Chapter 2

A few years later. Ancient Greece.

Percy stood a few feet away from his brother, Cadmus.

He waited for tell-tale signs of an attack, when non came, he decided to attack first.

They both charged at the same time, causing the swords to collide with a huge clang!

Percy struggled to push his half-brother back. Cadmus, being two years older than the raven haired hero, easily beat him with knowledge in sword fighting.

Percy knew this and tried different types of maneuvers to disarm his brother. He raised his sword and made a direct attack on his brother's sword. The attack surprised Cadmus, causing release his grip on the sword slightly. Percy did a simple disarming technique by twisting the sword out of Cadmus' grip and flung it as far as possible from him.

Cadmus thought of ways to retrieve his sword back. In the mean time, Percy held his sword at his brother's neck. He grinned. "I win."

I don't think so, his brother thought as he dived forward of Percy and turned. His elbow slammed in to Percy's rib cage, driving all the air out from his chest. He felt Percy loosen his grip on his sword and twisted the sword away from him.

He then landed one final kick on his brother, causing him to fly backwards and hitting the wall of the courtyard. He leveled his sword at his Adam's Apple.

Percy scowled at him. "You cheated." He shook his head, "It's called taking advantage." Percy opened his mouth to make a smart retort when he heard the sound of their mother's ear-splitting scream.

The two brothers locked eyes. A silent understanding passed through them. Cadmus made a dive for his sword while Percy ran into the living room.

"Come out, you worthless sea spawn!" A voice thundered from the second level bedroom. Cadmus joined his brother as they climbed up the staircase.

They both widen their eyes as they saw the King of Gods towering over their mother's dead body. "Where are you!" His eyes darted around the room, searching for his target.

Percy got out from his hiding spot and stared at the god. He pointed his sword at his step mother. "What did you do to her." He spat.

Zeus smirked at the puny demigod. "The same thing I did to your biological mother." Percy's eyes widen in anger. He charged at him.

The god recovered from his shock of the foolish demigod charging at him and raised his master bolt. Percy slashed at the gods chest with such power that caused Golden Inchor, the blood of Immortals, to trickle down.

Zeus stared at the wound then back to the worthless sea spawn. He threw his master bolt.

Percy watched as his life flicker past his eyes as the few thousand megawatt of electricity flew at his direction. Cadmus, however, didn't hesitate.

He threw himself at the bolt's direction, intercepting it. He scream and clawed at his chest as the pain spread from his chest, to other parts of his body.

Percy watch in horror as his brother's body twitch from the electricity coursing through his body. The smell of burning flesh clung in the air. He fought down the urge to puke at the sky god, though it would have made his brother's death worth it.

Zeus was unfazed by Cadmus' brotherly behavior. He master bolt reappeared in his hand, even though it wasn't as powerful like before. "Stupid." He mumbled.

Percy felt tears run down his cheek, he didn't really bond well with his brother, but that doesn't mean Zeus could cook him.

His eyes burned with hate as the skies darkened. Percy stood up, his eyes never leaving the King of Gods. He willed all the water in the palace to obey to his every command. The water accumulated behind him, all aimed at Zeus.

Zeus felt something churn in his stomach, something he only felt a few times in his life, fear.

Percy flicked his wrist at the god and the water flew into his direction, hardening in to shards of harden ice. Each one of them pierce through the skin of the immortal, one by one. As he went on his knees, Golden Inchor flowed down, forming a pool of shiny golden blood.

"Pl-please, s-stop." Zeus begged, the pain inflicted on him was unbearable. He now understood how it felt like to be bitten by millions and millions of ants. Percy, however, just stared at him, merciless. When he spoke, his voice was as cold as ice, causing Zeus to shiver momentarily.

"Why should I? You've killed those I call family, and yet, you didn't stop and think about how they felt when your asshole hands touch their bodies. You're a pathetic excuse for a god!" Percy spat. He knew there's no purpose in crying over split milk, but he didn't care. He made the water pierce through his body, over and over, until the god's body disappeared from his view.

The water stopped on their tracks as their 'master' collapsed on the floor.


Lord Erebus, Primordial Deity of Darkness, lair.

Lord Erebus sat behind his throne, watching a certain child of Poseidon.

The child had alot of power, yet he didn't know how to use or control them. He sighed as he saw a dark furred boar enter the palace.

He smiled inwardly. This is going to interesting.


Ancient Greece

Percy woke up with a pounding headache. Damn, he thought.

The sky outside was slowly darkening, with a little dark red tinge to it. How long was I out?

He shook his head slightly, his memories coming back to him. Sooner or later someone would come looking for Zeus, and when they come, he didn't want to be here.

He looked at his brother's and step mother's bodies sadly. Zeus will pay for this. He sent a silent prayer and got to his feet.

His body ached from using too much of his powers. He surveyed the room for anything useful. The hardened ice hadn't melt yet.

Percy picked it up and willed it to melt. His body healed instantly, powers coursing through his veins. He felt like he cold run miles.

The sound of someone stepping on glass echoed through the whole palace. Percy froze. He dared himself to look down from the second floor.

He hoped it would be the guards but no such luck. Instead, he saw the largest boar he has ever seen. The boar had dark red fur, like someone bathed it in blood.

It's tusks were longer than its ugly face, sharpened to be able to slice through human bone with ease. He decided to leave before the boar saw him.

He carefully walk pass his family and into his bedroom.

The one he had at his original house wasn't bigger than the bathroom here. And that was saying alot.

Percy reached for his satchel and grabbed the jars of nectar and ambrosia and stuffed the into his bag. The sound of hooves was getting closer and closer.

He checked for his sword as he prayed to his dad that Ares was as stupid as his symbol.

Once he had checked every item from his list he started to think about how he can leave without being seen by the pig. There was a sea near-by but...

Too far, the voice in his head chided. He could turn around and go to his parents bedroom.

No. He tightened his grip on the satchel and stood in to the balcony. Here goes nothing.

He jumped.

I'm going to die, I'm going to die. The words repeated in his mind like a mantra.

Percy opened his eyes when he didn't feel impact and saw that he was lying down on a water bed. He heaved a sigh of relieve.

He turned around and cast a glance to his bedroom balcony. He could still see the shiny, white tusks of the razorback.

He used the water to his advantage and blocked up the exit of the palace. Hopefully, it can keep the boar in there longer than he expected.

He elbowed his way out from the crowd. It didn't really matter, the crowd parted by itself when they saw his family emblem on his shirt.

Shouts of displease were heard and Percy turned his head, curiosity getting the best of him.

His blood ran cold when he saw the boar running through the wave of villagers. Thank the gods the boar had short legs.

He turned right on the next T junction. Wrong turn, he thought as the sight of a huge, stone wall, higher than Olympus getting closer and closer.

Percy stopped and turned round. If boars could smile, this one could.

The boar readied his tusks at the son of Poseidon. Percy unsheathed his sword and brought it in front of him.

The boar charged at speeds faster then what was possible. Purely by instinct, Percy managed to narrowly escaped death and also manged to disarm the boar with a quick swipe from his sword.

Avoiding death comes with a price. As the boar charged at him, its tusks grazed his side, causing blood to flow out slowly, but surely.

It readied itself for round two. This time, instantly going for the kill. The boar knocked aside Percy's weapon as he charged, swing his head to one side.

Percy was once again cornered. The young hero slid on to his butt, waiting for death. Sensing it's prey's surrender, the boar smiled again.

It charged. Percy prayed to Hades that it would be a quick death. Seconds past, then minutes.

No attack came. Praying he was right, he saw a dark figure standing in front of him. Percy could feel power rolling of him like waves, stronger than Zeus.

The boar hesitated. The man grunted and summoned a shadow. Hades?

The shadow solidified itself as a figure of a Greek warrior. The warrior unsheathed it sword and went head on with the boar.

The man turned. Percy thought that Hades would look more...deathly than this.

The god wore a completely black standard Greek amour. His skin was darker than the usual gods. And by that he meant Poseidon, his dad.

He was muscular, but not too much. His eyes were pure black, darker than midnight. His hair was also the same color, closely cropped raven black hair.

The guy smiled warmly at Percy. Shocking him. "Perseus." He spoke.

He also did not expect the god of the dead to speak so warmly. "Hades?" He asked, skeptical.

The guy frowned. "Hades is the god of the dead. I'm no god of the dead, in fact I love mortals, like you." He pointed at Percy.

Percy frowned. "Then who are you?" The guy gave him a sly smile. "You guess." He stepped aside and pointed at the shadow warrior. Where the boar should have been, was a pile of yellow dust. He recalled his dad saying that monsters, when killed, turned into yellow dust, as its essence entered Tartarus.

He raked his brain for a answer. "Um... let me guess. Erebus? The Primordial Deity of Darkness?"

The Primordial Deity smiled. "Bingo!"

Percy's eyes widened and he bowed, as much as he could in his sitting position. "nNow now. No need for formalities, shall we?" He gestured for Percy to stop bowing.

"No offence, Lord Erebus, but why are you here?" Percy questioned. Erebus frowned.

"I'm not too sure myself, but I heard someone needed a guardian and help. So poof, I'm here."

"But why me? there's got to be other people way better than me."

"Because, you have a destiny you must face. I'm here to help you make sure you won't die when the day comes. Besides, it's getting dark, you don't want to be spending your night here."

Percy hesitated. Erebus sighed. "If I wanted to kill you, I would've done that like, minutes ago, don't you think?"

"Fine."

Erebus smiled and snapped his fingers. The yellow dust turned back into the ugly boar. Percy hid behind my new guardian.

The boar looked at Erebus like it was its master. "Percy, give me your hand."

Not wanting to offend to Primordial Deity, he extended his hand. He took out a knife. It was as black as midnight, with a similarly black handle. "This will hurt, but the gods wouldn't be searching for you any time soon."

Before Percy can ask him what he meant, the Primordial ran the cold blade against his hand. The blood trickled onto the boar with the help of Erebus' powers.

He winced. Erebus cleaned the blade, before looking up at his new champion. Even if he didn't know it yet. He then turned his attention back to the boar.

"Tell your master Perseus Jackson is gone. You never had this conversation, all you remember is that you killed him, right at this spot." He told the boar. The boar gave him a slight nod before running away.

"Now, Percy, how would you like to have powers of your own?" He asked the now curious Son of Poseidon.

"That depends on what powers they are."

Erebus smiled. "That's the spirit." He said, before snapping his fingers.

Percy looked at his new parent, he cocked to one side. He watched as a shadow covered him and Erebus, before teleporting them both into the lair of Darkness.
