Percy's POV:

'175... 176... 177... 178... 179... 180...' Instinct counted humorously as I ate popcorn as I saw my life thread dangle from the fates hands

I lifted my left arm up and checked the time before going back to eating popcorn. Finally taking pity on the whole room I sighed as I stood up despite the soreness in my joints.

"Well, this was fun, can we move on from this now?" I say in a tone that causes everyone to stay there staring at me speechless

Finally, Atropos blinked and stared at me, stunned.

"How are you still alive?" Atropos says confused and I smirk

"When you cut my thread, and attempted to end my life you forgot one, very important thing" I say as Phoenix's eyes sparkle with amusement and the fate's tilt their heads "I'm Percy Fucking Jackson"

"That doesn't make any sense" Clotho said as she tried to figure out what was wrong

At that moment, Skyla flashed into the room holding a satchel and froze when she saw the dead quiet room.

"Is this a bad time?" Skyla asked as she saw the broken thread and then looked at me to find my signature smirk

"Nah, your good, the fates here just tried to cut my life short" I respond calmly as I fought off the urge to just pass out

"Oh, really now?" Skyla said as she turned to her nieces and her eyes pulsed with power "And tell me, why did you try to kill my friends friend?"

"He disrupted fate!" Lachesis shouted and Skyla tilted her head

"Really? Because from what I heard, the prophecy was complete" Skyla says simply and the fates turned red in the face

"Phoebus Apollo!" Atropos yelled at the sun god "Summon Delphi to the throne room now!"

Suddenly a green fog appeared and the familiar figure of the spirit of Delphi appeared and looked around.

"Delphi, recite the prophecy given to Zoe Nightshade" Clotho demanded and I saw a small smile being repressed on Delphi's lips

"Of course" Delphi said as she opened her mouth and more fog spewed out "Five shall go west to the goddess in chains

One shall be lost in the land without rain

The bane of Olympus shows the trail

Campers and Hunters combined prevail

The Titans curse one must withstand

And one shall be saved by an unforeseen hand" Delphi recited and I smirked as the fog stopped spewing out of her mouth and she looked at the fates "That Prophecy was completed when Zoe was saved by Reyna Avila Ramirez Arellano's Shield as it intercepted Atlas' spear" Delphi finished and Skyla looked at the Fates who were now huddled up next to one another

"So, you were wrong, and fate wasn't changed" Skyla concluded as she snapped her fingers and a portal opened "Now will you please leave this throne room and not mess up again?" The fates nodded before they stepped into the portal

As Clotho stepped into the portal it snapped close before I felt myself finally losing consciousness. My knees buckled and Skyla instantly caught me and laid me down.

"I'm going to go to sleep now" I mutter before I allow myself to succumb to my sleep deprivation
