A/N Because you guys are so awesome and doubled the reviews from last chapter, I'm also going to answer your reviews here. Yay!

ZoeandArtyawesomelover: This story is going amazing just update because that is the only bad thing about your story...we have to wait

Ugh, I know! I'm sorry, I've been berating myself for not updating. Here's some more though!

Ice 88: is this a perlia plez make it so... also i really hope Perseus gets his revenge and doesn't fail, i hope he finds and tortures everyone who b3etrayed him heheheeh!

Oh gee, I wonder who's side you're on. It couldn't be Perseus', could it? Sorry… it's not Perlia. (I'm not against the pairing. It just doesn't work in this story. Maybe in a future story though.)

myawfod: Wow, Loved it! I love how you're giving a view on everyone's side, as it makes it more interesting. Keep writing!

That's exactly why I did that because sometimes it gets boring hearing everything from one or two POVs. Plus, I wouldn't be able to think of as many things to write. Thanks again for reviewing on all my stories.

senpen banka: Cool story, looking forward to more!

Thank you! Here's another chapter!

LoneWarrior97: Love the story so far

Good! I hope you enjoy the rest too.

dogbiscuit1967: People seem to forget that Thalia's fatal flaw is want of more power. So after hearing the story of Perseus and the promise of more power it is only natural she would join him. Hopefully she will be his queen. hint hint

I'm glad you noticed the power thing and about her hearing his story. I thought that was pretty obvious, but maybe not. Ya, I got the hint. Sorry, but Perseus will not have a pairing. :'(

roger9481: love the story but Thalia joining the other side was way too fast unless you plan on her being a double agent

Technically, this is the seventh chapter, so it's not too incredibly early, but I get your point. That wasn't intentional. I will tell you this. Yes, she is a double agent (kinda). No, I can't tell you who for.

Guardian'sDragonOfDeath: This is amazing

Aww, thank you. :)

Djberneman: U should have Perseus train Thalia in her powers as well as have all monsters and other demigods further trained

I'm already planning on it. ;D

Master of Dragons God: Cliffhanger you evil evil man :(

Girl actually, but evil none the less. *inserts evil grin to prove the point*

krasni: great chapter

Why Thalia joined Percy so soon.

If Zeus or the demigods, betrayed her, I understand, but she was persuaded by percy easily, I expected to she have some loyalty to his brother and father.

Also great chapter

a greeting

Yes, I realize that it may have seemed rushed. Trust me, she will have her doubts. There are a few reasons for it being so fast. 1) After hearing how bad the gods treated Perseus and how unfair they were, she kind of forgot for a while that the gods have their good sides too. 2) Percy bribed her (with power and with a better life), and he maybe, possibly have influenced her choices just a twinge. 3) I have many twists coming up in this story, and I need Thalia on his side to make them happen.

FallenOneAka X or Mr. X: i like it so far just don't pull a bs like thalia was never on his side she was just waiting for the right time 2 kill him that would be a dick move

No, I wasn't planning that… you will be surprised though.

Sithdoom: HA my computer screen is craked at all use mobile #rekted lol but in all serious do update soon before an angry mob makes its way to you.

Put down your torches and pitchforks. *holds laptop in the air* That's right. No one make any sudden movements or the chapter gets it!

PraetorFable: Amazing story! Great work! Can't wait for some more. :)

Thank you, here's some more!

paulawaldrup: I love it.

Thank you. I'm glad you do. :D

Arkyz: Great chapter! Just wondering, it's this going to be Perlia?

No, sorry. :( Perseus doesn't have a pairing in this.

Well, that's all the reviews. On to the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO.


Kronos was not in a good mood. First, he had been defeated by mere demigods and a child of Poseidon no less. Added to that, he had been forced to use a child of the messenger as a host which led to his plan utterly failing and him becoming the laughing stock of Tartarus. Of course, there was a happy thought that even his foolish brothers, the Giants, had failed too, but even that hadn't brought the satisfaction that he desired. Now, he was forced to suffer in Tartarus until all he could come up with a decent plan of escape.

"Um, Kronos?" a voice spoke up meekly.

Kronos lifted his head up from where he had been resting it on his fist. He glared down at the esposa before him and shouted, "You fool! I told you to address me by my title."

"I'm… I'm sorry Lord Kronos." the empousa shook in fear in front of him.

Maybe a few millennia ago when Kronos was younger, he might have felt pity on the quivering monster before him, but those days were long past now. He slammed his fistes down on the armrests of his makeshift throne that he had constructed from whatever materials he could find in Tartarus. It mostly consisted of brittle bones and cloth that fell apart at the touch. Thus, when he slammed his fists down, the armrests came clean of, and it was a miracle the rest of the throne didn't fall to pieces. This didn't console Kronos in the least, "FOOL! It's King Kronos! King! How many times must I say this? I. Am. A. King."

Each word was punctuated with a hard blow to the throne. At this point, there was no saving it. It crumpled to the ground bones scattering across the ground. This was apparently unnoticed by Kronos who had stood and was now pacing the room, or the closest thing to a room that a person could find in Tartarus, which in this case was a small cave. Kronos suddenly stopped his pacing and turned to the monster, "Tell me child, what is your name?"

"It's Kelly, my king." At this point, Kelly had gathered whatever boldness she had left and stood tall.

Kronos nodded, "Okay, Kelly, I'll give you a second chance. What did you want to tell me?"

Kelly was not fooled by this sudden kindness. The ruined throne was proof enough of how temperamental Kronos could be. "King Kronos, I bear bad news. Your older brother, Perseus, has escaped his prison and is currently loose in the mortal world above."

Kronos pursed his lips and resumed his pacing. "Hmm, yes, that does complicate my plan slightly. My brother is a very clever man and a very cunning warrior. Plus, he probably hasn't forgotten that I was part of his downfall. I wouldn't put it past him to try and carry out his revenge on those who have imprisoned him. Now, as to whether he will succeed or not, that I can not say for certain. Yes, he certainly complicates things…"

"Um, Lord… King Kronos, if I may dare to interrupt, I'm afraid there is more news. In fact, it gets worse."

Kronos waved his hand impatiently, still in thought. "Yes, yes. Get on with it then."

"Sir, Lord Ouranos… he is rising too."

Kronos paused a moment before turning to Kelly, "Now dear, why would that be bad news? Can't you see that we can use this to our advantage?"

Kelly looked unsure, "I… I don't know. How could that be helpful?"

"Soon you will see." Suddenly, Kronos noticed his destroyed throne, "And will you get someone in here to fix my throne? I am I king! I will not sit in ashes!"

As Kelly ran hurriedly out the room to so as he said, Kronos cackled with maniac laughter. Yes, soon they would all see.


"What first, my lord?" Thalia asked.

"First, you go back to camp." Perseus answered her.

Thalia tilted her head sideways in confusion, "But why?"

"Simple, you are my spy. You will be my full commander eventually, but for now I need you to recruit demigods and find out the Olympians plans. Clear enough?" Perseus lifted an eyebrow.

"Like glass," Thalia answered, "Now, let us get going. We have a war to win."

Perseus studied her, "Do you promise?"

"That I'm on your side? Of course, I promise that." Thalia answered easily.

Perseus looked at Thalia seriously, "Remember, child of Zeus, it is easy to make a promise, but it is even easier to break it. There will be a time when you will have to prove your loyalty to me. It's us or them."

Thalia nodded determinedly, "Us, it will be us."

Perseus raised an eyebrow at her, "As the mortals say, easier said than done."

"Who said I chose the easier way?" Thalia asked smirking.

"You, Thalia Grace, are a demigod after my own heart," Perseus grinned, "Now, lets see what chaos two powerful beings can cause."


Artemis stopped in her tracks, she had heard something. Suddenly, a scream pierced the air, and Artemis took of sprinting. That was Thalia's scream. As she dashed through the woods, Artemis started to notice the path where her huntress had walked through the woods. The path lead to a clearing. Seeing this, Artemis walked forward and pushed back the branches of a tree to see into the clearing. There lay Thalia on the ground, weaponless with a hellhound poised over her ready to strike.


"Jason, give me back my hammer!" Leo whined.

Jason shook his head, "No way, not until you admit that lightning is better than fire."

Leo shook his head as he reached across the lunch table trying to get his hammer, "Dude, lightning makes fire."

"Which is why lightning is better!" Jason exclaimed as he held the hammer out of Leo's reach.

Suddenly, Piper appeared next to them and plopped down next to Jason, "Ladies, ladies. You're both beautiful. Now shut up."

Leo mimicked flipping his hair over his shoulder, "Darling, I know I'm gorgeous. I'm just proving it."

Piper scowled, "I'm this close to dousing you with water."

Leo placed a hand over his mouth in fake terror, "Oh the horror! You wouldn't, would you?"

Piper scowled even more, "Can and will. Now shut up."

"Piper, Piper, shh… Do you hear that?" Jason held up his hand to his ear.

Piper frowned. All she heard was the noise of the other campers as they ate their lunch, "No, what?"

"That is the sound of my awesomeness." Jason replied.

"Ugh, not you too!" Leo snickered as Piper dropped her head on the table in defeat, "That's it. I'm done."

"Done with what?" Jason and Leo turned to see Annabeth staring at them in confusion, which was a rare feat in and of itself. Piper ignored her in favor of banging her head on the table which Annabeth frowned at, "Hey, stop it. You're killing brain cells."

"After listening to these too, I don't think I can lose any more brain cells." Piper looked up and half heartedly glared at Leo and Jason. Jason for his part was doing an excellent job looking innocent, Leo not so much. It was hard to look innocent with a hammer in your hand and a whip cream bottle in the other.

Jason must have noticed this because he immediately complained, "Hey! When did you take that? And what's the whip cream for?"

Leo hid both items behind his back, "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Annabeth rolled her eyes, "I'm surrounded by children."

Leo grinned at her, "Technically, you are. I think the oldest is like 18."

Annabeth glared at him, "Whatever, have you guys been training?"

Jason groaned at that, "Yes! Ugh, Ares does not go easy at all. Even Dionysus has been training with us! I didn't know he could be that strict!"

"They are trying to get you ready for the war, so you won't get killed. Be grateful." Annabeth reprimanded him, "Oh, have any of you seen Hazel or Frank? I need to talk to them."

The three demigods in front of her shook their heads, and Piper answered for all of them, "I don't know where Frank is, but he might be with Clarisse and his dad. Last I checked Hazel is sparing with Reyna in the arena."

Annabeth nodded, "Thanks.

"Why do you need to talk to them anyway?" Leo asked.

Annabeth sighed tiredly, "I need to talk to Frank about how we can use the Romans in our battle plans, and I need to ask Hazel about what's going on in the Underworld. I'd ask Nico, but he's busy helping his father."

Leo nodded, "Cool."

Annabeth rolled her eyes, "You didn't listen to half of that did you?"

"Nope!" Leo answered grinning, "Oh and by the way, we have two more ships done, and a whole boatload of weapons done. Literally, we filled up a boat."

Annabeth nodded, "Good, keep building, we need all we can get. Also, thank your dad for me."

Leo grinned again, "Will do, now go do whatever you said you were going to do when I wasn't listening."

Annabeth rolled her eyes and waved to the trio as she left.


"Thalia!" Artemis shouted.

Thalia looked over at her and gave her a desperate look, "Milady! Help!"

Artemis sprung into action at her words and took out her bow and an arrow. In a split second the arrow was lodged in the hellhound's chest. It didn't even have time to howl before it burst into dust. Artemis heard Thalia's sigh of relief, or maybe it was her own.

"Thank you, Lady Artemis. That was close." Thalia slowly stood up and wiped dirt off of her jeans.

"What happened?" Artemis asked concerned, "It's not like you to be defeated so easily."

Thalia shook her head in dismay, "It was so sudden. I was walking along, trying to see anything of use when half a dozen hell hounds suddenly leapt out from the trees. I dispatched most of them, but the last one bumped by shield across the clearing and crushed my spear. It then knocked me on the ground, and I couldn't do anything about it."

Artemis nodded, but then furrowed her eyebrows, "But I couldn't feel where you were. I still can't actually even though you are right in front of me. I wonder why?"

Thalia thought a moment. "You said this Perseus was a titan, correct?"

Artemis nodded, "Yes, the oldest and the strongest, the Titan of the Sky."

"Well, maybe being this close to his hideout caused his aura to block out mine." Thalia reasoned.

"Yes, that sounds logical." Suddenly Artemis seemed to grow older, he real age showing in the worry lines on her face, "I was so worried about you Thalia. After losing Zoe in the war with Kronos and losing hunters in the war with the Giants, I don't think I could lose another hunter this soon."

Thalia was suddenly very aware of how she was betraying her own half-sister and friend and was glad for the fact that Artemis was looking at the ground. It kept her from seeing the guilty look on her face, "It's okay, Milady. I'm still here, and I'm still alive. I promise that I will do everything in my ability to protect the hunters in this coming war."

And surprisingly, Thalia found that she was telling the truth. She may have joined Perseus' side, but that didn't mean that her old friends and family had to die because of it. Maybe she could make a deal with him and have him not kill them. Maybe he wasn't planning on killing them anyway. Maybe, but it was a slim chance.

Artemis smiled gratefully at her, her old youthful looks returning, "Thank you Thalia. We should get to camp now. The hunters are probably terrorizing the male population of the camp right now."

Thalia smirked, "Oh good, I get entertainment."

Artemis stared at her reprovingly, "Now Thalia, as much as I agee with you statement, we have to be allies with the camp to defeat Perseus. I doubt fighting will help that."

"Okay, mom. I'll try to get them to behave." Thalia rolled her eyes as she started to walk out of the clearing.

Artemis laughed lightly as she followed her hunter through the trees.

Little did they know that a pair of dark golden eyes watched them from the shadows.


"They are getting stronger." spoke a deep voice.

"Who?" a lighter voice.

The deeper voice chuckled, "All of them. Kronos, Perseus, Ouranos, and even the Olympians."

"But no one is as strong as us." the lighter voice replied.

"I wouldn't be too sure about that. Maybe combined they can take us down." the deep voice spoke with doubt.

"Now, now children. Stop your bickering." a third voice spoke up, "After all, it is not us they are fighting."
