a/n. sorry about lack of uploading just had some stuff going on, hoping to have a more regular schedule now.

Chapter 7
I wake up at around midday to knocking at my door, I get up to see who it is and am shocked to see its Lady Persephone. I immediately kneel to the goddess and wait for permission to stand.
"You don't have to kneel before me Perseus we have been over this."
"I know milady but I must show my respect."
"You truly are a gentlemen Percy, I've just come by to tell you your mother and uncle are waiting for you."
"Thank you milady."
"Oh, and Percy."
"Yes Lady Persephone?"
"Please be careful, you had me and your uncle very worried there."
"Yes milady. I shall see you when I return home." After I had said my goodbye I headed towards my uncles throne room to meet Lady Hestia and my uncle, and for the first time I walk in on them having a peaceful conversation, as I'm about to speak my mother turns to me.
"We have to go Perseus, I've been here since 10 o'clock, I understand you're hurt but you shouldn't keep you mother waiting."
"I know mom I'm sorry, Hello uncle."
"Hello Perseus, I wish I could stay to see you off but I have stuff I must do." I hug my uncle goodbye and he whispers something in my ear.
"Good luck kid." I smile at this before letting my uncle go about his business, he begins to leave the throne room before he turns back to me.
"I almost forgot, Percy I would like to make you my champion. If I do this you will gain much greater power, having all the powers a child of mine would have, including that of summoning warriors of the dead to fight for you as well as the ability to command some undead creatures." To say I was taken aback is an understatement. I was completely lost for words.
"I…I would be honoured Lord Hades. Yes I would love to be your champion."
"I am glad to hear that my boy." As Hades approaches me I kneel before him, as he places his hand on my shoulder I feel a power I've never felt before, I feel so energised and ready. For those wondering, I already had Hades blessing, but he chose to limit the powers I would have until he believed I could control them all. Once the original wave of power started to feel normal, I embraced my uncle in a powerful hug, I think I even heard his ribs crack.
"Thank you uncle, I will represent you will honour and dignity."
"I know you will Perseus, why do you think I chose you."
"As lovely as this show of affection is, we must leave now Percy."
"Okay mom. I'm sorry." As Lady Hestia takes my hand we flash to camp, I am very confused when we appear some distance away from the camp boarder. Myself and Lady Hestia were in silence for a moment before Lady Hestia began to speak.
"I know you have grown quite fond of the daughter of Athena Percy." I'm slightly taken aback by this as I didn't really expect it to be the topic of conversation.
"What Annabeth? You have it wrong mom, Annabeth and I are just friends, no more."
"You shouldn't lie to your mother Perseus, but I understand why you won't admit it."
"There is nothing to admit mother, is that the reason you flashed us so far from camp? To question my emotional status?"
"Not the only reason, I wish to ask something of you. But before I do you must know it is beyond dangerous."
"What is it mother?"
"When you return to the underworld and train for a while, when you feel ready I wish for you to enter Tartarus. I have spoken with you uncle about this, although scared he understands." To say I'm surprised is an understatement.
"WHY IN UNCLES NAME DO YOU WISH FOR ME TO GO THERE?" I know I shouldn't have yelled but I'm hurt, it is possibly the most dangerous place ever, especially for demigods, and my mother still wishes to send me there.
"Please do not raise your voice with me Percy, I do not want to go to Tartarus, but your uncle and myself both fear you have to, it is the key to us uncovering your bloodline."
"What do you mean? We already know my bloodline, I'm the son of Poseidon and Sally Jackson."
"Yes you are. Do you remember what I said to you long ago about how your increased sense of smell and hearing are to do with your bloodline? Well I didn't mean Poseidon. There is something very special about the Jackson bloodline Percy, and you going to Tartarus could just answer what it is."
"I will do as you ask mother, once I have trained to a level worthy of entering Tartarus."
"Thank you Percy, I will be there with you every step of the way, and you still have time to prepare, don't worry."
"I'll try not to mom, I love you." I bring a tear to my mother's eye when I say this as it is the first time I have ever said this.
"I love you too my son." Lady Hestia embraces me in a powerful hug, reminding me of my current condition as the pain hits me. Just as we separate, I open my eyes to see we are at the camp border.
"Goodbye mother, I will see you soon."
"Sooner than you think young Perseus, please be careful."
"Always mother." I say in a sarcastic tone, causing my mother to roll her eyes before flashing away.
