Third Person Pov:
In broad daylight above the earth where birds are chirping, animals are running over sparsely populated wild areas that are left by human settlement. The rivers are either polluted due to human intervention making nymphs blind or sick due to inhuman acts of humans or clean rivers running from the mountain top.
But on the opposite side, a Person broke down the gate binding him to the cells designed for Prisoners. The Person bares chested carrying Tridents of Telekhine who came across him or the Axe he picked up from the table beside him. In front of him, a wasteland lays stretching vast in every direction from where he could see red sulfurous clouds and jagged surfaces filled with spikes and the air ran dry with a mixture that will bring slow and torturous death to anyone who came across the plains of Tartarus.
Percy Pov:
Where I should move to now? I don't know anything about this place. The best decision will be to find any of the rivers of the underworld mainly Phelgethon I don't have any wish to go in the river of hate or agony or lose my memory now I am no son of the sea. I was fortunate not to lose my memory in the river when I plunged into titan Iapetus who is a grandfather to Zoe.
I started to walk forward with quick steps avoiding any spike erupting from the surface. I now hold the domain of life. I am Powerless here if a battle occurs now I will be killed I might add brutally and me having the domain of life I will not die even though I am not immortal even then means endless torture will be procured on me by titans and monsters who I face earlier in either of my life. And my grandfather will find obsolete pleasure while torturing me. Now I will look like a burning lantern in the darkness due to my domain. like a moth moving towards a lamp at night monster will des end on me. Thus it will make me a target for the monsters here. I have to find a way to exit this place of damnation. I don't even know what kind of monster Tartarus breeds. I am hoping that it will not breed a new type of monster the old ones are already enough to face.
After walking for I don't know how many miles a sudden jolt of pain erupted from my abdomen like it was melting like that boiling lava then rapidly cooling then again started to get hot in a continuous way. A bile started to rise from my abdomen into my mouth. Which I could not contain. Slowly the bile which rises from my stomach gurgled out with a strangled cry from my mouth and blood started to leak from my every orifice whether it was my eye, ear, or nose. Soon the blood stepped leaking and I plopped down on the rocky surface and rolled over in the air to prevent any pointed rock from gutting me while falling.
I plopped on the washed surface of Tartarus with a thud raising some soot present all over the surface of Tartarus with some shards of glass embedded in my skin. Sweat covered my entire body with soot. My bones were dead tired how? and aching nothing. I don't know how suddenly a searing pain erupted in my forebrain like someone was stabbing me there with a spear rapidly. The pain soon increase to a new height and became unbearable. I place my hand covering the brain to soothe my brain somehow. Like it was a natural reaction but nothing happened. I don't when an estranged cry erupted from my hand-covered mouth it was like my vocal cords burst apart in process of crying and my mouth was filled with blood. soon my entire body was engulfed in a series of pain that slowly became unbearable like my body is breaking and then joining from the very core.
Slowly the pain recedes after a few moments. I was in no condition to move but if it don't move to know something will find me to kill and I don't want it to titan if anyone can catch me. Why does my domain of life fluctuate such? I immediately get answered as my bones were dense than ever as well as bigger as compared to the moment earlier. My muscles were dense and healthy as compared to prior. In my mind knowledge of Craft and Sorcery filled automatically. like a movie is shown inside my mind. I could feel my connection to the sea has returned but it is very weak as compared to the prior like a drop in ocean.
I finally concluded that when I absorb the energy of telekhine and cyclops I also absorbed their life force and skills to some extent. When I change just now was when my body assimilated the life force into me making me most vulnerable. Slowly my body is covered with a pale yellow aura healing everything inside and outside of my body. I don't want to go through it again. Though the torture Titans put me through will increase my resistance but it doesn't feel anything near the pain I have experienced right now. I slowly picked up the glass and removed it from my torso. Every piece sent pain in my spine. It was like a shock of poison running through my body
With the help of my trembling hand, I grabbed my Trident in my hand. I could feel the land shaking slightly meaning Tartarus is moving or someone is coming near me neither is favourable for me. I use Tridents on both hands as crutches stand while the glow remains on my body repairing the damaged body parts.
I could hear a roar that sounded not far from where I was standing and the roar made the surface of Tartarus tumble as well as the air became more turbulent like a desert fan is open and it's the fan is towards me. The roar is from a powerful beast otherwise the surface of Tartarus will not tremble or the air became turbulent around me. Meaning it knows I am here and I coming in this direction.
In the condition present in Tartarus could only feel an outline of something flying towards me. And is very big grab the Trident in either of my hand and waited for the creature to arrive in my target zone where I could nail it by throwing one or both the Tridents. My mind was running in overdrive I could feel the speed of the creature to be around nine hundred to a thousand km per hour may be more I am not sure. But the minimum is around nine-hundred to thousand which I could confirm meaning it is travelling along the speed of sound. meaning who can do that? there are very few who can and I don't want to face any of those in my condition.
As the creature neared me I could see its crocodile-like jaw with upper limbs and reptile-like body with massive leathery wings. Dragon? and it's almost a hundred meters in length and two to three-hundred meters in width including the wingspan. With black scales lined up on its skin which will provide armour for its body. I lifted my left Trident and gripped it tightly I could see some hairline fractures appearing on the plate where I grab the Trident and channelled some lightning in it which I absorbed in the cell and throw towards the dragon's head with all my strength that will not dislocate my shoulder while my body is rapidly recuperating from the development to my body. I know I kinda went overboard with the strength. Before my strength was almost 7 to 9 more than an average human when I was at my peak at the battle of Manhattan but now with the added strength I could have absorbed from cyclops drastically increase my muscle strength.
The Trident moved through the air like a jet-breaking sound barrier. The cracks in the handle slowly increased due to the force and Pressure it exerted on the Trident and are running all across the handle with the arc of lighting releasing from the Trident head. looks like my eye's got upgraded to I could see it. The Dragon faltered for a second seeing something coming its the way in speed. but the momentum carried for the Dragon and the Trident embedded pierced the skull of the dragon and broke into a tiny little piece the wing moment of the dragon slowly halted. but the inertia generated from the momentum continued and the dragon came bawling towards me I hooked the Trident on my back and started running in the opposite direction so that I don't become a pancake from the falling dragon.
The dragon landed at the place where I was standing and continued to slide even to the surface. I turn around again and jumped onto the dragon. why? Because I know I could not stop the dragon no matter how much strength I have with the momentum and inertia the dragon generated while flying towards me. I settle down on the Dragon and placed my hand on his head and started siphoning the dragon's energy and life force. I know I was going in a lot of pain some minutes before now I am doing it again why? because it is a golden opportunity why waste it? and I will need everything at my disposal to deal with the Titans.
I continued siphoning the life force these creatures were children of Ouranus just like Drakons are children of Gaia. Both of them are very dangerous to face in battle. I don't know who said Drakon is more powerful than Dragons.? Oh, I remembered I heard it from Annabeth Chase daughter of Wisdom Goddess Athena herself both mother and Daughter are the same. for their glory, they killed those who take them from Zero to Hero. Athena Killed my Neice Pallas and Annabeth Sacrificed me to save the Traitor she love.
I shook my rabbit hole and take a look at the Dragon the eyes were closed and the shards of the broken trident remained embedded in the skull. The Dragon remains completely still. Its skin is covered with very hard black scales with some gold underneath the surface. two pairs of hours erupted from his head and then slightly twist on either side the bigger and longer one at the back and the smaller pair in front of the bigger ones. teets in the front emerged from the mouth like that of a sabertooth tiger along with a long muscular tail.
I could still feel the essence of life inside the Dragon. Meaning it's still alive. My eye's widened as the Dragon opened his eye and swatted me with his tail towards an upturned rockI jammed my Tridents into the ground to halt my movement so that I could not be impaled with a wicked-looking rock. I look into the eyes of the dragon as the eye is a purple Iris that is like the cosmos with a black vertical pupil. and I immediately understand the plan he use for his hunt ' Show the Predator lost or harmless in front of prey and then attack with a bang' damn The Dragon has a brain better than anyone I have encountered before and he knows how to use anything in his arsenal.
I immediately plucked the Tridents with my hands and run towards the dragon The Dragon jutted a humongous stream of fire towards me. the power in the streams of fire is extraordinary as well as the concentration of fire in a straight line to increase the temperature. A great tactic but will fail under wide area coverage. I then jumped over the stream of fire and landed on its head and plunged it in both the eye's as deep as I could muster hoping it will reach the brain. The Dragon spasm vigorously with fumes diminishing from its mouth. both wings flutter vigorously like trying to fly The tail started wiggling like it wants to swat me in the Process again. Which stagger me quite a bit but when the tail wiped towards me I grabbed it from my right hand and placed my left hand over the body of the dragon trying to absorb the life force faster than ever before.
Doing so makes a burst of off-white light erupt from the dragon-like impulse throwing me off balance and then engulfed in my left hand then started covering my body then disappearing completely as my skin absorbed them like it did to water previously. Bu doing so my entire body was covered in a thick layer of sweat. This is taxing my body too much. Absorbing this much energy and life force this rapidly is like tearing my body apart from the very basic level of the cells. But I cannot move back now. After absorbing the energy and life force for about I think an hour the dragon went silent the flailing of wings seized with the tail hanging limp. the life force of the dragon completely diminished entirely.
The final burst stopped and like an impulse send me over 50 feet in the air then plummeted down to the surface I moved in the air so that I landed on the dragon's corpse, not the ground. I would like to land over the rough hide of a dragon instead of Tartarus thank you very much.
When I fell on the corpse it stung a little bit but not like Tartarus. I plopped down and Pulled the trident from the eye of the dragon. Both of them are covered with golden and green liquid. I guess dragon blood. I move in front and tilt my head while examining the body of the dragon as something coined in my mind I move back and grabbed my ave and chopped the horns of the dragon. I then move towards the front and lift the upper jaw of the dragon and grabbed the tooth that is jutted out of the mouth and pulled with all my might. The Tooth came out of the socket and I moved back with a jerk I proceed to remove the other tooth too.
I examined both of the teeth two meters in length. They were filled with fire magic at their core so make the fire extra strong or use them to shoot the flamethrower from his mouth. I can make swords with these I placed them at the side and opened my mouth. and examined the other tooths and their property. In front of the teet set is a mixture of Paralytic poison. to make the prey immobile while hunting or chewing them. The back of the tooth is a mixture of elementals( basically wind, water, fire, and land) but some f them is like nonexisting or not developed completely. I shook my head and plucked the remaining teeth. But I notice there is a need for a catalyst for these to work. Which means something is inside the dragon. I then closed the mouth and concentrated on its body and started to search for any trace of magic like the process entered my mind.
After some time I find a silent thrum of beating beside the dead heart. The beating is covered with magical origin. I remove my hand and placed my hand under the Dragon and turned his beside on his back and then cut open his diaphragm to see a beating purple heart beside the now silent one I plunged my heart into his lungs and grabbed it. The thrum of energy now started resonating differently. This is something else and I absorbed it into my body. The Heart burst open like a cracker but with purple power instead of an explosion and engulfed my chest.
A new ripple of scenes entered my mind showing how to use the now-absorbed power. Then I remembered I am in Tartarus and my grandfather is here. I turn around and I remembered a tattoo turning in my skin I concentrated on it trying to destroy the Tattoo and but the tattoo is done by a higher power was quite taxing. Slowly the Tattoo starts to fade. Leaving only a faint line on my skin. I jumped on the ground and started to mutter ancient greek language on my tongue. After chanting for thirty minutes the Tattoo was erased from my body leaving only my tired body with enough energy to run several marathons.
I again started chanting in ancient language a ripple erupted in front of me and I dumped the tooth of the dragon and the broken shards of the Trident in the ripple. The Ripple closed and I clicked my fingers twice a damaged pair of jeans with Nike sneakers and a hoodie appeared on my body while cleaning my body. I again started chanting to summon fire and engulfed the dragon in a blazing fire and muttered' To Poseidon, Hestia and Chaos' flame that engulfed the dragon burst out like a flaming inferno tower. I was also hoping the power surge will kill the Eidolon inside father. Soon the Dragon's body vanishes. While grabbing both the Tridents in my hands and looping the axe on my jeans, I again started running forward while chanting ancient language to make ripple around the land like a sonar a submarine and bats. After a few more minutes they returned to me and a map of Tartarus started to form in my mind.
