Location: Tartarus
Somethings I never said about my sentence to Tartarus is that I will spend 100 years here. What I have learned is that 100 years is a 1 year on Earth. Which sucks I will go through lots of torture just to meet my torturers.
A list of my punishments:
Kronos - 24 years
Year of Rest (Odd right?)
Perses - 24 years
Year of Rest
Tartarus - 50 years / rest of sentence
—
They gave me this list of punishments but I find it odd why I have a year of rest, anyway from my fall I landed in a cage. And see the Titan of Harvest and Time Kronos. I look down to think how I even got here and why should I be here. Kronos turns around; "Well, well, look what we got here, the hero himself Perseus Jackson". I just look up at him and nod.
"Not feeling so heroic now, huh punk?" he says to me. Again I just nod waiting for my torture. "Don't worry Jackson, they gave you immortality for 100 years so you can experience all the pain we can give you and you won't die." My eyes open wide and I just collapse to the ground. "Heh" and that's the last thing I hear from Kronos before I start to get brutally attacked / torture.
24 years later
I do not feel like explaining 24 years of torture but anyway heres one year of rest.
"Well Jackson looks like your torture with me is done. Lucky aren't you hopefully Perses is much more brutal then I was." Kronos says. I run as fast as I can getting away from him. I look over my body looking at all the scars, bruises, and brokenness of my body. I could even barely run but I somehow managed to. I find a place to relax in this hellish place.
I finally close my eyes it's been so long since I've gotten rest. I got beated 24/7 and was never able to rest. I close my eyes and somehow fall asleep.
I wake up, and get a good look at myself again. My vision is very bad, they're swollen and have lots of bruises on them. I can barely think straight with all this pain I still feel. I attempt to get up but fall back down with my weak legs. I at least attempted 20 times to get up before I finally could. I could barely walk once I was able to get up. I pick a random direction and start to walk.
After about what I would call 30 minutes into walk. I feel a presence start to track me. I turn around and see nothing there. I look in all directions and I can't seem to find anything. Also if anyones wondering the quality of my clothes is shattered there's rips everywhere in my clothing. Kronos forced me to wear a mask when torturing me. I for some reason never took it off and I still currently have it on.
I walk a few more steps before I hear feet shuffling behind me. I turn around again to just to hear a faint woosh sound like someone or something just passed me. I turn around to continue my walk. I must be paranoid I think to myself. But thats when out of nowhere someone pulls a knife on me. They put it right at my throat. "Turn around NOW" The person says with lots of authority and demandment. From what I could tell it sounded like a female. I say I can't turn around if you have a knife at my throat. They put their knife away and I start to turn around. I think of what did I just get myself into.
When I turned around the person looked really familiar to me. But the name I couldn't remember after all these years of torture. The girl speaks up and says who are you. She still has her knife in her hand. I observe everything about this mysterious person. I saw a bow on her back. I couldn't what type of clothing she was wearing but I think it looked like hunting clothes. Odd I think to myself. The person repeats herself and says who are you. I take off my mask and say Im Percy Jackson. Which was kinda dumb saying my real name in front of someone I just met. They gasp in shock. "Percy?, why are you here did you die?".
"What? How do you know me? Who are you and do you want with me?" I say in a very frightened tone.
"It's me, Zoe Nightshade, do you not remember me?" She says and she sounds very worried. I just stare at her and say "Yes I do remember you, but why are you here, you are supposed to be in the stars". She doesn't answer and I can tell why she's looking at my body, all the damage that has been done. "Zoe?" I say trying to get her out of her observant state. She clears her throat before continuing, "Well Percy, I honestly don't know why I'm here I was just asleep and woke up here. Why are you here? You didn't die did you, because I don't think you deserve to be here."
"Well... Zoe I'm not bere because I died I'm her to fulfill a punishment. Something very bad has happened over the time you left our world. When did you get here though? I explain to her.
"I feel like I got here a few minutes or hours ago. When I got here I could tell I was in Tartarus. And what do you mean you have a punishment to fulfill." She says, she eyes me like an enemy now and pulls out a knife. She must think I got punished and I am a dangerous being. Sigh I knew it, everybody just thinks I did something bad and I get blamed.
Replying in a way that won't let my anger show I say "Well Zoe, I got blamed a lot for things that I didn't even do. This new son of Apollo, Tony told everybody lies about me. Eventually he told the Olympians that I worked with Gaia for the next year. At that every Olympian was mad at me and believes Tony and yes even your leader, Artemis. Everybody hates me and is mad at me at Camp Half-Blood and as well as the Hunt."
Zoe's POV (Quick POV Change)
I take in all the information he gave me. I just nod slowly trying to process the information. For some reason I wonder why he said my name in a distasteful way. And I stare at disbelief at how Lady Artemis was mad at Percy. "Well Percy just being curious why is Lady Artemis mad at you. What did Tony do?"
Percy's POV
I see Zoe put down her knife when I explain my story. It kinda relaxes me and tells me that she isn't hostile anymore. I could tell she had a hard time processing the info. Especially the info of how Artemis believed Tony. She asks me her question about why Artemis is mad at me. I explained how Tony took a picture of the hunters and put the blame on me. When I said this Zoe looked very pissed.
"Well Zoe it was nice meeting you and everything but I have something to do so I will get going." I say
"Wait Percy let me come with you, please" She says sounding shes begging.
"I'm sorry Zoe you'll be too much of a burden on my adventure" After I said this. Zoe looked very pissed and furious. So mad, she even grabs her bow and aims it at me and releases the arrow.
