Chapter 1: Percy's Awakening

Percy has fought against so many different beings, Kronos, Hyperion, Atlas, and Gaea to name a few. After fighting for so long, Percy was hoping that he may finally get a well-deserved break or maybe a retirement.

"Percy!"

Percy's eyes snap open. So much for wishful thinking. He's resting on his bed in the Poseidon cabin which he has to himself while Tyson is helping the other cyclopes restock Olympus' armory. He turns his head and sees Hermes standing over him with a grin.

"Hey Perce. You up?" Percy can see a weird glint in Hermes' eyes.

"I am now. What do you want, oh great prankster messenger god?" I try to stifle a yawn after napping for a few hours.

"Zeus wants to see you at noon. He's calling for a full council meeting. Not sure what's up myself. He's keeping this one close to the vest." Hermes' face changes from giddy to worried in an instant which is a weird look for a prankster god to have.

"Okay. Let me wash up and change. I will meet you outside. I'm sure Connor & Travis have a few things to get your input on." I say with a smile knowing that's one of the only ways to get him out of my room.

"No problem Perce. If you're not quick, I may have them test a few out on you." Hermes says while walking out laughing.

"NOT FUNNY HERMES!" I yell while getting out of bed.

Time Skip (Who wants to read a boring shower scene?)

I walk outside the cabin with Riptide in my pocket. Of course, Hermes isn't there waiting. I see him laughing with Connor about something.

"CONNOR! DAD! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!"

I turn to see Travis running covered in pink & orange paint with heart glitter all over him. I know I have to try to hold my laughter in otherwise they may turn this on me. I decide to save Hermes as Travis gets close.

"Hey Hermes, isn't time to go see Uncle Zeus? You know how he likes it when you're late to these meetings." I add the last part to see if I can stop his laughter in it's tracks.

It does.

"Haha-Huh? Of course. Sorry sons, I have got to take Perce up to Olympus for a council meeting okay? We can plan some more later." He gives Connor a hug while avoiding touching Travis so he doesn't get any paint on himself.

Hermes walks over to me and places a hand on my shoulder. "You ready to go?"

"Yeah, let's do it."

With a bright light, we arrive in the entrance hall of the Olympus Throne Room. As I look around, I see that only Hermes and myself are here.

"Stay here while I summon everyone okay?"

With a nod, Hermes walks over to the center of the room and shoots a yellow beam of light into the air, signaling a meeting. Within moments, everyone flashes in and takes their seats in their thrones.

Zeus stands up, "Ah, nephew. Welcome. I would like to personally thank you for your help over these past years and your loyalty to Olympus. I know I haven't been the best Uncle to you and would like to make it up to you." The looks on Poseidon's & Hera's faces, makes me wish I brought a camera, priceless.

"Thank you Uncle. I understand your fear of the prophecy though that Olympus was threatened. However, doesn't mean my forgiveness will be that simple or easy." Inwardly, I was not expecting Zeus to say anything like this to me. This however does make me wonder.

"While your apology is appreciated, I don't think you asked for a council meeting for this."

"You are right, nephew. I know you have rejected my offer of godhood twice now but I would like to offer it to you again. Please let me finish before you answer." Zeus says with an almost caring tone which I couldn't tell was genuine or just for show.

"Fair enough Uncle. Please continue."

"Thank you Percy. Perseus "Percy" Jackson, Son of Poseidon, Hero of Olympus, Bane of Kronos and Destroyer of Gaea, as King of Olympus, I would like to offer you godhood and a place on the Olympian Council. I will allow any matters involving demigods such as quests, laws, rewards, punishments, etc. be decided upon by you. If the Fates allow, make you the God of Heroes & Demigods." I could tell this was serious since Zeus was completely sincere and saying this in an official type voice.

"Wow Uncle. That is one Hades of an offer."

"HEY! Please stop using my name to curse. Otherwise I will have the furies torment you everytime you try to sleep!" Hades yells at me from my right.

"Okay, sorry. Bad habit. Please keep them away from me." I pleaded to my other Uncle.

"No problem nephew. Continue." Hades chuckles. That prankster side of him is sometimes just scary.

If I accepted Zeus' offer, not only would I become a god but I would have say so over all demigod matters. I could allow gods to see their children again. I could help prevent another issue like Luke's resentment occurring.

The previous times that rejected the offer was because of Annabeth. However, now that was no longer an issue. After returning from Tartarus, we realized how much we both had changed. We were not the same people. After just 2 months after returning, we decided to split amicably. We chose to remain friends.

However, another thing I began to notice is that I felt that I was missing a piece of myself somewhere. With Annabeth, the hole temporary filed but after Tartarus, the hole is feeling more empty than ever.

"I accept your offer Lord Zeus if you swear on the Styx to abide by the terms. I will do the same for Olympus." I decided this way in case Zeus tries to remove the power from me at any time for any reason.

"Very well. I, Zeus, King of Olympus, swear on the River Styx to abide by the offer I made to Percy Jackson as long as he swears loyalty to Olympus."

"I, Percy Jackson, swear on th-" Swear on Chaos, young Percy. Who was that? The voice sounded ancient but resonated with so much power I shivered.

"Percy?" Everyone was looking at me. Zeus was looking at me with concern which was surprising.

"Sorry, everyone. I just wanted to make sure I phrased it correctly. I, Percy Jackson, swear-" on Chaos. There's that voice again. I don't know who you are, but I will play along for now. "...on Chaos my neverending loyalty to Olympus for as long as I am an Olympian God." I feel a huge surge of power rip thru my mind and study not just my words but my emotions and intention behind them. I'm immediately surrounded by a white light. I feel the immortal power feeding into me, my blood turning to ichor. The connections to the sea being enhanced and strengthen. All impurities from my mortality being purged from my system, leaving me pure. It feels like it takes minutes when it only took a matter of seconds to complete.

"Uh, Percy. Chaos Oath's are -" My father, Poseidon began but then a huge black oval portal opens to my right. It looks like the universe itself. Out of the portal walks a woman whose beauty, I'm not ashamed to say, surpasses Aphrodite's.

"Why have you sworn on my name, young Perseus?" Chaos asked me, her voice sounding like honey and peace. I feel my very power within me sing and rejoice. When my eyes connect to hers, I hear the same ancient voice. It is time. She has found you, her mate. She will love you as no other, Percy. Please protect and love my daughter. If you hurt her, the Void will be the least of your worries. I can feel the presence leave my mind. At the same time, I feel a burning sensation on my palm.

"OW!" "OW!" I notice that both Chaos and myself say it at the same time. I look at her then back at my palm, a weird symbol has burned into my right palm. It takes me a few moments to decipher it but the book Annabeth lent me last year comes into my mind. The Mark of Chaos. Why is the Mark of Chaos burned into my palm? I look at Chaos who is staring at her left palm with wide eyes. She then glances at my palm then my eyes. I understand, she wants to see the mark. I turn my palm towards her. I can physically see her gulp and gasp at the same time. She turns her palm around. When I see the mark, I completely go still.

Trident with a sideways crescent moon above it

It's a mark that I had scribbled just a few days ago trying to think of a symbol that could represent me. What the hell is going on?

Three gray flashes occur signalling the arrival of the Fates.


AN: Surprise! I felt so urged to get the next chapter out, I wrote this in about 3 hours. Please let me know what you think. As of this moment, the pairing is just Percy/Chaos. However, I am currently leaving it open to include a hunter such as Artemis, Thalia and/or Zoe.
