Planet: The Void

Sector: 0

Date: November 15th, 2015

Darkness. No not darkness, absence was a better word for it. One moment Percy was in a beautiful realm of light and colors, the next there was nothing. No light, no sound just absence. The void was everything the realm of creation was not. Creation was bright, loud, and the aura seemed to be sinking into your skin, seemed like it was pressing against you. The void was black, just black as in Percy could see nothing. What was just as bad was there was literally no sound. Zero sound and zero light. The worst part however was that Percy felt like every atom of his body was being stretched apart violently. He didn't know how he was staying whole. He wanted to die. He couldn't think, all he knew was pain and fear.

After what seemed like an eternity, Percy could think again. First it was just bewilderment from the pain, then he began to count away the seconds. After 40,251 seconds, the pain stopped suddenly. All he could comprehend was the absence of pain. The darkness and silence didn't change, but he now just felt like he was in a very dark, very quiet place. At this moment he could feel his body again.

Out of nowhere he could see light in the distance, then he heard the voice of Chaos,

"Come back Percy that is enough."

Percy didn't know what that meant. But he knew he wanted nothing more than to leave this place and return to Chaos. He felt a tugging sensation in his gut, similar to when he controlled water. Then with a swish sound, he was sitting in a throne, looking down at what looked like a map of the universe. He looked around and saw Chaos looking the way he did back in the alley way. He was seven feet tall again and had the universe in his body and clothes again. Percy waited for the pain that came with looking at the creator in his universe form, but it never came. Percy found he could look at Chaos now as simply as he could look at anything else. Percy asked,

"What the heck was that Chaos? That was worse then what I saw down in Tartarus."

"Remember what I said in the alley? That was merely a portal to the void, what you just experienced with the actual void. What you just experienced is something only one other being has every experience, and he is there now. Order, my evil brother is forever trapped there, suffering for eternity for what he did to my creation."

"You sent somebody there as a punishment? Nobody deserves that!"

Chaos smiled at Percy's outburst. In the back of his mind, Chaos knew Percy hadn't tried to just destroy half the universe, Percy was angry and could not control his powers yet. Chaos fixed it with a thought and decided not to tell Percy what he had just accidently done, training was soon to come.

"My dear boy, Order is everything evil about existence. I find it ironic that people call me Chaos and him Order. His original name Grothmog, while mine was Fingolfin. I represent order and he represents chaos, yet we have been called the very opposite of what we represent. Imagine all the pain, suffering, death, and guilt everybody who has ever lived had felt, and know it is because of Order. I think you will find that the void is the only worth punishment for one such as him."

"Alright so let me get this straight, I draw power form creation?"

"Yes you do."

"So if creation is all about light, do people like Hades and Tartarus draw power from the void since it is so dark?"

"No Percy none but you and I may draw power from the void. They draw power from darkness, but even though darkness is the absence of light, it is still a part of creation. Darkness and the void are totally different. Imagine the color dark brown representing darkness, while pure black representing the void." Chaos continued,

"Now enough about the void and darkness, time for you to begin your life here on Genesis. The army is without a leader as of now, but you will fill that role. There are six squads of my army, which is called the Angels of Chaos. Each squad represents the six fundamental aspects of creation: water, fire, air, earth, life, and death. You will now choose who will lead each squad and from there train with them."

Percy thought for a while, and after a few moments of thought had prepared his squad leaders.

"I choose Luke, son of Hermes, Silena, daughter of Aphrodite, Beckendorf, son of Hephaestus, Leo, son of Hephaestus, and Calypso, daughter of Atlas. Please choose yourself the last one for those are the only ones I wish to be at my side."

"Before I bring them here, you must choose a name that will be what the Angels call you."

Walking to the window, Percy thought about a name. He thought about staying Percy but wanted to forget that life, so deciding on a name her turned to Chaos and said,

"Allistar."
