Marcus DimascioThe Hurricane Throne

CHAPTER NO.33 (Last Chapter)

I found myself standing at the top of the palace roof, with my diary in my lap.

At this height, I could literally see the whole city – every house, every street corner ad every shop and temple in plain sight. Down below the storm cloud of the city, we were directly above New York City. I found myself staring at my home city longer than I thought.

It looked the same as the way I remembered it. I could see Times Square from up here, the Jumbo–Tron showing the latest news. Several avenues away from it, I could see the main attraction – the Empire State Building. I could see tourists on the 102nd floor taking photos of the entire city. The traffic on the roads were terrible as usual, taxi drivers yelling at other taxi drivers to get a move on.

And not a day goes by where I don't think that it was the most brilliant city to live in. In a city like this, you could practically get around here well enough, as long as you don't act silly or lost because people would think that you were crazy.

I looked down at my diary. I had just finished a new entry for the worn out book. I placed my pen down at my side and started to read through the newest page.

Diary Entry No. 75

It's finally over.

For so long, I thought this would never end, but now it is finally over.

Proculus has been taken to Olympus, where he was sentenced to Tartarus for the rest of his life, with his Storm Guard elite alongside him. After I visited my mom in the infirmary – Proculus told me that she was in a coma – I told my father that I would accept the role as the next Cyclone Prince, but I made him compromise that Chloe would be second in charge, so Cyclone City would have a Princess as well as a Prince. My sister and I aren't immortal but already I could feel a change in me – everything has slowed down around me and it feels like my skin is completely impenetrable now.

Wow, to think that after all this time, I carried this diary all the way through this chaos. I still can't believe the look on Proculus's face – priceless! But this diary has kept me busy, and I am determined to use this diary to do well, so I am keeping it for now for safe keeping, until I think it is ready.

You know...when you think about it, this is more or less my last diary entry. When people think it like that, they would see it as an achievement to complete a diary, but to me...I see it more as a guide to the past three months that I have been through. And I am still thankful that it is all over. My sister and I are free, I'm dating one of the hottest girls from Chiron's School for Demigod Heroes and I have my mother back again, safe and sound.

I still can't believe I'm dating Katie. For so long, I thought it would never happen, but fate sure prove me wrong, didn't it? I just have be thankful for everything now these days, if that's the case.

Okay, that's enough to be thankful for, for one day. I should go now and put this diary in a safe place. It's time I become the Prince and start helping people.

This is Marcus Dimascio, son of Poseidon and Sarah Dimascio.

Signing off for the last time.

Diary Entry No.75

"Had enough of writing, have you?" a girls voice spoke from my side.

I turned my head so I was looking at Katie.

She was peering over my shoulder to look at what I was writing. The way she tilted her head slightly to the side looked kind of cute in a way. Her silky dark hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she had the time to get changed into new clothes, which were supplied by some of the stores of Cyclone City – a pair of jeans and a long sleeved grey top, with a silver necklace around her neck.
