I'm back! Sorry for the wait. School is over now though, so I should update more frequently.
Previously...
Athena sighed and knew she couldn't kill him. She didn't know why. Most likely he was the son of her enemy and too powerful. But on the other hand, Ares requested this. She couldn't just off him for no reason. 99% sure. Maybe. Possibly. No, she wouldn't. She felt there was something different about him, she just couldn't figure out what.
She then saw something strange. She looked over and gasped.
"What's wrong," Artemis asked.
Athena just pointed and stuttered, "H-H-His E-Eyes!"
Artemis looked and saw something alarming and slightly terrifying. His eyes, they were-
"They're the exact same as Möbius's!"
Percy marveled at the water all around him. He discovered that he could control water by only willing it! He raised his hand and the strands in the air curled around his fist. He made it shape people and animals form and move. He laughed at the sights. He made spikes, then a dagger, then back to the previous strands. He drew more and more water through the crack. Little did he know he was eroding through the stone wall with every drop.
He continued his experiments, unaware to the two goddesses watching from another room.
Said goddesses were busy discussing his control and eyes.
"We need to tell Zeus." Artemis said.
"No!"
"Why?"
"I have a feeling he'd take this badly." Athena said.
"Which is why we should tell him." Artemis countered.
Athena secretly agreed, but couldn't betray her brother's confidence like that. She searched for a compromise or solution. Luckily she didn't have to think long because Ares flashed in.
"Athena, we need to-" His eyes widened when he saw Artemis. Before she could react Ares had his broadsword off his back and at her neck. Her eyes widened and she tried to speak but Ares pressed his sword against her neck harder. She instead made a gurgle and stopped.
"Why are you here! How did you find him!" He yelled. His mind raced at the implications. She now knew and would tell Zeus, the little Daddy's Girl she was. Then Zeus would try to kill the boy again. He cursed.
"Ares!" Athena yelled. Ares looked over at her, his rage obvious in his eyes. It dimmed down when he saw her.
"Athena?" He didn't understand how she was here and okay, yet mad at him for protecting the boy. In his momentary distraction Artemis moved his sword away from her neck. Ares's rage ignited again and he slashed at her but was stopped by… Athena's spear? He turned back to her.
"I invited her." Athena said. She saw the flash of pain in Ares's eyes as he thought she betrayed him. She rushed to console him.
"We need her Ares. She can hide him better than either of us, and she has more experience with children." Athena reasoned.
Ares understood but still had reservations. "You should have told me first."
Athena understood, but said "It was the most logical decision." Ares let it go. He turned to the wide-eyed Artemis.
"Promise on the Styx that you will tell no one about the boy, or you die now." Ares said.
"Ares! Be nice." Athena said. Ares rolled his eyes.
"Please…"
Artemis nodded. Ares sheathed his sword and gestured for her to speak. Her mouth dry from the recent events she stumbled over her words.
"I...I swear on the River Styx th… that i will tell no one of the boy's existence, until told otherwise by Ares or Athena." Artemis swore. Thunder crashed outside. "Who is the boy?" she asked.
Ares answered. "He is, was, my target." He spat out the last word like it was something vile.
Artemis's eyes widened at the implications. She looked at the screen and frowned. Ares and Athena looked as well. All of their eyes widened. Athena broke the silence, "What… the… Hades…"
Percy was gone, as well as half of the back wall. The floor was covered with water.
Ares sighed, this was going to be a long day…
While Ares flashed in, Percy worked on widening the crack under his bed. He knew he had to escape this madhouse that he was taken to. He knew that the goddess was watching him somehow. He also knew he would be stopped soon. He then realized that he didn't have to slowly erode it. He could just knock it down. He gathered the water outside and forced it through the wall. Water started to come between miniscule cracks by trickles, then a flow, then the wall imploded.
Percy yelped and dodged the stone chunks as he was covered in water. He felt refreshed, and when he looked up, the whole wall was gone, and he was free! He looked both ways and ran into the night.
Sorry it's short, but I wanted to put one out. Also, again, sorry it's late, but here you go!
Random thought/thing:
Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
Bye now!
