Hey my readers! If you are reading this thank you! This is a fan fiction on The Heroes of Olympus. This story is based a couple months after the giant war and defeat of Gaea. I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Heroes of Olympus characters. That goes to the amazing author Rick Riordan. I only own Camilla, the plotline and other surprise side characters.

Chapter One: Camilla

I stared up at the dark misty abyss above me. Cold red stone pressed against my back. Tartarus. The Ari, physical forms of curses flew around me. This didnt worry me. I was a goddess. I was a princess of night herself. I had grown up in Tartarus.

I heard a loud scuffle below the large ledge that I was perched on. Loud voices made me get up and crawl over to the edge of the rock. Two giants stood. I recognised one of them. Polibities the anti Posidon stood bickering with a female giant. They both had scaly reptilian feet and dread lock hair. I strained to hear what they were talking about. But I was so high up that their whispers barely reached me.

"The Earth Mother." "you said..." "not in the name of.." all the fragments I caught of their conversation didnt make sense. So I leaned closer to the edge. Not smart on my part. Strong winds shoved me from behind. I lost grip.

I shrieked as I fell. The ground rushed up to meet me. But before I hit I used my powers. I shoved out my palms. Inky darkness spilling forth.

Hi my name is Camillianna. Call me Camilla. I am the daughter of Nyx. And I am the Goddess of shadows.

I caught myself literally inches away from the floor. my fingers tingled with power and adrenaline. I turned and used my shadows to place me softly on my feet. I breathed out a sigh of relief. Then dusted my pants off. To my right I saw Large scaly feet. The same to my left. I had just fallen in between two giants. I cursed under my breath.

The male giant stepped back and bent down so i could look straight into his poison colored green eyes. He grinned showing pointy yellow teeth.

"And what do we have here?"

I stared back defiantly.

"Excuse me I must be..." He cut me off and blocked my exit with his hand. His hand was as tall as I was! I took a small step back. Suddenly a light chill settled over me. I wished I had brought a jacket instead of just wearing my spaghetti strap tank top.

Then the female giant spoke. "What were you doing up there little girl? Were you eavesdropping? I would hope not." I heard the implied threat in her voice.

Little girl? Did she seriously just call me a little girl? I smiled. I probably shouldnt mess with giants. But I felt a retort at my lips and couldnt hold it back. "Well if I'm being honest yeah! I was eavesdropping on you two. Not that you interested me at all. No its just funny to see you guys back here. After all that big talk of ruling the world and all. Oh how did that work out for you again? Right..you utterly failed!" I started to laugh.

Both of the giants faces were red with anger. Polibities fists were clenched. He stood up to his full height and glared down at me.

Two months ago the giants had been defeated by a group of demigods. Their leader and mother Gaea, the goddess of the earth had been defeated by a demigod named Leo Valdez. He was a son of Hephastus. He had been killed in the destruction of Gaea.

This has been quite a sore subject for the giants recently. Especially since they had bragged for the longest time about how they were going to rule the world. It has been fun for everyone who had been excluded from Gaea's scheme to torment the giants about their failure. That included me. None of Nyx's children had been invited to join the ruling of the world. We were in Gaea's words too...dark. We knew it was because we were really too powerful. Night was eternal. And hard to control.

But oh well. The giants were paying for their lack of respect toward us. They would learn never to disrespect night or her children again.

I smiled up at the female giant who had drawn an oversized blade. It looked big and bulky with razor sharp edges. But just by the way she was standing I could tell she was an inexperienced fighter. Polibities drew a large spear out of thin air. He unlike the female giant stood in a fighting stance. He aimed the spear at my chest.

"You should take back those words runt before you regret them." Polibities snarled.

I drew my own sword. The black blade took in all light around it. Nycherini Lepida.From greek the swords name translated to The Night Blade. I thought it fitting for a daughter of night and the goddess of shadow. I smirked. "Bring it on big guy. Did I hurt your feelings?" I made a pouty face. Polibities snarled and rushed at me. But he never touched me. I raised my blade to parry his spear but the hit never occurred.

Suddenly a wave of nausea washed over me. And then the pain. My knees buckled. Polibities stood clutching his head and moaning, apparently afflicted with the same invisible force. My vision swam, what was happening. Suddenly things blackened. I saw nothing but eternal darkness. I thought for a moment that I was passed out. But quickly disposed of the idea. I could think clearly and my eyes were open wide.

My vision opened. I was in a huge cavern. It was so far across that I couldnt see walls on either sid of me. Just shadows. Suddenly in an instant I was surrounded by monsters. I saw giants, drecinae, titans, and...gods? I squinted and sure enough. Gods and Goddesses alike were looking around bewildered. Ok good! I wasnt the only one confused about this situation.

Suddenly a loud voice boomed over the crowd. "Everyone quiet!" I covered my ears and my stomach dropped. I knew all too well who that voice belonged to.

Tartarus. We had all been summoned by Tartarus. Something was going to go very wrong.
