I give unto you the 4th Chapter of Helix: True Origins Revealed!
*** The True Beginning ***
In the beginning, there was only Helix. At first Helix wasn't a male or female, just was a being of infinite power. Helix decided that it needed a form and thus chose a male humanoid form. When he came into being, he began to create the first universe, Void. Void would become the final resting place for all beings such as himself. However, after creating the Void, he noticed that two sentient powers was forming within it. He began to nurture it, giving strength and power for millennia.
After several eons of nurturing, Helix was able to give the Void's two sentient powers a form, the first of the Protogenoi was formed, his daughters Chaos & Order of the Void. He began to teach his children how to create worlds, universes and to manage the power of the Void. Chaos became known as The Creator of the Universe. While Order became The Creator of Worlds. Together, they brought life to an otherwise empty universe.
Using their teachings & knowledge, the Twin Creators began to create their own children, which became the rest of the Protogenoi and formed the Primordial Council. Helix saw Chaos was content with her children and Order with her only daughter, Nebula. However, he knew that they would never truly be happy without a companion, a true mate by their side. Instead of just making one for her, Helix decided to design a complex bonding spell. He made sure that only when they truly needed her mate, would he appear.
"Wow. History is truly written by the victors." Percy mutters as he closes the book he found in the massive library. As he turned to walk back to bed, he notices a well-cared for book yet dusty. As he opens it, on the inside cover, Chaos' Diary. At first, Percy is unsure if he should read it but decides he needs to know if everything he knows is the truth or a lie.
*** enter Chaos' diary ***
Today was the day we would meet our grandchildren, Order and I. We arrive and see many children running around playing. We exchange greetings with my children and offer congratulations. We spend the day playing with the little ones.
However, I notice that one of the little ones rarely leave my sister's side. Little Kronos, who will become the Titan of Time, keeps in constant contact with Order be it holding her hand, arm, etc. I see my sister yearning for that contact. Oh no. Please don't tell me that Order has found her Mate. The more I watch them, the more I am convinced that she has. I feel this surge of anger and jealously from nowhere take over. I can NOT allow this to happen. I know that the only way to stop this is to get Order away from Kronos as soon as I can. The only sure way is to put her beloved first planet in danger. Hmm. In that moment, I decide to launch an attack on her home planet of Parangelia. While she is distracted by Kronos talking to her, I slip out the back and open a black hole to Parangelia.
When I look upon it, I see a bright green and blue planet. A planet with life so advanced that no race would reach its height for at least two thousand years. I feel guilt at what I am about to do to these innocent people. I remind myself though about Order possibly bonding with Kronos right now. With barely a second glance, I launch a huge meteor of black energy towards the planet. In just a single blast, the planet shakes with over a fourth of all its life, destroyed in a black flash. Unbeknownst to me, an alarm is sent directly to Order since she promised to look over them.
After I launch a second meteor towards them, Order appears blocking it with a white shield.
"SISTER! What are you doing?!" She yells at me.
"What does it look like? I am destroying Parangelia. Now, move before I force you." I say with spite and anger. A look of surprise appears on her face since I have never spoken to her like that before.
"What have I done to earn such rage, my sister?" She questions me.
"Kronos. Is he your Mate now?" I saw with annoyance. I see her face turn from surprise to anger then understanding.
"No, sister. At first, I could feel our powers begin to mingle. I pulled mine back because I felt a dark energy within and I did not want it to affect me. Please sister, spare my people. I know you are scared that if I have a Mate first then at the same time, you will be alone." She ends, pleading with me to spare Parangelia."
"No." I open a black hole behind her, sucking her away to the other side of the universe near the Void. I knew I would only have a few moments before she would return. I collect my power and launch the largest meteor of my power at Parangelia.
I watch as the planet shatters and kills 90% of all life on the planet. I see the survivors fleeing on their ships to their moon base. I decide to let them go as my target was the planet not the people or moon. I go down to what remains of the surface of the planet, looking around at the devastation I have wrought.
"What have I done?" I say to myself in horror seeing a planet once home to life now devoid of it.
"You have become the Destroyer." I turn around and see Order standing there with a pained look on her face.
"Mark my words, sister. I will have my revenge for my people." With that, she disappears in a flash of white light.
***diary jumps forward several years***
"Hello Auntie. How may we be of service?" The fates ask Order who enters their humble abode.
"Hello my nieces. I need your help of a delicate nature." Order asks the triplets of Fates.
"How may we assist you, Auntie?" The Fates interested in helping their only Aunt.
"Ouranos has been in power too long. The time has come for the son to succeed the father. I feel that we should issue a proclamation that the son will take over from the father. Ushering in a new council, make sure that after so many millenia, new blood will keep the Earth in check and continue progressing." Order says in the most sincere voice she can muster.
After thinking it over, the Fates agree. Combining their power, they cast the prophecy that the son will take over from the father and usher in a new age.
While the Fates recovered from the power drain, Order flashes to Earth to watch as Kronos overthrows Ouranos and he mutters the same words that the Fates just cast. With a evil smile, she flashes away.
"Hello, Chaos. My revenge has begun. Kronos has killed and overthrown his father, your son Ouranos." She says in a satisfied tone.
"NO! What have you done, sister?!" I reply in shock.
"I am repaying the pain you caused me. You killed my people, my children. Now I will cause you a lifetime of pain by having your family kill each other for power." She ends with an evil laugh.
"You have broken the Helix law, sister! The law of our father specifically states that we are not to interfere with any of our children unless the fate of our domains or Mate is at state. Surely you remember sister?" I reply in shock that she had broken the only law our father passed.
"Oh yes, I am perfectly aware. I am prepared to accept the punishment from father when the time comes. My revenge is not complete though. I need Kronos to meet the same fate as his own father." She replies with a bright smile on her face.
"No. I will not allow you to harm another of my family." I grab her and send us through a portal to the remains of Parangelia.
As we step through the portal, I throw her to the ground. "For what happens next, I am truly sorry sister."
"Bring it on sister." She grins preparing herself for a fight. I have no idea what her power level is since the last time we sparred was eons ago, while the Primordial Council was still forming.
We launch balls and beams of white & black power at each other. Even after all this time, we are still evenly matched. After several hours, I notice we are both starting to tire since we have not worked on our stamina in millenia. I aim a small black orb towards her knee. It hits her on target, shattering her knee cap. She drops to the ground, knowing I only have a few seconds, I begin to chant in the language of our father.
"Sister, please, no." She has lifted her head and understands the spell I am casting. I am sorry but I must, otherwise, this will never end.
As I chant, I see tendrils of her power come out of her body and begin to wrap around her. Soon, she is blocked from view being wrapped by her white power. It begins to form into a rectangular shape, a sarcophagus. Once it has formed, some of my own power begins to surround like ribbons around the sarcophagus. They then turn into black chains tight around the coffin. As I end the chant, I see my mark appear on the chains while the coffin floats about 2 feet above the ground.
"It is done." I open a portal and retreat to Otieno to recover for the next few millennia. By the time I awaken, Zeus has already overthrown Kronos. I know that my sister's curse has occurred again. I just hope my great-grandson won't fall to it either.
"Percy, what are doing reading that diary of mine?" I freeze and turn to see my Mate with just a sheer sheet covering her.
"Uh, I wanted to know if everything I know is the truth since that book just showed me that the universe began differently than what I originally knew." At this, I see Chaos' face goes from teasing to understanding.
"Next time, just ask. Since we are Mated, there are no secrets between us. If you have any questions, please ask." She says with a sincerity I didn't think that the Creator of the Universe could speak in.
"Of course. Now since it's still early, let's go back to bed. Before you ask, I am not ready for round 5, maybe in a few hours, Love." I reply watching her face go to lusty smirk then pouting and finally gleeful.
*** Meanwhile, back on Earth ***
Thalia & Artemis flash into the Hunt's central fire after leaving Olympus. Artemis then walks off into her tent without a word allowing the cover to fall showing that she does not want to be disturbed. The whole Hunt turn towards their Lieutenant, Thalia.
"Before you guys start spitting out questions, let me explain what happened on Olympus." Thalia immediately says.
Thalia recounts what happened over the past few hours with Percy becoming a god, Chaos arriving and finding out they are Mates, and of Zeus decree to have Percy become adjusted to his domains. WHen she finishes, the Hunt is just quiet for a few moments. Then all hell breaks loose.
"WHAT!?"
"No way a boy joins us!"
"Is Lady Artemis even allowing this to happen?!"
"ENOUGH!" Thalia yells to stop the hundred question barrage.
"Let me answer before you start the question throw up again. Yes, he will join us within a month's time. Lady Artemis is allowing this to happen due to my father's decree and one of Percy's domains is demigods. We are demigods if you all remember." As she finishes, most of the Hunt quiet down. However, one throws a question out.
"What aren't you telling us?" A new hunter, Hailey, questions.
"Whatever do you mean?" Thalia responds wondering what this is about.
"While you were talking about Zoe on Percy's throne, your face turned red. What else happened?" Thalia stiffens.
"Uh nothing. I'm tired, so I'm going to bed." Thalia all but runs to her tent for the night.
"Something happened girls. I guess we are going have to get it out of Percy when he gets here." The rest of the Hunters grin with Hailey.
*** Back in Otieno ***
Chaos & Percy lay down in bed with her cuddling against him and watches him fall into a peaceful sleep. Before she can join him in dreamland, she can feel her mind being pulled elsewhere.
She sees Parangelia before her as she stands on the surface. A planet she has not visited since that day. She hears a huge BOOM. Turning around she sees a massive shockwave coming across space and ripping through the planet. She hears a massive SNAP. Turning to her left, she sees Order's prison but the chains of her own power are dissolving into nothing.
"No…" How can this be happening?
The coffin floats to the ground and the lids slides off. A slender hand grabs the side to lift up their body. A slender beautiful woman steps out in a white dress. She looks the same as the day of our battle. Good thing this is just a dream. The figure turns around and smiles.
"Hello, sister."
AN: Sorry, 2 cliffhangers in a row. I had too. Word count for this chapter is 2,254 with Chapter 3 at 2,541. I am trying to keep it about 2k words to make it worthwhile. My current goal is to upload chapters when I am 2 ahead. So currently, Ch 5 is being typed with Ch 6 & 7 being outlined. So, my current goal is to get Ch 5 uploaded no later than Valentine's Day. It just depends on when Ch 6 is finished. Thanks for all the support.
