9. Quest 2

Hey guys here's the next chapter hope you enjoy. Thank you to every one who reviews, favorites, and follows the story. And to Death Fury, who asked if Percy could pull the poison out of the tree, its a no. Because it's a lot harder to pull poison out of the roots, leaves, and bark, rather than his own body. Which he is just splitting the liquids up. I do not own Percy Jackson, if you haven't please go read the books by Rick Riordan. Also sorry for the really late story. And I'm really sorry for the late chapter, I just got busy and detracted, and I have been reading a lot of other fan fictions. So I have more ideas for stories and how to continue this story.

Percy

The sun was now rising over the lake as I sat on the beach and looked over the waters. I was angry at myself for being so calm and lenient, thinking everything was fine, for letting my guard down. It was my job to protect the camp, as I was the strongest demigod here, seeing as I . And now each minute Thalia's tree was getting closer to death, and the barrier it makes is getting weaker and weaker.

My control over my anger was becoming weaker, and the currents of the waves were becoming faster and more fierce. The winds began to pick up and dark clouds were now moving over the lake, and the ground beneath me was beginning to crack. I stood up and clenched my hands into fist trying to regain my calmness. I paced on the beach as waves lapped at my feet. My tactics on calming down were not working. The sky's where now covered in a blanket of grey clouds, and the water was going every where, with waves crashing the beach, and the ground shaking with wind whipping past Percy, blowing his hair out of his face.

"PERCY, PERCY, PERCY!" Annabeth and Grover screamed over the winds trying to get my attention.

I turned around to face the two, along with a small group of campers behind them at the top of the beach, who all looked terrified at my show of power. At the sight of my friends and their fear I calmed down, not wanting to scare the people I wanted to protect. I walked up the beach and everything around me began to calm down. The clouds above me began to dissipate, the waves settled, the ground calmed down, and the small hurricane that was forming in the middle of the lake was now shrinking back into the water.

As I walked up to the group of demigods standing on the top of the hill, I noticed their looks of fear, changed to looks of shock, amazement, and awe.

"So, what now?" I asked as they held a meeting and were preparing for a quest to help Thalia's tree, and they let me sit the meeting out so I could calm myself down.

"A quest has been appointed. Clarissa, Chris, and Anthony the satyr will go on the quest. They just got there prophecy and they will be retrieving the golden fleece." Annabeth finished still having a look of awe in her eyes.

"I still think I should go to help Clarissa out." I said not wanting Clarissa to go by herself.

"She can handle herself Perce. Plus if she hers you saying that you'll be the one needing protection." Grover said with a smile as he patted my back, not be fazed at the show of power that just went on.

I smiled back at Grover," So what now? When are they leaving?" I asked

"They left already, and as for us. We have to continue training, and prepare for war. We don't know when they will attack, so we need to be prepared at all times."

I gave Annabeth a nod and we all headed for breakfast. After I was finished with breakfast I went to my cabin. I sat there in the dark, now that I had let out all of my anger I rethought about what had happened with a clearer mind. And I soon fell into a deep sleep.

Dream World

I woke up in the middle of the woods, it wasn't the ones at camp, and I didn't see anything that would tell me where I was. No mountains, roads or trails, or signs, but I could feel a stream close by. So I ventured off to the stream thinking I would be better off if I had an advantage if what ever brought me here should itself. It had only been a few minutes before I heard it. A giant roar, and it was coming in the direction of the stream. I had heard nothing like this before, it wasn't any where near me and it sounded like a fighter jet just took off above me. It sounded like a mixture of a lion, bear, and freight train. But it also sounded like it was the same sound going off multiple times, making the roar sound like its vibration or echoing.

As soon as the roar quieted I heard another scream. But this wasn't another beast that was going in for the kill, it was prey. It sounded like a human man, and the way he screamed was horrible, you can tell just from his voice just how afraid he was, and how close to death he was. I immediately took off into a sprint. As I came closer to the stream the sound of running water became clearer and clearer, but I could also hear the sound of a fight going on. When I finally got to the source of all the sound what I say was horrible. It was Anthony and he was torn in half with a frozen look of fear and pain on his face. But what caused it was even worse. It was a giant blacked scaled dragon with seven heads, and one poison green eye, and cold blue eye on each head. It was standing over the stream battling a girl using a spear with red lightning crackling off he tip of the spear. And a boy with an oval shaped shield and a spear.

The girl charged at the giant beast with a war cry spinning her spear in her hands. The hydra swiped at her with its front paw, but the girl skillfully rolled under it turned around and stabbed it in its elbow sending red lightning jolting through its arm. When the girl pulled the spear out one of the heads lunged at her but she once again dodged the attack and was standing in front of the beast again. While all this was going on the man was sneaking up behind the beast which was quite hard when the thing your sneaking up on has seven heads with two eyes each, that were better then an eagles vision. As the three of the Hydras heads stard down the girl three whipped around to meet the boy who was thrusting its spear at its back. One of the Hydra heads bite the spear in half, another head butted the man into the stream and the third roared at the boy who was now on his back. Also while all that was going on the last head poked at its arm that was now limp because of the electricity that just went through it.

When all of this stuff was going on I was desperately trying to move to help them. But I couldn't, it was like some one else was controlling my body, I couldn't even look away. I couldn't move the water, make an earthquake, or even change the speed of the wind a little.

The girl was now charging to protect her fallen friend, one head lunged at her and she turned around on one knee to stab its head, but the Hydra was expecting the roll and a second one was right behind her and bite her at the waste. The Hydra head hosted he up at thrash his head with the girl still in its jaws before throwing her body into a tree that was right by me. There was blood all over the girls body, and as the girls lifeless body laid there I recognized the spear once I got a closer look, it was Clarissa, and she was died.

I was now panicking, I was trying to move but my body wouldn't budge, on the inside I was panicking, screaming, I was doing everything I could to try and help Chris, but there was nothing I could do. All seven heads were now staring down at Chris, who was laying on his back frozen in fear. And before the heads could attack the image dissipated, like how murky water turns clear, the image just vanished. I now had full control over my body, I jerked around and looked in all directions, but there was nothing. I was just floating in complete darkness. And that's when I heard the familiar dark and cold voice again, Kronos.

"This is what is to come to all of your friends. The only way to save them is to join me young demigod. Help me bring down the Olympians, they have never done anything for you, you have no debt to them. Join me and you will live like a king, and you will save your friends." The icy voice of Kronos said.

I quickly jerked up in my bed. I was sweating and breathing heavily, but at the same time I was wide awake and cold. I looked around my cabin, and there was nothing. I looked out my window and it was pitch black,'did I really sleep all day', I thought to myself. 'If those dreams where real then they couldn't have possible happened already, I mean they just left earlier today. That means there could still be a chance to save them.' I took a quick shower to get all the sweat off from the nightmare I had really quick before changing into a pair of dark blue jeans, with a long sleeve light blue shirt. And I wore a pair of white and blue Adidas shoes with the same black Nike's book bag. I filled it with ambrosia, rector, money, drachmas, and spare clothes. I slide two hunting knives onto either side of my ankles into one of the holsters. And a dagger hanging around my waste along with a few throwing knives. I made sure I had my pen in my pocket, which I did as always, and then I left the cabin.

I walked to the Big House and snuck up to the oracle knowing that I would never find Clarissa if I didn't know where to start. After I went to the oracle I found out that the three were going to an Island off of Florida in search of the fleece. I left immediately after I found that out. I quietly walked to borders of the camp. I started my journey slowly jogging through the woods of Rhode Island, stopping every now and then at a stream, river, lake, or any clean water I could fined, or just stopping when ever I got tired. Which was a lot since I wasn't in shape for this, but I used this as training since I could practice with my powers I would work on my speed and stamina. Especially since most things I fight are slower and bigger than me. In just the first day of leaving I had already ran into more than two dozen cyclopes, those things are every where.

And now the sun was now on the horizon. The day was almost to an end and I was now in New Jersey. I sat on a log to rest for the night , I didn't have any sleeping bag or matches because I wanted to learn how to survive with out any of those things, because being strong and fast isn't enough to win a war. I need other skills, and strategies if I want to protect my friends. I walked around the forest looking for twigs and dry leaves to start a fire and on the way I found a squirrel which I killed with one of my throwing knives so I had something to eat. My camp was now set up, I had a small fire going under a giant pine tree, since it was raining at the moment. I had just finished eating when I heard the battle cries of and ogre. I've been seeing them ever since I got to New Jersey but I decided to avoid them since they smell horrible. I put out the fire and gathered my stuff, then I began to climb the tree with my bag. I slipped in between the branches, so that I was on top of the trunk but the branches were surrounding me, I didn't want to wake up by falling out of the tree. Especially with that ogre roaming around. I leaned against one of the large branches and stared up at the night sky. I always liked that were ever I was the sky was always the same. Just the beautiful stars and galaxies. I stared up at the infinite sea of stars while I drifted off to sleep.

Luckily tonight was just a regular dreamless sleep. The next to days went pretty much the same, each day my running, sneaking, hunting, and overall survival skills became better. And I was killing each monster I faced faster and faster. Now if I could only use a bow and arrow. It's been three days since I left camp and I was now in North Carolina, and it was hot. It was at least a hundred degrees, and the wind just blew hot air into my face, if I tried to sit down in the shade I was just meet by hundreds of bugs. So right now I was in the middle of no where looking for a stream or river to relax at. It took me half an hour to even sense a source of water, now I had to find it. I was walking through the woods and everything looked and sounded like how I felt. The colors of the leaves, and flowers looked dull and dead. There were no chirping from the birds, even the buzzing of the bugs sounded like they were tired. But there was a good thing about all this, just a mile away I could sense a river. It was a clean and strong one too. I could feel the currents of the water barreling over the rocks, I could hear the sounds of the water they made speeding down the hill, and at the end of the river was a small waterfall that went into a lake, that was about ten miles away.

I now had new found energy. I could feel the cold water on my skin already, and the nice breezing coming off the water. And then my moment of happiness and bliss was stopped when I heard the roar of the Hydra. I looked around at the trees and I recognized them all from my dream. My drowsiness from the scorching heat caused me not to notice where I was. I immediately took off into a sprint, making it to the river in about five minutes.

I ran straight to the river, knowing where everything was, and what was going to happen, I ran right past Clarissa and Chris and head on to the Hydra. I was now charging the Hydra, who in my dream was over the river, but this time it was on the other side chasing Anthony the satyr that was on this quest. Anthony was the oldest looking satyr at camp. besides the elder satyrs, he looked about fifteen, but in reality he was older since satyrs age slower. He was about three inches taller than me, with short hair that was longer on the top and front, which was all spiky and pointing in different directions. The outfit he was wearing was the usual satyr attire, he had a leather vest with his medic pouch, but unlike Grover he had a wooden flute instead of a reed pipe. Anthony had just entered the river when I used the water to lunch him over me. Once Anthony hit the ground I thrusted my hand upward, both making a wall of water behind me to protect the three of them, as well as making giant pillars hurl out of the water into the Hydras chest, sending it stumbling away from the river bed.

The currents of the river were now surrounding me on their own will, probably sensing that I'm the son of Poseidon and automatically protecting me. I raised my sword and stared back at the Hydra readying myself for battle against the giant beast in front of me. The Hydra shock off the its daze and focused all of its heads on me. So now the fifteen foot tall beast with seven heads had all of its attention on me, should have thought this through a little more. The six heads opposite of the middle head all lowered to meet me, and each one of there head was as big as me. They all opened their mouths letting loses blazing hot red and orange flames, that combined and came at me like a giant flame thrower. I dropped into a ball, completely forgetting my fighting stance and just focusing on covering myself in water.

As the Hydra heads kept their relentless assault of fire on me, the only thing I did was focused on the water around me. Forcing all of the water to surround me in a small dome of water, shielding me from the fire. But this wasn't going to last forever. I could feel the size of the river and the strength of the waters decreasing. If this kept going as it was the entire river would be gone and I'd be cooked. I had to get out from the Hydras fire so I stomped, on the now dry ground that I stood on, focusing on the direction the Hydra was in so it would be stronger and it wouldn't affect my friends. I could hear the stomps of the Hydra in retaliation of the earthquake. I let down my dome of protection and sprinted at the Hydra. The Hydra regained its barrings and attacked right away, sending each head flying at me, forcing me to slide under, dodge, and jump of the heads, until I was under its stomach. Where I plunged my sword in its chest and continued running so there was a giant cut leading from its chest to its stomach. The Hydras was now kneeling on its front and back right legs. Its heads began to lick at its wound. The wound closed a little, enough to prevent it from dying, but it still crippled it, as it was now going slower.

The river was now all dried out, except for the wall of water that covered my friends. I stood ready for battle as the Hydra was now sizing me up, not wanting any more surprises before it attacked again. I grabbed the throwing knives that were around my waste and throw them at the Hydra will following the knives and once again going under the giant serpent like creature while the beast was detracted by the knives that were now in its chest and some of its heads. I continued running under its stomach, until I reached its tail, which I than began to climb. Once I was on its back all the heads turned to face me and began to lunge at me. I deflected each head, seeing as I was not able to dodge, each head bounced off my sword pushing me back. The hard scales on its head clanged with my blade and created sparks each time it collided my blade.

I opened a small door in the wall of water. I brought the water to me through the ground, and once it was in the ground under the Hydra I hardened it into ice and made spikes come out right into its stomach. Clarissa then came charging through the opening of the wall throwing her spear into the beast chest, I then changed the ice back into water than covered the Hydra will Clarissa's spear was sending electric, causing the electricity to spread through more of its body, as well as it doing more damage.

The Hydra was now slouched over and smoking. Clarissa walked over to me and punched me right in my shoulder, causing me to lose focus and drop the wall of water.

"Ow, what was that for?" I asked angrily staring at her.

"For trying to take that thing on by yourself! You could have killed yourself!" She said also staring back at me with an even colder stare.

I took a step back. I might have been able to face a Hydra with out any fear, but Clarissa was completely different. First off I could actually fight off the Hydra, and while I was fighting it I had an entire river. Plus right now I wanted to take a nap from using my powers so much. I took another step back. I was starting to get a little dizzy. My back was starting to kill me, there was pain all over it, and it was seeping around my sides and starting to get to my chest. I looked down at m clothes and saw that they were all singed and it was burning my skin. But it wasn't burning like it should. I could see the small fire on my chest, and I could hear and smell the larger one on my back. I could fell the fire on me but it didn't hurt like it should. I took off my hoodie and shirt, but it was to late. I was to tired from the fight, the pain was to much my vision began to turn black and I past out.

Time for another nightmare. I was really starting to get sick of these dreams. At least this time I wasn't in the dark and damp caverns of Tartarus. This time I was on some sort of boat. And if I wasn't the son of Poseidon I would've never known, because the place was huge. It looked like a mall, one that you would find in a European city that made there money off of tourist. All around me was the average American tourist. Their clothes varied from Hawaiian shirts, causal wear, and various shirts that said 'I heart' and multiple different countries and famous cities.

The atmosphere of the place was pretty calm and laid back. The people were talking, shopping, eating, and there was kids running around the place. It would have been an amazing place, if not for the creatures that were hiding among the people. I'd been walking for what fell like hours, and every so often I would see a monster following me, or some half-human half-monster creature pass me. I've been walking around this place for hours, and I was starting to get. I had no ideal where I was going, or where I was at. I took a set next to a fountain and looked around me once again. Everything was the same, the same people doing the same thing, it was like they were all on repeat. Except this time I could see more monsters, it seemed like they were less and less worried about hiding their prescience. They were beginning to surround me. There was harpies, young Griffins, and Hippogriffins(basically the same as Griffins just a white and grey color scheme, and Griffins are more fierce and battle ready). And there was ogres and cyclopes's surrounding me on the ground. I hovered my hand over the fountain water and created multiple orbs of water that floated just above the surface of the water so they wouldn't notice. I then began to make the orbs longer and more slender until they were small spears, which I then turned to ice. I casually scanned there area, not wanting to alert the monsters and have the mortals get injured, especially since I didn't know if this was real or not, since in my last dream I could move or control anything. I threw my hand out in front of me propelling all the ice spears at the creatures I was targeting, but before any hit their target everything vanished into a mist and I was in some sort of dungeon/throne room/ ritual site.

I could still sense that I was at the same place, but now I was under water, were as earlier I was a few stories above the sky. The room I was in wasn't that big, it was lit by a small hearth that was in the middle in the room. It made the place look gloom and spooky. There were chains and cages hanging from ceiling, a giant coffin sitting in front of an even bigger throne. I walked up to the coffin, but before I could make it all the way the fire flickered and I was stuck in place just like the dreams. I could move anything or stop looking away from the coffin.

"There is no escape demigod. You think just because you saved three puny lives you can defy me." The dark and gloomy voice let out a maniacal laugh. It was obvious that this was Kronos, but this felt different. He felt closer, more awake, stronger." I will have you bow at my feet I will kill all the people you love. For every life you save, for every one of my plans you interfere in, every solider you kill of mine. I will kill millions of peoples, desecrate cities, sink continents, I will destroy the entire Earth along with all of you mortals and your so called Gods. This planet will be reborn in my image, and I will rule once again." With every word he said his anger raised, the intensity of is voice raised, along with the heat and weight of the air in the room.

The weight and heat was to much. I couldn't move but I could feel my bones breaking and the sweat clinging on my skin. There was no body but I could hear the voice getting closer, now only whispers and I felt my power drain from my body, I could feel its presence coming closer. I could feel my blood leaking out of my skull, my bones becoming powder, but I was still stuck in place, no emotions showing. My head was pounding and the pain was throbbing through my brain. I couldn't take it any more. I blacked out from pain.

I woke up on a cozy bench that had cushions on it and there was a blanket that covered me. It was rapped all around me, and I struggled to get out of it as my body was feeling soar and numb.

When I finally go up I stood there with the blanket at my feet breathing heavily at that small task, showing how much I was exhausted. I looked around at my surroundings and saw that I was still on a boat. And for a son of Poseidon I should love all this time on boats, but it was starting to get annoying. The boat wasn't the same white, giant, and fancy yacht that held all the mortals and stores.

This one was and old timey ship that was made of wood. The sails themselves were marvelous. Their was three of them and each one was stories high, with tattered black sails that showed the hard ship and battle its been through. The boat had three floors, the top deck that I was on, the middle, that held the rooms, kitchens, captains quarters, cannons, etc. And on the very bottom was a storage area that held food, ammunition, and things for repairs.

I could tell all of this and more about the ship. I could feel the people walking on the ships, I could feel the presence of some one coming in my direction. I tried to ready myself for the presence that was moving towards me, but I was to sore to fight. I was leaning against the wall that was right behind the bench. I put one hand on the wall so I could hold myself up and give myself some room from the wall. While my other hand held my Riptide and I stared at the door and waited for my enemy to come out.

My sword pointed at the door as a man, thing walled out. The man wore a old tattered sailors outfit, his skin complexion was a weird mixture of grey and a pale blue. with eyes that were white and a really dark maroon. The center of the eyes were lifeless white that looked like fading fog, yet the actual color was more white then the clouds in the sky and the dark maroon only emphasized the brightness of the white, as well as its showed how died it was.

I lunged forward, doing nothing but letting my sore body dropped, so all my weight was behind my sword and it went straight throw his stomach. I placed my for arm on his chest as I tried to pull my sword out of his body, that still hadn't disintegrated, but I ended up pushing my self away from the man will my sword was still inside his stomach. Sweet ran down my back and dripped off my face, as pain crawled over my body.

The man looked at the sword in his stomach before pulling it out and throwing it to the floor with a grunt. He started to limp towards me as the door once again opened to show Clarissa, Chris, and Antonio.

"Stop!" Clarissa yelled at the "man" that was reaching out to grab me. "Percy it's about time you woke up, were almost at the islands that holds the golden fleece." She said will taking the sword out of the "man" and handing it to me.

"What is that, where am I, what island, where did you get this ship?" I started to bombarded Clarissa with questions, not liking that I didn't know how long I was asleep or what happened.

"Whoa, slow down there Percy. This is Edward, one of my fathers servants that died in WWII. I got him along with the boat as a gift from my father for retrieving his sword and shield that he lost in the mortal world. Right now where headed to the sea of monsters where the giant Polyphemus uses the golden fleece to lore in satyr so he can eat."

I stared at her processing what she just said, trying to think back through the countless myths and legends I have learned of.

"But how did you do all that so quickly?" I said when I was done going over the myth in my mind.

"That's because you've been out for three days." Clarissa said with a look of worry and sadness.

"How could I have been asleep that long?" I said with a look of disbelief and panic.

"Well, you were pretty exhausted after the fight with the Hydra, plus it took longer due to your injuries." Clarissa told me giving me a small smile.

"What?" I asked her as her smile grew.

"Noting." She lied turning away from me and smiling even more.

"What?!" I said a pit louder wanting to know what she was thinking.

"Oh, it's just that you drool when you sleep, like a lot." She said breaking out into a laugh as I glared at her.

"Shut up!" I yelled, only making her laugh harder.

" You looked like a little baby... you even cuddled up to the blanket we gave you..." She said laughing and trying to caught her breath at the same time.

I just glared at he as a the currents started to pick up rocking the coat side to side, which didn't bother me much so I just kept glaring at Clarissa. But, this did catch Clarissa's eye as she stopped laughing and was now looking at the ocean with a very worried expression that I didn't notice. Then out of no where a giant lightning bolt smashed into the side of the ship almost tipping it over, and even throwing some of the undead sailors overboard.

"What was that?!" I said looking up not seeing any clouds.

"I don't know." Clarissa said with a now panicked look.

Not even two seconds later a full on storm was going on. Like we where just magically teleported to the center of a storm. Lightning was now everywhere, dozens of bolts going off on either side of the ship each second, the waves now growing so they were just a foot taller then the ship so that water was now all over the main deck.

"Everyone under deck now!" Clarissa screamed holding the door open for Chris and Antonio.

I closed my eyes and focused on the water, waiting for that familiar tug I always got when controlling water, but there was non. This confused and scared the hell out of me. I tried again but it didn't work. So I focused on the storm clouds, using my power as the storm bringers son to stop or at least weaken the storm, but that didn't work ether, not even a small hitch.

"PERCY!" Clarissa screamed at the top of her lunges since the storm has got even strong in the sort seconds that I was trying to subdue the storm." IT WON'T WORK, WHERE IN THE SEA OF MONSTERS, THIS ISN'T YOUR FATHER'S DOMAIN!" I heard her perfectly fine, but I ignored her. I might not have power over the waves and the storm, but I still had power over the ship. And with that power I could tell the ship wasn't going to survive this, so I had to do something.

I ran to the front of the ship and put my hands on the railing for support and I kept trying to stop the storm but it wasn't working. I focused on the storm and waves for minutes trying to do everything I could, but it wasn't working. I felt a hand on my shoulder and opened my eyes, I looked around and say that the storm had gotten even worse. There were now about a dozen twister surrounding the ship as well as two whirlpools on either side of the ship. The waves were now bigger, each wave be about eleven feet higher then the boat, and hitting the ship at a faster rate. Luckily the lightning bolts only increased in number not in power, as there was about fifty bolts going off simultaneously on both sides of the ship that were the same size as before, other wise the lightning alone would have destroyed the ship.

The ship itself looked okay, a few fires here and there. A lot of scorch marks scattered everywhere, and the side railing had gaps everywhere, where there should have been more railing, but due to the storm it was gone.

I looked at the person whose hand was on my shoulder and found a drenched and hurt daughter of Ares. When she say that I dad seen her she gave me a small smile before passing out into my arms. As I held Clarissa in my arms I feel to the ground due to exhaustion. I guess since my powers weren't working on the storm it was being poured into the ship so it didn't fall apart.

I forced my I lids to stay open and focused on the waves and rain. I let them pour over me and sat there for a moment as the power in powered me, not anywhere close to as water in my father's domain did, but it still helped keep me awake. As I opened my eyes I saw a giant tentacle slamming down at me.

I pushed Clarissa of me and out of the way while I rolled in the opposite way of her. As soon as I was on my feet I had my sword in my hands and I ran to Clarissa as a second tentacle swung at Clarissa and I rammed my shoulder into it before it could touch her. Causing it to slamming hard inches by her. It then raised a foot into the air and came flying at me, throwing me into a railing that broke when I hit it.

I clung to the ledge with my left hand holding my sword with my right hand, not want to drop it in the ocean, since it wasn't my father's domain so I didn't want to drop it to pull my self up. I tried to pull my self up, but I didn't have the strength needed in my left arm. I threw my sword onto the deck, so I could pull my self up. And when I got up I feel to one knee, still tired from keeping the ship in one piece.

I looked over at Clarissa to see she was still unconscious and saw that the tentacle was about to swing at her again. I tried to stand up, but when I tried to walk over to her I tripped and feel. The tentacle came down at an angle from the side and smacked Clarissa's unconscious body off the ship into the depths of the sea, not even the sea, something worse than my father's domain, a placed just as bad as the real one, but with even worse storm, with even more furious creature, and angry waters.

I watch in horror as my friend was launch into the depths of the unknown, and I could do anything. The son of the sea god could save his friend from drowning, from a creature of the sea's. I was to weak. I couldn't protect my mother, I couldn't protect Cla... her. It was my fault she was now sinking to the bottom of the cold and ferocious water. The tentacles were now sinking back into the seas, preparing for its meal.

I stood up, a little to quickly as the world was spinning, and it didn't help that the storm was still raging on around me. I hobbled over to the front railing and gripped one hand on to the railing and one on the grip of my sword.

I looked into the water knowing my friend was in there some where and there was nothing I could do. I held my sword in front of me and looked at it's design. The elegant waves on the bluish silver seemed to be alive and moving, as the Greek writing on it look like it was written in the air. Making the sword look like a picture of the raging seas as the wind blows in the background.

I looked at the Greek name of my sword and was lost in it. Deep in thought as the lines started to glow a bright and brilliant sea green light. And it almost felt like the sword was trying to talk to me, trying to tell me it's name and what it was like I already didn't know.

Everything began to vanish from existence as I focused on the sword, nothing seemed to matter, everything just faded to the background. Not the storm, the waves that were hitting me in the chest, not the impending deaths of everyone on the ship, not my anger and sadness, not even the death of Clarissa seemed to matter any more as I focused on the sword and it began to speak to me.

Hello, my name is Anaklusmos. It is good to finally speak to you master, but unfortunately now is not the time to talk, but to listen. I am Anaklusmos, I am Riptide, I am the tide that takes people by surprise. I am a sword, I am a trident, I am a staff, I am a broadsword, I am a weapon and a tool, a destroyer and a creator, a protector and a killer. I am birthed from Mt. Etna and the River Lethe. Servant of Pliocene, protectress of sailing. Servant of Zoe Nightshade. Servant of Hercules, God of strength and endurance. And servant to many others. And now servant to Perseus Jackson. And I see greet things in your future young demigod. You will be my strongest wielder, no, the strongest demigod to live. You are very strong, but with out the knowledge to control that power it means nothing. You need both knowledge and power. And I will help you.

The light of the sword then began to grow brighter and brighter until it faded and it show me different things. It showed me all it's wielders. All of their techniques. All the different powers. All the different forms it has taken. And every where it has been and everything it has ever done, seen, and learned, in mere seconds.

And then there was nothing. the light on the sword was gone, it wasn't talking anymore. The images where gone nothing. I stood there will I processed everything. All the different things that the blade just taught me. All the things it could do, could become, and the best way to use it. As well as many more things. All the different people and creatures it fought and how to beat them. Different places and cultures that it has seen over the millennia, and thousands of other things that I still had to process.

As I started to processed all these everything came back to me. I started to register my surroundings and the storm. My sadness and anger from the death of Clarissa. And it all came back to me. I gripped the the sword and held it up into the air. Pushing my power into it and amplifying it making the sword glow it's brilliant sea green light.

I released all my power and anger into my sword as I stared into the sky and focused on the storm and waves once again trying to control it.

" I AM PERSEUS JACKSON, WIELDER OF ANAKLUSMOS. SON OF SALLY JACKSON AND POSEIDON, GOD OF THE SEAS, THE EARTH SHAKER, THE STORM BRINGER, AND YOU WILL SUBMIT TO MY WILL!"

I scream into the skies as power came of me and waves pushing back the angry clouds and raging waves, until there was nothing. Not a single cloud in sight, nor wave. Not even a fish was seen. I collapsed to my knees as I took giant breaths and was now drench in sweet. And as my eye lids where sealing for my rightfully earned rest, I saw an Island in the distance.

'We made Clarissa. I'll finish this quest for you. I'll keep Chris and Anthony safe for you. Don't worry.' I thought to Clarissa as my awareness slipped through my hands.
