Hi guys! Holy shit it has been a while. I'm sorry for not posting as much, but that is because my computer got hacked. It was expected to finish in a week, but the virus evolved somehow (don't ask me, I'm not a computer genius) Hope all of you enjoy this new chapter I have for you guys!

Last Time:

I went outside with Mrs. O'Leary. "You ready for this adventure that will take us far, far away, but when we come back, we'll be closer than ever. Are you ready for a jour-" I said when I was interrupted by Mrs. O'Leary. "I get it okay. Stop trying to be so dramatic. We're just going to meet one of the most powerful person in the universe, ask for a reward, and come out alive. Not much." She replied sarcastically. "Stop being so grumpy." I said in a whiny, kid-like voice. "C'mon, let's just get going." I knew that it was going to take about five years, six maybe if there were interruptions.

"Okay, I made a plan of what we were going to do. Every month, we set camp. We train there for about two-three weeks. Then we walk for another month, set camp, and do the same thing again. When it reaches to two years, we start training physically, meaning BOTH me and you will run for about a year straight, with about five to ten minute breaks every month. We'll do this for another one-one and a half years. The fourth year, we will practice our powers, you shadow traveling, me water, earth bending, and transforming. Hopefully that will be enough. If it isn't, then we will go with the first routine until we get to our destination. Sound cool?"

Mrs. O'Leary was looking at me as if I just told her that I was going to break Mount Everest out of its place, and throw it across the sky. With a small stutter she said, "Okay." "Cool" I replied cheerily. "Let's get going."

Now:

Two Years Later(still in tartarus)

Percy POV:

It has been two years in hell already, and my feet hurt like hell too. We ran for one year with basically only two hours or so of a break. That one year turned me into a cheetah in stamina, speed, agility, and reflexes. In fact, it was even more so than three cheetahs combined. We ran into a few monsters here and there, but nothing to really worry about, in fact, I decided to try out

other things with my vambraces, and earth bending powers. In fact, it was pretty fun. But now, stuff was going to get way more serious. We were going to start training with our powers and weapons. Meaning one month in powers and weapons, and one month in walking. When I got out of here, oh what I was going to be able to do. Unimaginable really. The amount of power I would be coming out of Tartarus with would be enough of a minor god. My swordsmanship was already that of a titan, in fact, I beat a titan with my swordsmanship. My archery though was terrible, and I'm still terrible at it, but I could care less now that I have my silent vambraces. They won't travel as far as Artemis' arrows, but pretty far though; 40-50 feet at most. The vambraces were powerful though, and an awesome gift!

We set camp near some mountains with fire spread on them. We felt as though not many monsters would come near us if we were there. Mrs. O'Leary looked over at me and asked if I was ready to begin. I replied with a yes, and smoothly transformed into a hellhound. I began getting better at my transformation while we were running since I tried run-switching. At first it hurt me, but I started getting used to the pain, and all the skin that transformed ended up healing. I thought it was a healing power but it turned out it was just during the transformation. I figured this out when I transformed into a hound, and had Mrs. O'Leary make a scratch on me. It hurt like a bitch too. It didn't heal either, but over a period of time, it just turned into a scar.

Vals and I got into our fighting stance, or our prowling stance. We both know how to counter a lunge, so neither of us were willing to attack first, so what I did was that I moved forward fast, but didn't lunge. She thought I lunged so she side steeped from a large hop. Right before landing, before her feet could touch the ground, I lunged. I head-butted her hard in the stomach, making her fly backwards, and landing on her back. I quickly lunged near her and put my front paw on her stomach.

'Yield', I telepathically said to her. 'Yield', she replied.

I transformed quickly back into a human, and stretched out. I felt my bones crack and pop. I was walking back to camp as I felt my hairs on my back go up, alerting me that someone was attacking. I quickly turned around to see Mrs. O'Leary lunging at me, and she pushed me to the ground. She was on me, and, using all my strength, pushed her off. She got in her prowling stance, and I was in my fighting stance as a human, not transforming though. I didn't want to pull out Riptide, or use my vambraces because I didn't want to kill her.

'You need to know how to fight a hound in human form', Val said to me. 'But I already know how.' 'You do, but not well enough, plus, you told me we were going to practice didn't you?' 'Touche', I responded. My eyes are on her hind legs. When you fight a hellhound, always keep your eyes on their hind legs. It is their backbone of attacking. She shifted her feet and lunged quickly, like a viper. She was fast, but not more than me. I rolled under her lunge, and while she was skidding across the ground trying to regain balance, I lunged and took her down. To take a hellhound down, you have to sit on their stomach, and put your arms far from their snout so they can't bite you. I remembered Mrs. O'Leary telling me that, and so I did what she told me. It worked! I had her pinned, and had yet another victory against Val.

'You got me twice!' She yelled in my mind. I didn't reply as though I wanted a silent victory. As I was walking away, I made the moisture in the air back into some water and willed it straight into my mouth. Hot water, but water nonetheless. I sat down for a minute or so and got back out there to start practicing my powers.

I went out at Val looked at me, knowing I was going to use my powers. I didn't. She understood, and lunged at me, making it necessary to use my powers. I willed to make a water wall with the moisture in the air. Val jumped right into and I willed it to move her back. I got some more water, and willed it to make a cage around her. I tried to will it to solidify, but I couldn't. It was to hot, so it couldn't solidify into ice. So I got that water and quickly through it at her face, making her wet all over. She looked angrily at me and lunged. I quickly tried to bring up the earth, but it was way more difficult to do, and took way more energy for me. But it was only the first day of training, so I wasn't going to be so fluent. But at the end of the year, I wanted to be able to control the earth like Gaea, even though I knew that that was never going to happen.

'Oh it might' A soft voice said in my head. It quickly disappeared. I was confused to what it was. It might have just been the hopeful side of my mind talking.

I went back inside and hit the chair, but only to hear Vals calling my name.

'Get back out here. Now!'

It was urgent but not an emergency.

'Listen, I want you to make a house out of the earth. You have one month. That is your task. It must also come with bedroom. Remember you will be sleeping there to!'

That was going to be a challenge, but hey, I knew it was for the better. I was really tired, so I tried hard, in fact I put all my strength. And finally after all that work, I had finished making a door from hard, red rocks and dirt. Well that is a start.

I decided that I had worked hard enough for one entire day. Apparently, I had been practicing for nine hours. I think I can take a break. I went back inside to our little camp of ours and went face first into the old, springy mattress. With my face in the pillow, I started thinking about the house I had to build, and how hard the other challenges were going to be. While I was thinking all of this, my mind began to wonder off as I fell asleep.

'Hello Perseus.' I heard in my sleep. I was in another dream again wasn't I, but apparently I could interact with this dream.

'Hello, who is this?' I replied with curiosity sounding in my voice.'

'You will find out soon. Maybe in two years. You will face me and I will destroy you.'

I really wasn't afraid of his taunts, but just out of curiosity to see if I could get anything out of him to see if I could get him to tell me who he is, I decided to reply.

'I doubt you can actually do anything to me. I've beaten titans and thensome.'

'You doubt it now, but when you find out who I am, you will fear the day you ever met me.' His sentence shut me off, as if he knew what my plan was.

I could feel his presence leave my head, as I went back to sleep with a strange amount of curiosity still in my head.

I think you guys already know who it is, but if you don't you will have to wait for next chapter so stick around. Btw, sorry for all of you followers who really liked my stories, and I left you guys hanging. As I said in the intro, by computer got hacked, and I had to give it to some techy guys. It took more time then expected, but now, I'm back and more ready than ever. Follow, Favorite, review or simply don't. Thank you and have a good day.
