Percy POV
Hehehe! We're flying through the night sky, towards Olympus.
Night sky? Hehehe! Reminds me of dear old Nyx!
Oh yeah! The Primordial Goddess of Night!
But the moon ruins it, don't you think?
Yeah. That reminds my of Arty. Pesky Olympian.
Just shut up for a second please!
The voices never leave me alone. They love to annoy me. They're driving me to insanity.
I look over at Nicole.
"They're back." Is all I say.
She gives me a worried look.
"Do we need to postpone the trip?" She asks.
I think about it.
What's there to think about?
Yeah! Let them see what they did to you!
You guys are actually right for once.
We're ALWAYS right!
You just don't want to admit it!
Shut up!
They laugh at me before going silent.
I sigh in relief. I finally get a moment of silence.
"Nightmare. We're almost there." Nicole says, bringing me out of my thoughts.
I just nod and speed up a little.
*On Olympus*
3rd POV
The Olympians are silent for once. They're all contemplating what Percy's return could mean.
All of them felt guilty for sending him down there, but they know that Percy will never forgive them.
They had called the camps to Olympus, but they haven't yet arrived.
No one notices the two figures, dressed in black, standing in the shadows.
"Unobservant as ever I see." A sly male voice says.
All of the Olympians shiver. That voice held mischief. That voice made you want to run and hide, lock your doors, hide everything you care about.
Seeing the Olympians reaction, both of the figures laugh. But one of the laughs sound like the laugh of a madman.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my throne room!" Zeus bellows angrily.
"You don't remember me Zeusy?" The male fakes sadness. "Oh well!" He suddenly starts giggling.
"Show yourselves!" Zeus demands.
"If you insist." The males voice echoes.
Two figures emerge from the shadows. One male and one female.
"Who are you!" Zeus demands again.
"My, my. So impatient." The male sighs.
Zeus glares at the figures.
"Very well. I am an old friend. You haven't seen me in a while. But-" the male figure was cutoff by the doors opening.
Both camps flooded into the throne room. When everyone notices the two unknown figures in the middle of the throne room, they stop.
"Oh! How wonderful, we have an audience!" The male figure claps his hands.
His female companion just laughs at his antics.
"It's nice to see you all again. You seem to be doing well." The male figure says.
A girl with blonde curly hair, steps forward. Annabeth Chase.
"What are you talking about? We have never met you before!" She says.
"Oh but you have, Annabeth Chase!" The male laughs.
Annabeth looks shocked.
"How do you know my name?" She whispers.
"I know a lot more than that, dearie!" He says. "I probably know more about you than anyone else! You used to know me just as well."
Athena gasps and starts shaking her head.
"No!" She whispers.
The male figure spins around to face her.
"Aha! I see you've figured it out!" He says excitedly.
"No! You're not him! He was a good person, you're a monster!" She shouts at him.
"Tartarus will do that to you, Dearie!" He giggles.
All of the Olympians gasp, figuring out who the male figure is.
"Percy?" Poseidon whispers.
The male figure stiffens, then turns to the Sea God. In seconds he was inches away from the God.
"DON'T call me that!" He hisses. "I stopped being Percy the moment you dropped me into Tartarus!"
Everyone gasps.
Percy races back to the female figures side.
"Now, would you like to see what you guys did to me?" He asks everyone.
No one wanted to see it, but everyone knew he would show them anyway.
He pulls his hood of and everyone gasps again.
He looked very different. His black hair looked like it was made of pure darkness. His eyes made everyone want to break down and cry. The shatters had multiplied.
Suddenly he starts giggling. Then full out laughing.
The female figure sighs and shakes her head.
"Nightmare, your madness is showing." She tells him quietly.
Nightmare immediately stiffens and goes quite. Everyone else watches in curiosity and fear.
He turns to her and hugs her. She returns the hug and pats his back soothingly.
"It's getting worse. Soon I'll be gone completely." He whispers in a broken voice.
"No! We'll find the cure! I'm not giving up on you!" The girl shouts.
"I'm scared." Is his only response.
No one says anything, afraid to interrupt the duo. Eventually they break apart. Nightmare clears his throat and turns back to everyone.
"Now everyone, you can call me Nightmare, or The Nightmare. It's what everyone calls me back home." He grins.
"Back home? But you only just got back." Athena asks confused.
"I thought you were the Goddess of Wisdom?" He smirks.
"But-But that's impossible!" She shouts at him.
"Nothing's impossible, Dearie!" He giggles.
This time, everyone can see the madness creeping into his eyes.
"What are you guys talking about?" Zeus demands.
Nightmare turns to the King of the Gods.
"Why about my home of course!" He responds.
"Where do you live?" Poseidon asks.
"Tartarus!" He giggles again.
No one says anything, they're all to shocked.
"W-What do you mean?" Zeus asks shakily.
Nightmare sighs.
"I mean that I live in Tartarus. It's my home now!" He says happily.
