Chapter 3: Reunion

Aria PoV

5 years later

It's been five whole years since the war against Gaia and the giants have ended. Five years since I had last seen my twin brother after he had been betrayed by his friends. Today is the 18th of August, my birthday and the day that we hold the annual meeting to see if anyone has found any leads on where Percy might be. Thalia, Nico, Artemis and I are the only ones who now even care about where Percy is.

Today is when I am going to ask for permission to leave to search for my brother. We know that he is not dead since his soul was not in the Underworld and yet I knew myself that he was not on Earth, otherwise I would be able to sense his emotions.

"Be seated everyone. Let's make this as quick as possible. Has anyone found any leads on the where Percy Jackson might be?" Zeus announced it in quick succession as no-one ever interrupted and followed his orders. Stony silence settled in the room. "No leads once again?"

"Lord Zeus, I would like to have permission to search for my brother." I asked as politely as I could. Only Thalia and Nico knew that even if I wasn't allowed to leave to search, I would run off anyway to search for him. Zeus looked at me with a calculating gaze and finally said a few words that made me want to bolt to the door, gather supplies and leave instantly.

"Permission granted. Are there any other issues?"

"Father, Nico and I wish to go and search for Percy as well." Thalia looked solemn as she said those words. She had quit the hunters or Artemis just after the titan war as the gods granted her immortality for fighting in the titan war, just like the rest of us.

"Granted Thalia." Zeus stated, "Nothing else? Meeting dismissed."

We all filed out and suddenly the three of us were confronted by Artemis. "Please find him, bring him back. Alive." She almost looked as though she was going to follow us to search for Percy. If I didn't know any better, I would say that Artemis liked my brother.

"We will try our best Lady Artemis." Thalia stated for all of us.

I knew where to leave to. Even after those years, I still remember the dreams of my brother leaving this world with a man that was dressed in a robe that consisted of galaxies and radiated power. Within an hour, we were in Manhattan, exactly where Percy had last been sensed by me.

A black vortex suddenly appeared in front of me. A tall man stepped out, exactly like the one in my dream. The only difference was that this one was real and I was frozen in awe at the amount of power and energy radiating off him. "I am Chaos, am I right in assuming that you three are Aria Jackson, daughter of Poseidon, Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus and Nico di Angelo, son of Hades?"

Ice PoV

Five years since I last saw my twin, the only person who had stuck by me throughout my entire life. Five years since that betrayal from my own father and girlfriend that left me without anyone to turn to. That was… Until Chaos found me.

Flashback – 2 hours after he left Camp Half-Blood

Walking through Manhattan, homeless, alone and starving, I headed to the one place that I could and always would call home. Walking past an electrical appliance store with TVs lining the window, I suddenly stopped and turned to look. It was as though I was drawn to it.

"Monumental floods and numerous storms are battering many settlements that are near the sea. What may be causing these weird weather patterns is something that even now scientists are eluded by." The announcer seemed scared of the storm as it was right behind her.

"…a fire in an apartment in Manhattan. The source of this fire is unknown, however many suspect it as a gas leak in a stove. An entire family was wiped out in this fire. This was Sally Jackson's apartment, no-one from this family has been seen to leave their apartment and they were sighted in their kitchen as the fire started…"

That was all I heard before I realised that I was now left alone in the world without anyone who could take care of me. There was only one place that I could return to… No! I will never return to that place, no matter how bad this is, I will never go back. Anger clouded my thoughts.

Percy? Can you hear me? Aria's voice suddenly came through the thick cloud of emotions. It was faint, but it calmed him.

Yeah, I answered and guess what? Paul and mum are both dead. Now I have no-where to go!

Percy, Poseidon is throwing a tantrum about you leaving. He wants you back.

No way, he can go and cry over his 'favourite' son now! Since he is 'SO MUCH BETTER THAN ME!' I laced my voice with as much sarcasm as I could.

Brother… my twin's voice was hurt, You know he can track you if you touch a body of water right?

Yeah! That's why I'm just going to run until I die, that is something no-one can stop me from doing!

Percy! Aria seemed alarmed and very hurt by what he had said.

Goodbye Aria. I'll see you in the afterlife. I blocked her off before she could reply to that, before she could sense my regret in turning my back on people who needed my help.

"Your potential would be wasted if you just died here and now." The voice seemed to be coming from all around me. It was heavy and ancient, almost as though it had known everything… Maybe I shouldn't have blocked Aria off… Maybe she would know what this is and how I can kill it… That was my only thought as I felt that ancient presence in the air.

"Show yourself!" I was scared out of my wits, but I might as well put up a show for whatever was there.

The voice laughed. It was full of ancient power and yet it was full of amusement as well. "No Perceus Jackson, I am not here to kill you. I am here to offer you a place as the commander of my forces."

"Who are you?" I said instantly. Damn my ADHD I thought right after I blurted that phrase out.

"I am Chaos." That caused alarm bells to go ringing off in my head. Chaos, the creator of the universe was standing speaking to me.

"I would like to offer you a chance to join my forces. To join my forces would mean immortality, invincibility, respect and a home. Not to mention that you would be commanding my forces and be my apprentice. That meaning that you would be more powerful than the gods, titans, giants… basically all the immortals combined: excepting me of course. Perhaps one day, you may be more powerful to me; when I fade, you will rule the void and do my duties in my place." Chaos told me as I grew more and more interested as I heard each word.

Then I remembered my sister, Nico and Thalia. I thought about them and all they had helped me with. Then I thought about the link between me and my sister; Aria would know if I was alive or not, she would come looking for me if she knew I wasn't dead.

"If Aria comes looking for you, I will recruit her and place her by your side as your assistant and she would gain the same powers as you." Chaos spoke as though he had read my mind. I realised then that one day, I would be able to rule the void with whoever I wanted.

"I accept Lord Chaos."

End Flashback

Five years and yet, Chaos had not yet recruited her. I had numerous friends in the forces of Chaos, most of them being my friends who had died in my old life. They all knew who I was. They just never called me by my old name. My identity in the void and as commander of the forces of Chaos was Ice; the cold hearted commander who followed orders from no-one but Chaos.

"Ice, there's someone here who I think you know." Chaos's voice sounded through my head. For the first time in five whole years, his link with his twin was sending emotions…

Percy? Is that you?


Tristanas1 I will kill off Annabeth later, after she causes a bit more trouble for everyone.

Well… What do you think?

Couldn't help but leave it hanging. Anyway, I am now allowing anyone to create a character to enter this story. I will probably add the first few as platoon leaders, some as soldiers and some as demigods at camp. If you have a preference, please say so.

Please include your character's name, godly parent (greek or roman please), characteristics, brief description, personality and weapon of choice.
