Gregor Point of view

When I came to I was in the dungeon.  I clicked and noticed that Percy and Nico were in here as well.  

"Hey," whispered to them.  Percy looked up and asked

"Is that you Gregor?"  

"Yeah," I responded.  Percy was looking at the wall confused then said

"Are the Underlanders always this mean to Overlanders?  And why did they not recognize you?"  I looked at the ground and sighed.  I was kind of wondering that myself.  Why had they not recognize me?  I haven't changed that much have I? Or is Luxa still pissed at me for leaving?

"Well, they are usually happy when an Overlander comes here.  So either they have gotten more hostile, or they have a king who hates us.  For them not knowing me. . . I can't explain that."   We sat there in silence when the door opened.  Two guards walked in and grabbed me.  They tied my hands behind my back and brought me out of the room.  

I struggled against the bonds with no avail.  

"Don't you know who I am?"  The guards looked at me questioningly.  

"I've been here before.  I saved you guys from destruction.  Ask me any questions and I will answer them." The guards looked at each other and then pushed me along.  Not even caring.  

"My name is Gregor.  I fought the Bane with Ares."  They just laughed and continued to walk.  We walked into a room in front of the council.  The same people and creatures were all there.  They beckoned me forward.   

"You have been convicted of treason against the Underlanders, with plans to destroy us," Vikus stated, sitting next to the throne

 "And, by a vote of the Underlandians council, we have decided that you are to be killed.  Along with your friends." My eyes widened in fear, and he looked at the other species, whose faces are ranged from anger to disappointment to sadness.  

"Vikus, I have done nothing of the sort," I begged.  How do they not know me?

"Evidence shows well enough," Luxa replied, raising her hand

 "Say your last words." Seeing no way out of it, I looked to the others.

"At least let me tell you who I am."  The Underlanders looked at each other and then back at me.

"Alright then, who are you?"

"I'm am a warrior. I am the one who called.  I survived the prophecy of Gray, the prophecy of Bane," I chanted, and during this, the council stared, "The Curse of the Warmbloods, the song that turned out to be prophecy.  I defeated the Bane but lost my bond Ares in the process.  I am, Gregor the Overlander."  They started shouting at each other while I stood there.

"SILENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted.

They stopped arguing for a moment and looked at me.  

"I am sorry for anything I have done to you guys. I am, I know I left, but that doesn't give you the reason to send me to the guillotine." I told them. Most looked at me with a look of disgust, except for Vikus, who jumped to the front. He had a look of sadness in his eyes, though they were followed by a look of determination, though for what, I didn't know.

I lowered my head as I prepared for the inevitable.

"The kill me."  They looked at me with anger, though some had sadness.  

"I wish to talk to the Overlander alone."  Not Gregor, just Overlander.  Everyone left the room and I walked up to her.  I stood there not knowing what to do next.  For I knew that she was married do to the ring on her finger.

"So, . . . " I said.  She looked me in the eye and said

"Why did you come back, Gregor?  And why did you bring those two other males."  She had said males like it was a bad condition.  I ignored it.

"One, I came back because I missed someone.  Two we had no one left.  As for Percy and Nico, they. . ."  Luxa gasped at the names.  

"Do you know them?" I asked curiously.  She looked at me hesitantly, then said

"Let's just say I've had some run-ins with the hero of Olympus."  I looked at her in surprise.  She already knew Percy.  But how?  She had never left the Underland, had she?  The way she had called them males, it was what Percy had said Hunters of Artemis called males, males or boys.  

"Have you left the Underland since I left?"  She looked at me hesitantly then said

"Yes, and if you wish to keep that head you will tell no one."  I gulped.  Luxa had never been this harsh.  As she started walking away she looked back at him and said

"Your child wants to meet you."  And with that, she was gone.  I just stared at the floor in surprise.  I had a child.  I jogged out of the room and followed Luxa.

"Who?"  

"You already met her.  She is that cute little half-lander you met at Mrs. Cormaci." (Spelling bad)

We walked into Luxa's chambers to see that little girl and a young boy.  

"Hey," the boy said, "My name is Gregor."  The girl walked out and punched me in the stomach.  I hunched over in surprise.  

"What was that for?"  She looked at me with so many different emotions.  The one I saw the most of was anger with a mix of love.

"You left mommy." I just looked at her.
