Kira-

It wasn't long till I came to the border of the forest. Vines and creepers were entwined around and strangling several trees. It looked creepy, but it was also more inviting than the rest of the camp. I took a hesitant step into the forest. I knew that eventually I would come to the border of the camp. That was my target. I walked through the forest farther, farther, and farther still, until I was standing in front of a mountain. And there was the border of the camp. I remembered that someone had mentioned that the weather in camp half-blood. About a foot in front of me was an invisible wall, on one side was rain, buckets and buckets of rain while on the side that I was standing on was nothing but sunshine. I was certain that I had reached the camp border.

I stepped forward and with a feeling of determination I stuck my hand through the border. I felt an electric shock pass through my body. Oh god, I thought, here I go again. There was that familiar feeling of dizziness, a flash, and I was in a different time entirely. And upon reflection I was in a different place. I was in what looked like an abyss. It was dark, musty, and smelled like mothballs. I also seemed to be standing on air. I panicked, letting out a scream of terror; I could feel the walls closing in around me. I am not claustrophobic, but this was different, I was experiencing pure terror. And then this chuckling started to bounce up from the walls from far below.

"Do not fear little savior. There is nothing here that will harm you."

The voice was like a million grating knifes. It seemed to have a power of its own and I could feel all my hairs standing up on end. But deep inside that voice, if I wasn't mistaken, was a touch of tenderness. The owner of the mysterious voice, however, was not to be seen.

"Do not worry, little hero. I will not keep you here. I only wish to show you the truth."

And as those words bounced around the walls of the abyss a shimmer of light appeared at my right and continued to gain form until a fully shaped, well I wasn't sure what to call it, came into shape. It was about a head taller than me and seemed to shimmer sort of bronze-orangish and then we change to silvery steel colored. Its eyes shone bright gold and it seemed to be emanating power. I turned those bright gold eyes towards me and with a shock I realized that they were the color that my eyes had turned when Artemis's hunters had hunted me.

"Who are you?"

"I am the lord of time, Kronos. I am the titan ruler, but was cast into the abyss of Tartarus because I was a threat to the gods of Olympus."

I cringed in fear. The titan lord or whatever he was seemed to notice and a look of sadness crossed over his face.

"I would never hurt you," He said, "I simply brought you here to warn you. The gods are the results of the dreams of men, but the titans are not. We have no love for mortals for we were never meant to exist among or around them. It is our nature and since our nature is the driving force that has kept us around for eons we have no desire to destroy it. We are not evil. We do what we think is right and unfortunately for us the gods disagree with our opinion of right and wrong. Although they are not entirely angels themselves."

"If you brought me hear to warn me then why are you telling me all this about the titans? Wouldn't it just be easier to send me a message instead of bringing me to the terrible, cold, scary place?"

"Because I wanted to meet you, and you need help."

"Help from what? I have never needed help. Not even after my mother died. Aren't I safe at camp half-blood?"

"Whether you are safe at camp half-blood has yet to be determined, but I promise you that you will need my help. You are extremely powerful. Power comes with consequences and opportunity. I have brought you here to try to help you control that power. Trust me."

The last two words came out as a plea. I had a feeling that the titan was struggling with a lot more emotions than he cared to show. I raised my eyebrows quizzically.

"If you wished to help me control this "power" or whatever you call it then why did you not choose to help me early when I really needed it?"

"Because I do not understand the concept of early. I am the lord of time; I exist in every time frame no matter how short or long it is. Time has no speed for me. I control time. You control time."

I snorted, "Yeah right!"

"I am the only who can help you control your power. I am the only one who understands your power."

I strange thought occurred to me, "Why do I have the same power as you?"

The titan lord looked down, instantly making the whole situation very awkward. He hesitated for a second then turned his head up, almost as if he was trying to see the top of the endless abyss. Then he nodded his head as if he had, had an argument within his self and it had finally been resolved.

"I am your father." Exclaimed Kronos. And after along pause he spoke again, "I am sorry. I have given you a great burden and maybe a death warrant."

He looked away distractedly, "We don't have much time left. I must warn you that people in camp half-blood must not find out about your heritage. Do not use your powers or drop any hints. If they find out whom you then they will try to kill you. I can't let that happen. Be brave little hero, I will send help soon."

Then everything shattered and I was lying on the ground exactly on the border of the camp.

I groaned. I felt like an age old, dirty, stiff mummy. Everything was quiet. The sun had nearly disappeared over the horizon, but no animals stirred, no birds chirped, and no breeze stirred. Something was very wrong and very right at the same time. Then it struck me, there was no shadows being cast by the trees and the watch on my wrist was whirring angrily as its hands spun around so quickly they could barely be seen. I was between time.

It's a strange thing being between time. It makes you feel totally disconnected from everything and you feel sort of helpless. The only problem was that I wasn't sure whether it was me who was making time act this way or if it was Kronos trying to mess with me. I go the same feeling here that I had got when Artemis was daring me to cross the border of the camp. This was a test. But the only problem was, was the fact that I had no idea what I was supposed to do. I mean, why hadn't Kronos said, "Oh yeah, and to control time you have to do a, b, and c." or something like that. I wandered around absently hoping that the answer would just come to me and I wouldn't have to think about anything. I wasn't fortunate enough for that to happen.

I waited about five more minutes before I gave up. I sat down and lent my back on a tree in frustration. Why on earth did this have to happen to me? I never asked for this. I never wanted the stupid lord of time to be my father. I leapt to my feet. "It's not my fault!" I yelled to the heaven, "Is this some sort of punishment? I never did anything! I haven't hurt anyone or done anything against you! Leave me alone!" I put all the anger that had built up inside me ever since I had been thrown into this mess. There was a flash of brilliant gold and I was thrown backwards into darkness.
