Hey guys!
Thank You for reading this. For a story called, Percy Jackson The Cursed, Percy isn't in it too much. Tell me your ideas, on whether or not I should change the title.
Roses are red, violets are blue, I do not own PJO and unless you are Rick Riordan, neither do you! I do own Theseus, Mark and Robert though.
Last Time:
"I deserve this! I gave my eye, so that I could have justice, but I never got it! But now I will, by killing you. I will receive the recognition I deserve, by killing one of the seven to defeat Gaea herself! Now, I will end your pitiful existence."
After he spoke those words, he raised his sword above his head, before quickly bringing it down, while Hazel screamed my name.
Now:
Poseidon's POV
Oceanus and I slammed into the sea floor with enough force to completely obliterate a skyscraper. A cloud of dust and ichor filled the air, as Oceanus and I hit the unforgiving earth, at the bottom of the dark sea.
After the dust settled, I groaned and attempted to rise to my knees, but my strength had left me and I soon fell back onto the ground. I could feel the water slowly healing me, so I lied on the earth, waiting for my element to heal me.
A couple of feet away, Oceanus was in the same predicament as me, as ichor continuously dribbled from his ruined body and completely smeared his mouth with his own immortal blood. When the water had healed me sufficiently, I rose to my knees and slowly extended my legs.
I stood at my full height and summoned the currents to do my bidding, but all I felt was searing pain flare throughout my body. I instantly crumpled to the ground, before calling forth my trident, the symbol of my power.
It flew to my hand at tremendous speed and it slammed into my palm, making a loud slapping sound. I felt power rush back into my body, as my trident gave me my emergency energy, which I had conveniently stored inside my weapon.
I strolled over to the ruined body of my adversary and quickly picked him up, before giving him a powerful uppercut, to his already misshapen face. He flew through the air and landed without a sound, as the water created a shield around him.
He stood to face me and I was shocked to see him wielding a dark blue sword, with wave designs along its length.
"All of the gods have their own symbol of power, their strongest weapon in battle. Did you think that I would not have my own weapon, capable of destroying all in my path? You are a fool, Poseidon. My wife, Tethys, will join me soon and then we will crush your pathetic army, like we would crush a can of soda."
"But you forget, Oceanus that I do not fight alone. I fight with my family, who will protect me and relish in destroying you."
"Oh but Poseidon, where are they now? Where is your so called, family? They left you to fight your own battle. Oh wait, they didn't leave you. My servants just sent them to Tartarus, the hard way. The long and dark ride to Tartarus is a long voyage indeed, which they are just figuring out."
"Did you think that only you could make direct tunnels to Tartarus? All of the immortals with power over water can make a tunnel to hell. You have lost. Your family is in Tartarus, hating you for not protecting them. You will die in despair and misery, as you lose your life, only to never reach Tartarus, to rejoin your family."
"That's right. The blood of Nyx coats my blade, giving me the power to sentence any being to the Void. I can destroy their soul, giving them no afterlife or chance of happiness. I will just give them an eternity of loneliness, despair and heartache, and as they waste away into insanity, they will try to kill themselves, but quickly find out that they can't leave the nightmare that is their reality."
"Now, enough chit chat. I came here for a duel and it is a duel I am going to get!" He brandished his sword above his head, before he let forth a booming battle cry and charged. I deflected his first swing, before rolling away from his second.
I darted to my feet and quickly stabbed at his chest. He deflected my trident and stabbed me in the leg, before ripping it out and preforming an extremely fast swing to my head. I ducked underneath his killing blow and smacked my trident into his face, sending him sprawling.
I limped to my ichor covered enemy and stabbed downwards, only to be propelled into the air by Oceanus' godly energy. I landed softly on the ocean floor and healed myself, with my element, before I rushed back into the fray.
I feinted right, before quickly attacking Oceanus' left side. He ducked underneath my strike, before he retaliated with a wave of ice daggers. I growled, when one of the daggers punctured my arm, but I quickly melted the other daggers and used the dagger in my arm to heal the wound, that it had made.
I bounded to Oceanus and brought my trident towards his face in a deadly arc. He made the water push me backwards, before he froze me inside a ball of ice, before he started to boil the inside of the ball. He was doing the same thing I did to him. That little copy cat!
I vapor-traveled out of the ball and stabbed him in the back, only to be stabbed in the back. What? The person in front of me crumbled to the ground and I felt the ice making of the almost life like statue. I turned around to see Oceanus' grinning face, because he thought he had beaten me.
He must be an idiot. I am immortal! I pulled the sword out of my body and I went pale, as I saw crimson blood gushing out of my chest. Oceanus' smile grew, as he noticed my pale face.
"I told you. My blade has the ability to destroy immortals! And now, I will have the honor, of killing you! Then my wife and I will become the rightful ruler of the seas!" He gloated at me, as I stumbled backwards in shock, at the news I had just learned.
I summoned water to heal me, but I felt my head spin, as extreme dizziness overcame me. I fell to the ground and as I lied on the ground, I came to the conclusion that the water was no longer healing me. It was a horrific experience.
Imagine having something or someone you always trusted, either turn against you or leave you to die. It was like that. My own element would no longer assist me. It was only a matter of time, before I lost all of my powers and I would no longer be able to breathe underwater and then, I would either drown or bleed to death.
Oceanus was standing a couple of feet away, watching me in amusement, trying to see what I would do in my final moments. I covered my gaping wound in my chest with a hand and rose to my feet, fighting against the wave of dizziness that overcame me.
"You still want to fight. Please. In your state, you would die before I got warmed up." Oceanus baited. I hefted my trident and challenged, "You want to become the king of the oceans? You have to defeat me."
"Defeat you? I already have! You will die in the next thirty minutes! You're pathetic! I should have done this a long time ago! And the best part is that I will be able to punish my evil child and her son! Oh, the things I have planned for them, once they get back from Tartarus of course." Oceanus said, with a mad gleam in his eye.
"They're not dead, you lying snake! I can feel their life force; we are connected together, like the strings on a guitar. You can't tear us apart, no matter what happens, we will be together, life or death."
"If only you knew, Poseidon! I never said they were dead! They are traveling to Tartarus, as we speak. The Titans will once again, rule the oceans! We are triumphant! You have lost!" Oceanus informed, with glee.
"Your wrong, Oceanus! Their destroying your pitiful excuses of Tita-" My sentence was interrupted, when Oceanus bounded forward and slammed into me, knocking us both down, before clambering on top of me and pushing his sword against my throat.
"Any last words, before I cut your throat?" Oceanus inquired. "Go to Tartarus, you worthless peace of filth! Go to the crows and have them eat your pea sized brain, before throwing it up and urinating on your worthless, hideous, pathetic, foul, deformed body."
"Don't speak to your superior that way! You worthless peasant! I am giving you a merciful death, but you trash talk me and call me foul names. You deserve Tartarus! But I will be merciful and make you fade instead!" Oceanus shouted in a rage.
He picked me up on stabbed both of my thighs, before slamming his fist into my face. Then he broke my arm, before slamming his sword into my stomach. He ripped the crimson stained metal out of my stomach, before grabbing a droplet of my blood and licking it off of my finger.
I just stared at him, with disgust, before looking away. I felt his hand grab my neck and he forced me to look at him. "I have never tasted the blood of mortals before. Let me just say, the blood of immortals tastes so much better!" After he said that, he shivered in delight… or maybe craziness. I don't know.
"But this… This blood tastes exactly like crap. I mean literally. This tastes like feces." He stated, with a look of repulsion.
"How would you know what feces tasted like?" I questioned.
"I… don't. It was a figure of speech! I didn't give you permission to talk!"
"Sure it was. I can't believe you have tasted crap."
"I haven't! Shut up! You speak lies! Say another word, and I will cut your tongue out of your mouth." He threatened.
I raised one hand in the air, because my other one was broken, in a way of saying sorry, but secretly, I was elated. I had found a way to get underneath his skin and get him angry enough to stop thinking.
"So… remind me again why you want to kill me." I asked, trying to stall for time, so that I could think of a way to regain my power and immortality.
"You know why!" He responded, while muttering about how stupid I was under his breath.
"No, I don't. Please enlighten me."
"I want to kill you, so that I can take my place, as the ruler of the oceans! Why can't you get that through your thick skull? Use your brain, if you have one of course. I wouldn't be surprised if all of you sea gods have kelp for brains."
"You basically just said that you're dumb." I pointed out.
"No, I didn't! I just said that sea gods don't have brains… Oh… I didn't say that! I said… That you're stupid!"
"Sure." I replied, while trying to hold in my laughter, at his idiotic behavior and purple face.
"Stop mocking me! I am not stupid! Now, what were we doing again?"
He is so stupid!
"We were just… putting on a show, for the mermen!"
"No… It wasn't that… I know! I was going to kill you!" He shouted with an evil look in his eye, before looking around at the scenery, probably imagining at as his.
When Oceanus looked down, he only saw empty air.(sea?) I materialized behind him and shoved him onto the ground, and then I summoned my trident to my hand and stabbed downwards, directly into the Titan's back. Oceanus howled in pain, before flipping onto his back and tearing my weapon out of his back.
"That wasn't very nice. If you want to play dirty, then I will play dirty!"
He bounded forward and feinted to the left, before swinging to the right. I jumped onto the flat side of his sword, making him fall forwards, before I back flipped over him, so that I was facing his back, before I summoned my trident and drove it into his exposed vertebrae. He howled in pain, before charging me, like a wild bull. I ducked underneath his reckless swing and latched onto his arm, before I tore his sword from his grasp. The sword flew into the sea air, before landing a couple of yards away from us, at the edge of the Abyss.
Oceanus grabbed onto my trident and tore it from my grasp, before throwing it about a mile away, so I wouldn't be able to use it. (He can throw things that far, because he is a Titan. Duh.) Once Oceanus threw my weapon away, he and I dove for the immortal slaying sword simultaneously, each trying to reach it before the other. I felt my hand brush against the sword, before my leg was giving a vicious yank. I quickly clambered to my feet and latched onto Oceanus' armor, before I shoved him to the side.
I darted forward, but when I was within arm's reach of the sword, I was tackled to the ground, by my second least favorite immortal, Oceanus, Kronos being my first one. I slammed my fist, into my opponent's face, before quickly scrambling to my feet and kicking his stomach again for good measure.
He grabbed onto my leg and pulled me to the ground, before sending me sprawling with a blast of ice. I looked at him, just in time for him to pick up his symbol of power. I summoned my trident, but I felt a strict resistance holding it back.
Sea cucumbers! (I dunno… I wanted to have Poseidon use a sea related curse.) Without a weapon, I was dead. Oceanus walked towards me, swinging his blade side to side, in a haunting, intimidating manner.
"Well… Haven't I seen this befor-"Oceanus tried to state, before I slammed into him, cutting off his sentence. I tore his sword from his grasp, before stabbing at his exposed chest. His eyes widened, before he scrambled to the left, to avoid the blade, about to tear open his skin.
The immortal slaying sword grazed his skin, so he tackled me again, this time, into the Abyss. As we fell, we exchanged vicious blows, to any exposed part of our bodies, before the current began to suck us in, making us gain speed. Once I slammed him against a wall that I didn't even know was there, I tried to use the currents to shoot me upwards, but it didn't work, in fact, it made my decent hasten.
I tried to flash away and vapor-travel, but I couldn't, because I was too weakened. Crimson blood was still pouring out of me in huge amounts, coloring the water a dark red color, if I could see it of course. Coming to terms with my fate, I angled my body, so that I was looking towards the blackness below me. I extended my senses and could feel the walls around me, but by now, it was too late, as the evil chasm had already brought me into its rocky embrace.
I fell like a rock. I plummeted for what seemed like forever, until I saw a red glow coming from below me. A while ago, the water had dissipated and had been replaced by air. Don't ask me how, I don't know. The air had become extremely humid and was harsher than the air in the mortal world.
When the tunnel broke away, I was left in shock and horror at what I saw. The landscape was the giant figure of a man. IT'S face was just a black hole, pulling everything into it and killing all. There were many black mountains jutting up from his skin and where his heart was supposed to be, was a harsh red and black light, pulsing outwards.
Suddenly, the man vanished and was replaced with mountains of rocks and barren landscape, with smoking craters and hordes of monsters. I could see different types of rivers weaving through the barren land. There was a pure black river, a lava river, milk colored river and two other dark blue rivers, that seemed to be either be wailing or filled with so much pain, it brought tears to my eyes. The nymphs of these rivers must not be happy.
I could feel the power lying underneath the surface of their waters. These were the most powerful rivers in the world. As I fell, I got an eagle like view on everything around me, from the sharp stalagmites above, to the glass covered ground below. Everything about this place was designed to damage its captives.
I was in Tartarus, the most evil place in the entire universe. The prison of the gods. It was where monster went to reform and Titans and Giants dwelled, biding their time, for revenge against the gods. I was a god. I would be hunted and if I was caught, I would be tortured for all eternity.
I was in the most secure prison in the universe, without an escape route and I was bleeding heavily. There would be nothing I could do, to stop the overwhelming hordes of monsters and their leaders, especially in my state. I needed a place to rest and regain my power, before the monsters started to hound me. And if I couldn't rest before that happened, I was screwed.
But first, it was time to survive a very painful fall.
Hey guys! Next chapter will have Leo! Yay! I should probably start writing more stuff with the demigods, in Orion's place, so I probably will, but who knows? Certainly not me! Thanks for reading and I hope you comment, so that you can help me improve my writing and tell me what you like and don't like. Thanks. I will update as soon as I can!
Yours in demigodishness, MakaidosTheFirst
