Chapter 2

However even before the titans were born, even before chaos became corrupt with power, and lust to destroy the universe and rebuild it again, there was a girl. Not just any girl, but a daughter of the omnipotent, infernal Primordial called Tartarus. She was the image of power, just standing next to her and experiencing the divine power radiating off this girl in waves, was pure enough to clean even the most corrupt and heartless souls. Even the most callous beings would coo at this figure. Her name was Persephone Skia Jackson, or as she liked to be called,Shadow. She was the result of a broken oath, an oath made on the most binding, irrevocable being. Chaos. The father of the primordials, and the creator of the universe. An omnipotent, omnipresent being, able to take a solid form. He also has a true, divine form, but if he were to release that in his rage at Tartarus, the events would be cataclysmic. Tartarus knew of the punishment that would come if he were to brake his oath, but he truly loved this women, and he could no help himself. The women in question was a mortal called Sally Elizabeth Jackson. She was not anything special but her kind, benevolent character was more than any being mortal or divine could not compare to.

Flashback:

He met her at a bar in Las Vegas, she worked as a bartender, and constantly had guys fighting for her. That was how he met her, when he saved her from an unwilling relationship with a muscle man. He threatened her, pushed her around, flirted with her constantly, but she was disgusted by his arrogant attitude. Tartarus had no idea what came over him, but he felt like his body was being controlled, as he saved her from this jerk. The man was an intimidating 6ft 2, and had a slightly muscled body. Any woman would kill to be with him, but not one who actually had a brain, he was a womaniser, moving from one person to the next, leaving behind broken hearts. Tartarus could have just read his mind to find out all this, but he didn't have to his behaviour showed it all. He had a slightly large build, with a small amount of muscle, but he was nothing compared to Tartarus. He was a tall person standing at a full hight of 6ft10, a broad frame, and huge muscles bulging on his arms and legs. An 8 pack could be clearly seen through the tight black muscle shirt that adorned his frame. But even all that, was not his scariest feature, that privilege belonged to his eyes. They were like black holes, sucking you in, showing all your fears and creating little voices that nagged at your mind whispering in your ear the things you fear to be told the most, slowly sending your sanity crashing down, and sending you into a madness no-one could cure. His aura left you feeling hollow, deprived of all hope, wondering why you should even be alive.

"Excuse me sir, is there a problem here,"Tartarus growled out, his voice sounding like all of your inner demons screaming at you at once.

"Who do you think you are mor...!"The muscle man said indignantly, turning to meet the voice that questioned him, but all hopes of intimidating Tartarus crumbled, when he saw his face, his eyes showing the jerks worst fears. He trembled at what he thought he would do to him if he would be to anger him.

"My name is of no importance to you, now tell me why you are flirting with this pretty woman, while she is clearly, not interested. I can see through your big boy act, I know your worst fears, your worst memories, and I could make them come to life for you with a snap of my fingers."

"Who are you,"the muscle man squeaked again, hoping that the figure was lying but what if it was true. Tartarus bent down and spoke in his ear

"I am all of your fears, all of your nightmares and all of your demons combined, I have the power to make you experience everyone one of those things with a thought, you want to know who I am. I am Tartarus, God of the Abyss, and your end!" Then without a moments hesitation, Tartarus' eyes pulsed, and the man fell to he ground screaming, covering his ears with his hands, and screwing his eyes closed. Then he stopped moving, dead, his mortal mind could not handle his aura of madness and fear, he had only shown him a fraction of it, and only for a split second, but that was more than enough. Sally stared at this man in wonder, and fear. The primordial god Tartarus was right in front of her and just sent a man spiralling in to madness for her. She wondered why, what she did not know was that she was actually an angel.

A literal angel, fallen from heaven, her memories of GOD'S palace erased from her mind, it was a test, a test to see if she was as pure hearted as Christ thought she was. She was broken out her thoughts of why the god would help her.

"Whats your name pretty one?"Tartarus had questioned her, although she did not want to respond, she knew that she should not anger the being in front of her.

"Sally, my lord, Sally Elizabeth Jackson."she explained, dropping to her knees at glueing her eyes to floor. When Tartarus asked her why she was bowing, she responded quickly, telling him that she was bowing because he was a primordial. When she then proceeded to ask why she was allowed the honour of being in his presence, he had sighed an told her to stand up.

"I may be a primordial, but I do not truly deserve respect. I torture people, subjecting them to madness for all eternity." He remorsed, tears threatening to spill from his eyes. They soon warmed up to each other, telling their partner of their history. After that sally gave Tartarus her phone number, and they decided to meet up the next day. After a week, they took the next step, that was how Persephone was conceived, in a London Hospital.

That brought him to the stage he is at now, getting yelled at by Chaos for breaking the unbreakable Oath. He was Supposed to go to the Void. However when he looked in to tartarus' mind he saw why he had fallen for her. He let him go, sentencing him to not be able to see his daughter for 500yrs. Tartarus was heart broken but told Sally and she understood. So Percy grew up with a mother, and a step father, called Gabe Ugliano, and he was a pig. He was even worse than the man that Percy's real father had killed, as Sally had told him who his father was, and even though she was told not to, she practised his powers she inherited from him. This included Control over shadow fire, telekinesis, make blood boil, summon monsters under his command, limited creation(sword, dagger, bow, throwing knives, Plegathon for food/drink,Jewellery) gravity, tunnels, energy, earth, torture, natural disaster The most powerful of all, Destruction(Minor Primordial Power) She hated Gabe, he was a pig, a womaniser, he was worse than all of the monsters Percy could summon put together! She was tortured, forced to experience the Christian Hell, made to see all her fears come to life. How? Gabe was Lucifers Personal Torturer! Percy realized this was why she constantly saw the Chthonian, Infernal pit of Hell 24hrs a day, 7days a week, 365 days a year. She saw things no child should see. Things that would make Chaos himself wet his pants.

Eventually, after 2 yrs Percy became used to this, and the things she saw did not bother her. Then there was that fateful day, Percy had come home from school to see Gabe waiting for her. A huge trident in his hand, not just anyone , though. This was The Devils personal weapon and whatever it touched would be subjected to the most perilous place that ever existed, more powerful than the Realm Of The Faded, and more macabre than Hell. The Void, the emptiness of the universe. Being subjected to it, would cause even Chaos, and his brother Order to fade instantly. But before she could move, it was plunged into her heart, and was sucked straight off the face of the earth, and in to that exact place full of horrors.

This is what It felt like: Imagine feeling all of your fears come true at once, the force of one million supernova's trying to rip you apart at the same time, imagine being ripped apart, bit by bit. Then multiply that by a thousand. That was how truly agonizing and excruciating the pain was. Percy was subject to this for about ten seconds on earth, but was actually one hundred years in the Void. Eventually when it finally seemed like she would be blasted into oblivion by the sheer force of everything, she was transported back in to her body. She saw Gabe grinning in front of her, but when he saw Percy open his eyes, Gabe's look turned to that of absolute horror and disbelief etched on his face.

"H-h-ho-ho-how...!?"He stuttered slowly moving back, away from the being in front of him that was powerful enough to endure the Void. And Survive. Percy was in such pain, that she instantly fell to the floor in agony.

After a few seconds she stood up and it felt like all his pain went away, the dams that were holding his power were obliterated, and she stood in absolute ecstasy. She felt the best she ever had in her life. She turned towards Gabe and gave him a grin only a maniac would be able to give.

"Well Well, look like I past your little trick. Now come here to meet your demise."Percy cackled insanely, breaking Gabe from his train of thoughts. Percy was over one-thousand years old now, and he could smell fear. It was like a bag of sniffing salts had been waved underneath her nose, the smell of Gabe's terror. Then, Gabe did the stupidest thing he could have. He charged.

Percy watched as he charged waiting for the right moment to act, then, she saw her chance. She killed him mercilessly with no regrets using the same staff Gabe had used on her and ran to the forest.
