Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson only Liam Jackson

Liam's POV

I had a vivid dream that night. It involved a creature beyond my normal nightmares. I didn't know my imagination could be so wild. I could hear its whispers echoing, bouncing of the walls and reaching my ears. The ground shook. Laughter came from somewhere under the earth, and a voice so deep and evil it turned my blood to ice.

"A pathetic excuse for a creation of the gods! They really think you can defeat me! Ha! Even when both you and Percy stand strong, you are not a match for me!" he mocked me. It was infuriating how in my 'dream', I seemed to be defenceless and weak.

In my dream, I stood in a dark cavern before a gaping pit. Grey mist creatures churned all around me, whispering rags of smoke that I somehow knew were the spirits of the dead. They tugged at my clothes, trying to pull me back, but I felt compelled to walk forward to the very edge of the chasm. Lookingdown made me feel dizzy. The pit yawned so wide and was so completely black; I knew it must be bottomless. Yet I had a feeling that something was trying to rise from the abyss, something huge and evil. The sand split beneath me, opening up a crevice straight down to the centre of the Earth. My feet slipped, and darkness swallowed me. I woke up sure I was falling.

"Ahhh!" I screamed and my covers flew off in panic. I could vaguely here someone shouting my name but I was still half in the nightmare...blackness everywhere! It felt too real. Someone was shaking my by the shoulders trying to bring me back to Earth at regular intervals like they couldn't touch me. My eyes were round with fear, watering slightly.

"Liam...Come on snap out of it!" Percy cried desperately. I recognised that voice, it was like my own and I knew who it was instantly. I blinked a few times and finally came back to my senses and became aware of my surroundings yet my vision was blurred. I was covered in sweat yet cold and shivering. I felt Percy gently feel my head to check my temperature and I could just make out the blue wispy stuff emerging, I knew he had to let go. He returned to his bed and watched me with concern. I continued blinking until my vision cleared.

"I...er..." I stuttered,

"Nightmare?" He correctly guessed. I nodded,

"It happens a lot to demigods, normally shows truth however unlikely" he explained. I gulped nervously and shook my head.

"Then you're not gonna be happy if I say that Kronos is awakening...he's happy, amused even. The spirits of the dead are afraid...he's rising from the abyss..."I broke off. Unsure how the name Kronos had just come to me. Percy's eyes rounded.

"What?..." he gasped discombobulated.

"He... also called us the Gods creation against him" I stuttered. Percy searched my eyes my sea green eyes and blinked in confusion and shock.

"How would that be possible?" I gasped.

"Neither of us know who are moms are?, Poseidon claimed us but as a god himself ..." he broke off suddenly realising the possibility of the unknown truth.

"We could be a creation from the Gods, created to one day..." then he shrugged and looked at me for answers. I carried on his sentence for him

"To one day defeat KRONOS! The deciding factors of Olympus' survival". We had both heard the prophecy earlier and now it made perfect sense.

We both stared at each other realising that our choices would make all the difference! The fate of Olympus rested on our shoulders.

Annabeth had left on her quest and we both had nothing to do. My knees felt like jelly still.

"Come on Liam. It's unhealthy to do nothing. Let's go train by the beach!" he insisted. It wasn't a particularly good idea. It was beginning to rain and I could see many thunder clouds but… I had nothing better to do.
Percy kept gazing up at the sky, his face looking deathly pale in the flashes of lightning which were becoming more frequent, panicked even.

"It never rains here Liam. The Gods don't allow it" he murmured.

"Then why…" I trailed off. Something was wrong. I thought about scrambling inside but we were here. We might as well fight.

We took our positions on the beach, our ballpoint pens in our hands, waiting to be clicked. Percy then attacked and with a yelp I dodged. I spun round to face him with my murderous stare, he laughed and we kept going. My senses opened up. I saw his attacks coming. I stepped forward and tried a thrust of my own. Percy deflected it but I saw a change in his face, concentration. I started to press him with more force and I know he knew it was only a couple of seconds before I took him down. Percy surprised me and tried the disarming manoeuvre ! What the heck? I thought. His blade hit the base of mine and he twisted, putting all his weight into a downward thrust.

Clang!

My sword landed softly on the sand. The tip of Percy's blade now a couple of centimetres from my undefended chest.

I should have seen this coming I internally groaned. I had never got the hang of the disarming manoeuvre, one of the many Annabeth tried to drone into my thick skull!
We had been fighting for 15 minutes and the weather had not improved. My hands were cold and shaking so bad I almost dropped the sword. Percy's hands also seemed to be trembling as well. I had won every round but one and Percy gave me his deluxe I'll-kill-you-later stare before walking back to our cabin slowly, I followed him eager to get out of the rain. Panting heavily, we ran back to our cabin. I remember the first time I got this pen. Feels like such a long time ago now. Jack had given it to me. I thought he was joking at the time, it was a birthday present. He had looked straight into my eyes and said,

"Take this to defend yourself. It's a powerful weapon. Guard it well. Only call upon it in times of severe distress". I thought he had a few too many drinks at my party and I tossed it somewhere in my room without a second thought. I remember thinking,

"This is a pen. This is a pen! Are you crazy what do you want me to do with this, man?" It had only just begun to make sense now although I really want to know where he got it from. I'll ask him later.

A few moments later we were under the dryness of our cabin. It was surprisingly tidy on Percy's side, mine was a mess!

"What are we gonna do if someone asks us about the prophecy. Are we actually gonna say that we think we were created by the Gods to defeat Kronos!" Percy suddenly mumbled at me."No! We can't tell them!" I hushed. Percy nodded and let out a breath of relief.

"What's that?" I questioned as I saw a small lightning bolt or what looked like one.

"Zeus's master bolt! How... did it get here?" Percy cried as he ran to pick it up. I turned my head hastily to the window and realised the lightning had disappeared. Only thunder clouds remained. I quickly pulled the drape shut in one sharp movement. Nobody could see this.

I turned to face him, speechless and Percy's face was an exact mirror.

"Zeus...must be missing this..." I started."No kidding" Percy replied sarcastically to try and ease up on the seriousness of this conversation, it didn't really work.
I bit my lip so hard it nearly drew blood.

"There's only one thing to do" I added hastily.

"What?" he replied.

"Return to bolt to Zeus at the start of our quest. No one needs to know!" I cried happily. This could work.

"Genius!" Percy cried happily and we gave a quick high five.
DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG...

"What does that mean? Perce" I asked questioningly.

"Chiron is calling a meeting...quick hide the bolt in our shield" he hushed. Some campers were starting to run past so I had to be quick. I grabbed our shield and stuffed the lightning bolt in it. It seemed to magically shrink, crackling and blazing with power. I replaced the handle and looked at it. You couldn't tell.

"Right then, let's go" I blurted. I grabbed the shield and followed Percy out of the door.
