Hey guys, I'll be trying to get back into writing as quick as I can. This is just a short clip from the chapter that I'm actually gearing to write. Hopefully I can revitalize the passion I had in the beginning when I started writing this story. Until then, this 300+ excerpt is all I unfortunately have for you all

Chapter 34:

Percy POV

Aeron and I were finally on the same page and we were ready to kick some Aion ass. With both of our minds and powers synced up, we could do some serious dame to whoever we would be facing.

And if I could harness Aeron's power without going to far, then all bets would be off.

" So you wanna call Pontus now Perce? " Aeron was ready to go pretty much two seconds after we had bonded. Which is definitely Aeron's style.

" You read my mind Aeron, let's call Pontus. He'll give us our next mission. Every mission we get closer to defeating Aion, " I say defiantly.

Before I could even call Pontus, he materialized from thin air and stood right in front of us. I was going to give Pontus a whole speech about how Aeron and I weren't afraid of the consequences and together we could beat Aeron and shit like that, but then I looked closely at Pontus.

He was haggard, tired, and his wrinkles were even more predominate then before. But his eyes really took my breath away. They were filled with so much sadness.

" So you decided to continue on the mission. After I gave you the choice, I already knew that you and Aeron would come to this decision. I can't stop you. "

Those words stopped me in my tracks.

" What do you mean Pontus? "

He couldn't even look at me. " Percy, these pasts weeks and months...I've become really attached to you and want your safety above all. I had no idea that I would care so much for you. But I do. And every mission you go on, every fight you continue to do, I can see your power growing, but I can see your innocence disappearing. One of the reasons I had you collect these powerful artifacts was because I had hopes that they would help control your growing power. But they've only done so much. If you die, I could never forgive myself..."
