A/N: DON'T KILL ME, PLEASE! I'm EXTREMELY sorry that I missed the update date. Everyone has things to do, I know, and I kinda regret not giving this the attention it deserved. Also, I might change the update date thingy to the 27th cause reasons. Um… well, as a Christmas gift to you guys, I was gonna put up a Christmas Special. It's gonna be centered around one couple, but which one, I haven't decided yet. Should it be Pertemis, which is Percy x Artemis, or Dramione, which is Draco x Hermione? Or should I do one at all? Lemme know in the reviews, yeah? Brilliant! Onto the chapter, then!

Disclaimer: I do not claim to own the work that I am basing this writing off of, thus disclaiming it. And as such, the people that wanna sue me, you have been countersued, disowned by your parents and killed. Sorry, but that's what happens when you wanna screw with me like that.


Chapter 10

Percy POV

Now now, it wasn't anyone I knew. I was 100% sure of that. Thing was, she radiated a similar to mine. Then she had the same hair and eye color as myself.

And the fact that she was standing next to my father only meant one thing – I had gotten a new half sister.

"What's your name?" I asked, stepping forward.

"I'm Myra. You are… Percy Jackson, right?" She asked timidly, seeming a bit intimidated.

"That I am, yeah." I looked over at my father, and he gave a slight nod, which confirmed my suspicions – Myra and I were actually related. "And I'm your older brother."

"Yay! I have a sibling now!" She looked like she was going to jump on me so I could be hugged, but she caught herself at the last second, and examined the rest of the crowd behind me. "Who are they…?"

"Well… Actually, lemme make this easier for you."

I looked at my dad, who nodded again. He called out, "Counselors, Stand against the wall. No fooling around, OK?"

Not wanting to anger one of The Big Three, they quickly lined up themselves up against the wall.

I stepped up next to her, and gestured to each group as I went along. "These two here are Hermes. Then it's Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus, Iris… yeah, Hecate, Apollo, the Hunters of Artemis – oh hey guys! – and then we have Hypnos, and I'm pretty sure you get the gist."

"Yeah, I do. Hey, everyone."

They all replied with some sort of "Hi!" back, and left the room.

When they all left the room, Poseidon walked up to me and game me a hug. "Percy, how are you?"

"Pretty well, all things considered." I turned to my sister. "How good are you with water?"

She responded by taking water from a nearby glass, turning it into an icicle and shooting it at me, before it melted into a puddle of water on the floor. I grinned at her, and manipulated it back into the glass it came from.

"Not bad, sis." I rubbed her head, messing up her hair, and she nudged my arm off.

"It's kinda sad, 'cause I've been training with Dad since I was 12, and in three years, I still haven't gotten as good as I've liked."

"No no no, Myra, it's perfectly fine. I wasn't able to do that since my… since after the Titan War, actually. So think about that, yeah? Anyways, you're my sister – it's kinda hard to not have the prodigy-ness run through your blood, huh?"

She smiled shyly at me. "Yeah, that's true."

"How old are you, Myra?"

"Oh, fifteen. I actually wasn't born until three or four years back. Dad bought an aging thingy from Hecate and made me 12, and I've been training since."

I gestured for her to follow me. "Ok, that's nice of Dad." I looked over to him. "Thanks, Dad, the cabin gets lonely at times."

"I'll be sure to send Tyson up every once in a while, OK?"

"Sure."

"Bye Daddy!"

"Bye, Mia."

"Bye, Dad." He disappeared, leaving the smell of Montauk Beach behind. "Well, Mia," I smiled when she blushed. "Let's get you settled in, yeah?"


"Sure."

"Brother! We have gotten an unexpected player on the field now!"

Tartarus closed his eyes, scanning over the camp. "Oh, the new girl of Poseidon?"

"Yeah, her. Is she going to –?"

"No, she's not. But she may prove to be a problem in the future."

"And we can't get rid of her without bringing attention to ourselves." Erebus cursed in Greek.

"Patience brother, we wait to strike. Patience, while taxing on the mind, is very rewarding to those who pass its test."

"You did not just quote a philosopher."

"I actually didn't." Tartarus replied thoughtfully. "It was a proverb I made off the top of my head. Brilliant, isn't it?"

"Brother, sometimes your actions worry me."

"They shouldn't. The one thing that should be worried about is how you are all but dwarfed in power by Nyx, your own wife. A bit sad, isn't it?"

"And do you not have a wife?"

"Not one that doesn't dwarf me in power, no. And I only have one. I am not Zeus."

"That is true, yes."

"Alright, we go now. I fear we need to be more discreet when we move next. Chaos may be getting on to us –"

"Which isn't good. Noted, brother. Shall we send out Omega again?"

"A risky move. We attack the other camp next."

"Waging a war on more than one front is never good, Tartarus." Erebus reasoned.

"When you think about it, it will become one front after a few more coordinated attacks."

"So you plan on overtaking one of the camps?"

"We cannot, it would be violation of the Ancient Laws, if you forget. Not only that, but the fact that it would immediately cause Chaos to banish us to the Void is more than enough reason to not follow through with that threat."

"Very well then. When shall the next attack take place?"

"When we've familiarized ourselves with Myra's – that is her name, is it not? – fighting style."

"She can be of but little consequence."

"Yet a powerful foe. Have you forgotten what happens when more than one spawn of the Big Three come together?"

Erebus grimaced. "No, I've remembered. If it is spawn of the same father, then they become as strong, if not stronger, than their father. If they are from two different fathers, then combined, they are still as strong as either of their fathers. But when you combine one of each…"

"Untold destruction. Decimation to anyone that comes in their way. Not even the strongest of the Big Three can slow them down. They have enough power to defeat a Titan –"

"But not enough to take down us Primordials." Tartarus nodded at his brother. "Next time, brother."

"Next time."

Chaos closed his eyes. "Yes…" he mused. "Percy will grow stronger, but it cannot be done without his death. I cannot arrange that, nor can it be premature. Perhaps… No, I swore to never fast forward time again." He smacked his fist against his throne.

"What to do now…" A knock. "Come in!" Chaos stayed in his throne, dusting off his already impeccable suit. A door appeared to his right, and it opened, revealing a person clothed in the same clothing of Ezio from Assassin's Creed. Brilliant outfit, it was. "Ahh, Alpha. What has occurred that graces me with your presence?"

"They've started moving. They plan to kill Percy soon."

"How soon is soon, Alpha?"

"I'm afraid, sir, in the next few weeks."

Chaos grimaced. "Then it's time for me to start meditating."

"Sir, if I may –?" Alpha hesitated.

"Yes, speak."

"You do know that you won't be able to transfer your full consciousness over to him?"

"Actually, I would be. Thing is, his brain would be fried to bits and he'd die, even if he was immortal. No one can handle the mind of the Creator other than the Creator himself."

"So you will be transferring only powers, or is there something else?"

"There isn't anything else I can give him other than my powers. Even so –"

"It's only a copy of your own, and decreased in power."

"But he'll increase it in due time, when the time comes, yes."

This genuinely surprised Alpha. "I'm sorry, Chaos?"

"Three fourths of my power is what he will get. He'll start off with one twenty-seventh of the power, and eventually gain the rest."

"Isn't it dangerous to give so much power to a mortal?"

Chaos finally opened his eyes. "Perseus Jackson will no longer be mortal, and will ascend beyond immortality in his quest to defeat Erebus and Tartarus."


A/N: I'd say this is one of the crappiest chapters I've written in a while. Nothing interesting in this chapter, and it's mostly just kinda filler to move things along, really. Or that's how I interpret it, at least. On a side note, my best mate on this site – other than my beta reader, that is – Vengeous, is close to finishing his second story about the Underland Chronicles, and also plans on doing a Christmas Special, as do I. Check out his stories, and tell him I sent you, OK? Brilliant! Now, I have a question for you all – Whaddya think Chaos means with his last statement? Reviews are appreciated, and I'd like to apologize yet again for the late update. Granted, it's not even that off, but I still apologize nonetheless. See you all next chapter, yeah?
Also, on a side note, thanks to Lord Nitro for beta-ing this chapter.
