A/N: Before we start off on this wild journey of ours, I would like put out a few warnings for those that are weak of heart. This is a Primordial story where the characters are Primordials, and it focuses on Primordial affairs. This story will be gruesomely gory and highly suggestive. There will be no lemons/smut (There will be a fair amount of teasing, though.) as I am not looking to have my account taken down (M is not the same as MA, people!). Consider yourself warned. Let us begin.
Perseus.
He could see feel and hear nothing. Perhaps that was because there was no light to see with, no matter to feel, and there was nothing to pass vibrations into his eardrums. There was, of course, the always-present raw power coursing through his body that felt restless, like it wanted to burst out and fill the emptiness with something, anything. He could not remember how long he had been here, unmoving in a permanent silence. He didn't know if there had even been a beginning. Perhaps it was time for one.
He didn't know what he was about to do, he just did what felt right at the moment. He cupped his hands together and power flowed into them, making the veins on his arms glow a golden color. He released the power through the palm of his hands, and collected it in a ball. Suddenly he could see as the ball began to emit light, a shining bright blue ball of pure unbridled energy in an empty field of nothingness. He stared it for a moment, admiring the beauty, before looking down at himself. He was completely nude and his skin was a ghostly white. His body was muscular, and his raven hair fell into his eyes when he looked down. He closed his hands around the ball and continued to feed it energy. The light shone through the cracks of his finger and continued to grow brighter. He could begin to feel the ball trying to expand, wanting to release the unfathomable amount of power he had fed into it. He smashed his hands together violently, and the ball shrunk into a minuscule point emitting an astoundingly bright white light.
He pinched it between his fingers and held it up to his face. It distorted unstably and he let it go into the nothing. It had drifted an arm's length away before it exploded. Matter filled the nothingness in bright bursts of blue, greens, and purples, and any other color you could imagine. He stared in shock; it was beautiful.
As the colors continued to expand, a tear ripped in the beautiful mess of colors some few feet away and from the blackness it was made of formed an incredibly attractive naked woman. She was floating peacefully in the nothingness, eyes closed. Her hair was long and brown, and when she opened her eyes, they were pitch black eyes that seemed to be filled with curiosity as she stared at the man in front of her. He regarded her with faint surprise, even if his face kept the same calm nonchalant look as always.
"Hello," she said, slightly startling the man, who had never heard anything before, "My name is Void. Who are you?" He thought for a moment. This must be the personification of the emptiness that had been here previously. Now that something existed, there must be two who could control both sides of everything. He was faintly surprised she had already thought of a name, while he, who had been floating here for so long his last memory was quadrillions of years ago, still had none.
"I am Perseus," he decided on a name quickly. He smiled as he thought of the name's meaning. The Destroyer. He quite liked that. Void smiled back with a knowing look, before looking around them, gazing at the colors and shapes in the clouds of gasses that had been forming.
"I suppose I am your sister, and you are my brother." Void said with a happy smile. She was glad she didn't have to be alone in this strange new world. They both already felt as though they had known each other forever. Technically, when Void thought about it, she had known Perseus her whole life.
"Yes, that would make sense," Perseus responded nodding, "What do we do now?" He was already bored of the shapes and colors floating around them, which was strange seeing as it was the first real thing he had ever seen. He was more interested in his newborn sister, and he could already tell that they would be the best of friends, and never anything more.
"First I believe it is fitting we cover ourselves, as I don't believe it is appropriate to just stand talking to your sibling in the nude." Void said with a smirk. Perseus focused for a moment before he was wearing a full black suit of knight's armor with gold and silver floral inlays, and she was wearing a simple black dress. She looked down and spun, "How do I look?" She asked.
"Great. And me?" Perseus responded.
"You look like you're about to go fight something, despite the fact that we're the only beings in existence." Void said with a grin.
"Whatever," Perseus replied with a roll of his eyes, "I think it looks cool."
"Cool, but unnecessary," Void responded with a mischievous smirk on her face, "And besides, how are you going to complete the look if you don't have a weapon?" Perseus raised an eyebrow at her before extending his hand. Power began to flow from his body, into his arm, then further into his hand, before solidifying into a stunning golden-hilted hand-and-a-half longsword with gems in the intricately carved hilt, and inscriptions in the blade in the Primordial language, reading 'The Destroyer'. The blade itself was made of a strange bluish metal that emitted a faint light blue glow.
"What is that metal?" Void asked curiously. Perseus shrugged, he had just willed his power to manifest itself into the form of a sword. He created a plain black sheath and sheathed his sword. "And how come you're so powerful?" She asked with a whiney tone. Perseus raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" He genuinely did not know what she meant, he felt perfectly normal.
"I mean you can practically feel the power rolling off your body. It's a little suffocating, really," she said, fanning herself as Perseus noticed she looked faintly flustered.
"Sorry," Perseus said as he focused on his power, drawing it back into his body, and trying to contain inside himself. After a few moments, he had managed to hide his aura completely from the outside world. Void let out a sigh and let her shoulders relax as she felt the suffocating force surrounding them draw back into Perseus, his immense power really did make it slightly hard to breathe.
"Much better," Void said, "But I think we should create a place to stay."
"Perhaps a planet?" Perseus asked, excitement sparkling in his eyes. Void smiled at her brother's excitement to create. She wondered briefly why he had named himself The Destroyer if he liked creation so much.
"Yes, that will do. And what will call this place?" Void asked.
"The planet?" Perseus responded.
"No, this place," Void told him, "where we are currently floating around."
"Let's call it..." He trailed off for a moment as he thought, "Let's call it the universe." He decided.
"I like it." Void said with a smile. "Now let's get on that planet!" She grinned. Perseus grinned back and focused for a moment before turning to his left.
"I hope this works," he muttered under his breath, making Void look at him nervously. She had felt his immense power and had no wishes to be on the receiving end of it. Suddenly the matter where Perseus wanted his planet began to condense, first into tiny specks of dust, then pebbles, then rocks, then boulders, until eventually they got so big their gravity forced them into vaguely spherical and oblong shapes. Void watched in amazement as two massive rocks collided together with a huge blast and a plume of dust. When the dust cleared a little, there was a massive rock floating around, and all the other rocks began to come for it, bombarding the rock as it slowly grew.
Perseus and Void floated there for ages, what felt like millions of years, perhaps it had been, as they watched their planet grow with pride. "What shall we call it?" Void asked, breaking the silence they had kept for so long.
"It is the first planet, so I believe we should call it Primus." Perseus responded, looking away from Primus towards his sister. She was still staring at the red hot round mass of rock in front of them. Perseus directed his attention back towards Primus.
"I agree." Void said, before falling into their silence once again.
Billions of years later
"I'm going down there." Perseus said nonchalantly. Void jumped and looked at her brother in shock, shock that he had spoken so casually after billions of years, and shock that he wanted to go down to the planet, which was still a chaotic mess of primeval waters filled with the building blocks of life.
"No! It isn't safe." Void exclaimed, looking at Perseus with worry in her eyes.
"We can't die," Perseus responded flatly, before perking up, "Besides, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to will anything that dangers me away."
"Then I'm coming with you." Void said in a tone that left no room for argument. Fortunately for Perseus, he didn't plan to argue, he was glad that she wanted to see their creation with him.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Perseus said happily with a grin and a glint in his eyes. "Let's go!" He grabbed her hand and suddenly they were standing near a cliff's edge, looking over at the deep red landscape with the few occasional pools filled with gray water. Wind whipped around them and threw Void's long brown hair around wildly. Lightning forked down from the dark gray clouds above them and struck the ground every few seconds, making Void jump. He looked over and realized how much bigger he was than her; he was at least half a meters taller than her. She tightened her grip on her big brother's hand and he smiled over at her. "It's okay," he soothed, "Let's make a place where we can live down here." Void nodded apprehensively. Perseus looked over at her and made her look at him, "Void, we're going to be fine. Nothing here can hurt us, we both have extreme power and can defend ourselves." Void nodded again, smiling slightly as she realized that technically, she was the second most powerful being in the universe; despite the fact that there were only two beings in the universe.
Perseus began walking in a random direction, deciding mentally that they would wander the barren landscape until they found a suitable place to live. The ground was cracked and wet with the rain that never ceased to fall from the sky. The terrain was rough and bumpy and filled with crags and ditches. They wandered over mountains, skirted along rivers and lakes, and conquered rough and rocky cliff faces until eventually Perseus stopped abruptly, making Void, who was still holding his hand stumble and she would have fallen had he not caught her.
"This is the place." Perseus said after a moment. Void took a moment to look around, they were on a beach with dark grayish red sand. To her left, the ocean roared and surged as waves battered the coast with massive waves. To her right, there was a humongous cliff face, the largest she had seen so far during her time on Primus. "Well?" Perseus asked, "What do you think?"
"Where are we going to make our home?" Void asked. There didn't seem to be that much space between where the waves reached and where the cliff began. Perseus just grinned at pointed at the cliff. Void looked at him confused for a moment before she grinned as she realized what he planned to do. "Let's do it."
The world rumbled and suddenly rocks began to fly out of the cliff, over their heads, and far out into the ocean. Void released why Perseus had decided to name himself The Destroyer; his destructive powers were clearly superior to his creation powers. When the rocks stopped flying, there was a huge cavern in the shape of a perfect rectangular prism. Perseus focused again, and a strange golden liquid-like material rose out of the ground and began to form the shape of a massive door with a huge staircase leading up to and many windows looking out. Eventually the golden liquid-like substance seeped back into the ground and left behind a gorgeous marble temple in the side of the cliff.
The temple had a beautiful staircase with marble pillars on either side of it holding up what looked like a massive balcony with golden railings. The doors were two huge slabs of marble with gold inlays sprouting up in floral patterns all the way up the doors, and an intricate golden handle and knocker in the middle. Spreading out from each side of the door were several large windows with golden window frames.
Perseus walked up to the stairs and began to climb them. Once he arrived he looked back at Void, who was still gazing at the beautiful temple in front of them. "Well?" He asked, mirth in his eyes. "Are you coming?" He grinned at her before opening the huge marble door and stepping inside. Void quickly rushed to catch up.
A/N: How's that for a take on the Primordial idea! You might be saying 'OMG WTF Percy's 2 OP wtf m8 y u do dis' and while I can't say what the enemy is, I can tell that the enemy is a match for Percy. Also, it was really strange constantly writing Perseus instead of Percy. Anyways, see you next chapter! :D 3
(And I guarantee you, this story is not Percy x Void. They're siblings, seriously dude! Percy's love interest will be introduced later in the story, probably in chapter 3, or somewhere close to there.)
