Artemis's POV

War, what a disgusting idea. My step sister Athena is all about battle plans and my step brother, the God of War. How can they bare the idea of constantly being near this gory state?

The memory of Ice smiling replays in my head. The familiarity and the warmth that it gave makes my heart melt. But we are at the brink of war and I can't let any thing distract me.

Ice casually approaches me he asks "Are you going to help or are just to afraid too get your hands dirty?" I give him a glare which sends him into a light chuckle. "Oh no will it get my brand new dress messy! Will it ruin my perfectly manicured nails?!" Ice mocks dramatically.

"Well if you had been paying any attention on what I do then, you would know that I am not some goddess that constantly has to top up her makeup!" I snap, was he being serious!

"Oh I have been paying attention." Ice smirks. Before walking off to the now chaotic battle field.

Ice's POV

Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a limping figure charging towards me. I could hear the light ping as Artemis gets ready to fire. I continue walking as if I haven't noticed anything and when I am 100% sure the figure is 1m behind me, I flash around and make a swift movement across its throat with my dagger. How I have missed this life?!

Creatures came rushing at me as if there was a competition to see who could kill me before they died themselves. A playful smile stretches across me and I feel like I am beaming with joy. I could imagine a sun beam directly shining on me as if I was in the spotlight. "Welcome to the Who's going to kill me show where the title literally gives away what the show is about. I am your host Ice Heart, sit back and get comfortable as we get on with the show. Our first contender is an..." I peer at my opponent it was immensely attractive; but if you looked through the mist you could see that it had wrinkled skin, with razor sharp teeth and blood red eyes. "An. espousai!" I present to all the wide eyed allies our side had obtained through out the course of the discovery of the prophecy. In the distance I could see Artemis fighting of a drakon alongside her brother. Her silvery white hair glistened next to Apollo's golden complexion. I could practically smell her concentration and determination, I attempt to enter her emotions and feel a strong amount of disgust at the blood and goriness that occurs during wars. I would of felt sympathy if I was someone who hadn't been trained to fight for almost 10,000 years however, I unfortunately feel nothing.

"So you have heard of what I am! I didn't expect such a dumb mortal to know who I was." The empousai snarled.

"The empousai circles me as if I was its pray, which I probably am. It slowly moves closer covering the distance between us. Who will strike first? Probably the Empousai but..." and with that I plunge the long sword into its chest. "but I would like a try." An ear piercing scream came out of the Empousai's mouth, a howl of defeat or help either would satisfy me. One last breath was exhaled before I felt its body go limp in my arms. Within seconds it disappeared into millions of golden particles while its soul went down to Tartarus to be released after another a thousand years.

"One down a hell of a load more to go." I sigh.

Lots of killings later...

Third person POV - in the base

"We are not getting anywhere! These monsters are respawning every single second and I am not sure how many more people we can spare." Ares yelled.

"I will not allow it, I can't let them win!" Zeus rants at the top of his voice. "If we were to give in...to surrender. Our ancestors would gain power and our right to be on Olympus,..to..to be a God would be demolished in an instant! We must fight!" A faint clapping sound was heard in the distance, and everyone turned to look at the one and only End. One of his hands were curled around a vial with a thin layer of liquid inside and the other around two pieces of fabric, both pieces of material had ragged edges with strand of thread as it had been torn.

"What are you holding?" Hera finally asks the question that was on everyone's mind.

"Oh this?" End smirks while holding up the objects. "Well it as come to my attention that there is a prophecy that speaks of a way to beat us. Let me refresh your mind!"

The brother of the creator will fight,
Earth and Time shall arise,
The betrayed, the forgotten and the tortured shall love again.
And the maiden goddess will have a affection for one,
A kiss to win the battle,
A kiss and the lost hero will return

"What does this prophecy have to do with the objects?" Aphrodite questions.

"You really are a dumb blonde! *I have nothing against blondes!* These objects are going to help me, most of the prophecy has already happened and now there are only two lines left." Chaos continues. At this news everyone looks at Ice and Artemis who were standing on opposite ends of the group, both of them were clearly distressed and suprised. "Ah so they don't know either maybe we should bring them a little closer!" Ice and Artemis get pulled towards the front by an invisible force. Discomforted expressions crossed both of there faces and everyone could see that they were trying to move away from each other.

"Why are you doing this?" Ice snarled.

"I find pleasure in your pain, of course. Do you want to know why you feel like an hot iron is being pressed against your skin? Why you feel like acid is being poured on you, every time you get to close to each other? Well I'll tell you... because I made it happen!" End made a sharp movement downwards causing Ice's shirt and cloak to tear open making his tatoo visible, his hood fell off his head revealing his face. "It was a reminder of your duty, I only made the reminder more painful." Artemis gasps at the sudden jolt of an stinging sensation.

"This still doesn't explain anything about the objects, despite the fact that you want to make sure that the last lines don't happen." Artemis whispers.

"Well, if you insist. Do these look familiar?" End cackles whilst shaking around the pieces of fabric. The Olympians expressions had not changed from there curious appearances however both Artemis and Ice had a dawn of realisation. Fabrics come in vast quantity of colours and the ones that were being held in End's firm clasp were silver and midnight black. "If you have figured it out I will give you a hint...your cloaks!"

Ice could feel the eyes of the Olympians stares as they took in the new information; Artemis shifts from side to side with a ferocious glare at the brother of my adopted father.

"And the vial, what magical potion have you been brewing?" Zeus asks.

"Not me! I haven't been brewing anything, it's them." End points at the two people kneeling on the floor. "A tear, a tear of pure sadness for a loved one, a first tear. That's all it takes for me to wield it at my own will. Love is a force to be reckoned with..."

"What are your intention if I at ask?" Artemis questions politely despite the roaring fire inside of her.

"You see that is why I like you Lady Artemis, you are a fighter and am capable of holding your anger unlike Ice Heart. So that is why I am not going to kill you, I might need another one if those tears you have been suppressing. Please don't make me regret this decision, just don't try to break out because then you really will be dead. Goodnight!" Without another word End poured the tear on to the two torn pieces of cloak in doing so a silver light began to circle the fabrics'. Elegantly they flew out of End's hands and floated over to Ice and Artemis, everyone was so dazzled by the objects that they didn't think of the consequences. For without a sound each pieces of cloth went to its original owner and tightly pressed against their mouth. Ice and Artemis took a sharp breath gasping for air but before anyone could help they were out like a candle and the fire was put to rest.

"I thought you said your weren't going to kill them?!" Aphrodite squeaks.

"Of course I didn't kill them, I am a man of my word."

"Oh really?"

"Yes really!" Chaos spoke and then vanished in a cloud of smoke bringing Ice and Artemis with him.

Authors note

I realise that every chapter I am like "I am sooooo sorry for not updating" which I am of course but I am sure nothing can quite make up for not writing because it already happened. Over the last month or so I went through this huge writers block and literally could not think of anything to write. I have a draft of my first attempt on this chapter but it just wasn't clicking so I spent my time being an ordinary reader on Wattpad and if you look at my recent activity you can tell that I have been doing a lot of reading. But each time I opened up the app I just felt guilty not writing anything for those people that are reading this book and I thank you for being patient. I must say now that I am not going to lie to you and see that I am posting next week because who knows if I am. Therefore I am sorry to say but from now on this will be a slow process I might write all the chapters and then release one every week, idk. All this is happening because I have unfortunately lost interest in writing this story.

On a happier note let's summarise what happened. Ice and Artemis have now found out about each others feelings and so have the other Olympians. By the way I don't hate Aphrodite I am using her as the annoying one as she the goddess of Love and the whole idea of this story is about Ice and Artemis's love for one another, which I am pretty bad at writing. Speaking of Aphrodite IDON'T I repeat DON'T have anything against blondes in fact one of my best friends is a blonde so pleaseDON'T be offended. I personally imagine Artemis to have silvery white hair with pale skin and blue or green eyed depending on her mood, others imagine red hair with green eyes which I am A ok with. End has collected Artemis's tear and a piece of both of their cloaks. The idea of Ice's shirt and clock being teared open adds to the idea that he is slowly having to reveal who he is. Like I said in the last chapter or the one before I wanted to make End a cruel yet funny villain who laughs at his own jokes.

That should conclude my summary and my 'apology' note. I hope and pray that you will remain patient as I try to please y'all.

Plz comment any complaints, ideas and thoughs and vote!

Love y'all
