It was the middle of the night, stars shining down on the earth, reflecting of the pitch black eyes of a raven-haired boy who was sprinting across the forest trying to get away from the horrifying beasts that were chasing him. They were hunting him down trying to bring him to their master. That six year old boy was one of the most im(portant aspects of The Master's plans. The boy had no chance in out running the monsters and he couldn't face them head on without being smashed like a bug. He was a disappointment. He was useless and he didn't know why he even tried to hide from them. He should just give up. Then all the pain, the grief would be gone. But he couldn't not without avenging his mother first. He was brought out of his thoughts when he tripped on a tree root sticking out of the ground. He fell into a pile of bushes that rustled loudly. He froze when he heard the snake woman slither near him. She wouldn't give up trying to kill him. All the other beasts gave up trying to find the young boy but not her. Then the snake lady shaped her head in his direction her long talons scraping against the trees. He braced himself ready for death to come when a bright light exploded. He opened his eyes to sees pile of golden dust blowing away in the wind. The. A hand covered his mouth as he headed towards the remains of the monster. He freaked out and wildly swung his fist.

"Relax; I just want to talk with you." The man said.

The boy stopped swinging his arms, he relaxed slightly and the man let go of his mouth.

"Who awe you-u?" The boy stuttered and his r slipped through his teeth as usual giving him an extra cute point.

"I am Thanatos. I have tried to protect you without direct contact. Zeus is paranoid so I have only helped you run away. It is time to go home, Perseus."

"Close your eyes Perseus."

"Why?"

Instead of answering the god flashed them out of the forest and into the underworld. By now Perseus eyes were adjusted to the dark so he saw everything including the "puppy" that was standing up barking at the smell of the living. At the sound of the three heads dogs bark Percy's head snapped up excitedly. When the boat they were on Perseus hopped off ready to play with the big dog.

"Thank you mister..."

"Charon. Just Charon." The hooded cloak rasped out.

"Thanks Charon."

Perseus then ran off to see the dog that licked him when he came near getting Perseus soaked. Perseus laughed loudly and patted the dogs.

"Come on Perseus let's go see your... well you have a complicated family so let's just say he's your uncle."

They walked over to the pitch black castle. It had a large wooden door with a torch on each side. To Perseus' surprise the flames were green. It was dark and gloomy with two skeletons at the front guarding the doors with two spears. He walked towards the door and suddenly the skeletons came alive! Perseus jumped back in shock. Thanatos ordered them to let him pass and they walked through the doors. Inside was an amazing site, in Percy's opinion. It was dark in the hallway with pictures of all kinds of torture. There was burning, drowning, electrocution, etc.

It was scary but Perseus had seen worse. He had seen it live.

"Perseus, stay here while I go talk to your uncle."

"Ok."

Perseus just roamed around the hallway for a couple minutes before he sat down and started playing with his thumbs. The door finally opened and he heard a deep voice telling him to come in. He went in the room which had a fireplace but inside it looked like ghosts or souls of people. They were trying to claw their way the bars that locked them inside the fireplace. A man spun around in his chair now facing Perseus. He studied the smaller boy and narrowed his eyes.

"Is this the child I am supposed to bless?" Perseus could feel the man's eyes gazing into his soul.

"Why should this child be fortunate enough to become my champion?"

"He is my son. If the others found out about him..."

Thanatos trailed off leaving it to Hades' imagination of what they would do if they caught Thanatos with a child.

Hades was forming a plan in his head. It was cruel to Thanatos but he would do anything to get back at his brothers, especially Zeus.

"I will make a deal with you Thanatos. I will bless, protect, and train the boy with one condition. I get to adopt the boy to raise as my own. He will be trained by all of the greatest heroes. He will be the prophecy child. Not that disgusting daughter of Zeus. No, Perseus will be the hero of Olympus and a true son of death."

"Then I am sorry, but no." Thanatos looked at his boss nervously.

"Excuse me." Hades said, clearly surprised that the minor god refused him. Thanatos gulped down his nervousness. He knew Hades would be angry. The god of the underworld looked at Thanatos like he was about to yell and then his eyes glazed over. A chill went up the minor god's spine and he instantly knew who was helping him. He grinned slightly and when Hades returned to normal his stoic expression returned to his face. Hades looked at him shaken up. "I am sorry I will not take care of your child. Nothing will happen to him in the Underworld I can assure you that." Thanatos smiled sadly. The thing clearly scared Hades; unfortunately it did not scare him enough to take the child in. The next place he had in mind was somewhere he did not want to raise his child. It was worse than in Hades, the place not god. He would have to bring the small child to his mother, who lived in Tartarus. He grabbed his son's hand and flashed down to the pit. He opened his eyes and saw his mother's dark palace. He brought Percy to the door and knocked on the door. He waited a few moments before the door swung open. No one was there. He walked in, the young child at his side. As he walked down the long hallway he examined the paintings on the wall. They were all of her children. He smiled when he saw a younger version of himself playing with his brother, Morpheus, with wooden daggers. His expression then changed back to regular. He kept walking toward the main room and when he finally got to the main room. He saw a chair facing the opposite direction of him and someone was sitting in it. All he saw was black hair, until she turned around. She had a pale white face and a purplish dress. She was beautiful. The woman looked at Thanatos and smiled. "Well aren't you going to give your mother a hug?" The god hugged his mom and showed her Percy. "Who is this?"

"Mom, this is my son Percy. I need you to train him and take care of him."

Nyx, the primordial of night, looked at her son with confusion written on her face. "Why can't you take care of him yourself?"

Thanatos looked at his mom desperately. "I can't say anything here. I shouldn't have even brought him."

Nyx got up with a determined look on her face. "Tell me everything."

Thanatos looked around the room as if someone were watching him. He sighed and started to tell his story.

~flashback six years ago Thanatos POV~

I walked into the hospital, walked up to the front desk and asked to see Sally Jackson. She was currently giving birth to his child. I walked up to the room and opened the door. When I was in there I saw two people. A doctor holding a baby boy in his arms, and the mother lying in the bed. She was almost as pale as the sheets she was laying on. The doctor told me that I had to leave so I grabbed the baby and snapped my fingers making the doctor collapse. I slowly walked over to the woman in the bed. She smiled at him, but he could tell it was hurting her to move. She was dying slowly from blood loss and I couldn't stop it. It would ruin the flow of life, meaning if she didn't die many other people would until she did. Those people shouldn't die, yet. She grabbed my arm and I looked at her. She slowly pulled my ear to her mouth.

"I know who you are, Thanatos." She said surprising me. "I need to tell you something very important. Our son, protect him from what is to come. He is much more than a demigod because... Because I am a legacy."

"That doesn't matter just lay down and rest." I said trying to calm her down.

"It does matter because… Because I am the legacy of Erebus."

~flashback end~

My mother looked at me for a few seconds before pulling the boy towards her and gripping his shoulders very tightly. Perseus took a big gulp and clenched his teeth to stop the tears from flowing freely out of his eyes. I couldn't blame him. My mother was terrifying. She looked him in the eyes and he moved his eyes anywhere but hers. She chuckled darkly and said, "Of course son, I know we'll get along very well." Then, right after she had smiled at him, she let go of his shoulders and pushed him away from her and right when his head was about to hit the floor he vanished in the shadows. I clenched my teeth but I knew my mother wouldn't bring him back here. I walked over to my mother and nodded my head. "I will be back in a week. Please mother, don't scar him for life." She chuckled again and waved her hand motioning towards the door. "Goodbye son." And right when I closed the double doors of her mansion she said, "No promises." The last thing I saw before I was locked out, was a smug smirk on my mother's face with a white hot fire burning in her eyes.

~line break Percy's POV~

I was freaking out. That was the only reasonable explanation. I mean come on this is all crazy. Maybe I shouldn't have run away from home. No, it's better this way now... Smelly Gabe can't hurt me now. I felt my sweaty hands slip off of the wooden table in what appears to be my new room. I hit the floor but before I could black out, a man walked in and grabbed me by the shirt. "Don't wuss out now." He gave me a crazy smile and said, "We're just getting started."

~line break one week later~

"So you little Bitch. You think you could mess with us and get away with it." One of the shadowy figures told me when I accidentally tripped one of his loser buddies. I was running my usual laps just outside Grandmas castle when these guys bump in to me and one of them falls. I tried to help them but they pushed me on my back. I fell into a knight standing guard in the track area. There was one everywhere and they were the lowest rank of the Knights of Nyx. As I fell I looked up and saw one of my new uncles standing on a balcony looking to see what I would do. All my siblings usually stayed here in the castle. The castle was a bit creepy at first but now I'm pretty used to it. Anyways the knight rolled away and stood back up as if nothing had happened to him. Now two of the three big meanies were advances on me. I gulped and tried to turn to run away. The big, buff one grabbed me by the back of my collar and pulled me back before punching me in the gut. I almost passed out right there but I managed to shadow travel behind them and started running from them. That was the one trick I managed to actually get to work in this week. I still wasn't good at aiming at where to go but I worked. I started running and the two medium sized ones charged towards me almost catching even when I was at full speed. The large one turned around in the circle and charged me from the other way. I kept running until the big guy was almost a football field away. He smiled viciously and ran even faster. He reached out towards me so instead of getting trampled to death by a fat guy I tried one of my special abilities.
