Chapter 9 Reading Trapped in the Past

"The past cannot be changed, forgotten, edited, or erased; it can only be ACCEPTED." -quotes hunter

Krios opened the book and began to read, it would tell the Titan's secrets, everything, but it couldn't be changed, Fate had allowed the past to read the future, nothing would be the same, but Percy was there brother now, they fight for what their king believes in, to the death if need be....

Leo was sure he was hallucinating. It just wasn't possible that a drakon – a monster, of all things – could have smashed through the wall of the cells and buries the Titan King. It wasn't possible that Bob had been riding it. It definitely wasn't possible that Annabeth was dead.

At the end of that sentence everyone was quiet, even Louis, who was reading.

"I can't believe I am dead...." Annabeth said and looked down, looking up Annabeth saw Kronos watching her, his eyes unreadable, but he shook his head and turned away.

"What was that?!" Annabeth thought.

Bob hummed to himself as he studied the pile of rocks that Kronos was currently buried under. "I give it no more than five minutes before he gets out," he turned to the demigods, "so I would hurry if I were you. The Maeonian Drakon won't wait."

There was silence for several more moments as the demigods stared at Bob, feeling their adrenaline rushes run out and sagging as their tiredness caught up to them. "Hold up a minute," Leo said as he held a hand up, "you disappeared, and left us on our own to fight Mr. Time over there," he waved in the general direction of Kronos, " just to find a friendly drakon?"

"That is kind of dumb," Leo said and

Bob rubbed the back of his neck, "Uh, yes."

"Brother, brother brother...." Oceanus grinned and was about to open his mouth to speak again when a bright flash of light interrupted him.

A lioness and a child stood there, the kid had bright green eyes and he exclaimed when he saw Hyperion.

"Lee," Kronos spoke.

"Yes-"a warning look from the titans and the child clamped his mouth shut.

"Where is your father?"

"Daddy is home with uncle Koios," lee said, and the lioness growled and the titan king nodded.

Leo nodded, "Ok. My brain feels dead."

Thalia looked over at Percy, seeing how his eyes seemed dead and lifeless as he stared at the body of Annabeth. "Kelp Head," she called as she quickly walked over, "are you ok?"

"I think you should define ok for him, Thals," Jason said as he too came over.

"He killed her," Percy mumbled, still staring at Annabeth, "stabbed her."

Thalia frowned as she scanned him over, noting the dozens of cuts and scars littering his body. Her eyes landed on his right forearm and narrowed slightly as she made out a letter. Percy turned his arm away so she couldn't see.

"Percy, what's on your arm?" Thalia asked.

Percy flinched back and swallowed thickly, choosing to not answer, and instead stare blankly at her. The pile of rubble where Kronos was buried shifted slightly, causing rocks to start a small avalanche. "Leo!" Jason called, "Think you can break into the cell?"

"Breaking into things is my specialty," Leo said as he fished a few gadgets out of his tool belt and set to work on the lock.

Thalia immediately turned away from the cell and made her way to Annabeth. The remaining demigods were all crowding around her in a circle and Thalia managed to shove her way through them to kneel at her little sister in all but blood's side. "Annie," she murmured as she saw the mortal wound.
