When Arachne awakens in Olympus, she finds herself transformed into the very person whose name once cursed her. Instead of the spider's fate she expected, she becomes Athena-yet not entirely. Amoung the marble halls and silken lies of the divine, she feels her mortal memories unravel, thread by thread. The gods smile, but their beauty hides rot; their laughter echoes like prayers gone wrong. The longer Arachne walks among them, the clearer the truth becomes-here, light and shadow are one, and every tale of glory is born from something twisted, cruel, and hungry.

Powerful
"In our History. The men have always been dominating the women. We have always been made weak and inferior. Always looked down. As if we created all the issues in the world. When in reality it was them. I'm so tired of our gender being their definition of weak. When in reality we are not equals. We are superior." Something registered in Alexis. Like everything Athena was saying was making sense. "Percy Jackson. Ask her the question you two were asked so long ago when you were saving your Satyr friend." Somehow I knew exactly what question she was referring to. I was still registering what was being said. I looked to Alexis. "Would you turn on Olympus?" She hesitated for a moment. Her eyes never left Athena's. "I'd burn it all down to the ground without hesitation." **** **** ***** I had a Quest. Save Percy Jackson. He can't leave the Underworld without my help. I had to go alone. To save Percy I knew what I had to do. I had to die.Complete
Together we prevail
"The other side Nico! We will see you there. Understand?" Nico's eyes widened. "But-" "Lead them there!" Percy shouted. "Promise me!" „I-, I will." Nico watched in horror how Percy promised Annabeth to always stay together, to never be apart again. Then, Percy let go and he and Annabeth fell down. All around, he could hear the others shouting and running to help. All too late, Percy and Annabeth were gone. Suddenly, Nico heard another sound. A strange crackling was increasingly more and more prominent, until it drowned the voices of the remaining five. Before he realized what was happening, the ground beneath his torso was crumbling away, larger and larger pieces were disappearing in the hungry darkness below. Nico did not have time to react. The next thing he knew, he was falling too. OR Three demigods fall into Tartarus after finding the statue of Athena Parthenos. For better or worse, it is not the first time for Nico.

However, one factor stands in their way, The curse of cabin 9. *book trailer inside* *do not read unless you have finished the blood of Olympus. (Duh.)* *All rights go to Rick Riordan* PG RATING DISCLAIMER: some people have told me that these events in the book resemble some scenes in "Trails of Apollo." Anything that seems to resemble Trails of Apollo is purely a coincidence. I have not read Trails of Apollo and I will not read it until I have finished this book. This book began long before the Trails of Apollo was published.Complete
The Untitled
"For the sun is situated in the center of the cosmos, wearing it like a crown." - Hermes Trismegistus. She's invisible one day, someone else the next. She doesn't know what she is, who she is, or what to do with herself, other than to fight against the people who hurt her. The gods. Those kids in school. The teachers who criticized her. They all hurt her, cast her out, and made her someone who nobody would be able to understand. Since, without a name, who are we? Are we the color of our skin? The shape of our nose? The secrets that we carry? Thus, it is her goal to make them question if they're who they say they are, or if they deserve a different life. Some she deems worthy of her love and affection, others she deems to doomed to Tartarus. The gods think differently though. Some think of her story as sad and a tragedy. Others find her power and choose to use it for their gain. For it is one they have never seen before, and one that can conquer the world. Chapters change POV, every part. This is an original piece of work, by the Typewriter.

Amaurosis
[Nico di Angelo x OC] Completed! "A life for a life. So, I gave her half of mine."

He was the manifestation of her dreams--no, her nightmares--, but new allies have surfaced. She is not alone anymore. And they must do everything in their power, combined forces, to ensure not only their survival but the entire world's.
