Percy
For the second time in the same week I wake up panicking, until I see I am in the infirmary. I look around and try to get up, not a good idea. My body feels like I just drank gorgon's blood again, except this time I took the death vial. I notice Exo sleeping in the cot next to me and I nudge him awake and I ask,"What happened? I remember Erebus and the girls being captured, but I can't remember what happened after".
He stares into space for a minute and slowly says,"I can't remember what happened either. I just remember feeling overwhelming anger and screaming something. The rest is either too foggy or just a blank".
I summon my powers from Hestia to heal us both and get up, and I hear a clank. I look down and see my arm is chained to my bedpost by a celestial bronze and imperial gold cuff. I pull a little and black fire covers my arm and I break the chain. Exo does the same with his except he uses his demon powers to break his cuff. We both decide to use stealth and join with the shadows so nobody sees us. We travel to, and enter, the Big House. The gods are having a meeting with their children and the Hunters. We enter in the middle of Zeus speaking,"They must be destroyed! The power they hold could destroy us all! Artemis, Nyx, you've seen firsthand what they've become. You know what I'm saying is true!".
I see my fiancée and Exo's girlfriend thinking while everyone watches them with anticipation. They come to a silent agreement and Nyx sadly says,"I don't like to do this, but we must agree. They've both become too corrupted by their darkness in them".
Both Exo and I look on in shock and the entire Hunt voices their objections to this idea until Artemis silences them with tears in her eyes,"Girls! I hate the idea as much as you do. But both said that they were Skotádi. The Percy and Exo we know are dead".
We decide to intervene now,"You're right Artemis, Percy and Exo are dead. You and Nyx just killed them".

Artemis
"You're right Artemis, Percy and Exo are dead. You and Nyx just killed them".
I freeze as both of them step out of the shadows. Percy gives a sad laugh,"I guess I should've expected this. The fates are cruel to every hero, but my fate seems to be the worst".
Exo just looks at Nyx with a look of betrayal on his face,"I gave you my heart, and you do this to me? Me and Percy should've taken Erebus' deal to join him, then we wouldn't have had to deal with this".
I instantly feel regret for what I just said and every god in the room hurls their energies at the two figures, except for me, Nyx, Hades, Hepheastus, Apollo, and Hestia. They're knocked back and are blown through the wall and every Hunter runs outside to check on them. I put my head in my hands and cry with Nyx while Hestia looks at us murderously,"You both let them die with broken hearts. No hero deserves that".
Before she can say anything else two figures walk in through the hole they made accompanied by the Hunt. Their eyes are glowing, red for Exo, and solid black for Percy. They look at every god and Percy says,"You can't kill us" and Exo finishes,"Because we are infinitely more powerful than you, maybe even stronger than Chaos".
They both turn away from us and time slows down for all of us and I hear Percy say,"Perseus Jackson is dead along with Fóvos, they died when their heart was broken again by the woman they loved. I am Skotádi, the hatred in every person's heart. I am a heartless being. With these words I sever any connection to my past life" and a green aurora leaves his body.
Exo says,"I am no longer Exo the demon. He died when he was betrayed by the woman he gave his heart to. I am Skotádi, the evil in every person. I am a heartless being. With these words I sever any connection to who I was" and he stays the same except his fangs grow long enough that they poke out of his mouth.
They unfreeze time for the gods they trust and the Hunters so they can say their goodbyes. He allows Alexa, the Sins, Hannah, Mara, Rebecca, Thalia, and Nico to join them. Before they walk out Percy and Exo turn to us, the gods that hurt them,"We feel bad for leaving you with nothing for your troubles. So allow us to leave a reminder".
The shadows in the room wrap around us, god and demigod, and when Exo clenches his fist barbed spikes shoot out, cutting us all shallowly in multiple places. We are released when they leave and everyone charges to the top of Half Blood Hill to see Percy and Exo confronting Erebus for the last time. He laughs at them,"Well that was a good show. Will you join me now Percy, Exo?".
Both walk forward with their weapons drawn and appear behind Erebus sheathing them and both say,"I am Skotádi, the hatred and evil in the world. And with this action I cast off all ties to the gods of Olympus".
Erebus disintegrates as multiple gashes and cuts appear on his body. His essence flies to Percy and Exo, turning the shadows around them into shivering shapes. Both turn and Percy says with a emotionless tone,"The prophecy is completed, darkness has overcome darkness".
Tartarus appears along with Chaos and they both look at them with pity, and look at all of us with utter loathing. Percy and Exo both say,"Father" and Tartarus nods,"It's time to come home, Skotádi".
They simply nod and Chaos opens a portal. Before Percy and Exo entered the portal they turned and took one last look at us,"Goodbye".
That was the last time I saw my true love Percy Jackson. Knowing that I had driven him to become Skotádi, a man incapable of feeling anything for anyone.

Please don't be mad at me for ending it this way! I'm sorry! But this is what I had envisioned from the start of Artemis's and Percy' relationship. I'm already working on a second book but I might be traveling for New Years so I don't know if I'll get a good Wi-fi connection to publish the chapters. I promise I will publish as soon as I have them written up and a Wi-fi connection. So do me a favor ,all of you, and stay frosty.

Okay I've managed to get the first chapter of the next book published. The book is called 'Heartless' so go check it out.
