Darkness(Percy Jackson/Throne of Glass crossover)

Great, White Stag

Manon

"We had a plan. Storm into the palace take Aelin and leave. It didn't end well. Maeve was prepared, an army at her side. We defeated them, leaving no strength to remain. Maeve grabbed Rowan so fast, not even the centuries of training could of been able to stop it. In one quick motion, Rowan Whitethorn was dead. Aelin, she managed to find the fire that dwelled deep inside of her. Her screams were a volcano, erupting with flames." I say. "We barely escaped. And the fire, it was eating away at Aelin. It kept growing and growing, we had to stop it. So she opened a portal, a portal that lead here. That is were we met you." I gesture towards the couple holding hands.

"Wow...I am so sorry for your lose, all of you." Annabeth gets out. I feel the altitude of the plane start to drop. Finally, we've made it, thank gods. There is so much emotions in here, I swear I'm going to choke on it. 

"Wait a sec, you guys know of my true self now...I can finally get a proper meal." I smile, that will be wonderful. 

"Manon." Dorian says sternly. I only shrug.

"What exactly do you eat?" Percy daringly questions.

"The blood and flesh of man kind." I say coldly. 

"Oh..." Percy stutters.

The plane shakes, indicating that we have landed. The plane slowly goes to a stop. I jump out and start to walk towards long island. 

"Guys, I just had a thought." Percy says, everyone else catching up with me.

"Oh no," Thalia mumbles.

Percy glares at her before speaking. "If Aelin was the one who brought you here and knew how to do all that magic it stuff. Now that she's...gone, how will you get back?" My eyes widen. I didn't think of that.

"We'll find a way." Yrene says, so positive. Percy looks unsure, but remains silent. 

We walk past a man siting on a bench. Gods I'm hungry. Control, I have to have control...screw it, I haven't eaten probably in over a week, I'm starving. I lunge, my iron nails digging into his skin. I hear the others shouting but it is blocked out but the man's scream, oh I love that sound. The sound of men dying. I rip my teeth into him like a vampire, except I want more than just the blood. I tastes so good inside my mouth. I let go of the body and watch it tumble to the ground, wiping the blood of my mouth I turn turn to the others looking at me in shock.

"I got hungry." I say, and continue walking. Everyone slowly follows keeping their distance, every one but Dorian Havilliard who still insisted in walking next to me.

"What princeling." I say.

"You didn't have to do that." He comments. 

"You try going without food for more than a week then having it laid in front of you, begging for you to eat it." Dorian looks down. 

"Still, you could of least done it in private." I laugh. 

"Don't like to see me kill a man?"

"I don't like to see you eat a man." I shrug.

"Same thing." He looks at me questioningly. I just smile. 

"How much longer?" I hear Aedion ask from behind me.

"About ten minutes." Annabeth answers. 

My ears pick up a noise of someone coughing. I turn to see Thalia, coughing up blood. Well that isn't good.

"Thalia!" Annabeth shouts and runs over to her. Thalia's knees buckle and she falls to the floor in a coughing fit, blood pouring out of her mouth.

"Help her!" She begs. Yrene runs over to Thalia. She places her hands on her forehead and closes her eyes in concentration. After a little bit to time, Thalia stops coughing and starts to breathe normally. 

"That's all I can do. I can not fight against whatever bound you to that tree, it is too strong." Yrene lets go of Thalia and stands, Annabeth helps the hunter to her feet.

"We must continue." I say. Percy looks at me before continuing to walk. Annabeth let's Thalia use her for support.

"We have to hurry, she won't last much longer." Lysandra says. I sigh and start to pick up the pace.

We make it to camp eight minutes later. Percy rushes up Half-Blood Hill and places the Golden Fleece at it's roots. Slowly, the magic starts to heal the tree to it's former glory.

Thalia collapses to the ground. Her breathing normal.

"I'll take her to the infirmary." Annabeth says and attempts to pick her up.

"I'll help." Yrene offers, an does over to help Annabeth pick Thalia up and take her to the infirmary.

"Come on, Chiron is probably waiting for us." Aedion says. We all wall into the camp and towards the sky blue house.

"You're back." Chiron says as we reach the porch.

"Who are you?" He points at Chaol. "Where's Thalia, Annabeth and Aelin?"

"Chaol Westfall." Chaol introduces. "Annabeth went with Thalia to the infirmary.  Aelin is...she is dead. We have her body, we left it outside camp." Chiron's face turns grim.

"I am so sorry. She was such a strong girl, confident." There is a moment of silence before Chiron speaks again. "Come in, I'd like to hear everything about this journey." Chiron's form changes and soon we are standing in front of a man in a wheelchair. He rolls into the house and we follow him. We start to tell him the story, all of it.

A few minutes after we finish Chiron starts to say, "she needs a burial. What shroud will she have?"

"A great, white Stag." Aedion says automatically. Chiron nods.

"Consider it done."
