I'm sorry for not updating for a little while. Summer school just started and teachers gave homework. Anyways, I don't own PJO.
Chapter 10: Ajax/Percy POV
Pounding footsteps headed towards us. Quickly, I twisted my body so it looked like I got caught. Calypso caught on and started yelling about why am I doing here, what's my business, yada, yada, yada.
"What's going on?" A voice thundered.
I looked up to see Atlas glaring at me.
"Take down your hood, demigod."
"No way you dirty scum ball." I spat out.
"Calypso, who is he?" Atlas turned to her.
"Father, I have captured Perseus Jackson lurking in thy garden. He claimed to want to an audience with Lord Kronos."
Atlas started sneering at me but didn't do anything since he would be in trouble for causing the death of an extremely powerful demigod. "Perseus Jackson. Good to see you again. As you can see, Gaia has brought me back after a little encounter I assume you were behind?"
I smirked evilly. "How did you like the sting of our blades? We created them especially for you immortals."
He turned to Calypso. "You do your Pops proud, daughter."
I pretended to struggle some more. "I demand an audience with Kronos NOW!"
More sneers were pointed my way. "I see you gave up on those filthy Olympians. A wise choice. Very well. Calypso, take him to Kronos."
Atlas walked away, mumbling about a massage and back pains. We looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. A sudden thought came to me.
"Hey Calypso? If he's not under the sky, then who is?"
"Well usually a demigod or monster gets the honors of holding it but if Gaia feels lenient, then a pillar of earth would be holding it up. Now let's get that audience you requested before anyone else questions us some more."
"Yes ma'am."
~~~Time Skip: 1 hrs.~~~
After Calypso wrestled some nicer clothing on me, I was ready, or so Calypso proclaimed. She grabbed my arm and dragged me to the Titans' so called throne room. Gaia and Kronos sat on thrones, sneers plastered on their ugly faces. But seriously, what's up with the sneers? It's not sneer-at-Percy-Jackson Day is it? I was jarred from my thoughts when Kronos bellowed out my name.
"Perseus Jackson!"
" 'Sup gramps?"
He ignored my comment. "Atlas informed me that you were found lurking in the gardens and was caught by Calypso. Give me one good reason that I shouldn't kill you right now."
"Welllll…..maybe because you're gonna lose your one chance at winning this stupid war?" I asked innocently. Whispers spread throughout the hall.
"Ha! I bet you're only here as a spy for those forsaken gods. Guards, take…"
"Wait." Gaia commanded. She looked me over. "Why have you decided to join now when you promptly refused straight out before?"
I sighed and told her a twisted version of why I was here. I told them how Chaos took me in and made me the second most powerful person after the camp betrayed me (true) and how the gods shunned my help when it was offered (made up). I ended my long explanation with the prophecy, again tisting some of the meanings.
"The chosen one of Chaos is me. Annabeth and Shane, the host bodies you are using, are the ones that turned to you guys. I'm the one who travelled here. Camp was saying how they were going to all to the Romans for help in this war. My true love is Calypso, which I just found out in the Garden. The ally part means that I could help you…convince some reluctant warriors into fully standing by you and Mistress Gaia. Apparently, we shall have the final battle in 3 weeks' time and I have the honors in making the decision in creating the new age." I explained.
"How do we know you're not lying?" Kronos demanded after a long silent minute of mental conversing with Gaia.
"I swear on River Styx that all I just said is true." I said but here's the catch. Instead of saying Styx, I said it with the tone leaning towards the sounding of sticks. That way, it's not binding. With the thundering part, I just mentally summoned some thunder and well, thundered it. Gaia looked pleased with my answer. Kronos, not so much. He demanded a full demo. I did.
"Very well. You will be rooming with…hmm, it seems to be Calypso since she's the only one that has room. "
"Yes sir. I have one request though. Me and Calypso can go anywhere on the site without anyone questioning us."
"Deal." Gaia said after seeing how Kronos wanted to complain.
"Swear on Styx."
"I swear to River Styx that we allow Percy Jackson to go where ever he pleases with no questioning." Thunder clapped, sealing our deal.
"Good day to both of you." I headed back to Calypso, grabbed her hand and teleported away, glad to be away from those two creepers.
