Percy PoV
I woke up the next morning very rested and looked around my room. No strange Gods or goddesses, gifts, or anything else that could be considered a surprise. I went over to my door and summoned my scythe. I walked down to the training area and started hacking away at the training dummies. I swung away over and over at the dummies.
I grew unsatisfied with this training, and walked over to the wall and pressed a button. It was labeled 'advanced dummies' the floor opened up and all of the original dummies fell in. 10 robotic dummies fell out of the ceiling and began to activate. I smiled and rushed towards the first one. As I went to attack it, its eyes turned red and threw me away.
His right arm transformed into a sword and a shield grew onto his left arm. It raised the shield in a defensive positon and stood its ground. I approached him slowly and once in range, used my scythe to slash at his shield. I knocked the shield from his arm and swiped and his right arm. The robot's eyes widened and it issued a remote command to all the other robots in the room. "All Training bots, activate and attack target. Sending target info…Target 'Devil'…" All the bot's eyes opened and turned red as they equipped their weapons and charged me.
I did a full 360-degree spin and hit every bot in my vicinity. I spun my scythe and it transformed into my sword. I sliced and hacked at the bots, sparks flying out of them. I watched as the gem in my hilt glowed brighter and brighter until shining like I had just polished it. I laid my finger on the gem and screamed Είμαι ο διάβολος and raise my sword towards the sky. The gem glowed even brighter and darkness poured out of me, destroying all the bots. Wow Percy, it's like you still hold my curse I heard in the back of my mind. I grinned and sheathed my sword.
This power… it was so…strong. My grin got even wider and the cogs in my mind began to spin. This power…I could get revenge on those retched Olympians. I began to laugh harder and harder and I felt my power pulse. I heard a small voice in the back of my head, telling me to stop, but why would I listen to somebody who wants me to be weak? I shoved further back into my head and began to use my powers to their fullest. "YES!" My voice boomed.
"Perseus stop!" A voice called from behind me. "PERCY IS GONE! . DEVIL!" I screamed, laughing hard. "You are becoming a demon Percy! You are letting the power of death take over your mind and body! Resist!" The voice continued to call out. I shook my head, I will not listen to this man. He sighed. "Well, looks like I have no choice. Θα ανακαλέσει δύναμη σου!" He screamed. Slowly, I felt my power drain out of my body into his outstretched hand. I collapsed, and the world went black around me.
-Time Skip-
I woke up, this time chained to a bed, in somewhere I have never been. It was dark, and I saw no way out. No door, no windows, no nothing. Simply, dark. Suddenly, a hatch opened in the roof. "So you're finally up" A recognizable voice called. "Lord Thanatos? Where am I?" I questioned. I was his champion, why was I chained up? "Percy, what have you become? I thought you were strong-minded, not a fool who hunts power." I scowled. What was he talking about? "Mi'lord what are you talking about? I was just training and I blacked out!"
Thanatos sighed "Percy, you began your transformation into a demon." My jaw dropped. I would never do that! "Percy, if you are to be my champion, you must learn to resist the temptations of death. While your water powers could tempt you, the power of death appeals to all mortals. Some more to others, but your entire race is prone to this temptation. With training, you can resist the temptation and properly control your power."
I bowed my head. Could I have become a demon? I must take this training. So I can become the true champion of Thanatos.
Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! This one isn't as long, I was a bit busy today.
