The Kingdoms

Chapter 1 - Happily Married

Before they did leave though, Tyson came like he promised. He gave me a hug, it usually broke the usual for most royalty. However, Percy didn't care for it, he loved Tyson's greetings as much as it was bone-crushing. He released Percy from his arms, smiling. "I can't believe you are getting married today!" Tyson stated, he had been overjoyed about it for over a week, he had grown to like Annabeth really fast.

"Yeah, same here. The shock has finally gotten to me to be honest." Percy admitted to him, looking at the ground for a second and then back up at Tyson with a light smile. Slightly embarrassed that he hadn't gotten shocked way beforehand. He felt a big pat on the back, which felt more like a smack by how harsh it had been.

"You will be the best king ever, I will help you with everything. Dad told me what to do if you need some help." Tyson reassured, we talked a bit on the subject before a servant who was helping Annabeth came over.

"Everything is set, and Annabeth is ready whenever you wish for the ceremony to start, sir." The servant was a girl dressed in white and aqua, with long brown pigtails and a dress down to her knees. She looked rather young, not used to being a servant just yet as she held her glance down. As if she didn't deserve to look at him.

Percy glimpsed over to Tyson, who seemed to be okay with their conversation being over. Percy wasn't that pleased that he wasn't able to talk to him longer, but yeah, they needed to get the ceremony going. Before another battle happened and Tyson and Poseidon would have to leave, he hadn't really thought about that. "Alright, I will talk to you later, Tyson."

His brother nodded before Percy was led over to where the vows would be told. His father was getting comfortable in his throne for the wedding, they had moved his throne over to the side while the wedding would be going on. He didn't seem to mind, he gave Percy a big smile to lighten him up a bit, it did work a smidge.

Percy stood waiting for Annabeth to be walked over to him, like a traditional wedding that peasants would do often. Only change was that in the end they would be King and Queen together, and they would have to be together forever no matter what. They started walking down the aisle, she was dressed in a lighter blue dress than what his was. As well as a small amount of the same blue as him on her shoulder straps.

If he had to compare it to something, he would say it looked like she was literally wearing all the water in the world. From a marsh, to the great oceans, every colour was defined in that dress. Percy felt head over heals with how beautiful she looked in it. Her blonde hair tied up in a very nice bun that had a tiny bit of hair coming out the middle.

Before he even realized, she was suddenly up there across from him. He looked over to Tyson, who just happened to be the one carrying it all out. It was funny as he was having trouble with some of the words, Percy liked that they weren't having a perfect wedding. It made him feel better than just having a boring perfect one.

Then it was their time to kiss, it would be the first time he would be able to actually kiss her. The first time he would be able to lay his lips on the beautiful lips of who would be his queen, meer infatuation or not he wasn't bummed about this arranged wedding one bit. Percy leaned forward, but Annabeth grabbed him and pulled him into the kiss. As if she had been waiting all this time to get to kiss him, it made butterflies find him slightly.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds. Percy was going to need a breath soon enough, but when he thought that, she quickly pushed back. Her hands finding her way to her chest, where the blue beautiful dress was stained. With her blood. He pulled out his sword, but the culprit, the little girl who had got him earlier was running. He grabbed Annabeth, Tyson helped them over to a seat.

As Poseidon was trying to get the guards to find the girl, for some reason they hadn't stopped her. Then they had another problem on their hands, the Earth Kingdom was now in their castle. With intents to conquer it, Tyson was called over even though he wanted to help Percy with Annabeth. Percy had his arms wrapped around Annabeth, he couldn't help but cry slightly. What a horrible wedding, dying just seconds after.

He couldn't stop the bleeding, he wasn't going to worry about the yelling and fighting from the front which wasn't far from where they were. Annabeth looked up at him, trying to speak and failing at it. Percy kissed her lightly on her lips, he hadn't expected her to actually close her eyes and go limp afterwards. He knew that she was gone, the others were too busy with the fight to help.

Percy picked her up, laying her down on his own throne before heading for the battle. He wanted to avenge her, quite a bit, and no one was going to stop him either. He wiped his tears away, before getting his sword ready. The blood when he arrived was slightly more than what he expected for a battle that just broke out, it was all over the palace floor. Staining the tile that had been put there.

He headed in the battle, ready to fight. He never felt so energized to kill someone in his entire life, but this kingdom was threatening his life. So, he had to do this.
