AN: Hey guys! Since I want to make up for the days I've been gone, I'll give you yet again another chapter! I hope I did a good job last chapter. So yeah, we never got to see the story in the point of view of the cloaked boy. Here's the latest chapter!
Cloaked Boy's POV
I soared into the sky while riding my Pegasus, Blackjack. The cold wind rushed to my face as I rode on my way back to Mt. Othrys, the place I'm supposed to call 'home'. See, I just came from a failed mission in claiming that demigod in that frozen mountains. I always thought the giants who stayed there will soon find out where that half blood is, but I guess I proved myself wrong.
My head throbbed once again. I don't know why I always have these headaches frequently, maybe it's because I just don't get enough rest.
"Hey boss, why did you take so long back there? And why do you look so bothered?"
"Don't callme that. I just bumped into the son of Zeus back there and things kind of got nasty for him. And you most certainly know that I don't have the demigod" I replied. I did harm a lot of demigods ever since I woke up, but that doesn't mean I love doing so. I'm not a blood thirsty creature like the empousa back at Mt. Othrys or a child of Ares. I just don't know what else I'm supposed to do; I don't even know what my real name is.
"So what are you supposed to do about it?" I thought for awhile. Reasoning with Mnemosyne is never too easy. She looks like she will squeeze out the information out of me like a juicer. I never liked that deity, but it looks like she knows something that I don't know. I guess I'll just have to put all the blame to that son of Zeus.
"I'll just tell her the whole story then. Let Krios deal with that, it's his idea anyway" I said nonchalantly. I could see the temple from a distance now. Blackjack landed with ease at the stone floor just in front of the main door. I went down from Blackjack and promised him a treat later.
As I turned my head, I saw one of the most annoying things I ever known since my awakening. Kelli, the empousa greeted me with her smile. She was in her human form, brown hair that looked like they were combed a hundred times and brown eyes. It made her look like a real human; you wouldn't want to know what she looks like in her real form. One weird thing is, when I woke up and caught a first glimpse at this empousa, I don't like her already. It's as if we got into a fight a long time ago. Even though the empousa are under the control of Hecate, who is allies with Olympus, some of them still chose to stay on the side of the Titans.
"Where's the demigod?" she asked sweetly at me. I sighed and called Blackjack away, much to his dismay.
"I was not able to claim him. Some demigods had him before I did, Artemis and her hunters intervened that's why I didn't have the chance to get it from them" I said bitterly. I hated failing my missions, maybe that's why I feel so annoyed right now.
"Mnemosyne wouldn't like that" she said. In my head I wanted to scream at her, "I don't care!" but of course I won't do that even if I wanted to.
"Could you just leave? I have an important meeting to attend to" Kelli snickered and her eyes flashed into her real red ones. I didn't intend to sound harsh and all but she was just so ticking me off. Kelli left without a word and I darted straight to the enormous bronze doors.
I passed by the lobby and turned left to the corridors. At the end of the hallway, I could see the door to the 'assembly room' as I call it. I reached out my hand to the knob and turned it.
It seems like no one seems to notice me as I entered the room. Mnemosyne, Oceanus, Morpheus, Krios, Hyperion and Prometheus are in a pretty much loud discussion.
"You failed, just what I have forethought" Prometheus greeted me mockingly and I tried not to scowl.
"Jason Grace was there, a satyr and Jasper, son of Helios, so did Artemis and her hunters. I didn't get a chance to get the boy back" I reasoned out, hoping that they would just let it go. It's just one demigod, is he that even important? Hyperion snickered when he heard the name of his grandchild. I figured he was sick of the idea Helios was on the side of the gods, so did his half blood son.
Mnemosyne took a heavy breath. I can still see Anika Fowler whenever I look at the deity, except her eyes glow sometimes. Some demititans went to the Olympian Army a few months ago; a few of them remained on our side. Mnemosyne did not like the idea of Andrew Michaels, son of Metis going on the side of the Olympians. He is, after all, the smartest among the half bloods. She is also disappointed in Luke Castellan. Mnemosyne thought Kronos was able to twist the mind of that demigod completely and she was wrong. I really don't like that demigod, I don't know why.
The events in Castle Lismono shook me. I thought before that it will be just another plan of Mnemosyne to screw the demigods up but that girl. That demigod with blonde hair and gray eyes bothered me. I never had any fragments left in my memories. The gods took my memory and I want it back. I knew this from Mnemosyne herself, she told me how the gods wanted to kill me and took my memories away. But then that girl showed up, I don't know what to do when I had my sword pointed at her neck. I suddenly can't get to kill her.
"That wretched goddess and that son of Zeus" she cursed, and glared at me. This is going to be bad.
"Do you know who that demigod is, Caspian?" Yep that's what they call me. They named me Caspian Conway; well Oceanus is the one who really named me. I know pretty much that that isn't my real name. Why? It's because of Luke. There was one time I am about to call him because Krios wants to summon Luke. He was in a very bad mood back then, too bad I was in the mood to tick him off. Instead of calling me by my name, he yelled, "Jackson!" and then he stormed from the room. That's the time I knew Luke knew something about me, in my 'forgotten life', as he put it.
"I obviously don't, who is he anyway?" I asked squarely and Krios chuckled. Mnemosyne fixed her deadly glare at the titan who didn't seem to care. I'm used to hear Mnemosyne's bickering in every minute of my life in this Titan base.
"You don't need to know! I'll get him myself if I needed to!" she sneered at me and I just rolled my eyes. Oceanus began to tell his plan on the war. He seems like he's going to have a duel underwater. Of all the titans, I'm on good terms with Oceanus. He reminds me of someone powerful and smells a lot like the sea. The other Titans looks like they want to blast me into pieces if they had the chance, but from the looks of it, something's not letting them to, not yet.
"I'll go to my headquarters" I was about leave until Hyperion halted me. His flaming eyes met mine, well indirectly met mine. Another mystery to me is why do they want to conceal me appearance? They made me wear cloaks and a blindfold.
"We want you to accompany Kronos to Olympus once he's awakened" he told me and I looked at him confusingly. Isn't Kronos' host, dead? Isn't Yuki Vaughan dead? From what I recall, Luke ended her when we were at Castle Lismono a few months ago.
"What do you mean awakened?" I asked dumbly. The door opened behind me, I felt time slow down. Like something was pulling me to the ground. I feel like I'm going to collapse soon. Then a hand grasped my arm, I froze.
I turned my head and saw a boy. He has gold eyes and messy black hair. He was no other than Walker Hamilton; beside him were Yuki Vaughan and Ethan Nakamura.
"Ethan? Yuki, you're supposed to be…"
"Dead, I know" she said though her voice didn't show any emotion. Her eyes were looking straight at me. I don't know what happened to her and Walker, but things can't get any weirder.
"How-" I lost my words. Walker was never seen after the events in Castle Lismono, and I was so sure Yuki was dead before I left. Yuki stood there with no emotion, her eyes were different. One was her usual sea green eyes and the other one is gold.
"Walker is a helpful demititan, I must say I'm impressed" he said, but his voice was not Walker's. It was older, more ancient… This can't be.
"Still don't recognize me, boy?" he chuckled humorlessly, "I am Kronos, the Lord of Ages and Titan of Time"
AN: That's it! See you soon guys! Campers will appear in the next chappie! I just want to put the POV of the cloaked boy in all the events. He won't be as mysterious as he did back in the first story. So yeah, reviews are accepted! :D
