Chapter 8

A/N Sorry this took so long guys, I don't have as many ideas for this book as I did for the first two books so this one might not be as long as the last one. As you read this chapter keep in mind that if anything happens to me the story won't be finished so don't get any ideas. The picture in the media is one I drew of Percy and Amber the day they met. I don't like it that much because Percy looks like he has a big butt. The song in the media is the one I was listening to as I posted this chapter. It doesn't relate to the chapter.


Percy's point of view

The battle against Typhon seemed to rage on and on. I still couldn't figure out how we would beat him, and now there weren't quite as many of us. Much like the last time he had faced Typhon Dionysus had been knocked down. I was still trying to come up with ideas as we fought, but we just weren't getting anywhere.

Apollo and Artemis were firing arrows nonstop, Hermes' caduceus was in laser mode, Athena and Ares sent various weapons at Typhon. None of us had been able to come up with a strategy to beat Typhon that would work, It was pretty clear that all we were managing to do was annoy him, and that wasn't really helping.

I couldn't help but worry, with how things were going I couldn't see how we would beat Typhon in time to help our children against the primordials. I could only hope that Chaos or one of our other allies would help us, I just couldn't see how we would be able to beat him otherwise.

So far we hadn't been able to lure Typhon into water, he might have learned his lesson the last time. We did everything we could think of, but we weren't getting anywhere. I couldn't help but be reminded of the second titan war, but back then I was in Luke's position, worrying about my dad as he tried to fight off our enemies, but now I am the god who's fighting one of the most powerful of our enemies.

Days passed as our efforts continued to be in vain. I'm sure we were all beginning to tire. I was about to send riptide at him for what must be the hundredth time, but I noticed Typhon's huge hand coming toward me. I tried to slow it down, but I didn't have the strength left, and Blackjack and Porkpike didn't move quick enough. Typhon swatted me chariot and all out of the sky sending us tumbling to who knows where. When I crash landed I tried to force myself to get up, but due to the fact that I was getting tired even before the fall, and then the impact, I couldn't make myself move and I quickly passed into darkness.

Amber's Point of view

When Percy fell I think most of us wanted to freak out, but I knew we would have to stay strong and continue to fight. We couldn't afford to lose this war, and we could only hope that Percy would be okay in the end. I went over the possibilities in my head, at best Percy would recover quickly and be able to help win the war, but that was the best case scenario, what really happens could be much worse.

We continued to fight despite the fact that our leader had just fallen, but to me, Percy was more than our leader, he was my husband, the father of my children, the love of my life. As long as we didn't know for certain whether Percy would be okay I would have to lead in his place. I pushed away the thought of what would have to happen if Percy didn't come back.

I told myself that he would come back, after all, he made it through a lot of other challenges in his life, he should be able to come back, but for now we would have to keep going without him. I knew that Luke and the twins would be worried once they heard what happened but we could only hope that he would be okay.

We continued to fight without Percy for a while, but I think we were all starting to lose hope. We were all quite relieved when someone showed up to help us. That someone was Chaos. He joined the fight against Typhon. We were basically distractions while Chaos did, well whatever he was doing.

The fight continued for a while until Typhon was surrounded by black shadows. I knew that Chaos had to be the one doing it since none of us would be powerful enough to accomplish that, not even the big three or Percy.I'm sure we were all wondering What exactly Chaos had done with Typhon or at least Athena and I were.

We all landed, and most of us directed questioning looks at Chaos. While we were pleased that Typhon was gone we wondered what Chaos had done with him. Seeing our questioning looks he said, "I sent him somewhere where he will never trouble you again. Only I can free him, and I never will."

We nodded understanding and thanked him for his help since despite our increased numbers since the last time Typhon was freed we hadn't been able to defeat him by ourselves. Chaos spoke again, he said, "I should have helped you sooner, despite your increased numbers most of you haven't recovered from the last wars. As a result, it was harder for you to face Typhon. I will aid you once again when you are in Greece facing my children."

After he finished speaking Chaos left. We all went our separate ways thinking that at least Typhon was gone so we would be able to help our children when they go to Greece. The main thing in my mind was Percy, would he be okay? Would we... I shoved that thought out of my head before I could finish it, Percy would come back to us, it would take more than that fall to hurt him.

I knew that since I was the queen of the gods it was my job to make sure that the camps are informed of what happened. I decided that I would inform my children before informing the rest of the camp since they deserved to know before anyone else then I would tell the rest of Camp Half-Blood.

I sat in the undersea palace that I normally shared with Percy. I decided that I would get Hermes to inform the Romans so I summoned him. Before Hermes arrived I put a false calm expression on my face since in reality I was far from calm. I was trying to convince myself that Percy would be alright, but I couldn't help but worry about him.

Hermes appeared moments after I had summoned him, and I told him that I wanted him to inform the Romans of what had just happened. He agreed and changed to his roman aspect Mercury before leaving. But just before he left before he had changed forms he said, "He'll be fine, it would take more than that fall to hurt him."

I tried to smile, but it came out more like a grimace since I couldn't quite bring myself to believe it. After Mercury left I sat there for a while before I was able to bring myself to go to Camp Half-Blood and tell Luke, the twins, and everyone else what had happened to Percy. When I got to camp half blood I told Chiron what had happened, and then I looked for Luke and the twins. I found the twins in Percy's cabin, and then I went looking for Luke, I transported Luke into Percy's cabin before I told the three of them what had happened. When I saw worry appear on their faces I said that Percy would be okay, but to be completely honest I wasn't sure if I was trying to reassure them or myself.

Luke's Point of view

I was practicing archery at the archery range, Astoria Summers, a daughter of Apollo, and a friend of mine was at one of the other targets. We had become friends after the war. Like many demigods she had come to camp when she was twelve, but she had already been at camp two years before I met her after the war. Her mother was a famous singer, and she was also a music prodigy before she found out that she was a demigod and came to camp.

Anyway, we were practicing archery when I saw my mother appear off to the right of the archery range. Surprised at seeing her, I lost my concentration, and I let go of my bowstring prematurely causing the arrow to fly over the target, and land some distance behind it. I returned my bow to my back and retrieved my arrows before I walked toward my mother still surprised that she was there.

Normally I wouldn't be that surprised to see her since she and my father usually visit fairly often. But that day I was rather surprised since last I heard she and the rest of the Olympians were still fighting Typhon. Clearly, he had been defeated since my mother was here, but I couldn't help but wonder what had happened, how had they defeated him? and why wasn't my dad with her?

usually, if they were coming specifically to visit me they would usually come together, but this time my mother was alone. Sure my dad would come alone for some of his visits when he was just coming to check up on camp, but they would quite often come together. As I got closer to my mother I tried to guess why she was here from her expression.

I'm not the best at reading expressions but I thought I could see fear and worry in her expression although I was pretty sure she was trying to hide it. when I reached her I started asking her a bunch of the questions that were going through my head, but instead of answering she transported us into my father's cabin where Zoe and Emily were. That's when I guessed that she must have something to tell all three of us.

After I realized that I started to form a theory in my head about what she might have to tell us. As I put the pieces together In my head I started to get worried about what she had to say. I was starting to worry that something had happened to my dad. Despite the fact that he was one of the most powerful Olympians, if not the most powerful I started to worry that something had happened to him. despite the fact that he wasn't a part of my life until I was twelve I hadn't stayed angry at him, and I'd accepted him. He'd turned out to be a really nice guy, and I'd found it practically impossible to stay mad at him. the fact that he wasn't there with my mom was the main clue that made me think that something might have happened to him.

If he had been there I honestly wouldn't have known what they would tell me. The last time that they both came to tell me something was when they came to tell me about the twins. I suspected it wouldn't be anything like that this time based on my mom's expression, and the fact that my dad wasn't there.

When my mom finally spoke she said, "Earlier this morning we defeated Typhon with the help of Chaos."

That's great!" I blurted without thinking.

Not really bothered by my interruption my mom continued, "However, your father fell during the battle, He will most likely return, but we aren't certain."

That explained why she looked so worried, I could tell that she was trying to reassure us that dad would be okay, but behind that I could tell that she was still quite worried about him, and after what she had said I couldn't help but worry about him. My mom told us that she had already told Chiron about what had happened and that he would probably call a head counselors meeting. She told us that she felt that we deserved to know before anyone else.

Once she finished explaining, our mother left, not long after that like she had guessed Chiron called a head counselors meeting, which nowadays included all the minor gods and goddesses that were staying with us here at camp until the inevitable fight in Greece.

Once everyone learned how the fight with Typhon had ended most of them glanced at me and my sisters. Most of them looked worried about what would happen now since my dad and Mr. D most likely wouldn't be helping us in Greece.

While I was worried about how this war would end, I was also worried about what had happened to my dad. Would he be okay? If he was okay when would he come back? Or had the worst happened to him? If it wasn't for my oh so lovely, note sarcasm, Sisters I wouldn't even know that gods could fade, so I probably wouldn't be this worried, but now thanks to my sisters I was really worried about my dad. Over and over again People tried to reassure me that he would be fine, but I couldn't quite bring myself to believe them.
