3rd POV

The last thing Percy remembered was a bright flash of white light. A light that plunged his world into darkness. Oh how he wished he could stay in that darkness for eternity. If only.

When the son of Poseidon woke up though, he was surprised to find himself on Olympus- specifically in the throne room. All the Olympians were in their respective thrones, accompanied by the minor gods in their smaller thrones. The Camp Half-Blood cabin leaders and high ranking officers from Camp Jupiter stood near the large golden doors. Many gods and campers had scowls on their faces, all directed at Percy; even his friends. Percy himself was chained in the middle of the floor. His swim trunks were slightly charred along with a couple burns on his skin. He felt fairly naked, and even more so with all the prying and cold eyes on him.

"Perseus Jackson," Zeus bellowed. "Do you know why you are here?" Percy looked the sky god in the eye and shook his head.

"Don't lie to a god, mortal. You know exactly why you are here!" Thunder rumbled.

Percy honestly did not know why he was chained in the throne room. He tried to look at his father for guidance, but the sea god glared at him. Yet, his eyes held no fury; no, they held guilt. Percy suddenly became even more confused.

"You must remember the crimes you have committed against Olympus. Killing several demigods, including my daughter, and feeding Gaea our plans!" Athena accused. Aphrodite audibly sighed. She couldn't believe how easily her family was being played by Eros. Then again, love had certain . . . temptations and influences. But she knew that Eros didn't use charmspeak. Ancient laws allowed no such thing. Ancient laws also didn't allow immortals to sentence their children to punishment, unless they got approval from the Fates.

"I wouldn't do that! I loved Annabeth! I was the one who put Gaea to sleep!" Athena glared at the son of Poseidon.

"Shut it punk. That was all an act and you know it," Ares scoffed.

Percy was nearly shaking in anger. "How about you ask Apollo! He can't tell a lie! If he says I didn't, then I didn't!" All heads snapped to Apollo who gulped. Beads of sweat dripped down his neck. It was as if he ate the sun and it was burning him from the inside out. He was having trouble forming words to send Percy to Hell. He would never see the gorgeous son of Poseidon again. His windswept hair, beautiful tan skin and sexy smile would be gone forever. But his power and duty as a god came first.

Apollo tentatively nodded his head, and it killed him to do so. Percy's eyes grew wide with betrayal. Guilt consumed the sun god. He felt like all his light had been consumed by Erebus' darkness. And it killed him.

"See! Apollo even says so!" Athena exclaimed.

"Now, seeing as we have proof you attempted to betray Olympus, which of those on the council vote for Perseus to be exiled to Tartarus?" Percy gasped. He couldn't go back to that retched place. At least not without Annabeth.

Zeus, Hera, Demeter, Ares, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Artemis, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo and Hermes raised their hands. Aphrodite grunted in displeasure of the situation.

"Now for the minor gods." All raised their hands excluding Trip and Hecate. Zeus nodded in approval at the outcome.

"And lastly, the demigod camp leaders."

The Roman's hands shot straight up, keeping their fierce loyalty to the gods evident. Reyna had kept her hand down. All the Camp Half-Blood cabin leaders also put their hands up. Nico, though, had kept his hand down. He still refused to believe the gods. Especially since he felt the shadows move on their own. That meant something was watching.

"It has been decided. Perseus Jackson, you are sentenced to Tartarus for your treachery against Olympus!" As the last word left Zeus' mouth, serpent-like shadows slithered from the corners of the throne room. One by one the crawled along Percy's body, slowly covering him in shadows and pulling him into the ground. Seconds later, Percy was gone. As if he wasn't there to begin with. Yet, that wasn't the weird part- Nico and Reyna were gone too.

ooOOoo

Percy did not know where he was at the moment. He remembered being consumed by shadows after he was sentenced to exile. When he woke up, he was chained to a hard, tall wall, shaped like a hemisphere. Torches were placed every few feet to his left and right. Empty chains hung from walls to either sides of him also. His body was completely bare except for the small cloth that barely covered his crotch and ass. Yet, suddenly, they were one by one filled. Percy was shocked to see what he saw. To his right, Luke, Beckendorf, Nico and Ethan were chained and "dressed" the same as him. To his left, Silena, Zoe, Bianca and Reyna. Cloth also covered their private areas, but they were mostly exposed. They were all scared and confused and dazed. None seemed to register where they were.

"Welcome to Tartarus, and for Perseus and Nicholas here, welcome back. And for those of you who died, welcome back to life. Kinda, it may not feel like it after a while." Eros appeared in the low-lit room. His blood red eyes glinting in the torch-light. Hemera and her father appeared next to him.

The demigods snapped out of their daze and looked around. Nico and Bianca stared at each other with tears in their eyes. Luke, Silena and Beckendorf stared at Percy in shock, and Percy stared back the same way. Nothing had changed except for the fact that Luke's scar was gone. Percy turned back to the deities in front of him.

"Who are you?" he spat. Percy and the others could feel the raw power radiating off of the figures. It almost felt like it was also being suppressed. That thought scared Percy.

"Relatives of Gaea. You can figure out our iden-" Silena cut him off.

"Eros, Hemera and Erebus. The physical manifestations of Love, Darkness and Light. Erebus and Eros are the brothers of Gaea and Hemera is the daughter of Nyx and Erebus. A nasty trio if you ask me," Silena explained as she glared at Love. Eros smirked a bloody smirk.

"Well aren't you a smartass daughter of Aphrodite. Nearly as wise as your mother." He went up to her and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look into his blood-red eyes. She didn't even flinch.

"I hate daughters of Aphrodite." Eros let go of her jaw and walked back to Erebus and Hemera.

"Now, you must be wondering why you are here. Even you, daughter of Bellona and son of Hades. Well, long story short, we needed to make sure all the heroes that could ruin our plans. Dead or alive, you had a chance of ruining our plans. You are also here for our entertainment."

"What entertainment?" Luke asked. Hemera appeared in front of Luke with a silver knife in her hand.

"You always looked better with a scar." She made a quick slash from his right eyebrow to his cheek. Blood spurted out and Luke screamed in pain. Hemera laughed showing her blinding white teeth.

"Welcome to the Mansion of Night."
