Percy: Welcome to your doom

I cursed under my breath as I jumped over a spear. Let me recap what had happened. I had just fallen into Tartarus and the next thing I know; I had a spear pointed at me. Of course, I battled it till I realised something very important. I didn't have my sword with me. Yup, I had left my sword up and unfortunately, it wasn't like Anaklusmos to return to me.

So, I had to battle with my hands which was relatively hard considering the person I was fighting was quite impressive with the spear.

I ducked and swiped at my opponent's feet making her stumble and let out a feminine yelp. She regained her balance as I tried to punch her. Keyword: Tried. She rolled to the side and jabbed with her spear. I had already interpreted it as I dodged it and held her spear in my hand. Elbowing her in the face, I snatched the spear and held it as against her.

Surprisingly, the spear dissolved in shadows and materialised in her hands as she charged at me. I was so surprised that I didn't notice her moving till it was too late and she slashed right into my stomach. I flew back a few feet as ichor spluttered through my wound.

I shook my head of the shakiness and said, "That's it." Standing up, I pointed my palm at her as she sprinted to me. Glaring at her, I focused on the water and shot a stream of water at her. It hit her right in the face, taking off her hood as she flew back and fell to the ground unconscious.

I ran to her and kneeled down to take a look at her. Drying her, he took a look at how she looked. Her skin was pale white with dark freckles on her cheeks. Her hair was dark, darker than mine which even I thought was impossible, with slight highlights of white, like the night sky.

The Night. That reminded me of something my mother used to tell me. Before I could help it, I was lost into the memory.

*Flashback*

I jumped on my bed as my mother smiled at me, kindly. She said, "Percy, don't destroy the bed."

I gave her a toothy grin and replied, "Mom you said you would tell me a story."

She continued smiling as she picked me up and put me on her lap. "Fine but don't complain about it at night."

I nodded eagerly making her laugh as she began, "Eons ago, there was a huge explosion-"

"What's an explosion?"

"Its when things go kaboom. Back to the story. There was an explosion and out of it came out a man. This man was Chaos. He was the first being in the whole universe and most powerful. He was so powerful that with just a thought, he made himself a palace."

"Ooooh oooh a palace. Like dad's."

Mom giggled and said, "Yes honey, like dad's. Now Chaos spent his time in the palace but eventually got bored-"

"So, he called his friends to play, right mommy?"

Mom shook her head and said, "No Percy, there was no one and he grew bored of his palace. So, he thought of some one to keep him company and three figures came to existence. Their names were Ouranos, Gaea and Tartarus. But when they came, they set off to explore the world without talking to their father. Chaos was disappointed so he made more. With that came Pontus, Erebus and Akhlys. Soon even they left making Chaos sad and lonely. So, he talked with his son, Tartarus, another person who had been discarded, and the two had a kid. The baby was another Primordial and she was known as the Night."

I laughed, "Night? That's a funny name mom. Like Tartarus and Pontus, I understand but Night? Come on mom. They could have thought another name for her."

Mom stiffened slightly and looked around the room as she replied, "Honey, her name wasn't Night. She was just known as the Night because she was as dark as Tartarus, as lonely as Chaos and the only person able to have children by a mere thought."

"So, mom, what was her real name?"

"Nyx."

*Flashback ends*

I came back to the present as the figure beneath me shook slightly. Immediately, I helped her in a sitting position, my hand on her back helping her up. She opened her eyes and I noticed the dark onyx eyes with white irises as we stared at each other's eyes.

Shaking my head, I stood up and supported her up. She instantly jerked herself away from me and the spear materialised in her hand. I raised my hands up showing that I was unarmed.

She growled as she stared at my hands warily, "Who are you? I sense the sea from you, but you cannot be Pontus. He has gone. So, who are you?"

I answered back, "I am Perseus. You sense sea from me because I am a son of Poseidon."

She lowered her spear somewhat but in such a manner that if I decided to attack, she could easily impale me.

"Poseidon? Oh, you mean the gods who overthrew my nephews?"

I chuckled nervously, "Twice." She rose her eyebrows but didn't comment about it. She walked around me as if inspecting a specimen.

"Do you know who I am?" she asked as she came face-to-face with me.

I rubbed the back of my head uncertainly, "Nyx?" She growled and I corrected myself, "The Night?" She nodded with a relieved grin before becoming tense.

"They are coming. Hurry. If you want to live, you must hide right now. Follow me." Nyx jumped into a shadow as I stared at it. What if this is a trap? You can't trust anyone here. But something tells me she was telling the truth.

I heard footsteps from a distance and with a limited option, jumped into the shadow. The moment I came out, I regretted it because when I looked up, I noticed the biggest hellhound, bigger than Cerberus.

A/N: This sequel won't be as long as the Percy Jackson and Childhood Familiarity but long enough. Review on whether you want the ending of this story as sad or happy because at this stage, the story can go either way.
