Side Character Supremacy

Summary:

Everyone knows the story of Percy Jackson. Nymphs get told his story at bedtime. Whispers of his heroics have reached demigods across the globe.

But what about the people in the background, who didn't have a fairytale beginning, and who didn't have a fairytale ending?

The forgotten. The invisible. The unwanted.

We never take a minute to stop and wonder how their stories go. How they feel.

Let's take a step back and see, shall we?

Chapter 1: Zoë Nightshade

Summary:

Zoë Nightshade. A girl who was born, and died, under the stars.

Chapter Text

what about zoë nightshade? daughter of a titan and an oceanid who was exiled. blotted out. because she placed her trust in the wrong demigod.

the lieutenant of artemis who went on a mission, knowing that she would not come back alive. but she went anyway. because of her devotion to artemis. because of her trust that bianca would be a better lieutenant than she. because of her belief.

zoë who, despite all that hercules and that damn sword put her through, still chose to trust percy. chose to give him her blessing to carry anaklusmos. who, despite all that she has been through, still chose to give up her life to save artemis.

zoë who is pushed aside to celebrate the accomplishments of others.

zoë who gave and gave and gave, only to recieve invisibility in return.

zoë, who died with a smile on her face and the stars in her eyes.

a few words, an ancient blessing, an eternal hero.

let the world honour you my huntress. live forever in the stars.

remember her. honour her. do not forget her.
