3#: Alive.

~"Alive" by Sia up there! Enjoy♡~

*Percy's P.O.V.*

I opened my eyes. A bright light unable me to see anything at all, but then I realised it wasn't a light, it was a roof. I was lying on the floor of an empty white -glowing room. Wherever I looked, I just saw emptyness. Nothing but a white wall. I was confused. The last thing I remembered was standing in the Throne Room and...

I remembered. Tears filled my eyes. I was accussed of the murder of my parents. Then, I saw Mark holding the master bolt in my direction before everything went black.

I thought of it for a moment, pushing away the memories of my parents. Did Mark-Jerk attacked me? Was I dead?

I stared at my hands and checked the rest of my body. Nothing. I didn't see any wounds or anything, but I did feel a little bit.. Out of place. Maybe because I was in a foreign room, I don't know.

Suddenly, a woman appeared infront of me. She had pale skin and wore a simple white dress, though her hair and eyes were a mixture of blue, pink and purple. Then I realized that they showed a galaxy, because I could see tiny white and glowing dots on the space, moving around it.

"Hello Perseus", the woman said, snapping me out of the trance her appearance produced. "I don't expect you to know who I am due to the fact that we never met before. At least, you have never seen me."

I tried to imagine who she could be, but came to nothing. "Where am I? And who are you?"

The woman let a small giggle out. "Calm down, you're okay. A few minutes ago, your soul was taken away from your body after the lightning bolt of Zeus hit you"

My eyes open wide. "You mean.. I died?"

"I prefer not to use the word die, but yes, you could say that" The lady explained. "I've been watching you for a while, learning about your lifestyle and your exploits, until I saw the moment of your death. You died so unfairly, that I decided to bring you here".

I stared into her eyes. "Where exactly is 'here'?"

She looked around before she continued. "This is a place between life and death, you could call it a limbo. So, me having you here is the only thing keeping you out of the Underworld"

"But why don't you let me go? I could go and search for my parents", I said, blocking away my tears.

"Certainly, you could", the woman said. "But I have an offer for you".

I looked at her, suspicious. "What kind of offer?"

"I can give you a second chance", she said. "You died for no fair reasons, just because a kid was playing with his daddy's toy", she said joking. "I can bring you back to life, and you could live in my kingdom, be the prince of it, command an army, whatever you like"

I thought of it. That sounded pretty awesome. But to every wish, there's a price. "What do I have to do in return?"

The lady looked sad for a second, but then returned to her peaceful expresion. "No-one knows this, not even the Olympian gods. What I am about to tell has been a secret for millennia." She made a pause before starting to talk again. "The universe, to exist, has to be balanced. It requires two powers for this. The Darkness, and The Light. Without each other, the universe couldn't exist. It would be impossible to find balance without one of this elements. This powers grow inside someone's body, but first, the host has to accept them. Don't misunderstand me. The Darkness and the Light are not a being that posesses someone, they are just a force, a power. But they can be dangerous if you can't cope with them. The host has to keep it's power under control. If you manage to take it as a part of your body, then you would be very powerful."
