Chapter 3-Pain is Inevitable
Percy felt horrible and had a huge urge to scream. He woke with a huge feeling in his body. As if there was something within him. He then opened his eyes to see himself in a square white room. He felt his eyes burn yet a warm fire. Percy turned his head to his right and saw a white desk with an open cabinet at the bottom and with different horrific tools on top of the table.
Percy then tried to move but realized chains held him down. He groaned and looked on his side to find a two huge holes in his side.
He heard a voice in his head whisper, 'Run! Leave!' it did not sound like his voice at all but felt a part of him.
Just then, two people came in. One was a man who seemed to be in his late forties with black hair and beard. The other was a young woman with brown hair in a tight bun. Percy then called her 'Pencil woman.'
"Hello, Perseus Jackson. I am Henry Goran, but call me Dr. Goran. Next to me is my assistant Miss Lorain. We are here to help you, as you can see you are in pain and have two huge holes in you, which am surprised have not killed you." The man said or Dr. Goran.
Miss Lorain then grabbed a shot from the clean table and injected the fluid into Percy's shoulder making him sedated and unable to move. Percy watched as Dr. Goran grabbed some wipes from the table and started to clean the two huge wounds. After that, he grabbed his knife and placed it above the first wound. He then cut the skin deep breaking into the other hole. Dr. Goran then spread a lighter over the edge of the skin burning it and drying the blood, skin, and muscle. Miss Lorain then grabbed a jar with liquid in it and smeared it around and in the wound. She then grabbed another jar from the cupboard and handed it to Mr. Goran. Inside were clumps of metal looking items.
He then began to put the clumps of metal into the huge sized hole. He then began to fill it to the rim of the wound. After that Miss Lorain grabbed another jar and filled the cracks with the liquid. The metal then softened to fill the whole wound. Skin then formed around the metal and covered it, as if there was no wound at all.
Goran then grabbed a sharpie from the table and made a rectangle on his right bicep. He grabbed a small knife from the hands of Lorain and traced the light cutting half-an-inch into the skin. After tracing, he cut under the skin into the muscle. Then he lightly took it off and put it on the white table. He then turned around making Percy unable to see.
He couldn't move at all and speak. He watched as blood came out of his bicep. He was frozen.
On the other hand, Dr. Goran had a plastic sheet. He then poured a liquid over it. Lorain then pressed a stamp into showing a number 3.
Goran then grabbed a black sheet and placed it in the rectangle and grabbed the plastic sheet with the three and placed it in the rectangle. He grabbed another block of metal and placed it on top. Lorain then spilled the liquid again above as it smoothened and made skin.
The Pencil Woman then grabbed a jar and opened his mouth. She made Percy then drink the liquid as it dripped down into his intestines.
While this, Henry Goran walked over to the other side and with his knife. He then punched His knife into Percy's left side, making another huge wound. He walked around and grabbed a small chip and then slipped it into the hole. He grabbed a needle with a black string on it.
He then wound the hole up with it. Goran then unchained him and with the Pencil womans help flipped him over. He grabbed the knife once again and broke his skin, making two large slits in his back. Goran and the pencil woman flipped him back over again.
The pencil woman then grabbed another huge jar and splashed it over his chiseled chest. She poured it even over his eyes making his eyes seem to see everything. He had a sight of 180 degrees. He was able to see every pour and mark on the doctors face.
He felt the liquid cover his eyeball and go to the back of his eyes and go to his brain making him smarter.
She splashed it over his pants going into his skin, muscles, and bones making them stronger. It covered every nook of his body.
"That is all, Chaos will tell you everything, and we are one of the doctors that start the beginning of the Warriors of Chaos," said Henry Goran. Miss Lorain nodded sadly next to him. "This is all we can do." The two then walked out the door pi with Percy unchained but still unable to move.
He sighed and looked around with his cool vision. He was able to zoom in and out to see every mark in the room. He could make even the way his eyes changed to different colors. From sea-green to silver, and a dark blue.
That was when Chaos walked in to see Percy lying half-naked on a table, unmoving. Chaos smiled lightly and touched him lightly.
Percy then gasped as he was able to move once again. He got up and touched his back to know that the two cuts were still in his back.
Percy was about to ask what was going on, but Chaos was already gone. Percy ran out the door to find himself in a white hallway with slanted windows in front of him showing the space and planets. He was going to muse more to see Chaos walking off to the left. He also realized that if any girls came they will giggle over him.
He then turned to his left and followed Chaos. He passed some boys in armor drinking coffee. They smirked at his bare chest, yet Percy just ignored them and followed Chaos as his black cape rippled and moved as Chaos walked. He lost Chaos as he was slower than him but for some reason was able to find him walking still in the hallway.
Percy strides after him and passed different corridors passing many different doors. He continued to walk until he saw Chaos walking into one room with a huge double door. Percy then stopped when he got to the door. The room had a night blue color with planets and stars including Saturn and even earth. In the middle of the room sat a regular work desk with a lamp and paper work on it.
Chaos stood behind the table facing the wall behind it. Percy walked in and stood a few feet from the table. His back still hurt as the two huge gashes still dug into him. At had pain like hell. He could still feel the knife digging down to his bones.
The doors then slammed shut behind him. Percy immediately turned around afraid. He had the feeling that he would be here for a long time.
Chaos then turned around to show him in a suit with his fingers curled under his nose as if thinking.
Percy then gulped and asked," Lord Chaos? Um...what exactly did you do to me?"
"Perseus Jackson? I will answer all your questions after I ask you a question of my own," Chaos replied putting his hands down. Percy was confused as he only asked one question. He as well did not know what question he was going to ask him.
Percy then put his hand to his hair and started to scratch it. "And what question do you have for me, Lord Chaos?" he questioned confused.
"Ah...Perseus, I was going to simply ask, will you be my Ostantinate?"
Percy literally gasped at this question. "W-what?" He stammered.
"Yes, Percy will you be my Ostantinate?" He asked more firmly.
"What I don't get is why out of all your soldiers and warriors you choose me to be this position. Also I just came here and am new at all this. Is it because I died fighting Jörmungand?" Percy started to ramble on.
Chaos then cut in saying, "You actually killed him and he died as you lived." Percy gaped at him with shock.
"I-I did?" He stammered once more.
"Yes, Perseus, so are you?" Chaos asked annoyed pulling his cape off and putting it around the chair.
"I will Lord Chaos," Percy responded while bowing.
"Perseus, no formalities please." Chaos smiled lightly.
Percy then nodded, "When you stop calling me Perseus."
"Point, maybe," Chaos smiled as his spiderlike fingers curled around the chairs.
Chaos then took his fingers from the chair and formed his hand into an O-shape. He pulled his hands apart to show a black hole in his hands. Percy gasped and watched with awe.
Chaos then unleashed the black hole. It swarmed straight to Percy at impossible speeds. Percy stared at it and started to backup. Then the black hole hit into Percy making him explode. Bright stars then appeared in the dark room and forming to one.
Percy instead felt himself fly backwards as mist surrounded him pulling him apart. He felt something powerful surround him as he was being surrounded by blackness.
The mist then disappeared as Percy lay on the ground groaning. "What was that now?" He noticed then that his voice had gotten lower. He felt something other than the two gashes on his back. Percy then got up realizing he was still bare chested and looked up to see Chaos standing above him.
"Why do I feel different?" Percy wondered.
"Come here," Chaos said as he walked behind the desk and opened up and door. There before him was a mirror showing him?
"T-That's me?" Percy gasped.
"No, It's Zeus. Yes, it's you," Chaos said smirking.
Percy looked at himself to realize he was six foot four now. His bare chest showed his chiseled chest. Two black straps crisscrossed across his chest with knifes attached to it. He wore black jeans with a silver belt with a sword sheath with riptide in it. Percy then dug his hands into his packet. He felt something and took it out to find Riptide.
"What the hell?" He said as he pulled Riptide out. "Riptide and Riptide?"
"Uncap it," Chaos responded.
Percy then uncapped the imitation Riptide. He uncapped it to see Mjölnir instead. Power then began to ripple under his skin. "What?"
Percy looked back to the mirror and gasped again. Sticking out of his back were a pair of black wings with a span of 15 feet. It stood about 3 heads taller than Percy.
"Wings?" He gaped.
"You may want the whole story now, after you fought Jörmungand, you were sent to one of the rooms. There, two doctors started helping and putting the beginning of the warriors of chaos. There they tried to heal you as they did. As you saw, they put metal in you, why? Well the metal has spread all over your body as you may not know. This helps you as your skin can one turn into armor. So practically if your skin can turn into armor, you have more power as the armor then will be part of you and is you.
"As well, your vision is high tech and almost as good to see the whole universe. Also look at your eyes."
Percy then looked at the mirror and looked to see that his eyes were many different colors mixed into one. It included his sea-green, yellow, silver, red, gold, black, and orange. "My eyes," Percy murmured as he touched his cheeks. He looked at his arms and realized that he could see his veins.
"You may wonder what happened just now. I gave you my greatest blessing." Chaos smiled. "Let me show you."
He then touched the mirror it then rippled and showed as the black hole sailed to him. An invisible box then surrounded him. The black hole then hit him as Percy then exploded. Millions of bright stars then came about. They started making different constellations. The stars then began to come together as well as the darkness and began to form a tall figure or how Percy looked now. Wings grew out of his back as markings flew around his skin.
"That's what happened?" Percy gasped.
"Yes, a nebula was formed of you. You are that now," Chaos answered.
"So I am now made of a nebula and a black hole?" Percy wondered.
"Yes," Chaos quipped.
"So now I am, Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, blessed by Chaos?" He asked.
"I, hereby announce, Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, hero of Olympus, killer of Kronos, blessed by Chaos, the position of Ostantinate."
