Chapter 16

Percy's POV

Dream sequence

I got up.

I walked around for a bit. Everything was hazy. So this was what a demigods dream state was like.

I felt myself getting pulled towards an image.

When I felt myself stopping, I looked down to see I was in the Olympian throne room.

"How is he?" a female voice asked.

"I do not know Artemis, I just do not." The other one was my mothers'. Her voice was laced with worry. "If only we had known about the fusion the other gods could have helped. The Primordials are an exception to the rule they always have been."

"It was fortunate that neither of the Primordials had reached full power. If that had happened they would no longer need their titan hosts. Without that limiting factor they are far more powerful. Even with the titans I fear that they can defeat most of the Olympians"

I could focus now. I saw them.

My mum nodded. "Percy landed a lucky shot on Krios. I just hope that he will be out for at least another hundred years."

Artemis was about to walk off when she turned back and said, "Hydros and Ourea were in control of the titans." My mum nodded. "They are hardly the most powerful of the primordials. That either means that some of them are already fully formed, or they are not going to fight us. If that is the case then we may be able to get help." Artemis said.

"Yes, I was thinking that too. After having no body for thousands of years, you would think that they would all rush at the chance to have a body. Gaia and Tartarus especially are aggressive to the gods. Uranus is as well. You would think that they would inhabit the bodies of the most powerful titans, Kronos, Atlas, and Iapetes." Mum said. Continuing on the train of thought she followed with. "Maybe, the only possible explanations that I can think of are that they were testing it, they are already formed, or they are going to be non-aggressive in the war." She started to pace around the room. "I do not think that the last one is likely. Neither is the second. I believe that they were not sure if it would work. They will use the currently fused Titans to resurrect the others."

"Yes, however I believe that some have been around the whole time. Tartarus and Pontus were never defeated." I saw my mum flinch at the mention of Pontus.

I felt myself getting pulled elsewhere.

I looked down to see a group of people in armour. One of them was Atlas. There was one who was sitting at the head of the table. He was obviously Kronos. His eyes were lightning blue.

"My friends. Today we will be welcoming new allies into our midst." He pointed to the door and a man and a woman who radiated power walked in. they were both armoured each armed with a sword and shield.

"Hello brother." The man said.

"I am not your brother but your cousin." Kronos stated.

The man smirked, "Of course cousin."

Kronos stared at him for a second longer before eventually becoming satisfied.

"These two people are my two cousin. They have come to aid us against the Olympians. They are named Hemera and Aether.

The man named Aether looked right at me. "We have a little spy." He said. With that I disappeared.

(End of dream sequence)

I woke up. There was a blue tinted ceiling above me. I was on a comfortable mattress of some kind.

I tried to get up. I could not. I managed to move my head around. I was strapped to an operating table. There was a man in a coat. He had a large white beard and was wearing a simple toga.

"Who are you?" I asked.

He smiled. "The person who just stopped you from dying. You would have reformed in a couple of hundred years. With that kind of wound maybe even longer."

"Why am I strapped to this table?"

He thought for a moment and said, "For both your and my safety."

I waited for him to elaborate. He did not.

"Why did you help me?" I asked.

"You are needed to help the Olympians win. You are one of the most powerful beings, even if you do not know it. You are the son of a primordial and an Olympian. The first of your kind." He looked straight into my eyes. "You are more powerful than you know. You must speak to your father to discover your powers. Only he will be able to unlock what is left." He looked me straight in the eye. "You need to keep control in your meeting with him."

I looked him straight in the eye. "Where do I find Pontus?" he looked surprised for a second, but quickly managed to clear it up.

"What you are just going to go right in there and speak to him?" he said. "For a child of Athena you are very upfront."

I nodded, "I have a plan I just do not always put it into action."

He sighed. "If you are looking for Pontus you should look no further than here."

It took me a second to work out what he meant. I then yelled in anger. I found that I could not access my powers. I continued to struggle against my bonds never the less. "Fight me you coward."

"And why should I fight my uncle." He stated simply.

"I am not your uncle, I am your son."

"No you are not."

I stared at him for a second and then said, "Who. Who is the bastard that I must find."

"Your father used my disguise because he knew that your mother had her disagreements with the sea and wanted to cause her as much pain as possible." I said.

"The fact that you can use sea and earth shaker powers is because of your blessing of Poseidon. Normal blessings do very little to your power in comparison to if you were a child of Poseidon."

"So then why am I so powerful with his powers?" I asked confused.

"Because your father gave everyone and everything their powers." My eyes widened in shock and surprise.

"Yes. Your father is Chaos the creator.
