Lost in the pit

The pit

"Perseus, get up." A dark deep voice called through my dreamless sleep. Wait! Sleep!? Am I not dead? I shot up and immediately regretted it as a pain stabbed it's way up my entire back.

"Calm down. Yes you are alive, but I need you to lie back down." I obeyed quickly without protest. I hit the soft mattress once again and let out a shaky breath.

"Where am I?...How am I alive?...Who are you?" I asked weakly, all of sudden tired again. The figure chuckled.

"I am Perses, Titan of destruction. You are in Tartarus and we saved you from the monsters." Well then....that was unexpected. There was no point in me trying to fight, I was just too weak. Plus he did kind of save my life.

"Who's 'we'?" I asked. The dark surrounding suddenly flooded with a dim red light. In it's presents I could see two figures. One was tall...extremely tall. About 6'8 with long black hair pulled into a short ponytail. He had a dark armour on and a black sword sheathed at his waist. His face was military yet, he held a mischievous glint in his red eyes.

The other guy was slightly shorter, his head just coming up to the first's shoulder. He had a mop of blonde hair and deeply tanned skin. He was wearing a traditional bronze armour and had a half bronze half steel sword at his waist. His eyes locked onto mine and my breathing stopped.

"Luke! What the hell!?" Luke stepped back his half gold, half blue eyes widdening.

"Percy, Kronos isn't that bad. The only reason I killed myself in Manhattan was because I knew what he had planned for you and Annabeth, and I didn't like it." My adrenalin allowed me to sit up without feeling the pain. I looked his squarely in the eye, trying to figure him out.

"So, are you possessed now? Do you want to kill me yourself? Overthrow Olympus? What!?" I asked, my anger and voice rising. Luke sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Non of those. When I came back I inherited some of Kronos' power. With Gaea rising the Titans and Primordials are getting worried. Kronos, Perses and Tartarus saved you and are going to train you on how to end Gaea once and for all." He said, still looking aprehensive. I checked his face over and he looked sincere. Smiling I stood and gripped him in a hug.

"It's good to have you back Lu." He chuckled and hugged me back tightly. He was still, annoyingly, a head hight taller than me. His whole body was just a lot bigger and more muscular than mine.

"Well, if you two are done we can get on with your blessings." Me and Luke jumped apart at the voice of Perses. I looked to Luke and saw he was...is he blushing? Wait, blessings?

"What do you mean blessings?" I asked. Perses just rolled his eyes.

"What I mean is, that to defeat Gaea, your gonna need a lot more power than you have now." With that he shot a black beam of light at me. When the pain had subsidded, I felt like I could lift all of Olympus without breaking a sweat.

"My blessing gives you super strength and super speed. Now come, the other Primordials need to bless you."
