“The Challenge- Jorge Rivera Herrans (unreleased) “cause i’d rather die than grow old without the best of you.” ☠︎︎
you and piper met at camp half blood. you arrived the same summer and you got close with her. you trained together, learned your powers, and did everything together. you two were inseparable, no denying that.
piper has always been powerful. it was a known fact. she radiated her mothers power. she was one of the only aphrodite kids with charmspeak, and one of the 7 of the prophecy. that was until she gained the throne of the her mom in olympus, becoming the new goddess of love and beauty
you heard the news and soon after were given a quest to go to olympus. you found her there, and she apologized for leaving to take the throne. you could tell how badly she regretted it. VERY badly. so you forgave her and ended up dating, and eventually took a throne alongside her, which piper demanded to be made. when you guys got married, which was forced upon you guys by aphrodite, being the god of love. not that you minded it much.
time skip the battle of manhattan, a few years later. you went away to go fight, piper staying in olympus to keep the throne going, even though she hated you going alone. well, the battle ended but you never came back. no one knew what happened to you. you just… vanished.
now piper is being forced to choose a new girl to take the throne alongside her, a warrior who would fight for olympus. she didn’t want to, so she was stalling, believing you would still be out there somewhere. but aphrodite kept pushing, so she decided to make a challenge. one he knew only you could do.
“whoever can string my wife’s old bow and shoot through 12 axes cleanly will be the new queen. sit down at the throne, and rule with me as the queen.” she said, his words growing heavy when he heard someone laugh in the corner.
she could recognize that laugh anywhere. you were finally back. she didn’t even have to look at you to know it was you. she hid a smile, looking around the room suitors.
