The Rising of the Skies

I woke up frustrated, got up from my bed and started walking it was still 2 or 3 in the morning but I didn’t think I could sleep after the dreams.
I started walking along the river when I saw a woman standing in front of me. She wore jeans and a white blouse she had dark gray eyes and looked as if she had never laughed I felt like I should turn around and run away but I was not sure that would help.
She had a strange presence and it felt as if she was a god so I thought about all the gods and recognized that she was Athena, Goddess of wisdom and Annabeth’s mother.
She hadn’t even looked at me all the time and was staring at a river.
‘Steven Jones’ she said with an angry tone ‘Son of Poseidon I’m sorry if you think I’m rude but I dislike sons of Poseidon’
‘Why are you here’ I asked
‘To warn you’ she replied
‘About what?’ I asked
‘About the choice that you are going to make’ she answered
‘What do you mean’ I asked
‘In the future you are going to make a choice that will change your life for the better or worse’ She said ‘I am here to tell you that one choice of yours will make the world fall and the Gods will be destroyed and the other choice will require a sacrifice’
‘What are you saying’ I asked shocked
‘I don’t know what will really happen but I am sure that you will make a choice that will change your life and everybody you know’ she said ‘There will be two choices unless you make a choice of your own which I think is unlikely because you are Percy Jackson’s brother. But your choice will decide who you care about the most you or the world.’
‘What are you talking about’ I asked
‘There’s only one choice that will save everybody if his remains are cut of more he will be back in 4-5 years so what will you do?’ she asked
And saying that, she disappeared in a flash of light while I looked away so I would not be disintegrated, I thought about what she had said for a while before I went back to sleep maybe for the last time.
The next morning the three of us left for Mount Othyrs on a rented car but Percy stopped the car just before we reached so that we did not attract much attention.
We walked the rest of the distance I did not tell anybody about last night because I wanted to keep it to myself for a while.
We peeked at the top and I saw the same place from my dreams but there were 5 demigods and 2 laistrygonians. We would be able to handle them by ourselves but we didn’t want to take a risk.
There was a casket kept in their middle on a high platform and they were talking about something I could not understand.
Our plan was simple Percy and me were going to distract them all while Annabeth opened the casket and cut off the remains of Uranus wearing her Yankees cap which would turn her invisible.
We began our plan and it almost failed because as soon as we were taking our positions the laistrygonians saw me and Percy and 3 of the demigods ran and the 2 laistrygonians ran towards us.
We ran away from them so they would not see Annabeth and we began fighting I went for the longest demigod ducked his attacks and just as I was about to kill him the shortest one pushed him aside and I killed him completing the last line of the prophecy.
We killed the three demigods and the 2 giants I was really surprised at Percy’s skills because he was 2 times faster than me.
We saw the other two demigods dead and Annabeth cutting everything she saw in the casket.
‘So work’s done right’ I asked Annabeth
‘No, not really’ she replied
‘Do you hear that’ asked Percy
‘Hear what’ I said
‘That sound’ he said as we walked towards the entrance of the mountain
What I saw scared me so much that I felt that I should kill myself before they arrive.
I saw at least 5 dozen monsters coming up and there was no escape except jumping into the sea and Percy was the only one who would be able to survive that fall and maybe he could take one person with him. I realized what I had to do I knew the choice I had to make which would not be easy.
‘NO’ I yelled at Annabeth and pushed her to the ground and I kicked at Percy’s leg so he fell.
I took out my sword and held it to Annabeth’s neck.
‘What are you doing’ Percy said
‘Isn’t it obvious’ I replied ‘I’m joining the winning side’
‘Leave her’ Percy said ‘She was right about you’
‘She wasn’t right about me Percy’ I said ‘It was your disbelief that changed me’
The whole army came up to the hill and was about to attack when I shouted
‘NO’
The whole army listened to me and stopped in their places.
‘Percy’ I said ‘Say goodbye to your girlfriend’
I pushed Annabeth into the sea slowly and as I threw her Percy jumped into the sea himself to save her.
The whole army was staring at me and I said ‘I, Steven Jones pledge myself to Uranus’
