Ch: 3 War is Official
~Woods outside of Canada~
Percy POV:
I woke up with a start. "Kronos."
I needed to talk to father about this. I looked at my watch and saw that it was 4:00 a.m. I let out a groan and rolled off my cot. I walked out of my tent and started packing up my camp. The sun was starting to rise by the time I finished. I called for my wolf Shadow. He was a present from my father. I put on my pack and grabbed my bow and swords. I jumped onto Shadow's back. I told him where to go, and we disappeared in a flash of black flames.
~Underworld~
We appeared in front of the gates to my father's palace. Mormo and Lamia let us through the gate. I guess Cychreides was out feeding because he was the one usually guarded my father's gates. As I passed by them, they started to bow. I held up my hand to stop them.
"Mormo, Lamia. I've told you before that I don't want you to bow to me. I hate it when people do that." "We're sorry my prince."
"And stop calling me prince. Just call me Percy." "Yes si – I mean Percy." "Thank you."
I sent Shadow off to go and play with Cerberus before entering my father's throne room. I opened the doors, and they made an eerie, creaking sound. The doors need to be oiled. I thought.
"Father." I greeted him. That's what I liked about Primordials. You didn't have to bow like you did to titans or gods. "Hello, my son. What brings you back home?"
"I have a way to end my quest for vengence, but you won't like it." "I won't care son as long as it puts your soul at ease, but you do know that once this is over that you will die." I looked into my father's eyes and saw the sadness that hid underneath them. I was his only son. He didn't want to lose me, but he knew that I wanted this. I wanted to be able to be with my wife again.
"I know father; but with this plan, that will happen either way." I let that information sink into my father's brain. Once it sank in, a look of surprise settled on his face. "You don't mean…"
"Yes father, I do. I'm going to war against Kronos."
Lioness Diety: There will be NO romance. I'm sorry if I made it seem that there would be any.
~ Can you guess who Percy's father is? I will dedicate the next chapter to the first person who gets it right. Sorry that it's a short chapter. I didn't have any good ideas for this chapter. The next chapter will be longer. Constructive criticism is always helpful. Let me know what you think. – DragonClan.
