I am sure by now everyone has started school and my class this year have been giving me at least 3 and a half hours of homework a night. So, please don't stop reading even if I don't update in a while. I promise as of right now I will not give up this story unless something bad happens. Also, I hat hpw short my chapters are s oI am trying to make them longer. Anyway here is the newest chapter of Alone.
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Percy POV
My everything is killing me. I have been training for eleven days and every single part of me feels like it is on fire. You see, Kronos is not the nicest trainer in the world. Well, that's an understatement. He is not the kind of guy that when you mess up just simply says 'Oh good try, how bout you try one more time.' No, if I mess up once he congratulates me with some type of painful treatment. Psychical or mental.
If you were wondering where I am right now, well I am in one of my great training sessions with Kronos. Today we are working on pain control so if I get hurt I will be able to stand against it. Not the funnest lesson in the world.
"Okay Perseus, first lesson will be on a battle pain. Now you have seen my scythe." With that Kronos' scythe appeared in his hand and my stomach went into my throat. If you didn't know Kronos' scythe separates the soul from the victims body in an extremely painful way and I mean PAINFUL.
I could tell he could sense my fear when he said, "Ah young Perseus you think I would harm you so you are weak for battle. As you know I am the titan of time, I will just reverse your body so it is back to how it is now after I attack you." That made me feel a little bit better but not completely, there was still the amount of pain that scythe would cause me.
"Can't we just use some other sword, I mean it is not like anyone has a scythe like yours."
"Ah, but my scythe is one of the most powerful swords in the universe, plus if anyone ever got a hold of it I am sure they would use it against you. Also, if you can handle this sword's pain the you can handle every sword's pain. Are you ready Perseus, now the point of this is to not fall to the ground and scream. Here we go."
With that he came at me and slashed my stomach.
You know how I was not suppose to fall to the ground and scream, well I failed at that try.
I fell to the ground with an ear splitting scream. My body curled into a ball on the ground. The pain was like being buried alive on fire and not being able to die time a million. I started to scream and thrashing around asking for someone to kill me and to end it. I wanted to die even if I had to see my uncle who I hated. Anything to stop this pain.
Finally after a minute of the pain surging through my body it stopped.
I stood up with my legs trembling.
"WHAT THE HADES WAS THAT FOR YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO PUT ME BACK TO HOW I WAS BEFORE NOT LET ME SUFFER THROUGH IT."
"Ah grandchild I don't think you understand, if you never suffer through the pain then there is no way you can beat it. I had to let you suffer and I did put you back to how you were because if I didn't you would have been dead by now. So shut up and lets try again."
After many failed attempts I finally got to the point where I wouldn't fall to the ground so Kronos decided to move on.
"Okay next up is handling godly powers. As you know all gods can inflict pain on anything they want but what most don't know is that you can minimize the pain with a certain spell. I know this since they are my kids, but they keep it hidden from others because if it ever got out it would be quite easy to destroy the gods because they couldn't hurt you as much. Now I am not saying there will be no pain just not as much. The only thing that this spell won't work with is if all of them use their powers together which they hasn't been done in millions of years."
"What about when they defeated the Typhoon?"
"Remember Hades was helping you fight while the other gods and goddess were defeating it. Oh but this curse only works on gods. If I tried to kill you or any kind of titan tried to kill you then if would be 10 times more painful because of this curse so just remember this if you switch sides, Perseus."
"Oh believe me I would never help those...those I can't even use a word to describe them."
"Very well." Kronos started to recite something in ancient Greek and I felt a surge go through my body. It was more painful then a dip in the river of sticks and kronos scythe combined, believe that's a lot of pain.
I fell to the ground and my screech filled the night sky. My back arched and my muscles all felt like they were on fire and breaking one by one. Blood started flowing from my mouth and then at one it stopped.
"Ah yes you lived that is wonderful." Kronos said with a smile on his, well really, Ethan's face.
"What are you talking about?" I questioned.
"Oh I forgot to tell you no mortal or demi-god has ever survived that, you are the first."
"I had a chance of dying and you didn't bother to tell me?"
"Yup, but I knew you would live. Why do you think I did the battle pain first. I would not want you killed so I fight alone that would just be stupid wouldn't it?"
"Ya I guess," but I wasn't all that convinced that he was trying not to kill me.
"Perseus it is late you should probably get some sleep. Tomorrow we will attack camp."
"Okay." I knew that tomorrow I would get part of my revenge and they would finally pay for what they did to me. I was going to kill my 'friends.'
