Soren: Hi! So to start, this is Snow's first story! So, constructive criticism is welcome, so long as it is truly constructive criticism and not something stupid

Me: Thank you for that Soren. Hope, I need you to handle the disclaimer

Hope: Got it! So, Crys-*Recieves death glare*I mean Snow, owns nothing besides me and Soren. Also, here's an apology in advance for any grammatical or spelling errors, we're in this alone so, it's a little rough. Anyways, onto the story!

If you're reading this, then I guess the world has ended, or, my mother demanded I share what I know because something depends on it, though, seeing as the person reading this is most likely alive, I'm guessing it's the latter. Well then I suppose this calls for an introduction. I'm Lampró Astéri Tou Laoú Pistoí Sto Cháos or, Hope Chaos, Daughter of Chaos, Heir of Creation. Well then, I guess you're about to delve into my innermost thoughts, so, I guess I won't stop you any longer, but be prepared, the truth won't be as pretty as you would hope.

It was another cold morning in the Void of Chaos, yipee. I guess I should state this now, I absolutely despise the cold. The day had started out like any other, little was I to know that this wouldn't end the same. I heard the usual sound of pecking at my window and got up, Kairo and Tayyo wouldn't like it if I skipped out on feeding them and having the two annoyingly lovable balls of feathers unhappy with me was not on my to-do list. I quickly snapped my fingers and allowed a starry dress to appear on me, my nightgown fading out of existence. I walked out the door of my room and went down to the kitchen to prepare a meal for myself and my pets. With another finger snap, I created some pancakes and two extra large bowls of seed for my birds, as well as some warm steak. I sighed, I wished I could go to the mortal world, just once, but mother, she would never have it, I was the Princess of Creation, most likely one of few demigods to be raised by their godly parent. Yes, I'm a demigod, technically, I'm a demi-primordial I guess, but that's not the point. I was raised in the Underworld by my mother, Chaos. Sure, it's nice, but I'd rather live the life of a real half-blood, not this perfection, I want danger, a reason to live! I know, there are tons of demigods who would kill for a life like mine, but it gets tiresome. Can you even say you live if you never face a threat? If everything is perfect? If you experience little to no emotion? Honestly, it just makes me think of this one quote, 'A life that lives without doing anything is the same as a slow death', who said it, no idea but it just proves one thing, that life is for living, not staying in a palace of perfections, a palace that seems as endless as the void itself. Today, I would be leaving the house for one of my weekly trips around the underworld, today, I would visit the area closest to Hades's palace without nearing too much, today, I would explore a little farther than before. So, with that, I ate my food and left the two pet bowls for Kairo and Tayyo on their respective perches before picking up a small bag of emergency supplies and going out the palace's main door, guarded by two large Nemean Lion, Euro and Bri. With a flick of my wrist and a glare, the lions moved out of the way and I made my way in the direction of Hades Palace.

x-x-x

I finally arrived in my planned destination, the area right around Hades Palace. I smiled a little before walking around the area. I felt a presence beside me and turned to see a girl, she looked sad, alone, lost in her own world. Kairo hovered in the air above me. I was surprised she hadn't noticed us yet. With nothing better to do, I cleared my throat to gain her attention. She turned over to me, surprise etched on her features. "Hi?" I said, stating it as more of a question than an actual greeting.

"Hello..." She looked at me with Tartarus brown eyes, fascinating.

"Who are you? You look a little too alive to be dead." It probably wasn't the best start off but, it's the underworld, seeing someone alive isn't common.

"Same to you. I'm Soren Artello." She introduced. "You?"

"Thank you." I snickered. "So, name wise, do you want the simple or the true version?"

"Pardon?"

"Long or short, basically."

"How about both..?"

"Alright. I'm Lampró Astéri tou Laoú Pistoí Sto Cháos or Hope Chaos." I replied, watching her expression morph.

"You're name, it's very... Greek." She stated.

"Quite. Not my choice though, my mother believed that a Greek name was the best thing. So I'm Shining Heart of the People Loyal to Chaos or, preferably, Hope." I said with a laugh. "Oh, and this is my best friend and guardian, Kairo, the last living of his kind." I smiled fondly at the icy blue bird beside me.

"Right, living. Why are you in the Underworld when you're still alive?" She gazed at me curiously.

"I could as you the same thing but alright, it's because of my mother, she prefers I stay in her hidden... area. She allows me to wander the underworld once a week so I don't get too bored." I explained.

"Alright..? Who's you're mother?" She was curious, it was annoying.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." I said seriously.

"I'm a child of Hades, I'm sure I can handle it." She mused, a stupid grin on her face.

"Child of Hades, huh? Fine, I'm the one and only demigod daughter of Chaos." I watched as her face transformed into a look of complete disbelief. "Yup, you're father's Great-Great Grandmother."

"H- Bu- That's not possible! Chaos has no demigod children!" Soren exclaimed finally.

"It's quite possible. She saw a mortal, one she found quite charming, and I came to be. I'm a reminder of the world she has created, as well as her most treasured possession, yes, to her I am a mere possession, a thing." I growled bitterly.

"You wish to be treated as what you are, don't you? If she treated you like a normal demigod, you'd be fighting for you're life in the world above, monsters are relentless." She said coldly. "You're better off here, protected from harm."

"You don't get it do you? Monsters are smart enough not to attack me, my only threat are the gods. I'd much prefer to be fighting for my life than living in my mother's perfect little void. I live a meaningless life, no risks, no feelings, no desire, no anything. No need to try, to work. I want a reason to live! Tell me, is a life without living a life at all?! A life without living is the same as a slow and meaningless death! You're a child of Hades, so understand, that I don't intend to die a meaningless death." My voice was filled with rage. Soren looked at me astonished, astonished that someone, a demigod no less, would give up their perfect life just to fight, even once, and to have a reason to live, even if in a deadly life.

"Y-you'd give up a life that any demigod would dream of just so you end up fighting for it?" She asked.

"Yes! I'd do anything to be able to truly live, even if it meant losing everything I have, everything, except Kairo and Teyyo." I said softly, tears filling my eyes. "I can't go to the world above though, my mother would find me." I sighed, tears streaking shamelessly down my face.

"You want it that much? Well, if you can't go above yourself, why not send someone to go for you, have someone devise a plan to get you free?" Soren asked innocently.

"Who would do that!?" I sobbed. "I certainly couldn't send Kairo or Teyyo, nor Euro or Bri."

"I would. If you truly want this as badly as I think you do, then I would, I'd find a way to help you get to Earth, to live a real life. I'd go for you. I'd be you're hope for a new life, Hope. Call me the Guardian of the Hope remaining in you."

"Soren, that's a great idea!" My eyes lit up, not only did I have someone to help me get out of this literal hell-hole but I had an idea, a perfect idea.

Me: Alright! A good start I guess. This chapter certainly could've been better though. So, before anyone comments about this, just because most fans see Chaos as a male doesn't mean she is! If you look into the actual goddess of nothing, then you would clearly see she's a girl. Chaos is the creator of everything, the mother of everything. Don't believe me? Look it up, a bit of thorough research (or simply looking up what gender Chaos is) then you'll find that Chaos is indeed a girl. Okay, my rant aside, please read and review! I'd greatly appreciate it!

Soren: Also, next chapter, our special guests will be introduced, well, at least one of 'em, so be ready.

Hope: Remember, that every word I speak in this, is the truth, as it was
