PERCY HADN'T LEFT LILITH'S HAND even for a second. She didn't minded it of cource but she wanted to be left alone for few seconds.

But Percy was scared to leave her, he had heard her scream in agony as her body constantly erupt in flames of mist.

Evelyn tried to help her but her hands burned as soon as she touched Lilith.

Percy was the only one who was able to hold her.

It's been an hour since Percy's hand gripped hers and her head laid on his chest as he draw different shapes on her back. Lilith's body had cooled down as the glow began to fade away.

Evelyn entered the room and sat down infront of Lilith, "you okay?"

Lilith gently nodded, "What did Annabeth say?" As she tried to get up.

"She told me her fatal flaw." Evelyn shrugged as she helped Lilith, who was still shivering badly.

"Hubris?" Lilith guessed and Evelyn nodded.

"Fatal flaw?" Percy asked as his hand wrapped securely around Lilith's waist, preventing her to fall.

"Wait. I'll bring Ambrosia." Evelyn said as she got up and looked at Lilith. "You explain him."

Lilith turned to Percy, her voice rough from all the screaming, "A Fatal flaw is something that every hero have. The cause of their downfall."

Percy nodded, "Then why is Annabeth's fatal flaw a dip?" He asked deep in thoughts.

"What?" Lilith looked at him confused. "Ocean eyes, it's Hubris. Deadly pride."

"Oohhh." Percy said as the realisation struck him. "What's yours then?"

Lilith's eyes looked towards the stars, the moon glowed bright as she said. "Saviour complex."

Percy glanced at her confused and Lilith sighed. "I can do anything for my loved ones, Percy. Even that means to bring down the world on it's knees."

Percy's eyes widened, "You would do that?"

Lilith smiled at him, her eyes sparkling with love. "I have done that before and I would gladly do it twice."

Percy's eyes widened, he didn't understood what she meant by 'before' but he didn't asked. All he know that the girl infront of him was dangerous and he was surprised by himself that he was loving every second of this danger.

All the boy did was intertwining their hands together as he ran a hand through Lilith's hairs.

"Here." Evelyn gave Lilith the Ambrosia and smirked when she saw the pairs hand intertwined.

Percy saw that smirk and glared at her making the Daughter of Circe's smirk widened as she wiggled her eyebrows.

Lilith ate the ambrosia and felt her energy restoring inside her. She tried to stand up and she was able to held her grounds but from inside, she was still shivering.

"You okay?" Percy asked concerned.

"Yup!" Lilith replied, a bright smile making it's way on her lips as she looked at the Ocean eyed boy infront of her but her smile slipped away as soon as she saw the blotch of hills, forest hills and beaches and green meadows.

"Guys." Lilith whispered.

Percy shot up and turned in the direction where she was looking at. His nautical senses confirmed that this was their destination.
