Hey Everyone, I am so sorry for the delay. My 2-month old nephew passed away from pneumonia on November 30. I want to thank my betas for this chapter: Arkyz66 & Pontus True Lord Of The Ocean. I will put an update on the poll for pairings at the end of the chapter.
Previously on Helix's Greatest Creation:
Percy is awarded his titles of God of Heroes, Tides & Demigods, Titan of Time & Primordial of Universes
First Power of the Mated is revealed as linked minds, able to send thoughts & emotions
Artemis hugs while Thalia kisses Percy as a gesture of thanks for putting an image of Zoe on his Olympian Throne
Percy swears to serve Olympus as long as the loyalty is returned in kind
Aphrodite asks to speak with Percy
I give unto you the 3rd Chapter of Helix: The Bond Matures!
Aphrodite.
I turn my head and see Aphrodite standing there with a worried look on her face. Only now do I notice that she is not wearing any makeup, her hair is a light brown with no modification like a bronze sunrise in the Grand Canyon. Her eyes are green but not a dark forest green like Artemis' but a bright fiery green emerald. Behind it all, I can see an intelligence that can even rival Athena's.
"Y-Y-Y-Yes, Aphrodite?" Personally afraid what she may ask of me now.
"Don't worry, Percy. I have a favor to ask of Chaos and you. Since you are Mated, the true representative of love, I would like to spend some time with you talking about it. Please? Please? Please?" She's literally jumping in excitement.
It's okay love. Just as long as she doesn't try to take what is mine. I feel like there's a slight growl of possessiveness at the end. Did you just growl, my Mate? I feel nothing but a flush of embarrassment in return.
"Yes, you can. On one condition. You can not make any advances towards me or my Mate without her permission." I finish with a mental smirk knowing once Chaos understood that last part - I am so going to hurt you. I feel a surge of anger which I quickly stop. Payback remember Mate? I feel the anger drained away like someone pulled the drain from a tub.
"That is agreeable, Perseus." Aphrodite replies barely able to hold in her excitement. I groan at her use of my full first name.
"However, you will need to wait. I have to speak with Artemis & Thalia first then will need to finalize the bond with my Mate first." I say with a firm tone that leaves no room for debate.
"Of course. Please let me know when you two are available." Aphrodite replies and then vanishes in a flash of pale pinkish light.
As a let a breath out, I feel a pair of arms wrap around me from behind. "Thank you love. There is a few things we need to discuss with the Hunters here." We both turn and see Artemis & Thalia standing there with intrigued looks.
"Sorry ladies for keeping you waiting. I would like to speak with you before I leave for sometime."
"Leave? Why are you leaving?" Thalia spits out with shock and worry.
"It's okay, Thalia. It will only be for a few days. I have to go with Chaos to have our bond settle, strengthen and grow. We can't do it here due to our powers."
"Oh" I see a faint blush spread on her cheeks. I walk over and embrace her in a tight hug. "I love you, Thalia. I will never abandon you." I say with every fiber of my being. For some reason, I feel my powers lightly surge in respond like reaffirming my statement. I feel her arms quickly wrap around me in response.
"Thank you Percy. I shall always be here for you." She responds. I glance towards Artemis expecting to see anger but I see glistening tears with a hint of jealously. Wait, what?
Artemis notices that I am looking at her and I see the tears and emotions disappear beneath a blanket. It disappears so fast I almost think I was imagining it, almost. I give Artemis a smirk and squeeze Thalia a little harder. After a few seconds, I let Thalia go with a kiss on her forehead.
Turning to Artemis, "Lady Artemis. Come here, I can give you a hug goodbye too. I promise I won't tell a soul, even Apollo." I wasn't expecting anything but held my arms open anyway. Then with a sudden whoosh, Artemis, the man hater is in my arms once again.
I decide to give her some security as I whisper, "I want you to know that I would never make Thalia choose between me and the Hunters. I will do everything in my power to keep her safe, even from me." I feel her relax into the hug as I finish my promise.
"Thank you Perseus." Artemis replies as she pulls away from the hug. For some reason, I feel an urge to kiss her but then I remind myself that she can turn me into a jackalope and hunt me down. I have a feeling that Chaos will not let me die however that does not mean I can not be punished.
Artemis walks over to Thalia about to teleport out when Zeus appears in a flash of lightning.
"Hold on just a minute my daughters." I see a smirk in my uncle's eyes. What is he planning? He wouldn't. I feel the thought come from Chaos and see a flame flickering in her eyes. It's hard to determine what emotion they represent as hers are fluctuating so much I can't tell what they are.
"Yes, father?" I hear Artemis respond but see Thalia look at Zeus with suspicion.
"In order for Percy to acclimate to becoming the God of Heroes & Demigods, he will need to spend time with some of our biggest demigod heroes. It is his domain and as you know Artemis, the more time you spend connecting with your domain, the more powerful you can become. Therefore, Percy will be required to spend 1 year each with Camp Half-Blood & the Hunters. After he settles his bond with Lady Chaos, of course." I note that he adds that last line with a small bow and quite quickly.
"WHAT!" Artemis screams making Thalia & I jump. "No way. I will not allow any boy or man near my Hunters, even one as respected as Percy." I can literally see the steam coming off her.
Man, she is so hot when she is angry. Huh? Why am I thinking this stuff? Are you checking out another woman, my Love? Uh oh. I mentally gulp. I am so sorry my Mate. I have no idea why I am thinking of these things, I usually have better control. I feel a laugh come through our bond. It's okay Love. Our bond has not settled. It's natural for your hormones to pick up on attractive viable women. Just remember, if you even touch another woman without my permission, I will cut off your dick and let it reform for the next decade on it's own as slow as possible. Wow, she can still scare the crap out of me even with a warning. I promise, my Love, that I will never willingly inappropriately touch any woman without the permission of my Mate. This, I swear on your name, Chaos. I feel the power of the universe phase through my entire being. You didn't need to make another Chaos Oath, Love. However, thank you for proving how serious you are. Your uncle better finish before I jump you. She finishes with a smirk and some blushing images.
"Artemis, I know you may not like it but this is my order as King. It is also for Percy's benefit. You know how important it is for a god to be connected to one's domain. It will only be for one year. Or should I have Thalia spend 1 year with Percy in isolation for training in Canada? Your choice." I freeze as I hear Zeus present Artemis with the choice of having me in the Hunt for a year or having me and her lieutenant, my cousin Thalia, training alone for a year in Canada. I glance towards Thalia to gage her reaction and see a most unusual look. It seems that she seems almost jealous that Artemis will decide my fate in the Hunt, not her. She looks so kissable with those pouting, red, soft lips. Her face - Wait. First Artemis, now Thalia? What the hell is wrong with me? Patience, Love. I know what is happening and I will tell you. First, we must settle our bond. I promise I will tell you. I let out a light sigh of relief making sure that no one else can hear it. Okay, I will hold you to that Love.
"Fine." Artemis turns to face me. "Percy, I will allow you to spend 1 year with the Hunt. If you touch any of my Hunters in any way I deem inappropriate, being a jackalope will be the least of your worries."
"No it won't Artemis." Chaos interrupts before Artemis could continue. "He is my Mate. You do anything to threaten my bond with him, I will bring the whole universe including the moon, which exists in my domain, to bear. However, my Mate has already sworn a Chaos Oath to not touch any woman without his Mate's permission. You understand the consequences of breaking a Chaos Oath, don't you? The Void will punish him, which surpasses even my power."
"My apologies, Lady Chaos. Percy, thank you for making the Chaos Oath on this. I know you did not have to but it will grant me peace without worrying about my Hunters." Artemis responds to us with a look of gratitude.
"Yes! We are gonna have so much fun together, Percy!" I turn towards Thalia who has the biggest shit-eating grin on her face that spreads to my own.
"Be careful nephew and I will see you at the next council meeting. Farewell, nephew, daughters." Zeus flashes out in a bolt of lightning and a thump of thunder. Show off.
"We will be camped in Yosemite for the next few weeks before moving on to Oregon to investigate some monster sightings reported by mortals as Bigfoot." Artemis informs me before motioning to Thalia to come here. "Come Thalia, Percy needs some time with Chaos. I expect you to join us by the time we arrive in Oregon. I will not tolerate tardiness."
"Of course, My Lady Artemis." I reply a little cheeky and with a smirk. Surprisingly, instead of a glare, her cheeks flush red. She grabs Thalia' shoulder and they flash out in a pale white light that resembles a beam of moonlight.
"We are finally alone, My Love." I turn around and face Chaos, who smirks at me knowingly. "We will journey to the edge of this universe where it meets the Void. It's the only place I can think of where we have plenty of room just in case our powers clash to prevent any destruction of life." Behind her I see a black portal open with purple energy coming out like fog on the floor of the Council's chambers. I see thousands of stars in the black circle that I can see.
"I just want to let you know, I' vvvirgin." I finish in a low, unsure voice. I feel a hand lift my chin up until I am looking into her galaxy eyes. "I am, as well. My father told me that if I saved myself for my Mate, it would bring us closer together and be more powerful." I let out a sigh of slight relief.
She holds out her hand towards me, "Come with me my Mate. It is time to finalize this bond after thousands of years of wait. I hope you have the energy to keep up." I look at her face and see her sexy smirk and lust-filled eyes.
I walk up to her and take her soft hand into mine, our marks begin to glow with a purplish energy. "I'm a god now. I have nothing but stamina. I have to in order to be the God of Heroes." I finish with a matching smirk of my own while I carus the back of her hand with my thumb, feeling shivers producing there and moving throughout her body.
"Let's go." We both turn and set through the portal. I feel my power as Primordial of Universes surge forward as I enter my biggest domain. In front of me I see the biggest palace I have ever seen. (Think of Hogwarts from the Harry Potter movies with the setting and gleam of Asgard from Thor movies)
"Wow, this is wonderful." I am in total shock at the sheer beauty of the palace. "This is our home. I built this eons ago as a hope for our eternal life together." I feel the sincerity of her words.
"Thank you, Love. I will find a way to repay you for the rest of our days. Now, enough words. What do you say we go christen our home?" I feel the power of our bond overwhelm my emotions and hormones. I can literally feel the lust at the edge ready to overtop the dam that I build to control it.
"You can let go Love. Whatever happens, remember that I love you. You will never be rid of me." Chaos says reading my face and emotions. I glance up at her and see nothing but love in her eyes.
"As you wish, My Lady." I let the lust and everything else I had been holding back for a few hours take over. I pull her to me and give her the deepest kiss I have ever given. After a few moans, I break off the kiss. "Let's move to our bedroom before we get too distracted."
"There is one more thing, Percy. you must not hold back your powers, let them flow. If you hold them back, it damage more than our bodies." I feel the concern in her voice as if it was my own.
"I will try my Mate. Now shall we see what happens when the Primordial of the Void meets the Primordial of the Universe?"
***Place your own smut scene here***
In the center of the blackness of space, a huge explosion of light occurs mixed with cries of passion. The shockwave was so powerful that it rips nearby asteroids apart. However, with all of the crushed rock and matter, began to swirl and compact together, forming a new planet. The light of power coming from the 2 strongest living beings in the universe causes the planet's development to jump 2 billion years in just a few minutes. Already teeming with life by the time the light begins to dim. The intellectual beings on the new planet call it Lucifer, the bringer of light.
Several hours later …
In the center of the palace, christened Otieno, Chaos & Percy are panting in the middle of a marble ballroom with cracks originating from their location to the edges of the room and up the pillars.
"Wow. We totally need to do that more often." My whole body is tingling in pleasure, both from the sex and the completion of the bond. Within myself I feel my powers have connected to Chaos' own, so entangled that nothing will break them.
"Let's rest for a bit before round 2." I feel Chaos mutter against my neck.
"Are you saying you want more than one round?" I reply cheekily.
"Yes. We have all eternity to experience this over and over again." Chaos replies with a saucy smile.
In the center of the universe where light meets dark…
The shockwave of power rips thru the universe at an incredible speed. On a desolate, dead planet, a single coffin made of white light wrapped in black chains that show the stars of the universe. The pulse hits the coffin with such force that the chains are shattered. The coffin drifts down on to the ground lightly. The lid slides off on to the ground, a hand reaches up and grabs the side followed by a body wearing a pearl white dress.
"The time for revenge has come. For I have been released by the power of a Mated pair. Watch out, Chaos. For ORDER HAS RISEN!"
AN: BOOM! How is that for a cliffhanger?
Thank you everyone who voted in the poll, as of closing it on December 16, with 35% of the vote, the pairing will be Percy/Chaos/Artemis for this story. Exactly how she will enter the bond will be quite the shock to Percy. You guys & ladies helped me finalize some arcs this story will take. I am currently outlining the rest of the story and a possible 2 sequels. Still WIP though. Let me know your thoughts thru reviews or PM me.
I will try to make monthly updates. Last chapter was up early November so I will try to get the next chapter up by mid-January. BTW, This chapter topped out at 2,541 words! Longest chapter so far since last one was 2,001.
Thanks Everyone, Draco
