Chapter 8: Awaken, Acquired Truths, Love
A/N: So it is with great enthusiasm that I say that I hope you all enjoyed Chapter 7. I would like to point out that I edited the seven previous chapters. And I have also been working on some other things as well. If you haven't already, re-look through my stories and you shall find two new additions. Please feel free to read them and leave a review over there. Both are strictly request based, so until someone else asks for a specific phobia or emotion for me to write a story about, they will not be updated. Now, I know that I do not update often, but I am trying. So please stay with me. In other news, last I checked, over 25,000 people have visited and/or looked at my fan-fiction as a whole, which I am thoroughly excited about. So if you all have any friends or family who enjoy Percy Jackson, point this fan-fiction out to them and see what they say. Anyway, enjoy Chapter 8 and I'll see you all at the end of this chapter! Oh and Happy Summer Solstice!

MP: You'll just have to wait with everyone else to see how Annabeth and Percy play out. And then the only problem with your suggestion is that the Primordials don't really seem to have a lot of detailed art portraying them whatsoever. It's actually kind of sad and I seriously think that it would have been pretty great for them to receive more credit within the books than what they got.
Guest: Yes I have. I leave those unanswered questions so people beg me for more. It's all part of a devious part to create myself an army. Buahahahaha!
In spoke: Thank you good sir/lady. I still have a lot of room to grow though.
devenfegans1234: Yes. In fact, I just updated as you can see. :D
godofspac3tim3: I'm glad you like the story, just don't fret. Things will come to pass in due time.
Zaralann: Interesting?

Chapter 7
Percy Point of View
It all happened in slow motion. The three before me launched their orbs at me, just as I was about to ask whom each of them were. And, as I stood there, I realized that I had just been unconscious and that I would be again quite shortly. It seemed like it had been forever, but finally, all three orbs hit me at once and my body erupted into pain all over. The hands of unconsciousness were way faster than the orbs had been and I was sinking into its arms fast. But before I could slip in completely, three names came into my mind and then I knew only the darkness that surrounded me. Nyx; Primordial of Night, Erebus; Primordial of Darkness and Shadow, and Physis; Primordial of Nature.
Now:
Chapter 8
Percy Point of View
I woke up, again, but this time, I was laying on a bed big enough for at least three people. The sheets I was currently laying under were silver and soft, like silk, while the pillow my head rested upon felt like it was made of air. Perhaps, a feather pillow? Anyway, for some reason there was a portion of the bed that was warm, as if someone had been laying with me. (A/N: *Unnecessary cough*) Weird. I wonder why it was warm…unless, someone were to have laid with me as I slept. But, considering where I thought I was, who would be creepy enough to lay with me when they barely knew me? If at all?
I had the strangest feeling that someone was sulking away somewhere for that last comment.
Anyway, sitting up, I made the discovery that the pillows were silver and the pillow next to mine still had an indent in it. Obviously someone had been laying with me, but who? I knew I would find out eventually, so it didn't matter to me in that moment. What did matter was the fact that I had been sleeping for an unknown amount of time while Annabeth and Nihil were off completing the quest without me.
Though, now that I think about it, every time I thought of Nihil, I had this ominous feeling that something bad happened to him. I would ask Moros about it later. But for now, I needed to find some clothes because for some odd reason, I was only in my boxers underneath the sheets. Oh how I hope that whoever laid with me while I slept didn't do anything to me. I've always been a pretty heavy sleeper.
Luckily for me, it seemed that someone had already thought of my need for clothing because beside the bed sat a chair. And on that very chair, laid a change of clothes for me. I hadn't really been paying attention to my surroundings, but now that I was, I couldn't help but let out a little gasp of surprise. The room looked just like the cabin from Montauk, although, the dust wasn't here. The usual combination of sand and spiders were not even present within the sheets or the cabinets, although, there were not any cabinets to speak of within the room.
Getting out of the bed, I discovered that the clothes laid out for me were fairly nice. The clothes, consisting of a pair of blue sweatpants and a skin-tight t-shirt, where clean and still warm. Not warm like someone just took it off to change into something else, but rather warm as in fresh-out-of-the-dryer warm. The clothing even smelled like the morning dew that lays itself upon the meadow early in the morning. I found it to be a very calm and soothing scent.
Minutes later, I was dressed and wide awake after splashing some water onto my face and brushing my teeth. Standing on the threshold of the bathroom door, I took in the magnitude of the bathroom that I found myself in. It looked like an expanded version of the cabin in Montauk, only with a more expensive taste. The bathroom was a testament of that, with its marble sink countertop combination and polished white floors. The step in shower had settings on the shower head to determine the strength of the water pressure for crying out loud! I had never experienced anything close to this level of luxury and I couldn't believe that this was how the richest of people and gods lived like every day.
Looking back into the room, I noticed for the first time, that there was a floor to ceiling window overlooking a beautiful city. It was nothing like New York City at its finest. This city was in a world of its own. Several of the buildings stood taller than any building that man-kind has built, piercing far above the clouds and well into the sky, giving a new meaning to the name skyscraper. The noises of the city were nearly non-existent, other than the sounds of everyday life. There was no humming of vehicles driving up and down the street, nor the sounds of honking or muffled angry yells from driver to driver. I could not hear any aircraft passing by overhead. Only the sounds of millions of voices speaking to one another, all experiencing different emotions, all muffled together into one giant smelting pot.
A knock came at the door and I found myself at the window, hands in my pockets and facing out at the city all around me. The door opened without the slightest of sounds, just a breeze…a slight draft could be felt. No one said anything, nor did I hear footsteps. I only heard the soft click of the door closing and a vague sense of someone coming up behind me. A hand suddenly rested itself on my left shoulder, startling me despite my senses telling me of the room's new inhabitant. A faint image of its owner reflected back out into the empty room, showing me Erebus.
"It's a beautiful city, is it not?" He asked, awe evident in his voice.
"Yes it is, it's absolutely magnificent." I answered, still staring upon the sparkling city.
"I come here often on business, but it never ceases to amaze me. Does the layout of this city remind you of anywhere?" Erebus asked me with a smugness to his tone.
"Now that you mention it, yeah, it does." I said.
We both spoke at the same time, saying exactly the same thing, "New York City."
"I still remember the days where I would whisper into the ears of the architects that built that city, trying to replicate this very city." Erebus spoke, softly.
"A city as beautiful as this cannot hope to be replicated." I said back, still looking out the window.
"I already knew that. My only goal in doing what I did was to give humanity something as vast and beautiful as this city. I succeeded, in a sense, did I not?" Erebus asked.
Erebus was right. Thinking of my home town brought me a sense of homesickness, but it also brought me a sense of awe. I could still picture the buildings that made up New York City. It may be filthy and ready to explode, but there was something about the city. It was a smelting pot of all kinds of cultures and people, yet it wasn't the variety that made it unique. I had no idea what made my city unique or, at least, I couldn't quite put it into words.
"Time to go see a few people." Erebus said, leading the way out of the room through the only entrance and exit.
Of course, with no other options, I followed him as he briskly strode out the room and out into the hallway. As soon as I was in the hallway, I closed the door behind me and looked to my right. I was met with the sight of Erebus several yards ahead of me already and gaining ground quickly. I had to jog after him to catch up, doing just that as he reached an intersection of two hallways. The Ruler of Darkness barely acknowledged that I had caught up to him before he turned left and continued at his brisk pace. It was all that I could do to keep up with him considering his long legs.
"Where are we going? Who are we seeing?" I asked, eager to see some familiar faces.
Erebus did not speak a single word, but rather, he reached out to the doorknob that belonged to the door we had stopped in front of. Obviously, I had not noticed this due to my prying. The door before us was huge, made of a wood that I had never seen before. The door had to have been made by hand, its details too intricate to have been produced by a machine.
As the massive door finally finished swinging open, I took in a breath of awe. The room was equally as massive as the door that blocked it off from the hallway behind me. On each side, perpendicular to the threshold of the door and each other, stood massive Greek-styled columns. Each column held up a massive, yet low hanging ceiling that led to a massive domed ceiling. On either side, just behind the columns, stood a massive fabric painting that was full of life.
The images woven into the fabric were dancing, playing different images. The one closest to the corner on my left showed pitch black for the longest time before, finally, an explosion rippled through it, bringing hundreds of dots. Each one varied in size and color and moved out of the image as quickly as possible. It reminded me of a slide show on a PowerPoint presentation, however, these were things that happened way before anything else. This section of the tapestry was showing the beginning of the universe.
"That was the day that my domain had come into existence." came an all-too-familiar voice.
Turning around, I was met with the image of someone I had not been expecting to see again anytime soon. It was the woman from the field trip! And I am not talking about Mrs. Dodds. No, I'm talking about that 6' woman with the hair that was dark enough to make even the darkest of nights look bright. The woman looked to be wearing the same pitch-black dress that I had seen her in the first time. However, this dress had no straps and flowed beautifully over her curves.
Now is not the time Perseus…I thought to myself, hoping that the woman before me would not be reading my mind at this exact moment.
Anyway, her feet were bear, supporting the rest of her body against the cool marble tiled floor. But it was not the dress that had truly caught my attention. What really caught my attention was her face; a detail that I had not been able to quite make out the last time we had encountered each other. This woman that stood before me now was truly stunning and I knew that she knew it, deep down. Her beauty knew no bounds all the way from her feet to the highest point of her head. The woman's jaw looked as if it had been elegantly carved from stone, down to the smallest of details. It looked wonderfully feminine and led up to a pair of small, rounded ears and a succulent pair of soft, luscious pink lips. But perhaps the most striking thing of all, her eyes. They were like the universe, ever changing and growing faster than I could ever care to imagine. There were small orbs of white moving about quickly within those breathtaking eyes that shown with something that I couldn't quite place my finger on.
"H-hi." I squeaked out, mortified by the sound that just came out of my mouth.
A smirk was my initial response before she spoke, "Hello, Percy."
Line Break
After our initial greetings, the woman had explained how the tapestry was constantly growing, weaving the events of history into one giant piece of art. Even the events in this very room was being sewn into the fabric of this tapestry. Now, a few minutes later, I sat in a simple chair, surrounded by several 30' beings. Immediately in front of me, sat the woman that I had been brought to meet. The one that had been staring at me as a 6' woman on the streets of New York.
The thrones were arranged in a massive U-shape, encompassing me from my left and right. To my immediate right sat a man with a mage outfit, a staff in hand with a clock proudly resting atop the beautiful wood staff. His face was somewhat blurry, constantly shifting to a babyish face to a face that spoke of countless years of a life full of laughter, tears and blank stares. To my left, sat a woman in a blue-green knee-length skirt with a red blouse. She held what looked like a crystal ball atop her hand, balanced there and unmoving despite the angle that her hand sat.
To the right of the mage and to the left of the crystal baller, sat other beings all of the same height. All were wearing a variety of clothes, all different colors compared to each other pairing. All of these beings must be sitting with whomever they share a domain with or maybe whomever they are with as a couple. But how they sat did not truly matter. What matters in this moment is why I am here.
"The Council is now in session. Let it be recognized that Perseus Theodore Jackson is present within our chambers." boomed the woman whose name I still did not know.
A massive flash of light erupted suddenly into the already bright room, followed by a group of laughter that all sounded eerily the same. The flash went away as quickly as it had come, providing me with the source of it. Before me, stood three women, all red-headed and slender. Each of the three women before me had their backs to me, facing the woman who had called out my name moments before. This being said, I was treated with a view of their asses, each being round and plump in tight-fitting jeans. But this was not the time to ogle, so I returned my attention to other details. One such being that all three of the women before me were equal in height, hair-length and skin tone. All of three of their skin tones were so pale that it could only be from spending all of the time they had inside a cave or another form of indoors.
Another detail would be that, along with the tight-fitting jeans mentioned earlier, the three women before me all wore pink blouses with unknown cuts. These women were even barefoot! Not a single speck of dust on any single square inch of their visible skin, no blemish or imperfection within the visible parts of their bodies. These women before me were one of many living examples of being an immortal being. But that did not matter one bit at this moment. What really mattered was what I was about to see, hear and learn today. Albeit, I didn't really know that until much, much later.
Line Break
It is when we learn the most shocking truths, the ones that unearth massive tombs and untold riches, that we experience shock. We experience a brief period of detachment to the outside world around us. And it is during these moments that we feel disbelief as we try to grasp the scene before us, or in my case, the words spoken to me. The meeting was well underway and I could only sit and listen as these massive beings and three women in front of me, spoke of me as if I wasn't even in this massive throne room. It was kind of insulting, but on the other side of the spectrum, it was also pretty entertaining. I definitely learned a lot from everything I heard.
The first thing that I had learned was perhaps the worst out of everything. Nihil had fallen in battle, just like someone else before him. But when I prompted an answer to that question, no one in the room indulged me with the secret. My only response had been the uncomfortable shifting of several of the 30' beings. He had apparently fallen to beings called Erasers. These beings, when they came into contact with anything, would literally erase it from existence.
The second thing that I learned was that I was technically immortal. Now that I was the champion of five Primordials, I was given a convoluted form of immortality. The overall gist of it was that since my mortal body couldn't handle that much power, I was just barely made immortal so that I wouldn't burn up. But, somehow, I could still age…up until my body reaches its prime. Albeit, I can no longer fall ill to disease. But, back on the other hand, I can still die in battle.
Then, the third and final fact that I learned in the first part of the meeting. The most shocking of them all. I learned the name of the woman that had warned me about Mrs. Dodds during the field trip. It felt like that had happened several ages ago and in some ways, maybe it had. Now, here is the thing about names. In the mortal world, names are meaningless. They are meant to trigger a response, a memory of a specific person or place and, in some cases, a thing. But, none of those names…none of those labels really mean anything unless it's the name of a person. Although, even then, it's only a name. Then, there is the world I find myself in now, where names hold untold amounts of power. Names have the potential to bring forth untold amounts of pain and sorrow…or, they can bring forth just as much prosperity and joy.
I found myself in that second category just before I passed out from hearing that woman of unearthly beauty finally say, "My name is…Chaos."
Moments Later
"…waking up." Came a voice as I ascended the surrounding pool of unconsciousness.
Bright, painful lights reached my eyes as a throbbing pain repeated its rhythm throughout the back of my head. At first, I had to squint in order to deal with the pain the brightness of the room caused me. But slowly, I was able to open them wider and wider, turning those vague shapes above me into humanistic shadows. While this took place, I could feel my head being lifted and placed into someone's lap. I couldn't quite tell whose lap it was yet, but I could at least tell that the person was female. Unless one of the other males in the room quickly grew out their hair.
A hand began to run itself through my hair, comforting me.
"Percy? Are you okay?"
It was her voice. It was Chaos' voice, as beautiful as it always has been. By this time, I could open my eyes almost completely and I could make out some details. And, as it turned out, just enough details to realize that my head was in Chaos' lap. I also realized that she was running her hand through my hair, petting me. I lay for a few moments, closing my eyes so that I could fully appreciate the events that were unfolding around me. For a little while, the throne room was quite, not a sound being made besides our breathing.
"Ahem!" came the unwanted interruption.
Opening my eyes and craning my neck forward, I was met with the sight of an audience that I never suspected to remain. As a result of this realization, my face began to heat up in embarrassment. Here I was, being petted like a dog, in front of these super ancient and powerful beings. Although, the weirdest part about all of this was that I was being petted by their mother/grandmother…who had a not-so-hidden-crush on me. To be fair though, I had a not-hidden-crush on her as well.
"Shall we continue with this meeting, Grandmother?" asked Clotho.
Looking back up at Chaos, I found that her eyes had never left the spot they had been looking at, providing me with a feeling of elation. Those galaxy eyes of hers shown with worry. Concern flooded out of those beautiful eyes like Niagara Falls. It is because of this very reason that I found myself already knowing what she would say before she said it.
"I think that we have provided him with enough information for one day," Chaos said with a matter-of-fact tone, before continuing, "The Council is adjourned for the time being."
Her words were met with a series of nods before her children left, some in pairs, while others left one by one. It didn't take long for the only ones left to be her grandchildren, who shared a look with her longer than her children did. No one said anything, just stared intently into each other's eyes. Meanwhile, during this, I was beginning to feel like I was watching some sort of silent tennis match, kind of like a silent film. But, like everything else, it finally came to an end.
Once the three sisters of Fate left, the only ones remaining within the room were Chaos and I. In this moment, I realized that my head was still in her lap and she was still petting me, now gazing into my eyes. Neither of us said anything for some time. It was like we had already agreed long before this moment that we would need no words to communicate. Everything we wanted to say, everything we wanted the other to feel could be communicated to each other as we gazed.
"You know, you could spend an entire week here and only an hour would pass on Earth." Chaos said, starting a conversation that needed to be confronted.
"I only have three days to complete the quest…well, less than three days now, but you get the point." I said, beginning to worry about Annabeth.
"Annabeth will be fine. Right now, you must worry about the training ahead of you. If you don't get that done to the level that is demanded of you, in the time we have, you will be the only one left on this quest. But luckily for you, Time is my son." Chaos assured me, a smile creeping onto her face as she finished speaking.
I couldn't help but smile back when she smiled at me like that.
"How about I show you my favorite view of the city?" Chaos asked, before continuing. "As I understand it, Erebus found you looking out of your window."
"I would be delighted to." I said, softly.
Moments later, I found myself getting up from Chaos' lap and sitting up. She, in turn, arose to her feet and held out her hand to help me up. I took reached out and took that hand as we both pulled me up. However, before I could stand fully, my weight pulled her down onto the ground along with me. Thus, finding myself in a situation where Chaos was on top of me, face inches away from my own. I could feel her warm breath upon my face. But that wasn't the only thing I could feel. I could feel every inch of our bodies pressing against one another. From the way our legs rubbed against one another, all the way to the way her breasts pressed against my chest. This feeling…this feeling of pure, unfiltered bliss was enough to leave very little to the imagination. And it was beginning to show itself to the world abroad, causing a hitched breath to escape from Chaos as it began to rub against her nether regions.
"I-I'm so sorry, Chaos. I-I didn't mean for this to happen, I swear!" I half stuttered, pleaded.
The only response that I received was what I thought to be a slight moan and a sudden, yet urgent kiss. Chaos kissed me with a passion that I had never known and would soon learn to love. The kiss told me a lot. It told me of things that I had never even thought of or really dreamed of. Yet, here I was, getting that exact passion that many could only ever dream of. In this situation, I could only respond in one way and that was to kiss back. So I did.
We kissed and kissed and kissed. And the more we did so, the less the outside world seemed to exist. We became wrapped up in our own little world, not even bothering to stop for a break. The softness of her lips, the passion of the kisses mixed in with a little tongue and the pressing of our bodies to one another was just too much. And, had I not needed to stop for air, I am sure that we would have gone all the way. But, I needed to breathe more often than she needed to and that was what stopped us from doing the deed.
With a somewhat mutual need between the two of us, we broke apart grudgingly, both of us gasping for breath. Neither of us spoke as we caught our breath and steadied our breathing. The only thing we could do was stare into each other's eyes, her galaxy eyes and my sea green ones. Several minutes of silence passed by with only the sounds of the two of us exhaling as we breathed. When we had finally regained our breaths, our first course of action was to repeat what we had just done. I can only say that those moments were going to be the best I had for a very long time.
Line Break (Roughly Three Hours Later)
Walking down the hall, hand in hand with Chaos, I recalled the feelings that came to me as my head rested in her lap. I could still feel her hand gliding through my hair, ruffling it up even further. Of course, neither of her hands were moving through my hair, but rather at her sides as we walked. And that's another thing. As we held hands, my heart raced ahead of us in the hall. I never knew something so innocent and simple, could feel so good. But then again, by that point, I hadn't even kissed her. Now that was something. Kissing Chaos was like being on Cloud Nine, only better. If only it never had to end, but an interruption from Order, her brother, reminded me that there were more pressing matters to attend to.
A sudden angelic chuckling broke me out of my reverie, booming down the hallway after my heart and accompanying the echoing sounds of our footsteps.
"What's so funny?" I asked Chaos, already dreading the answer to the rhetorical question.
"You." Chaos responded to me, completely serious, before breaking into another fit of beautiful laughter.
Rather than joining her laughing, I made a point to pout.
"It's not fair to read my mind." I said, sticking out my tongue at her after words.
She only stuck her tongue out at me in response, continuing to walk forward silently. We continued doing this for several minutes, just walking and holding hands. I lost track of all of the turns and twists we took after a little while. Eventually though, we ended up on a balcony that was overlooking a beautiful park right in the middle of this massive city. Looking down, I could pick out what looked like hundreds upon hundreds of tiny ants going in and out of the park.
"Can Lord Chronos really slow down time for me?" I asked, referring to what would happen during my training.
"He can and he will. Here, twelve days equals one hour on earth. Imagine when he slows down time for you in the training room. I have no idea what difference he has in mind, but I made sure that it will be drastic." Chaos explained.
"It surely will be drastic." Came the voice of an elderly man from behind.
Turning around, I was met with the sight of a man who looked to be about eighty in pure white wizard garbs. The man was holding a staff with an hourglass sitting atop. Looking closer at his face, I could see that he was tired. This man before me looked like he had lived a long, stressful life that never seemed to stop throwing pain at him. This man, who held as many smile lines as wrinkles, was the one and only Chronos; Lord of Time.
"How much of a difference will there be?" I asked, my curiosity beginning to snowball.
"I was thinking that one year here would be one hour on Earth. Is that drastic enough, mother?" Chronos asked, turning towards Chaos as he spoke.
"That should be good enough. Percy can stay here for a total of four years, four hours on Earth. That will give him adequate time to make his gifted abilities feel like the second nature." Chaos stated, before continuing and addressing Percy.
"We'll have Pontus and Hydros train you to use the powers you were born with."
"Sounds good." I said, eager to begin.
"That's great and all, young Perseus, but for now, relax." Chronos ordered, before disappearing just as quickly as he had arrived.
"Are you hungry, Percy?" Chaos asked, softly.
I couldn't help but smile softly. Her voice really was angelic.
"I'm ravished."
Line Break
Despite the fact that I knew I probably shouldn't have, I had eaten dinner with Chaos in a restaurant that she loved. The name and place of the restaurant were already lost to me. However, my taste buds could still taste the godly food that I had eaten. There were no words for the food I had eaten and nor were there any similar dishes on Earth. The only thing that I can tell you is that it was literally a piece of heaven with every bite. It was just insanely delicious and even then, my description did not do it justice. But that was then and this is now.
With that in mind, I found myself in a room that was at least twice the size of the throne room. The floor appeared to be made of mahogany, unlike the majority of the floors throughout the castle. As for the walls, they were apparently made of the whitest quartz I had ever seen. Although, to be fair, I had never seen quartz until this exact moment. The only noteworthy thing in the room was the massive pillar standing directing in the center of the vast room, supporting the domed ceiling far above.
I was standing only in the threshold of the doorway, unmoving and only staring at the room, unsure of what to do. I was sent here ahead of Chronos and a few other Primordials. Chaos had warned me that training would not be easy. As I walked over to the pillar in the center of the room and sat down, I was finally beginning to see just what exactly laid ahead of me. I wrapped my arms around my legs, doing nothing more than staring at my outfit. I was wearing a blue pair of shorts with a pair of blue sneakers with white trimming. My shirt was white cotton, perfect for absorbing my sweat when the time comes.
Given the fact that I appeared to have some time on my hands, I began to think back to earlier that day. When Chaos and I had been making out, it had been getting pretty steamy quite quickly. Our arms had been wrapped around one another tightly, unwilling to let go of the other. I could still feel and remember the way her soft, luscious lips had felt against mine. I could still feel our tongues battling one another for dominance within the confines of our mouths. It was an amazing feeling that was only rivaled by the sheer jolt of pleasure I felt when I let her win. Within the short span of only a few moments, Chaos had found every nook and cranny within my mouth and explored it all, leaving me to want and crave more.
"Ahem." Came the sound of someone clearing their throat.
Looking up at the door, which I had closed, I found that it was now opened by none other than the Primordial of Time himself, Chronos. I could only watch in silence as he walked through the threshold, followed by several more Primordials. Once all of them had walked through the door, I couldn't help but gulp. I had only thought that it would be one or two at a time. But, despite the fact that I was currently sitting, I was stood corrected.
Standing before me there was not one, not two or even three, but six total Primordials. To the left of the door was Moros; Primordial God of Doom, Destiny and Darkness, Ananke; Primordial Goddess of Destiny and Fate, and Nyx; Primordial Goddess of Night. Then, to the right of the door was Erebus; Primordial God of Darkness and Shadow, Physis; Primordial Goddess of Nature, and Chronos; Primordial God of Time.
"I am so fucked."
A/N: Hey everyone, I'm sorry that it took so long to update. I'm also sorry for all the jumps in this chapter, it was just convenient for the story to unfold. Anyway, I've been pretty busy, what with being a senior in high school now and everything. Part of the reason it took me so long is that I also decided that I should not update until I had at least two other chapters completed, not counting this one. So, for now on, I will only update when I have finished another chapter, that way I always have two in reserve in case something major comes up and I can't write for the foreseeable future. But don't worry, I'll be in everyone's hair for quite some time. See you all next time on, Perseus Jackson: The Lord of All!
And just for the information and general education of the internet, there is a difference between Chronos and Kronos. Chronos is the Primordial of Time, while Kronos is the Titan of Time. Two very different beings. I mean, this should be evident in the canon series. Kronos is a complete asshole. Now please, please be aware of this crucial difference.
What's gained from each Primordial blessing (suggestions should be put in your review, I read them all):
Moros - Primordial God of Doom, Destiny, Destruction
In General:
The blessing loosens the Fates and Ananke's ability to influence Percy's Fate. Not only that, but increased agility, strength (physical and mental), speed and stamina.
Abilities:
Killing Intent - This ability is exactly as it says. The people/monsters/gods/goddesses that feel this will usually feel fear, hopelessness, attraction/arousal (the masochists anyway) and their impending doom.
Accepted Truth - This ability causes the person it is aimed at to feel that inescapable feeling some feel in the face of death. That immovable feeling of peace and acceptance. This feeling of acceptance is enough to render the receiver immobile, unmoving. Giving the user enough time to finish him/her off.
Ananke - Primordial Goddess of Destiny, Fate
In General:
The blessing loosens the Fates and her own ability to influence Percy's Fate. Like Moros' blessing, Ananke's increases Percy's speed, agility, strength (physically and mentally) and stamina.
Abilities:
Blunt Truth - This ability allows Percy to see the Fate of someone or something like he's watching a movie. He may use this at times to give a person or creature spoilers on their Fate. Like, how they'll die or who they'll end up with, etc.
Altered Fate - This ability can only be used once per person. It allows Percy to change one thing in a person's life, not including when they die. What he could change would include how they die, who they end up with, whether they were born male or female, etc. without consequences involved.
Nyx – Primordial Goddess of Night
In General:
The blessing, like that of the others, loosens the ability of the Fates to influence his fate. Percy is also capable of seeing at night as if he were looking through night vision goggles. His eyes adjust to this form of vision automatically.
Abilities:
Night Call – This ability allows for Percy to know what night creatures and how many are around him within a three mile radius.
Erebus – Primordial God of Darkness, Shadow
In General:
The blessing adds another layer of protection from the Fates ability to influence Percy's fate.
Abilities:
Shadow Travel – This ability is exactly like that of the form of travel Nico uses in the canon series.
Dark Intrusion – Allows Percy to literally become a shadow and penetrate through the barriers of his enemies mind, effectively reading their mind and leeching out any sensitive information he may need.
Physis – Primordial God of Nature
In General:
The blessing adds another layer of protection from the Fates ability to influence Percy's fate.
Abilities:
Tree Travel – Allows for Percy to do walk through trees, traveling through plants to get to his destination.
Plant-Aids – Percy can use plants to fight his opponents, like the magic Grover uses within the series. It can also be willed to bring him medical herbs or edible plants.
