《A King Can't Rule Alone》Chapter 3: A Tale

Advertisement

Right well, the dream started like this. We were all in mom's apartment, and the TV was on at a child's station, and dad held me in his arms. I was laughing in delight and drool came out of my mouth.

"Let's wipe your mouth, Sea Prince!" he said and smacked my head on his head yet I stay quiet. "You'll grow up to be a smart hero."

There was a blinding flash of gold that no one would be able to mistake as. The sun, or Apollo, next to him stood the Oracle of Delphi, the mummy version.

"I am the spirit of Delphi, speaker of the prophecies of Phoebus Apollo, slayer of the mighty Python. Approach, seeker, and ask," she said, and my mom glanced at dad and frowned.

"W-what is my sons Destiney?" her lower lip trembled, and dad wrapped his arms around her for comfort.

"Son of Sea, beware Time

He shall be your Salvation, your Betrayal your Destruction.

Your body responds to his,

Save the world from the Dark

At the Right hand of Time."

The scene changed, and I stood next to a handsome man with his arms around me, I looked up at him with love shining in my eyes. The man did too, and when he leaned down, I met him for the kiss and the Titan slowly lowered me to the bed.

"Kronos!" my future self-cried out, and you could see the pleasure than it all disappeared, the Oracle fell, and Apollo raced to catch her.

Poseidon looked green, his eyes full of grief and hurt, that his son would be with his crazy baby eating father.

"Poseidon...?" My mother asked, and she looked pale, her hand was trebling at where it was covering her mouth.

"I am so sorry Uncle P..." Apollo spoke softly, and my mom started to cry, heartbreaking sobs broke the atmosphere.

"We keep Perseus away from the Greek world as long as possible, he can't know, he mustn't know. I don't want that fate for my son." Dad said and glared at Apollo.

"Uncle, we can't control a prophecy-"Apollo began but was interrupted.

"DO YOU THINK I WANT THIS FATE FOR MY SON!???? IT WAS MY FAULT! I HAD SWORN ON THE RIVER STYX NEVER TO HAVE A HALF-BLOOD CHILD! THE CURSE MEANT FOR ME WENT TO MY SON!" dad roared, and mom and Apollo cowered under the angry wrath of the sea god.

I stood there un seen and I bowed my head, the Fates weren't with me, apperently I need to go down this route. One that the promise on the Styx wanted fulfilled.

*NOW*

Percy woke up with a gasp he was panting, and he could feel the sweat roll down his bare body. He had no idea how long he had been asleep, but he felt well rested. He noticed that he was now in a different bedroom then the one he was in last time. That room had smelt like the hospitial room.

This bed he was on was soft, the bed had black sheets with a lot of pillows. It was shining gold and blue where the sun crept in through the curtains. A closet, it was closed, but it had a pair of clothes on hangers on the hadles.

Percy sighed and sat up and ran a hand through his hair. It was longer than usual and would need to be cut. But with the war agisnt the Titans he had no time to worry about his image, and being in a cell for who knows how lond didnt help either.

"What the Hades was that?" he murmured and stretched and winced as a few bones popped.

Percy POV

I stand and walk to the window and glance at San Francisco below, it was bright, and no one was walking. Nothing moved. It was like a ghost city, and it made it worse since it was so early in the day!

That is so weird I think.

"It is," a voice I now recognize says, and I turn around.

Kronos stands their arms crossed and dressed in black, his trousers are held up by his sword belt, his shirt is form fitting and marine boots are laced up tightly; and it suits him. I scowl as I see the Titan Kings eyebrow rise.

"Stay out of my head!" I say.

"Oh, Perseus how do I wish" Kronos smirks and walks closer to me.

I scramble backwards and keep going until my back hits the wall.

"You'll never win, you want me, and you deny, but you can't deny love" Kronos murmured and lightly touched my forehead, I flinch.

"I will NEVER love you. You're going to destroy the whole world. San Fran makes no noise. No birds chirp..." I trail off as his familiar golden eyes watch me and I weaken a little.

"It's just the calm before the storm, now lie down, be a good boy. This will only hurt if you deny it." Without my consent, the Titan king throws me on the bed, and I swallow.

I jump as the door opens and all the other Titans stand there.

"K-Kronos?"

"I am the King of the Universe; Mount Othrys is the control of power. I command that Perseus's mortal form breaks and he becomes immortal!" Kronos chants, his brothers and sisters have their hands raised in my direction, their symbols of powers are glowing and the beam of light hits me.

I scream as the Titanly heat hits me, and my life flashes before my eyes, I wasnt sure how long this was lasting. My body shut down as the change was forced upon me.

It smelt heavily of Blue Cookies when I woke up, and once again I was in the Medical Wing, the gren sheets covered my naked body. I don't know how long I slept, or how many days once agian passed. So slowly I opened my eyes to greet golden ones.

"Ugh, what happened?" and that was when I realize I was resting, and my Olympian family stood/ sat there. They looked tired and sore, but very much alive and not in Tartarus.

"Percy" dad asked, and I slowly sit up wincing as my body moves to fast and my head spins.

"Dad, what's up?" it sounds lame even to me and it makes it worse my voice is scratchy.

"They took your mortal form away. They dropped you off five days ago, and you just now woke up." Apollo explains and rinses my head with a cloth that sat in a dish of water.

"I- I don't want to be the one dad... I don't want to be the right hand of Kronos." I wince as every god present winces and stare at me.

"I am so, so, so, so, so, sorry Percy."

"Can't you get me out? "

"No, you can't change the Fates, stand to fight and serve Olympus boy." Zeus proclaims, but there wasnt Olympus anymore, it was in control of the Titans.... Which I was now...

But my will was already crumbling; I doubt I could stand any more news.

I would be by Kronos side when the war started, and I would have to try keeping my family alive... I was falling...

I never felt so lost.
