A/N Alright, before you read the story I think I should let y'all know a few things. First of all, the main character in this book, her mom is Nyx, goddess of night. So since most people don't know much about her, I think I should tell y'all about her. If you don't really give a shit, then skip this and read on.
Anyway, Nyx is the goddess of night, and she is more powerful than Zeus. She doesn't get talked about much though, so she isn't represented as an Olympian. Another reason for that could be that she would probably be in the Chthonian group, which are the gods and goddesses of The Underworld. She had a lot of kids with her brother (nasty I know), but I really doubt she had any demigod children. So basically, through my research, I found that she is the personification of night. And, through the pictures I found on Google images (if you need a laugh look up albino gorillas on there!), I saw that she has flowing black hair and ice blue eyes. She is one of the oldest Element Gods and Goddesses. As I have said before, they don't talk about her a lot, so if she does appear in the story, or if anyone describes her, it will most likely be my own impression of her (that's a polite way to say, don't give me any shit about her! I was too lazy too spend hours upon hours looking up what she acts like, so I'm making her up!). I think that's all, so yeah, read on!
I look up, and in the distance, I can see Camp Half Blood. I look farther, and I can see the cabins, only cabins for the Olympian demigods, of course. I probably should explain myself. My name is Felony Saner and I am the daughter of Nyx. Now, I know most of you are thinking, who the hell is Nyx? Well, she is the goddess of night, and nobody appreciates her enough. My mother is Nyx, and my father is a mortal. So I am a demigod, even though I'm not a child of the "so famous" Olympians.
I have long black hair, ice blue eyes, and a permanent scar on my cheek that I got while running away, to Kronos. Most of you are thinking by now, gasp, Kronos? But isn't he supposed to be the big bad guy who died four years ago, because Percy Jackson killed him? Is that the Kronos you are talking about?
Well, yes, I am. I have a good relationship with my mother; well, I used to. My father, I don't even know where he is, probably off banging some other chick at a bar. I've never met him, but my mother told me that she didn't know what she was doing, because she had pledged that she would not have a demigod child. So, I was a mistake. I don't really care though; I'm here so that's all that matters.
So back to the Kronos thing, I had always known about the whole demigod thing, because my father ran off as soon as he found out that my mother was pregnant with me. So, I lived with Nyx, for four years. She lied low most of the time, not really having a home. But, we did visit the Underworld a lot. Nyx taught me to do some things that are, you could say, "special".
Some of the stuff, I learned from Hades. Hades and Nyx are buddies. Yeah, I use the word buddies, it's a cool word. Anyway, sometimes when Nyx had some "business" she had to attend to, I would hang out with Hades. He's a pretty cool guy, people just give him a bad wrap. Technically, he's not supposed to be teaching me this stuff, and technically, I'm not even supposed to be able to do this stuff. But, Hades was willing to teach me, and since Nyx is the goddess of night, and the Underworld is considered a part of her domain, I can have those powers, but only if the main god or goddess there will teach me.
Before I tell you my powers, I think I would like to rub something in nobody's face. I am not dyslexic, nor do I have ADHD! HAHA! Okay, now that that is out of my system…
So the things that I can do, that I got from Nyx, are as the following. I can make the sky or the room I am in, darker, according to my mood. I can envelop someone in complete darkness, so they will only see blackness, and there darkest nightmares. Nyx is the goddess of night, but that also goes with nightmares. I can bring up someone's nightmares and make them re-live them. I can also go into people's dreams, yes dreams. Nightmares are a form of dream, so I can go into them. I can also see in the dark. And, any creatures of the night must obey me.
One thing that they probably didn't tell you is that if somebody dies in the light, they go to the Underworld. But, if somebody dies in the dark, they go to Nyx. And, I know you've heard of Nico, and how he can control the people from the Underworld, and all that shit. Well, if that person dies in the dark, I can control them. Also, I don't mean like you died in the night, while sleeping. I mean, like murdered, killed in a car accident in the dark. The last thing, is that I can become invisible if there is a little bit of darkness on me.
The things that I can do that Hades taught me, was I can shadow travel, though I am not very good at it at all. Those are it, I can't do as much as Nico. I don't know anything about him; he is never there when I am there.
So right now, I am sixteen, and four years ago, probably, around the time that Kronos died, Nyx was ranting about how she doesn't get enough respect, and how the Olympians barely acknowledged her anymore.
I had been thinking about it, and I was getting really pissed off. She was as great as all the Olympians combined! She could kick anyone of their asses any day! She had talked about Kronos, not very many good things, but she did say that he might respect her. That got me thinking…
One night when I was sleeping, I subconsciously went into Kronos's dream. Well, not really a dream, it was more of his thoughts. I couldn't see anything, but I could hear him say, "Ah, Felony, hello there!"
I was surprised; usually nobody knew that I was in their dreams. "Oh, um hi Kronos" I shakily said back.
I could hear the smile in his voice when he said, "As I have said before, hello. As you know, Percy Jackson has killed me, in a sense. I am dead, but I can communicate with a set number of people. I have chosen you, because I saw your thoughts about how your mother isn't getting enough respect. I believe it whole heartedly, your mother should have been an Olympian. The only draw back, would be that I would have to fight her. I admire her so much, and I wish she was a Titan. But alas, she is not. I have a proposition for you though."
I was skeptical, but I said, "Okay, sure, what is it?"
"I have spies who well, spy for me. And, I think you would be a wonderful addition to that. I would have to train you of course, and you wouldn't go into action for a while."
"Oh really, so what would I have to do, and how would this help me?"
"You would go through training, and then eventually you would do the most important thing. But I will not tell you what it is, until you are ready. It would help you because it would help you get more respect for your mother, and you. This is really in your best interest."
"You know what? Screw it, I'm in. What do I have to do to get to you?"
"You won't ever be able to get to me, but you can go to my headquarters. It's quite simple; really. I know your mother doesn't sleep, does she? Well, when she is out, tell her that you can stay here. Then, run for an hour. Once you have run for an hour, try to go to sleep, and I will tell you from there. Alright, Felony?"
I smiled when I said this, "Yes, oh yes most definitely. My mother is out now, so I will go. Goodbye, Kronos, I'll talk to you soon."
He said one thing before his thoughts faded into the distance, "An hour, be precise. Goodbye, Felony."
So I ran away and did everything he said. I have a home, not many friends, but I will have some when my mother and I are respected. After I ran away, Nyx eventually found me, but could not come through the doors to my home. She cried, actual tears, and said to me, "Felony, I truly thought you would be my partner; the secondary goddess of night, but I guess I was wrong. Goodbye, I still love you Felony, even if I have never said it."
Then, she faded away, it was night so she could just fade away. What she said, I always remembered it, but it never really hit a cord in me. She was going to love me, even more once I show her that I got her some respect. I only remember it because those were the last words I ever heard her say to me.
Eventually though, I was ready for the big assignment. I was going to Camp Half Blood, as the only child of Nyx, who got attacked by a hellhound. I was living alone, when Nyx said I should head over here.
To get the full effect, I had to intentionally make myself look hurt. Another power, that I didn't think I meantioned, was that I could make myself look like I got attacked by something. The only drawback, I really get hurt by it. Well, I have to what I have to do.
So I got in the shadows, and I conjured up the images, and then I instantly got hurt. I could feel it, sure enough. I actually started crying, and then, I crawled my way into Camp Half Blood.
