-Chapter 1: I Get My Atoms Ripped Apart

All of the Seven had died. The most tragic deaths were Annabeth and Frank's. Gaea had taunted him, and told him to burn his stick, for only the fire of life could save Hazel, but in the end, it was all a trick. Annabeth died thinking she was a traitor, and was never worthy. Khione had whispered into her ear, and defeated her with an icicle, and left Gaea to consume her strength.

Nico, with what we believed to be his final breath, used a massive amount of shadow travel that reached across the world. It brought all of the demigods here to fight, but they were no match for Gaea. Their blood spilled, and all of the death caused Gaea to rise. It might've sounded good at the time, but summoning a bunch of untrained kids mixed with elite trained warriors was a horrible idea. They died, and Nico says the deaths were what shocked him awake.

Thalia and I charged Gaea, enraged, with Nico running beside us. It scared the living daylights out of me, and I thought he was a ghost. We ultimately defeated her, even after she gained their strength. All three of us had given the final blow, and cast her into the depths of Tartarus.

For our Valor, the Gods gave us rewards.

"Nico, come forward!" Hades rumbled.

"I bless you with my curse. The Curse of being the child of Hades. You are the Ghost King. Now I unlock your full powers, and you have multiple new abilities. Bewarned, not all of my children live happy endings," Hades said.

"Thank You, father" Nico answered, and was blasted by a pure black sphere of light.

He began steaming, and dropped to his knees. Shadows started to curve to him, and the temperature dropped in the room. He stood up, and he looked powerful. His skin was less pale than before, and his hair was dark as ever. An aura of quietness and power seemed to surround him.

"Thalia, step forward," Zeus rumbled, and Artemis said in a comforting tone.

"I'm sorry Thalia, but the hunt can't continue. We must wait years for there to be enough huntresses,"

Tears swelled in her eyes, but she said "Yes, M'lady,"

"Thalia, I give you my blessing. You now heal with the moon, and have enhanced senses, plus the ability to see in the night. You are my champion. You will become the strongest huntress the world has ever seen, I foresee it clearly," Artemis said, blasting her with a sphere of silver light.

"Thank you, m'lady. It has been an honor to serve you," Thalia said, the tears in her eyes struggling to come free, as she dropped on one knee, as the pain racked her body.

Grey light leaked out of her, the blessing that Artemis had given her when she became a hunter. Thalia looked the same as before, just without her tiara, and she didn't look immortal anymore.

Artemis tried to pull a kind smile, but it came out forced and sad.

"My daughter. You were always destined for greatness. I will give you a feeling of comfort whenever you are in my domain. You are now able to fly, and your powers have increased by tenfold," Zeus said, trying to hide his fatherly concern and act like a leader.

It felt like for the first time, I could see through all of their acts. The facade Zeus put on, Artemis always acting strong and never messing up to for two and tea for me and tea for two and two for tea to prove she was the best.

"Perseus Jackson, step forward," Zeus rumbled, and I wondered why he had called me.

"For your acts of bravery, we grant you with our blessings. All of Olympus blesses you,"

"Zeus, I don't want this power. Look at where power got me? Standing in front of a council of Olympians, with my friends dead. Please, I don't need your blessings. But grant me 3 wishes," I said closing my eyes, then opening them to see if I was dead for speaking out.

"I figured as much. Very well, boy. What is your wish?" Zeus sighed.

"I wish that Hades and Hestia are both reinstated as Olympians, and that for the next ten years, you talk to your children, and make more, all of you," I started.

"Yes, that is possible," Zeus murmured.

"And my last wish is that you send me, Nico, and Thalia to another world, provided they accept. A world that needs us, a world where we can make sure nobody has to go through this," I ended, Thalia and Nico nodding with the idea.

Murmurs broke out from the Olympians.

"The one wish we will not grant you" Zeus said sadly.

"Brother, you always said he was a threat to Olympus. Please, you've seen his power, let him go. It is the least we can do for him," Hades argued.

"He is a liability. We can't just let him leave. He is our strongest demigod. They are the last of their kind, and we will just let them go?" Zeus countered, revealing that he actually cared.

"Father, if I may." Athena said. "Let us compromise. We will give them our blessings, but only to be used in dire situations. That way, they shall not perish, and we will know they live,"

"This is the wisest option, and even though I may not be fond of these heroes," Hera said, glaring at Thalia. "They hold my respect,"

The gods started chanting in a mixture of Greek and Latin, and I caught a few words, like blessing, power, and heroes. A blast of multi-colored light hit all three of us, and I struggled to stay conscious. It felt like I was about to explode from the power. We kept steaming even after they stopped.

"Something has gone wrong!" Zeus stated the obvious.

"They need a channel for their power, or their bodies will overheat from the power," Athena said.

"Weapons!" Ares spoke with glee.

I fumbled for RIptide in my pocket, and grabbed it tightly. Nico did the same with his Stygian Iron sword, but Thalia didn't have her bow and arrow, because Artemis took away her semi-immortal blessing from the hunt. I felt strong and powerful, but Thalia seemed to be burning. I reached into my pocket then cursed myself for not bringing Ambrosia or Nectar.

"You must give her a channel for her power before it is too late" Athena shouted.

"What kind of self-respecting person doesn't carry a weapon at all times?" Ares growled.

"She had a weapon! You do not speak to a huntress that way!" Artemis said, forgetting Thalia was no longer a member of the Hunt.

"It is time, Artemis," Zeus said to her.

Then to the rest of us. "We were going to wait until the anniversary of her birth, but now is time for her gift."

Artemis ran and grabbed a simple leather covering. She pulled it off, and there was a bow and arrow. The quiver was stocked with multiple assorted arrows, and a few lightning bolts. The bow was silver and elegant, but crackled with lightning. The quiver and a few arrows seemed to be made of moonlight. It was thrown to Thalia, and she grabbed it, and she slowly stopped burning up.

"Heroes, you will wake up with some survival gear and mortal money. You must learn to control your powers. The fate of their world may rest in your hands. It will be difficult to contact you there," Athena said.

With that, every Olympian pointed their symbol of power at me, and Hermes's Caduceus emitted a large ray of power, blasting us living Big Three Children.

Styx. I forgot to tell my mom I was leaving, was my last thought before my atoms were torn to shreds and my being vaporized.
