Kronos' POV
I pull Percy into a dream and we immediately get to work. We really need to focus on him getting everything under control because when I fade my powers are going to go crazy despite having a new holder. With him being on Olympus during the summer solstice we definitely cannot have that happening. He doesn't get to die because of me.
The truth is, I've grown attached to Percy in my few weeks with him. I feel like he's much like me, and I understand him. Seeing the world through his perspective is definitely interesting. Despite him being the most looked up to person of the time, he always has an overwhelming feeling of guilt built up in him. Probably because of me.
In all honesty, I do feel bad for what I have put him through. Not just him, all of them. My longing for power clouded my judgement as I deliberately put a bunch of children in danger. All because my children have what I don't.
For that I am sorry.
Percy's POV
~~Dream~~
I'm sitting in front of Kronos playing a game of chess and subconsciously using my powers as we perfect the final things with the powers. Everything that I need to know I have learned and semi-perfected in a span of 14 days. Do I feel confident that none of the gods will notice odd behavior in a few days? Absolutely not.
I would be crazy if I thought that I could stay under the radar of every single god. Especially Athena. She noticed when a single book from her library is missing, and she has thousands of books. She will definitely notice something, but I'm not entirely sure if she'll point it out or not.
Me and Kronos talk about what's going to happen the days leading up to the solstice, and we decided that I have enough control to try some stuff outside of dreams, and not gain the attention of anyone. Hopefully. After this conversation, Kronos sends me off into a dreamless sleep for the rest of the night.
~~ Dream ends~~
I woke up a little later than usual making me late for breakfast. I don't hurry to get ready as I can just say I woke up late, and stroll out of my cabin shortly after breakfast ends. I see all my friends sitting at the beach, and I jog over there. I sit down next to Hazel effectively scaring her.
"Gods of Olympus, Percy! You scared me!" She says landing a hit on my arm
"Sorry." I say through laughs
"Where were you earlier?" Jason asks eyeing me
"I overslept." I say
"Dreams?" Annabeth asks
"Flashbacks." I lie
"Of what?" Nico asks
"Past quests. You know the labyrinth, sea of monsters, that one time I decapitated Medusa." I say
"Why are you do good at lying?" Kronos asks
"I've been doing it for a long time." I answer
"Oh. At least it's not dreams of a new prophecy." Annabeth says "That whole time slowing thing was weird."
