Poseidon POV
What has my son become? He is so much more ruthless and violent than he used to be I can't get the picture of him killing Tristan out of my mind. Murdering him. Granted he was a selfish jerk with a black hole of a heart, but no one deserves to be murdered in cold blood like that.
The other thing I can't forget is how he used to look before his heart was broken. Percy was happy, fun to be around. Maybe a little moody sometimes but it's understandable considering what he went through. Now he's a killer without a conscience.
A murder without a conscience is not as dangerous as someone who does though. The one without will not hesitate to kill someone; they get their job done no matter the cost.
But with a person who does, each death is another bite out of their soul. They might pity the victim and let them live, thus defying orders. Not to mention that the victim might revert to their ways of evil. That's how my son used to be. He tried to save every living being unless it was absolutely necessary for them to die. The Ophiotaurus is a good example. The beast could've destroyed Olympus because of one person, but he grew attached and I was forced to back him up. I think he has a bigger soft spot for animals versus humans. Animals can't break your heart.
If I could go back in time to save him from what he was to be, I would. But then who would save us when the war came? Chaos doesn't have anyone else as powerful as him, right? For all we know he's hiding thousands of assassins and is only pretending that Percy is the only one.
"And then I heard someone say from behind me, 'What have you done?'"
Huh? What'd I miss? I need to pay attention more. Why is everyone staring with such rapt attention at Percy? I really want to talk to him alone. Maybe his father can bring his love back. But maybe that daughter of Hades, Bianca, might do the job for me.
One thing is for sure, I pity Annabeth Chase if she manages to make Perseus mad again.
