Aftermath

The encounter

Percy's POV

*Dream*

I was in a room chained to a bed . I looked around and saw that everything in here looked expensive. It was beautifully decorated. It had sea green walls. The bed was a queen sized bed. It had a canopy. The curtains were dark red and the ceiling had beautiful shiny chandeliers. It also had beautiful greek statues with inscriptions. Some in ancient Greek and others in a more foreign  language which I presumed to be the old tongue. "Wow. Where am I?" I asked

"In my palace" OK I don't know where he came from or who he is.

As if reading my mind he said "I've been watching you from here and I'm order. Also yes I'm reading your mind."

"What do you want?" I glared at him.

"Isn't it obvious?" I looked at him confused. What is he talking about?

"I want you. I've kept tabs on you for a while. And I have to say I'm impressed. You are not only beautiful but also independent and a force to be reconned with in battle. You are absolutely perfect and you are going to be mine. I will make sure of that. You are about to wake up so remember this. We will meet in the flesh soon. Very soon.

I woke up to the sound of a shower. Opening my eyes, I felt like someone wanted to burn them.

"Someone tell Apollo to stop smiling." A chuckle reached my ears.

I turned to see Kronos resting on the door frame of my bathroom.

"Finally you're awake. I thought I'd have to throw you in the sea to wake you up." Though he tried to hide it, I still saw the look of relief on his face.

"Aww, you missed me." I smirked.

"There was no one to stop my brothers from annoying me to death and Poseidon has been nagging me for the past three days."

"Wait a minute. Did you say three days? I've been asleep for three days? Dammit, so what did I miss?" I asked.

"We interrogated them but we couldn't get much from them." Kronos said looking unhappy about that fact.

"What did you manage to get."

"James was the only one who responded and he said and I quote ' he is coming and he will have his bride. No one will stop him. The sea Prince is his '. I don't understand what he was saying. Who is 'he'? and which sea Prince? Is it you or Triton? What bride is he talking about?" Kronos looked lost and worried.

I chewed by bottom lip, looking at anywhere except Kronos.

"You know something don't you?" Kronos accused.

"I had a dream. And it may be our lead." I told him not comfortable with the stare he was giving me.

I recalled the dream and told him everything. To say Kronos was seething was the understatement of the year.
