Previously:
"The gods had tons of kids with mortals Percy, and they haven't changed over the millennia." He said. "And those kids live dangerous lives, constantly on the run from monsters.
"What are you trying to say?" I asked fearing the answer
" I think you know Percy," he said "One of your parents is a god."
Chapter Two
I sat there in silence trying to comprehend what I just heard, repeating Grover's statement over and over in my head trying to process.
After what seemed like an eternity I spoke. "So your saying that Dad was a god?" I asked, the words sounding weird coming out my mouth.
"Well yeah since your mom is mortal." Grover replied.
"But my mom said that that dad in a car crash a day after I was born." I said
"Percy, that was something your mom made up to cover up your fathers disappearance." Grover said.
"So I've been lied to my entire life?
"There was a reason, Percy, because if you knew the truth about your father, you would acquire a scent that would make it easy for monsters to find you and kill you." Said Grover.
"Ok, but Grover, who is my father? I asked.
Grover thought for a second before answering, "I don't know Percy, and to be honest, you may never find out, the gods are like that, sometimes they forget about their kids and ignore them."
"But the fury called me something. The son of death. Does that mean anything? I said to him.
Grover got wide eyed and muttered something under his breath, "broken the oath" was all I caught.
Just then I remembered something. "When the fur-uhh kindly one attacked, she went through me as if I was made of smoke."
"Wait what?!" Grover looked surprised.
Before I could say anything the bus came to a stop.
"Wait where are we going?" I asked realizing I didn't yet know the answer.
"To your moms apartment so she can take us to Camp Half Blood, a place where you will be safe." Grover replied. "But before that I need to use the bathroom real quick, do not move till I come back."
"Ok, I won't." I told him as we got off the bus.
Confession time. I ditched Grover the second he walked into the bathroom. What can I say, he was freaking me out about all this kindly ones and half blood talk. I needed to be alone to have some time to think.
I walked all the way to Central Park trying to find a place to think. I found some nice shade and sat against the tree trunk. I thought about my father and who he could've been, and where he was now. With all these thoughts I started to nod off, eventually I fell into the realm of dreams. Safe to say I had some pretty weird dreams.
I was in a large black room that was lit by pedestals filled with green flames. At the end of the room there was a large black throne with weird cravings. In the throne was a large man clad in black battle armor with a scythe displayed across his lap. The man was looking down at another being. This entity wore a wispy cloak that covered most of its body. It almost looked like he was made out of smoke, making it somewhat hard to focus on.. I tried to get a good look at his face but all I saw was blackness under the hood. A ghost, I somehow knew.
"Nekros, give me a report on the enemy." The man on the throne said in a deep intimidating voice. "The enemy continues to grow in the darkness, my lord, corrupting more and more spirits each day." The ghost named Nekros replied.
"It is as I feared, it seems I have put it off too long, the time has come for me to face this threat head on." Said the man on the throne.
"Uhh, master, I advise against such actions, the enemy is quite powerful as of right now, but if they were able to capture you there power would become immeasurable." Said the ghost
"Do you have such little faith in me, my servant, that you believe I will fall to this enemy?" The man said.
"Of course not my lord, I just had your best interest in mind." Replied the ghost.
"I know Nekros, do not worry, I do not intend to lose this fight." The man said with a slight smile.
"Of course my lord." Said the ghost.
"I am glad you understand. With that said I will attack at morning tomorrow, when the enemy is at its weakest. In the unlikely event that I do not return I entrust to you, Nekros, my loyal servant, the responsibility of taking care of my son. I expect you are willing to accept such an task?" The man asked.
"I would be honored, my lord." Replied Nekros.
"Thank you, my servant. With that you are dismissed." Said the man with a smile.
With that the servant bowed and dissipated into to smoke, then left the room.
The man stood up from the throne, the smile gone from his face. He looked out the massive window on the side of the room, his scythe in hand.
"I am ready for you...Father."
The dream seemed to shimmer and I was in a completely different place. The image in front of me was of a woman and the same man from the previous dream in a gazebo surrounded by dead trees. On closer inspection I saw that the woman was actually my mother, and in her hand was a baby, that I presumed to be me. "The past?" I wondered. My thoughts were interrupted by the mans voice.
"I am sorry I must go, my love but my duty's call for me." Said the man.
"It's fine, I promise, me and little Perseus will be fine." My mom said with a slight laugh.
"Even so I will not leave without leaving this with my dear son." Said the main as he pulled out a box. In the box was a obsidian black ring with strange symbols ingrained in them. He took the ring out of the box and place it on the baby's small fingers. The ring instantly shrunk to fit the finger.
"A weapon, that will appear in your time of need, sweet child." Said the man kissing the baby's forehead.
"Now I must depart, my love, may I see you soon." Said the man as he kissed my mom and poofed in a cloud of darkness.
I woke up from my strange dream to a weird growling sound. I looked up to see a massive dog the size of a rhino with bared teeth, staring right at me. "Maybe it's friendly." I though hopefully. The dog started running at me full speed, mouth right open. "Nope."
Without knowing what to do I jumped to the side of the charging dog. Not a second too soon as the dog bit down, narrowly missing me and hitting the tree. I thought of running but decided not to seeing as how this thing would rip my back out in two seconds.
I was trying to think of something to do when something shiny caught my eye. There on my finger, was a black ring. I tried to take it off but as soon as I tried to it turned into a black mist. The mist was shapeless for a moment, but not a second later, I had in my hand a five foot long scythe with a wicked point. "Woahhhhh." I though.
I didn't have much time to marvel at the weapon, as now the dog had recovered from running into the tree. The dog seemed weary of the weapon in my hand, but didn't hesitate a second to charge at me again. I experimentally swung at the dog, cutting it a little bit on the side of its face. The dog jumped back and whimpered slightly.
I decided I would have to wait longer before swinging if I wanted to finish this thing. The dog circled me, waiting for an opening. Apparently seeing one, it charged. I waited before attacking, "Hold it...Hold it...NOW!" I thought as I swung the scythe. It cut through the dog like butter, leaving behind a pile of grey dust. "Nice."
I looked at the scythe wondering what I was gonna do with it. As if responding to my thoughts it instantly turned into smoke that wrapped around my finger. In an instant I had a black ring around my finger.
I looked at my hand for a moment, contemplating my next move. I figured I needed to find answers. As of right now I knew two things, the ring on my hand was the same one from the dream, and the man on the black throne, was my father.
IM BACK! I know i said it would be months before i was back but things have changed for the better, so here we are. Obviously it has been a while since I have started this story and honestly I kinda forgot some of the plot, so there may there may be some small plot holes (nothing serious, mind you) and some weird wording but nothing too serious. I think im just gonna write and Ill use the original plot as a guide but this way everything will flow. But with that said ill see yall in the next chapter. Byeeeee!
