Chapter 10

Perseus was on the bench of a dark park on the far end of Olympus, he had never liked parties and all the time he went to Olympus and there was one, he went to a place were the party wouldn't go. After watching the starts and clouds for 20 minutes, Perseus got bored of it, so he decided to explore the city of the gods. Even thought Perseus had been several times on Olympus, and had tried more than once to explore it fully, he had never been able to fully do it, Olympus housed hundreds of gods and nature spirits, and none of the gods were wiling to share a palace with another one, or have the palace being small, so the city had many palaces all of them huge.

Perseus had seen many palaces on Olympus, most of minor gods, however he knew when that the structure in front of him wasn't a palace. It was a huge building, bigger than the gods council, and it was with several columns and statues of different gods, the only entrance the Perseus could see, was a huge bronze door, with draws of different myths and of plants.

The inside of the building was bigger than the outside, it had several floors on the inside, and in each floor, and there were dozens of bookshelves, all of the bookshelves were of golden colors. Every bookshelf was full, some had books other had papers that were several centuries old, etc. On the center of the building there were many tables and chairs with some books opened.

When Perseus saw that place, he knew he had arrived to his favorite place on all Olympus. Searching for any book on the huge building, he took one of ancient rituals. On camp half-blood there were many books, but most were from monsters, myths, survivals and things that Perseus knew all about, but from ancient rituals? There were none.

When Perseus opened the book, he saw that the rituals were from the ancient Greece. After reading about rituals about how to summon monsters, gods, and even dead, Perseus came to one that suddenly.

"How can a mortal, get a fraction of the powers of gods." Perseus read out loud, after he read the title he directed all his attention to the book and nothing else. "While a mortal becoming a god is impossible, unless they make you one of their own, the gods can give their blessing to any mortal creature, when this happens the mortal will be given a portion of the power of the domain of said god, and no one can remove the blessing unless they are bathed on the river Phlegethon, to burn every portion of the godly power that has been given to the mortal." Perseus said while writing it on his notebook to not forget that. "It seems that there is a plan right now." Perseus thought, while he had told Sofie that he had a plan, and that was why he needed the demigod list, he had lied, he just wanted to hunt those people for fun, and to take their souls.

Perseus didn't stop reading the book he had found of rituals, and after that, his notebook was full of notes and of ways to summon monsters and how to made barriers of all kinds. Chiron however had taken some of the demigods the next day; all the demigods went back to the camp, except the ones who had gotten a hangover, that had to go back to camp and would be taking care of the cleaning for 2 weeks.

-6 months later-

Perseus had been out on the woods of Canada for about 2 weeks, after the party in Olympus he had studied more about ancient rituals and the blessing of a god. He had tried to find out a way to get it with out the permission of a god, but it was impossible, the only way to make a god bless you was if he accepted to it so he needed a way of convincing them to do it.

After 2 months, Perseus finally convinced Chiron to let him go on a four-month trip in which Perseus would use to gain experience and try to find new monsters and some demigods. Perseus had never been on such a long trip on his own, so he was excited that he would be able to travel around. He had been hunting and surviving on the woods of different parts of the US for 3 months and one week, and Perseus had noticed that his skill had improved greatly, he had encountered with many different monsters and giants, some demigods and a couple of mortals that could see thought the mist. He hadn't killed any demigod jet, as all the demigods that he had seen had a strong aura and all looked like veterans that would likely defeat Perseus, instead Perseus had been asking them for help on his fighting skills, of course he would never stay on the same place for more than 3 days, and always tried to cover his tracks as good as possible.

While training Perseus had fought against many different monsters, some were Cyclops; other was giants, and even a dragon. However of all the monster he had found and fought, he had only been able to kill 3 Cyclops 2 giants and a couple of Dracaenae and one hellhound. However he had been able to absorb their souls and had gained an incredible amount of strength and of agility, also thanks to the hellhound he had discovered a new form of travelling thought the shadows, but it took to much energy to move with it let alone fight.

Perseus was near a fire while covering himself with the fur of the hellhound he had killed and the ones of some wolfs that he had found on his way in Canada. He was eating some fish food that he had cooked with the fire and that was with a wooden stick across his body. Those last few months he had learned a lot about surviving on the woods and hunting. He had his spear on the floor next to him and his armor on just incase a monster decided to attack. After he had eaten the fish he went to his small sleeping bag and took his knife and furs and went to sleep.

On the morning he was woken up by the reflection of something golden on a small mountain, deciding to see what it was, he went on the direction of the mountain after packing all his belongings. The Mountain was full of ice and the only way he could get to the top was climbing, so Perseus took his gloves off and started climbing ignoring the cold that his hands felt. When he was on the top of the mountain his hands were blue and bleeding, the path he had climbed was full of blood, however Perseus took no notice on that and just took some of the souls on his books and sacrificed them in exchange of his hands getting mostly healed of the cold. Those pasts few months Perseus had found out that he could sacrifice souls in exchange of something, however it only worked with things that could be related to his body, he could not get money or weapons.

When Perseus arrived at the top of the mountain he knew that he had made the right decision coming to the place, the ice on the floor was with metal weapons and some armors that looked way better than the ones that camp half-blood had, most of them were too big to Perseus, so he summoned some animals souls and made them take the armors and keep them inside their body, after that Perseus made them come back inside the black book, that was a new trick that he had found on his trip, however he could not take enormous amounts of things inside his servants bodies, so he just kept important thing inside. After taking a good amount of the armors and weapons on the floor, he went and looked at the things he couldn't take. He then took a golden sword on the floor and inspected it to see the quality, the moment he saw the sword he knew that only a professional blacksmith could had made it, it was perfectly balanced and was as sharp as the swords that the sons of Hephaestus made on the camp. Perseus was about to inspect another sword, however as soon as he touched the sword he heard a sound.

He had suspected that the place was a griffon nest for the vast amount of precious metals that were on the place. The griffon was mostly black but his wings were of a bright red color. The moment he saw Perseus he went towards him at full speed, Perseus had already seen this coming and taking a spear from the floor he threw it at the monster, however the monster was faster than Perseus had thought so he dodged the spear and took Perseus with his claws and started to fly with Perseus, When they were about the clouds height, the griffon took his claws out of Perseus shoulder and saw the demigod fall down onto the mountain.

Perseus was bleeding badly from his shoulder, the claws of the monster had gone deep on his left one and had made it impossible for Perseus to fight with it, when Perseus was about 10 floors from the rock, a pair of wings came out of his back, destroying his upper clothes and making him vulnerable to the cold. The moment that his wings came out Perseus took his spear and flew towards the surprised monster, the monster was too surprised by the demigod having wings that didn't notice Perseus flying towards him until it was too late, however its reflect made the griffon move on the last moment and making Perseus stab him on the monsters stomach instead of the head. The monster knew that he judged the demigod wrong, so he went towards him on his full speed and ready to destroy the demigod in front of him with her claws. When the monster was about 4 meters from Perseus he noticed that Perseus was smiling and had the eyes open as wide as he could, After that the monster was blew by a powerful wind force that came out of nowhere, the moment his eyes landed on Perseus again he knew that the demigod in front of him wasn't normal.

What the monster didn't know was that the moment that Perseus spear touched his flesh, Perseus had being over flow by the blood lust that the souls of all the monsters he had killed had, and took his aura out on its full power. The moment that happened Perseus saw the monster fly because of the pressure that his aura had just made. When the monster stabilized Perseus raised his spear and summoning all the power he had, he threw it at the monster at a speed as fast as sound. The spear was surrounded by shadows and Perseus aura, and the moment it touched the monsters body, a hole appeared on the monsters chest were the spear had passed through.

When Perseus made sure that the monster was dead he went to the last place he sensed his aura be with his spear, however when he arrived there was almost nothing left of his spear. Looking at the monster corpse as it slowly transformed onto small grains of golden sand, Perseus noticing how the wind was taking all of them away, took a small leather bag, and filled it with the sand for future experiments when he went to camp half-blood, when he finished he went back to the mountain and took as much of the weapons and armors as he could. Taking a last look of the mountain he took a big map of the country and marked the place in which the mountain was, when he was sure he had everything ready, he marched towards the border of U.S, getting ready to march towards New York city before the deadline that Chiron had told him, he first wanted to see how his servants on the city were doing and to find a couple of monsters on the way.
