Percy P.O.V
I am concerned. Concerned for the world. There is war coming, involving powers older than time, a war between the oldest beings in the universe, and thanks to the gods and demigods I am part of this wonderful war. Such a great family! Not.
Maybe I should rewind.
Around 500 years ago, a new guy came to camp, David Roberts, he framed me for the murder of 2 demigods and surprisingly only Nico believed me innocent. I mean wow. Then as punishment the Gods decided to banish me to Tartarus.
But in my time here I learned things, met beings, and made allies. And now there is a threat of war and I must choose sides. Great!
"Hello Perseus," Said Nyx. She's standing with Erebus. At first, she was mad at me because of the whole I tricked her with Annabeth thing. But after a century she cooled down. How am I century old? I have no idea. When I landed in Tartarus, I was magically an Immortal. Awesome.
"Lady Nyx. Lord Erebus"
"No need for formalities Percy," said Erebus. At least he called me Percy. Nyx insists on calling me Perseus.
I nodded "Why are you here? Is it about the war?"
"Unfortunately, the wonderful gods have noticed war looming. We ask you to go and tell the gods this is not their fight and not to get involved."
" None of 'sides' would agree to let the gods fight beside them" agrees Nyx.
" So, you want me to go to Olympus and tell the gods to stay out of this war or face your wrath?"
" well maybe not face our wrath. Face everyone's wrath"
I think about it. Its been a while since I left Tartarus. Yes, I can leave Tartarus any primordial or stronger being can let you out. In the beginning they hated me, but they came to like me later. I did too. And I get to scare the gods, Bonus.
"I'll do it"
Erebus flicks his hand and I reappear in the Olympian Throne room. Seems like they are discussing war.
" Ares are you sure of this war" Zeus asks
" I am father, but this war is ancient I don't know how but I can't do anything about it, I don't know what its about, I don't even know the sides, nothing" Ares said.
"Have you felt it, Athena?"
"I have father, but I face the same problem as Ares, I can't Figure anything out about this war" Athena said frustrated.
For the first time I notice the cabin counselors of camp half-blood there. How are they even alive? Katie. The Stolls. Annabeth. I hate her, she was my Girlfriend, but she didn't believe in me. But I got over her.
" We need to prepare for war. We need more Information" says Hades
" I can help with that" I say and step out of the shadow
"YOU DARE SHOW YOUR FACE HERE" Zeus thunders threateningly holding the master bolt.
I roll my eyes "Couple of things. One: I come here with Information on war that is what you want correct? Two: Please I didn't want to see any of you either. The sight of you probably makes your enemies sick and helps you win these wars. Except Nico all of you anyway. Three: No need to shout. We are indoors Zeus."
"Very well, give us this Information on war" Spoke up Athena.
"What do you want in return?" Asked Jason Suspicion clear in his voice.
" Relax, getting away from you is reward enough" I told him
"War Information" Athena reminded us.
"Right. Apologies. Don't involve yourself in this war. You have no part in it. It is not meant for you. It is not a war for power. There is no need for you to worry. This is a war between us, and we intend to keep it that way. However, if we see you acting against us, we will attack and annihilate you."
"Who is 'us'? Do you know what this war is about? Are you a part of this war? You'll annihilate us? Is that a threat?" Annabeth asked.
"Why do you care what 'us' means? Yes, I know what the war is about. As for If I am a part of this, I fail to see how it concerns you. I won't annihilate we will. Its not a threat, take it as a warning."
"What is the war about? It concerns me because I am your Girlfriend."
Everyone looks at me nervously obviously expecting me to blow at the girlfriend comment. It is a bit annoying but mostly amusing really.
" Why would I tell you what the war is about? It doesn't concern you so stay out of it. By the way you're my ex not my girlfriend."
"son please" Poseidon pleads
Again, the nervous looks of expecting me to blow up at the son comment.
" Please what? Do you want to know about the war? Or are you telling me to show more respect?" I ask in genuine confusion "You know never mind. I came here with a message I have delivered it. Stay out of this war. You have a chance at peace. I'll be going now."
I was about to step back in the shadow. When Nico spoke up
" I missed you Perce. Stay safe. Are you really a part of this war? Ughhh, I don't know how to do this cheesy stuff"
I laughed " I missed you too Nico, And I'll try to stay safe. You stay safe got it? If I die at least, I can see you in the underworld. I can have no such pleasure if you die." I deliberately avoided the war Question.
I stepped back in the shadow sent a quick prayer to Erebus and Boom I was back in Tartarus.
