Perseuses POV (6 years later)


Uncle Hyperion is teaching me to fight and I am learning about battle, and other stuff. EEEEEEppp I am so excited, "We can start now Percy" Uncle said as he picked up a glowing golden blade in the arena of the fortress, I quickly ran over and jumped like a 2 year old in front of him, he pouted and  said, "You are such a child Percy"

"I am a child uncle", and uncle forced a smile.

"Well i guess we should start then, shall we" he grinned like a madman, he gave me a sword and gave it to me, it was beautiful, silver, with only one side , with engraved ancient runes on it, a wooden grip, then uncle tossed me a dagger, made of celestial bronze, imperial gold, and stygian iron, a double bladed unlike my silver sword. I picked them up, their weight, it was perfect, both of them, i could not believe it. 

"Come on lets start"

With that we started training. Over the next few months i trained with all types of wepons, from daggers to war hammers, i was a master at all of them, once I had finished mastering the last weapon that mankind knew, the bow, I asked uncle, "What happened to mommy and daddy." I said eagerly wanting to know.

His face turned from joyful and happy to unhappy and dark, he then said in an angry voice, " Your mother and father were sent to tatarus by your cruel and arrogant brothers, they were so cruel they tourtured your mother withought a second thought" he grimaced with anger and hate.

We heard a war horn signaling we were under attack we hurried to the stone walls, we looked below to a scary sight since I'm only 6 it looked scary, the hunters of artemis and Lupas pack, the werewolves were all in full shape and they all looked energized.

"Run Perseus run!!!!!" my uncle yelled only to see a volley of arrows in the sky, I ran ought of fear, when i had ran for a long time, i looked back i saw nothing at first but then i saw a flicker of movement, i quickly started to run once more, i felt a sudden pain in my stomach, the hunters were only a few feet behind me, one of them shot an arrow into my leg, i stopped as the pain was to overwhelming.

 I was kicked in the back, someone pulled me up as if about to push back down again, as i was being pulled up, 3 figures suddenly appeared and blasted everyone back and announced, "All hail Perseus, god of the tides, time, weaponry, and monsters, his sacred animals are the pegasi, symbols of power are spears, knifes, daggers, and swords!!!!" With that they flashed out the hunter stood shocked because of what just happened, my eyes felt as if they had changed.

I lurched forward as I drew my sword with hate and slashed 2 hunters in half, others quickly regaining from shock and drew their bows and as fast as they could but the arrows stopped in time as soon as they fired, they learned quickly and drew their knifes as i slashed and hacked until they were all dead but one who was older then all of them, Artemis, the goddess of hunt, she quickly stabbed me in the chest i groaned with pain then she killed me by stabbing me in the gut.
