Chapter 4

I woke up with my entire body aching from pain. I looked around and it was then I realized I was under water and in what looked like a infirmary. I stood up to take a look at my stomach and see if there were any lasting scars. No, nothing. Everything was healed except for the fact that it felt like I gone 12 rounds with a brick wall. I tried to remember how I got here...Then suddenly, it came back to me in a flash. I had been fighting a drakon, it had severely injured me, I killed it with ice, I blacked out, and the last thing I remembered was a old man reaching towards me.

Ice?! Since when could I use ice? And a old man? Man, I was confused.

" So, the young hero awakes, " I immediately unsheathed my sword by clicking it and whirled in the direction of the voice. It was the old man. Now that he was closer, I studied his appearance. Old white hair, frizzy beard, and old wise green eyes. He was carrying a wooden staff.

" Now, now. Let's all calm down and put away the sword." The old man chuckled, he definitely didn't look dangerous, but I had been fooled by that kind of appearance before.

" Who are you? And what is this place and why did you bring me here " I wasn't going to put my sword down until he explained.

" My name is Pontus, this place is my home. My own little oasis and I brought you here because you needed medical attention and the bigger reason why I brought you here would be your developing powers. "

He was the oldest sea god out there. He was the primordial god of the sea. I couldn't believe it. But, I still had to be careful. Just because he was a sea god didn't mean he was on my side. The brother of Gaea, from the stories Pontus seemed to stay away from the fighting, away from the wars. still, he had a crush on Gaea.

" I know what you are thinking, and I am going to clear all of your doubts. Yes I am a primordial, yes I did have a liking towards Gaea. All of these true, but I am not like my siblings. I wait, I watch. I do not fight, it is not in my nature. Very few things ever pique my interests anymore. I was indifferent when you and the other Seven defeated the giants and Gaea. I have never been one to come into the fray. The only reason I am here Percy, is because you have piqued my interest."

I lowered my sword, I could feel it from the way he talked and the way he looked that he was being earnest. I clicked my sword back into pen form.

" What do you mean by me piquing your interest? What have I done to make you interested in me? "

He smiled in a kindly grandfatherly way.

" Walk with me Percy, " he said.

He floated back through the door he came from, I decided to follow him. When I got out of the infirmary, I was struck by how small it was. Compared to my Dad's and some other deities palaces I have seen, this one looked like a small cabin.

" As you can see by home that my part of the world is slowly fading, " he said in a sad tone.

" No one ever utters the name Pontus anymore, the sea is slowly becoming more and more of your father's and Oceanus's. Even though it hurts, I am contend to tend to the quiet, calm part of the sea I live in. "

It struck me right there, Pontus reminded me of Hestia. Except for the fact that Pontus looked much more tired and frail.

" Then why don't you shake things up? Get more people to know about you and stop the pain? " I asked him this as he showed me his gardens, I reached out and stroked a small seahorse.

" Percy, you are my change. You are going to be my greatest accomplishment. You will be able to bring some power into the name Pontus. I am going to be your patron and you are going to be my champion. After that, I will be able to fade happily into the abyss. " He said in such a matter of fact tone. I was stunned, what did he mean by that?!

" What?! What am I supposed to do? I don't think I ca-I don't even know why you chose me! " I was stammering now. Why would a primordial chose me?! I was so full of questions.

" Percy, let me tell you something. " He turned around to face me.

" Your father likes to be proud of the fact that he is unpredictable like the sea. Both of your uncles also like to boast this fact as well. All three of them especially like to boast about their sons and daughters being powerhouses and being unpredictable. The truth is, their all wrong. None of their children, even Poseidon's have been even a bit unpredictable. The sons and daughters always had more or less the power of the Big Three. Unpredictable was not in there veins. But that all changed when you were born Percy. From the beginning you were the embodiment of unpredictable. You were able to create small earthquakes, somewhat control ice, and even control poison. And many more soon to come. I watched you Percy, and yesterday you proved that you were ready to be finally trained in using your power. "

" This comes at a dark time as well, forces have been closing in. It all started after you and your friends defeated Gaea. Forces even more powerful than primordials. I want to take one step at a time and I don't want you to be overwhelmed. But Percy, a lot is on the line and I want to to ask you...

" Do you want to Perseus Jackson, come into the training of Pontus, the primordial god of sea, to learn more about your abilities and what is in store for you? In simple terms, Percy do you want to be trained? "

I was flabbergasted and stunned. I had to many questions, but right now I had to give Pontus the answer.

" When can we start? "

Soooo...How was it? An extra long chapter with tons of stuff. The next 1-3 couple of chapters will be training and then after that, the quest starts. Please tell me how you think, so please review! See you guys for the next chapter!
