(Rachel never showed up to tell Percy He wasn't the hero in this, she showed up to tell him he was the hero)

Percy's pov.

Luke's weapon flew out of his hands and into the hearth

His eyes were wide, and golden, -
"You- You can't defeat me, I am the all father of the gods!, the true king of-" I slashed at him and he rolled back

Grover held Annabelle head in his lap, she stared at Luke in fear, "Luke, family! You promised!"

His eyes flickered from gold to hazy blue, "Annabeth?"he looked at the blood on her shirt,he stepped forward to reach out

I slashed rupture at him. And he staggered back, "back off", anger seeped back onto Luke's face

He lunged out to grab my sword, I sidestepped him and swung, I tried to hit him with the flat of my sword, but he ducked under it, Luke kicked my legs out from under me

I fell to my back and he kicked riptide out of my reach

With A knee on my chest, and his hands around my neck

Luke was strangling me

The curse didn't stop that

Grover bleeted in fear and Annabeth screamed as my arms thrashed, I slammed my fists into him.but it was no use

Annabeth slid something to me, I reached out for it blindly, I grabbed it and swung it under Luke's left arm

It was the blade

The one Luke gave her

And by some crazy luck

I hit Luke's Achilles spot, his eyes turned gold,like lava, his mouth hung open

A piercing scream exploded through the room, around us a golden arc exploded from Luke, and I was blinded

I opened my eyes and a heavy weight was on my chest, Luke's body sagged onto me, I rolled him off and he cried out in pain

Grover helped Annabeth up and they collapsed next to us, I grabbed Luke's hand, "luke- i- I'm so sorry-"he closed his eyes

"Don't be...", he gave me a weak smile, then he turned to Annabeth
"Did...Did you love me?"

Annabeth looked at me

Withour noticing, I was staring at her, and waiting For an answer, "a while back I thought... but, no, I love you like a brother, luke"her voice shook

"We could get necter... or..." Grover sputtered out, Luke smiled crookedly, "no, I think... it's ok..." Luke squeezed my hand

"Its not your fault" , I shook my head at his words, "if I had just-" he gave me a stern look

"Percy, it... its not your fault..." he coughed and blood spat out of his lips, I winced, "Luke..." ,

Luke nodded, "promise..., promise that they won't be forgotten, that they will be recognized... Ethan, the demigod... don't let it happen again" he stared at me, anger in his voice

I nodded, "I promise" , his smile was painful, and it burned into my mind that I would never forget that look of gratitude in his eyes

I sat a hand on Luke's head as he looked up, I looked up as well ,there was a giant hole.in the roof of the throan room

I could see zoes consultation,

When I looked back down, Luke's eyes were lifeless, Annabeth was hugging Grover and crying, I had a pale look, I scooped up Luke and stood

The doors bursted open as I turned to them, the Olympians stood their, Thor was next to Zeus

Hermes eyes went wide when he saw Luke, "perseus-"

Poseidon looked at me in awe

"What...What is this?"

I.stared at the Olympians

"We need a shroud"

I announced, my choice cracking

"A shroud for the son of hermes".

A hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap.

Perseus Jackson shall cut deep
