Note: This story is supposed to be AFTER The Mark of Athena & House of Hades.

There * might* be some spoilers but if there are I'll try to note it. Yes, this will be another Chaos story, but other than that I think that's all you need to know (: Enjoy!

Percy's POV

I stare down into the old and cracked water fountain. I see images ripple across the peaceful water and sigh. It's August 12th 11:50 PM, the year? I'm not quite sure actually… but I do know it's been a long and painful thousand years since. I can't bring myself to think back to the day I left. I don't want to. If I do, too many memories will flood back into me and I'll be more heart broken than the time I thought Hades killed my mom. Oh gods, more memories to think about. Stupid, stupid Percy. Though a quick smile spreads on my face -You drool when you sleep she said. That was the first time I met Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. But as quickly as that smile appeared it disappeared and transformed into a scowl. As I was about to leave I look down into the fountain once more and I notice one image that catches my attention. It was Annabeth and Garret; they were sitting near Thalia's tree. I think Garret was trying to read Annabeth a haiku and they were laughing. My heart sank and I could feel the tears forming. They both look like they haven't aged a bit as I realize they must be immortal. I knew Annabeth would become immortal one day, after all she saved the world just as many times as I did. But Garret? I don't know how, he only arrived a month after we defeated Gaea (after House of Hades). Annabeth looked just as beautiful as the day I left her, or she left me you could say. Garret? I could see he still had that smug look, fiery eyes, and triumphant smile. I could only wonder what Garret did to become immortal, maybe he snuck some wine to Mr. D who in turn, bribed the other Olympians to making him immortal. Or maybe he defeated Kronos, became Praetor of the Twelfth Legion in a shorter amount of time than Jason did, brought back the Golden Eagle from Alaska, and took down not only numerous Titans, but also gods. Oh wait, that was me. Calm down Percy, if Annabeth is happy. You're happy. I force myself to look away but not before they start sucking each other's faces off. Gross, I think. It was totally more attractive when Annabeth and I kissed. KNOCK IT OFF PERCY, GET OVER HER. Right. I hear someone clearing their throat and I whip around. It was Lord Chaos. I kneel down and wait for his orders.

Chao's POV

I smile as I see my second in command, Perseus, the second most powerful being in all over the universe. Second to me that is. I frown when I see him sniffling a bit and realize he saw an image of Annabeth and Garret. I clear my throat and begin to talk, ''Percy, are you alright, my boy?'' I say gently

''Yes, Lord Chaos.'' He was kneeling down politely

''Come on now, Percy, I don't expect you to kneel down to me. It's been a thousand years son, I know the power you possess and I want you to only think of me as your friend and mentor, is that clear?'' I say

''Yes sir, it's an honor.'' He replied

This kid makes me proud, to me he is the symbol of Loyalty, Bravery, and Peace. I'm glad he is my second in command because I've been searching for years and years for a strong leader. I know I can count on him to lead The Army of Chaos. I'm knocked out of my thoughts as I remember what I was here for.

''Percy, how long have you been away from.. Earth?'' I'm careful as to what I say knowing that even the word Earth can trigger the memories back to Percy

''About a thousand years, sir.''

''As you know, monsters, Titans, and other powerful forces are able to re- form and strengthen in a thousand years. Correct?''

He nods

''Well, it is happening. Something I've been dreading for a long time, you see. But I know that you, are able to help.''

He stiffens

''Boy, have I not given you my powers? Have I not taken you in and made you the second most powerful being there is? There is no limit to your powers, Perseus. It is like you are me, you're a part of me son. You know very well I cannot interfere but you can. I have the highest faith in you.''

He beams at this and I smile as well. He's a great kid and leader. Everyone who has ever known him knows that. In fact I know even some monsters regret trying to kill him. He has a heart of pure gold. I continue

''Now, listen. I'm going to talk to the gods about sending them help. I'm sure they'll appreciate it. Gaea is rising yet again and I can do nothing but delay her. Even that seems to weaken my powers. The gods cannot stop this and they know it, the Romans and Greeks are in a panic fearing for the worst. Do you know why?''

He shakes his head

''Because they don't have you.''
