"As soon as the world turns to summer, the prophet shall usher forth the rise of what was forgotten and an age of anarchy."
-Prophecy of Delphi, The Oracle

an unknown time
How do you kill a God?
Aphrodite laughs, head tossed back with stars in her hair, "We are immortal. We are ageless. We will never die."
How do you kill a God?
Hera sighs, "You rob them of love and loyalty. They will be alone and unhappy, and eternity will seem like a punishment, but it is not death."
How do you kill a God?
Zeus declares, rather confidently, "You deny them their power. Poseidon nods his head in agreement. 'They will be weak and defeated, perhaps even chopped up into pieces, but it is not death."
How do you kill a God?
Apollo closes his eyes. "You strip them of their senses. Their eyes and they cease to see. Their ears and they are rendered silent. They will be in the dark, conscious and cut off for a millennium, but it is not death."
How do you kill a God?
Hades whispers, though still, his voice carries, "With another God. An immortal for an immortal. Era for an Era. A celestial being to strip another's soul." He pauses, the rest are silent. "A God for a God."
What about a Titan?
Blood, silence, blood, war cries, blood, screams, blood, annihilation.
What about a Titan? How do you kill a Titan?
Althea remembered that day. She could not understand what Hades said at that time, but she understood very well now. If she wanted to finish this job, she had to do it herself.
She slowly lifted from where she had fallen, there was no power left in Godkiller. She smiled slightly to herself.
As always, I am alone.
When she was finally able to stand upright, she looked around. At the top, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades were fighting with Kronos with all their might. Athena, Artemis and Hera were just around them, protecting them.
In a distance, Nico and Verina lead the army of skeletons, back to back, while the Artemis Hunters -led by Thalia, are located right across them, helping them.
Behind Amari were Frank, Jason, Percy, and Annabeth. Together with the demigods, they are trying to stop the monsters from entering Olympus.
Hermes, Dionysos, Hephaistos, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hestia and Persephone are fighting the Titans.
With the guardians, Grover surrounded the Furies. Centaurs were trying to cope with minotaurs. Leo was helping them.
Hazel, Piper, and River had gone to get the cure, but it was obvious that they wouldn't succeed.
Jack, Killian, Sebastian, Adrian, Will and Elizabeth were out on this battlefield. They were busy eliminating the people who shouldn't be around the Empire State Building.
Tyson, Ursula, Temperance, Triton, and Amphitrite were struggling to keep Atlantis from falling.
And in the middle of them was Amari, opposite Gaia. Amari knew what to do. More precisely, she could feel it. She tried to take firm steps with all her might. Gaia knew what is she doing, didn't stop her. Even when Amari was directly opposite her, she didn't do anything.
"You destroyed my life."
"I gave a meaning to your life."
"By taking it from me?"
"You don't have to do this but you will. This is in your destiny, have you forgotten? The day you were born it appeared in the stars."
Amari took a deep breath, she was right. Even if she did not think or objected to it, she was always aware of this day since the day she was born. Gaia slowly took off her armour. Nobody was paying attention to them. Amari slowly raised her arm, carrying the sign that symbolizes this day. She began to destroy Gaia using all the power within her.
Amari only wished I had said goodbye by destroying the old Titan's every piece of the body she had temporarily used, at the same time damaging her soul too and dragging them both to death.
