Chapter 10: Back

The castle was pretty empty at the moment, only the sick, injured and the healers were there, Percy fell into the category: injured. Unfit to fight at the moment, and even though he was the King, he needed to follow rules. So that was why he was sitting in the kitchen, though when the shadows popped out his cousin, he just motioned to the chair opposite him.

Percy sat munching on a bag of chips and let a frown cover his face as he looked at his friend Nico sitting on the chair beside him.

"Cousin," Nico said and accepted the drink the titan flashed to the Prince of the Dead.

"Nico, what are you doing here?" Percy asked and swiveled the chair and allowed it to swing to face the teen there.

Sword in his left hand Nico had been in a fight recently, with whom the titan had yet to know.

"Artemis said you are on the bad side and to fight to kill," his cousin admitted. "I wanted to know what your plan was."

Sighing Percy grinned and allowed his form to show slightly.

A titan in battle armor, his hair tied back in a braid, eyes cold and calculating, a sword, Riptide was still dusty with monster blood. He looked ancient yet young, as most immortals looked.

"I am King Perseus, and I want you to tell Artemis to lay down her arms, she doesn't know the full extent of what is happening." Percy said and glanced at his younger older cousin who gaped in disbelief.

"You actually became one of them?" he sneered.

Snarling Percy brought his sword up to the boys throat. "You try being tortured for who knows how long, and the only one caring is the one who put you in that state!" He yelled and pushed his cousin away. "my emotions are a wreck, my body is the Kings, my mind is torn..." Percy said strained he threw water at Nico and the boy disappeared just as the doors opened.

"Percy, what is the mater?" Kronos asks walking forwards, his hand cupping Percy's cheek, kissing him softly and meeting no resistance.

"Talking to myself love," Percy grinned and allowed Kronos to put him on the table. Large hands circling his waist.

"Apollo said you are ready to go to battle once you have another cup of Nectar, its just Nos had a poisoned blade and the water that is meant to never harm you reacted with your ichor, that is what stopped the healing process." Kronos said and made a sandwich appear and smiled.

"We can go kick Monster and Nos' arse, bring this world to peace." Kronos said and moaned as Percy knelt down.

"First we need private time," he said seductively.
