A/N- BIG thanks to all of you who reviewed. Ok so here goes chapter three.
Disclaimer- Do I really have to do this every chapter… Ok fine… I own nothing… all rights go to Rick Riordan
Percy pov
~The voice came back, "Percy Jackson, you have nothing left to return to, everyone hates you. Come with me and you could move on from your past, I will make you ten times the hero you once were, you could have a fresh start."~
It's strange… I really don't want to believe what she was saying is true, and something inside me was telling me not to. And yet I agreed. Why? I don't know.
As much as I didn't want to believe it everything that I saw, where everyone hates me feels true even though my mind was telling me otherwise.
I am quickly shot out of my thoughts when a figure comes out of nowhere standing right in front of me. "Good " she responded, but it sounded as though she expected me to agree. Before I could think the words slip out of my mouth, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
Her soothing voice responded "Me, I am the night. And I don't want anything from you. Is it wrong to simply want to help the hero of Olympus escape his crumbling life? With me, you will be respected and everyone would remain loyal unlike your friends down at that camp. Most of all you will gain powers beyond that of the gods."
Something was pulling me towards her forcing me to agree with and follow everything she said. The worst part is that I didn't even fight it, I am hurt, heartbroken and there is nothing to hold me back. No will left to refuse.
As if reading my thoughts a smile crossed her lips, the only part of her that I could see under her long black silk cloak. Wait…I can see… with that I looked around noticing that I could see myself as well as the cloaked figure standing before me, but everything else was black, there didn't even seem to be a floor we were just sort of there….
"You like it? This is my domain the void of night. No sign of day ever reaches this place. This is where I will teach you, to prepare you for your new life. Soon Perseus, you may even become more powerful than all the gods may and titans put together. Be prepared because you training starts now…" and she disappeared!
Next thing I know I am being charged at by another hooded figure.
Unknown pov (have ya figured it out yet)
I watched as his face changed from that of confusion to shock. "Do not kill them Perseus when they are defeated they will disappear and I will send out the next ones, after all you wouldn't want to destroy your army they wouldn't have the same respect when you then."As soon as I finished he shot back, "and how am I supposed to defeat them I don't have my sword or anything for that matter!"
"Ah but see it would be too easy with weapons, you have powers Perseus, powers you need to understand-"cutting me off while dogging the attacks he shouted "powers! I can control water. As far as I can see there is no water here!"
"And there you are both right and wrong. Yes, you do have power over water. In addition, you are breathing. Know the elements of your surroundings, yourself and your opponent and there is no way you could lose. As for powers you can control much more than water…"
Percy pov
What does she mean by that? Why does everything have to be in riddles?
I'm snapped out of my thoughts as I doge another swing of my opponents sword. It's obvious that there is no way I'm going to win if I don't figure out what she meant by understand the elements. Did she mean that there is water here?
Then it came to me… there is water in the air as well as in the opponent…
With that, I concentrated feeling the water molecules all around. They filled me with power. After that, I am not truly sure what happened, instincts took over as I stepped away from my opponent and lifted my hand t my neck as if about to slice my own head off with a sword. To my astonishment, the figure in front of me mirrored my moves and lost to his own sword in his own hand.
It felt wrong, doing that, it felt unfair for the opponent but I had no other ideas. As soon as he vanished, the cloaked woman stood in front of me once again. "Congratulations Perseus you have figured that out much faster than I thought you would. Nevertheless, remember this is only the start. There is so much more you are capable of with my blessing. In time, you will help me by leading my armies and together we will bring the gods to their senses. Until tomorrow you must rest and we will continue your training remember it will only get harder as time goes on."
Thousands of questions raced through my mind but before I could come to ask any, I fell and everything went black…
