Twenty Eight

"[Y/N]. [Y/N]. [Y/N]."

"What?" You snapped spinning around.

You gasped at what you saw. Your dream land. You were sleeping. But what caused you to fall asleep in the first place? Morpheus stood in front of you with his father, Hypnos; his half-sister, Abigail; Nike, Abigail's mother; Rebecca, a celestial demon; and Thanotos.

"We had to get you here for an important meeting. The Olympians have been coming down to your world far too much in the past few months, and it's making the monsters restless. It's making demons restless. So, this is the safest way to speak with you." Morpheus explained.

"Speak to me?" You questioned.

"Yes. We need to let you know of something. Something that could benefit you in what you are trying to accomplish. Saving that half-breed and his brother." Morpheus said half-breed like Draco Malfoy calls Hermione Granger a mudblood.

"We believe you don't need to do this to save your boyfriend. Because it needs to be bigger than just some teenage fling. You need to save us in the end." Nike said. "And you will, because you have my blessing."

"Eris and Nemesis have sided with the GDC." Hypnos said.

"Of course, they have." You said completely ignoring what Moroheus and Nike were saying.

"We're sending you some help in the form of Rebecca Midden. She's the most powerful demon god there is." Nike said. "And you are one of the weakest. You can't win against him. You couldn't have even won against Akemi and Claudia without a littke bit of luck and help."

Thanks for the self-esteem boost, Goddess of Victory.

"I have to go now. I promised Tyche that I would go to Vegas with her. Come on Abbie" And with that Nike and Abbie dissolved into nothing.

"Is what she said true?" You asked the gods remaining.

"Rebecca is the only one who can defeat him. Defeat the entire GDC. You had trouble with just one. Wait for the entire organization coming at you while you protect your boyfriend. You'll lose, at the best. You'll die, at the worst." Hypnos explained.

"Rebecca will be at your place when you wake up to get the plan." Moroheus explained as Rebecca dissolved into nothingness.

Morpheus looked at his father who nodded snd the teo of them dissolved. Thanotos was the only one remaining.

"What are you doing here? You're normally loud and voicing your opinion over everything. So, what's up?" You asked turning to your father's most trusted and only friend.

"I came as moral support, but I didn't agree with them. Nike shouldn't have told you that. She shouldn't have given you the win, but tell you would fail. You had trouble with your powers, yes, but they've improved. And you have surpassed the court's and the house's expectations. Your father is proud of you. Your mother is proud of you. Camp is proud of you.

"I'm proud of you. Which is why," he pulled out a key, "I'm giving you this to call for reinforcements. Because I know you. You don't follow what the gods say, but you understand the consequences of what they are trying to do. And you are being selfish which is what this world needs. It needs selfish people that won't give up on their love. And I don't trust Rebecca. Take this key, and win."

And you did.

You woke up from your slumber to hear a knock on your door. Rebecca Midden was there on the other side.

"So, what's your plan?" she asked.

"Protect my friend. He is going to be the sacrifice, and when the eclipse passes we are okay." You explained.

"Why don't we just go and wipe them out? That way nothing like this happens ever again." she said.

"Because they're still people. They still have a life, and they're apart of some cult. And we need to free them." You argued.

"The only form of free they'll ever go for is death."

"It's genocide."

"It's right. You're thinking too small. All this for a boy. We need to take action before they even take the chance our defenses are low."

"How would you know? You haven't been fighting this you're entire life!"

"I'm the general of my parent's celestial army."

"And who would your parents even be? Aries and Leo?"

"No. Schedar and Cepheus."

"Yeah, and my father is Hades, god of the underworld. What is your point exactly?"

"You have no experience."

"I have no experience? I fought in two wars! This is going to be my third one. Did you have to fight in New York when you were seven to protect your adoptive family from dying? Did you have to fight against giants, get banished to Tartaros, and almost turned into a gold statue? No. I don't think so. Did the person who had become more like family come to you when your cousin was missing? No. Did you have to watch as your family died-."

"So, they lied to you too. You never had a family. That family you had was not your real family. Give me the key."

"The key?"

"Yes. We can end it now if you'll just give the key."

"No genocide."

"It's not genocide."

"Yes it is!"

"Just give me the fucking key!"

"No."

"GIVE ME THE KEY!"

"Never." And with that finally word you put the key in your mouth and swallowed it.
