АН: All rights belong to Rick Riordan. It's all just my imagination.

Here's a new Chapter. Enjoy. A survey about the new fan fiction continues. I decided to make some adjustments to make it easier to choose who wants what. So here I will write what relationships will be in the history.

1. "Partners" - Percy/Artemis

2. " Phantom and guardian" - Danny/Ember and Percy/Artemis

3. " Phantom and League" - Danny/Ember

4. " Phantom Thieves -Loner" - Akira/Futaba

5. "Love in time" - Percy/Artemis

6. "Thief" - I don't know yet most likely Akira/Futaba/Morgana (she will become a person and a girl)/Takemi

7. "Grimm and the witch" - Nick/Adalind

8. "The Queen of time" - Percy/Kronos

9. "New house" - Percy/Jason

I also decided to write the first chapters of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 stories and let you choose whether to continue writing them now or later. But if there are more votes for other stories not included in this list of 5, I will also start writing them. So vote. I am waiting.

Chapter 10

POV Percy

Going to our room to pack for the upcoming trip. I was thinking that today I finally found out how to get out of this cesspool. Of course, the path is not close and full of danger.

That's an understatement. - Perseus commented sarcastically.

-Oh, come on. We almost 3 years with you survived alone. I reminded him. -And they didn't die." Why should this change now? I asked.

Well, maybe it's because we never went to that zone. - he suggested. I frowned, trying to remember why we hadn't gone there all the time we'd been in Tartarus. But nothing came to mind.

-Why didn't we go there?

You really are an algae brain, - Perseus snapped, then let out a sigh. - We didn't go there because it was too dangerous. In case you forgot, that's the direction of the titans and giants fortress. - he sighed again and continued in a lower voice. - And we have no friends among them. Only the enemy.

- We haven't fought the giants yet. - optimistically, I sat down. Maybe we'll get lucky and they are not as strong as the titans.

With our luck? - there was a not – so-happy chuckle in my head. – Yeah, dream on.

- We don't have a choice anyway. if we want to get out of here, we need to go through this place. The castle of Tartarus is in that direction. - I didn't want to go through this place either, but we had no choice. If the castle of Tartarus is located in the area of the head, then the castle of titans and giants can be said to be located in the area of the neck. And to get around it is not as it will not work will have to slip.

Yes. But we have a problem. – Perseus.

- What else? - I asked, puzzled, what else could there be besides the fact that we need to get through a super – dangerous place. Which is filled with the most powerful immortal monsters who only dream of killing me.

We are not secretive. - Perseus said dryly. He's right. Pancake.

- What do we do? - don't go head – on, do you? We are invincible. There are too many of them.

Well, a couple of titans were killed during the war. Maybe they didn't have time to revive? – and besides, you've heard that something's Coming up again. – Maybe the giants will leave the fortress for this something?

- You said before that it wasn't with our luck. - it was all very depressing – So don't get your hopes up. The only good news is that there will definitely be no Kronos. - I said with a slight smile, remembering that he was dead and would not be reborn for another couple of hundred years. By the time I was done reminiscing, we had arrived at our room and were standing by the door.

We quickly opened the door and slipped into the room. It hasn't changed at all during our stay here. We did not try to live in it because at first we were not sure if Nyx would kill us or not, and then we thought that we could soon leave this place and therefore it is better not to get used to this place. By the way, we failed miserably with getting used to it. It will be hard for us to leave this place, but we must return to the surface and take revenge on those who betrayed us.

Well said - REVENGE – I could hear the evil smile in Perseus ' voice. I still don't know how this is possible.

- You can't wait to do it, can you? - I asked him, even though I already knew his answer.

Then why ask if you know the answer? – he asked me again, to which I said nothing - But Yes, the answer is as you thought. I can't wait to get back at them. To all these arrogant gods.

- Clearly. I agree with you on this. We need to go to bed and rest tomorrow, - I reminded him.

Don't we have to pack up? – Perseus.

- No, they're all in our bag in the closet. - I went to the black Cabinet and opened it. Inside, it was almost empty except for two pairs of black pants, four black t-shirts, and a bag I'd made myself out of Hellhound skin. I grabbed all my things and walked over to our bed, stuffing my clothes into my bag as I went, then tossed them at the head of the bed.

- Well, that's it. We are ready. – having said this, I collapsed on the bed after undressing. – Good night, Perseus.

Good night, Percy. – Perseus. After that, I closed my eyes and fell into a dreamless sleep.

- The next day. Morning. (Near the exit of the Palace of Night) –

- Good - Bye, Percy, Perseus. I wish you all the best. - we were told Nyx clinging to the bosom of Erebus, it seemed that a little more and she will cry. I hope she's going to be okay.

Don't worry about her husband. It'll be all right, and she's the original. Only a complete fool would try to attack her. - Perseus tried to reassure me. He did it a little well.

- Yes, good luck. And when you get to the Palace of Tartarus, everything will be decided, so don't worry about it. - Erebus asked, smiling gently at us.

- Thank You. Both of you. We hope that everything will be fine for you too. - I said, smiling at them. Then I turned around and walked out of the Palace and the door slammed shut behind me. Slowly we went down the stairs of the Palace because we didn't want to mess with this place, but we had a goal to fulfill. After we went a little further, the stairs and then the entire Palace just disappeared as if they had never been there.

This was unusual. - Perseus asked.

- Yes, during our stay, he did not do so once. - I agreed with him. Then we went on our way. Our goal is the Palace of Tartarus.
