Ch.2
-7 years later-
"Come on, you should have been able to block that attack" Percy teased while Nico pouted.
He shadowed travelled behind Nico and pointed his sword at his neck,
"Do you yield?"
"Boy, you've gotten better in these last seven years, I can't even keep up to you now." Nico mumbled.
"I yield". He said
"Train hard Nico, perhaps the next time we duel I'll get more of a challenge" Percy teased again.
-Flashback-
(4 years ago)
"Percy! Lord Hades wants to see you. NOW!" Alecto shouted.
"Coming old hag" Percy teased.
Alecto glared at him, he paled considerably, mumbled an apology and followed silently to the throne room.
-In the throne room-
"Sit down Percy, I would like to bless you with my powers, Nico can help you master them. Would you like that?" Hades questioned. Percy's eyes widened.
"That would be awesome!" He excitedly replied.
"Then come forward". Boomed Hades as he touched Percy's head and shadows swirled around him. He felt a new energy enter his body.
"Thank you!" He shouted as he walked towards the doors.
"Wait Percy, I still need to talk to you, it's about a curse." Hades said worriedly
"Huh? What curse?" Percy slowly asked.
"Well you see… A few years ago when you just came to the underworld, you don't remember what happened right?" The god said carefully as Percy narrowed his eyes.
"I didn't think that you'll need to worry about the curse at the time; however, you should know now. The person who cursed you is called Nyx, the primordial goddess of the night, she wants revenge on the Olympians for what happened centuries ago, but I'll tell you about that another time… anyways, when you turn twenty, your eyes will turn completely golden and you will lose control over yourself, the curse will take over your body and will use your strength and skills to defeat the Olympians. I'm not sure if you noticed or not but the rim of your iris is already turning golden, it will increase faster if you do something evil. I'm not too concerned about the Olympians; however, after you turn evil you might kill all the innocent too…you never know. I have been trying to figure out a cure for this curse but it is very powerful so no potions or magic would work. What I'm trying to say is that the only conclusion I found is to defeat Nyx, she is very powerful so you must be prepared. I suggest you to stay in the underworld and train until you are ready. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner, I wasn't completely sure of what the cure is." Hades explained, staring at Percy warily. The young demigod had a mixture of shock, anger and confusion. He ran out the door and nearly crashed into another wall. Hades stared at the boy but decided not to speak as he watched him exit the room.
-End of flashback-
"Bye lord Hades! We will iris message you once we get to Camp Halfblood!" Percy shouted as him, Nico and Bianca boarded the boat of Charon. In the past few years Percy has gotten a lot stronger, he can beat all the heroes and monsters in the underworld and Hades finally thought that it was time to send him on his quest .A few years ago, during their conversation, Hades decided to send him on his quest to find Nyx and defeat her, which was the only way to get rid of the curse. On his way, the god ordered him to bring Nico and Bianca to Camp Halfblood to get some proper training.
"Be careful on your way there" warned Hades as the three demigods departed.
This chapter is not so interesting but in the next chapter is when Percy will meet Artemis and the hunters. Please review and suggestions will be helpful, thanks guys!
