As the Python Rises, so does Solangelo

Part 29

Evaya POV
I collapsed as soon as we where in Olympus. Hey, I just fought a giant snake, I don't like snakes, well, Pythons but whatever! I couldn't focus. Thoughts were floating around. Mark is dead, I'm on olympus, might get killed by the gods, Connor is okay. Wait- Connor is okay! I sat up. "I don't like pythons," I mumble. Connor laughed. A stern look from Zeus shut him up. I quickly bowed. Zeus nodded. "Daughter of Apollo rise," he commanded. I did. "Tell us everything," Zeus said. So I did. Everything, I told him even about the chains and Mark, all of it. Oh, and I didn't leave out the eagle. When I finished it was Ares who spoke first. "My son. He died because he tried to cut off chains to SAVE YOU?!" He yelled. "Lord Ares, I tried to tell him not to, but he never let me finish. He did not die a coward, he fought. He died of Python poison," I said. Ares thought this over. Hermes spoke next. "We can't kill the girl. She has done to much for us to," he said. "Though she is quite powerful. We don't exactly need another powerful demigod," Athena countered. "Athena, I believe that she has done us good, I don't see the problem," Poseidon argued. "I, for one, don't think the girl will bring us harm," Demeter said. "My daughter won't turn against us. She is devoted to her future, she knows, and can become great things," Apollo said with a hunt of pride. Artemis, who had been silent, spoke, "if she joined the hunt, she could escape this," she said thoughtfully looking at me. "NO!" Apollo yelled, "this daughter of mine cannot be a huntress, if you want her, you must ask for my permission," Artemis looked amused, "brother, I believe it is the girls choice," she said. They both looked at me. If I went with Artemis, I'd be safe-ish, but, Connor and Will, my boyfriend and my brother. I bowed, "lady Artemis, I am afraid I cannot join. I would miss my brother too much. I've spent five years without him. I am sorry," I said, Artemis nodded. Zeus cleared his throat. "All in favor of killing the girl?" He asked. Ares, Athena, Zeus put their hands up. Zeus sighed. "The girl lives," Zeus said. "I shall transport them back," Apollo said. "Stay away from my son!" Hermes yelled. Connor froze, then said slowly, "why don't you like her? You warned me, of what?" Hermes pressed his lips together. "If, if you must know, I don't want you to break her heart, you know about Apollo girls," he said. Then, Connor started laughing. "That's---- that's why? Dad- father- I'll be fine." Connor said. Hermes raised an eyebrow. Apollo transported is back before Hermes killed Connor. "Thank you, my daughter," Apollo said. He turned to Will, "do not be disappointed that you are a healer. Healing is something that is mine, you will make me proud. Trust me," he said. Then, in turned into a stream of light, and vanished. All of us ran to the camp fire just in time for Marks burning of his shroud. I spoke some words of the sun. "It means I am grateful for what you have done, I owe you my life, may your soul find peace," I explained. The Ares cabin nodded.

Will POV

As we came back, I thought on the words my father had told me. Really, the only person I wanted to see was nico. I know, my sister gives up being a huntress because she misses me, but all I wanted to see was Nico. I mean, he was my boyfriend, right? I finally spot him. "Hey death boy!" I said walking up to him. He glared at me. Uh oh. That's when I felt pain on my cheek. He slapped me. SLAPPED ME! "Love ya too," I mumbled. He then hugged me. Then he stopped and glared again. "Okaaaaay? Do you love me or hate me?" I asked confused. He thought this over, "hate," he said. "Good, hates a very passionate emotion," I said sweetly. "Oh I'll give you the ultimate crime of passion. Murder," Nico threatened. (A/N what's that from?!? Guess correctly and I'll dedicate the next part to you!) "shut up you love me," I smiled. He sighed, "yeah I guess," I smirked. Then, kissed him, he kissed back. "So, you love me?" I asked. "I love you," he murmured. We were interrupted by Evaya storming over. "Seriously?!? I STOP WATCHING YOU FIR FIVE FREAKING SECONDS AND YOU ALREADY START TO MAKE OUT?" Evaya screams. "Well, no one asked you to watch," Nico pointed out. Evaya sighed dramatically, "no. No one did but, I fully have supported you guys and now, percy owes me ten drachmas." She said. Then she turned her back, "I'll pretend I didn't see this," she said, turning to us winking and flickered her wings, landing behind Connor. Then, scaring the Hades out of him when she jumped on his back. Joke was on her, he carried her over his shoulder as she screamed some not so nice things. "You know I really missed you," I spoke softly. Nico gave me one of his rare smiles. "I know," he said.
