Chapter 4

Hey Guys! I'm here with another chapter! I have to admit when I say that I never thought my story would be this popular and it warms my heart when I hear your reviews. Especially one from Dinklebergc3, thanks for the words of praise, I'll be honest you gave me the best laugh of the day when I read it, it inspired me to write another chapter right away. Anyways last time we picked off Percy was officially cast into Tartarus by Zeus and his band of corrupt duche bags, but what or who was that presence that got into Percy? Well we will find out. Also I would wish for you guys to leave comments on what other couples would you guys like to see in this story other than Percy and his harem (Artemis, Aphrodite, Piper, and Thalia). If I get more than one pairing for one character like Apollo/Hestia or Apollo/Zoe and I can't decide between the two than I will try to make a poll and let you guys decide.

And so lets get this show on the road folks!

The Man in the Star Spangled Tux

Percy POV

Hell. The word has been used in two different ways. One being the slang that people use now a days like when they start yelling at each other or when you injure yourself badly and start sprouting out curses like a sailor on a bad day. The other being the name of where most people believe one would go when they die if they were evil or a bastard. A place where the souls there are tortured beyond belief, where monsters lurk that wish to gut you and destroy your very soul and being, a place that houses the worst of humanity and tortured by the grand puba incarnation of evil that you would give anything not to be in the same room with.

Where was I going with this? Oh Yeah! The whole definition of Hell and such. Well you can say that those two definitions of the word would PERFECTLY describe the situation I'm in and my life in general. Except that I'm not evil or dead.

I've been falling for a very long time down the hole that Olympian's tossed me into. It was just like the first time I went into Tartarus. It was dark, the only source of light was the trails of red running along the abyss. If I didn't know any better I would say that I was being eaten by a giant man. I could feel the impending sensations of Tartarus approaching, the acidic air, the dark presence, and the faint howls and screams of the monsters that lie down below.

But I didn't pay much attention to the impending doom that was coming. No, all I felt was rage. Pure unbridled Rage. I was cursing and yelling out so many Greek Curses that even Arion and Blackjack would be impressed. And all that was being directed to a few people. Well several people actually. Zeus, Athena, Ares, Dionysus, Hera, Demeter, Zane, Ryan, Annabeth, and my former father, Poseidon! They did this to me! They cast me from the world to spend eternity in the Pit. Why? Because I wouldn't accept godhood! I know the very thought of refusing a gift like that not once, but THREE times is ludicrous. But if you were to face the same decision, would you? Would you leave your closest friends behind, would you leave your own family behind to live forever, to watch as they slowly age and ultimately die without you and never see them again? Yeah thought so.

Anyways, I refused their gift and even though I protected them from destruction TWICE, fought, bled, shed tears, felt pain that a normal teen or even adult would never experience in their lifetime, and had to suffer the pain of watching your closest friends and family die right before YOUR EYES, they DARED ACCUSE ME OF BEING A THREAT?! I always thought the gods were the better evil, the only other option besides the Titans and Gaea. Now I see them as something just as bad, maybe even worse. At least with the Titans and Gaea, humanity would have had a fast death, but the Olympians just slowly torture them, abuse them, and toy with them as if they were tools and not care for the destruction they left in their wake.

What's worse is that they don't just do that with the mortals, they do it on their own kin. Their own brothers, sisters, relatives, allies, and children. They would mistreat their demigod kids by just ignoring them and using them for their fame and make them fight their wars while they just sat back and get drunk. They imprisoned their own Titan allies after the first Titan war, seeing them as threats, even an innocent girl that only supported the Titans because her father was one and she was scared. They even imprisoned their own MOTHER! Then they mistreat each other, arguing among themselves for even the tiniest disputes like losing a magic glowing stick and accusing it on their brother's kid despite said kid not knowing anything about them. They threaten each other, fight each other, they even caused discreetly some of the bloodiest wars in history such as the Trojan War, the Civil War, and even WWI and II!

I'm right now someone who has seen and heard all the things they have done and I still fought for them because the world would burn if I hadn't helped. And I still don't want to destroy them. Not all of them anyways. There are some that have seen and understood their faults and tried to redeem themselves, to become better than before. They were those who stood behind me in my darkest hour and I can't repay them enough. Besides if I destroy Olympus than the West and civilization would be destroyed and that would include my friends and my only family. But yet I still yearn to rip the corrupt gods' heads right off their necks and stick'em on a spike. They killed my parents, they turned on me, and I will find a way to free the world from the plague they cause.

I snapped out of my killing rant to hear the monster sounds growing louder and louder, I looked at the thick red mist that was coming, signalling the entrance to Tartarus. I thought I would never lay eyes on that wasteland again, but apparently the Fates just love using me as some kind of soap opera. What would I face down there? I mean, I have made enough enemies to fill Noah's Arc! Which of them would have reformed enough to hunt me? Perhaps, the Minotaur because he always revives quickly. Or the Manticore, I'm sure Dr. Thorn would love to turn me into a giant pin cushion. Maybe even Lycaon, he could either rip me to shreds or try to make me into a servant and a werewolf. I shivered at the thought. 'Who could ever think of me as a werewolf!'

After finishing my thoughts, I closed my eyes, waiting for the inevitable, ready to take on whatever the damn Pit can throw at me. At least, I won't have a whiny bitch to stop me or slow me down this time. I would find a way to survive. I would destroy anything that tries to come after me. I would find the Doors of Death again, even if it took me a THOUSAND YEARS! Whatever it takes to get out and bring down Zeus.

I could feel myself right next to the red mist and was ready to open my eyes to the nightmarish land known as Tartarus...expect I never did.

Instead I felt myself not floating or falling. I was on a smooth floor, not a black, rough, spiky ground like the Pit's. It felt like I never even fell into the Pit at all, except for the slight ringing in my ears. Then I opened my eyes and found myself definitely NOT in Tartarus. I was in a dark, black room, the walls depicting the history of the gods and Titans, I knew enough paintings to what they looked like, but there was also stories of other things. I saw pyramids and weird people with animal heads, one even looked like a combination of a jackal and an anteater. I saw a tree with nine circles on different branches that looked as if they represented something. One circle was filled with fire, another with icy mountains, another with a forest, one with normal buildings, a cave with crystals in another, another with skulls and bones, bright clouds and a sky in another, one with mist, and one that looked like a golden castle. There was also the bird, stag, dragon, and a squirrel(?) depicted on the tree. Were these, different mythologies? I decided to investigate it more later and look around the room some more. Did I mention that there were giant thrones in the room too?

How could I have miss them? They were the most biggest and by far the most bizarre thrones I have ever seen, even compared to the Olympians. They were 15 thrones, each 30-feet tall and and 15 feet wide, in a U-shape formation, like the Olympian's but slightly more spaced out because of the sheer size of each one. In the middle, like where Zeus would be, was a throne that seemed to have an entire galaxy in it. It was like water bed, except it was a throne instead of bed and the water was replaced stars, suns, nebulae, and comets. To the right of the throne made of space were two thrones made out of pure darkness. It made me shiver just looking at them. To the left of the space throne were two thrones made entirely out of water, the closest to the space throne having ice as the armrests. To the left of the two water thrones was by far the creepiest throne out of all them, even the ones that were made out of darkness. It was made out of Stygian Iron and some other kind of metal that looked similarly to steel. It had depictions of monsters and torture all over the throne and at the top of the head rest, fire sprouted like a hot rod and there was also Hydra horns masted on the head rest. To the left of this throne was a pure golden throne. It had clocks lined up on the sides and a giant clock with an hourglass at the top of the headrest.

In front of the golden and creepy throne, adjacent to the thrones of darkness were two thrones so white and bright that I had to squint just to look at them for a minute. They seemed to contrast between the two dark thrones, these two seemed to radiate pure light that I wondered how cold and dark it would be if those two thrones weren't next to the dark thrones. Adjacent to the white thrones was a throne that looked like an exact copy of Zeus's throne, minus the golden eagles and pompous bastard. It was made out of stormy clouds and crackled at times with lightning. To the right of this throne, was a rocky, brown throne filled with, well rocks. At the headrest it was spiky and jagged like a mountain. In between the two previously mentioned thrones was a pile of rubble, as if a throne once stood there. By any indication from the rubble, it would have been a more deep brown and it seemed to be represented of life because there was dry, dead grass and plants in the rumble.

At the other side of the stormy and rocky thrones, next to the golden throne were two similar, almost normal thrones. One was dark pink and purple and had a quiver on one side of the throne and an a bow on the other. It also resembled like a love seat. The other one was a plain and simple throne, colored deep purple, and the only weird thing about it would be the red and blue names that would appear and disappear occasionally around it. The throne next to the purple one was a grey simple throne, that seemed to produce an eerie mist. I could faintly hear whispering voices coming from the throne, but it was too low for me to hear. And the final throne, adjacent to the brown, rocky throne and opposite of the grey one, was by far the weirdest throne of them all. It was one-thirds made of water, one-thirds made out of metal, and one-thirds made out of multicolored water. Then I realized that those multicolored waters weren't just any kind of water, it was the Five Rivers of the Underworld! There was blank white for the Lethe, the river of forgetfulness, rusty red for the River Acheron, the river of pain and torture, dark blue for the Cocytus, the river of woe and sadness, dark black for the River Styx, the river of oaths and hate, and fiery water for the Phlegethon, the river of fire, obviously. Together they made the weirdest room I have ever been in, and that is saying something!

I looked around some more to see if anyone was here or if there was something here that may give me a cue as to who these thrones belonged to, who zapped me here, and why. There was nothing else expect for the night sky that showed the constellations. I smiled when I saw the Huntress, and here I thought that I wouldn't see it for long while. Other than that pleasant sight there was nothing else that was here besides weird giant thrones, weird paintings, and fiery torches.

I thought 'This is freaky. Just where the hell am I?'

"I can answer that question" said a deep voice.

I jumped and instinctively drew Riptide and turned to where the voice came from. I was greeted by...myself?

In front of me, standing beside the throne made out of space was an older version of myself. Same messy black hair, same tan skin, and same snarky smile. Beside, the indications that he was older like longer hair in a ponytail, slight wrinkles, a trimmed short goatee, and taller height, standing at about 6'8, he seemed like an exact copy...well except for his suit. The suit was the same as the throne next to him, it seemed to house an entire galaxy in it, the same stars and suns that the throne held. In my weird head, I though that if he painted it red and white, he would have looked like he was wearing the star-spangled flag of the U.S.A.

"Huh you mean like this." He said in a deeper voice similar to mine. He then snapped his fingers and his suit changed from that into a suit that looked like the American flag. At the same time, the sounds of the American national anthem started playing. I was startled at that, along with the realization that he just read my mind.

"Well of course I read your mind, I created it." He said, once again reading my mind.

"Please stop doing that, its creepy." I said. "Who are you and where the hell am I?"

"Fine," He said in a sighed toned. "I just wanted to mess with you a bit." He snapped his fingers once more and the music died down and his suit became as it was.

"No offense but I think I've been messed with enough for one day." I said, my tone showing obvious rage and annoyance.

"I know." The man said, his deep voice turning into a neutral tone. "I saw what happened to you, Perseus Jackson. I know you may not wish to hear this but I truly am sorry for what happened to you, this was not how your life should have gone."

I raised my eyebrows in confusion "What do you mean?"

My older copycat said "Just like I said, this wasn't supposed to happen to you." He walked toward the big throne and placed his right hand on it, the other hand in his pocket. "From what I understand it, you were supposed to live a happy, normal life with your girlfriend, live in that house up the hill in New Rome with the sword arena, surprise your girlfriend with the proposal and get married. At least, that is what the Fates SHOULD have done in the first place. when he said that you could hear the gritting teeth and growling tone.

"Wait. Are you saying that the Fates messed with my, well, fate? They are responsible for this?!" My rage was once again starting to boil again at the thought that those old hags did this to me as well.

The man said then "For the most part, yes they did but not entirely. You were always one that the Fates found difficult to control. I suppose with you being so unpredictable and powerful, it made your fate hard to shape."

I stood there stunned. This guy seemed to talk about the Fates as if he knew how they worked. This guy also seemed to know everything about me and my plans when Annabeth and I were going to get married. Of course it never happen but it seemed that he saw everything. I lowered Riptide subconsciously and asked once again "Who are you?"

"Really?" The man asked in a snarky, somewhat surprised tone. He turned to look at me with a playful smirk,similar to mine, and said "I thought even you would have realized it by now but then again I suppose that you weren't exactly taught about me much. Anyways to answer your question, Percy, I'm the Creator of the Universe."

... ...

It was silent for a while. I was standing there like I saw Medusa's eyes and was turned into a statue. My brain went blank as all irrational thought in head just flew out the window. The Creator of the Universe? Yeah and I'm Harry Potter.

"You kinda are." The so called Creator of the Universe said, for the fourth or fifth time reading mind. "Same black hair, green eyes, deadly adventures, supernatural monsters and challenges, and painful difficult life. It's almost like he is your alternate version, well at least he IS on Earth 7."

"Wait what?"

"Nothing!" He said quickly, a little too quickly. "Anyways back on the subject on hand, you don't believe me do you?"

I said "Well you have to admit it seems a bit unbelievable."

"Point taken." The Creator said "But never the less what I say is true, Perseus Jackson, I am the Creator of the Universe."

"How do I know you aren't lying." I asked, still unconvinced that he is telling the truth.

"Well I obviously since I can't read your mind again or summon something like any other god I guess I will have to actually do this." He then snapped his fingers and a flash of light occurred. When my vision cleared I found myself strapped to a roller coaster seat and what looked like a million different kinds of duct tape strapped onto the chair to the floor. At first thought that he had captured me but the Creator said "You might want to hold on tight for this." I turned to find him beside me, leaning onto my chair until he clapped his hands twice and in front of me appeared...a black hole. Not like a black chasm or pit, I mean a Literal BLACK HOLE! It seemed more like a black ball that was sucking the air out of the room and everything else. The roar was so loud that f I wasn't hanging on to dear life I would have clasped my hands around my ears to silence the noise. I noticed that the millions of duct tape were ripping off rapidly from the chair and flying into the hole. I started panicking thinking that I was about to die any millisecond now. Just at the very PRECISE moment when the chair started to lift up Mr. Creator clapped is hand a third time and then hole and the chair simply vanished and left me on the floor. "Have you seen another god do THAT." He said. I turned towards the guy with a completely shocked look on my face. "Ha Ha Ha Ha!" He started laughing "Oh you look like Moses when I lit that bush on fire and spoke in my ancient deep voice."

I picked myself up and finally said "OK I believe you. But if your the Creator of the universe, then does that mean you are God, as in capital G God?!"

"That is what I have been mostly referred to at least." He said nonchalantly. "Although I have been referred to as YHWH(Yehuwah) or Ra for the Egyptians, or for you, the Greeks and Romans, Chaos. But please just call me what you feel is easier and don't start bowing, appreciate the gesture, but as they say I'm not an arrogant God."

"Um, sorry. Well um I guess maybe I should stick with Chaos. Anyways can use please tell me where we are and why you look like me?" I asked nervously.

"Perfect." The newly dubbed Chaos said. "Well first off I look like you because I wished to be in the form that best suited you, secondly we are in the Throne room of the Primordials!" When said that last word he threw his hands into the air and sounds of 'Tada' sounded across the room. I almost wanted to smack my face but thought that may be a little rude and suicidal to offend the Lord of all Creation. Then my mind finally registered what he just said. I then looked at the room once more, finally realizing who the thrones belong to, and started coming up with different possibilities as to why I'm here, each more terrifying the last. 'Since Chaos is Gaea's father and I killer his daughter is he here to kill me? Is he here to torture me? Am I going to be tortured by all the Primordials for all eternity?!'

"Nope. Nope. And Nope." Chaos said.

"Stop reading my mind!" I said, only to pale in realization that I just yelled at FUCKING CHAOS!

But instead of him going all angry, smiting Lord mode he just started chuckling. He then said "Fine fine, I can respect a man who wishes for some privacy and can stand up to me face to face. Last person to do that was Lucifer."

Ignoring the comment and finally having enough with this weird nonsense, I yelled out "Can you please tell me what the hell is going on!"

Chaos stopped chuckling, cleared his throat and said "Yes, well I see that you need answers and I shall give them to you. Would you mind seating, this might be a shocker." He gestured his hand to me to which I looked behind me to notice a black chair. I sat down and he spoke once more "Where was I? Oh Yes, why you are here. Well that will deserve some background information. Tell me Perseus do you know how the universe was made?"

I answered "Well, there was nothing but you until the Big Bang?"

(I will let you guys imagine all this, but just imagine this as a flashback with the scene returning to the present place when Percy speaks.)

Chaos said "Yes, in the beginning, even before there was a beginning there was only me and me alone. People would think that all there was a sea of darkness or just a never ending land of white, but well I can't exactly say it clearly without shattering your mind but there was just me. But I got lonely, I wanted to share my love, joy, and happiness with others, so I created the universe. I created a massive explosion of power that formed everything. I created time and space as the first parts of my grand image of the universe. Time was the first to be created, and from that I created darkness and light, the day and the night, white and black. But then everything became in-balanced, for there must always be an equal and opposite force to one thing. For example there was me that everything and the nothing that there before the universe. So to balance everything I created space, matter, anti-matter, stars, planets, everything with shape. A perfect balance between the cosmic forces was made, time and space, that which you can see and touch and that which you can't. I created worlds and galaxies. But it wasn't enough for me. So I created a reality far from time and space, which you humans would call Heaven. There I created the angels, beings of pure power and light that if a human were to look at something so pure they would be disintegrated. They were my soldiers, my army, my children. But I craved more, so I made other beings equals to the angels, the Primordials. There was first Erebus, the Primordial of Darkness, then Tartarus, the Primordial of the Pit, then Nyx for the Night, Gaea for the Earth, Eros for Love, and Chronos for Time. They didn't had domains at that time for I haven't finished the Earth yet and I still needed to work. I made different dimensions like Heaven, like a kaleidoscope of the universe, until I created the multiverse, millions of worlds each vastly different from the others, in few ways and some drastic ones. I then started to create the one home planet that I cherished out of all others. I made the sky, the sea, the earth, and nature. I made the solar system that the Earth resides and the moon and sun. And so I thought that was good but it wasn't enough so I made animals, birds, fish, mammals, reptiles, bugs, and so much more. I even created a species of sentient, rational beasts sworn to protect the universe. The Dragons. They were giant, powerful, if not more powerful then the Primordials and each with different powers. I thought it was all well. The Primordials took up domains to keep charge of over the Earth. Erebus and Nyx took the Darkness and the Night. Gaea took that of the earth and Eros took love. Chronos took charge over time and Tartarus took care of a dimension that I made for him, one that was himself the land and sky, the Pit."

I shuddered involuntarily at that. "I then made all the other pantheons and let my children be, to see what they would make of this world I made. The Norse made there home in the north and thrived in the Nine worlds of the World Tree. The Egyptians went to sands of Egypt and made their home in the Realm of Ma'at. The Polynesians, being humble went to the small islands. The Native Americans went to obviously America and the Aztecs and Mayans went with them but further south. As for the Primordials, they lived, found love in each other, and new Primordials were made. I made new Primordials such as Anake, the Primordial of Fate, Thalassa, the Primordial of the Seas, and Hydros, the Primordial of Fresh water and Special waters. With the union of Chronos and Anake came Phanes, Primordial of Procreation. Erebus and Nyx married and with Phanes and my help with making Procreation, they gave birth to Aether and Hemera, the Primordials of Light and Day. With my help, Gaea made two Primordial sons and one daughter, known as Ouranos, the Primordial of the Sky, Pontus, the Primordial of the Oceans, and Ourea, the Primordial of the Mountains. Pontus and Thalassa were married, as well as Gaea and Ouranos, Aether and Hemera, and Hydros and Ourea. They then made offspring with a different kind of immortality that I dubbed the Titans. Everything was at peace and was well, but I felt that there was something missing. So I then created Man. When I created Adam and later Eve, the first humans, it was perfect. They were like me in every aspect and maybe better. Everybody agreed with me, even the Primordials, Dragons, and Angels...except for one."

"Satan." I said. Chaos nodded, his face no longer cheery or happy, it wasn't even mad, it was a sad, depressed face, like one father would have when he lost his son. "Yes. Lucifer, the most beautiful and my most loved Angel, spoke out against me. He spoke how the humans were filth and how they were a flaw against my perfect creation. He turned some of the angels and Dragons to his side and when I ordered him to stand down, he wouldn't and I had no choice but to banish him from Heaven."

I interrupted and said"No offense, Chaos but if you are supposed to be All Knowing, how come you never saw this coming?"

Chaos looked at me with a guilty, pain filled face and said "That is the thing, I always knew he turn out like this. I always knew he would turn into the Devil. I wished I could have prevented it but I knew that whatever I did it wouldn't change his fate, it could have made it worse if I tried. I created the dimension of Hell where I cast him and his followers down there, with a warning to not intervene with the humans or grave consequences would follow."

"But he still did it, didn't he? He made Adam and Eve eat the Forbidden Fruit, help cast them from Eden and eternal grace and sin came into the world, right?" I asked.

Chaos answered with "He did more than just that. He had a few of his strongest fallen angels go and open the vessel to where pure evil lie, where darkness, despair, and fear all manifested which I buried and locked when I created everything."

My eyes widened in horror and realization when I understood what object he was referring to. "Pandora's Box."I said.

Chaos nodded his head and said "The humans called it that but it was actually called the Chest of Nightmares. It was unable to be opened unless an mortal and immortal sinned. With both immortals such as Lucifer and Man sinning the lock on the chest was broken and when it was opened, true evil was unleashed. Sin, temptation, malice, despair, jealousy and more negative emotions started to rise and grow inside the hearts of the Primordials, Titans, other pantheon deities, Dragons, and even the Angels. A few more sided with Lucifer but most held strong and remained loyal. In the end, humanity Fell, a Great war between us and Lucifer arose. Any chance of redemption was snuffed out and his heart grew blacker than pure darkness but in the end we won, yet the world was splintered and changed. Major extinctions and world catastrophes occurred. The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was the finishing blow I made that knocked out Lucifer. In punishment for this atrocity, I created an impenetrable prison to lock Lucifer and his most powerful allies away. As for Adam and Eve, they were safe at the time for Eden was protected from all the calamity through magical means. But I cast them from Eden and transported them to time in the future where the Earth fully healed from the catastrophes, and humanity has lived in sin and destruction since then. As for the realm of the gods, it was decided that they would split from each other and separated so a war like that should never occur."

"The Primordials fell in sin as well, their hearts grew darker and they manifested evil versions of themselves inside them yet they fought to keep them at bay. Gaea and Ouranos however fell the hardest. With the opening of the Chest of Nightmares, monsters also came into fruition. Tartarus volunteered to use the Pit as a prison for the violent, evil monsters. But the Primordials and Titans created new monsters such as Nyx creating hellhounds or Gaea and Ouranos creating the Hundred Handed Ones and the Cyclopes. Ouranos cast them into Tartarus thanks to the growing evil and created Kampe to guard and torture the monsters, evil or innocent, in Tartarus. To regulate all the chaos I had to leave someone in charge of all this, so I chose Ouranos to rule over the Earth in my absence. I help create the different pantheon Underworlds and heavens, each to regulate on the beliefs of the mortals and to keep the godly pantheons separated. But in my absence something terrible happened, Gaea betrayed Ouranos and had Kronos chop him into pieces. Kronos took hold as King of the earth and before I could notice and intervene, Gaea won a bet from Anake and forced her and her children, the Fates, to prevent me from interfering. Gaea became too consumed with the evil in her, to which she infected upon most of the Titans. Gaea fled into the Earth from me and the Primordials to escape punishment. I was powerless to intervene, so I had the Primordials and Dragons to assist me in retrieving the pieces of Ouranos. However, an unexpected reaction occurred with Eros when he tried to retrieve a piece in the ocean, an from that piece came Aphrodite. I had Eros talk with her on hiding from the Titans as they would exploit her for her beauty. I revived Ouranos from the rest of the pieces and was forced to watch events unfold, neither me or most of the other Primordials able to act."

"I was pleased when Zeus and the gods overthrew the Titans and hoped it would be the betterment of the Greek Pantheon. So I went and focused on my chosen people and the events that would occur in the Old and New Testament. I would visit the pantheons time and time again to see how everything was going. However when I returned, I found that the Greek Pantheon was far worse off than I could ever imagine. I found that most of the gods were corrupt in power, greed, rage, and lust. I found that they have created more monsters and atrocities than the Primordials and Titans combine. I found that only a small percent were not entirely corrupt, such as Aphrodite and Hestia. I was disappointed and more gravely concerned with Gaea's return and the First Giant War. I did the best of my abilities to help the gods, because as bad as they were they weren't as evil as Gaea, yet. I watched through countless years as mankind and god-kind would slaughter and destroy one another, and only a few following the right path. I watched as the gods of all pantheons became disordered by evil and good, and I couldn't help because of the Ancient Laws. Until I had the idea, if I and the Primordials couldn't be able to help fix this mess then someone outside them can. So I searched the globe to find one who is pure, selfless, and powerful enough to help but found my search fruitless. So I decided to make my own warrior of truth. I found your mother and you, when you were still a baby and looked in your future. I saw one of pain, sadness, and danger that no demigod has ever faced and yet you would still be humble, loyal, and selfless. So I blessed you and gave you the power you needed to be my champion."

I was dumbfounded with all the information that I have received. Not only did I hear the true story of how the world and Creation was made and that the other mythologies and religions were real AND that God is real, but that he just said that he blessed ME to be HIS CHAMPION! My mind nearly went into a meltdown hearing that. I replied with "Wait, you made me your champion?!" He nodded. "Why?!"

"Because I saw how you would be the savior of the gods and humans alike twice against not only my grandson but my daughter and how you would even traverse into Tartarus to help save you friends and family and I knew you would be right one. You, Perseus Jackson, are by far the most powerful demigod in existence, with power that could possibly match the Primordials and yet you are also the most loyalist, humblest, and true of heart of not only demigod kind but of mankind in general. I saw you as someone who can help save this world where I cannot, who can improve the lives of demigods, and destroy the corruption and evil that plagues Olympus."

As shocked as I was to hear this, my mind picked up on something else. "Did you know what would happen? Did you know that the gods and Annabeth would betray me?"

Chaos had the same look of guilt and sadness that he had when he talked about Lucifer. He said "Yes I did, and like Lucifer I was unable to intervene and like Lucifer, I am filled with shame and guilt that I couldn't help you or warn you enough."

That last part got me and my mind burst in realization as to what he meant. "Wait, it was you wasn't it?! You were that instinct or feeling I got when I felt something off for the past year, you were there when I was walking towards Annabeth and Ryan. You were there when I got betrayed by the gods. You were that presence and you gave me the info about the oath to you!"

Chaos nodded "I tried to be there for you, to comfort you, from the pain. I wished for you not to suffer all the humiliation, pain, and suffering that happened to you. I only wished that I could have done more. So, now that you are here, I humbly ask for your forgiveness, that you may forgive me for not saving you from the betrayal."

Is there any way that I could have been more shocked and dumbfounded then I already was? Yes there was. The Creator of the Universe was ASKING if not PLEADING for my apology?! Am I sure I haven't gotten psycho?!

I looked at Chaos and found no lies or anything resembling that of deceit. I said to Chaos "If what you say is true about all this and that I'm actually all that humble, there was no better form you could have taken because I never met a person quite as humble and kind as you. I forgive you, Lord Chaos, but you don't need my apology for there is NOTHING to apologize for. You couldn't intervene if it was destined to happen and you couldn't help because you were blocked by the Ancient Laws. You did nothing that requires my apology, if anything I should apologize to you for not believing you of telling the truth."

"No apology needed. You are not the first to not believe me. I had plenty of that as Christ." Chaos said.

Once again reminded that he is Lord Chaos, I then thought of something and asked him, my voice emanating hesitation and fear "Lord Chaos, I have to ask, aren't you angry that I killed Gaea, your own daughter? Aren't you made that I made her fade?"

Chaos sighed, and looked towards the pile of rubble. That confirmed it that that throne was Gaea's. Chaos spoke in a sad voice "No, Perseus I'm not angry. Though I am sadden and will forever be saddened by her death, she was too corrupted by the darkness inside her. She was consumed enough back during the First Giant War but after the defeat of the giants and the Titans by your hands, along with humanity destroying and polluting nature for millennia, any trace of the good side of her was extinguished. There was no other way. Instead of being mad, I am grateful that you put Gaea to rest, to quench the darkness inside her. I can since her in the Realm of the Faded right now, thanking you for destroying her evil essence."

I looked at the throne with shock, as I just imagined Gaea laying upon the rubble, her evil nature gone and looking like a true Mother of Nature. I almost couldn't imagine her looking at me with a beautiful smile, her eyes shining with gratitude and joy. 'Thank you.' a familiar and beautiful voice rang out. What startled me was that it came from the image of Gaea. I blinked and shook my head to see her gone and wondered if it was just in my head or if she was really here. I turned towards Chaos to see him looking at me with a smile. "So all this is true?" I said. "I didn't just went insane, about all this information or me being your champion?"

He responded with "Yes. All of it. Speaking of which, I just remembered something I need to ask you formally. As I have said before, I sought you out because I wished for someone who can bring down the corruption that haunts Olympus and restore balance in the godly world. I ask you now will you help me, Perseus? Will you help me bring down Olympus's evil and save your friends and the godly world? Not just for you to gain your revenge, but for you to serve as my angel of justice and to help me redeem the truly sorry and help the innocent?"

I froze, thinking of the offer that Chaos just gave me. Even after all the effort he did on turning me into his champion, comfort me in my darkest hour, and practically groom me to be a force of good, he STILL ASKS me for my help? I guess he is the real deal! My mind then shifted towards the matter of getting my revenge against the Olympians. The very thought of them made my blood boil. With this I can have the means to rid the world of them. But mostly, I can see all my friends again, especially Piper, Thalia, and Nico. I can see the good Olympians, like Artemis and Aphrodite. I can see my sister again.

I looked towards Chaos my mind made up and said "Lord Chaos, I accept."

He smiled brilliantly and nodded and said "Thank You Perseus Jackson, oh wait sorry Percy, I almost forgot that you like to be called that."

"No." I said. "I don't want to be called Percy anymore. The name has always been a way for me to hold on to my mortal life, a reminder of being my mom's son. But that's all gone now, so I wish to be just called Perseus."

Chaos nodded is face neutral, making it hard to see if he was alright with that or concerned. He then spoke "I understand. Very well, Perseus, before I can officially call you my true champion and start your training to overthrow the gods, I have to call up some people for you to meet. It is time you got to meet them officially."

I looked at him confused and asked "What do you mean? What people?"

Chaos smirked and raised his hands around the room and said "Why the Primordial Council of course."

AND SCENE!

Well guys there goes another chapter that I hope you guys enjoyed. I read the reviews about how the chapters may be a bit too long and how I should split future chapters in half just to make more chapters and I decided to go with it. This was at first, in my head, suppose to be as big as the other chapters but I decided to split it in half and write the other half later. By the way, how do you guys like the title? I wanted a 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' book chapter title kind of one, make it so you guys are confused and intrigued. Please be free to review you thoughts.

And I'm sorry if this is another 'Chaos' story. I know its overused but I thought it would be a great piece for the story. I promise you (and apologize to those who like Chaos) that he will not be to focused on for now. He will come up more soon. Also, to all those who are currently speaking out blasphemy at me for comparing God to Chaos, I'm sorry but I wanted this to be a way to tie the whole 'almost every pantheon and religion exists.' I know that there is only one God but just think of this universe in an alternate universe where God actually made the pantheons. But still I'm sorry. And if it seemed a bit rushed, I had other important school and future college things that took my mind of this thing for a while.

As for the rest of the story, what did you guys think of the origin story of the universe? What do you think will happen at this Primordial Council? Who will they be? And WHY DO I KEEP MAKING THESE QUESTIONS THAT I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWERS TO?! All good mysteries that most will be answered. And I must say this but if any of you think that there is pieces of this story that seemed unimportant or just comically there, I have one thing to say about that: Don't. Nothing in this story was unimportant and everything will have a point later on down. (Cue creepy smile) Just wait and see!

Anyways guys please share your thoughts and review, sorry for anything cliche, and helpful tips will forever be appreciated.

See ya later guys! ZAYDEN OUT!
