Cracks Don't Heal Themselves || Part 1

What if Percy had killed Akhlys?

sO um this will probably be multiple parts, cause it'll get super long otherwise

(Also some lines will be taken from House of Hades, cause of sPeEcH, soooo credit to Rick for those)

      CRACK

      The shatter echoed through his body, delicate shards of the one thing holding him back. Percy felt the crack, but didn't stop think of it's meaning: his mind, shifting, changing; his powers, becoming darker, fuller. A crystal ball, splintering, no one would have understood what it meant, how nothing like this had happened before, nothing like this would ever happen again.

      The poison that was surrounding him stilled, just for a second. Then, it turned. The pools began to shift, turning on its supposed master. It was threatening Akhlys, swirling dangerously as it moved towards her. Dizzying smoke paused in its onslaught towards Percy, reversing and approaching the goddess. 

       "What is this?" Akhlys wailed, eyes widening in surprise.

      "Poison," Percy's face split into a crooked and dangerous grin, feeling more powerful than ever. "that's your speciality, right?"

       Anger continued flowing through his veins, consuming his mind, clouding his thoughts. Tears began to flow down the goddess' face, the fumes coating her eyes. 

      A chuckle escaped Percy's lips, Oh good, he thought, more water. He watched, picturing Akhlys' nose and throat being filled by her own tears. Akhlys was choking, struggling to breathe. The waves of poison had swallowed the ground around her, now lapping at her feet. Akhlys wailed and sobbed as the ground sizzled beneath her.

      "PERCY," Annabeth yelled from behind him, voice filled with fear. She was shaking, moving back still, nearly at the edge of the cliff. Tears were brimming in her eyes, and she struggled to hold back her sobs.

      "Stop" She croaked, reaching out to him slowly.

      He paused, glancing at her; realising she was terrified. Terrified of him. 

      Percy shook his head, almost unnoticeably, trying to shake the fog that had muddled his brain. No luck. He couldn't think of anything but the goddess in front of him. He wanted to drown Ahklys, drown her in her own tears, drown her in the poison he controlled. Percy willed the poison forwards. It crept closer, despite Annabeth's panicked pleads, towards the screaming goddess.

      Even as he willed the waves of poisonous liquids and fumes forwards, part of him screamed at himself to stop. It begged with the shattered wall to put itself back together and restrain him. A sole tear dripped down his face, the only sign of regret in his twisted form.

      And then, Percy smirked, feeling more in control then ever as he raised his hands, his smile growing wider when the poison responded, curling around Ahklys, consuming her. Poison seeped into her skin, fumes covered her face, waves of poison lapped at her feet, crawling up her legs. Ahklys wailed, screaming as she wobbled on the edge of chaos. It called to her, the deep emptiness tugged on her gut, pulling her closer to the edge. At last, with a soul-crushing scream that sucked joy out of the world, Ahklys toppled off the edge. She was disintegrating, poison eating away at her body. Darkness began to cover her, and Akhlys fell into the void.
