hades sat in his throne in the underworld contemplating many things in his head. "Is it time?" Hades asked aloud. Hades was a busy man and his workload was always full of stress, people don't really know how hard it is to be in charge of everything going on in the underworld.
he was like a one telephone call to everybody who has ever died, just Complaining! hades had very few ways to relieve this stress. one was his son Perseus, Hades loved his son, always looking out for him. but he worried that Percy is the prophecy child.
what would hades do without his son? hades put his head in his hands and sighed loudly before shouting. "Perseus!" he sensed a shadow clump on the left side of the very dark throne room. inlaid with gold and other beautiful things only the god of riches could afford.
"Yes Father," He said darkly. Hades turned to his son before once signing. "Perseus, I have a mission for you" a boy stepped out of the shadows. he wore a leather long jacket with the hood pulled down he had kinda long hair pulled to the side. a crown of thorns rested upon his head. it was black intertwined with gold symboling his roles as the prince of the underworld, king of hellhounds, and the ghost king. his name was too feared to say in the underworld.
He was only referred to as Dark Lord, even by the sea creatures that so often plagued his mind. he wore black combat boots and a muscle tee, he hid his eyes behind black aviators because almost anything that looked into his grief stricken eyes cowered in fear before him.
he looked like a monster, so they treated him like it, then he became one. he usually had his hood up. but he kept it down in front of his father as a sign of respect. Perseus was a monster in battle, slicing through monster after monster.
he trained almost all the time anymore. Perseus forsake his Greek ancestry, preferring only to be strong and fearless. he fought with a weapon called Noctis, night in Latin. for he is the night, striking down escaped souls and sending them to Tartarus. never seen unless he wants to be.
"I want you to go to west hall school and free your siblings" Hades continues. Perseus only nodded before stepping back into the shadows and disappearing. he reappeared in time to see his siblings being cornered by a large animal Perseus late identified as the manticore.
Percy silently growled as he sensed a large group of females in the distance, hiding in the shadows waiting for of pounce at the right given moment. he snuck behind the manticore. only for the manticore to turn around and smack him back into the school wall.
Percy growled in anger, "little half blood, you thought you could sneak up on me?" the Manticore exclaimed arrogantly. Percy saw his siblings hurdling in the shadows, looking on in fright. Percy charged the manticore and slid in between his legs, the manticore whipped around and tried to grab the boy. but he was gone, he looked in time to see a dark blade going through his chest.
Percy kicked the manticore off his blade, but the manticore turned and grabbed his sister Bianca with his tail as he fell. "NO!" Percy yelled in anger. he turned around to his other sibling. "Nico, I am going to get your sister back. but first, I must make sure you are safe" the boy looked up at Percy and nodded sheepishly.
"Hold it right there Boy," she said with venom. Percy turned around and pulled his hood down, the hunter gasped in shock when she saw the many scars that adorned his face. he pulled his glasses off and threw them to the floor he took a step forward and heard the crunch of them breaking his eyes held so much fury the huntress was forced to look away.
he took another step forward, his boots crunching in the snow. he was face to face with her now. ever through the close proximity, she still refused to look at him in fear. he noticed her fear, she hid it well but to the trained eye, it was plainly obvious.
he was thrown to the grown by an invisible force. he got up angrily scanning the crowd of females until his eyes rested on a small girl, maybe twelve years old. her straight posture and glowing silver moon like eyes gave her away.
All the hunters aimed their bows at him. almost all of them sneered at him in disgust, but none looked him directly in the eyes. the little girl, that Percy identified as Artemis stepped forward and brought the tiara wearing girl into her tight embrace.
The young girl started sobbing uncontrollably. she held up a fist and the hunters dropped lowered their bows. She turned to a huntress on her left and began to speak. "Phoebe, bring her to the resting quarters and allow her to rest". the girl, Percy assumed was Phoebe led the girl to a large group of tents that just appeared out of nowhere it should have surprised Perseus, but it didn't. He was far used to the realm of the gods by now.
Especially supposed to be one himself. the silver eyed moon goddess then turned to him with the worst look imaginable. She raised her fist again, then opened it still raised. And gestured at him with two fingers. the hunters raised their bows and got ready to fire. Artemis nodded and dozens of arrows came flying towards boomed up ahead and Artemis realized her mistake. but it was too late.
Perseus shadow traveled away from the arrows, but one caught him in the shoulder as he shadow traveled. thunder boomed up ahead dangerously. if possible twelve-year old's face became even harsher than before.
she walked up to him and pulled the arrow out of his shoulder viciously. surprisingly he showed no emotion. she stepped suddenly in surprise. the boy was excluding a godly aura. but darker much darker. she turned to her hunters, but cautious to keep him in her line of sight. "hunters, regroup. We have to bring the boy to Olympus" she looked up at the sky expectantly, nothing happened. she seemed surprised by this.
as if thunder was supposed to boom every time she spoke or did something. she turned to the boy again, but to her surprise, he stomped the ground and a crack appeared. three ghosts crawled out of the crack. she gasped as she recognized them. it was Theseus, Achilles, and the original Perseus.
"Find her!" he demanded. they nodded, and Perseus turned and howled into the air. before she could contemplate whether or not he was crazy, three huge hellhounds appeared out of the bushes. once again the hunters raised their bows. before she could tell them to stand down, Percy frowned and waved his hand the girl's weapons disappeared and reappeared in front of him.
he turned to hellhounds, "get their scent!" he shouted loudly. the ghosts climbed on top of the hellhounds and bounded off towards the woods. his crown of thorns was glowing an ominous black and red. she stormed up to him angrily tried to rip the crown off his head. but her hand went right through. Like a ghost.
she grabbed his arm, and without warning disappeared with him.
On Olympus,
gods were sitting in their thrones normally until a man was forcefully slammed into the room by angry moon goddess... Surprisingly Hestia was the one who spoke up. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY NEPHEW!" shouted the hearth goddess
everyone looked at the normally peaceful hearth goddess incredulously. Artemis, however, ignored her and turned towards her father, Zeus. "father, this man summoned both ghosts and hellhounds to his aid. which makes me believe that he is a half blood son of Hades.
the boy stood up and bowed to hestis.
"Aunt" the boy stated calmly
