An Aliance

Percy's POV

When we hit the ground, the first thing that I realized was that Tartarus wasn't as dark and the air wasn't as acidic as the last time I came. I figured that it must have been because I was a "monster", as Zeus says.

I walked over to the others and was about to ask if they were okay, when I heard a voice. "Sup," it said, as I spun around.

The speaker was a man that looked to be about 21, with pitch black hair, black eyes that looked like voids, and a crooked grin. He was about 6 feet 4 inches tall, and was wearing black jeans, a red t-shirt, and a leather jacket. He had a sword on his back, a dagger on his belt, and a spear in his hand. I instantly knew who it was.

"Tartarus." I said, glaring at him.

"Perseus." He replied.

"What do you want?" I growled, my sword in my hand.

"No need for weapons Perseus. I want to propose an alliance."

"WHAT!? You try to kill me, and then you want an alliance? Are you crazy?"

"No I'm not crazy, and yes I do want an alliance. I apologize for trying to kill you. I wasn't in my right mind. May I talk to the others though?"

"Only if you swear on the Styx not to harm them at all. Directly, or indirectly."

"I swear on the Styx not to harm them in any way. Directly or indirectly." Thunder rumbled and I nodded.

"Fine. I'm going ." And with that I left my friends.

Third Person POV

As Clarisse, Michael, Conner, Travis, Calypso, Leo, Frank, and Hazel watched Percy walk off, Tartarus spoke.

"When your friend returns, I recommend you accept his offer. Also, I was serious about my offer. I believe we could help each other."

"We can try, but what offer?" Michael said, shrugging. The other seven agreed, saying, "Yeah."

"You'll see. Do you accept the alliance?"

"Yes" We all went silent and Percy walked back.

"Hey. So... you're probably gonna think that I'm crazy, but I could make you Dusks. That way just being here wouldn't affect you as much. I mean, it's fine if you don't want t-"

"Shut up Prissy. I don't know about the others but I think that it would be cool." Clarisse said, effectively cutting off Percy. Soon everyone else was nodding and saying "yeah."

Percy touched each of them on the shoulder and muttered in Ancient Greek. They all started to glow and soon, they were all Dusks. Their fur was the same color as their hair and their wings matched.

Percy started explaining what they needed to know, like how to change form, what their main weaknesses were, and how to change only one thing, such as staying human, but still having wings.

Once everything was explained, Tartarus spoke to Percy, saying "I would like to bless you. Do you accept?"

"Yes." A beam of red light was blasted at Percy and when it faded, Percy was slightly taller and more muscular and was wearing a red shirt with a black leather jacket. He had dark blue jeans and black combat boots. The biggest changes though, were that Percy now had red streaking through his hair and his eyes were now wea green vortexes.

Tartarus began telling Percy what he got because of the blessing, such as how he would be able to master any weapon and that he had better control over all the rivers of here. When he as done, Tartarus snapped and a mansion appeared in front of the group. He then spoke, saying "This is where you will be staying. I have to go now, but I will come spcheck on you later."

Sorry for the wait. I'll try to be better and update more. Please check out my other stories!
