Y/n's pov

I'm afraid because I know I can't fight forever

Those were the words that pop in my head as I stood face to face to Perseus, the man who was destined to slay my lover. "Who are you", Perseus asked. Without a second thought I charged at him as I swung my sword. I heard the rip of fabric. He kept dodging my attacks soon after that. He jumped back to create distance between us.

"You're y/n aren't you", He stated. I ignored him and kept trying to attack him. He dodged me so effortlessly as if he wasn't taking me seriously. I growled in anger before leaping forward to tackle him to the ground. I raised my sword up on the air ready to pierce his heart. I brought the sword straight down, he was able to move his chest a bit making the sword pierce his shoulder.

"Why would you protect a beast", he hissed. "She isn't a beast", I replied. Perseus shoved me off him making me fly back. I landed on my back, but huffily got back into my fighting stance. I was able to deliver the sword he thrust at me. I blocked every thrust, every swung, every slice he aimed at me. I dodged a thrust he aimed at me and went for his side. I was sibyl able to rip a piece of the fabric he was wearing. I heard him swing his sword at a lowered angle, he was going for my side. I tried to dodge, but the blade was able to slice me. I hissed in pain as I moved more to the side to escape the blade. Luckily when I moved early the cut wasn't as deep, but a lot of blood was coming out. I created distance between us so I can hold my side.

"Tell me why do you protect her", he asked. "I don't need to answer a bastard's question", I sneered. He just smirked at me as he whip his sword making the some of the blood fly off the blade. "This bastard is about to kill you, you have every chance to run, so why protect it", he asked.

I was able to get back into my fighting stance. The cut in my side was a burning pain, but I have to ignore it. "Because I love her, she's the only loving thing that has actually made me want to live in this pitiful world", I answered. "She makes me want to protect her, she makes me want to fight for her, and she makes me want to give my life for hers", I said with a smile.

"I guess it's truly a monster then", Perseus replied. "No she's not the monster, I am the monster, you will die by my hand, you bastard", I snapped before charging at him. Our swords clashed giving off a annoying clink sound. It was so loud Ares probably heard it all the way in the Mount Olympus. Once Perseus raised his sword I went straight for his chest. My sword pierced where his heart was. He let out cry of pain as he stumbles back. I pulled my sword out as blood gushed out of his chest before running down his chest. His breathe began to slow down as he stumbled towards me. I backed up as he did. He released a final breath before falling to the ground, he was dead.

I dropped my sword as realization hit me, I killed Perseus, the man who was going to kill my lover.

"Y/N",'Medusa cries in happiness from a distance. My chest filled with happiness as I turned towards her voice. I was about to run towards her, but I stopped to look towards the sky. I heard clouds rumbling as if a storm was brewing, wait that bastard. "MEDUSA STAY BACK", I screamed as I ran away from her. She can't be near me, no he won't take her! I heard the sound of lighting struck down, it was right above me. Once it hit me it made a loud screeching noise. I screamed in pain as it did. I tried to cover my ears, but the burning pain that erupted through my body refrain me from doing so. What felt like hours of pain was only a second. The lighting disappeared as soon as it touched the ground. I fell to the ground back first. My burns on my back cause me to let out a gasp of pain, blood soon seeped from the burns. It soon began to feel like it was difficult to breathe and my world began to spin. My body felt cold yet hot, but it was a burning pain. I felt my body suddenly move, I guess Medusa was picking me up. I can't even tell her I loved her, curse you Zeus, CURSE YOU!

I knew I was going to die, so I raised my hand towards her face and gently touched her cheek. I ignored the burning pain I felt in my arm. I was able to imagine a piece of her face, even so she was still beautiful. "..Lo..ve", I gasped out with my last breath before finally dying. Cypress
