Hey guys! Thanks for all the reviews last chapter. Also, I'm just gonna give a general thing. Here we go. I apologize about the terrible spelling last chapter. I had to write the majority of that all on Saturday night because of various personal reasons. So I was running on adrenaline, and it started running think at the end. And I was being kinda careless with my spelling, wanting to get the chapter out for you guys. So I apologize again. That's for all the hecklers. :) Not everyone heckled, but I decided to address the hecklers. Thanks to those of you that didn't heckle me! And I didn't mind the heckling. (That's a fun word, heckle. In all forms.) ;) Anyways, my poll is still up if anyone still wants to vote! :) I also have a lot of other stories that you can read if you're bored and have free time! I own nothing, but please enjoy this chapter! :)

Percy's POV

We kept rising higher until we reached what could only be Chaos' palace. And it out the view of Earth to shame.

Right in front of us was a mountain, rising high into the sky. Around the middle was a ring of mist hanging in the air, borderlining on fog. On each side of the fog barrier, building could be seen hugging the mountain. It looked like a village was sitting on the mountain side!

Chaos grinned at the stunned expressions on everyone's face, especially when their Sun rose up from the peak of the mountain, lighting everything with its soft rays. The most sparkled in the dawn's light, making everything look like something out of a fantasy book. Right when the hero(s) make their way to the enchanted land that will inevitably become their beautiful second home.

"This was my first planet, and honestly my favorite. It's name is Fermoso Planeta, which is Beautiful Planet in Galician. However, the inhabitants of this planet usually prefer to simply call it Fermoso," Chaos informed us. He looked at the tall mountain standing in the midst of the others that looked like hills on comparison. Smiling to himself, he basked in its glory before turning back to us.

"This mountain is the oldest and tallest on this planet, and in all of the universe. It's name is Rocha Alta, also from Galician origin. It translates to Tall Rock. Many of the inhabitants live on Rocha Alta, which is where i also have my palace."

Zoë gasped. "You have a palace?" It shouldn't surprise us, seeing as how he's creator of the universe, but I don't think we fully comprehend his powers. Especially because we were both surprised to hear that he has a palace.

Chaos smiled down at her. "Of course. And, seeing as how I doubt we all want to climb the mountain to get to my palace, I can just flash us there. I figured you might want to take in the beautiful view. As well as learn some new things."

We all nodded in agreement before all holding hands again, letting Chaos teleport us into his palace. Immediately, I was stunned by the incredible decor.

The walls and ceiling were a rich wine red, while the floor was a creamy white marble. Chandeliers hung in intervals from the ceiling, intricate designs using crystals on each one. Tall candles in candle holders lined the walls, making the whole corridor look like something out of a Victorian castle or a fantasy book.

Chaos spread his arms wide. "This is the east wing of the palace. This is where, if I have important visitors, they stay. There's a dining hall, abeit a very fancy one, down the hall. You won't be staying here though."

Aether pouted. "What, we're not important to you?" He pretended to wipe tears from his eyes.

Chaos rolled his eyes at the immature primordial. "No, you're not." He paused for a second. "Especially because this hall is mainly for people that I want to impress, especially if they're hard to impress." He glanced at the four of us. "You've all been stuck in Tartarus for at least fifteen years. I doubt you have very high standards."

I gasped in mock offense. "That hurts. I, for one, have very high expectations."

Chaos rolled his eyes again. "Let's keep going on our tour."

We all held hands again and let Chaos teleport us to another corridor.

The walls and ceiling in this hallway were an evergreen color, with the floor a dark wood. On the ceiling, electric lights covered by a semi-sphere of opaque plastic glowed. They gave the corridor a cozy feel, unlike the extremely fancy east wing. Instead of large candles lining the walls, the green walls held small shelves with books and a small jar with a candle inside as a feeble light to illuminate the book covers. I saw Moby Dick, A Christmas Carol, and several other classics before my attention was snagged.

"This is the west wing!" Chaos announced. "This is where my average guests come to stay. This is where you four will be staying, so we'll be coming back to this corridor soon so I can show you your rooms."

Again, everyone nodded. We al started to join hands to teleport again, but I had a very important question to ask.

"Is there a dining hall in this wing too?"

Chaos (and everyone else, too, I think) rolled their eyes. "Yes, Perseus, there is a dining hall here."

Satisfied with the answer, I grabbed Zoë's hand and prepared to teleport.

The next room we arrived in had vaulted ceilings and large handing lights. The walls were mostly large glass windows, letting in the dawn sun. Where the windows connected were strips of wall painted a soft cream color. The floor was a slightly worn looking, light-colored wood, with a grand piano sitting off to the side.

Chaos grinned. "This is the front room. All that enter my palace (using normal means of travel), enter through this room first. At special occasions, this room serves as a grand ballroom."

We teleported again. This time, we were standing in a dark room instead of the brightly lit corridors and the sunshine-filled ballroom. The walls of this room were a dark gray, and the floor a black tile. There were no windows at all, hardly anything to give it a splash of color. The only thing that "brightened" up the room was a desk sitting in the middle of the floor.

The desk was a combination of purple and black swirls, with little lights moving across it that resembled shooting stars.

"This is my office," Chaos said. "If you need to find me, or if I need to speak with you, this is where you will come. However, you don't need to know its exact location just yet. If you need to see me, a servant will always be around to show you the way." He indicated to the desk in the middle of the room. "This is my desk. As you'll notice, there are no chairs. Usually whatever I need to show you will involve you standing, but if it doesn't, I can always create chairs."

We nodded. Pontus spoke up, however.

"If I may ask, why is it so dark in here?"

Chaos cocked his head sideways. "Well, there are no windows so no assassins can come try to dispose of me or anyone else in here. I've lost too many soldiers that way... I may usually be able to sense things, but given the right circumstances, I'm barely better than an Olympian. Also, the darkness works well if I want to hide. And if I want to show a video. It's good for several reasons, really."

Pontus nodded his head slightly. "That does make sense."

Chaos told us to all grab hands again. We teleported one last time, ending up in the west wing. Chaos took four keys out of his pocket and handed them out to each of us.

"I am now going to assign you to your rooms. Perseus, take room 5. Zoë, you're across the hall at room 6. Pontus, I'm putting you in room 3, and Aether gets room 4. The numbers are on the doors. Eventually, the numbers will temporarily fade into your names. If the decor inside is not to your liking, it can be changed with a simple thought." With that said, Chas disappeared.

I exchanged an uneasy glance with Zoë before turning towards my door and opening it. The walls were blue, the sheets bed green. My eyes skimmed over the room, taking everything in at once, before one thing registered in my brain. My eyes shot back to the bed, taking in the figure sitting on the edge. The person sitting there was supposed to be dead...

I gasped, barely realizing that I had dropped my key onto the green rug.

Hey guys! I'm going to school starting tomorrow (Thursday) so chapters might be a little shorter now. Hopefully not too much, but heads up! Thanks!
