Long time no see old friends, I'm sorry for my absence from the world of FF. Today I strive to make up from my lack of absence by giving you a new improved chapter of Child of Time. Enjoy
I could hear the sound of wind and a very not happy drakon in my ears as I fell down a deep abyss, as I looked around I saw nothing but the pitch black staring back at me. There was a blur as a piece of debris flew past me, nearly taking my head off. I rotated upward, to where I was facing the surface and saw tens,cut not hundreds of pieces of rubble falling from the surface and our old friend the drakon or as I like to call him, Draky.
I flipped back over and I could now see the bottom in sight, edging closer and closer. "Well, how am I going to myself out of this one."
On Othrys
"Rhea dear,wake up." I heard the sound of my husband Kronos speaking to me. I let put a groan of pain, " what happened to my head?" To say the least, it felt like my brain was thrown into the River Styx than chopped up with Kronos's scythe. "Well, you attacked a few council members and almost killed Atlas and Hyperion, I had to stop you, even if it was too much force, as you can tell by your monumental headache." I tried to move around and felt myself bound, I looked down and saw I was encased in celestial bronze chains. I turned my head and saw every Titan on the council was here. I started to feel a sinking feeling in my stomach, certainly the odds weren't in my favor.
Kronos stood up and walked away from, growing to his full height as he sat on his throne in the center of the room. "Obviously I have called you here today to discuss an very important matter, the imprisonment of one of our own…" The charges stand as attempted murder of Titans and murder of a minor Titan." My eyes widen, I definitely did not remember killing anyone. The room darkened and the holographic screen one appeared again, only it was me murdering a minor Titan by stomping its head in. "For Perseus, for Zeus" was all that could be barley heard as the the sound of brain being squashed overlapped anything. " I think that's enough evidence as the screen slowly disappeared. Silence followed as the words uttered echoed off the chamber walls. Shocked glances were shared between each Titan. Suddenly the room burst into chaos muttering and murmuring from ear to ear. Before Kronos's face literally turned red. " That is enough!" A shockwave was pushed throughout the room as he slammed the butt of his scythe on the ground. " For the crimes committed, Rhea shall be frozen in Tartarus for an eternity." Widened eyes were saw on the council.
" The vote shall now commence." Around the room I saw hands go up one by one, some did not, the standing vote was 5-5, only Kronos did not raise his hand yet, all eyes were on him. He looked directly at me, golden eyes and all, but I noticed they were glazed over, almost as if he was… I suddenly lost my thought as my name was called. "Rhea!" "As my wife and the first to join me in our past revolution against the primordials, I hold love for you like no other." But you are a criminal, and must be made an example of." I felt my eyes start to water, framed for a murder I didn't commit and condemned by my husband. I officially reached a new low in life. Kronos had a tear running down his face as he raised his hand. "I sorry love, but I have too." A golden energy ball appeared above me, "so this is it, this is how it ends?" I looked around the room Prometheus and Hyperion had smirks on their faces, I looked at them defiantly, trying to hold back my tears, I managed to choke out a few words. "You will all rue this day, I swear it on the River Styx", faces went pale immediately in the room. As I closed my eyes and let darkness consume me, as I heard thunder boom overhead.
Percy POV
I automatically got a feeling something just went very wrong, and I had a instinct it was something to do with mother. I shook it off, as I had to deal with the task at hand. I was currently falling to my death, with a Drakon above me and hundreds of deadly rocks falling around me. I heard a large roar as I was face to face with our old friend.
I quickly drew my sword and pierced it in its only other good eye officially rendering it blind, and oh it did like that at all. It tried biting at me blindly but I mangled to keep dodging, as it moved its head I saw a chink in its armor and swiped at it, acidic blood spraying everywhere, some got on me and it did not feel good at all. I climbed on top of it and braced for impact as we smacked into the ground, the carcass of the Drakon breaking my fall.
The world was blurry for a moment as I stood up. Suddenly I could hear the rushing of footsteps around me as I was surrounded by dozens of skeletons on all sides pointing bows and arrows at me, tipped in an unfamiliar dark colored metal. "Well shit" I said, "out of the pan and into the fire." As I looked around, I could tell I was in some sort of maze of sort. " Can anyone if you bone heads tell me what this is?" "It's a labyrinth of course" I heard a familiar condescending voice call out.
The skeletons parted and I came face to face with my annoying brother and lord of the dead, Hades certainly just got very interesting. " Yeah asshole I can see that" I replied back mocking his tone ,"but what is it for?" For the first time in my life Hades sent a chill down my spine, as he gave me a razor sharp glare, complimentary with a smirk to match. "For the revolution of course" he said, giving me a shit eating grin.
That's it for this chapter folks, I hoped you enjoyed my improved writing. Hopefully the next chapter won't have a 3+ year delay. Peace out. Stay frosty
