The Moon Shines Bright

Chapter 3

(Last Chapter)

"Brother," Poseidon looked at Hades. "What was my son doing in Tartarus?"

Hades face hardened into a scowl before turning to the newly awakened Wisdom Goddess and pointing. "Her daughter sent him there."

Apollo tediously worked on Percy to keep him alive but no matter what he tried the Son of Poseidon wouldn't respond. The God of Medicine fear that Percy didn't have much time left maybe a day or two at the most. That's why he was on his way to his fathers palace.

Walking through the streets of Olympus made depressed him. Percy saved all of this and there was nothing any of this could do to save him it made Apollo feel so helpless for the first time in his immortal life. Looking down at the marble sidewalks, Apollo's eyesight blurred with unshed tears for his cousin.

"Apollo? What's wrong?" A voice said in front of the young god.

Apollo hadn't realized he had got to his destination and was in front of his father "Oh dad I need you to call a emergency meeting."

"What? Why?"

".... Percy doesn't have much longer dad...." Apollo trailed off

Zeus' eyes widened before he grabbed his son and flashed them to the council room. He then proceeded to shot a massive bolt of lighting in the sky. Within seconds the entire council was there.

"I have called you all here because..." Zeus' eyes dropped to the cracked marble floor. Cringing , the memory's came flooding back.

(Flashback)

Hades face hardened into a scowl before turning to the newly awakened Wisdom Goddess and pointing. "Her daughter sent him there."

The Room shook violently again as Poseidon stood and menacingly walked toward the wisdom goddess. Some Olympians' like Ares, Demeter, And Hephaestus tried to stop him but were just cast aside at the Sea Gods rage.

"Where is she." He said in a dead calm voice.

"W...wh...who?" The wisdom goddess stuttered.

"Your traitor of a daughter that's who. Now one last time WHERE IS SHE!" He yelled the last part at the top of his lungs.

"I don't know she never contacted me after that day at camp."

"Let me get this straight Wisdom Goddess I will find her and I will kill her and I don't care about the consequences' she will die. That is a promise not a threat." His eyes almost black with rage, The Sea God slammed his trident into the floor sealing the oath.

(End of flashback)

"It would appear that... Young Perseus doesn't have much time left..." Zeus Looked at the wide range of reactions.

Poseidon put his head in his head and sobbed, Dionysus and Ares smiled cruelly, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hephaestus, Athena looked as if they couldn't care less, Hera, Artemis, and Apollo looked like they were about to breakdown. Zeus raised an eyebrow at Artemis wondering why she was crying over a man, the beings that she despised.

"Does anyone have anything they'd like to give young Perseus before he passes?"

Slowly three hands raised. Artemis', Apollo's, And Poseidon's all raised their hands and then flashed out of the room. Seeing the Hero of Olympus so... Weak was disturbing. He was suppose to be the hero little kids looked to he was suppose to be the hero everyone loved and yet here he was as white as a sheet of paper, shivering bad enough to shake the bed with him.

"Son... I know you cant hear but I hope you know I love you. You were always my pride and joy no matter what when you were around you always made me smile..." Poseidon's throat constricted, so he left the trident he had made for him on the stand next to the bed and kissed his forehead and then walked out of the room.

"Hey cousin..." Apollo trailed off, his voice cracking "I remember that you liked playing guitar. So I specially made one for you myself its totally awesome." Apollo managed a faint smile "I hope you have an amazing after life Perce you deserve it more than anyone." With that Apollo put the guitar on the foot of the bed and slowly trudged out of the room.

"Hello Perseus... I have wanted to tell you something for a long time now... I even wrote you this letter to show you that... That I love you Perseus I need you here with me I need you to fight please just fight for me..." Artemis moved toward the side of the bed and sat down on it "Perseus I don't know what you did to me but it hit me hard." Sighing to herself Artemis put the letter she had wrote him on the stand next to the trident and kissed his forehead and then slowly walked to the door. After one last look in the room she left, leaving the dying boy in the dark.

(Later That Night)

Apollo was slowly awoke to the sound of a long winded beep that that hasn't ended. Forcing himself awake, the Sun God wondered what the noise was until realization finally dawned on his face and he bolted for the medicine room. Throwing open the door, he ran to check Percy's pulse only to find nothing. Apollo lowered his head, tears staining his vision, only to find a letter open and tears smudging the perfect penmanship.

Dear Perseus

If you could see inside my soul

see inside my heart

you would know how I long for you

whenever we're apart

If you could see inside my head

if thoughts were things to see

you would know how I cherish you

how much you mean to me

I could search the whole world over

and this I know is true

I would never find another love

like the love I found with you

Though with each new day, each sunrise

we can't know what's in store

there is one thing I know for sure

each day I love you more

So if you could see inside my head

if thoughts were things to see

you would know how blessed I would feel

to have you here with me

If You guys want me to continue this send me a private message with an idea the one i like the most i'll do :3 Love you guys and thank you for all the support i've been dealing with some stuff and it makes me feel great to know that you guys understand
