  Over the next few days, I plan just how I will break into Olympus and assassinate all the gods. Percy's 'ghost' helps me and we eventually formulate a plan. After four days, our plan is ready to be put into action. "So, you know what to do right?" Ghost Percy asks me. "Yeah, go into the Empire State building, press the floor 600, and claim I am going to ask Zeus if I can visit my mother in the Underworld." I repeat our plan. "Then what?"  He questions. "Then, I will meet with Zeus and kill him first. I'll make sure to kill Poseidon second, and then from there it is just am matter of who gets in my way first. If I cannot take on all the gods, and feel overwhelmed, I will then wait for your reinforcements to come and assist me." "And how will you kill them exactly?" Percy's ghost asks. "With this special dagger." I hold up the dagger that he made me make, enchanted with some sort of magic. "Correct, now go fulfill what you were destined to do, to be evil!" He shouts encouragingly.

  Once I arrive in New York, I quickly make my way to the Empire State building. It is not nearly as busy as it was in its prime time, prior to Dark Percy. As I make my way into the elevator and press the button that will allow me to achieve my goal, I feel uncertainty start to creep its way through my system. "Stop it!" I chasten myself. "Now is no time to start doubting yourself, besides your plan is very though tout." I try reassuring myself. Once the elevator doors open I step out, and make my way to the throne room. I knock on a door and hear a loud voice yell "Who's there?" "It is me, Lord Zeus, Charlie Jackson. I was wondering if you have a minute, you would not mind discussing when my next visit to the Underworld to visit my mother would be?" I respond, confident, yet respectfully. "Make this quick, I only have a few minutes." He sighs. "Yes of course, my lord." I say as I walk in.

"Charlie, I thought we agreed that you would be able to visit your mother once a year, no more, no less." Zeus says as he shuts down my question of whether or not I could visit my mother twice this year. "I understand, lord Zeus. I know that what you offer now is already such a great offer. And to show you my gratitude for even just agreeing to meet with me, I have a gift for you." I inform him as I step closer to his throne, acting like I am giving him a present. "Come forward." He urges me as I stop in respect before the stairs to his throne. I nod in response and walk right up to him. As he leans forward for what is suppose to be his gift, I take the dagger concealed in my sleeve and stab him. I however, miss his heart which would be a fatal hit, and instead hit him a inch to the right of it. The wound is enough to shock and paralysis him, but not for long. I raise the weapon, getting prepared to stab him, but just as I am lowering the dagger I hear a voice call "Charlie." I turn around and face someone who I would not expect to see alive, nevertheless here, Kassidy.
