Sorry for the wait in the update guys my phone got stolen and my lab top was glitching out but here we are, Here is chapter two.

I do not own Percy Jackson

The Tragedy of Percy Jackson

Chapter 2

Percy woke up in a pool of his own sweat, thankfully his powers instantly dried himself and the bed, he was still disturbed by it. He wasn't surprised by the fact, honestly it was a regular occurrence for him. He'd have a nightmare or two, and wake up covered in sweat. Last night had been no different, as a nightmare was all he experienced in his dreams.

The dark voice of Tartarus still echoed in his mind, as over and over he informed Percy that he could not defeat him. Even if that was the case, Percy over and over tried to attack and kill Tartarus, each charge resulting in his very horrible death. If that wasn't bad enough, before Percy could even fight the living and breathing form of hell, he had to watch all of his friends die before him. This happened over and over again in a loop, each one slightly different then the rest but each resulting in defeat. Percy could have sworn that he could feel Tartarus stabbing his sword into his gut, his fist reaching at his heart through Percy's chest, and of course being suffocated was the most horrific of them all.

Percy figured he would give in and tell Chiron about the nightmares, he debated telling Annabeth but he didn't want her worrying over him more then she already did. Chiron was someone he could trust and even if the old centaur didn't have a solution he would probably give Percy some good advice that would help the situation briefly. Sighing he rose from his bed and quickly took a shower before slipping on a CHB t shirt and khaki colored cargo pants, his usual attire, before walking out of his cabin.

He admired the view he saw above him, as the protective boundary kept the campers nice and warm, but on the outside and above, snow lightly fell. He noticed it was very early in the morning, most likely five or six, considering the sun was just starting to peak above the lake. Figuring he would let his mentor rest for a while longer, Percy made his way down towards the beach. He hoped being all alone would help ease his anxious mind.

When he made it to the beach, he walked ankle deep into the water, and just stared at the water finding it peaceful and comforting. He found himself smiling at the water, it was working its magic, and healing Percy's fractured mind. He was sure it would take years to get the darkness of Tartarus out of his mind, even if he stayed in water. However, the water was a safe place for Percy, a place that let the darkness out of his mind and the light back in. He was able to reflect on good times, times where the biggest problem he had in life was passing junior year. Then Hera decided to kidnap him and send him to San Fransisco.

"What a Bitch," He murmured to himself resulting in a shot of lighting in the horizon. Percy shook his head as Zeus always seemed to be listening to him whenever he decided to say something negative about the gods. That really didn't matter to him as he had more ability to speak his mind to the Olympian council after the Titan War 2.0 and The Second Giant War.

The gods that already liked him, liked him more, and he was even able to gain some sort of respect if not appreciation from Athena for not letting her daughter die in the pit. He was pretty sure the only gods that didn't like him was Ares, even if Zeus didn't like Percy he still respected the son of Poseidon. As these thoughts flowed through his mind, Percy seemed to lose track of time, as the break feast bell sounded off twice.

"Till tomorrow lake," Percy mumbled to himself before turning around and walking out of the water to get some food.


Percy sat down at the far end of the Poseidon table, that way he would be able to speak to the other lone demigod Jason. It took a few minutes but sure enough Jason was sitting down with a sigh before giving Percy a nod.

"You sleep at all last night man?" Jason asked him, "Not to be rude but you look like shit.'

Percy laughed and shrugged before saying, "I slept a little, kept waking up," He lied which was met with a skeptical look from Jason. The son of Zeus didnt question more however, and instead shoved scrambled eggs into his mouth and let out a groan of pleasure. Percy turned and stared at his plate before picking up a piece of toast, smothered it with strawberry jelly, and took a big bite out of it. He chewed the tasty substance and swallowed, which had a different effect. Percy lost his appetite completely and the look of his plate now looked disgusting and the smell of eggs made him want to vomit. He tossed the rest of his bread down on his plate before pushing it away from him.

Unfortunately this had been another side effect from Tartarus, or well at least he assumed. Once the nightmares started back up around October, Percy had not been able to eat more then one meal a day, two if he was lucky. Fortunately for Percy he could always drink water as his body loved water no matter how much he felt like throwing up.

"Hey Sea weed brain," Annabeth said cheerfully plopping down next to him. Percy smiled at her before quickly kissing her cheek.

"How'd you sleep last night?" She asked.

"I think I need a new bed," Percy noted, "Mine right now kinda slumps down on my back."

"Well you always have the thirty other unused beds just waiting to be used," Annabeth noted, "So no nightmares?"

"Annabeth I haven't had a nightmare since last summer okay," Percy lied, "Don't worry about me."

The rest of breakfast went of Annabeth talking to Piper about the wedding plans, and Percy and Jason talking about the bachelor party, which would consist of water slides starting from the clouds into the lake and probably some wine from the god of wines kids. (For the life of me forgot how to spell his name somebody please tell me what the god of wines name is plz and thanks)

"Campers! can I have your attention please!" Chiron announced which silenced the conversations as they all looked over at the centaur, " Thank you very much. I have a very important message for you today... The oracle has spoken and a new prophesy has been given. Its rather unusual one, but the Hero of the prophesy is already named and when I am done reading it, he and I will talk alone in the big house. Nobody shall enter or bother the hero at all unless you want to be on dish duty for the rest of the month." Percy was very interested, and looked out across the tables to see who the next hero would be. After all Percy figured he was done with quest, unless it meant retrieving young demigods in help, but no more life or death shit. Well at least he hoped so.

"Alright well, here it is," Chiron announced as he pulled out a piece of paper and began to read from it, "

The Enemy of all shall rise

To cause all to happiness die

For Olympus to stand at the end of May

Percy Jackson shall see the end of his days

Demigods shall preach his name as the war of wars arrives

All life is at stake as The first Primordial war makes its way

Chaos is sure to reign"

All of the campers eyes shot over to Percy who wasnt paying any attention to them. His eyes were trained on the ground as his body felt completely numb. He wasn't having nightmares, he was having demigod dreams, which were warning him of the events to come. He looked up at Annabeth who's hand was grasping onto his arm as her eyes threatened to spill tears. Percy gave her a sad smile before standing up from the table. He felt dizzy and light headed, but he turned his back on all the campers and simply walked towards the big house. He could hear Chiron following him from behind, and when he entered the big house he let himself weakly fall to his knees as the news that he was going to die overwhelmed him. Tears forced themselves from his eyes and a small sob escaped his mouth. Every other quest and war he always had a chance at making it through, but in three months he was going to die at the young age of twenty.
