Percy's not okay

Tartarus

Third Person

A new memory popped up showing the land scape of Tartarus. The gods and demigods gasped at the sight. The seven already knowing that Percy Had survived Tartarus but didn't know what he had gone through. Hades began running his hands through his son's hair as if trying to make sure that he was still in his arms and not dead.

In the depths of Tartarus, Percy's every step was fraught with danger. The environment itself was hostile, with its swirling darkness and suffocating atmosphere. The absence of light and hope weighed heavily on his spirit, testing his resolve at every turn. With each step, Percy felt his heart pounding in his chest. He was filled with a sense of dread, expecting the worst around every corner. He knew that if he didn't find a way out soon, he would never make it home.

Without the presence of his friends, Percy was forced to confront the true extent of his powers and abilities. The absence of their guidance and camaraderie left him feeling isolated and vulnerable. He had to rely solely on his own instincts and judgment, making decisions that carried life-and-death consequences. Percy was overwhelmed and unsure of himself, yet had no choice but to press on. He was determined to prove himself, no matter the cost. In the end, he prevailed.

As the days turned into weeks, Percy's sense of morality began to erode. The constant exposure to darkness and evil had a corrosive effect on his soul. He found himself facing choices that challenged his very sense of right and wrong. In order to survive, he had to make difficult decisions that pushed the boundaries of his own ethics. He soon realized that there was no right or wrong, only what was necessary to survive. He was forced to make a decision between his own morality and his own survival. This made him realize that morality was not absolute, but a matter of perspective.

The relentless battles against monsters and creatures of Tartarus took their toll on Percy's spirit. The relentless violence and bloodshed became a part of his daily existence, leaving him desensitized to the suffering around him. He became hardened, detached from the feelings of empathy and compassion that were once so integral to his character. As Percy faced more danger, he became increasingly reliant on his instincts and reflexes, rather than on his emotions. He learned to prioritize survival over all else, and in the process, he lost touch with the softer side of his personality.

Percy's time in Tartarus was a crucible that tested not only his physical strength, but also his moral compass. The absence of help and support forced him to confront his darkest instincts and make choices that compromised his own sense of righteousness. It was a period of profound transformation, where he lost a part of himself in the process of saving the world from the clutches of Gaia and her giants. Percy faced immense danger and temptation, and had to grapple with the moral implications of his actions. He had to make difficult decisions that were often at odds with his own moral code, and in the process was forced to break away from some of the values and beliefs he had held dear. In the end, he came out of this crucible a changed man, having paid a high price to save the world from destruction.

Hades and Poseidon were crying their eyes out. Hestia was holding her hands over her mouth with tears in her eyes. Ares cursed at his stupidity for placing the damn curse on the demigod when he was 12. Athena was trying to comprehend how Percy was alive still, as were all of the gods. Thalia and Nico were shaken at the thought of Percy going dark. The seven who did not trek through Tartarus where shaken at the thought of Percy's power. Percy refused to look at anyone and decided that he would fall asleep.

Chiron could not believe what he saw. One of his favorite students suffered in the depths of Tartarus and came out different than before and he just thought that it was the stress of two wars in a row.
