Percy's POV
Dream
I was in a room and it was very dark. I looked around and saw that three women were knitting. Of course I knew them, they were the fates. They turned around and looked at me. I could see they were thinking about something. They stood up and came forward. They said in unison,'Perseus Jackson, you are here because we must tell you knew which may cause chaos on Olympus, you have 3 more domains, they are Darkness, Shadows and Night'. I thought for a second and then said,'So why would it cause a problem?'.
They looked at me in the eye and said,'Because, eventually, your power will rival the entire council together, and this will cause disruption among the council as Zeus will want you executed'. I nodded. I understood this. I knew that Zeus was a power hungry god and he would kill me if he found out that I was going to be more powerful than him eventually. They then said,'Perseus, you must tell someone you trust, and with that they will become your mate, they will be loyal to you, and only you'. I nodded. I had to do this. They then said,'Perseus, you will have a difficult task ahead, and you must be ready for the troubles you will face'. I nodded. They waved their hand and I felt my body disappearing into shadows. I then saw that my body was becoming more defined and muscular.
I woke up with a gasp. I looked around, I was once again in some strange room. I turned around. I saw that it was much like a doctors room. I saw as the door opened. Aphrodite came in. I was shocked. I didn't expect this. She sat down next to me and said,'How do you feel?'. I looked at her and said,'I feel much better, why did I feel that pain when I touched the pen?'. She looked at me and said,'I believe that the domain of time thought that your weapon needed an improvement, usually, it does not give this much pain, but for some reason because of your powers, it meant that it released much more pain'. Then she said,'I know that you had a crush on her'. I was shocked. How did she know. 'I am the goddess of feeling, I could tell that your heart was broken when you found out that she was a traitor'. She then said,'Your father has asked me to help you get over her and to try and get you to feel love for someone else now, but before that, the gods want to see you and Hephaestus wants to show you your upgrade'. I nodded and as soon as I got up, she opened the door. I followed her and I found myself in an arena. I found Hephaestus there with my father. He said,'Son, you are to train, and we have your new weapon here'. He stepped aside and Hephaestus stepped forward. He had Riptide in his hand, but it was much bigger. He then said,'I made your sword bigger, and I have added 2 new functions'.
He gave me the sword and said,'Seeing as you are the god of time, we melted the scythe of Kroonos very carefully and merged it with Riptide, we added some Atlantean silver and some Huntress metal'. He then said,'I imagine your sword becoming a trident'. I looked at him and he nodded. I closed my eyes. I opened them and saw that the sword was now a trident. My father said,'When it is a trident, it is called Cyclone'. I nodded and hugged him. I couldn't believe it. Then he said,'Now think of it as a scythe'. I did. I saw as it changed shape. It looked exactly like Kronos's one. Hephaestus then said,'You can name this form as we wanted to give you the honours'. I nodded. I thought of a good name and came up with Desolation. I told him,'I think Desolation would be a good name'.
He said,'Are you sure?'. I nodded. He quickly carved it in Greek. He handed it back to me. I took it and admired his accuracy. He was indeed the greatest blacksmith. I nodded. Father came forward and said,'You will first need to get the hang of flashing in and out of places'. He moved aside and nodded for me to follow. I followed him. He said,'When you want to flash, you need to first decide where you want to go'. I nodded. Then he said,'Then you must create a picture in your mind on where you want to go'. I did. He then said,'You will feel a tug in your gut and you must let it consume you, we Olympians call it the Thrill'. I nodded. I first decided I wanted to be 10 feet away. Then I imagined it and then I felt a tug like father said, and I let it get stronger and then I felt coldness surround me. I opened my eyes and saw that I did it. I was really happy,and I could see my father was as well. I looked at his eyes and I could see pride in them. He looked at me and a wide grin appeared on his face. He came forward and said,'Percy, you did very well, not most new gods get it on their first time'. I was very proud of myself for achieving this in such a short time. I looked at him and he hugged me. Something about this just felt right. I then saw as Aphrodite came forward and said,'I must say I am impressed'. She then came forward and hugged me. For a few moments, I felt something weird in my heart, it was a feeling I could not figure out. I also felt very safe in her arms.
She released me and said,'Well, finish it off'. With that she disappeared. I then saw as father came forward and said,'We have some training to do'. I nodded and followed him.
