Percy Jackson's New Side (Book 2) - Destruction: The Dawn of the Forgotten

Chapter 24: The Betrayal

Forward in Time

Third POV

Perseus watched Jason through the screen. 

His plan was going perfectly fine. 

Jason would get get his sacrifices, and Perseus would proceed to start the process to rewrite life the way he wanted. Of course, he knew it would take long. That too, he would have to wait until the summer solstice, the nearest special day he could think of. 

He sighed, taking his feet off the counter.

Heracles was also getting sacrifices, but he would be here soon.

Perseus needed to set his plan up.

Chaos struggled in the corner, and he looked at her and smirked. Slowly walking his way towards her, he crouched in front of her.

She tried to glare at him, and did, but it didn't look intimidating as she was gagged and tied to a pole. Perseus let his finger trail her cheek slowly, taking pleasure in seeing her shift from his movement, away from her.

He snickered. "I am Perseus. Why deny your lover?" He whispered to her.

Chaos closed her eyes, refusing to let tears fall.

He pressed closer to her. "Everything you have built shall go down. I shall make sure of it." He promised. "You shall be the main sacrifice, among others. Once you have left, I shall become the Creator. I shall make the Primordials and all deities. I shall control everyone. I shall be the supreme ruler." He wiped a tear from her cheek that betrayed her feelings.

He took her gag off. "It is the dawn of the forgotten, Chaos. It is my era to rule."

He walked off only to hear her voice, ragged and barely audible. "You can't control anything, Perseus. Things will always play out the way they need to. The way they want to."

He clenched his fist and spun around, his fist meeting her jaw. Her body shook violently, the pole only holding her up as her legs went limp. The side of her face erupted in pain through spasms like a throbbing heart, raging to break free and get revenge on him.

"What happened to you, Percy?" She whispered. Her eyes were begging for answers.

He met her eyes, black staring at black. Chaos gasped. "Your eyes were never black."

Perseus closed his eyes, shifted his jaw, and looked around. No one was there. He stared at her again, meeting her now intrigued eyes. "I have said this before, Chaos. I have told you who I am. But you overlooked me."

Chaos searched his eyes, begging him to tell lies. She wanted him to be wrong. She wanted her suspicions to be wrong. She wanted the small voice in  the back of her head for all these months to be wrong. 

"I said I am Perseus, that very first day I came back, that I returned. I said to not call me Percy, for that is not who I am, Chaos." He said.

His words shattered her mind.

Where was her Percy?

Back in Time

Third POV

Percy was face-to-face with the Giants.

Not all of them were there, he noticed. 

His mind was rushed back to his torturous period in Tartarus. They held him for dozens of years, doing all kinds of horrible things to him.

"Who art thee?" Porphyrion demanded.

Percy took his smaller, regular, eight-foot form. However, if he wanted to, he could easily match the Giants' 30-feet forms.
