Aether had just finished his story, leaving out the part about the merging of minds.
"So it was intense training that caused the power spike?" Athena asked.
"Yes. I am now needed at a council meeting." Aether said before disappearing.
He left and everyone followed suit.
"Okay now that their gone, Percy. I want you to be honest with me." Zoe said sternly. I gulped and nodded. " I want to know what happened five weeks ago." Zoe said.
"I assassinated Gaea, but the battle with her drained my energy to almost nothing." I said. She just stared at my eyes to try to find dishonesty in them. She sighed and hugged me tighter when she saw nothing.
"I love you, Percy." Zoe said.
"I love you too, Zoe." I said, playing with her hair. We just sat there enjoying each others company.
"I need to go..." I said, mentally asking the primordials to meet me on the creek that marks the border in capture the flag.
"Why?" Zoe asked, pulling away from me and staring into my eyes.
"Chaos wants to talk to me personally about a new design he needs help on." I said.
Smooth. Helios said in my head.
Can you think of something better?! I replied, after that he remained silent.
After a while Zoe nodded and let me stand up. I walked outside and headed straight for the woods. I headed straight for the creek and waited as the Primordials showed up.
When everyone was there I started asking questions.
Zoe's POV
I followed Percy quietly through the woods. I knew he was hiding something. He stopped at the creek where I knocked him down before I died and what I saw stopped me dead in my tracks, every single primordial god and goddess was there.
"What new powers do I have?" I heard Percy ask.
"You have full access to our domains, Perseus." Tartarus said.
Why is Tartarus giving Percy full access to his domain. Unless... No Percy can't be working with the enemy. Can he? I thought.
"Who can train me in my powers first?" Percy asked looking around at everyone.
"I will, my powers are the easiest to control." Gaea said walking forward. She stood in front of Percy and held out her hand. She closed her eyes in concentration and something flickered into view on her hand. I gasped as a mixed landscape appeared. It had forests, mountains, various lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and a tundra. She opened her eyes and the landscape disappeared from view.
"Perseus, hold out your hand." Gaea said which he followed. "Now close your eyes and concentrate on making your dream landscape." I watched as a beautiful plain dotted with wheat and various animals appeared. There was a lake and waterfall feeding into it. A massive river flowed from the lake lazily away from the lake and feeding into the ocean. I noticed the small house nestled on the shore of the lazy river and ocean. "Very good Perseus. The rest you must find out yourself." Gaea said before stepping back. Every god and goddess showed Percy the most basic of their abilities until only Chaos was left.
"Ah… Perseus you will learn how to create things from massive galaxies to a tiny canteen of water." Chaos said.
"How do you achieve this?" Percy asked.
"Concentrate anything into your hand," Chaos said. "I don't suggest trying anything bigger than a planet. You are still pretty new at this so the stress may kill you."
I saw Percy nod and watched him concentrate something into his hand. I saw a diamond locket appear in his hand. I smiled when he opened it and a beautiful melody rang through the once silent forest. My smile widened when I saw my picture in it.
"Zoe come out here, I knew you were following me. I have a present for you." Percy said looking in my direction. I was surprised he knew I was following him. I stepped out of the shadows and headed straight for him.
Percy's POV
I smiled at Zoe as she came to me. I held out the locket and she gasped at the inscription on it. We shall be together forever, I love you Zoe Nightshade. Was inscribed onto the front. I watched her put it on then hug me tightly afterwards. I noticed the primordials had disappeared too.
"So why were the primordials giving you full access to their domains?" Zoe asked. Shit, she heard everything.
"W-" was all I managed to say before Chaos took over.
"He has agreed to be the host of the primordials."
"And you forgot to mention this because…?" Zoe said.
"Because I didn't want the gods watching me every five minutes." I said.
"Mm. Now don't keep secrets from me again." Zoe said before crashing her lips onto mine.
"I won't." I said after pulling away for air.
"We're needed at camp for training probably." Zoe said taking my hand.
"Let's not keep them waiting then." I said squeezing her hand and walking towards the arena out of the woods.
When we arrived at the arena I heard someone call my name. I turned and saw Charles looking at me.
"What do you want?" I said with venom in my voice.
"How about a challenge?" Charles said.
"You have a big ego. You sure you can back that up?" I replied
"Oh it's on!" Charles said pulling out his sword and charging me. I sidestepped and pushed him when he charged past me.
"You have no discipline." I said, slashing and piercing his upper arm. Charles just roared and started striking blindly. I blocked every slash and jabbed after every block. We fought for one minute before he was flat on the ground with my sword at his throat.
"That was a nice little warm up." I said, sheathing my sword and walking away.
"Watch out!" I heard Zoe say before turning around and seeing her receive the full force of water. I saw her crumple to the ground, unconscious.
3rd Person's POV
Percy's eyes were pure black.
"You dare hurt her!" He yelled, shadows bending around him. Charles just looked on in fear.
"Answer me!" He yelled as a ball of earth formed in his hands.
"Answer me you bastard!" He said again with multiple voices.
"She was stupid enough to stand in front of it." Charles said finally.
"Wrong answer." Percy said before the ball of earth sailed towards Charles and hit him with a satisfying crunch. The shadows that surrounded Percy moved across the ground to Charles's broken form. They grabbed him and lifted him onto his feet. A black portal appeared next to Percy and an assassin and two empousai walked out of it.
"Master." The empousai said, bowing.
"Colin," Percy said looking at the assassin, "take the one surrounded by shadows to HQ and torture him. Have the empousai help you, and remember torture not kill."
Colin nodded then grabbed Charles and took him to HQ. Someone cleared their throat and Percy turned around to see the Olympians standing there.
"So you work for Tartarus and Gaea?" Zeus said with a dangerous edge to his voice.
"I thought you were smarter than that Zeus." Percy said.
"You dare insult me?!" Zeus said electricity filling the air.
"Y-" Percy said before Aether, Nyx, and Erebus appeared.
"We'll take over before (A/N: I'm pretty sure I haven't revealed Percy yet so I'm just going to say Alpha.) Alpha says something he'll regret." Nyx said semi-glaring at Percy.
"T-t-t-the primordial gods! What do we owe this pleasure?" Athena said nervously bowing with the other Olympians.
"You're probably wondering how Alpha controlled shadows, monsters, and earth. am I correct?" Erebus said.
"Y-y-yes, Lord Erebus." Athena replied.
"Alpha had merged his mind with all the primordials." Aether said.
"How is that possible?! I thought mortals couldn't be a host of a god because of the immense power!" Athena said.
"We have no idea. Alpha successfully merged with Gaea after he defeated her, so we thought we could do the same." Aether replied. The Olympians just looked at the three confused.
"Okay. To simplify this, Alpha is now the host of multiple gods, he can withstand the immense power. So we all understand?" Erebus said. All the Olympians nodded and bowed before Erebus, Aether, and Nyx disappeared.
Percy's POV
I walked over to Zoe after the Olympians left. I picked her up and walked out of the arena and headed for the infirmary. I opened the door and walked inside. I laid her down in one of the beds and sat in a chair nearby.
"I'm sorry I didn't protect you Zoe." I said tears springing from my eyes. "I'm so sorry." I felt her shift in bed and saw her hand clasp mine gently.
"It's alright. I'm fine." Zoe said weakly.
"You could have died. I would have never forgiven myself." I replied.
"It's alright." Zoe said squeezing my hand in reassurance. I smiled and leaned forward to kiss her. She met me halfway there. I felt her hands around my neck, I put one hand in her hair and the other on her waist, pulling her closer. I smiled after we pulled away. She smiled back and sat up.
"You want to go outside?" I asked her.
"Sure. Help me up?" She replied. I put one arm around her shoulders and she put one on my waist as we walked outside. My life is the best. I thought.
*Time skip, Five days later*
The sound of a conch horn filled the silence of Camp Half-Blood. That sound meant only one thing, attackers. I got up and put on my armor. I slipped on my hidden blades and sheathed my swords. I grabbed a crossbow and a quiver of thirty arrows. I walked outside to see campers gathered at the crest of the hill. I pushed my way to the top after reaching the hill. I noticed Zoe wasn't there, but I just shrugged the thought off. I looked down and saw a massive army. Thousands of monsters gathered around the place. I didn't see the leader but I had a horrible feeling that I knew who it was. Hey can you guys leave my head? I want to fight them without help. I thought. I felt their presences leave. I drew both swords and charged down the hill yelling. The monsters surged forward and I met them in full force.
I heard campers join the battle as more battle cries sounded and all you could hear was metal clashing against metal. I drove riptide through a telekhine as it charged me. I started slashing at the monsters that tried to get past me. I looked around and saw the monsters start to thin out before they started retreating down the hill. I saw Oceanus appear as the monsters fled behind him. I saw him holding something.
"Alpha, leader of the assassins. Come with us or your girlfriend will have a painful time." Oceanus said holding out Zoe so I could see. I knew something was up when I didn't see Zoe at the top of the hill.
"Fat chance." I replied.
"So be it." Oceanus said before grabbing Zoe's leg and twisting slowly. Her screams reached me and I broke down.
"NO! Stop! I'll come with you." I said watching Oceanus come forward and put Zoe down behind me. He grabbed me from behind and started pushing me forward. I thrust my mind out to find Artemis and Hestia, I felt their minds and thought, create a shield around the camp and Zoe. I'm going to do something that will probably kill us all. They agreed and I watched as a nearly invisible shield surround the camp and stop right in front of Zoe.
Chaos, Nyx, and Erebus. I need help with this. I thought and felt them return to my mind. "You have lived a life full of hatred and murder. I forfeit my life to send you to the void. I call upon the powers of Chaos, Nyx, and Erebus to help me." I said as a black aura engulfed me. I yelled and it shot outwards sending anything it touched into the void. It lasted for about three minutes before it stopped. I looked around and saw nothing but the weapons and armor of the now destroyed army. I turned around and saw Zoe watching me from behind the shield, worry clear in her eyes. I just smiled before falling to the ground.
Hope you guys liked it. I need a beta so if you would like to be a beta then PM me, and sadly the fourth chapter may not be up fo a while since I only want to give you guys the best of my writing.
