I hum as I walk towards the beach. I haven't been this excited since that damn Felix boy came to camp.

I look at the tiny box in my hand and open it, revealing a imperial gold ring with a owl on the center and tiny diamonds entrusted on the sides. I was about to propose to Annabeth, knowing she would like the ring.

I fidgeted with the hem of my shirt, suddenly nervous. I felt something bad was gonna happen.

I finally got to the spot where Annabeth was meeting me, and I saw two figures making out. When I got closer, my heart shattered.

It was Annabeth making out with Felix.

"When are you breaking up with that Percy guy?" Felix asked between kisses.

"Today at the campfire." She responded.

I gripped the box. I let out a sob.

Annabeth pulls away from Felix and stares at me in horror. "Seaweed Brain! What are you doing here?!"

I smiled crookedly. "No reason. Its not like we agreed on meeting here today."

I looked down at the box clutched in my hand. I gently threw it to her. It made a thud as it hid the sand softly.

I gave her one more grin. A tear fell down my cheek.

"That's alright. I mean, who would want to be with a reminder of what bad luck is? It is, after all, my fault we fell into tartarus. Yeah, so, I remind you of what happened in tartarus, right? Oh well. Its alright....?" I rambled on. Tears were now falling faster. My chest hurt.

"I'll miss you, Wise Girl." I murmured and ran towards my cabin. I went inside and burst into tears.

I muffled my heartbroken screams and sobs in my pillow.

"Crybaby. I never noticed how pathetic you are." A familiar voice mocked.

I lifted my face and recoiled when I saw it was my dad. "D-dad?"

His expression hardened. "Dont call me that. Lord Poseidon is fine." He said. Then he smirked.

"I, Poseidon, god of the seas, hereby disown Perseus Achilles Jackson." He said.

Thunder boomed.

I clutched my pillow. My eyes were filled with new tears.

"Come on, Jackson. Time to go to Olympus for execution." He laughed.

---Flashback-----

I was eating lunch when suddenly I heard girl screams come from the entrance of camp.

I immediately jumped up and took out riptide. I uncapped it and saw a boy that looked about my age running from cyclopes. I advanced, reminded me they were evil, and killed them.

Suddenly, the boy grabs riptide and slams it against my head. I crumpled to the ground and hear the boy shout.

"This coward screamed and fell to the ground in fear when the cyclopes came. I had to kill them myself!!! Then this dumbass tried to kill me to take the credit!!"
Then a trident popped up over his head. Half-brother...

Everyone looked at me in disappointment, anger, and betrayal. Chiron trotted to me and kicked me and immediately I lost consciousness.

Everyday after that, people bullied me, hurt me, and spit on me. Everyone! Well, except Leo and Nico.

Annabeth stood by my side back then. Now I'm crushed.

-----Flashback over-----

Lord Poseidon teleported us back to Olympus for my trial. He shackled me in chains of celestial bronze.

There I was, in the throne room, kneeling, shackled, and betrayed.

Everyone except a few gods looked at me in distaste. The campers were there too.

"I should have never let you near my daughter," Athena growled. Annabeth cowered.

"All in favor for banishing Perseus Achilles Jackson to Tartarus?" Everyone flinched, but they raised their hands.

The only ones whose hands stayed down were Hestia, Apollo, Artermis, Hephaestus, Leo, Nico, Reyna, Rachel, and the Hermes Twins, Connor and Travis.

"Then its decided. Perseus shall be banished to Tartarus for all eternity for attempted murder and betrayal. My spies told me he's working for Gaea and Kronos." Zeus announced. Everyone gasped.

Zeus was about to strike me with his bolt, but waited. "Any last words, Hero?"

I grinned crazily. He stepped back a little. "I will be back, Zeus. And this time, it will be me striking you with lightning. Be ready."

He frowned but yelled and lightning struck me. I tried not to scream, but it was really powerful. I let out a pained moan.

I heard Rachel scream. "No! Percy!"

Then I was gone.

I opened my eyes and saw how horrible tartarus still was.

Tears build up in my eyes. When I die, I won't go to Elysium. I will always rot here in the pit.

I felt a presence behind me.

"Well, hello there...." Said a raspy voice.

I turned around and took out riptide. What I saw was beyond ugly.

Uglier than Gabe Ugliano.

Lol just kidding, nothing can be uglier than Gabe.

It was Kronos.

"Finally.... I get to have revenge on the sea spawn.",
He gurgled.

He chants something, and I felt a bit more powerful.

"I made it so you can't die, so I can torture you for all eternity." He said. Then he chanted something and I was knocked out.

---Time skip----

When I finally woke up, I saw that I was laid eagle spread on a metal table, torture tools on each side and the walls. I shuddered.

Kronos came in and smirked. "Finally awake? Huh.",

He snapped his fingers and suddenly, all the titans except for Bob were there.

"Gentlemen, here is our torturing toy. Release all your anger onto him, he can't die." He said.

The titans cheered. Then they got started.

It lasted exactly 739 years of torture. It took me 739 years to finally say, "enough."

One day after torture, I broke the ropes tying me down and even though I was weak, I still managed to defeat the titan king. I killed all the titans on the way out, wanting my freedom.

I never felt so happy to see Tartarus.

"Perseus Jackson."

Huh?
