Percy stood on top of one of the buildings of New York, watching over the 'City that never sleeps'. It had been over a decade since his transformation to a Wanderer of the Gods. It had been the hardest ten years of his life.

He straightened and leaped towards the nearest building.

Both camps treating me like an outcast.

He rolled on his back and kept running, sensing a demigod close by.

The arrival of Poseidon's bratty 11 year old child, being a nuisance to me whenever i'm around.

He scanned the area with his pale, sea-green eyes.

The very fact that my friends had taken the Gods' words of me being a coward, being weak.

He uncapped Riptide and leaped downward, spotting a boy in his teens, beaten and bruised, surrounded by wild Harpees.

And of course, my breakup with Annabeth.

He stabbed one in the back as he landed, turning it into dust. He then swiped his sword in an arc, taking down one more Harpee while making the others jump back. He stood in front of the teen, puting himself in a stance.

The Harpees attacked.

The first one, Percy ran through with his blade. The other two made a wild run towards the kid behind him. He managed to kick one, sending her crashing towards the dumpster, while he grabbed hold of the Harpee by the neck and slammed her towards the ground, dazing the monster. He didn't waste time and stabbed it, its essence disintegrating. He looked up and threw his blade towards the last one, running it through the head and sticking itself to the wall.

He stood and brushed off the monster dust, walking towards Riptide. He pulled the sword out and reverted it to its pen form. He looked at the kid.

The kid was around his late teens, with shoulder-length, shaggy black hair and eyes the color of lima bean. His dark gray hoodie had been torn in half and his shirt had claw marks. His jeans were ripped and had a few burn marks.

"You okay kid?" Percy asked as he helped the kid up to his feet. "Ye-yeah. Thanks for... you know... saving me back there" he said, rubbing the back of his head. Percy clapped him on his shoulder and tried for a smile "No prob' kid. You don't seem freaked out by all this" he stated, curiosity hinted in his voice. The boy looked down glumly "I've known about it for a few years. My mom told me about it, before she... she.." tears started streaming down his face. Percy drew out a hanky from his pocket, handing it to the kid. "Don't worry man. I'll find you a new home" he turned and waved to the kid. "I'll bring us to Camp 'til they find out your heritage".

"He-heritage?" The kid sniffed.

"You'll figure it out. Alright, c'mon"

He held the teen on his shoulder and flashed towards Camp-Half Blood.

"Alright kid, just go through the entrance and ask for Chiron" he pointed towards the gate.

"You're not coming" the teen asked.

"It's complicated, but i'll see you 'round" he turned to leave when a voice spoke behind him.

"Indeed you shall" a baritone voice spoke. Percy spun around to see the kid gone, replaced by a tall, dark skinned man. He had a shaven head and wore a simple dark suit. But what threw Percy off was his eyes. His eyes were pure, milky white.

"What the fu-!?" Percy exclaimed but the man cut him off by raising his palm.

"Please Perseus, take note of your language. No need to exaggerate" he said smiling. "I'm here to offer a deal" instantly a table and two chairs appeared, the man sitting opposite towards Percy. "Please, sit" the man gestured towards the remaining seat.

Percy came out of his shock and uncapped Riptide. He pointed the blade's end towards the man. "Buddy, you got five seconds to tell me who the hell you are before i go all Chuck Norris on you!" Percy threatened.

The man seemed more amused than terrified. He waved his hand and instantly, Riptide reverted to its pen form. "I dislike weapons being brandished during a civil meeting Perseus" he said.

"Ho-how did you-?... with Riptide and the... How?" Percy exclaimed, unable to shift his pen into blade form, as the cap was stuck to the pen.

The man sighed and motioned his hand downward, an invisible force grabbing Percy and forcing him into the seat, much to the shock of the sea spawn.

"Let me introduce myself first and explain, preferrably without any comments and interruptions" he said, a hint of irritation in his voice. Percy narrowed his eyes, then nodded.

"Good. My name is " instantly, a strong gust of wind blew past as the man said something incomprehensible. "I'm sorry, but what now?" Percy asked. The man looked surprised then chuckled. "My apologies Percy. I forgot your just an immortal. Never mind. I suppose that in your language my name is Void" he said in a matter-of-fact tone. "I come to you with a message from your mother" he said. "Mom?" Percy looked mystified.

Why would his mom send a message like this. "My mother Sally Jackson right?"

"No"

"What? As far as i know, i have only one, one, mom. You okay dude?" Percy said.

Void simply stared at Percy, but his eyes had morphed from the color white into what looked like the infinite space, dotted with stars and galaxies.

Percy's patience was wearing thin, so he started to stand when a voice instantly boomed in his head.

Conquest, I know your in there.

"What the-!?" He began knocking on his noggin', hoping that he wasn't going crazy.

Stop that the voice said.

He slapped his head harder. "YOU STOP THAT!"

You're not insane Perseus. It's me, Void.

Percy lowered his hands, looking at Void. Void's eyes still remained... spacey.

"What is this, Jedi Mind trick?" He waved his hand in front of Void's face.

I'd appreciate if you stopped that.

Percy stopped, but slammed his fist on the table. "Gods damn it! Who the fuck are you!? Why are you in my head? And who in Poseidon's name is Conquest?" Percy shouted.

It would do you well to shut up.

"What if i don't want to, huh?"

Then i'll do this.

Percy was mystified, 'til a second later his head got a a splitting headache. No, it really felt like it was splitting, as if Hephaestus had slammed his axe full force in Percy's head.

"AAAAGGGHHHHHH!" Percy screamed in pain, rolling around in the grass while he clutched his head.

Will you shut up now?

"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! JUST FUCKING STOP!" He pleaded. Instantly, it stopped, just a pulsating in his temple. Percy warily stood up, holding his head.

Sit.

Percy complied, not wanting anymore tylenol headaches.

Good. Now let's begin.

Immediately, Percy began to see images, visions of the Universe in its early stages.

When the Universe was still young, Chaos' children wanted domains for themselves, a place to settle down and begin their tyranny.

Percy saw a stunningly beautiful woman speaking to beings larger than her.

A few stayed loyal to Chaos and understood that what their bretheren were mistaken for trying to rule her kingdom. They waged war against each other, one side wanting Chaos to retire, give them the reins of the universe. The other side believed that Chaos should rule for all of eternity, since she created it.

Percy watched as giants of incomprehensible size charged at each other, and he knew he was seeing the first smackdowns in all of creation. One giant made of darkness slammed its fist into the face of a giant made of water.

It was a bloody period, and because of the division of her children Chaos was gravely weakened. With the Big Mama incapacitated, the war never stopped. But Chaos had a back up plan. She had created five beings of immense power. These beings were her failsafe just in case things got out of hand, but before they could mature their abilities, a creature arose, a being made from the madness and hatred caused by this war. He was named Wither.

Percy watched as a giant, cloaked in star dust, rised from the remains of a galaxy. Even if it was just a vision, he could feel its power, its hatred for all creation. It arose to full height and marched towards the center of the Cosmos.

Even with its size, it had managed to hide from most of the primordials, except for an observant few. They tried to stop him, but they could not a lay a scratch. They ran to Chaos and warned her, told her to flee. But she was stubborn. She would not run and hide when all her hardwork would be destroyed. Even when weakened by conflict, she took up arms against the Wither.

Percy saw a great and fearsome battle. He saw the two adversaries face in battle, but his mind refused to comprehend the battle. It just couldn't.

Chaos fought valiantly, but she was at a disadvantage. With her remaining strength she called on my name.

"Why you?" Percy asked. Even as an immortal, he still had his usual ADHD induced outburst and mistakes.

Simple. I'm the warden.

"Warden?"

As the Void, i was an abyss. I contained Primordials that had rebelled but had been captured. Chaos and i made a deal. I would seal him, in exchange i would take her power from her.

"Oh" was all Percy could say.

Do not fret. I have no intention of ruling the Universe much longer. I can sense the Wither is finally stirring, close to escaping my prison.

"What now?" Percy exclaimed.

I maybe a warden, but my power is nothing compared to his. If no one stands up to him, then all of creation will cease to exist.

"So why come to me? Where are these five so called warriors now? Why not call them up?"

Your head really is full of Kelp.

"Hey!"

Look, Jackson. I'll make this quick. You're one of them. One of the five.

Percy looked flabbergasted. "Say what again? First of all, i'm just a Wanderer, not a great warrior. Second, i'm a fucking Wanderer!" He protested.

Not a warrior huh? Could've fooled me. If i recounted your actions, you wouldn't be a great warrior. You'd be a legend.

"The Gods made it clear. I was worthless. Annabeth had made it clear" he said, his mood shifting to depressed.

Then the Gods are fucking stupid. They casted you out 'cus they're scared Perce.

"Scared?"

You saved Olympus multiple times. You shifted the gears of Olympus, united the two camps. You bore the curse of Achilles to save them! Not only that, but you're the first Greek to rise to Praetor, and you didn't even reach the rank of centurion! You saved the Oracle of Delphi, saved Artemis, carried the sky, retrieved the Sword of Hades, fell down into Tartarus for your beloved, defeated Titans, Gods and Giants, took back Zeus' Master Bolt and Hades' Helm! You idiot! Not only that, but you united the Gods against Typhon, battled Kronos and more! Hell you even hosted an Egyptian god to save both Greek and Egyptian pantheons! And you say you're not worthy!?

"You done?" Percy raised his brow.

Yes.

"Good. And look, Void, i may have done those things but... i've failed in so many more things" he said.

Like what, with Annabeth?

"Yes".

She was the one who failed you Percy. Look, what i'm trying to say is that you give yourself no credit for the deeds you've done. I need you Percy. The Universe needs you.

Please let me explain. You're one of the five: Death, War, Famine, Pestilence and Conquest. You're Conquest Percy!

Percy was a bit taken back. Scratch that, he was truly shocked. This man was saying that he was one of the saviours of the Universe.

I'll explain more if you accept Percy. Please. The universe needs you. Chaos needs you. Plus, what do you have left here? Heartbreak? Pain?

Percy knew he should be angry at this, but he couldn't. Everything Void said was true. He sighed as he made up his mind.

"I accept, on the terms that you will keep my family safe here" Percy said.

Deal. Let's get going.

Void's eyes reverted back to normal. He stood and the table dissappeared.

"Come Perseus"

"Alright" he looked behind him as he felt a huge burden seemed to lift off his shoulder. He never knew he carried so much anger and sadness over the decade.

Void summoned a portal and both walked through, into the unknown.

HEY GUYS! Thanks for the two day wait. Special thanks to Queen of Hell 666 for supporting me and MarkDavidDamo for helping me make this :)
