Chapter 7

Today was the last day of training. We went over swordfighting ad boxing. I wondered what Pontus was going to do with my powers. Before going down to eat breakfast and find Pontus in the training arena. I checked my phone to see if my mom and or Annabeth had responded to the text I sent. I sent both of them a text telling them I would be gone for a while and they shouldn't worry. They still haven't responded. Then suddenly I realized that communications were still down. I remembered when I visited Camp Half-Blood to help Apollo take down a massive statue(don't ask), Chiron had told me communications were down because of some Roman demigods came back to life and formed a trifecta or something. Blah blah blah, we already a team on that, plus I wasn't even there.

The point was that we found Leo and he was on his quest with Calyspo, and Apollo. I focused and closed my eyes, then two ravens made out of water were formed out of the water around me. I smiled as the ravens as they swam around me and poked my hair and cheeks before finally settling down on my shoulder.

" Hey guys, I want one of you ravens to find Leo and tell him to tell Chiron through a form of message that I was fine and that I was on a quest and I had to do it alone. " One of the raven bowed there head and flitted of my shoulder and flew out of the room.

" Okay, now I want you to find my Mom and tell here the exact same thing I told your friend, and after that I need you to find my girlfriend Annabeth and tell her that as well. My mom's name is Sally and she lives in Manhattan and Annabeth is in Boston. " The raven did the same thing his friend did and flitted off as well. I smiled, that was taken care of, so I went downstairs and enjoyed my blue pancakes.

I found my way to the arena like I did before several times and found Pontus there standing in the center of it. I looked around, there was nothing else, but Pontus and me. The whole room was empty. Without turning around, Pontus motioned me forward.

" Hello Percy, today is the most important day yet. Today, you will learn what power you have and how to use and control them. " I nodded and stepped forward.

" Just so you know, you already have used these powers. " I stepped back in surprise.

" What? I have? " I was confused.

" A little confused? " I blushed. Pontus laughed.

" Let me explain. Your father is the Earthshaker and he can form earthquakes. You have done that several times, but sporadically and out of control. To add on that, the earthquakes you form are not very powerful. So for now we will work on your power to control the earth. Your power levels will have most likely gone up significantly because of the training we did and the fact that Gaea is defeated. So lets-.

" Wait back up, what did you mean by my earthquakes power have gone up because is defeated? " I was extremely vary of using this so called earth power. Especially if it had to do with Gaea. Pontus laughed, but I didn't see anything funny about it. "

" Calm down, Perseus! After Gaea was defeated, her control of the earth lessened quite exponentially. Your father is the only god on the Olympians court who can control the earth. So after Gaea was defeated, some of her power went to Poseidon and you. "

" Ohhhhh..." That's what it was.

" So let's work on making the ground crack eh? " I laughed.

" Let's do it. "

We worked on it, Pontus had me start out slow. He told me that we had to work on control first. Control was the most important thing according to him. To master control over the earth, Pontus had me make small tremors exactly where I wanted them to be. We did it over and over and over, there was a lot of over's until I finally got control. I could make the earthquakes happen where I wanted them to be and when I wanted them to happen.

After I got the control down, Pontus had me push myself. He had me make the powerful earthquakes, he told me to make them stronger, stronger, and stronger. The most powerful one I made swallowed 100+ water spirits, my stomach wrenched and my head ache, but Pontus wanted me to make my earthquakes more powerful and more able to destroy and swallow things. But it hurt, so Pontus taught me a way that minimized how much it hurt when I used my powers. Pontus said that this technique would effect all the powers I learn so none of them could hurt me too much. It was basically me centering my chi and stuff. It took me one ocean day, but I got it down.

The next day it was the same thing. Pontus was standing in the same place in the arena, but today I would be learning how to use and control another power.

" Pontus, what's next? "

" Ice, " Oh, heck yes. I wanted to control and use ice the most of all. It was one of the most dangerous powers.

" I already see you getting excited. And yes, ice is very dangerous. It can make the killing blow in battle so we are going to take a cautious approach to it. "

I was ready, I saw how much damage ice did to that drakon and I wanted to learn how to control that and make it more powerful.

The training was similar, but also different. The similarities was that Pontus was once again taught me how to control the ice and how to use it. Much like the earthquakes. He also did the same power level things, summoning less dangerous ice shards that could pick locks and then summoning massive icebergs that could destroy entire buildings. But he also taught me how to use the environment, he taught me how I could make the area cold and much more dangerous for my enemies, but better for me. He taught me how I could use ice for many, many different things. He told me how I could use ice for defense by making ice shields. He said ice could be used to sharpen weapons and make them more potent and dangerous by making say Riptide covered with ice.

Very, very old abilities, but extremely powerful. I could literally summon ice spikes and make the ground barren. But ice had a negative on my body. Summoning ice made my body extremely cold and while that made me more powerful, it also made me weak. The coolest thing he taught me was how I could use ice to safe a person's life. I could literally freeze a person in ice so there would be more time to get them to the hospital or something, of course I could also use this to immobilize my enemies. So he taught me how to transform water into ice. I thought it would be easier than doing making the ground shake, but it was much, much harder. Probably because there was so much I could do with ice. I was able to master ice in two ocean days though. Pontus said tomorrow would be the last day of training for me, and that tomorrow's power was on the brink of evil. I didn't know what he meant by that, but I was ready.

I breathed in the water as I woke up for probably the last time in Pontus's palace. I learned a lot here and I would make sure never to forget Pontus or this place. I walked down and ate breakfast. I found Pontus in the arena(no duh), but this time. The room was dark and the only light source was coming from a candle where Pontus was sitting. I sat down across from Pontus, his eyes were closed.

" Pontus, what is with all the darkness. " I whispered to him. He opened his eyes.

" Because Percy, today is a day of reckoning. "

" Why? " He took a deep breath.

" Percy, today you will be learning about poison. "

No

" HELL NO! That is too dangerous, I...I promised my girlfriend I wouldn't do it! Pontus, it makes me angry, it makes me dangerous, it makes me downright evil! " I tried to plead with him.

" And that is why we must do it. " He said calmly.

" What?! " I didn't understand.

" Percy this will help you clear your body of all the bad you got from Tartarus. I don't want you to use this power all the time, only in the most dire circumstances. But, controlling the dark side will help you in all aspects. "

" This will be very quick. The shortest of them all. "

I breath in, okay. I could do this.

" Alright. "

Pontus showed me how to control the darkness, how to let it in and make it so I can use it when I am pushed much to far. In the dark room, I swept my hands back and forth controlling the poison and the darkness. I worked with the darkness and not against it. I had it controlled.

Pontus turned the lights on and I willed the darkness and the poison to recede. I looked into Pontus's eyes and he said three words.

" You are ready. " I was ready.

-Line Break-(A/N, No idea if used this right. Anyway, this part I thought I would save this for a small chapter, but since I am updating next week I'll give you guys a treat).

" Wait, what? " I hurried after Pontus as he walked away. Pontus had told me something I couldn't believe.

" Yes, Percy. You are going to have to rent an apartment. I am not helping you in anyway except for giving you your apartment start up money and some more money for you first thing on your agenda. One round trip plane flight money for just one item. And yes, you are going to have to earn the money to find the next items on the quest. "

Pontus had told me I was ready for my quest, but what he said afterwards was crazy. He told me that I couldn't come in contact with anyone who I knew, I had to rent an apartment(I'm 17) where I could work and find out where the items I was looking for on my quest were, I had pay for everything except for the startup fee on the apartment and the first trip, oh and the items? Pontus only knew what they are, but not where they are. Just great.

" I will help you with the illusion that you are 18 so you can rent an apartment and book a flight, but nothing else. My pupils have to learn for themselves. I will monitor your progress on your quest. " He handed me a scroll.

" The first item has already appeared for you to find. " I opened the scroll to see the first item.

" The Gauntlets of Infinity, " I read.

I closed the scroll, and I got ready to go before I found myself wrapped in a hug by Pontus.

" Good luck Percy, " He smiled at me with his wise green eyes.

I nodded and left for the mortal world.

And now here I was, standing in my new apartment in Brooklyn. It was a cozy place, I'll give it that. One bedroom, a kitchen, a small living room, and a bathroom. I smiled and put my laptop on the small work table in my bedroom, Pontus had supplied me with it.

" Time to get to work, " I said as I opened up my laptop and searched up Gauntlets of Infinity.

And that's it until Saturday and Sunday guys! My longest and in my opinion the best. And yes, Percy is going total solo on this quest and next chapter he is gonna be fighting and crushing. But, there are going to be some POV changes...I am not giving any hints. Please review my chapter and thanks so much baring with me! Until Sat and Sun!
