3rd Person's PoV
Percy and Annabeth didn't have enough time to mourn the sole King of the Universe.
He had to launch almost into battle right afterwards.
Chaos' fading would be something that everyone would feel just by listening to the universe. Like when they say that you should talk to the plants, the universe will tell you things if you're willing to listen. In Percy and Annabeth's sadness, they didn't listen.
They had managed to gather all of Chaos' army to deliver the news. Neither of them knew how that news would be received, but it was news that should be delivered, even when it were heart breaking.
"Soldiers of Chaos!" Percy raised his voice to speak to the crowd. Everyone turned silent, so they could listen to the son and daughter of their King, "I must be the bearer of terrible news-" His voice broke at the end. It was still an impossibility for him. Children do not wish for their parents to vanish from their existence. Parents are their heroes and seeing them fade away, literally in this case, robs some of the innocence left. For Percy, this Primordial risked everything for him, even when his own father turned his back to him.
"I'll do it, love..." Annabeth rubbed his back, comforting him. After a nod from Percy, she took the word, "I will probably sound emotionless, but that doesn't mean it affects me less... Chaos, our King, had faded away." Simple, quick and painless. Just because she spent little time with him didn't mean it didn't affect Annabeth. She was already resigned into being stuck in Elysium waiting for Percy when Chaos offered her a new chance,
"Which, leads us to some news that you all should be aware of. Chaos-"
Annabeth's voice was cut when a loud grumbling noise was heard. The army parted ways to allow three new entities to come forward to Percy and Annabeth. The three of them radiated power, most of it raw power. It was almost dangerous the amount of raw power these people had. They didn't have bodies, but unlike Chaos, they weren't made of darkness, and had on a cloak.
The first figure to the right, watching from Percy's perspective, was made entire out of water. Solidified, frozen, liquid and vaporized water were running through its veins, the muscles and every single pretended body part. Transparent like glass, the intentions of this entity were also defined: the mallet in his left hand said many things, loud and clear. He was wearing one of those ancient mid togas, only covering the lower half of his body.
The one to the left, was entirely different. He was compound by rock. Rock, sand, magma... anything that could be found on and below the earth's surface. Surprisingly, on top of what it looked like his head, two pointed horns showed off, giving the Christian Devil a new look. The rock that the magma ran around in, was falling off every second. He was wearing a full toga, with a spear in his right hand.
The last one, the one in the middle, was the one who exuded more power than the rest. His entity looked light but heavy at the same time. His figure was constantly changing and it took a few seconds for Annabeth to discover that he was feeding from the other two to have a body. He was supported on the smoke the dry ice and the magma created to have a solid figure. Or as solid as he could be. Wearing nothing more than a cloth over him, he rested his hand on a sword's hilt.
"Nice ceremony, blah, blah, blah..." The one on the left began talking, looking absolutely bored. "Can we please get to the part where you mention who is the new King of the Universe?"
"It's obviously that could not be Gaea..." The one by the right continued, looking absent minded "She's a girl... He wouldn't let a woman control the Universe... would he?"
"It's obvious that he'd let the control of the Universe on my shoulders then." The one in the middle stated, with what it looked like a satisfactory smile on him. "I'm married to Gaea."
"Yeah, and I had an affair with her behind your back. No, wait! You knew about it!" The guy on the left mocked the center one.
"If you continue to quarrel like that, I will start thinking he left the Universe to me." The two soon stopped quarreling and focused on the third guy. Neither of them paid attention to Percy and Annabeth though. They should have been.
"Pontus. Tartarus. Ouranos." Annabeth called, quickly realizing the connections between them. Those names triggered some memories in Percy. Chaos knew his 'children' would make an appearance, but he never would had believed that they wouldn't wait the mourning period.
"Welcome to Chaos' realm." Percy welcomed them, with a wary smile on him.
"Soon to be the ex-Chaos' realm." Ouranos chuckled, looking around.
"Now, we're here for something more important." Tartarus pushed Ouranos out of the way, making himself noticed.
"Yeah! Who's the new King?" Pontus piped into, smirking.
"Why who do you think is the new King?" Annabeth took the word, placing herself closer to Percy, using that smirk that would tell all 'I'm provoking you'. That made the three Primordial stop in their places.
"Gaea?! She'd never take the place!" Ouranos shouted, angry.
"That's only because she wouldn't pick you back after what you did to her!" Tartarus argued back with him, smirking.
"Would you two stop?!" Pontus stepped in, smirking.
"Well, we never said it'll be... her." Percy said, smugly. "The new King and Queen of the Universe are... us."
Metaphorically, Chaos exploded up!
Hello, guys!
First of all, I'd like to apologize for the long absence. Things have been hectic lately and I'd had to organize them before continuing with my writing. As I'm writing this, I'm trying to catch up with all the delay posting, but I'm pretty sure that I'll be back at regular pace by the end of the month. I beg your patience for it.
Which leads me to remind you all that, I have made a Facebook page for my A/N and any news/rants/explanations/thing I like to be posted there. I recommend you check it out, mainly for the A/N, as I won't be posting them here anymore. The page is written down:
Facebook: pg/SilverHuntresses/posts/
For this morning, I'm planning to update only three stories, can't remember how many chapters each: Mortals: Meet... 2, Percy Jackson, son of Chaos and Garden Wall. As I mentioned before, be patience with me. I'll probably update Urgent! Inspiration: Needed tomorrow and Wednesday (that was written on Monday, when I still had power on... Haven't had yesterday and today is as fast as I can update), with Mortals: Meet... the In-Laws next. Any chapters that are missing from Mortals: Meet... 2 will be post ASAP.
As I mentioned in a post on Facebook, Mortals: Meet... 2 is coming to an end. Although it was a pleasure and a privilege to write almost 200 chapters about Percy and his friends (and making up a few futures and two lovely spin-offs of my own), I'm running out of ideas, which is why I'm slowing my writing a little: I wanna supply the demand, but I don't have resources. Which is why I decided, with a heavy heart, that it won't be a third part.
Also, I'd like to let you know that, I wanna finish Urgent! Inspiration: Needed before focusing in another story. I realized I tried to handle more than I can take and I'm not as focus as I was at the beginning, as life takes unexpected turns. That being said, it doesn't mean I will be giving up my writing and my stories, as it means too much to me.
Maybe, I'll diversify myself into a new fandom...? Or random stories...? Who knows...
Please, check my Facebook page and I'll see you guys during the week.
Again, I apologize for the lateness and I appreciate your patience.
xoxo, Silver
