Chapter 26: The Ultimate Trap-Faller-Into-er

Seriously, I could swear that I've fallen into his traps 1000 times more than anyone else that every existed.

"How?"

I stared at Kronos, dumbfounded as my feet dangled in the air helplessly.

"Did you honestly think that it would be that easy?" Kronos asked, questioning my sanity.

Well...yeah...kind of... As far as I knew, Nico never informed me that gods might be immune to memory loss. I looked back to Nico for an answer. Strange, he wasn't there.

Kronos shook me back to reality.

"This time," he said, "You're not getting away."

I snickered. It seems he forgot about my special ability. I struggled to make my throat turn to water.

"Think again, Kronos!"

Kronos stared at me questioningly. Wait...for some dumb reason, he was still holding me by the throat.

"Oh yeah, Perseus," Kronos said, "I've disabled all of your little powers for the time being."

Probably should have mentioned that earlier. How do you even disable a person's powers?

"Now, Perseus, try to get out of this!" he cried.

He grabbed his scythe and brought it down on me. Once again, everybody was silent.

Come on peoples, a little help here would be nice. Nothing. Oh well.

I closed my eyes trying desperately to get my powers to work...once again absolutely nothing. I seriously hoped I didn't have to die on my birthday.

As a last resort, I pulled out Riptide to try and defend myself...but...I was slightly late.

I felt a quick slash of air pass right by me.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
