Chapter 1.5

This is a filler chap so do not blame us if it is very very short.

PERCY HATED IT, YET LOVED IT AT THE SAME TIME. There he was, once again, falling to Tartarus. But this time- this time it was different. Annabeth, the cheater girl, was not with him. There was no one to control him. Percy could use his powers as much as he wanted, and in any way.

Cold wind stung Percy's face, as he dove headfirst down into Tartarus. The air started to become warmer and damper every second. It didn't smell of rotten eggs like last time. Instead, it smelled like roses and fire. Not like a destructive fire but like a fire keeping you warm on a cold day.

This time, Tartarus fell strangely welcoming.

Something he never expected from a place like this.

And then Percy snapped out of his daydreaming. He was barely 500m away from the ground. 10 seconds till he was Percy's pancake.

9 seconds.

8 seconds

7 seconds

6 seconds

5 sec- WOAH!

A strange bird-like creature had saved him! Percy flew sideways and began to get lower again. He was going to get fried up in the Phlegthon. Now he would be a Percy kebab. Yay! *note the sarcasm*

Stupid him daydreaming again!

Percy crashed into the Phlegthon, the river of fire and healing. The fire burned against his skin. He heard voices speaking to him.

Control it. It is all yours. Do not restrain yourself. You won't put anyone in danger. Control us.

Those words kept on repeating. Percy's head started to hurt. All of a sudden, when he could not take it anymore, he screamed, 'STOP!'

All the pain stopped. His vision cleared. In from of him, he saw a man in a bright red shirt. The man had fiery red eyes and his blond hair was streaked with red. Realization hit Percy. He bowed, " L-Lord Phlegthon? Is that you? To what do I owe this honor?"

Phlegthon smiled. "Rise, young one. I have come here to bless you. I am fading fast and I need a hero to contain my essence. So Perseus, do you accept my offer?"

Percy stared at Phlegthon in disbelief. "Yes. May I ask, will I be receiving any powers?"

"You will inherit all of my powers and titles. You can also take my form whenever you wish. The River Phlegthon will also bend to your will." Right after saying that Lord Phlegthon faded into a small flame that shone brighter than the Sun. The flame slowly made its way to Percy's chest and entered it. Percy felt a surge of power course through his tired and tattered body.

All hail Lord Perseus, Primordial of Fire, and the Phlegthon.
