AN/ Sooo guys (well guy (or gal) AEIDFT your my only follower anyway) well I'm not even going to try and explain why I haven't updated because really? I have absolutely no reason apart from; 'I'm lazy and I completely forgot I even had a fanfiction story and….. Oooops don't kill me' Anyway 1st chapter (that was a prologue the one before) and Percy is not going to be pared with anyone if you were wondering however there will be a large amount of solangelo so, if you don't like solangelo I recommend that you skip over those parts. *insert sheepish grin here*
Quick DISCLAIMER: I do not own PJO or HoO they belong to Grampa Rick
WARNING: There is a lot of graphic torture scenes so anyone with a week stomach, hold on tight. And also swearing? Pfff no swearing here….
Jax (Percy) P.O.V.
My eyes snapped open. I heard a miniscule rustling coming from behind my back, I spun on my purple converse high-tops to face the noise. The bushes quivered like a tight muscle after a large electric shock, I speak from experience, not a pleasant feeling.
"Nico, really? That's the best you can do?" I chuckled. Nico stood from his place crouched in the gardenias.
"Aww Jax (Percy), not again. How do you do this? Really dude?" Nico sighed in exasperation.
"I dunno Nox, maybe I'm just too fabulous for you." I replied, a smirk residing on my face. I sheathed my twin blades 'Envy' and 'Revenge' back to their sheaths on my back. Nox (Nico) mockingly looked up at the stars "Oh Jax, if only one day I could be like you!" Nox reached for me jokingly like a love struck puppy. I was about to retort when the back on my wrist lit up a message
"X COME X MEET X WITH X ME X IMMEDIETLY X CHAOS X" I my head snapped up to meet Nox's (Nico's) eyes.
"Come on then, it seems we have another mission" I told Nox. Anyone watching would have been confused, the two young adults disappeared into what seemed like thin air but what was really a door way through the 'Karui'

Jax (Percy) P.O.V.
I surfaced from the Karui in the Chaos's throne room with Nix and the other members of the Lost. I stood directly in front of Chaos, I quickly took to one knee as did the others.
"Rise my children" Chaos boomed "You know that you do not need to kneel before me". We quietly did as instructed and rose from our positions on the floor.
"Chaos, why did you summon this at this hour?" I inquired as I looked around at the others. Trix (Daughter of Aphrodite) was wearing pink combat boots and black seat, with her mace by her side, Lux (Luke) was wearing a black tux shirt with the jacket around his face with… No pants… The other were just as dishevelled with Enox as an exception, he was wearing a pink ruffled dress and black stilettos. Yes, that's normal for Enox, he's always been like that. Chaos paused for a long time, there was almost silence except for the frustrated tapping of Grodix's Vans on the polished, ebony marble floor of the Throne Room, or as Lux calls it, The Chaotic Chamber. Until finally Chaos replied
"I have a new mission for you…" I interrupted "Sir, sorry old habits, why the big fuss? This is our 143 mission…"Chaos retorted
"Well Pers-Jax, I'm sorry I didn't mean to! Jax, Jax?" but it was too late I was gone.
I resurfaced on my balcony, just in earshot, well if you could call it that with my amplified hearing. I could still understand what was going on in the Throne Room. Rubix (son of Athena) stepped forward "Chaos, it's alright he'll be back he always is. Please go on."
Chaos looked at him and rubbed his forehead "Yes, thankyou Rubix. As I was saying this mission is different to all the others by only one important detail. Where it is." He paused and looked up at my balcony as though he knew that I was there. "The mission, it's on Earth, back at Camp Half Blood." Lux (Luke) dropped to his knees, his face buried in his hands. Trix glared at Chaos spitefully before crouching down to coax Lux (Luke) back into reality again. Nox (Nico) whispered "Why? You know most of us have a past there. You said, you promised!" Nox (Nico) was shouting now "You promised us we would never have to go back! You promised us…" He stormed out but was followed by Forx (Leo). I knew they were coming to tell me, even if I didn't, I wouldn't want to know. I jumped off of my balcony, hurdling the steel railings. I hit the ground with force that propelled me into a run, I ran, and I ran. I knew that I would not stop until I had figured everything out. This was how I knew what to do. Some people punch walls, listen to music, I prefer physical exertion. On some days I would train for hours without sitting down. Others I would swim for days on end without touching the bottom. The bigger the problem, the harder I trained, I knew that this would take more than a few hours to figure out.
-Line-Break-
Nox (Nico) P.O.V.
I paced the Brition halls, the rhythm of my feet striking twice a second. "Nox!" Lux (Luke) called "Come on man! He'll come back, just give him some time. Even ask Rubix!"
"I know" I complained as I sat down on the carved wooden benches "It's the longest he's been gone in 20 years!" I gazed at the long rich wall hangings suspended from the long beams on the ceiling.
"I know bro, he was on a record and everything!" Lux (Luke) replied starkly only to have a smack on the head from his girlfriend Hoax (Daughter of Circe).Suddenly the huge oak doors at the end of the hall smashed open with a huge crash, silencing the smattering of conversation among the Lost. In strode Jax (Percy). I let out an audible sigh of relief as the Runner as he is called sat down among the ten of us.
"Jax (Percy)! You were gone for three and a half days! I was worried sick." Exclaimed Diorix (Daughter of Nemesis) and embraced Jax. "Hahahaha Jax ma man! Where ya been bruh?" Forx shouted before joining in on the now 'group hug' I was completely squashed next between Korgix and Forgix (Twin brother and sister of Ares) as they are both at least twice the size of me. I had filled out of the 300 years I've been in the Lost but seriously for a girl Forgix was huge! Jax grimaced "Guys, please …. GET OFF!" but grinned "Seriously I need to go guys, or my legs will never forgive me" "Oh…." The entire group simultaneously let go of Jax (Percy) who collapsed onto a bench and looked out the window until Forgix asked "So Jax, what did you do this time?"
Jax (Percy) shrugged "Just walked a little and then stayed with a lovely family who served a mouth-watering French roasted duck. But I'm only tired from the walk back" I cocked my head curiously, Jax (Percy) had told me before that he hated Duck and the French (it's a long story) so why did he talk about duck being a meal he loved? "As much as this conversation is absolutely riveting, I must vacate this wonderful evening with you all, to change my clothes, as they are in quite a state" Jax (Percy) stated with much sarcasm then sauntered off up the stairs. I quickly excused myself and hurried up the flights of stairs in Jax's (Percy's) wake.
