I'm super depressed. Here's why.
One of my dear friends and sister in everything but blood, Cel or TheGirlWhoCan'tLetGo, committed suicide last night or on the 3rd .
She was bashed so much by haters on fanfiction, told she should die by them.
She is dead now. I will miss you forever, my sister.
I invite you to join me in a time of silence, mourning Cel.
I can't write because I am so sad. I can't write when I'm depressed, so no more updates till I leave my depression for a while. This chapter is prewritten so I just posted it. Updates will be slower for a while.
Review Responses
Deoxys- Yes, Terra is in the chapter as a minor character. I'll hold you to your oath. You broke your oath!
God of Ice- All the last are good guys... for now. Just because someone's parent did something bad, don't judge them.
True Alpha 92- Are you referring to the original last children of Chaos?
AlexJacksonSonofPoseidon- I like it better than the old one too.
XxBanewolvesLiveAgainxX- Yeah, Tartarus is an oddball and a bit funny too.
Joseph- As of my author's note on Storm Rising, 3/23/14, Storm Rising is taking a nap. The last children are awake and I'm writing!
Kcool456- As I told Joseph above, Storm Rising is not being written. The words aren't coming so I'm writing a story where the words do come.
I am that writer- Well, it was your birthday and you have been so nice to me, reading my story that wasn't Percabeth even though you love Percabeth. It's the least I could do. I'm glad someone agrees with me about the swearing stuff.
Kilo1999- A last girl is a daughter of Chaos and the other primordial goddess. Their title as a whole is the Last children. The girls are the last girls. The idea is the same, but I'm practically rewriting it. Updates will not be faster. I will put up a guide for all of the children, but I won't explain who they are every chapter, so it would be in your best interest to remember them.
zeta03- Yep, I am still writing.

When the footsteps of the primordials receded, for a moment nothing happened. Then Perseus sat up, pushing away his sea green blanket. He rolled silently out of his crib and landed gently on the floor. He tilted his head, motioning for the siblings to follow him. Willow sat up as soon as her brother hit the ground and climbed out of her crib. Soon the others were following suit in their silver diapers. With Perseus in the lead, they crawled to the door.
The door was shut, but not locked. Swiftly, the children made a little circle, locking eyes and seemingly forming a plan. The son of Thalassa nodded and his older brothers, Paul and Oliver, crawled over to a small wooden stool. One pushing, the other pulling, the stool was under the door knob. Mia, Alabaster, and Ethan lifted little Holly onto the stool. The purple eyed girl reached as high as she could, grasping the door knob with her little hands. She turned the knob, slightly shifting her weight so the knob turned.
All the others were ready to push the door open. At the signal from Holly, the twelve children on the ground worked together to push it open. They streamed through the door way. Holly dangled from the door knob before releasing her hands and falling. Perseus stayed back to catch his little sister. She gave him a baby smile and they continued after the others, crawling down the hallway.
In the Meeting Room with the Primordials
"How should we train them?" Aether asked, once they were all seated.
"All primordials should help train them," Chaos answered. "Eros, Tartarus-
"Chit- ching," Tartarus said, doing a money making motion.
"Thesis, Eros, Hemera, Aether, their mothers and step fathers, and Hypnos and Thanatos if they will," Chaos finished
"Thanatos and Hypnos like my nephews Thanatos and Hypnos?" Tartarus asked.
"Yes, you idiot. The two sons of mine that you trained in your fiery pit," Nyx scolded.
"Oh that Thanatos and Hypnos. They are cool," Tartarus said, slowly nodding his head. "Were they at the last meeting?"
"No, Zeus had some stupid godly census on Olympus that I also HAD TO attend. It was so dry. Zeus basically talked about how awesome he was-"
"He's not more awesome than me," Tartarus put in.
"And how much Olympus had prospered. We filled out forms and turned them in. It was so stupid," Eros finished.
"Ah, I see," Tartarus said. "Now back to my nieces and nephews. I'll teach them how to be totally awesome and badass.
"I'm afraid you would do the opposite," Nyx teased.
Tartarus looked offended and was about to say something when Chaos cut him off. "Tartarus, I was hoping you could teach them about monsters, titans, giants, or anything else in the pit. Maybe how to summon hell fire."
"Cool!" Tartarus said, giving a thumbs up. He lit himself on hell fire, a black fire straight from Tartarus, and leaned towards Gaia. "Want a hug sister?"
"No!" She summoned sand and threw it on him, putting out his fire.
"DAD!" Tartarus wailed. "She threw sand in my eyes!"
Chaos rolled his eyes. They would never grow up, especially Tartarus. "Eros, you could teach them how-"
"To get girls," Eros finished. "Sure."
"I was going to say how to shoot since you are skilled with the bow. Thesis, you could teach them about life or biology or something like that. Hemera and Aether, I haven't quite thought of that quite yet. Hypnos could teach them about the sleep spell and Thanatos about the underworld," Chaos turned to the eight parents. "Each of you should train your child in the powers you have given them."
Ouranos raised his hand like he was in class. "What should I teach them? Sky in not in the children's domain.
Chaos nods. "That brings me to my next point. Each of you fathers will be blessing the children so they are stronger. We will have that unofficially tomorrow morning. Also, Thalassa and Pontus."
The husband and wife looked up at their father. "Yes?"
"Even though you only have one child in the Last Children, I expect help from you to teach the children how to swim. They should all know the important skill," The couple nodded. "Their mothers will teach them in their domain and I will help them with their Chaos powers and learning how to supervise the world."
"Father, I have a suggestion," Thesis said.
"Yes my dear?"
"I suggest we don't make them primordial gods, just primordial children. That way they won't be bound by ancient laws and they could be a secret weapon."
"Interesting, They would be immortal, yet not have domains. I like it."
"Father, I don't mean to interrupt," Gaea said. "But I think the children are hungry and we should go feed them."
"Yes," Chaos flicked his hand. "Go on, we will meet up another time."
Chaos rests his head on his hand as the four new mothers walk down the hall towards the nursery. Eros and Tartarus are arguing about who's awesomer, but it's in a brotherly way. It sure has been a long day with the birth of his thirteem new children. Suddenly, screams break him from his thoughts. Ouranos, Chronos, Pontus, and Erebus are the first out of the door with Chaos close behind them. The other primordials follow them, racing down the corridor.
They reach the nursery to find the women hysterical and near tears. The cribs, every single one of them is empty.
"Who could have taken them?" Aether ponders.
Ouranos and Chronos look around carefully looking for the missing babies. Erebus is peering into shadows. Pontus comforts his wife, wrapping his arm around her. Chaos stares at the cribs intently. The blankets are to the side like someone rolled off of the crib. There are crawling marks from all the cribs to the door. The stool by the door only confirms his suspicion.
"Gaea, Nyx, Thalassa, Ananke, relax. The children are not stolen. They simply left the room. See the blankets to the side? The children rolled out of bed then crawled to the door. They dragged the stool over to the door. They must have gotten one on top of the stool then pushed against the door when the one of the stool turned the knob," Chaos explained.
"Where are they then?" Ananke asked.
"Follow the crawl lines on the carpet," Chaos instructed as he left the room to find his children.
The primordials leave the nursery, following the lines on the carpet. The lines are leading to the section of Chaos's mansion that he designed for the children. There were bedrooms and bathrooms for each, small kitchen, lounge area, training arena, track, meeting room, and lots more.
"The lines seem to be going towards the meeting room," Gaea said. Tartarus walked ahead of them and pushed open the door to the meeting room. He gasped.
"What is it?" Nyx asks. Tartarus was unable to respond. Chaos walked forward to look into the room himself.
What he saw left him speechless. All of the thirteen babies were sitting on their chairs Chaos had designed for them around a Rectangular table. Perseus sat at the head of the table. They were all sitting in the exact correct chair.
"How?" Ouranos asked from his place beside Chaos. The children were looking at a huge three D model of the earth. They had managed to get out of their cribs, open the doors, climb stairs, walk down hallways, open more doors, and climb into the chairs. They even managed to project a giant model of the earth from the controls in each chair's arms.
"How are my favorite nieces and nephews?" Tartarus said, putting his arm around Keira. She rolled her dark blue eyes at him and flicked him off her shoulder. The older primordials burst out laughing.
"Just like her mother," Chaos said, before becoming serious again at how these children could accomplish such a feat.
"I think I have an idea of why this happened," Thesis mentioned. "Besides from being very smart immortals, they also are aging very quickly. I suspect their baby years will go be twice or maybe three times as fast as mortal babies. When they reached the age of five, the growing will slow down. When they become eight, their growth rate will become like a normal mortal child's. When they hit sixteen, they will take on the true deity form that they will have forever."
"Probably works out just as well. The years when training can be more rigorous will go by slower," Eros said.
"Let's get you back to your cribs," Nyx said, scooping up her son Paul. The other primordials all picked up a baby and headed back to the nursery room, where this time, Chaos put a special lock on from the outside that would only open if told the right word.~
~ When the Children are one year old (not one year after after) ~
Chaos smiled as he peeped through the window that showed the children's nursery and connected playroom. His new favorite pass time was just standing there for hours and hours, watching them play and grow. They grew very quickly and their intellect was amazing for such young children. All of them could already talk and the first few were learning how to talk. He smiled as Paul and Oliver, or Ollie as they called him for short, played on the jungle gym and slide.
Slowly and gently, Chaos pushed the door open. Ananke and Thalassa looked up from their knitting to smile at him. When the children had been born, the babies spent the majority of their time splitting between the nursery where they slept and the playroom, where they had plenty of room for all thirteen children to develop. There was always a primordial or two in the room, but that wasn't a problem. So many of the primordials had fallen in love with the children that it was harder for them to leave. Chaos almost always had his iPad security system on the children's room because he loved to watch them.
Ananke, who had taught her daughters, the fates, to knit, was an expert in knitting. She had began to teach the other women and Tartarus, he was always the odd ball, how to knit. It was a useful thing to do while watching the children.
Thalassa wasn't as good at knitting as some of the others, but she was great at embroidery. Tartarus was a surprisingly good knitter, except he liked to knit baby hats of blood red and pitch black with pitch fork and fire designs, which Thesis deemed inappropriate for the children's age.
Chaos slid into a chair next to Ananke. "How have they been today?" He whispered.
"Little angels," Thalassa replied as she checked over her knitting. "No problems ever."
Keira got up and toddled over to Willow who was painting a picture on a mini easel. She tapped her shoulder and the girl's eyes locked, having a silent conversation. After a bit, Willow nodded and the two walked over to a bin of large foam blocks. Pulling off the lid, they begin dumping out the large, soft, blocks. Together, they dragged over an easel that had a white board underneath. Willow picked up a black marker and began drawing. Intrigued, Chaos summoned his ipad and began recording the process. When she stepped back, Chaos got a good look at the board. The daughter of Gaia had drawn an arch, one that they could build using the cube, rectangular prism, cylinder, and triangular prism blocks. The two sisters began to construct the base of the arch. They sorted the blocks into separate piles before began making two stable pillar bases.
As they were placing the second layer of blocks on, Holly came over, her purple eyes shining, to help. The three sisters placed another layer on. Paul nodded to Oliver and the two jumped off the jungle gym to come help. Amy, Imogene, and Mia all came over as the fourth layer was finished, Perseus, Max, and Alabaster close behind them. Hayden and Ethan got up from the game they were playing to boost Holly so she could put the triangle on the top. Then the children stood back, finished.
Chaos turned to look at Ananke and Thalassa, whose mouths were wide open in shock.
"They just constructed that in ten minutes?" Ananke was awestruck.
Perseus toddled over to them and put his little hands on Chaos' knees. "Da da, take pishure," He said.
Thalassa smiled at her son as he said one of his first complete sentences. Chaos obliged, lifting up the ipad to show he was going to take a picture. Perseus walked back to the group and they lined up in front of the arch. Hayden and Max hoisted Holly onto their shoulders while Keira and Willow hooked arms. Everyone put their arms around each other, with the exception of Holly, who was on shoulders. Chaos took several pictures. They would become one of his favorite pictures.
~When the Children are two (not two years after though)~
It was a beautiful day, sunny, mild temperatures, and big fluffy clouds, in the Void and Chaos, who was watching the children, took them outside. The castle/mansion where Chaos, the primordials, and the children lived was on the edge of the city of the Void. The mansion was surrounded by lush grasses on three sides, and extending further, a beautiful fountain and bridge plaza. On the fourth side, behind the castle, there was a small stretch of private fields before growing into a forest. The forest ran all the way to the Stormy mountain, where storms were always covering the peak, even on sunny days.
The father lead his children to a small park adjacent to side of the plaza and the lush grasses. A jungle gym and swings stood half way in the shade, half in the sunlight. A few massive oak and maple trees provide lush shade over the babbling creeks.
Chaos sat down on a bench nearby the playground as he watched his children play. He had noticed they all sort of found a best friend. Ollie and Paul were always together, running around and being active. Keira and Willow were his artistic and nature daughters. They loved to create stuff and be outside. Ethan and Hayden made another pair, while Max and Alabaster made a fourth. Imogene was closest with Holly, and Mia with Amy.
Perseus was the free roamer. He could fit in with any of these groups. Most people would find being a nomad friend made them the third wheel, but Perseus could jump in and play anywhere. Right now, he was playing in the shallows of the creek with Max and Alabaster.
The proud father turned to watch his sons, Ollie and Paul, on the jungle gym. They were always the aggressive and active ones. Chaos watched as the two ran up and down the slides playing a two person tag. Then Ollie got an idea. He ran over to Ethan and Hayden, tugging on their t shirts. He pointed to the slides and they understood what he was saying. All the children could talk, but Chaos suspected they were using their telepathic communication. Soon all four boys were playing tag together, laughing and occasionally a few yells.
Mia and Amy walked over to Perseus, Max, and Alabaster. Perseus smiled up at them, and the girls joined them in the water. He amused them all by making the fish swim around their legs. Squealing, they all laughed. Already so powerful, Chaos thought about young Perseus.
Willow, Keira, Holly, and Imogene were all on the swings, swooping high. A normal mortal parent would have been worried, but Chaos wasn't. The children were strong. The siblings were connected with a strong bond and took care of each other. Perseus, as the leader, was especially caring and had a knack for knowing when his siblings were in danger. Even though, he was destined to be the leader, he had this air around him that made you feel like he was the one to trust and he would stick with you to the bitter end.
Sure enough, a demonstration of this soon happened. Keira was swinging very high on the swings. On her way up, the chain caught slightly. The seat shook violently and Keira was thrown into the air, thirty feet. Chaos was about to leap to his feet and help, but a little voice in his head said, Wait!
Perseus whipped around as soon as his little sister had flown into the air. His sea green eyes widened.
In an instant, several things happened. The most obvious was that Keira stopped falling. She was suspended in mid air. Chaos reach out his powers to feel a strong blast of air keeping her up. The energy was coming from Holly, with her hands up.
The second was that a large shadow net was underneath Keira, but she hadn't made it. Paul stood, frozen, by the monkey bars, holding his hands in the air, keeping the shadow net up.
The third thing was the large water cushion that had risen from the creek. The blue cushion was below the net, to soften a fall. Perseus too had his hands raised to keep it in the air.
The final thing was that the ground below Keira had turned to a large, soft sand dune. The dune was tall enough than it would make the fall turn from a jolting landing to a soft pillow. Willow and Imogene together had created this.
Holly's face began to pale and she began to sweat as she struggled to keep Keira in the air. Hayden, who was nearby, walked over to his sister. Raising his hands, he took some of the burden of keeping Keira aloft.
Ethan too began to help Paul keep the net in the air, but Perseus needed no help in keeping the cushion in the air. Not that anyone besides Chaos could help with that anyways.
Gently, Hayden and Holly lowered Keira onto the shadow net. Ethan and Paul took over from there, lowering the net to the cushion where Percy joined them in lowering her down. Finally, the net landed on the soft dune. Mia walked over to give her little sister a hug and make sure she was all right. Max and Ollie waved their hands and the sand disappeared. Perseus lowered the water back into the creek, not spilling a drop. The children began playing again as if nothing had happened.
When the Children are three (not three years after)~
The children were split into two groups for training when they turned three, Chaos saw to that. If not separated, the children could beat of the teacher of their training easily if together. This was the best way to ensure that they were trained to use their own powers, yet work as a team. He planned to switch up the teams frequently.
To even up the teams, they needed another person. Tartarus had recently informed the council that he had a daughter who currently resided in Texas with her mother. When Tartarus went to check on her one day, he found her mother abusing her. He rescued his three year old daughter, whose name was Terra, and brought her to the Void. Chaos allowed her to stay in the mansion with her father.
When creating the teams, Chaos had found a problem. There were thirteen children and thirteen was not an easy to divide number. He invited Terra to train with his children. The little girl readily accepted.
Team Alpha consisted of the older children currently and Perseus. Hayden, Ethan, Max, Amy, Mia, Imogene, and Perseus were all in this group. Of the two genders and parents, these were older than the others. Team Omega had the younger ones- Alabaster, Paul, Oliver, Holly, Keira, Willow, and Terra. Chaos was very pleases of how well the training was going. The children were progressing rapidly, mostly equal with the toy swords. Ananke's children were skilled above the others with the toy boys they used. Nyx's children lacked the skill in archery, but excelled with spears. No one had quite yet found a talent for Gaia's children, but they were good with sticks whenever they fought with them. He suspected they would be good with staffs like their mother. Perseus was good at swordmanship like his siblings, but lacked archery. Chaos knew none of the weapons they had tried yet were right, so he would have to wait till Perseus was older.
Right now, Team Alpha was heading to archery with Eros. Of course, handling seven toddlers was hard, so Eros had a few people from the constellations helping. Ananke's children were doing great with their miniature bows. Gaea's and Nyx's children were slowly improving. He watched as Amy pulled back her bow and shot an arrow straight into the bull's eye of the target nearby. Chaos made a mental note to congratulate her later.
Team Omega was going swimming with Thalassa in the pool with a few dolphins. The dolphins were very friendly and taught the children good lessons on treating animals well and communicating with them. Thalassa was already in the pool when the children arrived. She smiled when she saw them. Ever since having her son, Perseus, his daughter smiled and laughed more. The children dropped their towels at the side of the pool. Oliver whooped and jumped in the pool on the side of the pool away from the dolphins. Willow happily ran into the water after her brother. She came up next to her favorite dolphin, Flippy. Willow began stroking the dolphin under her chin and Flippy nuzzled her. The other children got in the pool excitedly.
That night Chaos sat with the children around the dinner table in the main part of the mansion. He loved to spend time with the children and the others deserved time off. Even though the children were developed in height and weight to about the age of three, they were still a lot smarter than that and could feed themselves.
"What did you guys do today?" Chaos asked, as he stabbed his fork in the creamy macaroni and cheese.
All the children broke out talking. "One at a time," Chaos called out.
Amy, sitting to his left since it was her turn to sit next to him, spoke up first. "I shot an arrow in the bull's eye today."
"I know, I saw you. That's great!" He said. Amy received a few high fives. They went around the table, each child telling their father excitedly what they had done.
Terra sat at the table quietly, feeling a little out of place among the others. Her black hair hung damply on her back from swimming with the dolphins. Her reddish brown eyes watched everything carefully. She occasionally put in a few words, slowly trusting them.
He then reached Willow.
"What did you do today, Willow?" Chaos asked.
"Flippy let me ride him!" The little girl exclaimed.
"Really?" Ethan asked, next to her.
"Yeah!" She said happily.
"Wow, Willow you are doing great!" The little girl beamed. "What did you do today, Ethan?"
Ethan murmured something uncomprehend able.
"What's that?" Chaos asked.
"We shot Eros in the butt today," Perseus put in from his place beside Ethan, his face flushing. The whole table burst out laughing. Ethan and Perseus slowly joined into the laughter, their faces still a bit red.
"No wonder he was limping when he left the archery range," Chaos said. Ethan and Perseus were both struggling at archery, but excelled in both swordsmanship and spear fighting. They probably didn't mean to shoot Eros. After everyone had shared, Chaos took them upstairs to their beds and personally tucked each one in bed.
