Perseus Riddle *REWRITING*

Chapter 25

I would really love it if you guys would take a look at my best friends story, Fallen Avian. PaintedPanda14 has been working on it for a long time. Spoiler alert: I hate Lucas. On with the show!!

3rd POV

Perseus ran a hand down his face as he tried to control his emotions. He bhad just spoken to Tyson in what felt like was years, but something was off. Not with Tyson, but with where he was. Camp-Half Blood had a strange foreboding feeling that Perseus could feel through the IM.

He couldn't quite put his finger on it but something was off. It was as if the water was trying to tell him something even though he is no longer its son.

The waves moved in a silent manner, one that made it seem like it was still, but Perseus know that pattern. It was the same one that was shown to him before he fell into Tartarus, it was the same one he saw before he fought Kronos, the same wave pattern that water gave to him before every bad moment.

Well every bad one except for three, his banishment, his disownment, and the death of his family.

His mind raced with questions. Why would the water ignore him on three separate occasions? What could be so bad that he was, was again, warned of something terrible?

He shook the questions away and looked down at the peaceful sleeping raccoon in his arms. She kept talking to him while he was busy with Tyson but ad soon as he cut the IM she curled up and passed out. He couldn't move an inch for fear of waking up μαγεία.

He turned his head to stare at the Bowtruckle he had yet to name. The Bowtruckle stared back as he swung in his little hammock. "I suppose it's time to find you a name, isn't it?"

He just tilted his head in response and  kicked his little legs to gain more speed as he swung.

"I'm going to say names and you will decide if you like it."

He stopped swinging and looked towards Perseus to give him his full attention.

"Ok, now how about, Timmy?"

He rapidly shook his head. "Okay, not a fan of Timmy. What about the name Miles?"

He stuck his tongue out.

"I've got it, Dominic."

Nope.

"Stick."

Didn't like it.

"Leafy."

That one got Perseus a piece of Bowtruckle food thrown at him. He leaned back on the bed, still mindful of his sleeping familiar, and threw an arm over his eyes. "I'm all out of ideas. Let's pick this up later after I've had some sleep, maybe a little time to not get bothered by people."

The Bowtruckle agreed, he was done with listening to all of his stupid name ideas. He layed down in his hammock and started to sway gently before drifting off to sleep.

Perseus let out a sigh before gently lifting μαγεία out of his lap and into his pillow. He then got up and walked to his bag full of his school stuff. He dug around before pulling out a book, a book titled Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, he glanced at the description before going to the wall opposite of his bed. He slid down into a sitting position and opened the book. He flipped through the pages until he found the one he wanted.

Dragons.

Perseus needed to learn more about Dragons. They have something to do with the MacDougal family and since he is now Lord MacDougal, he should learn more about them and what they mean to his family.

He skimmed the boring stuff such as 'are dangerous if not handled correctly' and 'should not attempt to tame'. But what caught his eye was the fact that most Dragons are extinct. In fact, most don't even exist anymore, they were killed off thousands of years ago. The creature that are called Dragon's today are actually descendents of Dragons.

True Dragons were able to form a connection with wizards, also known as becoming a Familiar. True Dragons were larger, stronger, and much more powerful. Dragons are also wiser than any other existing creature, which is why in mist stories Merlin would get his advice from a Dragon.

But Dragons don't exist anymore, instead Wyverns do but most people don't know that. Nearly everyone thinks that Wyverns are Dragons and that's because none were around when Dragons roamed the Earth.

Perseus closed the book after reading for an hour about Dragons. He looked at the pictures, trying to see the differences between Dragons and Wyverns. Soon he was able to just glance at one and tell which it was. He then closed his eyes and started to sift through his memories until he found the one he needed. Xalryn.

He compared their forms and confirmed that he looked more like a Dragon than a Wyvern but for some reason he wasn't exactly like a Dragon. It's like Xalryn is a Dragon but he also isn't. Xalryn is also able to form a connection with Perseus but not a Familiar connection. He is able to speak to Perseus through a mental link but he isn't Perseus' Familiar.

It was as if he is a totally different species. But the book only mentioned Dragons and Wyverns, it didn't day anything about creatures who are extremely similar to Dragons but aren't.

Perseus knew he would need to do some research, but when he went to school. Hogwarts would have a library, all schools do. Besides if he went to the library in this house be would be monitored constantly to make sure he wasn't researching 'dark magic.

But if you don't want to have someone researching certain things then why keep them in a library?

Perseus gently set the book on the floor before curling up under his blankets. He knew he wouldn't be able to sleep so he dug around his pockets until his hands touched something.

He pulled out a silver chain with the ring Tyson made him. He contemplated opening the pictures to remeber all the happy times he had, but he knew he wasn't ready to see the faces of some people.

He knew he would break down. He knew a small piece of him would shatter. He just knew.

So he put it back into his pocket to be looked at when he was ready. Ready to see their faces and laugh at the fun times and to smile at that happiness he used to have, that care free happiness that he just doesn't possess anymore.

So theirs chapter 25, I actually never thought I would get past chapter 10 but here I am. So i have a updating schedual now! I will be updating 1 to 2 times a week. It will either be on Friday night or Sunday night. Oh and like I said before, one of my best friends, PaintedPanda14 is writing a story, an original might I add, and I've been following it since 7th grade but now Panda is changing everything! I don't know what's gonna happen! But I do know that I hate Lucas so I will be commenting that a lot on your story Panda! And my other best friend MomoAngel257 is also writing an original! I too am writing an original so if for some reason I don't update on my new schedual it's probably because im focusing on that. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter! See you next week!
