Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Review: He simply asked, "Do you trust me?" I nodded. He offered a hand to me and said, "Then take my hand." We then burst into flames.
Third P.O.V.
In a flash of fire, two people appeared in a small clearing. "It`s ok. You can open your eyes now." The male said. "How`d we get here, Percy?" The girl said. The man, Percy, said, "My mom gave me the power over fire. That means I can control fire as well as, travel in fire." "Wow!" the girl said. "Now, Alexandria, we are currently just outside our new home. There is a barrier that stops monsters and people who aren't given permission from going inside. It also is invisible for those who have evil intentions to us and those who can't see through the mist." Percy explained. The girl, now named Alexandria, nodded. "Now, are you ready to go inside?" She nodded once more. They took a couple steps forward and passed through an invisible barrier that seemed to stick to them.
When they passed through, the sight amazed them. There was a gravel road that leads up to a house. The gravel road was made up of different sized rocks and a little bit of sand. With this mixture, the road looked like it would be able to take on any type of weather.
On one side the side of the road, there was what seems to be a plain of grass. The grass itself was the greenest grass you could ever imagine. Whenever there was a slight breeze of wind, the grass would shimmer with the wind. The plain land seemed to go on for around two miles and two miles wide, before it ended with a tree line that stretched on around half the plains.
On the other side of the road, there was what seemed row after row of trees. There were pine trees, oak trees, cedar trees, dragon trees, cherry blossoms, and more. The trees were set up in a way where they were creating a pattern. That pattern created something like a rainbow but the rainbow like pattern was made up of the leaves. The leaves though, didn't seem to be falling, even though some trees should have no leaves right now. The trees can be seen going on for miles.
All this seemed to just make the cabin more beautiful. The cabin was made up of what seemed birch planks, though the planks seemed to pop out at you. The planks were completely smooth and had no blemishes. There also was a darker shade of planks for the door, though it wasn't too dark to make it stand out. There were four windows; one window per wall. The roof was made up of spruce planks going at an angle; so in case it rains or snows, it will fall off.
"Wow." Alexandria gasped. "Indeed. My mom did this with help of the Hecate the Goddess of magic, witchcraft, ghosts, and necromancy. And just wait until you get inside." Percy said. "What`s inside?" Alexandria asked. Percy just smirked and gestured to the door. "After you, milady." Percy said in a mock posh voice. Alexandria giggled and darted forward. When they reached the door, Alexandria stopped. After a couple of minutes, Percy knelt and asked "What`s wrong?" "I`m scared." Is all she said. "Why are you so scared? That man is never going to hurt you." Percy reassured. Alexandria suddenly started crying. Percy didn't know what to do, so he decided to go with the safe bet and hugged her. Alexandria kept crying in his chest. "Promise never to leave me. Promise never to hurt me." She managed to speak through her sobs. "I swear on the river of styx not to leave or hurt you intentionally." Thunder boomed as the swear was sealed. She calmed down somewhat and her crying calmed to a sniffle. "Hey." Percy spoke softly, while being serious. "The only way for me to hurt you, is for me to get you out of hurt." By this, she calmed down fully. "Now, let us go inside and get you into pajamas. It`s already past eleven o`clock." She nodded, getting a glint in her eyes. She then opened the door and gasped in awe.
The interior had a cozy atmosphere to it, instantly making Alexandria more at home. When they walked in there was a welcome mat and a holder for what seems to be shoes. The inside colors were a mix between light woodish color of the birch to the dark woodish color of the spruce. To the right of walking in, was the living room. The living room had a light gray five piece sectional couch with a small oak table. At the far left of the room was stairs leading upwards, while there were stairs at the far right going downwards. There was also a fireplace at the furthest wall, along with two white single person couches.
To the left of going inside was the kitchen and dining room. The dining room wasn`t much, there was an oak table with four legs. There also were oak chairs with dark blue cushions to go with the table. There was also a small, not fancy, chandelier.
As for the kitchen, there were simple white marble counters, with light brown cabinets above the counters. There were two metallic gray sinks, as well as a white dishwasher. Near the counter, was the metallic gray oven and stove. There also was the microwave, which was above the oven. Across the oven, was the matt black refrigerator and freezer. The kitchen appliances were in the shape of a square c.
"It`s beautiful." Alexandria breathed out. "I know." Percy said knowingly. Alexandria gave him a look. "I`m seeing this for the first time as well. I wanted to start a place for the people who have been hurt by their step-parents. Now I mentioned this idea to my mom and she said that she would take care of the house and be there for me whenever I need her. She always spoils me for the better." Percy explained. "Who is your mom?" Alexandria asked. "She is Hestia, goddess of the hearth, family, home, and fire." Percy said proudly. Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. Percy smirked and said "Close your mouth or you`ll catch flies." She promptly closed her mouth and looked at him.
"Now, it's time to go to bed." Percy said. She got over her shock and pouted. "But I`m not tired." Alexandria whined, while yawning. "I have a pretty comfortable bed with your name on it." I told her. Her eyes widened and reached her hands up to be picked up. I picked her up and took her up the stairs. When I reached the top, there was a hallway with doors. On the first door to the left, had Alexandria`s name carved into the door. I opened it and took her inside to the bed. I glanced at her and found her asleep while holding on to me. "Hey, we`re here. You can let go and get changed." Percy said softly. She didn't move and Percy sighed. He gently bent over and tried to put her down, but she didn't let go.
'Mom, can you help me? I don't know what to do and I want to go and explore.' Percy prayed to Hestia. Hestia suddenly appeared in the room in a flash of flames, that didn't wake Alexandria, with a warm smile. "Of course, my son, all you need to ask and I will be there." Hestia said. 'Now comes the hard part; passing Alexandria over to mom.' Percy thought. They managed to transfer Alexandria from Percy to Hestia after an hour of trying.
After Alexandria was in Hestia`s arms, Percy managed to get a good look at the room Alexandria was staying in. The room had a light purple wallpaper and olive green coloring on the ceiling. There were lights shaped like a clam hanging on the wall, glow in the dark raven stickers on the ceiling, and gray plush wolves on the bed. Percy gave Hestia a soft smile before he left to explore the stairs that led downstairs.
Percy went down the stairs to the ground floor, he went over to the stairs that led downstairs, and he then took a deep breath, and went downstairs. When he reached the basement, he was thoroughly surprised. The walls were light blue, while the ceiling was white. There was an arena that could hold multiple spars at once, archery range, straw dummies, and everything you could dream of if you owned a sword arena.
Off to the left side of the arena was a door and a sign next to it that says 'Armory'. Percy walked over to it and opened the door to have a look inside. His eyes bulged at what he saw; there was every type of weapon and armor ever created. It was Percy`s turn to have his eyes bulge and mouth drop. He was so surprised; he didn't hear Hestia walking towards him. "Is it good?" She asked with hope her adoptive son liked it. Percy jumped a little and turned to Hestia. "Is it good?!" He asked incredibly. She could only nod. "No." She barely stopped a sob from coming out of her mouth until she heard his next words. "I love it." She squealed with joy, due to her son`s approval. She wanted her first son to be happy adopted or not.
Once Hestia calmed down, she asked "What are you going to do now that you have one here?" "I`ll get her settled in and then have a basic outline of a schedule between learning and light training, since she`s pretty young. Once she gets used to her schedule, I`ll be able to get more." Percy replied. Hestia nodded and was amazed at how Percy thought this through. She felt like she couldn't be prouder of her son.
"How did you manage to get Alexandria to get off of you and into bed?" Percy asked. Hestia just smirked and said "It`s a secret." Percy just sighed and muttered, "Of course it is." Hestia just kept smirking. "I`m going to bed. I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be a hectic day." Percy said while rubbing his eyes. "Alright, good night my son." Hestia said.

Chaos P.O.V.
"Silverblade, how did it go?" I asked. "The mission went well. He didn't seem any different from how he usually acts." He said. "He`s fooling you. He`s hiding my son from me." I snarled. "If I may speak my mind, milord?" I nodded. "If you love your son, then why is he not here with you?" He asked. I looked at him and could tell he is just curious and doesn't mean anything bad. I sighed and slumped into my throne. "Do you remember when my son was proclaimed missing?" I asked. He nodded. "That wasn't necessarily true." Silverblade gave me a confused face. "I had to send him away with a close friend of mine. The reason was because at the time, I had enemies who would take a young child and hurt him, just to get to me. Though these enemies were defeated a long time ago, it still leaves a whole in my heart every time I see the bed that is supposed to be my son. This close friend of mine didn't tell me where she was taking him, but all she said and promised was that she`d take care of him until it`s time for him to come home. Now I can't take my son`s absence anymore. I want him back." I explained with tears rolling down my cheeks.
"Do you by any chance have a link to your son to track him?" Silverblade hesitantly asked. "It`s so weak, I can't risk tracking it in fear of it breaking. I can only feel major feelings what he is feeling." I explained further. "Back to the original topic, when Blaze called you to the planet Earth, what did you do?" He asked. "Blaze asked me to help take care of a hero`s ex-friends because they were being controlled." I replied. "Did you kill them?" He asked. I shook my head and said, "No, they were being controlled by a son of Zeus, so I took his power of controlling lightning and if you take the power of the controller, the people being controlled are freed. For their punishment of being weak enough to be controlled, I let them wallow in their own despair."
"Do you have any idea of who your son is?" Silverblade asked. I shook my head and said, "As I said before, I have no idea." Silverblade sighed and said "This is one giant mess." I snorted and said "Tell me about it." We fell into a comfortable silence for a minute. "One more thing before I dismiss you." I said seriously. He stood up straighter catching onto my serious tune. "Never tell anyone of my weakness just now because if anyone finds out, then the universe will turn into chaos." "Yes sir." Silverblade said. "Dismissed." I said. He saluted and disappeared.
"General!" I shouted. He came scampering in. He saluted and asked "Yes sir?!" "How much longer until we arrive?" I asked. "Two Chaos years max, sir." The general said. I sighed and thought 'This will be a long two years.' I then nodded. "Very well, thank you. Dismissed." I said. "Yes sir." He saluted once more and scampered out.
I sat in silence for a few minutes before I had an idea. I stood up and started walking to the boys barracks that were on the ship. When I arrived, I smiled at everyone relaxing. "Traveler, Forge, Healer, and Archer please meet me in the meeting room." They nodded and started to get up. I then started to walk to the girls barracks. My mood brightened when I saw the three people I wanted to talk to. "Midnight, Beauty, and Lieutenant I need to talk to you three in the meeting room." I said. They nodded and we then went to the meeting room. When we arrived, the boys were there already. "Take a seat, I want to discuss something." I said.
They took a seat and waited for Chaos to start talking. "As you know, we are going to war against some people." I started off. They nodded because they knew this, as it was common knowledge that they were going to war. "The thing is we are going not to start a war but to teach a lesson to a group of people who betrayed one of their own." I said. The group of people that were gathered here got confused. "What do you mean teach a lesson to a group of people? We usually don't interfere with a race unless necessary." Lieutenant asked. "The reason why I brought his up to only you seven is because the hero that was betrayed was Perseus Jackson. And the people that betrayed him were everyone except for Poseidon, Artemis, Hestia, the hunters, the son of Hades, and Hades is on his way to being forgiven." I finished.
I looked at their expressions and started cracking up. They were utterly shocked at what they heard. "No way! They would never hurt Percy like that. He saved them twice!" Archer said. The others voiced their agreements, but froze when I said these next words. "I swear on the river of Chaos, that what I just said is true." When I said this they looked completely and utterly shocked. Swearing on the River of Chaos is such a dangerous thing, that if you lie and swear on it, there is no afterlife, just emptiness for eternity.
"That is why I want to go to Earth with the army. To teach them a lesson not mess with their hero`s." I said. They nodded, but it was subdued. "Take time off to think about what I just revealed to you." I said with sympathy. They nodded again and took off. I sighed once again. 'Oh son, where are you? I want to hold you in my hands again.' I thought.
And done. Man that took a little longer than I thought but I did it. Yay!
To the Guest who said; Great chapter.I'm loving how the story is going. Is chaos dying or something and that is why he is looking for percy? To make him his heir to the throne after he dies? I hope the chapter makes it clear as to why Chaos is looking for his son.
To Flashlan; Here you go. Another update.
Before I go, I just wanted to say that I edited the first and fourth chapter, so it has small changes in it, so check it out.
A little spoiler ahead!
I wanted to have Chaos not know who his son is until later on in the story to make it a little more interesting.
Spoiler over. But anyways, hoped you like it,
Peace Out!
