Percy Jackson is The shadows

Ugh

The next morning I woke up at 2 and started working on what Nemesis taught me. I slowly started to pick up everything in my room starting with my pencil on my desk then slowly working my way up till the only thing not floating surrounded by a red aura was me. I then made my bed and put my clothes away and did all my other chores. Then I slowly started to fold one leg and I went to fold the other when my alarm went off signaling it was time to get dressed. I sorted through all my floating clothes and picked out a dark blue shirt with wings slits and a pair of dark jeans. I then proceeded to float a few inches off the ground till I reached my door. I yawned before opening it and then started making my way to the training room. When I reached the room I had two minutes before three and Clotho was sitting in the middle of the room.

"Good job Perseus, you were on time. Now, I am teaching you to spin threads of life.Do you understand?" I took a deep breath.

"No." Clotho groaned. She waved her hand and a chair appeared in front of her and a bucket of string in between the two chairs.

"Sit Perseus." SO I did and then stared at her."This is a few of the strands I spin. These of course are not real. The pink stands for love, the blue for heart ache, the grey for sorrow, the green for envy, the red for pain, the purple for fear, the yellow for happiness, tan for relaxation, the black for anger, the orange for intelligence,deep purple for patience, deep green for kindness, silver for leadership, bright blue for birth, and finally the white for death. Now, my job is to pick the strings for one person and thread them all into a single strand. These do not set strict patterns or deaths just what will happen in general. Each string however is made from one long string that I weave and just add to what's there for each person. Do you understand now?" I nodded thoughtfully.

"I think so. What you are saying is you decide how much pain, sorrow, love, joy and all that a person has but not how they receive it or when." Clotho nodded happily.

"Exactly, I just say it will be there and then Lachesis decide- wait no sorry she will tell you later. But you are correct. Now, if a person were to have a destiny to be a CEO they would need what?" I thought then looked at the bucket of mismatched strings in front of me.

"They would need wisdom," I said as I picked up two orange threads." patience," Three deep purple threads."leadership skills," I picked up three silver threads." kindness," I picked up a few deep green threads." and happiness." I picked up a few yellow strings but paused after I had them.

"What is it Perseus? You are not wrong." I looked at her before shaking my head.

"But i'm not right. This is all so nice that it has nothing bad. There has to be bad to balance good." Clotho nodded and gestured back to the bucket.

"What else would they need?" I thought for a second before grabbing some deep blue string.

"They fell in love at one point and it didn't work out and they got their heart broken." I grabbed some grey threads."They felt so much sorrow they threw themselves into their work." I then grabbed some pink threads."They came to love their work very much." I then grabbed black threads."They get angry when others don't love their work the same." I then grabbed some red threads."They feel pain when they are looked down on for their ideas." I grabbed a few purple threads."And they are terrified that they will lose their work, their love, to an upstart." I looked at the threads before I grabbed a white thread."They eventually die after years of work and dedication." I looked to Clotho and handed her all the strings before grabbing a bright blue string and handing it to her.

"Good job Perseus. You are correct. For this woman." I looked at her in shock. I could not put that on someone it was so much work and no tan threads, which means she never relaxes. I wanted to take the thread back and never let her live that life." I know child, you want to give her better." My head shot up and my eyes were wide at the fact that she knew what I was thinking.
