"You Bitch, you killed her!" I screamed. Everyone gasped. I knew something was wrong because even Annabe- I mean Annabitch was looking at me, more like behind me, in awe and fear.

I turned and was surprised when I felt a column of feathers, hit my face. I had wings.

Two beautiful, magnificent, six-foot, wings. I laughed. This was gonna be fun. "Do you see? He is an abomination!" Screamed Annabitch, to the campers.

"Who believes this...this monster, is innocent!" She asked the campers. The crowd murmured and looked at each other. Out of the crowd stepped Andromeda. I panicked for a second.

"I believe...no I know, he is innocent. I don't care what you say." She said with determination. Annabitch glared at her but she stood her ground.

"Well looks like your outnumbered. Perseus Jackson, you are hereby banished from this camp. You will be captured and brought before Olympus for trial." I looked at her like 'you don't say

"Well remember this, Athena spawn. You have committed various crimes and sins. Justice will be delivered." With that, I uncapped Riptide and pointed it at her.

"I, Perseus Jackson Lux, Bringer of Justice, sentence you, Annabeth Chase, to 6 days of punishment with hellfire for your sins." For a moment nothing happened.

And it was getting awkward.

Annabitch was about to say something but suddenly flames started coming out from the ground. It was just like the time with Echidna. But this time the flames instead of consuming her were getting sucked into her body.

Then she let out the most blood-curdling scream I've ever heard. I knew what was happening and I didn't want to be a part of it.

The flames were burning her immortal essence and body inside out. It wouldn't kill her, I made sure of that. The immortality given to her wouldn't be able to stop me from killing her if I wanted to anyway.

She writhed in agony while the campers watched in horror. "Listen here, and listen well campers." They turned towards me in fear. "Don't bother trying to heal her. It's not possible for you all. The flames will disperse at the end of six days on their own. As for you all, you have betrayed me. Your punishment will come in due time. But since you were swayed by her..."I said pointing towards a writhing Annabeth, "I will lessen your punishment"

Some campers looked relieved that their punishment would be lessened. While some were scared at the prospect of getting a punishment.

"Now" all heads turned towards me once again "I must take my leave, I will be back again...that I will assure you"

Saying that I took off, with a flap of my new wings. I landed in the forest to collect my bag. I was about to take off but then I remembered I had nowhere to go.

I wondered if I should visit my parents. I decided against it though. Why put them in trouble. I finally decided on calling Lucifer. I wondered if he would listen to me.

I sat in a meditative position. I searched within myself for the Flame. It burnt brightly, clearing all doubt and uncertainty. It was the giver of Enlightenment. I held out my hand into it. Instead of burning me, it glowed brighter. It spread warmth and hope throughout my body. It made me forget about my worries.

"Lucifer, if you can hear me...I need your help." I said concentrating on the fire.

'Hello, my champion. I was expecting you.' Said a deep voice that seemed to be coming from all around me.

'Alas, I cannot meet you in person. For I am banished to hell. The previous time, you had encountered one of my avatars... a version of me with, but a fraction of my power.' I was shocked by this.

A fraction?! His 'avatar' radiated power that made the Gaia look like an ant.

"I have come to ask you something," I said as calmly as I could.

'I know, my champion. You require a purpose, don't you?' it...no he, asked.

"I do" I replied. He seemed to be in deep thought. After a few seconds, he spoke. 'I have something I require to do. Unlike some others, I will not force this upon you...you may decline if you wish'

I replied without hesitation "I'll do it, no matter what it is. You have given me a new life. I trust you. I accept whatever you require me to do"

'Very well, young hero. I'm impressed. Though this challenge will not be an easy one, you will be required to find a certain...weapon of mine.' He said. I waited for him to continue. I knew this quest will be quite challenging.

'You will have to find the Flaming Sword of Eden'
