When I woke up, I was laying on the floor, chained like some prisoner. I felt a throbbing in my head, like someone banging on a wall, trying to force its way out. I began to try and remember what happened, I remember annabeth trying to give me food like she usually does, then blank. I can remember pieces of things that I might have done but I don't remember acting upon anything, in fact I do remember trying to fight for control, but for control what, could someone else have had control of my body. I started to call out for help, for someone to come down here and help me.
Finally I saw someone come into the room, no wait, two people came into the room. One I remembered was Chiron my mentor, the other I soon recognized as Dionysus. I expected Chiron to come over first but it was Dionysus who first came over. He stared at me for a minute and then backed up and started to talk to Chiron, "It doesnt look like we have long, for some reason the power that I have keeping his mind together is started to fade away, its like his mind will split again and I don't think I will be able to put him back together this time." Chiron looked at me in fear, but it didn't look like he was afraid of me, no. I think he was afraid for me. Before I could start talking, the throbbing in my head came back with a vengeance it was all I could do not to black out to the pain.
With a painful gaze I looked to chiron, the voice that came out was weak and tired. "Please chiron, tell me what's going on with me, I feel so much pain, horrible mind splitting pain." I tried to continue but the pain came back, this time with sounds of a voice screaming to be broken out of the prison he had been locked in for far to long.
Chiron looks at me and sighs sadly. He looks to Dionysus and asks him to explain. "Look Perry, I'm not going to sugar coat this, We don't know what happened to you down in tartarus but whatever happened to you it really messed with your brain. From what I can tell your mind is at war with itself. Two sides, you and something else and for whatever reason that other side of you is very, very angry at everything. For now I have your mind together but its fading and this other thing is getting more and more angrier. Very soon we are going to lose you and I don't know if we will be able to put the pieces back together." He looked to chiron awkwardly then back to me. "For whatever this means to you percy thank you for everything you have done for us, me the other olympians, everybody. We would never admit it because of our stupid pride but you saved our asses and for your prize you get to suffer. Im sorry for all the pain I might have caused you. The council is aware of your condition and will be watching you closely from now on."
I understood what he was saying and knew how hard that must have been for him to say that, but when he finished and looked away my head imploded. My back arched on the floor, my hands grabbed my hair and I let out a scream of pure pain that was heard across camp and on olympus where the gods have been watching since the beginning. I thought I saw a flash of gold out of the corner of my eye but at this point it could have been anything with the amount of pain I was in at that point. I heard muffled talking around me but all the talking died and everything went black.

Dionysus
Thrashing and screaming, thrashing and screaming. It was like that the first couple minutes, soon I gave up on trying to put him back together so I called out to Apollo to help me. When he showed up there was no nonsense he and the other gods had been watching from olympus so when I called for him he was already prepared. He knelt down near perseus and put his hand above the thrashing boy. His hand glowing gold. In minutes perseus had finally stopped thrashing apollo stood up and looked at us.
"Well what happened apollo why did he start convulsing or whatever." He looked away for a few minutes contemplating, soon he looked back up and explained. "As far as I could tell the only thing wrong with him is his brain, now im no expert on madness like you but I haven't seen anything like this, ever. Its like his mind is splitting into to personalities almost, One is our percy, and the other is something else. I tried to.."
He didn't get to finish because as he started to explain they heard percy breath deeply apollo immediately rushed over and checked on percy. He frowned, "Somethings wrong, he doesn't seem to be experiencing pain anymore but something doesn't feel right with him." I frowned, walked over to percy and kneeled down next to him to probe his mind, I searched for what apollo thought was wrong with him and found something that both surprised me and scared me. It was almost like a second person was in his mind, forcing his mind to conjoin together. I stood to gather myself and turned to chiron to discuss what I had found when I heard a thumping sound I turned back and saw percy pointing at apollo with his hand open, apollo at the time was being forced against the wall by some invisible force. I saw a wave of golden light flow from apollo and into percy's hand.
He let apollo fall to the floor I waited for him to flash away but he blacked out on the floor and percy smiled at the sight. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply, opening his eyes I finally saw one of the other new developments from him, his eyes turned black for a brief moment before he blinked and they turned normal. He looked at me and smiled before he pointed his hand at me made a motion of throwing me into the wall behind me. I noticed the same thing that happened to apollo started happening to me, a purple essence came out of my chest flowing like a wave of massive pain into his open hand. He closed his eyes again and breathed deeply, opening his eyes he looked at me and I fell to the ground blackness started to find the corner of my vision. Before I blacked out I heard him say "The power you both gave to me will help me extremely, its to bad that im not powerful enough take on a titan exactly yet but hey, at least I can do this." He laughed and flashed away.

Percy arrived in the throne room to see Zeus, Artemis, Athena, Hermes, Ares, and Aphrodite standing up in full battle gear and their symbols of power at their sides waiting to be used. You could see percy's twisted smile as he stared into the olympians eyes, unfazed by the multitude of weapons being pointed at him. Poseidon stepped in front of the others and tried to talk to his son.
"Percy please calm down and let us help you, we know you must be in pain and confused but you need to let us help you." He tilted his head frowning as if listening to something before smiling again, he looked at his dad and opened his arms, Poseidon smiled softly walked over to his son and embraced him. Percy leaned into his fathers arms and whispered in his ear, "I need more power," he said roughly before pushing his palm into Poseidon's chest, gasping he pulled back and looked into his sons eyes and all he saw was the intent to kill. Rivers of water flowed out of his chest and into percy's making him spread his arms to his sides and clench his fists.
The shock of how much power that was absorbed in his system shocked something inside percy, he fell to the floor screaming and writhing. Zeus stepped over his shaking form and pointed his master bolt at the boy. Percy grabbed his head and tried to stop the pain of all the thoughts and shouts coming from deep inside his mind. He opened his bloodshot eyes and stared into zeus' own eyes and begged, "Please uncle, kill me. Kill me now, I cant hold him anymore, hes too strong!" Zeus looked at him in shock not at all being asked to kill him, He looked at the boy and demanded what he meant, what he was talking about and who he is. "He created him using the book, he cant be stopped only the she can stop what she had created. Hes angry, you have to hurry and stop him befo... Before I, no he, before he takes control."
He stopped talking completely and screamed until his entire body started glowing ending with an explosion of golden light.
