《The Son Of Artemis book 3》Chapter 19
Advertisement
A week has past and Annabeth is looking much better, having recovered a good portion of her physic she had before her capture. Zoë, however, after receiving a proper blood transfusion two days after the solstice meeting was released from bed rest the day after, and started helping us with Annabeth. More good news is that Annabeth is also no longer on a restricted diet as her stomach has recovered. The only thing, I'm concerned about now is if Annabeth will be released tomorrow morning or not, as tomorrow night is when capture the flag is.
Apollo was up early and stopped by running a few test on Annabeth, before making his decision to release her at lunch, "Yea I get to participate in Capture the Flag" annabeth squealed
Apollo, however, looked at her like she was insane, "Oh no missy you are on light training and PT for the next three weeks"
"Come on Uncle Apollo" Percy said, "Capture the flag is light training"
Apollo then looked at Percy like he was insane, "I've seen how you demigods play. it's anything but light"
Percy and I pouted because we came to an agreement with Annabeth that if she couldn't play neither would we. Stupid Apollo and his doctor side.
"It's alright you three" Zoë stated, "I will still bring the hunters victory"
"Oh no you won't" Apollo said, "you are also on light training and PT for three more weeks"
"Booooooo" We said directed Apollo, "Apollo is anti-fun"
Apollo just left before we turned violent from him not allowing us to have fun.
We ended up returning to camp to watch the game. Phoebe lead the huntresses against camp, but Bianca forced Nico to sit out with us this time.
"This is so boring" Nico complained drawling with his sword in the dirt.

I looked at what he was drawling, and it strangely looked like Hades's helm of Darkness. It is peaceful however sitting on the sidelines, not having to worry about getting hurt or anything, or victory or defeat.
Well it was peaceful until we heard the clattering of bones from behind us. Percy and I reacted immediately putting Zoë and Annabeth behind us, much to their annoyance, but Nico seemed to not be minding the skeletal sounds.
"hey Nico" I asked calmly and he just hummed
"Would you like to face your first monsters" Percy asked
Nico looked up at us excitedly, and turned to face where we were facing. He however, didn't seem to fear the monsters at all, something I would expect him to be. "Aren't you all supposed to be dead" He asked the Spartoi, which nearly sent Percy and I into laughter if it weren't for the seriousness of the situation.
The Spartoi looked at each other confused as of what to do. "Well Go back to the underworld" Nico shouted charging the Spartoi.
The only problem once he said that, the ground opened up beneath the spartoi and consumed them.
"huh that was weird" I stated
However, that was only followed by multiple gasp from all around us as the two DiAngelo children were claimed, with a floating helm of darkness above each of their heads.
"Well that actually explains it" Annabeth said, "Only the children of hades can truly return the dead to where they belong"
I looked at her confused, "So hades broke the oath" I stated
"No he didn't" Percy and Zoë stated,
"he kept his children alive. They are from before the days of world war two" Zoë stated
"What does she mean Bi" Nico asked
"We are about 60 years ahead of our time little brother" Bianca answered
"I'm 75 and you're treating me as if I'm still 9" Nico said, sarcastically
"That's because you are still nine and I am still 12" Bianca said, "Our aging was halted when we were in that hotel before going to school"
"Oh" Nico said
"Well, all hail Nico and Bianca Di Angelo" Perseus stated, "Children of Hades"

8 164Countdown to Inferno
"Everybody wants to rule the world... even if it's a destroyed one." Three great powers divide the known world. One of them is on track to offset this power balance as it seemingly undertakes the grand task of unifying the world. After 100 years of brutal economic, military, political, and even religious campaigns, the Republic of Dalreida has achieved a vast empire stretching from the Cargan Ports to the Aramathian Desert. May they be gods and goddesses, or princes and princesses, the rising republic has embarked on depriving nation upon nation of self-governance. In the midst of all these, Dalreida's primary personality, Lord Piso, has been serving as the republic's dictator for six years. Entering his seventh year in office, he shocked allies and enemies alike with a hazy calendar reform. Along with it is a pledge to pass on the reins of power after the so-called "longest term." Then again, to whom will it be passed? Or will it be passed down at all? With so much at stake during the "longest term," what does Piso's gamble entail for Dalreida and the world? Will it bring heaven on earth? Will all hell break loose instead? Or something else in between to purge the world of everything it ever had?

8 188Divine Intervention Online
Vin is an ex-slave who wields sacred knowledge to demand freedom for his people. Seth is a reluctant player stuck in a game that is set to last 200 more years. When their paths converge, even the false gods will take notice. * * * Hello and thank you for giving Divine Intervention Online a chance. This is not my first book (that honor belongs to The Flock by Chris Sauter- available on Amazon). This is hopefully going to become my second book, the first of a planned LITRPG trilogy. This is a labor of love, dedicated to my absolute obsession with the LITRPG genre that has held me in its grasp for over 3 years. There will be dark situations that perhaps only adults should read including: slavery, violence and the results of war. There will be no harems, little profanity, but possibly some triggers for people who don’t like torture, violence, and other dark stuff.
