Percy's POV
Hell. That is the word that has described my life for the past 49 year's and 363 days. 49 years ago I was sentenced to Tartarus for
a crime I did not commit. The crime I was accused of was killing my best friend Grover Underwood. I am innocent, and the god's know this.
I was brought out of my dream as Kronos drove a blade through my shoulder" How is our little hero doing today" he sneered
"Better then ever" I mumble quietly
"So I think Ive been going to hard on you " he said "In fact to show you I'm sorry Ill let you go for a swim" he said with a cruel smile plastered on his face.
"Bring the pool over" Kronos yelled at a couple of dracaena.
"Please, no" I beg him
I am then unchained from the wall I was previously chained to and dragged over to a pool of water. Except this water is from one of the rivers of Tartarus, the river of pain. They roughly pick me up and toss me into the pool.
"Swim Poseidon spawn, swim" Kronos yells
As soon as I touch the water my skin feels like it is on fire, the river Styx was cold compared to this. As I try to swim, or at least some what control the water, it fills my lungs and I start to drown. I feel like I am going to die and I will finally be released from this hell I live in, my dreams are crushed as I am quickly pulled out by a cyclops. As soon as I can breath again, and feel the air come back into my lungs I hear Kronos say
"Ready to go again"
"Plea"-I didn't get to finish as I was shoved back under the water.
-LINE BREAK-
"Time to get up, I have fun activities planned today !" Kronos says sarcastically
I groan before, I am quickly yanked out of bed.
"Put these on, I got you some new clothes" Kronos says and throws a pair of clothes at my feet
I spent about 15 minutes trying to put on these clothes that feel like sand paper. I walk out to see Kronos smirking at me.
"We don't want you to get out of shape, so how about you do some exercises" Kronos says still smirking.
"How about no" I reply
" It wasn't a question!" He says, before grabbing me by the collar of my shirt and throwing me.
"Oh this will be fun" I say in my head.
-LINE BREAK-
I spent the rest of the day running and doing exercises, by the time I am done I'm pretty sure most of my skin will be graded off.
"Go change" Kronos says and throws me my tattered camp half-blood shirt and jeans.
As I am changing I see that many layers of skin are gone from my body and in many spots I am bleeding.
" Get out here now!" Kronos says
I hurry out and wait for him to speak.
"Heal him so he can be ready for some new "activities" I have planed for tomorrow, then return him to his cell" he says to a couple of dracnae.
Three dracnae walk over, one of whom is carrying water to heal me, big mistake. I quickly use my water abilities to levitate the water out of the bucket, I then quickly solidify it into multiple ice knives, I quickly force the blades through all three dracnae, in seconds they crumple to dust. I quickly grab 2 of the ice knives and combine them to make a short sword. I sneak around for about 5 minutes before I spot Kronos with his back facing quietly as I can I sneak over behind him. I quickly drive the blade through the back of his heart and cover his mouth so no one can hear his screams. I unleash all the pain, anger, and betrayal that was welt up inside of me. Soon Kronos is no more than a pile of dust.
