Different events happened at once.

Erebus' eyes glowed a deep red. He pointed his hand towards Macaber and you could see him tremble and fall on the ground he grasped towards his throat and looked pleading at his master. He did not understand. He helped his master with everything. Even the things he swore he would never do, because Erebus had promised him acceptance and a better future. His deal with the boy would solve everything. But why was he being tortured. It wasn't his fault Percy had escaped. He sent one of his shadow creatures after him. Honestly, those even scared him. He didn't know why they followed his orders but he took all what he got. He never saw even one of those die. Another shock of pain traveled through his body. It halted his breath and to his horror he could hardly breath anymore. He begged to be released, he promised him he would succeed. His master didn't notice or rather didn't listen. His glowing eyes were turned at Macaber. Macaber wasn't ready to accept his fate, he didn't want to die. He just... He wanted to.. The pain overtook his thinking. It became to much. Oh it hurts so much. He never expected to survive this so called war. He didn't want to kill people. He just wanted... He heard Erebus sneer and call him pathetic. He didn't care, he couldn't the pain was just to much. Black spots appeared in his vision. He didn't expect the following...

Timmy ran out of the castle towards the nearest village. The rocky path made his running slow and being trapped in the dungeon didn't improve his condition. Left and right was only darkness, in front of him a large dark forest. He struggled, his breathing was hard but his eyes shone, he wanted to help so badly. He would prove to Percy he was brave. So as fast as his little legs could move, he ran towards the end. The trees shone darkly above him and behind him, flashes were seen in a toxic green, in red and lightning illuminated the castle. He heard screams and his eyes became misty. He remembered what Percy told him, that he wouldn't leave Timmy. Timmy smiled, a sudden burst of courage stopped the aches and he began calling for help as hard as he could. He entered a creepy forest, he ignored the glow and kept calling for help. Knowing he was helping Percy, knowing he was helping his new hero. He never knew that someone followed him...

Ginny saw a dozen monsters surround her and her friends, except the cousins, they were seperated by other monsters and by a few shadowlike creatures. She didn't see where they came from. She just saw their glowing eyes, their sharp teeth and the malicious look in their eyes. They took their wands out and stood in a circle. Someone yelled if they had any ideas. She didn't know who it was, the monsters were growling to hard. The voice sounded scared and broken. She remembered yelling that only indirect spells would work, that they should not give up hope, that they would succeed. Oh so she hoped, she had never been this scared of failing of dying of hopelessness. Maybe when she thought that Harry was dead but honestly, this was way worse. The monsters charged towards them at the same time. She performed her spells perfectly and she and her fellow wizards worked together perfectly. Little by little her hope grow. Her incendio fire had killed lots of monsters. Ron had summoned a bronze glowing sword from within the castle. He was slashing at monsters left and right. George was a demon. He looked like he just knew what was going to work and going to come. He never missed. She never realized her hope would fall so soon...

Percy felt it before he saw it. The feeling creeped up his spine when Erebus uttered the words. He saw Macaber fall, Timmy run, the wizards fight and shadow creatures surround him and his cousins. He just stared at them for a few minutes. Scanning them. He gave Nico the purple drink. Nico would save Cyelle, he had the most chance of reaching her in time. Nico's eyes met his. A desperate look showing in them. Percy gave him a weak smile. You'll make it. Not we, you. Nico's eyes hardened. We Percy, all three of us, and the wizards. Percy turned away from his cousin. He hoped, he prayed that his cousin would be right but this omnius feeling trapped him in a cage. He took out Riptide and his wand. His cousins followed. The creatures sneered and attacked. Their abilities flowed over in each other, creating a deadly dance. They had never been this in sinc. Then they just all stopped, Macaber screamed. It sounded so pitched so broken, halfway he stopped producing sound. His voice was gone. Erebus stopped his attack for a minute before gadering energy.

"You have served your part. I won't need you anymore. I hereby release your oath. Have a long painful dead." Erebus spoke before he pointed his finger towards Macaber.
"Rot in Tartarus." He released his magic. Macaber looked frightened. But before the magic could reach him Percy moved. The cloak, that Harry brought with him, the stone that was hidden in Percy's pocket and the wand, that Nico brought with him formed the deadly hallows.
Erebus yelled in anger and shot at Percy. Percy saw it coming. Someone moved.
Percy always knew the fates hated him, but he never expected to sacrefise this much, to lose this much...

Erebus' empty laugh echoed through the room while he disappeared in the shadows. Everyone else was quiet, staring in horror at the scene in front of him. There was no noise, there were no monsters.. Only horrified faces and tears. The deadly hallows floated a little longer in the background before falling on the floor. The castle was dark and cold, what had happened was even worse.
