Chapter 2: Monster

Today was a bright sunny day and it's been a week, since Percy met Kronos. They meet every single day, at the library, and just walk around town. They have fun and just talk. Kronos told him about adventures that he had with his older brothers, about how his father died and in turn Percy told him about how his father was lost at sea. About Sally and how she really wants to meet this boy that has become her son's best friend. So they agree to meet on Thursday at 4 pm for an early dinner, since Kronos is going to be traveling to Greece in two days.

But for now they would stick to the book store, ever since learning that Percy was severely dyslexic Kronos had tried to get the boy to read.

"So your dyslexia is horrible hmm?" Kronos had asked a smirk on his face and holds out a pair of glasses. "Don't tell anyone but these should help."

"Glasses these are glasses how are these going to help?" Percy asked.

"They were crafted from my brother; he is really good at making things…" Kronos said and stared to the left. "Right, my older brother is coming to pick me up, I'll see you later ok Perce?" the older boy smiles and waves to Percy who watches his friend walk away.

"See you around Kronos," Percy said and watched them drive away.

Kronos Terra did things that left Percy wondering, wanted answers but the boy had evaded answering them. Like how did his older brother make these glasses and other things, but they would be answered sooner or later.

Shrugging Percy also headed to the door and strolled to McDonald's.

Putting on the glasses, Percy looked at the books in his hands and frowns, he shouldn't be able to read the cover, but he can! Star Wars: Original Trilogy: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

_Line break_

The monster is prowling the streets, unseen to the mortal eyes, smelling out half-bloods that don't know what they are yet, for his Lord to train them. One of them is powerful in his smell, so goes in for the hunt.

The boy senses something and turns around but finds no one, so he waits at the corner of the street, hoping that the feeling to pass. It doesn't. Something yanks on his leg and he is thrown backwards hitting the wall and he cries out. Grabbing the closest thing to a weapon, a stick, Percy whacks the beast and only succeeds in making it angry.

It turns to him and its eyes are a blazing red.

"Oh no…"

Kronos is just dozing in the home base that he set up in New York City with the other Titans when he felt danger trickle through the bond he shared with Percy. Using his powers to make himself an adult he flashed and found the monster going in for the kill. "No!" he yelled out and took a deadly accuracy slash with his scythe. The bronze and black blade made the monster become ash; Picking up the boy who is holding his side as if a wound is there he flashes away and lays him on the bed, and summons his brother over.

"What happened?" Iapetus asks and frowns detecting the wounds.

"Monster, I guess he was sniffing out demigods for the war and smelt him, I dunno." Kronos sneered at having to tell his brother, who had demanded that he, king of the titans and once of the universe tell him anything.
