Unbreakable Bond

Chapter Four

With a bonfire on the beach, Percy sits comfortably on a log with Kronos watching intimately out of curiosity or not nobody would know.

Kronos wouldn't call what he was doing stalking, he'd call it gathering information without the others knowledge. Some people (Percy) would beg to differ. He continued to peer through the foliage as Percy stared with glazed eyes towards the spitting fire. Kronos couldn't describe those eyes; the sea and the storms that it brought enraptured within a pair of emotional eyes? Close.. But not good enough.

See, the reason Kronos was following Perseus was because he was surprised- albeit unsettled- about how calmly he handled Hyperion's bout of anger. Conclusion after conclusion clouded the Titan of Time's mind, but the one theory that kept flashing before his molten eyes was that the man had more power than he let on, this worried Kronos... He didn't like not knowing things.

Percy was an enigma, a breath of fresh air and Kronos had decided that he would be on Kronos' side whether he wanted to be or not. He had a suspicious amount of power coursing through his ichor (Kronos knew exactly what the boy was, he had the ability to determine very quickly the ranking of an immortal through the amount of strength they held.) He knew that he was related to Percy whether by blood or ties and he was ever so curious to find out whether it was the former or the latter. He wondered what his mother would do if she came in contact with Perseus, but his thoughts were interrupted by a soft voice with an almost teasing lilt that made his eye twitch.

"You know, for the King I'd have expected more to your ability to conceal yourself as I know you've been standing there. You can actually join me if you'd like, it's not like I can't handle myself if you decide to attack me?" He added a light laugh to the end of his words as he couldn't for the life of him word correctly as he was asking whether the King was a threat or not. "And I had expected more dress sense than that of a royal!"

Kronos chuckled, a deep and rich sound that filled the area around him and Percy was sure it would have turned heads if he was in public around people as Kronos acted like he owned the place (which he practically does). "It's more practical to dress like this instead of donning all the glamorous products I own, don't you think?" He stepped out of the foliage and sat against the bench opposite of Percy with a raised brow. Once he had gotten comfortable he leant closer to the flames licking at the sky to get a better view, all while his eyes began to glow even more golden as the light reaches his eyes.

Percy looked at the faint smoke fluttering up into the starry sky, the stars winking at him while his eyes were raised towards them, it was if they were guarding him from the dangers of the night. He sighed, "I wouldn't know, I don't go stalking random people who I don't even know nor pick unnecessary fights or witness my siblings do so either, It's not my style I'm afraid." Fuck, he gave himself away.

"You have siblings, how strange," The Lord of Time smirked, "My brother isn't as inconspicuous as he thinks, older brother."
Percy swore.
