Hello readers! This is my first story on fanfiction so constructive criticism only please. A reviewer said that chapter one's romance part was too rushed. So I decided to rewrite the whole thing to make it more appealing to you guys. It is about Percy and Leo being gods and how they deal with it as well as a foe rising that is even more powerful than Chaos herself. Also not your typical Chaos Story cause She's gonna be in here too. Anyway! Read and Review! PS Olympians are kinda weak in this story. Also, lots of sex. Kiddies under 18 stay away.

PERCY
His life was pretty much over. Percy had watched as a stray arrow went straight through Annabeth's eye and into her head just after Leo and Gaea went up in flames. Time slowed to a snail's pace. Her limp body fell to the ground. Blood poured out of her skull and pooled onto the floor. The alarmed son of Poseidon rushed to his only true love and cradled her in his arms.
"N-n-no, this can't be happening. YOU CAN'T BE GONE!" His vision blurred and body tensed. A fierce pull in his gut was his immediate response to the anger that enveloped him. The earth shook. The ocean became restless. A hurricane surrounded the two demigods as their friends tried and failed to get into the eye of the storm. When Percy roared at the sky with tears flowing out of his eyes, his true power was revealed. Geysers of water shot out of the ground and went hundreds of meters into the air injuring several demigods in the process. A minute later, the Olympian Gods intervened before any more of their children were injured in the drastic event
Seven weeks later, the Award Ceremony Began. Although the other demigods stood with their chests out and heads high, Percy just stood there, refusing to acknowledge anything and anyone. There were eight demigods in the room. Percy himself, Reyna Ramirez-Arellano, Piper Mclean, Leo Valdez, Nico Di Angelo, Jason Grace, Frank Zhang and Hazel Levesque.
The Lord of the Skies called out to each and every one of the Heroes and gave them each a speech of their glory and of their hardships.
Every hero and heroine in the war effort was awarded one wish, depending on how large a part they played in Gaea's defeat. When everyone but Perseus had received their own personal speech from the King of the Gods, Poseidon spoke. "My son, your loss is massive, and your sorrow deeper than Tartarus, but you must pull together. Annabeth would hate to see you like this". The mention of her name pushed him over the edge. At first, he did not respond. Zeus realized the gravity of the situation and sent the other demigods away. Jason had tried to stay but his father was insistent.
"You do not know what she would've wanted". The lone demigod's voice was layered, as if several people were talking at the same time. Percy raised his head to reveal his eyes, irises lined with a sickly green. "YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT SHE WOULD'VE WANTED!"
When his father attempted to approach him, Poseidon's body began to slow. His face contorted in pain as his skin turned red and boils formed all over his body. The other Gods were too shocked to react. Zeus, the cowardly idiot that he was, panicked and threw the Master Bolt right at the mysterious demigod. Time slowed down for Percy. He watched the arc of lightning slowly approach him. Half a second. Two seconds. A full minute passed and the bolt had not reached him. Hell, it hadn't even gone a quarter of the way yet.
A soft and beautiful voice caused him to turn his head. "Do not fret Percy, I know what it is like to lose someone you love."
The Demigod's heart figuratively stopped. The woman before her was unimaginable. The figure was obviously a goddess. She had smooth features and cherry red lips. Her jet black hair flowed long and reached her waist. The goddess wore a dark blue dress that reached her the floor and hugged her perfect hourglass figure. She had gentle eyes with black irises yet the demigod could tell they hid a wrathful power behind the mellow facade.
The anger seemed to get sucked out of his body. Expression softened. Eyes lightened. The beauty approached Percy with a look of wonder and pain. She took his hand in hers and put it to her cheek. The dazed demigod mirrored the action. The two beings came closer to each other. Their lips met gently, tears streamed down the young man's face. Relief flowed through his system and healed many of his emotional wounds, though not all.
The bliss slowly left Percy. When he came to, time had continued and the ecstasy of the entity was gone. In her place was a muscular fifteen metre tall goddess complete with a six pack and a buxom chest. Looking higher, she had fiery eyes and tears of blood. Somehow Poseidon was safely on his throne and Zeus was on the floor. It was then the young demigod realised he couldn't hear a thing. His visage contorted into confusion and joy. The Master Bolt laid on the floor, broken into three pieces. One of which was lodged in the throat of the nearly-dead King of the Gods. As much as he wanted Zeus dead, he knew that a vacuum of power like that could start yet another war. He did not want another one of those. Despite the aura of fear and destruction, Perseus walked up to her and pulled her into an embrace. The beauty visibly relaxed. It was then she spoke: "Thank you Perseus, you have prevented a potential disaster from occurring". She instantly reverted back to her calm and more merciful form.
Apollo quickly got to work to heal his bigoted father when Hades flashed into the room. The god of the Underworld bellowed in laughter. His proud brother, finally getting what he deserved. A quick look from Nyx shut him up.
Perseus understood the gravity of the situation. He was given another reason to live just as the other had gone. He had not gotten over Annabeth, not now, maybe not ever, but he knew exactly what he had to do at this moment.
"Milady, How may I serve you?", the demigod's voice rang through the quiet room, the only other noise being the wrapping of magical bandages. "Stand before me Perseus". Not wanting to disobey a powerful goddess, he stepped forward. "You are to become a god and serve under me, Knight of Night, God of Darkness and Soul, Master of the Nightshades. The Nightshades will be a team of partially immortal individuals whom you pick that will assist you in your endeavors against evil. Much like Artemis' Hunters. It will not be an easy process, becoming a god, but it would be worth it a thousand times over. Will you serve me or must I convince you?"
The soon to be god fell to his knees and let his head drop down in respect. "I accept… Mistress". The 'Mistress' part at the end caused Nyx's lips to curve into a satisfied smile. Nyx reached out to him and took his hand. The moment his skin touched her's, his world exploded in unimaginable pain. A dark energy travelled from her hand to his and up his arm, spreading throughout his body. Something bloomed within him and burst like a volcano. The next thing that hit him was the cold. The unending, freezing, emotionless tundra of his mind. An endless expanse suffering stopped and the newly tof ice. All while pain racked his body. It made the River Styx feel like a papercut. Suddenly, the urned god fell to the floor and onto his back, sweaty and bleeding. The darkness of unconsciousness enveloped him as he closed his eyes in relief.
LEO
After they were sent out, Leo and the other demigods weren't sure what to think. 5 minutes, three horrid screams, a bellowing laugh and one calm silence later, they were allowed back into the throne room to find a surprising sight. Percy on the floor in a pool of blood and black liquid, a goddess standing over him and Zeus bandaged on the floor with Apollo next to him.
The demigods simultaneously drew their weapons and charged. No more than four steps later were they suddenly frozen in place by tendrils of icy blackness. "Relax, Demigods" The woman spoke. "Perseus has just endured the process of becoming a god. It can be quite damaging. Now, I will release you from your bonds but if you attack I will not hesitate to destroy you"
The tendrils of darkness disappeared into thin air. Nobody attacked. "You may continue the Ceremony," She said as she picked up Percy's body and put him aside. Nervously, they did just that.
Hephaestus then bellowed, "LEO VALDEZ, My heroic son. Step forward. Because you have saved us all by sacrificing yourself to kill the Earth Mother, We offer you something special, something that has never been offered before: We would like you to become the godly champion of Hestia herself. You will have to take up the symbolic name Arula, meaning hearth. Your godly title would be Lord Arula, Bane of Gaea, Patron of Demigods, Light of the World and Protector of the Hearth. Do you accept?" Hephaestus wore a gleaming smile as he looked as his son's matching grin.
Out of nowhere, Hestia as an eight year old, walked up behind Leo and took his hand. "I - I don't know what to say…." A shocked Leo replied as he noticed Hestia's appearance. "A simple 'yes' would suffice, If you accept" Hestia happily and excitedly exclaimed. "Yes! Definitely YES!" Leo shouted as he jumped in the air.
A blinding light and a thunderous sound. Leo had exploded. In his surprise and in the surprise of his friends, they unanimously shouted Leo's name. Fiery knives cut along his skin, from his fingertips to his neck, flaying him alive. What was under the skin however was not flesh, but blinding light. Energy shot out of all his bodily orifices as he rose into the air. For the first time in his life, he felt hot. Searing pain enveloped his body. It suddenly all stopped. Leo fell to the floor harshly, only slightly sunburnt.
PERCY
Lord Perseus, Knight of Night, woke to a blinding light. He slowly stood from his puddle of blood. Unexpectedly, he felt something uncomfortable in his back, something he needed to release. Instinctively, he let it go. Black bat like wings sprouted out of his back, ram's horns came out of his head, and tattoos covered his body. Looking at his hands- no, claws, he felt power rush through him. "HAHAHAHAHA". His laughter echoed throughout the room, bringing all attention to him. Heads turned from what seemed to be Leo on the ground to the devilish monstrosity of a god that was the god of Night. His smile faltered when he saw his friend on the floor. "Is he ok?". Reyna was the first to recover from his black eyed stare. "He just became a god, he's just recovering, I think". Leo then stood smiling. He had golden irises, perfect white teeth, was considerably taller and had a much more muscular physique. "I feel awesome!" Everyone, relieved at the safety of the two new gods, decided to continue the Ceremony.
