jaylene. olebar. 3: hey it is me please hear my prayers! PLEASE UPDATE HAVE BEEN WAITING!
sorry for shouting / Update is here.

The Titan of Despair: Sorry for not reviewing as much recently, but I had to catch up on Confused By Time, and it was well worth it. Congratulations as well, as I've noticed the fan base has skyrocketed in size, and I definitely see why, you're still one of the few authors, that I know that doesn't mind leaving the mainstream ideas and pairings alone, and establishes their own.
P.S- Still a huge fan.
Keep up the great work,
The Titan of Despair / Despair! Yes! I've missed you :). Thanks :). Coming from one of my longest readers, that definitely means a lot.

I love it: It's so awesome! Can you please please post the next chapter*puppy eyes* / I've finished it, so I'm posting it.

Guest: ... this cliff hanger doe! ...im actually physically and mentally died at the end of this!HOW COULD YOU DO THIS I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS GOOD SIR AND OR MISS!(what ever you prefer) whyuyyyyyyy I spent most of my English lecture reading this so you better update of I will... STROKE MENACING POSSESS AT YOU! MWAHAHHAHAHAHAH - luv luv from paboo / You really should be listening in your English lecture... but I appreciate it. Knowing that my story's better than an english lecture is good to know.

Ice queen: Please right the next chapter soon
You write awesomely / Thanks.

Omegasome: Eh... My guess was close enough. NOW it's time for Percy (LORD PERSEUS XD) to do something stupid! Give my regards to the titan king! This story is great!
Awsome12123 here! This is a different name so I can update my comment :P. Matt, get a life! Authors do the best they can! If you don't like this story, has MILLIONS MORE that you can read! How about you try and make a story? I'll be sure to hate on it xD.
Keep it up, dragonswoe! / Not quite yet, though that will happen.

KayChildOfHades: Okay, I have no words. None. It was that amazing. Just kidding! (Still amazing though) Okay, so the change in loyalties in Darren really made me think about why. Was it because of Percy being a titan or something while Poseidon was there with them? I don't know. Thats what I love about your writing. It really intensifies the plot and it really leaves you wondering: Who will actually win? But only a further advance in the plot can tell. :P your stories are great, and so it that new one too. Keep writing! ~ / Because Darren is the son of Poseidon, and his brother and father are both at Othrys, his fatal flaw of loyalty is gonna come into play (and because he's a son of Poseidon, that's Personal Loyalty).

Guest (chapter 20): AOT theme song plays / Hmm... it could.

Guest: Good shit / Thanks. I guess.

Guest (chapter 1): I would continue to read to it, cause honestly it was a great story up until I realised it was going to be a Kronos and Percy ship. and I really hate Kronos and Percy ships. But yea up until then it was great I think you should continue writing for those that like the ship cause again it was a great story / Well, of course I'm gonna continue writing it. I have done 52 chapters now, right? I'm not gonna stop.

Matt:
Sorry, I just couldn't hold in my hate for procrastinating writers like Hans50 who leave their stories unfinished, and had to flame something. Also I hope Percy has some friends when his secrets(he's a titan and in love with Kronos) are revealed considering all the horrid stuff that Kronos did to them, and the fact that he's a demented, pure evil(though can still love), being who wants to turn the world into a nightmare for all humans, demigods, and gods. / I'm not even gonna answer that one.

Well, that and three more things. 1. The sequel to the Goosebumps movie is so far away, 2. If the demigods and gods do defeat the titans then they'll have to face the P.G's(Primordial Gods) which would be like a minnow trying to fight a shark, and 3. I've got an annoying pet cat who always comes into my room, goes under my bed, and stays there for hours, and we can't let him out because of cars and coyotes that would either squash or eat him. Also I hope Percy see's that Kronos is evil and won't stop until everybody(immortal and mortal) who opposed him are wearing trash bags for clothes and being treated like slaves. / 1. Don't care. 2. That's the point *rolls eyes*. 3. Don't get why that's my business. Kronos may be a dick, but he's more likely to stop when the gods are all dead, not slaves. He might keep some as slaves, for the entertainment. And Percy knows that anyway.

Wow. That was so grim it would probably scare Edgar Allen Poe. Also Kronos is evil he ate his kids because he is and will always be a power hungry, psychotic, mass murderer who wants to bathe in the blood of his enemies and watch people suffer while loving Percy. / I think that's kinda obvious by now.

Also I've thought of a pairing which you could do Abiron and Darren. / yeah, not gonna happen. Abiron and Darren are both completely, and utterly straight.

Also it's not like Zeus the god of "Honor and Justice" would let the three who switched sides(Percy's brother(is Darren still Percy's brother even though Percy's a titan?) and the demi-titans) live when the war is over(not like the gods or titans side will survive against the primordial gods unless they team up which would happen when Thalia wears pink and Leo destroys Festus or in other words never). P.S. Is that majorly grim? I think Trump the dump winning so much is making me lose hope for the world. / That's basically the plot of the story you're asking for, so you're not gonna get it. And I don't care about American politics. If they want to vote for Trump, that's fine. I'll just avoid America for the rest of my life. I just had an idea... do you think Trump watches Attack on Titan? It probably gave him the idea for the wall.

^They were all Matt's^

Guest: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DONT END PLEASE UPDATE MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE / Whoa, okay!

Guest: What is with you and time? Confused by Time, Dawn of Time, what's next? / Dunno :). Whatever I want.

Kitsube: Ohhhh, Ouran is coming for Kronos! ...right? / Nah.

Cupcakeheart2005: I love this story..want a cookie?:) / Sure. Here's a cookie for you (::)

seaweedgirl1117: OMG! I LOVE this story! i just started reading it today and I have completely caught up! I love your writing. At first I hated the Percy/Kronos pairing but now I absolutely LOVE and adore it! an't wait for the next update! / Whoa, that's fast reading. Pernos is an awesome pairing that's completely underrated :)

pjoandhoo: Thanks a lot. (sarcasticly) You now have me screaming every time I see you update, and to the people who stopped reading because of the paring it's their loss because this story is one of my (and probably others to) favorite fanfiction stories of all time (that I've read). I am so excited to see what happens when Zeus finds out that Percy and Kronos have been dating. ;) :) !
I forgot to mention that King Percy was AWSOME! I can't wait to see more. / You're welcome :D. As for Zeus' reaction... hahaha, you'll have to wait and see. I loved writing that scene :). Percy would actually make a really good King too.

Guest: ass fun as it was to see them squirm i dont think i can keep that up" that part was awesomely funny cant wait to see what happens to kronos and i assume the exerpt refers to ouranous (if i spelled that right)
ps. i would sign in to reveiw but im on mobile and it wont stay signed in
pps. are you still writing lost son?
ppps. you are awesome :D
pppps. sorry for the long reveiw / The excerpt refers to a different Primordial. As for the Lost Son thing, I'll mention it at the bottom of the chapter. Thanks :)

Jaylene Olebar: OMGODS! ha! that was good and i like the part Darren stared up at Percy. "How can you be Percy Jackson?"
"I am not," "I am Lord Perseus, Titan King and Ruler of Natural Disasters and Healing."
"But… you're Percy Jackson!"
"I believe I just said I am no longer Percy Jackson. I lost my mortal surname upon becoming a Titan Lord. I am Percy to my friends, and Perseus to those who wish Kronos or I harm."
Darren shook his head. "What about father?" he asked finally.
those were my faverite parts in the chapter
oh and this was very good keep it up! /Thanks :). I think Percy would be a really good King, though we'll have to wait to see if Kronos agrees.

Rukario77: DANG! I loved Percy going all Titan Lord, that was pretty cool. Awesome chapter and can't wait for the next one! / Hhahaa, it was, wasn't it? King!Percy is awesome :).

percabethforever: I loved King Percy(or Queen ?)...please include him in some action scenes soon...i would like to see him use his powers...and where has erebus disappeared... Judging from the excerpt i have got a feeling he is going to make an appearance in the next chapter...but knowing your unpredictability i maybe wrong...
Hope u update soon:):) / King and Queen, I think :). Percy will have a fighting scene soon, one which he definitely deserves. You'll find out :).

Luminous Crystal: I loved this chapter, especially the part when Percy was just like, "I'm not Percy Jackson. I'm the Titan King" to Abiron, Zoe, and Darren. Please update soon! You're the best author on here, and I check every day to see if you update. :-) / Yup, Percy's achieved a new level of awesomeness. Thanks :).

Underworld Skylar: Cygosdyl (might've spelled that wrong but whatever) is planning to kill Kronos? That's just my guess, since he seems to be the main antagonist of the story. I love this story, it's perfect. There's the perfect amount of Character development and humour without it being overwhelming. Sometimes I forget I'm reading a fanfiction because it's written so well / Cysgodol. And you'll find out. Thanks :). Though I think I'll be sued from copyright if I tried to make this an actual story.

The open minded: Really cool and very well done the suspension is soo good x / Thanks :)

Blakely Evans: Ohhh! I love the plot twist with the twins and Darren. So, in this chapter Percy states he has no last name...what's going to happen to his mother? Will Percy have to say goodbye? / This is 3 centuries after BoO. If Sally is still alive, then she's going pretty well for a mortal.


Chapter 52 - No Killing

"I can't believe they deserted us!" Thalia exploded as she slammed the van's door shut.

"Thalia," Annabeth hissed, "shut up. We're here."

"I know," Thalia grumbled, glancing at the hotel which had a large neon sign reading 'ELPIS' HEARTH'. "I think that explains why Lady Hestia booked this place."

"Hope's Hearth," Annabeth said with a slight smile. "Come on, let's go in. We'll talk in there." She paused slightly. "Nico, can you check Kronos? Make sure he won't go anywhere during the night?"

"How do you think he'll do that?" Nico snorted. "You've got him tied up so he can't even move."

Annabeth shrugged. "Make sure all the lights are on. Then no one can shadow travel into the van."

Nico nodded slightly. "Sure. I'll do that," he said, his voice getting muffled as he entered the van.

Annabeth turned and entered the hotel, the other eight demigods behind her. The hotel was simple, but beautiful. It had an obviously Greek design, causing Annabeth to smile.

"Hello," the receptionist greeted with a bright smile. "My name is Elpis. I believe you are the ones Hestia sent to me?"

Annabeth's eyes widened. "You mean-"

"Hestia is always on my nerves," Elpis sighed. "Hope this, hope that. Hope is universal. It's everywhere." She paused briefly, but before any of them could speak she'd continued. "Now, you have the rooms three through to eight, but since you seem to be lacking three, room eight will no longer be available to your use. The Titan currently in your van will be perfectly safe through the night due to this being a completely safe and secured area."

"How do you know-" Thalia started.

"It's an honour to meet you, Lady Elpis," Annabeth greeted, bowing slightly to the Primordial.

Elpis rolled her eyes. "Hope is on everyone's side, Annabeth Chase. No matter how much Lady Hestia asks, I will not join Olympus, and nor will I help them. What interests me, however, is that Othrys is certainly not hopeless. No, instead it seems those in Othrys hold a lot of anger, and a lot of hope still." Elpis turned her attention back to Annabeth, her eyes having glazed over slightly while she spoke. "Now, that will be fifty drachma for the ten of you. Plus ten for the captive in your van."

"Why plus ten?" Thalia demanded. "Shouldn't it be plus one?"

"Holding captives in the grounds of my Hotel is bad for business, Thali Grace," Elpis snapped. "And Kronos is an old friend. My hotel is peaceful, and everyone leaves as they enter, but that does not mean I condone holding captives. Any captive costs ten extra drachma. Look at the board," she said, gesturing over her shoulder to the board behind her.

Annabeth blinked. "Right," she said, digging out the sixty drachma from her bag given to her by Hermes and piling it on the table.

"Excellent," Elpis said happily. "For an extra ten I will ensure that Kronos' hunter does not kill him."

"Hunter?" Annabeth asked sharply.

Elpis cocked her head to the side. "Ah, you didn't know."

"Know what?" Jason said anxiously.

"Erebus and Othrys are currently at war," Elpis said cheerfully. "He has heard Kronos is currently unable to defend himself and is approaching as we speak. Kronos will be killed by him within an hour."

"How long have they been fighting?" Annabeth asked, her mind racing.

"Four months. The war with Erebus started before the war with Olympus. I believe it started because Erebus attacked Kronos up north somewhere, I don't know the specifics, but I do know Kronos was nearly killed by him," the Primordial explained. "In fact, the reason he stopped moving when you punched him, Annabeth, is because you hit him where Erebus impaled him straight through. He would have died had the Titans not found him."

"That's…" Jason trailed off. "So, what you're saying is that Othrys is in the middle of a two-way war?"

"Erebus wishes to destroy Gaea. The Titans are taking up their old title of Protectors as they stop him," Elpis mused. "A new Golden Age may be on the horizon. Now," she said, her tone becoming more cheerful. "Another ten drachma please." Annabeth wordlessly handed them over. "Good. Take the elevator to the first floor. Your rooms should be simple to find."

The elevator was crowded with them all in it, and voices immediately erupted.

"Another Primordial?" Leo demanded. "Can't they wait their turns?"

"If that Primordial thinks he's gonna take Kronos he's gonna have me up his backside until he leaves," Thalia muttered to Annabeth.

Annabeth snorted. "Thals, you're a virgin."

"Not like that," Thalia said, looking absolutely disgusted at the thought.

"Everyone!" Annabeth exclaimed. "Shut up! Look, we'll tell the gods this when we return. For now, we'll have to stay up and make sure nothing happens in the night. We'll take turns on watch."

Nico sighed. "And here I was hoping I'd get to sleep."

"Nico and Will you'll take one room," Annabeth said pointedly. "Jason and Piper take one. Hazel and Frank. I'll go with Thalia, and Leo can go with Clarisse. I don't want anyone kept up, understand?"

Thalia snorted. "Why did you pair them all together then?"

"I don't think Leo and Clarisse will be doing anything," Annabeth muttered. "Darren, A…" she trailed off with a frown. "Right. They left with Krios."

"Good for nothing little-"

"Thalia, please don't say that," Annabeth sighed. "It was their choice. And can we please try to get Kronos back to Olympus alive?"

"It's not my fault he's a complete arsehole," Thalia grumbled.

"Yes, but that doesn't mean you have to take out Luke's death on him. Luke's death was as much of his own fault as it was Kronos'," Annabeth explained. "Don't try to shove as much of the blame onto Kronos as possible."

Thalia sighed. "I just hate him so much."

Annabeth nodded. "I hate him too. I just know that there's no point trying anything, because the gods will do that when we get him to Olympus."

Thalia frowned. "I guess so."

"Get some sleep," Annabeth said. "I'll stay up a little while and keep an eye on Kronos. Make sure nothing happens."

Thalia nodded. "All right. But wake me up after two hours or so, would you? We'll take turns."

Annabeth nodded. "Sure. Just make sure you get enough sleep."


Kronos scowled, trying to get the blindfold off him by rubbing it against his shoulder and hoping he'd be able to shake it off. He angrily clenched his jaw and tried to jerk his head away from the rope and door of the van, but the ropes that the irritating little virgin had tied were still tight. Annoyingly tight. Oh, how he longed to enter that Hotel – screw Elpis (not literally) and her rules of no fighting – and kill all of them. His scythe cutting through their necks like a hot knife through butter. Screw Perseus – also not literally – and his oath. The former demigod wouldn't back out now, he was too attached. Too weak with love.

He froze when he felt a soft warmth against his skin, and the blindfold was removed quickly followed by the gag. "Really," the Primordial sighed. "You're not going to get anywhere doing that."

"Elpis," Kronos greeted with a slight nod. "What brings you here to my… humble abode?"

Elpis snorted. "Cut it out, Kronos. How did this happen? I thought I told you to be careful! I don't go around getting information off Hestia about the plans of the gods just so you'd get yourself stuck anyway."

Kronos scowled at her. "The gods would not-"

"Ananke says you've been stupid. Completely stupid. Of the three possible futures left, you only survive one of them," Elpis stated. "As I said: completely stupid."

Kronos shrugged carelessly. "Your point? I believe my life is my own life. I can do what I wish with it."

"Stupid, stupid boy," Elpis snapped. "One of the three options has Perseus going completely and utterly insane – one of the ones you die in, actually. He becomes your replacement in the galaxy to balance out the order of things."

Kronos cocked his head to the side, shifting his body slightly in an attempt at getting some circulation back. "Out of curiosity, what happens after the events I have set into motion?"

Elpis snorted. "Oh, no. I'm not telling. You'll have to figure that out yourself. I'm done helping you." She paused briefly. "After I talk to Erebus, that is. I'll have to remind him that my hotel is specifically a no-killing area. Do you realise how much you've messed up the future? Ananke is... well, she's pissed, for lack of a better word."

Kronos smirked faintly. "I'm sure I'd realise if you tell me."

Elpis smiled sweetly. "Not a chance," she said, slipping some ambrosia into his mouth. "Though you'll need this." She put the gag and blindfold back. "My hotel is a no-killing zone. But it's not a no-visiting zone. So have fun with Erebus, Kronos."

Kronos' head snapped up towards her, his eyes widening behind the blindfold. He struggled against the ropes, desperately trying to get himself free as the warmth was sucked out of the van, letting him know that Elpis had gone. And he was at Erebus' mercy.


Elpis was scarily happy in the morning as she greeted the quest members. "This is for you," she said cheerfully, handing them five drachma and several lumps of ambrosia. "This, however, is not for you. You'll burn up having this. It's completely undiluted ambrosia, only for Primordials or children of them. You'll need it," she said calmly. "The drachmas are half of what you gave for Kronos. Since I did half of my job at protecting him in the night."

Annabeth's eyes widened. "What happened?" she demanded. "You said your hotel is a no-killing zone!"

"Exactly," Elpis said, sounding very pleased. "And he wasn't killed. He was, however, suitably punished for completely and utterly messing up the future by allowing himself to be captured. And Erebus was all too eager to do so on the behalf of the Primordial council."

Leo blinked. "There's a primordial council?"

Elpis sighed. "Yes, son of Hephaestus. And we attempt to ensure everything happens as it should. Some beings, however, forget that – for example, Kronos is a very common perpetrator of this – and they defy us. Any being is punished for doing so. So," she continued, pushing the ambrosia towards Annabeth, "you'll need this."

Annabeth wordlessly took the ambrosia. "When you say punished," she said carefully, "what – exactly – do you mean?"

Elpis just smiled. "I believe that's none of your concern, goddess. Now I suggest you go. You have a long journey ahead of you. And you may wish to be quick if you want to get Kronos to Olympus alive. And please, inform Hestia that if she bothers me once more I shall withdraw all hope from Olympus."

Annabeth tensed. "Of course, Lady Elpis."

"Now leave my hotel," Elpis ordered.

The quest members quickly scattered, none of them too eager to cause the Primordial's rage to be unleashed on Olympus.

Annabeth immediately made her way to the van which still held Kronos. "Will," she called, "I get the feeling you're going to be needed again."

Will nodded, saying a quick goodbye to Nico before scrambling after Annabeth into the van. "What – whoa," he breathed.

Behind him, Thalia peered into the van. "Damn. I should have done that before," she grumbled. "At least it seems to have shut him up."

Will glared at Thalia as he grabbed the ambrosia that Elpis had given them. "That's not very helpful. Him being unconscious is a lot worse than him speaking, especially because the majority of this ichor is dried," he said, putting his hand against the mesh separating them from Kronos before quickly recoiling, his hand slick with golden blood. "Yeah. Annabeth? Maybe you'd better start up the van. Find the fastest way back to Olympus."

Annabeth nodded in agreement, already starting the van. "We'll be there by tomorrow."


Percy crouched in front of Leander. "All right, stop," he said, his hand closing around Leander's small one. "Not like that," he said, shifting the kid's grip on the dagger he held. "Like this."

Leander peered up at him, giving him a toothy grin. "Thank you, daddy," he said cheerfully.

Percy smiled slightly. "Now, see if you can get Poseidon, all right?"

The god of the sea sighed. "Why did I agree to this?"

Percy shrugged. "I don't know. Someone had to though."

"Mommy," Leander said, tugging on Percy's arm.

Percy briefly frowned. "Daddy," he corrected.

"Mommy," Leander repeated firmly. "I feel the earth."

Percy blinked, glancing towards Poseidon. "You do? Good. Now try to trip Poseidon up."

Leander's eyebrows furrowed. "But that's mean."

Percy grinned. "I know. But I'm here, Lee. You have to learn somehow."

Leander lifted the dagger in his hand. "I thought I was learning how to fight," he said innocently. "Not how to trip someone up."

Percy snorted. "Sometimes tripping someone up can help you in a fight. It's dirty, but it works – Kronos is living proof of that."

"Father's dirty?" Leander asked, cocking his head to the side.

"Very dirty," Poseidon called, an amused smile on his face.

Percy frowned at Poseidon. "He didn't mean it like that, dad."

Poseidon laughed. "Oh, I know. But you can't deny that Kronos is dirty."

"He several billion years old," Percy said as he straightened up. "What do you expect? I'd have thought you'd be happy that he hasn't tried to… well, fuck me yet."

"Oh, I am," Poseidon nodded. "But nevertheless, it will happen. Kronos isn't known for his celibacy."

"I never said he was," Percy pointed out.

There was silence for several moments before a small voice asked, "Daddy? What's fuck?" as a hand tugged on Percy's arm.

Percy paled, looking to Poseidon for help. "Uh…"

"Is it bad?" Leander asked innocently.

Percy's mouth opened and closed before opening again. "Well, Leander. It depends… uh, on the circumstances."

"What is it? Would it be bad if father did it to you?"

"Yes, Percy," Poseidon mused, "would it be bad?"

Percy shot Poseidon a glare before turning back to Leander. "No, Leander, it wouldn't be bad."

Poseidon raised an eyebrow, but Percy avoided his gaze. "It wouldn't, would it?" Poseidon asked.

"Percy!" Luke yelled as he jogged into the demigods' arena. "You want to join us?"

Percy let out a sigh of relief. "Saved by the demigod," he stuck his tongue out at Poseidon before fleeing towards Luke. "Have fun with Leander, Dad!"

The last thing he heard before leaving the arena was Leander's innocent voice asking, "What is fuck?"

Luke shot him a questioning look, but Percy shook his head. "You don't want to know."


I thought a little Percy going through parenting troubles was needed. So here it is :).

Next chapter we'll get to what happened between Kronos and Erebus, and that'll be fun :D.

And I'm just gonna apologise for all the POV changes in this chapter.

Also, for those of you who are wondering what the Hades is happening with The Lost Son, I am absolutely going to finish it. Theron will have his adventure finished at some point. I'm just struggling to sort out the plot at the moment. And the story's going to end up being shorter than I had originally intended, but still. I will finish it.
