My name is Percy Jackson, was my first thought as I woke to the horrid screams of people, lying in the dirt, with their life draining from their bodies as their blood soaked into the ground next to them, turning it to mud. Yet thats not what scared me, what scared me were the most were the monsters that lay next to them,giants with single eyes which stared out at me with hatred of which I have never seen before, hatred for reasons I do not know, or cannot remember.
Out of nowhere, something foreign grabbed the back of my leg, immediately I whirled around, quickly backing up away from whatever wanted to take ahold of me. But almost just as instantaneous, I stopped backing away. Before my eyes lay a beautiful blonde girl, but it wasn't her appearance that caught my attention, nor her grievous-looking wounds which were leaking blood as quickly as a severed sieve, it was her eyes. They were a sort of gray I had never gazed into before, gray, like an oncoming thunderstorm, which covered the sky with rolling grey clouds, while filling it with the sound of monstrous drum-like thunder.
I could see that she was on the edge of death, so, in an effort to make sure her passing was as comfortable as possible, I folded my legs indian-style, putting her head in my lap. As I gazed at her face, I saw her lips moving, but her voice was whisper-soft. I leaned in closer to her, trying to hear the words clearly, when I caught on to what she was saying,"Percy...cough...cough...why?...Why did you…..cough,cough….turn on us?" With those last words the strong emotion of which I saw built in her eyes disappeared, turning dull and lifeless.
And only a moment later, the dim lighting of the cave was expanded by a materializing golden light. Turning my head away, as I somehow knew that looking directly upon the light would end my existence forever, I heard a voice, filled with raw emotion,
"Because of your crimes, Percy Jackson, you are to be judged by the Four Horsemen….. For your sake, you better hope they choose to not hand you over to me."
