p class="MsoNormal""So, as it would turn out falling from Olympus is not good for your physical health." I thought to myself. Keeping my joking attitude is probably the only reason I'm still sane…well sane-ish. I'm racking my head around where I should go, I can't fly and I can't hide under water for fear of Zeus or my fa- Poseidon finding me, he doesn't deserve to be called my father. I can't stay here either, Artemis would be able to track me all too easily. I looked to the ground slightly sadden by the thought of the maiden goddess, I always felt she supported me despite being a male… So, no cash, no transportation and no help the only thing good about tonight was the rain helping to close my wounds… I inhale "let's do this."/p

p class="MsoNormal"Great of course they found me, I hadn't left Manhattan yet, you know, pretty much their hometown. of course, they would have eyes in the sky keeping watch. As another golden arrow was impaled into the wall next to me. "Come on Percy, you don't need to keep running, just make this easier for us" I heard as the sun god chased me through an alley. Yeah, as if I wanted to die, I mean I do, but not at the hands of those filthy gods. I ran as fast as my legs would let me, but I could feel him catching up with me and if I wasn't careful the entire council would be on his trail. I quickly dipped through a door to an abandon warehouse, looks like I can't run from this but maybe I could incapacitate him. I looked around and saw broken boxes and hanging chains, broken glass covered the floor, if there was a place to die in a horror movie, this would be it. I steeled my nerves; I was not going to be the victim. I grabbed a chain a quickly ducked behind a wall. Chaos I hoped this worked./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"I heard the door I came through open, followed by a loud bang as its slammed shut. I close my eyes and still my breathing as I hear the glass crack underneath his feet. It grows closer and closer until it suddenly stops./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"Suddenly a hand bursts through the wall I'm up against and pulls me through. I cough as the debris tries to enter my lungs. I quickly get up only to be punched in the gut. "We could've done this the easy way Percy, but you had to run, you had to make me chase you" apollo smiled unnervingly largely "a simple arrow through the skull, a quick, slightly painful death." I quickly recover from the punch in the gut, well as quickly as I can with a couple broken ribs, and slowly begin to back up. "Retreating Percy, I thought you were this great warrior" another step back "the one of the 7 heroes of Olympus" and another "the one who went toe to toe with Kronos and won" come on apollo just another step forward "now I can't wait to-" NOW! I quickly threw my chain around apollo's neck keeping the other end firmly in my hand. I ran at him and slid underneath his legs and pulled up has hard as I could with the chain hearing a loud crunch and groan from the sun god. I wrapped the chain around his body creating something of a knot with him in the middle. He fell to the ground with a face full of glass. Uncapping riptide, I walk over to him./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal""Percy, Percy come on let's think about this rationally" I said nothing as I slashed both of his Achilles tendons. He let out a loud cry as I continued to walk around him. "Percy come on, just let me go, I'm sorry is that what you want to hear, I'm sorry for trying to kill you but, I-I was under orders from Zeus what was I expected to do" I brought riptide up to his throat before cutting his arm off. He screamed and id be lying if I said it wasn't music to my ears. "Fuck you, Percy! I hope you enjoy this while it last because when I come back for you, you'll face the full might of the council!" I simply stared at him. And began to laugh, laugh as hard as I could, a loud maniacal laugh that cause the sun god to sweat bullets. "You really are an idiot. You think I don't know that? I want the council to find me, I want to make them pay for what they've done, and once I'm through with them you can say bye bye to your precious thrones" I said. apollo smiled "you think you could face the full might of Olympus, I'm not the idiot here" I turned riptide and put it up to his throat quickly cutting his head off. "That makes 1" I grabbed apollo's bow and strapped his head to my belt. With all that bravado he had no wonder it was easy to capture him, he should've just shot me when he had me cornered, but hey if he was any smarter, I probably wouldn't be standing here. I thought about how this would affect Artemis, I really hoped she and Hestia wouldn't come for me. I shook my head as those thoughts entered my mind. I can't afford to be thinking about them./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"As I finally escaped Manhattan I began to think, what happened back on Olympus, that power I felt, the abilities it gave me. If I could just access it again it would make this whole endeavor a whole lot easier, but then again that would of course be too easy. I sighed and held my thumb out hoping someone still had a heart./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"I fell asleep for the first time that night, arms and legs still aching from the beating I got. if it wasn't for the rain that night, I probably would've passed out from the pain a long time ago. Then I began to dream./p

p class="MsoNormal"strongAlright guys that's chapter two, hope you enjoyed. This story feels really hard to write, trying to pit Percy against Mount Olympus with only riptide, and the powers of a demi human, which might change who know, because I don't I'm pulling all of this out my ass. Anyway all rights go to Rick Riordan and his amazing books, and any suggestions would be much appreciated, on where to go from here, characters to bring in, whether it be allies or enemies, so anyone who wants to put a suggestion in the comments, it would be much obliged, also hoping to make chapters longer in the future, but with college this is the best I can do, bye guys/strong/p
