I really need to work on actually writing this story. I have no excuse as to why I haven't been writing except being lazy. Now back to the actual story. I know I went to fast in the last chapter but I plan to fix that in the next few chapters. Anyway, here is chapter three.
"Percy, wake up. There are things we have to do, things you must know." said a female's voice, to the right of me. It wasn't like the voice that lady had because this voice made me feel calm, happy, and protected. The lady I saw at the camp had a deeper, more commanding voice. I opened my eyes to look at a stunningly beautiful girl. She had dark violet eyes, long brown hair, a slender form and was wearing a white dress. I was unable to properly form words for a solid ten seconds. "Get up Percy, you're gonna make Lord Chaos angrier." she had said. I finally was able to form words. The words that came out of my mouth were "Huh?".
"Come on, we have to go." she said. She handed me some clothes and left the room. I looked at the clothes and tried to clear my head. I got out of the bed I was on and was surprised to see I had scars all over my body. But there was something that stood out more than even all the scars. There was a large black marking that stretched from both my shoulders to the center of my chest. I traced my hand across it to find it was ice cold. But I hadn't felt anything when I was lying down or even now. I resolved to ask about it later, so I put the clothes they gave me and exited the room. I found the girl waiting outside the room, probably waiting for me.
She turned my way and gave me a a friendly smile. "Good, you're dressed, follow me please and don't wander off.". We headed down the hall we were in. "So... What's you name?" I had asked her. "It's Flaria, you can call me Flare though." she answered. "Where are we going, what's happening, how did i get those powers back at the camp?" I asked. She gave me a look of pity. "To answer you first question, we're going to the Palace where our Lord resides in." She said. "And who is this 'Lord'?" I said. "Lord Chaos." she replied.
I stopped. "L-L-Lord Chaos... as in, the Lord Chaos, creator of the universe and embodiment of nothingness?" I said, in both awe and fear. "That's the one." she said. "But why would Chaos..". "Lord Chaos, in this planet, Lord Chaos at the very least must be given his rightful title. It's considered a high form of disrespect to not address someone with the proper title." she said. "Huh, thanks for the head's up, but what does Lord Chaos want with me?" I asked her. "That is for you to ask him yourself" she said. Then we grew silent.
When we close to exiting the building, she stopped and said "In this planet, every civilian that lives in the cities has around the same strength as an Olympian god or goddess" said Flare. "Everybody creates an aura that creates a pressure in the city so when we step outside, you may feel as if you will be holding an extremely heavy bag on your back." she warned me. "Wait, if the aura is so strong, why can't we feel it in here?" I asked. "Because this building, the infirmary, has a protective shield that prevents the pressure from entering the building. Only a few buildings in the city have a shield like this to prevent patients to feel the immense pressure on a wound." she said. Then she opened the door and we walked outside.
Before I knew what had happened, I had fallen to the ground instantly. Flare grinned. "Need help there?" she asked. I forced myself to stand up, which was like doing squats with over two hundred pounds of weight on your back. The worst part about it was that the weight seemed to be increasing very second. "Let's... hurry... please" I said, panting from the effort of the increasing pressure. Suddenly a ring she was wearing started to beep. She looked a little worried. "Even though I find this kinda funny, we really need to go. Like right now." Flare warned.
She grabbed my hand and muttered some words. It suddenly felt like the pressure had lifted. I was able to stand up straight up easily and I looked around to to see that Flare looked pale. "Hey, you ok there Flare?" I asked, a little bit worried. "Yeah, I'm fine, it's just that I haven't used a spell like that in a while." she said. "A spell, as in magic?" I asked. "The spell allows anything that isn't from this planet to move at normal pace without restraint for about an hour." she explained. "What about you, will you be ok?" I asked her. "I'll be fine but you need to go to the palace. Lord Chaos will be waiting in the throne room. If you need me, I'm usually in the library." she said. "Ok, thanks for the spell." I said. She smiled. "No problem but you gotta go Percy." She said. "Ok, bye Flare, and thanks for the help." I said.
I turned and ran towards the large palace to find the entrance. I found the entrance and asked a man in dark armor which direction was the Throne Room. "Go down the hall, take a left then go up the stairs into the Main Hall. From there, you will see many doors with signs over them. Just look for the one that says Throne Room." he said. "Thanks." I responded. I headed in the direction he instructed and found just what he. It looked like a endless hallway containing an absurd . I walked several hundred feet before finding the Throne Room. I braced myself for whatever was on the other side of the door and opened it. I stepped inside and the only thing I could say was "Wow.". The room I was in had a great view of the city and the stars in the sky. It was like a balcony with a jet black throne in the center.
In the Throne, there was a being that radiated such power than I felt I was burning up. The being was a man with tan skin, white eyes, and muscled features. I bowed because I knew he alone destroy me in ways that even the gods on Earth couldn't imagine. "Stand." he said. He had a deep voice, but it was calm and welcoming. I stood up like he instructed me to do. "Are you Lord Chaos?" I asked him. He nodded his head. "Why am I here?" I asked him. "You are here because you choose to be." he explained. He stood up and walked over to me. "Do you realize how long you have been asleep Percy?" he asked. A feeling of fear started to creep up on me. "How long?" I asked, knowing I would regret asking. "You have been here for over five thousand years." he said.
My eyes widened. "B-b-but how am I even alive after so long?" I asked. "We took you here and made you immortal." he said. "Why?" I asked. "Because you are part of the final Prophecy, many of your friends from Earth are still alive as well. The Olympians foresaw this prophecy and made several demigods immortal to help them with the war." he explained. "The war, who are they fighting?" I asked. "My brother, Order" he said. "What would Order want with the Olympians?" I asked. "Nothing, there isn't anything that they can give him, he is looking for his powers, the ones I concealed in gems and locked away long ago." He said. "So that what they are protecting?"I asked. "That and one other thing. He is looking for the Scythe of Gods. A weapon that belonged to our father, but was lost when Order attempted to kill him." He said.
"Ok, but if it is there, why don't you get it?" I said. "Because I cannot hold it, only mortal sons or daughters of Order or Chaos are allowed to hold it." he said. "Then why don't you have a mortal child?" I asked. "Because we are too powerful." He turned around and looked at me. "My father had made a powerful law that only allows us to give birth to beings that are near the same power as a primordial being. If me or my brother tried to have a child with a mortal women, she would disappear, as well as the baby." He explained.
"Then how are you going to get a mortal child?" I asked. "I plan to adopt one but in order to raise him and allow him to take my throne, he must have faced a life of pain, betrayal, and forgotten by the ones he loves." he said. "Ok, if you plan on getting a child like that, why a I h..." I stopped mid-sentence, realizing why I am here now. He changed his face to a face of caring and understanding. "But, I don't have a life of regret, nobody I know has betrayed me, and I doubt my friends and father would've forgotten me." I said, looking down at the black floor. "Do you want to know what happened to your past for it to qualify?" He asked. "I want answers..." I said. "Then take my hand." He said. I walked up to him and grabbed his hand, which was stone cold (literally, it felt like stone.). "Ianuae Magicae usus ad Core de Memories." he said in a foreign language.
Suddenly, a green circle with symbols appeared around us. It emitted a light that surround us and brought us to a different area. When the light subsided, we were in a cave. In the cave, there was a tunnel with millions of white gems the size of a boulder. "Hold out your hand and say 'Come forth, memories of my past'." Instructed Chaos. I did so and a gigantic sphere appeared before me. "This will let you relive the memories that I have shut away from you." he said. He reached out and a purple sword appeared, which he uses to tap the gem. The tip of his sword glows brightly and with the glowing tip, he touched my forehead. Then everything went black.
