Chapter 2-The pit

PERCY POV

When me and Annabeth had fallen in Tartarus during the giant war it had taken what seemed like hours to reach the bottom. But this I was instantly transported to the bottom. When I thought about Annabeth I mentally cringed. This was all my fault the wave was probably caused by one of my enemies. But then I shook off those thoughts. Annabeth wouldn't want me to think like that. I got up looked around to see where I was. The land was reddish grey in color and the air was poisonous and sulfurous. Next to me the river Phlegethon with live fire dancing on the surface. Before I could think on ways to survive in this godforsaken place a voice spoke behind me," How nice of you to visit me grandson."I turned around to see a man with golden hair coming to his shoulders and gold eyes. He was wearing an armour which was black in color. With a shock I realized I was looking at Kronos in his original form. I could now see where the elder gods got their good looks from. Kronos was holding a scythe made of half steel and half celestial bronze. Before I could say anything he charged me. I side stepped and swung my sword but somehow he was able to turn and parry it with his sword. Both of us were thrown a few feet back. He then raised his hand and I suddenly started moving slowly. I gritted my teeth and tried my best but I couldn't move any faster. Last time he had used this trick I had used my water powers to break his concentration but since Poseidon had disowned me I didn't have my water powers anymore. I then remembered Hestia's blessing and tried to control the flames in the Phlegethon. It worked and the fire threw itself at Kronos who screamed in pain and lost his concentration. I ran towards him and stabbed him in the chest with riptide. Since we were in Tartarus he would not reform. As he fell a ball of golden energy left his chest and hit me. The pain I felt was like the pain I felt when I bathed in the river Styx but only a thousand times more. I couldn't bear the pain and blacked out.

When I finally regained consciousness I got up when I heard," About time you got up."I saw that at the banks of the Phlegethon there was a man standing. He had coal black hair that had a few grey streaks and black eyes. He was wearing a loose black t-shirt. I then remembered that this was the same man from my dream. I raised my sword and pointed it at him and said," who are you?" He said," I am Erebus the primordial of darkness."

NO ONES POV

All Percy said was,"oh." Hearing this Erebus face palmed. After sometime Percy finally came to his senses and realized he was standing in the presence of the one of the oldest and the most powerful beings in the universe. So he said the best thing he could come up with," am I supposed to bow?" Erebus just stood there shell shocked at Percy's obliviousness. After recovering he said," No there is no need to bow. We primordials have seen how arrogant and sloppy the gods have become and do not wish for them to continue their rule so we will help you fulfill your oath. Percy pondered and then said," But don't Nyx, Gaea and Tartarus hate me?" "No Gaea was under a spell of Kronos, Tartarus was just defending his domain and my sister was just in a very bad mood." " Sister ? Isn't Nyx your wife."At this Erebus sighed," Why does every one think Nyx is my wife, no she is just my sister the books are wrong. So do you except the offer?" " yes sure"."Excellent just close your eyes."

PERCY POV

Erebus flashed me to a throne room much bigger than Olympus's and even the thrones were bigger in size. The thrones were made of air, light, darkness, and water. The one at the head was completely black with stars and galaxies on it. " Whose throne is that" I asked Erebus. He said "that's our father Chaos's the creator's throne". My eyes widened," So he is on our side." "He is still not sure but after what the Olympians did to you I am sure he will join the primordials cause or remain neutral." Than Erebus went and sat on his throne which was made of darkness he than closed his eyes. I started getting the presence of powerful beings around me and one by one the Primordials started appearing. The power in the room was more than I had ever felt. any mortal would burn just by being in the presence of the Primordials. I saw Gaea and she smiled at me. well this is weird. Tartarus just nodded. I respectfully nodded back. I saw next o Erebus was a women whose beauty was exquisite. She would make Aphrodite look ugly on a bad hair day. She had black hair coming down to almost her waist. Her skin had a pale milky complexion and her eyes were black like Erebus's. This was Nyx. I remembered when I had first seen Nyx she had been the form of shadows so I couldn't see her face clearly but now that I did I could easily say she was the most beautiful woman in the universe. She was also staring at me intently. Than somebody coughed. I looked to see a male version of Aphrodite who I guessed was Eros. I realized the Primordials had been speaking and I had just been staring at Nyx. I felt my cheeks burning, I also saw that Nyx also had a blush. Than a man with a white beard and a throne with a clock on it started speaking. I guessed this was Chronus. He said," since you have agreed to join the primordials you will be blessed by all of us and one of the primordial couples will adopt you."

Before anybody could do anything. A voice said, " Wait ". this voice was laced with power and sounded ancient than a man materialized. The power he was radiating was more than the Primordials combined. He had black hair mixed with many white streaks. His eyes were black with stars in them. He was wearing a black suit. All the Primordails were bowing to him.

Thats when I understood I was in the presence of Chaos the creator of the universe.
