Reading Confused By Time

Chapter 22: Reading Missed

Percy had known his glamour's would fall, had felt it, but had done nothing, he knew he would have to show himself soon. He just hadn't known it was going to be now, so he would deal with it and bear it. But he had been born with ADHD and one of the many perks of being a demigod was to expect the unexpected. Kronos had also taught him many things, sure the king had been torturing him, but they also were lessons. Lessons on sword fighting, verbal, to survive poison, to survive a man hunt. 

Zeus was on his feet in an instant, his master bolt crackling and the sound of thunder could be heard. The god reminded him of those cartoons he watched a long time ago; though he would never say that to his uncles face.

"YOU CHOSE TO BECOME A TITAN?!" Zeus roared his master bolt loud and echoed in the room. Even when the damned god was yelling in his face, making Percy want to snap sense into the god, that not everything revolved around him. 

Percy brought Tsunami up, they clashed and Percy grinned, now was time to show his powers, it was going to be epic. Both fought, Percy defending himself against the god, and the god with anger. 

Yes Percy maybe his nephew but he did not handle betrayal well.  

With a jump backwards Percy brought his sword round and they clashed, Percy using his powers as Zeus made it loud and thunderous, his anger seeping into the air, making it smell like ozone. 

Even in the sword fight  Percy couldn't help but think that the bolt sounded a bit like a lightsabre, it was koosh szoo. alive longer then him, didn't mean he knew everything. Percy had learned from the best. Kronos.

Learned some of his powers. 

As Zeus swung the sword they danced a bit back and fourth, grunting with effort, or with anger at not besting the other. Finally they drew blood, Zeus had flung his lightening at him, hit his cheek.

Percy fell, and Zeus went to tower  over his nephew.

'Now'  Percy said looking at Kronos.

The king smirked and slowed time down for the god and flung his powers out. 

with a bright light Zeus was shoved backwards, shouting out as he hit the wall, Ares rushing up behind to help, Atlas walked over to Kronos' left side and stood there, sword drawn but not up. 

the gods stood up, their weapons drawn and pointing to Percy and the crew of titans. Said Titan rolled his eyes, stood up and motioned to Kronos. The older stood, pushed his hands outward and all the gods were pushed back into their seats. 

Poseidon had drawn his Trident when he saw Zeus walk towards his son, but a look and he had sat down, his son was old enough to fight his battles, and yes he might be with Kronos and he could totally see them talking to each other through the Titan mind link. 

He saw Iapetus wince in pretend disgust at whatever they were talking about.

"Now, no need to get antsy, lets all sit down and listen to the damned book," Kronos said, he waved his arms and summoned all the demigods, and his army in, he stepped back and sat on his throne. "Aphrodite can read." Kronos sneered, tossing the book to the startled goddess who laughed and began to read in an excited kind of tone. 

"We've got to go after them!" Thalia exclaimed. "How hard can it be?"

"Never say that on a Quest, because everything can go wrong," Annabeth muttered and decided to ignore the looks she got from her fellow demigods. "especially with Percy." she added angrily.
