The Prince Of Tartarus

Chapter 10

Percy POV

I decided to try out my blessing from Aether since I couldn't use most of my powers because Artemis and the hunters were there, and I couldn't be found out. As I reached for the power I felt it rush throughout my body. I looked at my body as it started to glow, the light became brighter and brighter, until I shined brighter than the sun itself

I heard gasps and looked in the direction that the gasps came from. My eyes met Artemis's as I saw joy and anger in her eyes. I was confused until I looked at myself. My shadow cloak was gone and instead I had armor made out of light on me. My hair which was black had turned white and the shadow cloak that was on me was now a huge black pool of shadows on the ground.

"Lancer what happened?" I asked. "The light was too strong and I couldn't stay close to you or the light would have eradicated me. However at the same time it increased the amount of shadows, so my strength has greatly increased."

"Oh" was my reply as I looked back at Artemis who was still standing there. I teleported to her at the speed of light which startled her. "Sorry, that I didn't tell you anything but the primordials told me that if I'm found out Chaos will know and that would destroy everything." Artemis just looked at me and then kissed me which surprised me and sent a wave of gasps throughout the hunters. I kissed her back as I felt a tear run down her cheek.

"I'm so glad that you're alive" she said as I wiped her tears away with my thumb. I smiled in return as I hugged her, completely ignoring the glares from the hunters. "Will you stay?" she asked me. I felt the pain in my heart increase as I knew that wasn't possible. "I'm sorry but I can't and I have to make you promise that you will not tell anyone that you saw me."

"Why?" she asked as I saw her eyes fill up with sadness which broke my heart from seeing her like this. "I must go train so that I can face Chaos" I replied. She nodded "I swear on the river Styx that I will not tell a soul that I saw you unless you allow me." I smiled "Thank you, I will try to contact you if I can." Then I looked at the hunters who didn't look as happy or sad at seeing me. "You must swear to" I said as I saw them get annoyed.

After they swore I looked back at Artemis. "Can you hold off Typhon for a few minutes?" I asked as she nodded. "Okay lets do this" I said as I drew out my scythe. "By the way why is it so quiet?" asked Thalia. As she said that I realised it to. "I don't know but it is way too quiet and I really don't like this." Right as I said that I heard Typhoon's voice.

"YOU WILL ALL DIE, OLYMPUS SHALL FALL AND CHAOS SHALL RISE!" I turned around and cursed at the sight in front of me. While I was talking with Artemis and the hunters, Typhon had made a huge ball of lightning in the air. It was huge, the power was probably equal to five blasts from the master bolt if not more. "Put shields on the hunters!" I said as I made multiple walls out of Earth to defend against the ball of lightning. After I did that I quickly pulled out my swords.

"DIE!" screamed Typhon as he threw the ball at us. I felt it easily break through my walls but lose some of its power, however it was still way too powerful. Finally the ball of lightning broke through as it hit chasm and traveled through my body to riptide which was stuck in the ground.

I heard Artemis shout my name but my body was starting to go numb and my vision was getting blurry and I could see red dots appear. After what seemed like hours of pain I collapsed on the ground shaking. "I felt someone put something in my mouth which tasted like my moms blue cookies.

"As I felt some of my power return back to me I opened my eyes and got up as I felt pain throughout my body. I got tackled into a hug which made me almost fall back down. "I looked at the auburn hair that was in my face. "I'm alright Artemis" I said weakly. "You're an idiot" she said as tears streamed out of her eyes. "What if you died?"

"But I didn't" I said as I got up with the help of Artemis. "Now hold off Typhon while I recover my strength and get what I came here for. "No, you're going to Olympus to heal, I'll call the other Olympians to fight him off."

"No, I must do this, please Artemis." She nodded "Okay, don't die or I'll ask Hades to revive you just to kill you myself." I smiled "Don't worry, I'll be fine" I said as I kissed her forehead.

"Okay hunters were going to distract Typhon, lets go!" she said as she took out an arrow and fired it at Typhon. I watched them fire waves of arrows as I sank into the ground to go get the remains.

Artemis POV

As I shot arrows at Typhon it felt like shooting a brick wall. The arrows just bounced off of him. "Dang how hard is his skin?" I heard one of my hunters say as she shot more arrows at him. "Aim for the eyes!" I said as I let go off an arrow that hit his right eye. The arrow pierced his eye as he let out a loud scream of pain.

"You annoying pest of a goddess!" I'll kill you said Typhon as he picked up a boulder and threw it at me. I flashed away and appeared behind him with my hunting knives. I raised both of my knives and brought them hard into the back of his neck. As the knives met with the skin on his neck the knives shattered, only leaving a tiny scratch and a drop of golden blood appeared.

"Shit" I said before Typhon grabbed me and threw me to who knows where. As I flew for who knows how long I suddenly crashed into something soft and fluffy. I looked at what I had crashed into, finding myself on a cloud. "Thank the gods you're safe" I heard a voice above me.

I looked up to see Percy floating above me, he looked like an angel, his hair was white, he had his wings spread out, and his armor of light was glowing with power. His tattoo was all over his body making him look really badass. He had his swords drawn, chasm sparked intensely with black lightning while riptide was engulfed bywhite flames.

"What did you do? Theres a lot of power coming from you all of a sudden and since when could you control lightning? I asked as I stood up on the cloud. "Since now, I just absorbed Ouranos remains which gave me his powers" said Percy. I looked at him stunned trying to understand what he just said.

"Y-You mean the primordials? How?" I asked still trying to believe what he just said. "Yeah, I'll explain later, we have to take down Typhoon before he kills all your hunters. "Alright then lets go" I said as I summoned my bow.

Percy POV

I nodded as I grabbed her and flapped my wings and flew towards Typhon, leaving only a sonic boom behind me. When we got close we saw Typhon throwing boulders at the hunters while they shot arrows back at him. However they were beat up and seemed like they would collapse at any moment now.

I stopped a few feet behind Typhon and set Artemis down. "Okay, support me from the back while me and Lancer take him down"

"No! I'm going with you. You think I'm not strong enough?" said Artemis looking pissed. I smiled in return before my face turned serious. "No, it's not that, but someone needs to protect your hunters and I need someone to watch my back."

"Fine, I'll watch your back, now go kick his ass!" said Artemis as she ran towards her hunters, but before she could, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a kiss. It felt wonderful, taking away the whole time that we were separated. When we broke apart we looked into each other eyes before running off to face Typhon
