Darkness(Percy Jackson/Throne of Glass crossover)

Aelin Ashryver Galathynius

Sorry if any of this is wrong, I was going from memory.

Percy

I stare at the people in front of me, each one of them seem distant, mourning the loss of their friend. The plane rattled as it took off, Thalia turned ghostly pale. I just grabbed the seats with intense strength. Thank gods we managed to get a flight in these circumstances. There was only a bit of bribing involved.

"So...can I ask a question?" Annabeth asks.

"Sure," Manon replies.

"Who the Hades are you?" Annabeth says.

"It's a long story, are you sure you want to hear it?" Aedion questions. I nod my head along with Annabeth and Thalia.

"I guess we should go from the start. Once upon a time in a kingdom long since burned to ash, there lived a princess who loved her kingdom...very much." Aedion says, "Her name was Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, daughter of King Rhoe Galathynius and  Queen Evalin Galathynius of Terrasen. Everything was fine, happy until a neighbouring land known as Adarlan sought for more power. The king knew he could not defeat the mighty Terrasen in a battle so he sent assassins to murder the royalty and nobles, tearing down Terrasen from the inside out. Aelin was with her parents in a holiday house the night it happened. It was raining and she got scared so she went into her parents room and cuddled up with them, the bed sheets wet from what she assumed was the rain. The next day the eight year old girl woke up in her parents blood."

"Oh my gods." Annabeth mumbled.

"The maid came in the room after hearing Aelin's screams, she saw the King and Queen and new that the Princess would be next, that the murder was still there. Marion Lochan gave her life so that Aelin had time to run. The person nearly caught her but she manged to cross a bridge that the man could not go on with a horse. Aelin continued to run across but the bridge gave way. She fell into the raging icy waters. She fought and fought for air, but did not prevail. Elena Galathynius, one of her dead ancestors took pity upon her and brought her back to life, one who fought so hard had no reason to die. She sent a man named Arobynn Hammel to find her not realising the consequences. He took the little girl into his care and travelled back to Rifthold, the capital of Adarlan."

"There he trained her as Celaena Sardothien to become the most feared assassin in the land, and that she was." Lysandra continues. "She trained and trained, along side a man named Sam Cortland. They hated each other until one mission where Arobynn sent them to a Pirate Lord in skull bay. They did not know the real mission was to send slaves to Rifthold. When she found out, she planned to release them. When the job was finished she became closer to Sam. When they returned Arobynn, King of the Assassins sent Celaena away to train with the silent assassin's of the Red Dessert, after getting a beating from Arobynn and watching Sam get hurt even worse."

"When she returned she and Sam fell in love. They decided to move out of Adarlan and live in peace together. They just had to ask for Arobynn to let them be free. Arobynn agreed but said that they had to pay it off. Celaena sold her horse and payed off Sam's freedom, she got a nearly impossible job that would be able to pay of the rest of the debt. Kill the crime lord known as Ioan Jayne and his right hand man Rourke Farran. Sam goes out one night to kill Farran alone, Celaena reluctantly stayed back. When Sam didn't return the next morning she grew immensely worried. Arobynn came to her apartment and told her the news. Sam Cortland was dead."

Annabeth gasped and squeezes my hand.

"He was drugged than tortured to death. You could barley recognise his body. Celaena was outraged and went for revenge. Some one must of told them she was coming for a trap was set for her. The almighty assassin was captured and sent to Endovier until she dies." Lysandra finishes.

"A year later is when my father started the contest for a chosen one to become his champion." Dorian started, "every one inside his court went to fetch the best warriors,  thieves and assassin's in the land, but I knew none of them could match the famous Celaena Sardothien. So I set out to Endovier, a camp for slaves to work in the salt mines, and found my contestant. In short; she won the competition and became the King's Champion."

"She slaughtered the King's enemies, or so we thought. She was actually letting them free and giving the King false heads that came from the sick house. In Celaena spare time she would talk to the Princess of Eyllwe, they were good friends. A few months later there was a threat on Nehemia, the Princesses life." Chaol paused. "The King informed me that he wanted to have a private talk with her which could only end badly, but I did not tell Celaena. I set up extra guards around Nehemia. A few weeks later, I was kidnapped. Celaena, my girlfriend at the time went to find me. She found me strapped to a table in a warehouse, she fought her way to me only to be stopped by a former associate from her time as an assassin. He told her of what was planned for Nehemia. That I kept it a secret,  that the King was planning to talk to her tonight. The kidnapping was just so she could see the truth. Celaena ran to the castle, out ran my horse. But it was all to late."

"When I arrived at the crime scene there was blood everywhere. Celaena turned to me death in her eyes, and struck. I survived with this." He pointed to a scar on his cheek. "If Dorian hadn't used his magic, I would be dead. Celaena was thrown into the dungeons and when she got out, she had her revenge."

"She was calm after that,  slowly recovering until one day she had to see Nehemia again do she opened a portal using Wyrd marks, an ancient form of magic. The portal was left open for too long and a monster from another world came through the portal. We got there just in time to help her. But her dog Fleetfoot, the monster took her with it as it went back into the portal. Being the smart person I am, I dive into the portal for her. Bad idea. Celaena who was being held back by Dorian, hit his head against the stone, releasing her. She ran throw the portal after me. That is when I learnt that she wasn't human, that she was Fae. Magic was not gone in the other realm, so she shifted and fire circled the beast, killing it and allowing me and Fleetfoot to escape. After that, after I saw she was Fae I asked the King to send her to Doranelle,  a city that we have been at war with for months, the city ruled by the Queen of the Fae."

"I sent her there so that she could stay, be protected by the other Fae. But on the docks she told me her true name, and I knew she would come back. She gave me a piece of paper with a date. The death of Evalin and Rhoe Galathynius. All the pieces of the puzzle joined together. That she was the Heir of Terrasen, The one person able to take down Adarlan's Empire." Chaol takes a deep breath.

"She went to Doranelle, we're she trained with a certain Fae by the name of Rowan Whitethorn." Aedion says

They continue to explain the life of the most remarkable person in existence, Aelin Ashryver Galathynius...or should I say Aelin Ashryver Whitethorn Galathynius.

Aelin

I stare at my friends as they go through my life. A tear drops down my cheek, soon I break down in tears. I will watch each of them die, watch each of their pains and griefs go past them. It will go on forever. Just like the prophecy said...
