CHAPTER 1
Luke
I could feel my body existing through Kronos. My body felt pained; as if choosing to side with Kronos had affected my Fate. The snip of the yarn Percy Jackson witnessed was my life and I knew it. My life was tangled; I could not stop loving Annabeth like a little sister and I could not get over the fact I poisoned Thalia’s tree. Don’t get me wrong, I still hate my Dad. I still remember that day, mom having her usual fits, the house surrounded by monsters… Kronos could feel my conflicting emotions, and then suddenly he, well I, stiffened.
‘The telkhinessss report. Percy Jackson and Charlesss Beckendorf are on the ssship in the engine room.’ A dracaenae hissed.
‘It’s about time. Our spy has been correct. Send more telkhines down to meet them, as well as our little surprise. Maybe more dracaenae, laistrygonian giants and hellhounds too.’
Somewhere deep down, I knew I was being used by Kronos. I didn’t realize he was going to use my body. All I understood was that by doing it I would get to see revenge to the gods..but not through someone else. Our deal was that by joining him, I would get to lead a good army of monsters and help throw the Olympians and see them to where I want. Nothing was mentioned that he would use his body. He promised that I would be alive, and I knew time was running out. I was reluctant to dip in the River Styx. I wasn’t sure if I had enough memories to keep me pulled to the mortal world… but of course, I was wrong. A memory of me, Annabeth and Thalia, promising to be a family. The fact that Kronos broke our promise had left me broken, not sure which side I should support…
‘No. Don’t send the crab.’ I croaked. I did it for Annabeth’s sake, I knew she liked Percy Jackson.
The dracaenae looked at me with distaste, and ignored me.
‘Are you okay, my lord?’
I felt Kronos trying to take control of my body, stretching his fingers..
‘Don’t ask me that or else I will freeze you in time! It just takes a little adjusting to..’
‘My lord, the boy ascendssss up towardsss usss. Would you like to go down and meet him?’
‘Of course. I have a little talking to do.’
Kronos took control of my body again, this time we moved towards the stairs, out the door.. I felt myself smile.
‘Come forward. If you dare.’
Percy uncapped his pen, and his sword Riptide appeared. I felt myself hole a 6 foot long scythe, and Percy looked scared. Kronos slowed time down, Percy was moving like a snail. My body smiled as I kept swirling the scythe as if I was waiting for Percy to crawl to his death…
Suddenly, the boat lurched sideways, monsters losing their balance, everyone on the deck drenched, and Kronos lost his concentration. The time slow effect wore off. Percy seemed to be powered up because of the water, and he lunged at me. I almost wanted to say ‘Hit my Achilles Heel!’ but Kronos was too fast, Percy missed. He looked up into my eyes as if killing me was a hard thing, but Kronos had nothing for sympathy. He sliced downward towards Percy, missing by an inch. He kicked me in the chest, and we went flying back. His look of disbelief confused me, but then I realized. Of course, us two combined weighed a ton…
I swung the scythe towards Percy, and he used Riptide to deflect it. The edge of my scythe scraped his arm, it wasn’t much but it was painful. The scythe was deadly. He stumbled backwards, and lunged at me desperately. His blade bounced off my stomach, and another look of disbelief crossed his face.
‘A poor performance, Percy Jackson. Luke tells me you were never his match at swordplay.’ Kronos said, through my body.
‘Luke had a big head, but at least it was his head.’
He called me big head?! My insides flared.
‘A shame to kill you now, before your final plan unfolds. I would love to see the terror in your eyes when you realize how I will destroy Olympus.’
I felt my soul grinning with anticipation, they would never guess about our little secret Typhon..
‘You’ll never get this boat to Manhattan.’ Percy said. He looked like he was in pain.
‘Perhaps you are counting on your friend with the explosives? Nakamura!’
Ethan came through the crowd, and addressed Kronos.
‘Success, my lord. We found him just as we were told.’
Charles Beckendorf came forward, surrounded by two giants. He had cuts and scrapes all over, his armor was gone and his eye was swollen.
‘No!’ Percy yelled.
‘We found him amidships, trying to sneak into the engine room. Can we eat him now?’ One of the giants asked. Curse the giants, the fat things.
‘Soon. Are you sure he didn’t set the explosives?’
‘He was going toward the engine room, my lord.’
‘How do you know that?’
Ethan shifted uncomfortably.
‘Er.. He was heading in that direction. And he told us. His bag is still full of explosives.’ Ethan said uncomfortably. Of course he didn’t send anyone to check the engine rooms.
‘Open his bag.’ I heard myself order.
One of the giants opened the bag, and inside were cans of peaches.
I could feel Kronos stirring, his anger heating up my body..
‘Did you perhaps, capture this demigod near the galley?’
Ethan turned pale, and Kronos didn’t even give him a chance to explain.
‘And did you perhaps, send someone to actually check the engine room?’
Ethan ran away, the fastest I’ve ever seen him do.
‘You’ll have to excuse my incompetent help, Percy Jackson, but it doesn’t matter. We have you now. We’ve known you were coming for weeks.’
I held out a scythe charm, the one I gave Silena.
‘Communication device.. spy at camp.’ Percy muttered.
Kronos chuckled. ‘You can’t count on friends. They will always let you down. Luke learned that lesson the hard way. Now drop your sword and surrender to me, or your friend dies.’
He swallowed loudly. It was a hard decision of course – Percy’s fatal flaw was loyalty. I saw Beckendorf mouth ‘Go’ but Percy shook his head. Beckendorf slowly raised his left hand; it was free..
‘What isss he doing? What isss that on hisss wrissst?’ A dracaenae hissed.
It was an explosive, and Percy knew it. He threw Riptide towards me like a javelin, but of course it didn’t harm me. An arrow pierced Percy’s thigh, and he plunged deep into the sea. The explosion shook the world, the ship Princess Andromeda blew up…and I felt myself escape. After all, I have no control of my body anymore, do I?
