A/N: Yes, it's a Chaos fic, and it might be a Pertemis fic. I honestly haven't seen many well written Pertemis fics, so I have decided to write my own and see how it turns out. I hope to write something that catches your interest and hope to hear good things from you lovely readers.

Prologue
Percy POV
Fear. The first emotion I remember feeling and it has haunted me in all my missions. It has always been there, even after assignments come to an end. I do not remember fully where or when it came about, only vague flashes of colours like silver and glimpses of sounds like arrows being fired. Fear accompanies these. I've tried to avoid being around those as much as possible even during wars and times of conflict. For over fifteen hundred years, I've held onto this emotion and yet, I cannot overcome it. My mentor has tried and failed to help me pass it, or even remove it. Everytime he does, it comes back full force silver comes into my view. We've tried to eliminate it in the main hold, but it does not work.
Silver. What has silver got to do with this fear? That is the most common thought I've had throughout eighteen hundred years. Silver. Why does this colour make me fearful? Must it be from my home world? If so, why is my access restricted from our databases of it? What makes Earth so special? I must request some knowledge from Father. He must know where my fear comes from, or he wouldn't restrict me. Is it important? Is it dangerous? Is it- An abrupt voice next to my ear made me lose track of my thoughts.
"Perseus!" I jumped and had my knives at the throat of the source of voice quickly. To my utmost surprise, it was Gabriella, my lieutenant and closest friend in his Majesty's army, smiling her pearly whites at me and staring up with mirth-filled eyes.
Growling slightly, I removed the knives from her neck, "Must you do that everytime I come to the arena?"
Chuckling slightly, she put a hand on my shoulder. "Well, after the first thousand times of trying to get your attention, I had to do something to get your attention that won't get us in any trouble," she replied with a wink.
I rolled my eyes at her remark and flashed away with her to our cabin by Lake Artium. It was a serene area that I had acquired after becoming General of his Majesty's forces. Tall, blue-oak trees encased a small, red poppy filled meadow that surrounded a similar sized, rocky beachfront. Small waves lapped at the shoreline, birds chirped away, and small woodland creatures scampered about as I pulled Gabriella into an embrace, pressing my lips against hers passionately.
Nobody except our King knew about us, though I suspected many of our soldiers knew. We had been lovers for over three hundred years, yet never had the time to settle down due to seperate missions and assignments which limited our time together. We may be in a state of peace, but we didn't want to risk anything for peace never lasted longer than a few weeks at most.
We pulled apart and rested our foreheads together, breathing in each other's scent and listening to the sound of nature surrounding us.
"You seemed to have missed me, Seaweed Brain," she mused quietly whilst grinning happily.
I smiled and kissed her forehead lightly, wrapping my arms around her waist. "Well, it has been two months since we had some peace and quiet, my dove."
Giggling quietly, she rested her head on my chest and put her arms around my neck. "Last time there wasn't any quiet, remember? You made sure of that."
I chuckled just as quietly, and rested my chin upon her platinum locks whilst looking out across the lake. The music of nature picked up as the goddess swayed happily with her love.
Gabriella was the Goddess of Nature and Spirits on her home planet of Dyader, a planet similar to Earth, but was smaller and more advanced. The Dyadians had worshipped its gods and goddesses even after near extermination by the neighbouring planet of Finasta. The two planets had been at war since they had discovered each other. Dyader was the peaceful one of the two, and had opted for more diplomatic ways to stop the war. Finasta was the opposite, opting for conquering Dyader. Sadly, the war didn't last long and Dyader was nearly wiped from the cosmos. The once prosperous planet was reduced to less than a hundred inhabitants.
Gabriella was the only deity to survive the onslaught and prayed to Chaos to save her planet and her people, so Chaos sent me and my team to either wipe out the Finastans or get Gabriella off of Dyader and to safety. A battle ensued lasting 2 years. Out of all the casualties, my forces had the most, so I had ordered a retreat and an evacuation of the planet. Gabriella had refused to leave until every single one of her people were free, so I stubbornly stayed behind with her.
After what was left of the Dyadians had been safely cleared from the planet, Gabriella had begged me to help her destroy it. I was reluctant, for if a planet was destroyed, the deities of that planet would perish soon after. And if all of the deities were to perish, so would its people. I had agreed after many pleas, though I had given her a suggestion. I had suggested she become a part of my Father's army and become a Goddess on Chaos' home planet so that she and her people may live on to prevent this from happening to anyone else. She agreed, albeit hesitantly.
I flashed her onto the main ship after sending a destruction spell to the center of her planet. She held me as she wept for her planet. For six months she grieved with her people after what transpired and had only come to me for comfort after I gave up my position as God of Nature for her.
Three hundred years later, we had become lovers and were nearly inseparable, even going on missions together.
"What are you daydreaming about, my love?" She asked softly. I smiled softly and kissed her forehead again.
"I was thinking of us," I responded after a long moment. "I was thinking of us."
She smiled softly and rose on her toes to kiss me lovingly. "You're always thinking about us, Percy. And as much as I enjoy it, you should get a new hobby."
Laughing lightly, I gave her another kiss, and picked her by her waist. "Well, if you want, you can think about us as well," I said, mischievousness and slight sultriness creeping into my voice.
She grinned, lust peeking through her hazel eyes. Wrapping her legs around my waist, she pulled us into a deep and passionate kiss before flashing us into the cabin for some much needed togetherness.
A/N: Well, first chapter is done! As I said in the first A/N, I hope to hear good things about it! If you have an idea for the story, let me know and I'll see if I can fit it into my plan! This chapter was mainly a set-up for the main characters throughout the first part of the plot, and implementing a bit of backstory and I can get an opinion on Gabriella. Don't worry, I'll go into more depth about her character soon and and get into the plot after the next chapter!
Anyway, reviews are appreciated, and I hope you have a great day!
