Chapter 6
Dimitri POV
I had wandered the forest for days; I didn't have any where to go. I couldn't go back to camp. The campers would probably run away screaming when they see me.
I was looking at my reflection in a lake; my eyes seemed to grow brighter by the second.
"Hello my son" I turned around and saw a man that bore a striking resemblance to Percy.
I jumped "Who are you?" I asked coldly. My voice was still a mixture of a million tormented souls speaking at once.
"Calm down my boy, I am your father" He said with a smile.
I scanned him from top to bottom; I could see all the bad things he had done.
"Then where did I get this from" I said gesturing to my body.
"My son, you got your form from your mother, she was the daughter of a god who faded a long time ago. He wasn't very popular, only Uranus, Gaia, the titans and my brothers and I knew of his existence. He was Punizione (a/n He doesn't really exist in Greek mythology, I made him up), god of sin and punishment and torturer of damned souls, sprung from chaos like Uranus and Gaia. Part of his essence was used to create the fields of punishments and he was its master. He had only one daughter, your mother. She was a demigod and she didn't age while she lived in his kingdom. She took his place as torturer of damned souls., and now the mantle rests upon your shoulders"
'So I have to go there? " I asked referring to the fields of punishment. He shook his head.
"You are free to return to camp half blood in you want."
"So how do I revert back to human form? I'm not stuck like this am I?"
"No my son, all you have to do is concentrate on your human form. Good luck" Then he vanished leaving the scent of sea breeze.
