The Dark Before the Dawn

by HalflightDark

A post-apocalyptic world, can the ghosts of Greece's best heroes protect Olympus and find out what happened to the missing gods? This is a work of fanfiction, I would never claim to own Uncle Rick's ideas. TO BE REWRITTEN

1. Chapter 1

If only

A jumble of words, a series of symbols created by people who had no idea what they were doing. A scream into a void that doesn't care no matter what you say.

I am Perseus Jackson, but you can call me Percy, and I live in a world of "if only".

If only I had saved Annabeth, my girlfriend.

If only I had beaten my enemy quicker.

If only I had survived.

Yes, I am dead. I died while fighting Gaea, the mother of the earth. All of my friends had died. We managed to beat her, but only just.

Now I a member of the Army of the Damned, a militia of Hades' best ghosts, and we are the only group still able to protect the Greek Pantheon after the Olympians disappeared with the remaining demigods.

Our mission objectives are to protect Olympus and to find the gods, but I have no idea how that can be accomplished. Good thing I am not leading this operation.

Meet my squad, Rouge squad. We lead the Alpha battalion.

Jason, ancient leader of the Argonauts. He is our real-time strategist and a leader in the Navy of Hades.

Orpheus, the musical expert. He is the one of us who furthest explored the Underworld, and knows all of its secrets better than Hades himself. He is not much in a battle, but his music has mystic qualities.

Achilles, the neigh-impenetrable archer is our ranged attacker. He and I may have lost our blessings from the River Styx, but due to a deal between her and Hades, she protects us when she feels like it.

Finally, rounding out Rouge squad, is Daedalus. He is our field engineer, and the person who is in charge of all our siege weaponry.

Theseus, Cadmus, Perseus, and Heracles are in Infinity Squad, Bellerophon, Odysseus, Actaeon, and Atlanta are in the Dark squad, and Orion, Agamemnon, Aeneas, and Paris are in the Night Squad.
This new world is darker than the world we remembered, and the mist has faded. Should be interesting.
Thank you guys for reading my first chapter, or the pilot ad I like to call it. This is an interesting new idea I want to release and get done. IDK if I want a relationship, and with who. Almost anyone is up for grabs, so feel free to tell me. Also, should Hestia be a sponsor in this story, or what other role should she play? Feel free to review and suggest things. Thanks for reading.
