AN: My first story, so cut me some slack. Reviews and feedback are much appreciated.

Percy picked up his sword and ran into the crowd. He dived over the first monster's sword and sweeped his legs from under him. He flipped his sword in his hand and smashed the hilt down repeatedly on the monster's face.

The second monster threw its javelin at Percy. Percy caught it, and threw it back impaling the monster. Another monster slashed at Percy with dual knives. The first knife stabbed him in the chest, and the seconde onw grazed his arm. The monster pulled out another set of knives. He began slashing wildly at Percy. Percy flawlessly dodged the knives and kicked the monster's hands, causing the knives to fly out. Then, he spun in a 360 and decapitated the monster.

How in Hades did he get himself into this mess?

4 YEARS AGO (THE FINAL BATTLE AGAINST KRONOS)

We fought through the hearth, kicking up coals and sparks. Kronos slashed an armrest off the throne of Ares, which was okay by me, but then he backed me up to my dad's throne.

"Oh, yes," Kronos said. "This one will make fine kindling for my new hearth!"

Our blades clashed in a shower of sparks. He was stronger than me, but for the moment I felt the power of the ocean in my arms. I pushed him back and struck again—slashing Riptide across his breastplate so hard I cut a gash in the Celestial bronze.

He stamped his foot again and time slowed. I tried to attack but I was moving at the speed of a glacier. Kronos backed up leisurely, catching his breath. He examined the gash in his armor while I struggled forward, silently cursing him. He could take all the time-outs he wanted. He could freeze me in place at will. My only hope was that the effort was draining him. If I could wear him down . . .But no.

He advanced with blinding speed. Grover—brave, stupid satyr that he was—tried to protect me, but Kronos tossed him aside like a rag doll. I sidestepped and jabbed under Kronos's guard. It was a good trick. Unfortunately, Luke knew it. He countered the strike and disarmed me using one of the first moves he'd ever taught me. My sword skittered across the ground and fell straight into the open fissure. Annabeth looked like she was about to jump into action, but it was too late. Kronos swung his sword at me. The sheer power of the blow sent me sprawling backwards. Even with the curse. It felt like inside, all of my bones were breaking. I was face first on the ground and I couldn't move. That;'s when Kronos stabbed me in my heel. The pain was excrutiating; like the Styx 100x over.

I can't seem to remember what happened next. All I felt was the cold release of death.

AN: Normal chapters will be longer. PEACE!
