Percy's Pov
I woke up screaming and sweating like hell. Just hearing about having to see them again brings back so many memories and it hurts even though it had been so long but it stills hurts. The nightmares are more vivid and real now more than before.
*sigh* I look around my room, there was no one but me. I hurried over to the bathroom, searching through the cupboards looking for my razor. The mental pain is too much, I can't handle it I need a way to release the pain. A way to stay alive. Finally, I found it. I make my way to the edge of my bed, staring at my glinting razor.
Slowly I unwrap my bandaged left hand and start cutting myself. The pain feels like a distraction from my emotional pain. A way for me to breath again. Thinking about them feels like suffocating and cutting myself lets me breathe again.
A knock on my door brought me back to the present. I place my razor on the bedside table and ran to the bathroom, washed my blood away and make my way to the door.
" Finally, let's go is 2.55am already." Sloth said in a lazy tone.
As we make our way to the meeting room, I rewrap my hand again and place them both in my coat's pocket.
Sigh is going to be a long day I thought as we finally reach the room.
In the middle of the room, there is a big crater to it. In the crater is a round table where all of us seats during the meeting and the walls in the room are glass allowing us to see the beauty of the galaxy full of shimmering stars.
"I am happy to see you could join us, Percy" Void said with a small sad smile on his pale face.
"You makes it sound like I have a choice and if I do I won't be here." I snorted." Well anyway is 3.00am now, so let's start, shall we?"
~Olmypus throne room~
~2.50am~
Third Pov
The tension in the room was thick, so thick you could cut it with a butter knife.
"Chaos who will he be sending to help us?" Athena asked, breaking the silence in
room but the tension was still high.
"Void doesn't have any warriors or army if he does join in the war, he sends the seven deadly sins. They were made by him as even we have sins only people who are saint have control over the sins, but since now there are only humans that are saints they could not create the sins, however, Void is a saint, therefore, he created the sins. Yesterday he said the people on his side will be him, the sins and one other. I do not know who the other one is." Chaos explains."Ah look at the time now is 3.00am, let's start."
Chaos creates something that is similar to an Iris message but different as well, instead of it being rainbow it was the galaxy.
After he finishes he said "Void at the Void palace."
In the message, you can see 10 people sitting around a table.
"Well hello, Chaos, Primordial, commanders of chaos, gods and demigods I am Void." A man with pale skin, black hair so dark it looks like a black hole and crimson red eye said. " What is it that you need Chaos you sound urgent?"
"Hello to you as well Void. There is going to be a war coming soon and our enemy is...our brother, Order. Out of all 3 of us, I am the youngest with the least amount of power and you are the oldest and the strongest. So I am asking for your help in this war, though I do not like how the gods rule, I cannot say Order will do any better so, please brother help me with this war."
"I can see where you are coming from, very well I accept. Introductions will be made tomorrow at the throne room at the same time. There will also be a little surprise for you all. Goodbye"
With that said he waved his hand over the message.
After it was finished they all sigh in relief. Having hope of winning in this upcoming war with the help of the sins. Though they were curious what is he talking about? What surprise and who is the other man?"
~Tomorrow at the throne room~
~third pov~
Everyone was gathered there today. All the demigods from Camp Olympus and every creature from the mythological world. All the gods, minor gods, the commanders of chaos, primordial and Chaos.
They are all waiting for the arrival of Void, the sins and the other one. The head councilors of each cabin seats at the leg of their parent's throne. And the primordial and Chaos seats in front of the demigods.
Suddenly there was a flash of...light? The light was black. And after it clear out there stood the 10 people from yesterday.
"Hello everyone." Void said in a cheerful tone. "Like you, all know my name is Void. We know who all of you are but you don't know us. So let's start with introductions shall we?"
"Sloth, one of the sins and the oldest" a man with light blue hair and dark blue eyes, wearing black skinny jeans and white t-shirt and a jacket.
"The name is Pride one of the sins and the second oldest." a man who was wearing a dark blue hoodie with black jeans and dark blue almost black hair and eyes, pale skin said.
"Envy, one of the sins the third." a man wearing a yellow T-shirt and a pair of dark blue jean, with blond hair and blue eyes, pale skin said
"Wrath. One of the sins and the forth" a girl with purple long hair that reaches until her knee( in a high ponytail) with dark purple eyes, pale skin, wearing a black dress.
"Greed, one of the sins and the fifth." a man with dirty blond hair and gold eyes, wearing a yellow long-sleeves with a black scarf with blue jeans.
"Gluttony one of the sins and the sixth." a man with ash blond hair, black eyes, pale skin, wearing a white sweatshirt and black jeans.
"Lust, the last sins." a girl with strawberry pink hair in a high ponytail, purple eyes, pale skin, wearing a pink T-shirt and black shorts.
After the sins introduced themselves, they all look at the last one. A man with snow white hair, crimson red eyes like Void and pale skin. "I am Void's champion. Persues Jackson."
( what Percy is wearing and inside a white T-shirt and is full of Percy's kunai and decks of card that is of course hidden)
As if on cue everyone in the room whipped out their weapons and aimed at him. The sins move and stand around him forming a circle.
"You traitor! What are you doing here?!" thundered Zeus, shouts of agreement rang through the room. While Hades, Apollo, Hestia, and the commanders were shocked to see him again.
" Brother what were you thinking letting him become your champion?!?! He is a traitor he could betray you and he may even be a spy for Order now!!!!" Chaos yelled. Void sigh he was starting to have a headache with all the shoutings.
"SILENCE!!!" All look at Hestia who was at the hearth shocked that the peaceful goddess shouted and that the flames of the hearth were almost as reaching the ceiling. "Listen to what Void has to say first." Void sent her a grateful look which she returning with a nod. " Percy...come on say it."
"Ugh this is so annoying...but whatever." he pauses and looks at everyone in the room straight in the eye and said" I, Persues Jackson. Swear on the river of Chaos that I have never betrayed the gods, the primordials or Chaos and that I was framed for everything you all thought I did."
All of them look hopeful. Waiting for lighting to strike him. But when the lighting boom outside it was the seal of the oath and Percy was still standing there. In one piece. They all look at him shocked, the thoughts that ran through their head was
He isn't dead...
He is still there...
The river Chaos...
The strongest river
He was innocent...
He never betrayed us
No... My love... (I am sure you know who this is...)
Percy almost laugh at the faces they were making, it was hilarious. They had said so many things during his trial but now they are speechless just by his few words.
The first one to break out of their thoughts was Hestia. "PERCY!!!" she ran from the hearth to Percy in her 8-year-old form."Um hello, Hestia but umm could you let go? I don't like hugs." Hestia let him go still crying. Next Hades and Apollo also came over and gave him a pat on the back.
After Hestia broke out of her shock it was like a domino effect, one by one everyone in the throne room broke out of the stupor and the fact that the boy they banished and tortured have always been innocent finally sink in, some of them were on the verge of tears, while some were full out crying.
They were all disgusted and horrified of their own actions. They remembered they didn't even let the poor boy explain or defend himself. The couldn't believe all the things they have said and done to him. Him, the boy who has saved them not once but countless time. The boy whose fatal flaw is personal loyalty, they couldn't believe the fact that the boy who has saved them and help them so many times could betray them, they were all wondering, what were we thinking?. But they weren't thinking at all. They didn't think that he was framed, they all truly believe he was rotten and a gone rogue. And now they finally know the truth, is too late. The boy they knew, loved, banished and tortured was different now.
The commanders, Apollo, Hestia and Hades were all happy to see him again after so long. And they know he was no longer the same as he was before. They knew he changed.
And he did. He wasn't as warm and kind as before. And he wouldn't hesitate to go for the kill whether asked to or not. Even if they are his ex-families and ex-friends. In fact, the only reason he now isn't an empty shell is that of his new family and friends, he cares, has fun and most importantly loves for/with the sins, End, void and a few people he met through the years. The people that helped him the most, the people who pulled him out of self-loathing and taught him everything he knows and has achieved now step by step, they gave him warm when he needed them. They were there when he needed someone. They weren't, he has been depressed ever since he was a kid but nobody knows, not his mom, not Grover, not Annabeth, not Poseidon, not the seven, not the commanders, not the primordials and not Chaos. But they know, they saw through his mask easily and didn't judge him but helped him and cared for him. They love him.
"Percy...my love..." Annabeth sobbed but once she finishes not a sec later there was a kunai 1inch away from her throat. She looks at Percy who stands in a position like he just threw something. Shocked she couldn't believe it. Her ex-lover just a kunai at her! Her! The person he loves so much! The person he considers family. How could her threw a kunai at a family member!
"That's a warning shot and I prefer if you call me Persues that goes for all of you. And you are not my love and not my family member. " Her previous lover said coldly and his eyes were cold with no emotion.
"Did he just read my mind?!?!"
"No, I did not"
"There he did it again!!!"
"You're just too easy to read, annabitch~"
"Man Percy you sure that's a warning shot and not you missing your shot?" whistled Void
"Than why don't you be my moving dummy to practice on, Void?"
"Yeah that's a nice offer and all but Nah the amount of time you spend practicing and how accurate you are is enough for me to pity the dummy already." The sins and Void all burst out laughing while Percy smirk.
"Hey, Perce wanna go for a drink? You always come here for missions never got to rest so let's go get a drink." Greed suggested
"Sure, after this meeting if I want to sleep I am going to need it."
"Yeah, you all can go first I am going to go get End."
"Yeah yeah you can't go anywhere without your love."Lust cooed while Void's face goes beetroot. Making the all of them laugh and continue teasing him till his face was as-if not more-red as a tomato.
They started making their way out of the throne room laughing and making jokes all the way. Ignoring all the other people bawling their eyes out in the throne room. Percy was the last to go...but before he left gave them a creepy grin and said
"Is a pleasure seeing you all again."
