The Dark Side of the Moon

Chapter 6

Planet Tiphon

Previously...

As I looked at Chaos I asked what was on the tip of everyone's tongue,

"Lord Chaos who is this ancient being you speak of?"

Chaos looked at the ground with his eyes closed as he slowly tilted his head and locked eyes with mine and spoke,

"My brother... Havoc, Primordial God of Gravity".

Now...

Percy's POV

I pulled my sword from Nico's chest as he struggled to catch his breath. Falling face first to the ground, as I approached Nico's body I rolled him over onto his back to see his face. Only to realize that it wasn't Nico anymore. This man had tan skin, blue eyes and brown hair. The guards that brought him into the throne room quickly moved to where the body was and removed it from the throne room.

"What is this." I asked quietly to Havoc as I tried to comprehend what has happened. Havoc started to explain,

"I exposed you to a hallucinogenic herb that alters the way you perceive things. Most of the time you see loved ones such as friends and family. Who did you see young Perseus?" Havoc looked at me expectantly before I turned to face him, but I stayed silent still trying to wrap my head around what just happened. Havoc shrugged his shoulders and said,

"Very well I must commend you on doing what needs to be done. Not many people have the strength to overcome the hallucinogen." I nodded my head in agreement. Havoc noticed my silence.

"Listen Perseus I needed to know that you could do what was necessary for the cause. I need to know that when I send you back to your home planet that the those gods won't try to mislead you to joining their side in the war that is soon to come." I turned to face Havoc and kneeled at his throne.

"Lord Havoc I believe I am ready for the next assignment you have for me." I stated with confidence. Havoc looked down at me and smiled. He rose from his throne and walked over to me, and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"My commander you have made me proud. I could not ask for a better person to lead my troops on a march to exact our revenge. Now rise I will now give you your full powers as commander of my army." I rose to my feet as he kept his hand on my shoulder as I started to feel the power rolling off of him into my body and all of a sudden this enormous amount of pain spread through my body as I could feel it trying to adjust to my new powers. I started seeing dots around me like I was about to pass out as I struggled to stay in consciousness.

As Havoc took his hand off of my shoulder I immediately dropped to the ground unconscious as the pain successfully took over.

3rd person POV

Havoc called for a few doctors to come into the throne room, after a few minutes they appeared and saw Percy lying on the floor unconscious.

"Take young Perseus to the infirmary to recover as his body is trying to adjust to the new amount of power that it contains." The doctors nodded quickly as a few servants helped them get Percy onto the gurney and taken to the infirmary room.

Small line break

Percy woke up to the white walled infirmary to the sounds of beeping machines around him saying that he was still alive occasionally some doctors would come by and check on his condition to see if anything has changed, but Percy could tell that something felt different. He could feel the power that havoc gave him flow throughout his body. He felt the presence of others outside of his room, but before he could speak he heard one of them whisper.
