Child of Hades

Grimm

A/N: Okay before we start this will be the last chapter that has to deal with the Grimm and Salem. I'll start another book after this one is over.

(Shadow's P.O.V)

It's been five days since I woke up and found out the truth. The Grimm Haven't attacked us and I'm worried a bit.
   I was meditating outside of my tent. I was reliving the past when I first met Artemis, and I still couldn't believe that I was Devi in a past life. My mom kept it hidden from me, and I'm glad she did or I would've killed Zeus when I first met him.
 My meditating was interrupted when I heard footsteps. I opened my eyes to see Thalia, and Bailey. ''Why are two here?''

''Artemis wants to see you about something and it sounds urgent.'' I got up and walked down to Artemis's tent.
  I didn't have to knock to walk in. Artemis was sitting behind a desk with an antler bow behind her. I looked at her and she looked worried about something. ''Arty are you okay?''

''I'm fine just worried.''

''If it's about the Grimm. Let me go see what their up to, and why it's taking them so long to attack. Come with me and let's check it out together. I swore that I'd never leave you again and I intend to keep that promise.''

''How long till you're ready to go?''

''Give me a few minutes to grab my crescent blades and I'll be ready.'' She waved me out and I walked back to my tent.
  I strapped my two blades to my back and grabbed some of my other supplies. I looked over to see the hunters packing up and getting ready to leave and go to Camp Half-Blood. I made my tent fold up, and kept it at my side while Artemis put her tent with the hunters.
  A day ago I'd given all the hunters an upgrade on their bows and arrows. I also taught them to control their demon transformation at night.
  We started walking the other way while the hunters went to Camp Half-Blood. Along the way we ran into monsters but I just slashed them with my celestial bronze daggers.
  A few hours passed by and the sun was setting so we decided to stop and set up camp for the night. While I did I talked with Arty while setting up the tent.
  After I finished I got out some fire wood and started a fire a few feet away from the tent itself. I got the fire set up and walked into the tent getting Artemis a bed ready.
  Once I got the bed set up I walked outside to see Arty looking at the fire. I pulled out Lucifer, and stared at him for a minute. I sighed. Knowing what would happen if I activated his full power against Salem. I would become one with my sword and take on the aspect of being the demon that was inside of sword. I hope things don't come to that. ''Hey what you thinking about?''

''Oh... it's nothing important.'' I stabbed Lucifer into the ground. I really hope it doesn't come to that. I walked over and sat next to Artemis.
  When the fire went down I grabbed some more fire wood and stacked some more up. I was relaxing sitting here with Artemis until she fell asleep. I picked her up and walked into the tent sitting her down on her bed.
  After that I walked out and sat in front of the fire for a while longer. ''Salem please don't make me do it. I really don't want to have to resort to that power. Especially around Artemis.''
  I was afraid of what would happen if I did use it. I put more wood into the fire and started to meditate.
  Before I knew it I was in the land of crossroads with Lady Hecate. I bowed, and said, ''Lady Hecate why are you here?''

''I'm here cause you're at a crossroads with fighting Salem again, and you have several options the option to the left and the one to the right.'' I looked at the left one and saw the second battle with Salem. I was next to Artemis battling Grimm swatting them to the side and blasted them with ceros left and right. I saw two figures standing at the end of crowd of Grimm.
  I looked at the right one and saw the same thing except for we were somewhere different and I was holding Lucifer in my hands saying something to Salem.
  I looked at the one behind Hecate and saw the same thing I saw in the two I looked at before. ''You do not which way is the way to go for the last battle. You got to figure it out which way that you want to go.''
