Okay, here is the first revised chapter. The next one will be up soonish. I am not reliable.
Prologue
I burst through the gates of Mount Othrys with Annabeth, Thalia, and Grover right behind me. We ran through hallway after hallway of monsters, vaporizing them with no problems.
We barreled into a huge room with hundreds of monsters surrounding a cold black throne that seemed to be made of sheer power. Kronos was seated there, waving a hand around the throne room as if saying "Pretty nifty, huh?"
Let me describe the place. The high, arching ceiling was decorated with stars and little saplings. There were little dancing skeletons and hourglasses dotting the walls, and finally a portrait of a cruel-looking man with pieces of light piercing from his skin was hanging behind the throne.
"Well, well. If it isn't our little heroes!" Kronos chuckled. I grit my teeth. I hated being called little, and I hated his chuckling. Basically, I hated anything to do with Kronos. I mean, even if he called me super-amazingly awesome and sexy, I would hate it because 1) He's like, a kajillion years old so EW, and 2) He's a faker.
"It is time…to meet your maker!" Thalia grinned.
Kronos looked scared. "You told mother?"
Annabeth made a snorting noise. "He's scared of his mom?"
He frowned. "Shut up, foolish half-blood! Have you ever had Mother Earth yell at you for not passing Villains 101? No, you haven't!"
I rolled my eyes and charged at the first line of monsters. I cut, sliced, and slashed, but for every line of monsters we took out, three more appeared.
I was losing hope. Where were the reinforcements the Olympians promised? That Dad promised? We were going to die here, but we'd go down fighting.
Cue the music!
"Where did the music come from?" Grover asked as he was clubbing a monster with a glass Coke bottle.
"It's the new surround sound! Pretty 'rad,' like those young monsters say, right?" Kronos nodded.
"Uh…sure." I wrinkled my forehead. I vaporized another couple lines of monsters. Thalia sent a few arrows at him and Grover and Annabeth tossed cans and apples at him.
Kronos frowned. "ENOUGH! THIS IS MADNESS!"
"No, this is SPARTA!"
Everyone looked at me. "Seaweed Brain say what?"
"Um…look! A flying monkey panda!"
A bright black light drew our attention. Kronos was cackling evilly while the ball of shadows sparkled and grew larger, into a bubble.
My eyes opened wide and I charged at him with Riptide, aiming straight for the heart. Before I reached him, he through the freaky bubble-thing at Annabeth, Grover, and Thalia. As soon as it hit them, they were knocked unconscious.
I slit my eyes at him. I reached my sword to stab him, but before I could, he sent a wave of energy that launched me toward the bubble that was resting on the ground.
"Nooooo fair!" I wailed as I was flying through the air.
A million things happened when I burst into the bubble. A million images flew through my mind.
A beautiful baby being born.
A phoenix flying out of the shadows.
A giant hand removing a key from the wall of an auditorium.
A palm tree shooting up fifty feet in the air.
And suddenly…nothing.
