《Saving Wisdom and Wizards || PJO x HP Crossover》Chapter 47: Achilles
Advertisement
~~~
Percy apparated to L.A.
He knew what he was doing was stupid and reckless. But any edge they could get over Voldemort was good enough for him.
~~~
Percy took a deep breath before heading into the Underworld.
He hated this place. He forgot how much he hated it.
It was dark. And hot. It smelt like sulfur.
Percy groaned. He had to do this. For Annabeth. For everyone back at Hogwarts.
After asking directions from a dead guy (which basically just consisted of the ghost yelling at him to leave and not look back), Percy stood at the banks of the River Styx.
Percy wondered if it would be like last time when he jumped in.
But last time he was a demigod.
What if when he jumped in, he just, like... died?
What if he didn't make it?
Percy shook his head. He's done it once, he can do it again.
But what if he can't?
He wasn't even supposed to survive the first time.
Percy took another deep breath of hot air, and jumped in.
~~~
"Surprise, Perseus."
"Percy, help us!"
"My dear boy, I am so sorry..."
"Percy, I am so proud of the person you've become..."
"All hail Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon!"
"You have many allies Perseus, but among them lie your greatest foes."
"You drool when you sleep."
"Perseus Jackson, we offer you the chance to be a god."
"I will find you Perseus, and when I do, everyone you know and love will die."
"Perseus, you can only follow one road through this. Save the wizarding world, or save Annabeth."
Percy tried to block out all of the voices. How did he survive this the first time?

What was he even trying to survive this time?
His mind went blank.
The only think he could think of was the name Annabeth.
Annabeth.
But who even was Annabeth?
Percy replayed the name over and over again.
Annabeth. Annabeth. Annabeth.
Where had he heard that name?
Did he know her?
Annabeth.
Percy's skin felt like it was on fire.
It reminded him of when he drank from the River Phlegethon.
Why would he drink fire?
Percy's skin crawled. Think, Percy, think!
The River Styx. That's where he was.
The Styx doesn't take away memories, so why couldn't he form clear thoughts?
Achilles Heel. That's why he was here.
The Curse of Achilles. He needed it.
Why would he want a curse?
Percy thought back to when he did this with Nico years ago.
How did he do that?
Percy's skin burned.
Was he going to die?
He was, for all intents and purposes, a mortal right now.
"Think of someone or something you're close to, it'll help you from not going crazy."
Percy imagined the person the name Annabeth belonged to.
He envisioned a princess. Princess Annabeth.
He would have chuckled if his body wasn't enduring searing pain.
Percy remembered Nico telling him something about a rope.
Why would he need a rope?
"To tie yourself to the mortal plane, or else you'll be gone forever."
Percy imagined a rope tying him and Annabeth to gods knows where.
But the rope was floating.
What was it tied to?
"You get to choose where you want your Achilles heel to be."
Percy envisioned the rope coming from his ring finger.
The rope tying him and Annabeth together, to whatever the mortal plane is.
~~~
Percy woke up on the banks of the River Styx.

He slowly stood up, and uncapped Riptide.
Very carefully he went to cut his arm.
Nothing happened.
Percy gave a small smile. It worked.
Now, all he had to do was make sure no one cut off his finger.
Percy swore when he realized that now he survived this, Annabeth would kill him.
Percy debated telling her about where his new Achilles heel was.
At that moment, Percy wanted nothing more than to leave the Underworld to face Annabeth's wrath.
Unfortunately, the Fates had other plans when he heard a voice call, "Percy?" from behind him.
His heart twisted hearing it.
Percy didn't know if he wanted to turn around.
He was scared of who, or what, he would see.
"Percy? Is that you?"
Percy took a deep breath and slowly turned around.
What he saw caused him to forget how to breathe.

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *
