Percy POV
I was sitting in a golden chair. A throne that fit me perfectly. I opened my eyes groggily and saw a red figure standing in front of me. If you haven't guessed it was Kronos.
He opened his mouth and through a raspy voice said "Let's make a deal."
"What deal," I asked.
"One that would let you get all the revenge you wanted," He replied. "Revenge on those who hurt you. All you have to do is become my vessel."
"Like Luke."
"Sort of, although you'd be more powerful and impossible to beat," he whispered. "Once you become my vessel you will have more power and you will be the ruler of Olympus, or you can let your stupid Uncle become the ruler again, and force even more demigods to fight for him, never actually peace."
" In fact I know you have several questions. Did you not notice the absence of spirits in Erebus? When Ouranous became king he made that fool Jonathan the ruler of the underworld , with no power. Meaning Jonathan has no control of what goes on down there. All the spirits, they were swallowed by the depths of Ouranous. He cast them far away from savior. But," He continued. " I know my father and I know where the spirits are , including the ones of Your parents , Sally and Paul and I have Tyson."
"Where's the proof that this is true," I said. " Show me my parents and show me Tyson," I commanded.
Kronos waved his arm and two chained figures, a man and a woman, sat on the swirling dust of the floor. Next to him was a one eyed figure with chains as well standing next to them.
"Save us," They cried out.
I slipped out of my chair and tried to hold my mothers hand. It felt real but dissolved to dust. I wanted to save her
"Are you willing to save what's yours Jackson," Kronos asked.
I thought a bit about it , but family, that was more important.
I stared into the golden eyes of the Titan, and smirked.
A sense that I might regret what I did next hung over me but I ignored it.
"Yes."
I woke up feeling energized. The camp we had set up was perfectly organized and in the center stood the Place where Jason, Nico and I would make the plans.
I realized I smelled like rotting Seaweed after not taking a shower for so long and went to the shower in my tent. I contemplated the deal I just made as I showered. I weighed the pros and cons, and I really only cared for my mom and step-dad.
Once I stepped out the shower I looked into the mirror. My eyes were golden. I held in a shriek and forced my eyes to turn sea-green. I closed my eyes and the were their natural color. My heart stopped beating as fast. Then I heard a rustling sound come from the entrance of my tent.
I quickly pulled on my clothes and pulled out Riptide, but instead of a sword , my ball point pen became a scythe,
I silently cursed in my head as the two twins claiming to be my kids walked in.
"What's up with the scythe bro," The girl asked. "Aren't we like fam?"
"First of all," I began. " You walked into my tent, and for the last time I am not your father!"
"Sorry," Her brother said. "It's just that Nico and Jason told us to get you ready. I'm sorry for Priscilla's actions. My name is Adonis by the way."
"Well, why are you still in my room though," I replied. " I need to finish getting ready and then I'll meet them at the center tent. Tell them that."
"Sure thing, Bruh,"Adonis said as they walked out.
I willed my scythe to turn back into a sword if it could and soon I had regular riptide.
"Why'd you change the scythe," A voice whispered in my head. "It suited us quite well," The voice of of Kronos said.
I was a bit taken back but I responded with a hint of annoyance in my voice, "My body , my rules, This deal means nothing according to my body."
"Ah, but it does. I still have control over a part of it , but if you want to be secretive so be it."
Then it came to me, Chaos knows everything.
"What about Chaos?"
"I knew this would happen Jackson, " The chocolaty voice of Chaos said in my head. " That's why I suggested it to Kronos it's the only way you could have won."
"So I'm being used."
"Yes," Both voices rand in my head and it hurt.
They failed to acknowledge my pain and discussed plans and such in my mind, they soon got into an argument which gave me a migraine.
"Stop!" I yelled.
"Oh, " Chaos said. " We're not supposed to talk at the same time in your head. Sorry."
I felt a soft tug at my ear as Chaos mentally dragged her son away from my head.
I stepped outside and walked to the Big Tent.
Nico was there drinking a cup of coffee, Jason and M were talking furiously and John , was sitting with his hands folded.
"Look who's arrived," Nico said.
" Yeah, yeah, I'm late," I said. "But let's get down to business."
To defeat the Huns, Did they send me Daughters when I asked for sons. Sorry... I've been watching Mulan way too much, but let's see Your views on the chapter. How's the story so far? That's up to you and Matt , yes Nico has a boyfriend leave me alone. l-/
