(A/N Hello everyone! I'm back with another chapter! This chapter will be focused on my OC once again, explaning what his little 'project' is, and also, a little something I created, which the project of his is not, I got it from a videogame, don't judge me, i'm a nerd with no social life. Also, a little chat with his favorite sister, who may not keep that title for long, as she knew of the plans... Anyways, I think I spoiled a bit too much, if anyone even reads this, so, yeah.)
-Nero-
As I worked on my project, I heard a knock at the door, and I used my powers to turn it into one way glass, and saw an actual friend of mine. I smiled, got up, and opened the door. "Hey Lou. What brings you here? News of the camp?" I asked. She laughed and came in as I closed the door behind her. "Actually no, I just wanted to talk to you for a bit." She said, and I blushed slightly, then she noticed the thing I was working on. "Whats that?" She asked, pointing at it. "A weapon i'm working on. Nothing major." I said, wanting to draw attention away from it, as not even my father knew of it. "Oh." She said, noticing I didn't want to talk about it. "So, what's up?" She asked. "Nothing too major, found out the primordials made a plan behind my back, brought the one person I despise here, and blew up my fathers castle, knocking out him and Chronos." I said, and she looked shocked. "Did you actually do all that?" I nodded, and she laughed. "Who did they bring here?" She asked between laughs, but stopped when she noticed my expression, as I spat out the name Perseus Jackson. I noticed she had a slight blush on her cheecks as I said the name, and that sent a pang of jealousy through me. "Oh. Why do you hate him so much?" She asked, the blush never leaving her face. "I thought I already told you? He embarresed Nyx, made a mockery of Tartarus, and slayed Gaia, even if that part was a ploy." I said, as she shook her head 'no' at the part where I said I told her. I felt a sharp pain in my right hand as I stumbled backwards and looked at it, and noticed it was becoming midnight black, and I went pale. No, I thought, not now! Anytime but now! "Nero? What's wrong?" Lou asked, then noticed my hand as I tried to hide it in my cloak, and she gasped. "W-what's that?" She asked, worried. I bit my bottem lip to stop from screaming in pain. "A curse that was placed on me logn ago, normally I would use a ritual to stop it, but it's too late. It's developed to much for me to stop it now." I said, as it engulfed the bottom half of my arm. She looked extremely worried, and asked. "What does the curse do?" I just chuckled. "Nothing much, just turns me into a mindless beast hellbent on destroying everything in my path till I either die or destroy everything if it fully engulfs me." She slapped me. "How can you laugh at something like that!" She screeched. I paused for a moment as I thought about something. "Lou, do you know how to use runes and words of power?" I asked, and she stated "Only slightly, I can use basic words of power, and my rune skills aren't that good, I can barely do 'Fire' in runes." Well there goes my plan. "Danget, I was hoping you'd be better, because I just thought of a way to stop this curse from spreading entirely." I said as I let out a small scream of pain as it finished engulfing my entire arm. "But, I have another plan." I stumbled over to my ritual circles, and started drawing extra runes, and said in the tounge of Primodials, as it engulfed the entire right side of my body, "Παύσηστάση"*
It worked. It had stopped spreading, and Lou engulfed me in a hug, which I stumbled back in shock as she started to silently cry on my chest. After a few moments, she pulled back, both of us blushing. "Well, i'm going to go yell at the rest of the Primordials for even thinking about this plan. Talk to you later?" I asked, as she nodded, but did something that shocked the both of us.
She kissed me.
It wasn't a friendly kiss on the cheeck or something like that. It was an actual kiss, which, after a few moments of shock, I eagerly returned it, and after about a minute, we pulled back, blushing like mad. And, before I could say anything, she ran out of the cabin.
Slightly dejected, I teleported to the Primordials throne room, where only Nyx was seated, staring at the middle of the room, where an orb was situated, Camp Half-Blood showing on it. I decided to make my presence known by doing the same thing I did in my fathers castle. "SolviteΕκραγεί" ** I said, pointing my staff, which I held in my right hand, which had the curse on it, at the orb, and it exploded. Shocking Nyx, who turned towards me, her pale face even paler than usual, and I said in a deathly calm whisper, "How could you." She faked a look of confusion. "How could I what?" She asked, a faint british accent in her voice. "You know perfectly well what!" I yelled at her, shocking her, as I had never yelled at her before. She had unshed tears in her eyes as she said. "I'm sorry, Nero, I really am, but we need him. He's an excellent sword fighter and a brilliant leader." I laughed. "Compared to our camp? A five year old child of Eros could beat him in a sword fight! And a child of Aither is a better leader! His plan for war is litteraly 'One: Rush in. Two: Kill things. Three: Do not die'." To some, the insults about the children of Eros and Aither might not seem like much. But children of Eros are horrible with swords, they prefer bows, and Aither and his children are like Hermes and Apollo. Always joking around, not a single care in the world, just doing whatever they feel like. "Look, Nero, please, i'm sorry that we brought him to camp. But we knew that you would disaprove!" She said. I just laughed again, but this was was humorless, and belonged on a madman. "Father tried that trick two! Guess what happened to him? I blew up him and Chronos, and his castle!" I said, summoning an image of him and Chronos in a pile a rubble, and the ruined castle. "Goodbye, sister." I said, putting as much hate and spite into the word 'Sister' as possible, and she began openly crying as I teleported back to my cabin, and started working on my project again.

*Combination of the Greek work 'Halt' and the Latin one for 'Stop'
** Combination of the Latin word 'Destroy' and the Greek one for 'Explode'
So, yeah. That happened. Now you know what Lou Ellen's part is! Nero's companion and a spy for Chaos!)
