Percy POV

Dream

"Glad you could make it Perce." Aether said as I sat down on my throne and looked at all the other immortals in the room curiously. "What's up?" I said looking at everyone. "Any sign on Order's remaining forces?" Void questioned. I shook my head.

"The last location they were at was here." I pulled up a map of the universe and pointing at an asteroid belt. "But when I went there myself, there was nothing there. Just hundreds of destroyed planes and air crafts that Order's men must've used to escape." "Or try to." Aether said while I nodded. "Did they kill themselves to avoid capture?" Athena suggested, but me and Hades shook our heads.

"I would've sensed their souls enter the Underworld." "Plus, if they did kill themselves, then where are the bodies?" I looked at her. "Surely someone would notice seven billion dead bodies floating around space." I looked back at the map.

"We were only a day or two behind them," Artemis said. Everyone looked at her. "How do seven billion soldiers vanish that quickly? Along with all their supplies?" "Plus they had to also take their wounded," dad said looking at me.

"Son, you said more than half were wounded, correct?" I nodded. "At least three billion fighting soldiers, the rest were injured." "That would also slow them down." He said till I realized something. "Mother," I said. She looked at me. "Yes son." "Have you felt a pull in No Man's Land?" She nodded.

"Uh Percy," father said confused. "Yes?" "What's No Man's Land?" All the Olympians and minor gods looked at me. "Erebus, if you would put it in simple terms please." "It's a graveyard." They looked at him in shock and slight horror. "Yes it is a graveyard," Nyx said glaring at me and Erebus. "But we call it that because no one has ever made it out." "Every ship that heads in there never comes back. But lately, the gravity has been pulling everything towards it, like there's something there." Chaos said zooming in on No Man's Land.

"That's it?" Hera questioned while we nodded. "Lives up to its name, doesn't it?" I said seeing millions of ships in pieces and supplies floating around, giving it a eerie look.

Aphrodite shivered. "It certainly does." "How did it...earn its name?" Athena said curiously and warily. "Order and Chaos ruled the Universe together but people feared Order and favored Chaos more. When they fought for the Universe, billions fled for safety. But due to lack of food and supplies, they died out here. Some years later, people say No Man's Land was the only thing Void created which is true, besides Chaos and Order, whom he also created, which is also true. Like I said before, if you tried to enter the Void without me or Void himself granting you permission, it will crush you," I said.

And they," Hermes pointed at the massive mixture of deep space, raw power, and destroyed ships. "Tried to enter without you or Void's permission, but failed?" We nodded. "If they know they can't enter, why do they continue to try?" Demeter said curiously while Aether smirked. "Percy's achievements...inspire people." The Olympians turned towards me.

"Inspire?" Dad questioned while he nodded, still smirking at me. "Making the impossible possible is something people are determined to do, and venturing into No Man's Land is one of them."

"If they wish to enter, why don't they ask for your permission?" Athena said curiously. "Multiple reasons," Hemera said. "As you all know, Percy uses fake identies to hide who he really is." "The other is no one except us knows Void is actually alive." Nyx said while they nodded.

"Back to the topic at hand," I said aggravated. "Something is in No Man's Land, but what?" I mused staring at the map. "Look Percy." Dad said pointing at No Man's Land.

"What is that?" He said curiously and shocked. I looked to where he was pointing at and saw a hole starting to open up around the edges of No Man's Land. "A wormhole." Me and Chaos said in shock as a ship came out, a supply ship but a ship nonetheless.

"How is that possible?" Nyx questioned, looking at Chaos. "The raw power and force would crush it, right?" A terrifying thought entered my head. "Is it possible," everyone looked at me. "Order's army escaped using wormholes?" Everyone's eyes widened.

"That isn't possible," Erebus said shaking his head. "Is it?" He questioned as Athena spoke. "But aren't wormholes within yours and Chaos's domains?" We shook our heads. "Let me give you a small lesson on wormholes." I said standing up from my throne.

"Wormholes are at random. After years of research, we don't know much about them. No immortal in this room has wormholes as a domain, nor do we have control of them. Since it requires some type of substance that helps keep it open. We don't know how to create them plus they appear at random and not often, but over these past thousand years, they've been popping up left and right." "Quick interruption Percy," Ouranos said. I nodded and gestured for him to continue.

"As you know, over the years we've had small reports about wormholes, is it possible that it was Order's forces moving around?" I nodded. "If we think this is how they got away from us, then it is most likely. Wormholes that have opened up near planets reported to us men in white armor appeared, asking for supplies then leaving. It must've been them grabbing supplies for their wounded." I looked back at Athena.

"Jordan Watson. Successor of Thesis, along with the Thesis House have been experimenting with wormholes longer than I can remember." I said thoughtful till I realized I went off track. "One problem is their size, the largest we've seen is ten to thirty-thirty three centimeters." Their eyes widened. "Not very big," Artemis said while we nodded. "But as the universe expanded, so did their size." Gaea said gesturing to the wormhole that was closing up.

"Another problem is stability." Hermes and Apollo frowned. "What's that?" Artemis scowled at her twin brother's stupidity and smacked him in the back of the head, making him yelp. "Stable." Athena said annoyed. They both made small o's with their mouths. "Usually they don't stay open very long." "But that one did." We nodded. "Yes, that one did indeed." Void said.

"You said a substance helps keep a wormhole open," Artemis said. "Do you know what it is?" "After years of research, Jordan said a wormhole containing 'exotic' matter could stay open and unchanging for long periods of time, like that one." Everyone frowned, even Void. "Exotic matter," Nyx said looking at me. "I've never heard of that. What is it?" "He came up with a insane theory, it doesn't make sense." My dad spoke. "Usually, the crazy things are the right things." Everyone nodded.

"True," I said. "I guess I'll tell you. Since wormholes and this 'exotic' matter don't pop up in anyone's domain and since it's such a powerful domain. He thinks they belong to two unknown primordials." Everyone's eyes widened, but the primordials eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. "W-What?" Aether said in shock. Everyone looked at Chaos and Void. As if demanding an explanation.

"Wasn't me," Void said shaking his head. "All I created was No Man's Land, Chaos and Order." "I only created my children." Chaos said shaking her head."No more, no less." All eyes turned toward me.

"What are you looking at me for?" I said confused till I suddenly realized why they were looking at me. "Are you trying to accuse me of cheating on my wife?" I demanded. They quickly shook their heads. "No of course not." Dad said shaking his head, "Then what are you trying to say?" "Son," I looked at Chaos."We aren't trying to say that. Like how I created the primordials, did you create any children?"

Usually, I would laugh at such a stupid question. But this time, I wasn't.

I created a few planets and stars, but creating another living person? I don't recall creating any immortal children but I feel like I did, and a lot of them.

"I don't remember me creating anything. Yes, a few planets and stars but never something like that, but I feel like I did." I said frustrated. "It's okay, son. Once you remember or find out, tell us." I nodded.

"Back to talking about wormholes," I said getting everyone off the awkward topic but I know it's still lingering in the back of everyone's head. "Jordan also said there's dark matter and anti-matter." "Let me guess," Aether said. "More domains that belong to two more unknown primordials?" I nodded, wishing I hadn't brought this up.

"He said if a wormhole contained a sufficient amount of exotic matter, added or not, it would allow a person to enter a wormhole and come out the other side safely." "But Percy," Artemis said looking at me. "There's something I don't understand," she said frowning. "What is it, daughter?" Zeus said.

"I always thought wormholes had two sides, one you enter and the other you exit, like a tube." "Yes, they do." I said still not understanding what was confusing her.

"If that ship came out, then where did it come from?" She questioned. "I think your on to something Artemis," dad said. "Indeed," I said looking at No Man's Land. "So it came from somewhere," she looked at the map. "But where?" I said frowning.

"Percy," Athena said. "You said wormholes allow a person to travel from one place to another, correct?" "Yes, why do you ask?" "Can they also connect two different universes?" Everyone stared at her in shock. "Are you trying to say that Order created his own universe?" She nodded "It makes sense in a way actually." Hemera said. Everyone looked at her.

"It isn't possible Order could move billions of soldiers through the universe without us knowing." "But remember," Chronos said. "Percy became Order. So it's someone else." "Alright hold up," I said putting my hands in a timeout gesture. "Okay, let's say Order did create his own universe." Everyone nodded.

"How did he create wormholes? We've tried to predict where one will appear and have no luck whatsoever. How is he able to use them or summon them at will? Someone has to be pulling the strings and it ain't Order's men. Someone had to have guided them and opened up the wormhole from the other side so they could escape." "Do you think it could be the these unknown primordials?" Aether said. I shrugged my shoulders as the room started to get blurry.

"You're waking up," mother said. "Here's what we'll do," I said quickly. "I want everyone in this room to study as much as possible about wormholes, keep a close eye on No Man's Land. Next time a ship pops up, stop them." Everyone nodded "Let's figure out what we're messing with before we start messing with wormholes." The room started to fade.

"Will do Percy." I heard Aether say. "I'll brief the successors and Rangers," I said. "Good luck with your kids!" I heard as the room went black.

"Daddy!" I heard as something, or better yet, someone landed on my stomach. My eyes snapped open to see Katrina, Lacey, Arina, and my two little sisters jumping on me and Vivian.

"Wake up!" They all but said as Daniel bursted through the door, his hair disheveled, eyes wide with shock and annoyance. "Get off them!" He pulled Sabrina and Michelle off us. "Their trying to sleep." Shadows swallowed them and spat them out beside the door, which they ran through, giggling like mad men while Daniel turned toward us with a guilty expression.

"Sorry, I was supposed to watch them, but it's kind of hard keeping track of six kids." I groaned slightly and fell back onto the comfortable bed, closing my eyes while Vivian sat up, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. "It's okay Daniel, it was about time for us to get up anyway." "I know mother, but you should wake up on your own time and not like...that." He gestured to the door. "Oh father," I opened an eye and looked at him. "The successors and Rangers are downstairs. Why, I don't know and Theseus is with his friends." I nodded.

"When you see Theseus, tell him to stay out of trouble. Some things popped up and I need to focus on them and not scolding my nephews and nieces." I said. He nodded and walked towards the door while I closed my eyes. "Good morning." I smiled as Vivian crawled on top of me. "Good morning." I said opening my eyes to meet the midnight blue eyes that belonged to my beautiful wife, Vivian Jackson.

"Why hello pretty lady." I said. She smiled and pressed her lips against mine. I wrapped my arms around her waist while her hands snaked around my neck as I deepened the kiss. "Oh, I also forgot to tell you dad that your friends are here..." We pulled apart, aggravated. I turned towards the door and saw Daniel, wide eyed as we sighed.

"You would think that after fifteen thousand years that would stop happening," I muttered as Vivian laughed. "What do you need son?" Vivian questioned, snapping him out of his daze. "Your friends are downstairs. Their eating up the food again." I groaned but nodded. "Tell Leo if he eats my blue pancakes again, I'm going to erase him from existence, then bring him back and do it again." He nodded as Vivian got off me.

"Thank you Daniel. Will you take the girls with you and check up on your grandma and grandpa? They seem to be the only people who can calm them down." He nodded and closed the door.

I turned around to see Vivian giving me a look. "What?" I questioned as she leaned her head on my shoulder. "You've been acting really distracted lately, I've also noticed it in the Rangers, so has everyone else. What's wrong?" I turned towards her. "Some things popped up from the past and its distracting." "What is it?" she said sitting on my lap. "We'll be happy to help." I shook my head.

"Not this time Vivian." She sighed and nodded. "I know you and the Rangers like to handle your problems on your own but asking for help isn't going to wound your pride." Oh, I know Vivian. Just this is what makes us so insanely powerful and could kill us if we don't figure out a cure in a few years. I thought sarcastically but nodded.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and fell back onto the bed. "Are you?" I questioned. She nodded. "Yes Percy, I'm pregnant." I smiled and pulled her closer to me, gentle rubbing her belly. She put her hands on mine. "How far along are you?" "One month." She turned around to face me. "Can you do something for me?" "Anything." She smiled and kissed me softly.

"Please don't and give me a heart attack. This happened with two out of our three birth children. Can you at least keep yourself safe for nine months?" I nodded. "I promise," I said. "Do you know what today is?" I thought for a minute. Judging by her tone, it was something special. "Is it our anniversary?" She smiled and nodded. "You wanna bring the kids?" She nodded.

"Why not." "Daniel!" I called. A few seconds later, he appeared out of a portal. "Yes?" "Change of plans. Bring your sisters and get Theseus." He frowned. "Why?" Vivian spoke. "You're coming with us for our anniversary." He looked surprised but suddenly smiled and nodded. "Sure thing dad." "One more thing." He nodded.

"Can you tell everyone downstairs to come back later? Vivian and I are heading out for our anniversary." He nodded. "Anything else?" I shook my head. "That's everything." He shadow traveled away. Vivian looked at me.

"Why don't you let Theseus take care of things like that?" "Because he is too immature. He needs to quit that." "You know why he's like that." I nodded. "I made a grave mistake letting Aether watch over him, along with Hermes, the Stolls, and Leo." She squeezed my hand reassuringly. "Give him time. It took you more than five thousand years to stop acting immature when you need to be serious." I mock glared at her.

"It ain't my fault if the other kings can't take a joke." "You need to hold a meeting with them. Even after years of immortality, you can't keep tossing it away. You'll know what will happen if Tareus and his family claim your place." I scowled. "Tareus is a good man. His wife and son are not. That women speaks nothing but lies. Their son is a arrogant little-" She hit me in the chest.

"Don't." I nodded. "They think I am just a immortal king, like them, ruler of the seven kingdoms. But little do they know, I am much more. The kings know of my true identity, but their families do not, thus why they have not pressured me." "Out of fear or respect?" I shrugged. "Both, but you're right. Maybe I should meet up with them, discuss what I discovered." She frowned.

"What did you discover?" I realized she's immortal and part of the Council, like me but she doesn't have dreams/meetings with the rest of the Council. "I'll explain later, today, we celebrate our anniversary." She smiled and got up.

"Where do you want to go?" "You pick, my love." A thoughtful look appeared on her face. "Hmm, how about Teslen?" I froze.

"Jackal, don't you dare!" I shook my head furiously. I can't dwell on it now. "No." She seemed surprised. "But you-" "How about earth?" I suggested. "Daniel's birthplace, plus I'll be able to see Chiron." "Okay," she said confused. "Best you go get ready." I gave her one last kiss before she headed into the bathroom.

Vivian POV

"Where's Theseus?" Daniel shrugged. "I told him to come on, Lacey is upstairs, and Katrina and Arina should be here right about now." On que, Katrina appeared in a flash of light while Arina walked out of a portal. "That's not fair," Katrina whined looking at Arina. "How come you get to use portals?" Arina smirked.

"Because I'm mom's favorite." "Alright," I said stopping a argument between them. "I love all of you equally. I have no favorites. Your father is the same way." "But he does more with Daniel," Arina said. "Because he's is the oldest boy in the family." "I'm the oldest!" Katrina protested. I sighed. Daniel smirked at her "Are you secretly a man?" Katrina turned red.

"He's the oldest boy in the family. He's to look after everyone if something were to happen to your father." "Like, if he dies?" Arina questioned. I nodded. "But, it's impossible to kill father," Daniel said. "He kicks my butt every time whenever we train, and I mean bad. That's why he lets me use powers, but it hardly helps." I continued.

"That's why he does that. Whenever he is gone, Daniel is in charge of everything." "Why can't Theseus do it?" Katrina snorted at Arina's question. "Do you really think Theseus could do all the stuff father does on a daily basis?" "He could," Arina protested. "If he'll get up and train with Daniel." "And if he stops getting in trouble." We all turned to the stairs and saw Lacey walking down the stairs, putting her hair up into a ponytail.

"That too," Arina said. "He does need to get up," Daniel said looking at me. "He wants to fight, yet he isn't anywhere near ready. It took me fifteen thousand years to finally convince him to let me fight. Don't forget it took mom and and everyone else to convince him." "He's protective of all of you," I said. "As am I. You must remember you are children of Percy Jackson. If people were to get their hands on you, who knows what would happen." They nodded.

"Where is father?" Lacey questioned, "I thought he would be here by now." "He told me he had to tell the Council he would be gone." I looked around. "If Theseus doesn't show up in the next ten seconds, I am not going to be a happy." Shadows spat a figure out onto the floor. "You're in trouble," Katrina said smirking as the figure stood up and dusted their self off.

"What are you talking about?" Katrina pointed at me. The figure stiffened. "Is it mom or dad?" "Mom." The figure slowly turned around and looked at me with his midnight blue eyes. "Theseus Jackson," I started. "Where have you been?" He smiled sheepishly. "Well, you see mother, it's actually a funny story-oww!" I grabbed his ear and twisted.

"I'm not going to repeat myself again." I twisted more, making him yelp in pain. "Where have you been?" Daniel spoke. "He's been pranking Mr. Parker again with Uncle Jason's son." I whirled on him. "You knew and you didn't tell me?" He quickly shook his head. "I know Theseus, he can't lie whatsoever." "Is this true?" Theseus didn't say anything.

I pulled on his ear more. "Yes," he said. "I was pranking Mr. Parker with Sean." I was debating if I should punish him myself or let Percy do it. "I should just let your father punish you." His eyes widened. "But," I sighed and released him. "I won't." "I'm sorry," he said rubbing his red ear. "How many times are you going to say that, but not actually mean it?" Katrina questioned.

"I do mean it," he protested. "No you don't." "Head upstairs," I said rubbing my head. "Go get ready." He frowned. "Ready for what?" Lacey spoke. "Mom and dad's anniversary," he looked surprised. "We're going with them." He nodded and ran up the stairs. Once I heard his door closed, Daniel spoke again.

"Maybe he should start training with me," he looked at me. "He looked worn out when he fell out of the shadows." "At least he's keeping his body healthy in physical condition," Katrina said chuckling. "He's young," Arina said. "Give him time. He's the youngest in the family." Not for long. "Still," Daniel said. "We all have to help. Everyone has to do their part. If not, there'll be problems. There may be a time father needs Theseus. Maybe that's why he relies so much on me." I smiled. So much like his father. I thought.

"What do you think mom?" I shrugged. "It's a good theory, but maybe you should ask your father why he relies on you so much." A portal appeared beside me. "And there he is." I said as Percy walked out, wearing jeans and a sea green t-shirt. "Daddy!" Katrina hugged him. Katrina always is the first to greet her father.

Next to hug him was Lacey, then Arina, and finally Daniel. "Theseus is upstairs getting ready." I said hugging him. "Finally, I thought I would have to go find him." Arina opened her mouth but I shook my head slightly. No need to tell Percy what Theseus was up to.

Linebreak

"This is Olympus," Percy said. "Nowhere near our home, but the Olympians didn't know about Chaos or the primordials back then." We walked through Olympus, although no one comes here save for a few Olympians and minor gods, it's still a pretty sight. "Daniel, weren't you born here?" Arina questioned. "Yep," Daniel nodded. "Daniel was born in a dark time," Percy said.

"We had to keep him safe. He stayed with Hestia." "Is that why I feel a connection with Hestia?" We nodded. "She looked after you when we could not look after him, only visit." "Due to Order?" Theseus questioned. We nodded again. "We've heard rumors," Theseus said. "What exactly happened to Order? Some say he faded, others say father became him." "I became him Theseus," "And it doesn't mean your father will go evil." Theseus closed his mouth.

Percy chuckled. "Order abused his domain, using it to create evil and corruption. Doing so, he messed up the balance of the universe. Once I defeated him, I restored balance." "Is that why you always have a white aura around you whenever we're in the City." He nodded. "Everything is in order, as it should be, but not by fear," "But through respect." Daniel finished.

"Yes, although there are some planets that have order through fear, which upsets the balance and gives me a headache." "What he means kids," I said. "Is when he became Order, a small sliver of the original Order will speak in his head whenever he's around planets that rule through fear." They looked worried. "You aren't worried he'll try to corrupt father?" "So little faith you have in me Katrina," Percy said.

"Your father's heart is pure. Despite all he's been through, his heart remains pure. The original Order will never resurface ever again." They looked relieved. "Dad, where's Shadow?" Percy frowned. "I don't know Arina, he wasn't in bed when I woke up." "Good," I said. "The last time I woke up with him in bed, there was fur all over me." "Not my fault Vivian, he's my pet." "Along with a twenty foot dragon, a hellhound, and a Pegasus." He nodded.

"The last time I saw him, he was playing tag with Crypt in the arena." We stared at him shocked. "Dad," Daniel said. "What happens if they get out?" He shrugged. "Don't know, but we'll deal with it later." I rolled my eyes. "Whose hungry?" "Me!" "Of course you are Theseus," Katrina said. "When are you not hungry?" "Where do you want to eat?" Percy questioned.

"Can we have pizza?" "Good choice Theseus, I could go for some pizza." Before anyone could react, we were shadow traveled away.

Percy POV

When we got back, Theseus went with his friends, Daniel headed to the arena, and the girls disappeared. "You call the Rangers and I'll call the successors?" I nodded. "If you would Vivian, thank you." She kissed me on the cheek and shadow traveled away. I stomped the ground, sending a wave of power rolling through the ground.

After a few minutes, Jason was the first to arrive, as always. "You call Percy?" Jason said. I nodded. "We're back from our anniversary." "How'd it go?" "Great, till someone tried to flirt with Vivian." He raised an eyebrow. "Is the poor guy able to walk?" "Sadly, yes." He shook his head. One by one, all the Rangers appeared, save for Anthony.

"Anyone seen Anthony?" "Last time I saw him was when he and Camille disappeared into their room." Raven said. A few minutes later, a wave of water flowed into the room and started to swirl beside us. "There he is," I said as it formed into a body. "You're late." I said as the remaining water dispersed. "Well sorry," he said sarcastically, standing up. "You always call everyone at the worst time." "More like you do things at the worst time." Kyle said smirking.

"What'd you figure out with the Council?" "I'll explain everything when Vivian gets back with the successors, Preston." He nodded. "What about Luke and the others?" "Might as well Kane," I sent another wave of power through the ground, this time a little larger and stronger than the last.

A few seconds later, multiple flashes entered the room. "You call?" Luke questioned. "Yes I did Blondie." He scowled. "Don't call me that." "Why? It's your nickname." "No it's not." I shrugged. "Where are the successors?" "Probably trying to stop your rampaging pets." Annabeth said, slightly glaring at me. "Why are you glaring at me for? I haven't even done anything stupid yet!" "Because your pets nearly crushed us when we were training." I winced.

"Maybe I should do something huh?" Everyone nodded. "You just now realizing that?" Zoe questioned. I closed my eyes. "Crypt, where are you?" "Hello master, how was your anniversary?" "Good, now where are you?" "Flying around the throne room, trying to catch your wolf." "What?! Get out of there before my mom finds out, then she'll really kill me!" "I will." "Thank you." I cut the connection with Crypt and focused on Shadow.

Weird, I sensed him coming towards us. A scream made me open my eyes. I looked and saw Shadow on top of Annabeth, licking her face. "Percy!" I couldn't help myself, I burst out laughing. "Percy, this really isn't funny!" I decided she suffered enough. "Shadow, heel!" He hopped off her and bounded towards me. "That wolf has been a pain ever since it was created," Annabeth said glaring at Shadow.

"That's not my fault, y'all suggested it." "And now we're starting to regret it," Luke said. "I can't wait any longer, I'll tell you what I discovered along with the Council." I walked into the kitchen. "Shouldn't we wait for the successors?" "Vivian will fill them in." "Does she know?" "No," Annabeth rolled her eyes.

Our kitchen is pretty big. I brought May, my housemaid from when I lived in the House of Chaos over to my house. Luke and the other immortal campers can stay in either Chaos' house or mine. Usually, they'll stay in the House of Chaos since the Rangers stay with me. Plus we eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together.

So you can see why our kitchen is pretty big.

"Breakfast?" They shrugged. "Why not?" I summoned breakfast. Eggs, waffles, bacon, sausage, and other breakfast meals appeared on the table. "Leo, please don't eat all the bacon up again," I said. "You can summon more." "Yes, but I don't like doing it nonstop. It gets quite irritating. Plus Rayner and Lucillius will throw a fit." He nodded as everyone else sat down and started to eat.

"Not hungry Percy?" I shook my head. "I ate my breakfast on earth Piper. But I will take some blue pancakes." Everyone rolled their eyes as I summoned me some blue pancakes. "I'll always have room for blue food. Not nearly as good as being made, but close enough." After about ten minutes of small talk with everyone, the successors arrived.

"I know you're mad about Crypt and Shadow," I said when I saw their glares. "I'm sorry, it won't happen again, trust me. I don't need the Council angry at me." I gestured to the table. "Feel free to breakfast." Lucilius and Rayner's glares disappeared. "Gladly." I smiled as they got situated while Vivian sat beside me. "Hungry?" "Yes," I handed her a plate of breakfast.

She raised an eyebrow. "What's gotten into you?" "Nothing," I said. "Only the best for my queen." She smiled and kissed my cheek. "So, before Percy and Vivian start lip locking," Anthony said. "What'd you find out with the Council?"

I explained to them what I discovered with the Council. "Well, that is certainly not what I expected to hear." Rayner said as Rosa spoke. "Wormholes?" I nodded. "It does make sense." Everyone looked at Anthony. "The Rangers and Hunters were about half a day behind them. A day at the most. How do seven billion soldiers, more than half wounded disappear in the blink of an eye?" Annabeth spoke.

"But Percy, I thought wormholes were unpredictable and unstable?" "That's where another crazy theory comes into play." I gestured for Jordan to speak. "Yes, but after some research we learn there are three new substances that can help a portal be stabilized or do different things to a portal." "And what are these new substances?" Hannah questioned. "Dark matter, anti-matter, and exotic matter," everyone frowned. "Which if used can allow a person to enter a wormhole and come out safely." He looked at me.

I nodded. "We're family. There's no need to keep secrets." He nodded. "I spoke to Percy about these three new substances that appeared out of nowhere." "And what did you figure out?" Rosa questioned. "These are obviously domains, since they stretch all over the universe." "And all domains belong to an immortal." I said. Everyone nodded. "But the domains don't belong to any of the Olympians or minor gods." "You check with the primordials?" Me and Jordan nodded.

"We checked with every immortal Jason, we even checked with Void and Chaos." "And nothing?" He questioned. "Nothing Jason." "Do they belong to Percy?" Connor said. "You were there when I became a primordial Connor, these domains don't belong to me." I shook my head. "The domains are powerful, so they belong to a primordial." "But none of the primordials have any of these domains," Jordan said.

"Wait," Annabeth shook her head, as if trying to comprehend what she just heard. "Are you saying there are more primordials out there?" Everyone's eyes widened. Me and Jordan nodded. "But Chaos said she only created the primordials we know now and we know for sure it wasn't Void." "Then who created them?" We shrugged.

"That's the question we're trying to figure out Annabeth." I opened a mini map of the universe. "I stretched my senses, trying to find these primordials. I checked my domains nonstop, trying to sense a power surge but nothing. But," I zoomed in on planet Rogan. "I have felt power pulsing here. I felt it about two thousand years ago. At first, it was small so I figured it was one of us messing around since the planet is uninhabited. But these last few hundred years, I've felt it more often." "What did it feel like?" Vivian questioned.

"Old," I said. "Older than the primordials." Everyone looked at me surprised. "I decided to investigate." "And what'd you find?" I shuddered. "Some weird things," I said. "When I got there, I sensed the power all around me, but it seemed restrained, like it was being hidden, and it was trying to escape." "Weird indeed." "That's only the beginning Kane." I looked at all of them.

"I kept this to myself because I didn't want anyone to worry about me." I took a deep breath. "I explored the planet and didn't find out where the power was coming from. I realized it wasn't on the surface, but beneath me, far beneath me." Everyone stared at me surprised. "Did you find anything?" "Oh, I found something Rosa. I found a maze, a big one, definitely bigger than the labyrinth." Everyone's eyes widened.

"I explored and saw engravings on the walls. But the walls," I shook my head. "They were glowing all kind of colors, some I've seen and others I've never seen. Icy blue, and some other crazy colors. I noticed they formed a pattern. As I followed the patterns, I heard voices in my head." "Voices?" I nodded. "Yes Leo, voices, male and female. They were saying, 'father'," everyone frowned. "They said 'I've returned after millennium', as I followed the patterns, the voices got louder and more...excited." "Are you okay?" Vivian questioned, grabbing my hand.

I nodded. "I found a sort of champer," I said. "I saw sixteen body like coffins, forming a U formation. Everything, the engravings, the glow, the colors, the voices, it was all coming from the coffins." Everyone stared at me shocked.

"Then, it all died out, like the energy got snuffed out. I thought it was over till I felt one of my domains go crazy." "Which one?" I looked at Vivian. "Order's." Everyone's eyes widened. "I tried to get it under control, but I couldn't. I felt my energy being drained, I realized, with a sudden horror, those coffins were using my domain, Order, to revive themselves. But," I shook my head. "Two of the coffins weren't glowing like the rest, so I didn't know if they were destroyed or whatever is in them died." "What happened?" Annabeth questioned.

"I tried to force them out of my domain, but it didn't work." "It should've." Jordan said. "The only way someone can stay in your domain is if their-" "Connected to me." I finished.

"But before I flashed out, I brought the maze down. But something weird happened to me. Turn the lights out." "Uh, what?" " Do it Luke, I can light the whole room up." They turned the lights out. "Can you see?" I got a chorus of yes's and no's. "Minus all those associated with darkness." I got a chorus of no's. "Alright, watch." I closed my eyes and focused on Order's domain and felt that same freaky feeling.

Everyone gasped. "Percy," I heard Vivian say. "Open your eyes." I opened my eyes and saw, even though the lights were out, everyone's shocked expression. "This happens," I said looking at my glowing body. "Whenever I focus on Order's domain, I start to glow crazy colors, the very same colors I saw on the wall." The glow disappeared and I willed the lights back on.

"I've never seen or heard of anything like this. And in all honesty, it scared me. I haven't been back and I'm not very keen on going back." "I don't blame you," Rayner said. "At least you're okay." I raised an eyebrow. "Sort of." "Did you tell the Council?" I shook my head. "Not yet Anthony." "Well, I'm glad you're safe," Annabeth said while everyone nodded.

"But whatever I found isn't gone," I said. "I felt a connection to those coffins, and they aren't destroyed." "Alright," Anthony said. "Let's leave this creepy topic alone for now and focus on what we had this meeting for in the first place." Everyone nodded as I spoke.

"So," Vivian squeezed my hand. "Back to how Order's men escaped." "Right," I said. "Athena believes Order escaped the Void not long after his defeat against Chaos. She thinks he somehow had access to wormholes and used one to escape. In fear of getting caught by Chaos, he left this universe and entered a whole different place and started to creat his own planets, stars, galaxies. His own universe." Everyone froze and looked at me.

"And you think Order's men are...in his universe?" Hunter questioned. "Where else could they be, Hunter? We've searched every piece of this universe and found nothing." "But Perce," Jason said. "They can't be. If everything you said is true, how did he have enough power to even create a star? Once someone is imprisoned in the Void, it seals around them, draining their power and crushing them but still keeps them alive." Everyone nodded, but I shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't know Jason, but this is the closest thing we have on them after fifteen thousand years of searching. It's all that we got. We'll just have to stick." He nodded, showing he understood. "Seaweed Brain," Annabeth said. "Yes, Wise Girl?" Even though we aren't together anymore, we still call each other the same nicknames.

"You said Order is Chaos's older brother, right?" I nodded. "Do you think he let Chaos win just so he could escape? He let her think she won and used the wormhole within the Void to escape? Saved his energy and built his own universe?" We exchanged glances.

"You may be right Annabeth." I said opening a mini map of the universe. "But he would have to use it in an instant, before the Void starts draining his energy." She nodded. "But why wait for Chaos to create a army?" Vivian questioned. "Why not attack when her children are asleep and she is focused on peace? Why attack when we are at our strongest?" I zoomed in on No Man's Land.

"And why attack when Percy was made king and stronger than Chaos? Why doesn't he attack when there were no successors, no Rangers?" Rayner said. "Maybe he was creating something," Katie said. "Maybe he didn't attack because he was waiting, waiting for something bigger than him and us?" "Percy," I looked at my brother, Tyler.

"Yes Tyler?" He fidgeted with his fingers nervously. "What if it was all a test?" Everyone looked at him confused. "Test?" Raven questioned. He nodded. "The war fifteen thousand years ago. What if it was a test? All those wars with the Rangers? If he really did create another universe to get away from Chaos, he obviously has no idea what's been happening in this universe. So, he starts war, to see who inteferes." "What are you saying, Tyler?" Luke questioned.

"Order wants to know what Chaos has been doing ever since his so called 'defeat'. So, he uses a man like Theron to start wars. Order figures out three things. Chaos created a army, the primordials have successors to lead the Primordial Army, and Rangers. A mysterious, yet deadly fighting force. Who's the biggest threat?" "Rangers," Luke said confused.

Tyler nodded. "Usually, a normal person would take out the biggest threat, but not Order." Tyler shook his head, "Because to Order, it's a test. He was observing the Rangers. Their skills, stamina, everything. He wants to see what makes Rangers tick." We looked around, Tyler might be right. "Then he moves to the successors, he wants to see what makes successors tick. Order is a person who thinks everything is a test." He looked at all of us.

"Do you see what I mean?" Slowly, we all nodded. "Continue Tyler," I said. "Order is like a mad scientist. And what do mad scientists like to do?" "Run tests," Travis said. "Exactly. Order was in his own universe since the beginning. Can you imagine how many tests he ran?" We shook our heads. "Thousands, if not millions of tests. I looked over files on Order's men." We stared at him shocked.

"There were over eight billion files," Tyler rubbed his head. "Cassandra left the house and stayed with her mom because I had files the size of mountains everywhere," he laughed before speaking again. "Each fighter had a little sign by their names. Each were tested on. They all had different abilities. Some matched the successors, some even matched immortals. Order tested on over fifteen billion soldiers. But, there's was something that shocked me." "What Tyler?" I questioned.

He looked down. "Tyler," I reached over and put my hand on his shoulder. "What was it?" He clenched his fists. "Do you remember those monsters you fought in Greece?" I nodded, confused. He looked up and I saw tears. "Hey, what's wrong?" I stood up and wrapped my arms around him. "They weren't monsters." We looked at him shocked and confused.

"Tyler," I said. "What are you talking about?" He wiped the tears away. "Sit down and I'll tell you." I don't know what got into Tyler. I knew he studied the war with Order, but I never knew he studied it this much. I sat down and looked at him worriedly. No one said anything as Tyler composed himself and spoke. "I went back to earth and saw the body was still there, fresh, but still headless. I brought it back and ran tests, Percy, the results were human." Our eyes widened.

"I didn't believe it when I saw it. I searched through the files and found what I was searching for. A mortal, Edward Black, thirty-five. Fought in World War II, but vanished the day he returned home. People thought it was aliens, but it was Order. He was a good man. Had a clean record, had a wife and a newborn baby on the way. Order ran tests on him and turned him into a monster that feasts on human flesh. Every single monster was human, all with the same background." He looked at his hands.

"I also ran over the strategies they ran. But," he shook his head "They had no strategy. They were just trying to overrun you. Plus, these soldiers, they weren't even immortal. They were all injected with the same serum. It slowed the bodies aging process. In six hundred years, they would age six years." We looked at each other.

"Tyler," Annabeth said softly. "What made you study like this? Is this why you never eat with us?" He nodded. "I had a vision from the Fates. It showed everyone fighting, but you were losing. It was Order's men, but they weren't human. They were mutants, monsters. The Fates said this is what you will face. They won't leave that universe Percy, they want you to come to them." He shook his head furiously.

"They're horrible Percy," his voice cracked. "They whipped each other, starved each other. I watched as their skin rotted, their teeth became fangs, their nails become claws. During all this, they laughed. The laugh of a mad man. Their insane. You can't fight them. They're almost invincible. Your weapons won't pierce their skin." He looked at us, his sea green eyes were dull, they almost looked haunted.

"Promise me," he said. "You won't go over there blind. Figure out what you're fighting. Make weapons that will pierce their skin. I know I can't stop you, but I will help you. I've resolved to peace and being a doctor." He stood up and headed to the door. I went to stop him, but Anthony beat me to it. "Where are you going?" "I have to do my research." "You've done more than enough," Luke said.

He shook his head. "No, I have to research a serum that strengthens the body and focuses on aggression," he said as Anthony guided him to me. "We'll handle that," Rosa said. "You need to rest." "Anthony, can you take Tyler upstairs?" Anthony nodded. "You can sleep in my bed. I'll send someone to get Cassandra." As Anthony guided Tyler up the stairs, he stopped and turned toward me.

"Percy, that universe," he shook his head. "It's different. There's something about that universe. You have to be careful over there." He looked at everyone else. "All of you." We nodded as he and Anthony walked upstairs. "I'm going to kill them." "Percy," Jason said. "Don't do something stupid." "Stupid?" I looked at him.

"Stupid? My brother has wasted fifteen thousand years of his life studying something that we looked over hundreds of times. And to top it off, he gets visions from the Fates, he sees people turn themselves into monsters on their own will. People that go insane. We're lucky he's sane. He's never seen anything like that, and you're telling me not to do something stupid?" "I agree with Percy," Luke said.

"Tyler's never seen the horrors this universe has. Yet, he sees something even more crueler than this universe?" Luke shook his head. "It ain't right. How come the old hags didn't let one of us see it? Do they enjoy scarring kids for life? Why choose Tyler?" "Luke's right," Annabeth said. "Why Tyler? Does he know how Order's men got away?" I spoke.

"There's only one way to find out." Everyone looked at me. "We need to go and get those files from Tyler's house." Everyone's eyes widened.

"All eight billion of them."
