The Beast
The wind howled like a wounded animal. It tore through the trees and ripped stems bare. The Beast shook himself. He wasn't cold,but he was getting angry. The leaves stuck in his black hair and at this moment he did look like a beast. He resented that. It wasn't his fault but still he had to suffer the consequences. He wasn't going to complain because that's what THEY want. They want to see him grovel and beg for mercy,beg for his beauty and beg for his place in Olympus. He wasn't stupid. He could live perfectly fine without them,but what would they do without their best warrior?
Burn? Fail? Crumble? Just like the rulers before them. He laughed at the thought.
"Sir," Lieutenant di Angelo said. "I'm sorry to interrup-"
"For the last time,Nico. Stop with the formalities. You knew me before this state and you know me now.
Nico smiled."I blame you. Making me second lieutenant… it was stupid of you."Nico took a deep breath before he said the words that changed everything."Perseus Jackson, Everything has fallen into place. The Fates have foreseen it. You will get your revenge. And you will be normal once again."
Perseus cocked his head. He's waited 3 decades,which is literally nothing for an immortal even one as young as he was,but now the time has arrived;he really couldn't care less. He doesn't care for revenge,he never did. Its only when he let's the Beast's rage ebb through him;Its only when he concedes. Then the Beast-he was melded with-gets its way. Gets to kill and seek revenge. That Beast is never satisfied though,Perseus tried to control it. Its difficult,an uphill battle but what's a challenge without a little difficulty that makes you mad and temperamental?
"Okay," Perseus said. He knew why Nico interrupted him here in The Sacred Garden but he still didn't want to leave.
The Sacred Garden was the last place he saw his mother, Sally. She was so kind and sweet but he remembers the Minotaur. Its foul breath and sharp claws slicing Sally. There was nothing he could do to help her. At the time he was twelve years old and pinned under a fallen tree. If Perseus closed his eyes he could hear her screams,smell her blood and feel his tears stream down his bloody, bruised face.
"Have you heard from Jason?" Perseus asked,his eyes still closed.
"Not really,"Nico shrugged."He met Aphrodite's daughter. Piper,I think he name was? Let's just say now he's in love and has devoted his entire life to her."
Perseus laughed. Jason was the only demigod younger than him. Both barely a century old, they had given up possible lives to be warriors for the Greek Gods.
"One day,I will return and get to see this 'Piper' who has finally snared Sparky."
Nico laughed."You know he hates that nickname,Right?"
"I'm glad it gives him displeasure."
Perseus tried to concentrate on the snow around him. His affinity with water was the strongest of the many he has. He opened his eyes and looked down. The prophecy he memorized when he first became a demigod was written fancily. He read over the words again:
'A daughter of an enemy shall fall
Into the grasps of despair
Heal what cannot be broken,
And unwind the unbreakable.
He who stands to destroy
Shall fail by perchance.'
I hope you like it! I know I do. This is a very sexy beast. Where's Annabeth you must be asking! I have no clue. My mind is just like 'prophecy' and probably 'tobias' and 'blue dauntless cake' cause that would be cool.
I'm actually really unsure of his so I really do need your opinion.
So review? Please! Maybe? Its just so I know its good!
