itself as I felt light hit my eyelids as I opened my eyes and looked around me.

As I did I quickly found myself deep in the forest, that I thing was in the middle of spring. As I looked around I quickly found myself in a black tunic, the same I wore the Olympian meeting before Annabeth died. As I looked around I heard angelic singing as I turned around and around until I located the source of the sound. As I found it I started to walk towards the source, about 5 minutes later I came to a beautiful sight.

It was a simple waterfall but it wasn't too big to making it a roaring one, no this one was the right size for showers. The water came down into a crystal clear lake as I stepped into the clearing that surrounded the waterfall about 20 feet on all sides. The crystal clear water finding a small stream to flow down from the small lake that it had formed. As I came closer I continued listening to the song as I found the person singing. Sitting by the small beach that had formed by the lake was a certain short haired demigod daughter of Zeus.

I didn't say anything in fear of making her stop as the sweet melody came from her mouth. I just leaned up against a tree and closed my eye as her melody crossed my ears and flooded my senses. It wasn't often Thalia would sing but when she did it was a piece of art in its own way. It was like the music came alive and cure wounds of the soul. But as I listened to her sing I hummed a little to the tune remembering the song.

It was her favorite slow song out of the few she did like, but this one seemed to strike your emotions in different places you had never felt. But soon the song came to an end as I let out a satisfied sigh as I opened my eyes once again. I just started to walk to her as I admired her from behind. Her semi short black hair coming to her shoulders now, but her smell of ozone never going away as I plopped down right by her. As I did I startled her a little as she jumped a little as I grinned at her.

"Why don't you normally sing at home I will never know?" I said with a small grin as a smile covered her face. In a second I was tackled to the ground and had Thalia straddling my waste, my feet barely touching the water as she kissed my lightly on the lips and pulled back. I couldn't help but smile as the 24 year old daughter of Zeus blushed a little.

"You heard that?" She asked me as I nodded, as I did she blushed harder as I smiled.

"It was a beautiful as ever, almost as beautiful as you." I said as she lightly hit my chest in a playful motion.

"Whatever, so might I ask why the great son of Poseidon is sneaking into my dream?" She asked me as she laid down on my chest and put her head on her hands while kicking her feet up and down as she looked at me.

"I don't really know actually but I am giving you a safety report, I am alive and well. I passed out from the fight and am currently on the other side of the world in another generals camp." I said as she looked at me surprised.

"Well that is certainly father than I thought, well don't move okay I will come and get you with Captain. Also what about Hercules?" She asked me timidly as I smiled at her.

"You won't have to worry about him anymore, he is no longer part of this world." I said as her looked at me a little frightened.

"You k-killed him?" She stuttered a little surprised.

"No I didn't kill him I made him fade, his soul is not one of the few godly souls that I hold in my cloak. He won't be able to harm anymore women Thalia, his reign of terror is over." I said with a smile as tears suddenly started to come from her eyes as she buried her head in my chest.

"Thank you, now I think I can rest easy at night. I will let Tammy know and by the way I am bringing the whole group with me. I think they need out more tiffany hasn't been able to sleep since you guys left the camp." She said as I raised an eyebrow.

"How long has it been since I left?" I asked her as she wiped her tears away and thought for a second.

"About three days." She said as I let out a low whistle.

"Wow I was fighting him for three days no wonder my body was so sore." I said as she smiled a little.

"Well since I know where you are now I am going to head your way tomorrow with the group of misfits and the captain. It will probably take a week but just wait for us and rest up okay." She said as I smiled remembering something. She saw this and looked at my unanswered wide smile funny.

"Why are you so happy?" She asked me.

"I will let you know when you guys get here okay, I love you Thalia and have a good night sleep." I said as the darkness started to consume us. As it did she glared at me for not telling her what the secret was but just smiled as her face was lost to darkness and I was awoken by a small hand hitting my forehead. At first I was startled so much I almost shot right up in bed but I held myself together.

But as I looked at the child I noticed she had long but curly black hair that went well with her coca brown skin. But her eyes got my attention as I stared into them. They were sea green but had large specks of gold in them like a stream with gold in it. She was beautiful for her almost one year old self as I just blinked at the same time she did. She had stopped the tapping as I just looked up at her and her down at me as I got confused real fast.

"What are you doing Hannah?" I heard as I turned my head to the left of find my mother in the door in normal clothes. She had on a dark blue shirt and jeans that didn't help hid any curves she had as I looked at her as I felt another tap to the side of my head. My mom just tried to hold in her laughter as she picked up the small child on my chest so I could sit up.

"Good morning." She said as she put Hannah in an area surrounded my toys, she quickly found a giant stuffed dolphin and started to play with it. At the same time I slowly sat up as my arms protested but I just sat up and let my head clear as I looked over at my mom.

"I feel like I should say something but I don't know what to say." I said as she laughed a little as she sat in a rocking chair as she watched the child. I couldn't help but stare at the child then back to mom as she gazed at the small girl.

"Why don't I start with it is good to be back." I said as I flung my legs over the bed to find my clothes had changed to a pair of shorts and a plain t-shirt that were dark blue. As I sat up I saw my mom smile at me as I laughed a little.

"Also..." I led on as I looked at the child as her gaze met mine as I looked back over at her and raised an eyebrow. She quickly understood what I was getting at as a blush started to rise in her face as she waved a hand in front of her face.

"No she is not mine I adopted her, Percy I would like you to meet your little sister Hannah." She said getting up and sitting by the toddler as she played with the oversized dolphin.

"1000 years and only one sibling mom come on your slacking here, I thought I would have a troop of siblings at this point and time." I said with a laugh as she looked at me angry.

"Fine I was going to make you cookies but-." I cut her off as I was instantly in a gravelling state by her as Hannah giggled at me.

"I am sorry I take that back but please I haven't eaten then in 1000 years I beg of you don't take those away." I said as she snorted a little.

"If I had to say so, I think you like my cookies more than Me." she said as I laughed.

"Well they are good but you still important to me mom." I said as her smile faulted for a second as I saw tears in her eyes but she wiped them away. I just hugged her as I sat up as I felt my mother grip my shirt as if I would escape as I felt tears streaming down my shirt.

"I thought you had died in the pit." She said in a tiny voice as I hugged her.

"You couldn't get rid of me if you tried, how about we talk after I eat." I said as my stomach gurgled right on time as I heard her laugh in my shoulder.

"Okay, let's do that." She said pulling back and standing up, as she did she wiped her eyes as little. At the same time Hannah saw this as smiled as she stood up and ran over to my mom.

"Pancakes?" She asked in one of the cutest voices I have ever heard.

"Yep, blue ones." She said as her eyes lit up like fireworks on the fourth of July. She just smiled as wide as she could and jumped up and down in excitement, I had to admit though my mom's pancakes were that good.

"Okay settle down." She said like she would to me when I was that old, I still remember the times when I was that young. Not a worry in the world but the next food placed in front of me, ahh good times. But as I followed them into the other room I still found my body sore as I found a very nice kitchen/dining room. The room next to it was a fairly large living room and another door that I presumed led to her room.

"Hannah have Percy sit you in your seat." She said as the little girl nodded as she walked over to me and held out her hands. At first I didn't know what to do but then I bent down and had her sit on my knee and wrap her arms around my neck as I stood up with her in my arms. I found her seat with the booster in it as I set her in it. As I set her down she just smiled at me with a toothy grin as I chuckled.

After a few minutes I was seated as well as all three of us ate the delightful blue pancakes. That seemed to have gotten better than the last time I had them. I just moaned in delight as I ate a stack of about 20 pancakes as my mom at her 2 and Hannah ate a smaller one. My mom thought just stared at me as I ate one pancake with two bites as I had a foodgasm in my mouth.

"So good." I managed with my mouth full of food as she chuckled and nibbled on her bacon as I drowned another pancake on tope with syrup. But as I was about to throw the wonderful creation of flower and blueberries into my mouth that was smother in syrup the door opened. As I looked over I saw Nico and Reyna standing in the door.

"Sally you made pancakes." Nico said in an excited voice as Reyna seemed surprised as well. I guess she doesn't very often.

"Yes I did but I am afraid he is going to eat them all." Sally said pointing her fork at my mountain of food as I stuffed a whole pancake in my mouth. At the same time I put my arms around my plate as if he was going to steal them. After 1000 years there is no way I letting anybody get in my way of my mother's food.

"And I think he isn't going to share sorry." She said taking a small bite as he looked depressed as Reyna walked over to Hannah who ate all hers.

"Ready for our play date today?" She asked in a surprisingly childish voice as Hannah's eyes got wide.

"Luke?" She asked her as Reyna nodded as she smiled, I had to say Hannah was a happy girl. But for some reason she reminded me of a painful memory with Hazel. Just her looks made her look like a small Hazel, I guess that is why Reyna is super friendly with her.

"Sally I am going to take Hannah off your hands okay, I can see you have a long day ahead of you." She said eyeing me as I gulped down a large piece of pancake. I really hope she didn't remember what I did to her I really did. But she just turned to Nico with Hannah in her hands as she picked up a bag for Hannah that was by the door.

"Just have her back before 6 okay." Sally said with a smile as Reyna nodded as Nico drooled at the site of my pancake mountain.

"Hey death breath catch." I said tossing a none syrupy pancake at him as he caught it and ate a giant bite out of it before he realized what I said.

"Wait did you just say death br-." But he was cut off by Reyna closing the door. At the same time I felt a tap on my shoulder as I turned to my mother as I smiled at her.

"Since the innocent ears are gone what do you want to know?" I asked her as she nodded.

"First thing first Percy how did you escape?" She asked me.

"The gods wanted to use me again for their own needs but I managed to escape and flee to the Other Worlder army." I said as she nodded and looked over me.

"1000 years and you haven't changed much since I have seen you last." She said with a sad smile as I grabbed her hand and put it to my head as I bent over.

"Mom...I don't really know what to think about this encounter. I truly thought you died for old age, I had no idea you were still alive." I said as I half lied, I truly had no plans to meet my mother again.

"Well t-things happened." She stuttered as I looked up at her to find her eyes closed as tears streamed down them. Sobs quickly filled the air as I wrapped her up in a hug as she let out all the pain and sorrow into my shoulder. As she wailed in sorrow in shoulder my hug grew tighter as I remember it was the Olympians fault she was like this.

"What happened?" I asked her after a while as she stopped sobbing but simply cried now.

"T-The gods they took away everything I loved right after you were sent to the pit, even my child me and Paul had together. But I was spared by their hands, it was like they wanted me to torture myself. Every day was a reminder that I was powerless against them. But then I was found by Eternal and his men and offered and place in their army along with Immortality. I took their offer with my eyes or rage set on the Olympians, but Percy I thought I was alone at the time." She said as she pulled back from me clearing her eyes of tears only to be refilled.

"Well you aren't now I am here for you okay." I said as I smiled at her as I tried to change the subject.

"So you and that dude I saw huh?" I asked her as a light blush crossed her face.

"He is a nice man Percy. He is always taking care of me even if he tried to hide it from me. But over time we have grown closer and went on some dates, I am waiting for him to propose to me though." She said with a laugh as I smiled a little.

"How long have you guys been together?" I asked her out of genuine curiosity.

"A little over 600 years." She said as a coughed.

"That long and he still hasn't proposed?" I asked her as she nodded.

"I know right, well I have been giving him hints lately but he still hasn't picked up on them." She said in an annoyed tone as I laughed a little.

"Maybe he is waiting for the right time." I said as she thought about it.

"Maybe but he better hurry the hell up or I am finding someone else." She huffed in anger as I lost it and started laughing. But as I brought myself from my laughter as my mom playfully smacked me a few times I calmed myself.

"So Percy I was looking over your record sheet and missions sheets that came in yesterday. I have to say I don't remember having a child with Thanatos instead of Poseidon." She said with an eyebrow as I rubbed the back of my head.

"Sorry I had to make my powers look like I wasn't lying, Thanatos was the closest god to my powers so I chose him." I said as she shook her head.

"I would normally say what the hell you are thinking but I guess you are right, your powers scream son of Thantos. But don't you lie anymore got it, I am allowing that because you have such a troubled past." She said as I nodded.

"Yes ma'am." I said as I grinned at her.

"But because of a rule in camp that means you will have to stay with another son of Thanatos we have in camp. It is similar to the camp half-blood people of the same parents are paired up with one another." She said as I nodded.

"I never thought there was another son of Thanatos huh." I said as she nodded.

"Besides that and you outstanding assassination record I have a question to ask." She said as I gulped, my assassination record was like a trophy case as well as almost like a danger level recorder. My records showed that I was a monster on the battlefield, one that had no mercy for others that I was supposed to kill. Since my mom looked at that I felt in trouble since that is one side of me I never wanted her to see.

"What might that be?" I asked her.

"How did you managed to get that pore girl Thalia Grace to become your assistant?" She asked me putting both hands on her chin as she raised an eyebrow at me.

"Well to put it simply Zeus threw her away like me mom, as I lived in the pit I found her alone and dying. With my help and powers I managed to heal her and keep her alive, as time passed we lived in the pit together fighting every day to stay alive." I said with a cough as my mom eyes grew wide.

"Thalia got thrown in the pit, but I thought she was part of Artemis's hunt." She said as I nodded as I thought up a juicy lie.

"She was but then Artemis betrayed her in the end like the Olympians did me, but when we got moved to the flying pit we both managed to escape and come here. Since then we have been insuperable." I said with a loving smile, as my mom saw this she grinned at me.

"So when should I be expecting grand children?" She said with a grin as I blushed hard.

"Mom!" I shouted at her as her smile grew.

"What by your expression I can tell you love her, I better get an invitation to your wedding." She said as I blushed.

"Fine but it won't be for a while I still have to propose to her." I said with a blush as she smiled.

"At least Annabeth died happy, before the last time I saw her she had rejected immortality and hooked up with a son of Poseidon." She said with a smile as I felt a pang of guilt in my heart, but at least now I knew that she wasn't part of her murder that made me happy.

"I hope as much as you do mom." I said as she nodded.

"But I better get grandchildren in the next 10 years you got me." She said in a firm voice as I blushed.

"Fine but it may be a while I am going at Thalia's pace we still haven't even done it yet. Also she is going to be here in a week so you can confirm it with her." I said with a red face as she just laughed.

"You're are so cute, well you take care of her okay." She said as I nodded as she got up and started washing dishes as I helped her.

"So what do you plan on doing today?" I asked her as she looked at me.

"How about you go say hello to your fake brother and I will got on my date I have planned for tonight." She said as I laughed a little.

"I guess mom does need her release sometimes huh." I said playfully as her face flushed red as she coughed.

"Shut up." She said as I remember one night I accidently came home late and found mom and Paul having sex on the coach. To say I was embarrassed was an understatement as I ran to my room. The next morning was a very quiet one to say the least as my mom couldn't meet my eyes for a month.

"Well you have fun and I will go meet this so called son of Thanatos, by the way what is his name?" I asked her as she put away the last dish.

"His name is Zain, he is mute also so be nice to him." She said as I nodded and walked to the door as I noticed the giant ass club sitting by the door as I looked back at her.

"Why do you have the spies club?" I asked her as she peaked over at me.

"Oh well it was just lying there and it is a godly weapon so I thought I might have someone to use it. You can take it if you want you are the one who killed him." She said as I nodded and looked at it.

"How am I going to make this work?" I asked myself as I slowly reached for it, but as I picked it up I found it incredibly light considering its size of 5 feet long and two feet wide at the end. But as I lifted it I suddenly felt Silent Doom hum on my finger as suddenly the godly weapon began to change its aura form gold to black. As it did it suddenly began to shrink and shift until I found a ring in my hand. As I looked at the ring I felt it hum happily as its new master held it.

Silent Doom seemed be as happy as it was as I slid it my middle finger since Silent Doom took up ring finger. Now I had two rings that transformed into some of the most powerful weapons in the universe. Silent doom was black and had the skull that was the same as the skull on the main blade. While my new weapon looked like a pure wooden right but he wood looked to be metal or a sort almost. I just nodded at my new weapon and was on my to the tent this Zain kid lived in.

LINEBREAK:

To say I was surprised would be just about right as I looked at the tent people pointed me to as I mentioned Zain. Around the tent there was not living grass for about 20 feet and all the tents seemed to be about 5 feet away from this one as I walked up to it. As I did I felt an aura of death itself but not as strong as I nodded, yep defiantly a son of Thanatos's tent.

I just walked up to it and knocked a few times and just waited as I twirled my thumbs waiting for someone to answer the door. As I waited I finally knocked again, this time I heard someone come to the door. As the door opened I nearly jumped back, at first I swear to god it was a zombie. Not like I haven't seen one before but as sudden as it was it surprised me.

The person that opened the door has simple blonde hair and blue eyes but his skin that his t-shirt and long black pants showed me was almost white to a super super light tan color. But on his skin were large scars and burnt areas almost like he had been tortured, but his body seemed fit and firm even with the large scars. But what I was surprised at was his age which was younger than Tiffany, maybe 14 years old or older.

As I looked at him he seemed to just be waiting for me to talk as he tapped his foot impatiently as I my eyes darted over the large scars on his arms. But surpassingly he only had a few scars on his head. Only that ran horizontally above his right eye and one that lined his cheek at an oblique angle. But as I snapped out of my trance as I smiled at him as his eyes looked over me like I was a enemy.

"Hi my name is Percy Jackson I was told to come here because I am a son of Thanatos, I was told you were the only one in the Thanatos tent." I said extending my hand to him as he looked up at me like 'really'? As I laughed lightly he just shook his head and walked inside leavening the door open, I just put my hand back in my pocket and followed him inside as I found the place actually hind of cozy.

But as I looked around I walked inside the bedroom I noticed that on a messy bed were some sort of black clothes and two stygian iron rods about 2 and ½ feet long. As I did I noticed he came back from another room with a notepad of a sort. As he walked up to me he pointed at a bed that was on the other side of the room. I just looked at him confused as he just rolled his eyes and wrote something down on the note pad. After he was done he turned it around and read like this.

Hello my name is Zain I guess I am your younger brother but don't let that make you think I am friendly. Your bed is the one I just pointed at and don't touch any of my stuff, if you have anything that needs to be shipped her it needs to be put away the day it gets here. Also if you noticed I can't talk and I don't like to right a lot so try to keep the talking to a minimum okay.

Shower times for me are 7 am and 8 pm okay if you had those times before then learn to adjust to new ones. Finally if you don't mind you are going to be cooking okay, any other questions you have to ask please write them down and give them to me later.

Got it?

As I finished up I just looked up at him and nodded slowly as he nodded back his expression never changing from an emotionless mask. But I had a feeling that that mask of emotionlessness was his true face. I guess I had a few more question to ask him but for now I guess I need to find some stuff to put in my side of the room.

A/N: So how did you guys like it.

Review please.
