Hey, it's Arkyz again, with another chapter of Reading Monster Shifter. I'm quickly going to answer a few questions you guys have asked, before we get on with the story.

Matt (Guest): I have been talking with Hans50, and he is hoping to update soon and is working on new chapters for both Monster Shifter and Betrayed Son of the Sea.

Son of Tyche: Thanks, I hope you enjoy this as much as I do writing it!

SkyRamoth: Well, here you go! :P

Monkey dragon (Guest): Thanks man! I'm not sure how often I will be updating, as I have a tendency to write as I get ideas, rather than writing for a particular story constantly. For example, I haven't started writing a new chapter for Hunter's Assassin yet, but I've started a new story, cause I thought of an interesting plotline. So we will see, but I'm hoping I will update this once a week, if not more often.

Anyway, now the questions have been answered, let's get going with the story!

Last time:

'Well, I guess I can do the name, parentage, title thing now. My name is Perseus Jackson, son of Bob, or Iapetus, whichever you prefer, and husband of Artemis. Now before a fight breaks out, let's read, I want to get back to my kids.'

Another five minutes passed with everyone still staring at Perseus. 'Ummmmm, Can we read yet?' Perseus said, snapping the people gathered out of their shock. The Fates laughed slightly before flashing away.

Athena quickly opened the book to the first page, and cleared her throat. 'Welcome to Hell.'

Now:

Tartarus. The very definition of Hell. The place where monsters go when they die to reform. A dungeon of torment and suffering, filled with the wicked creatures of the planet. The Prison for the most foul and evil beings in the world. The prison for traitors, rapists, murderers, and the enemies of the gods. The prison of the Titans. The prison of the Giants.

The demigods began shaking as memories from the wars flooded back into their minds.

The prison of the once Hero of Olympus. The prison of the being formerly known as Perseus Jackson.

Athena paused for just half a second. 'WHAT?!' the demigods and Poseidon yelled.

'Why are you down there son?' Poseidon asked Percy. In reply, Percy simply shrugged his shoulders, too shocked to speak.

'You went back there?' Leo asked hesitantly.

'I didn't, but he obviously did,' Percy said, pointing towards Perseus, which caused the questions to be asked at him as well. Said questions were pointedly ignored.

For one hundred years, Percy has been rotting away in this hellhole. The poisonous air scorches his lungs, burns his skin, and stings his eyes. The ground made of jagged rocks and broken glass tears his flesh on his feet as he traverses the endless plains of the dreary landscape. Rivers of magma flow through the black and barren landscape where no life grows. The very place was malevolent, worming its way into his mind and beginning to eat away at the walls of his sanity. He has seen horrors in this place that make the Fields of Punishment seem like a day at the beach.

Nico and Thalia let out small sobs at hearing what had happened to their pseudo-brother, and quickly ran over to Perseus and enveloped him in a hug.

Scores of monsters reside within the pit with him. Many have tried to kill him, but he had to always flee, for he knew the consequences should he kill one of them. What would happen to him if he were forced to kill any monster he crossed paths with?
