AN: Hi Girls and guys! I hope you enjoyed last chapter! Thanks to everyone who reviewed and I hope you enjoy. Congratulations to no one for guessing where Percy is going, or his plan! (only ReaperOfOaths guessed) Enjoy!

Chapter 12- Nyx

Percy POV

I sigh, I did not want to go back there, but I know that it must be done if we want to win the war. I must get Nyx to help us. According to Zarcrix, Nyx is really bright and friendly. I wonder how she will react to having a mortal, especially one she's seen before, enter her private property.

I get up off the chair and walk towards the big tree sitting at the corner of the yard, and sit under the shade. I didn't know how to ask Nyx to help us. It would be very difficult, and there is a chance I would be obliterated.

I walk towards the path, hoping that Annabeth has seen some sense, and had started heading back to camp Half-blood. No such luck. Annabeth was still outside the forest, I sigh. Of course, she would wait until I was forced to approach her. I duck back into the forest, towards Zarcrix's hut.

"Hey Zarcrix, can you come down here?" I ask awkwardly.

A flash of light flashes next to me, and Zarcrix appears.

"Yes?" he asks.

"I have a plan to help the demigods, and it involves going to Tartarus and attempting to get Nyx on our side." I say.

"Nyx already is on our side" Zarcrix says.

"No, I mean try to get her to fight for us" I say in annoyance.

Zarcrix laughs and says; "Do you want me to teleport you to Nyx's mansion, or are you going to go on another adventure that requires me to rescue you all the time?" he asks.

"Nope, I am not going on an adventure through Tartarus, you can teleport me please?" I ask.

"Sure" Zarcrix says with a laugh. "When?" he asks.

"I'll call you" I say quickly.

"Ok then" he says and vanishes to wherever.

I smile in spite of myself, but then nerves begin to tingle in my stomach. I must go to the mansion of night, to try and get Nyx to fight for us. Wait, couldn't I just get Zarcrix to do that? I think.

"Hey Zarcrix I need to ask you something" I say.

A flash of light later and he was standing next to me again.

"Yes?" he asks.

"Couldn't you just go to the mansion of night and convince Nyx to help us?" I ask.

"No way! I couldn't do that, I mean, seriously, me? Asking my own daughter for help? That's ridiculous! Nyx would never let me live that down! You are definitely going to ask, I am going to make sure she doesn't even see me, then I'll see her later." He says, slightly shocked, slightly amused.

I shake my head, of course he wouldn't do it himself because of embarrassment. BANG! I jump in shock. Then I realise Zarcrix had just added a sound effect into him teleporting, probably just to scare me. I roll my eyes and start thinking of a plan I can use to make Nyx believe me. I could go down there, and then tell Nyx something she wants to here, like a chance to get Ouranos back for cowardly pushing her into Tartarus. Nyx might agree then. That was really all I had, my only offer would be revenge on Ouranos.

I sigh and walk inside the hut, I grab my backpack in case I was in Tartarus a while, and packed plenty of food and water. I decide to travel to Tartarus tomorrow. It is better to travel to Tartarus as soon as possible, to give Nyx more time to work out how to get out of Tartarus, because according to Zarcrix, Gaia and Tartarus were binding her there, but the binds were weakening as Nyx began to fully wake up from her enchanted sleep put on after Ouranos pushed her in. She could never really be forced to go to sleep, but her ancient power was returning, so it would be best to go before she completely breaks the bonds.

I pack a couple of throwing knives as well, in case I needed to fight from a distance, but it was unlikely I would have any chance against a second-generation deity.

Third person POV Mount Olympus

Zeus sat on his throne, wondering how long it would be until that coward Jackson was found, so Craig could kill him. The other gods were sitting upon their thrones, whispering about unknown things, well unknown to Zeus that is.

Poseidon was whispering quietly to Hephaestus, who seemed troubled.

"- yes, Zeus has been acting even weirder and dumber than normal" whispered Hephaestus.

"Should we visit Hecate, and see if she can do a subtle scan on him, to see if he has been bewitched?" whispered Poseidon.

"You know, for once I agree with you" whispered Athena suddenly.

Poseidon jumped out of his skin and fell off his throne none to gently. Zeus looked at him oddly before going back to his musings.

"We should visit Hecate, maybe she put magic on him?" offered Hephaestus.

"Perhaps, but maybe it was Craig? He has been very suspicious lately, anything he asks for is immediately given by Zeus" whispered Poseidon.

"Yes, but that is normal for Zeus, because he always believes he is the most powerful, therefore his son should be powerful to, as is the way of Zeus" Athena whispered.

"We should visit Hecate then" Hephaestus whispers, and the three of them flashed out to Hecate's home.

Zeus looked surprised at the sudden disappearance of them, but said nothing, and he was wondering how long it would be until Craig came here with a master plan on how to catch Jackson.

Ting! The elevator doors went, and Craig stepped out, looking confident as ever.

"Father" he said. All the other gods looked at him, hoping for a source of entertainment.

"I have come up with a masterful plan that we can use to provide more evidence that Jackson is a traitor to these gods who don't believe that Jackson is a traitor. We can prove that Jackson is working against us using this plan" he says.

Percy POV

I shake myself, nerves and fear causing me to sweat all over. Now was the time I am meeting with Nyx.

"Zarcrix, I am ready" I say, taking a deep breath.

"3" a robotic voice says out of nowhere. "2…1…" it says. Then I feel a pull in my naval, and I feel myself being transported, down, down, down and suddenly my feet were standing on the sharp ground of Tartarus. In front of me stood the gigantic mansion of night. Fear grips me and nearly makes me turn away in fear of trying to talk and negotiate with the embodiment of night, someone more powerful than Gaia.

I take a deep breath of horrible, toxic Tartarus air, and step towards the mansion and to the main gate. I see a massive brass knocker, which I slowly knock with three times. Then I wait. Eventually, a massive monster answers the gate. "Little mortal, why are you here? Are you here for the feast?" it asks hopefully, obviously hoping I was part of the meal.

"I am here to talk to Lady Nyx" I say boldly, and with much more confidence then I felt.

"Do you have an appointment?" the monster asks, none to nicely.

"Umm…No? Maybe under the name of Percy?" I ask nervously. Maybe Zarcrix had done me a favour and set me up an appointment. I couldn't believe they actually did things by appointments at the mansion of night.

"Yes, there is an appointment under the name of Percy" the monster says, confused and disappointed. The gates swing open, allowing me entrance to the large mansion. I walk towards the door, passing the guard monster. I use another brass knocker to knock on the door. Surprisingly, Nyx herself answered it. I wince as I see the long bonds around her legs and arms, the bonds went for ages down the hallway, seemingly with no end. Nyx looks around confused for a moment, and then looks down at my tiny form compared to her.

"And who might you be?" Nyx asks, her eyes narrowing.

"I am Percy Jackson" I say, my voice cracking at the end. Nyx was huge, and radiated power, even more power than I had imagined, and I had imagined far more power than I thought possible.

"And what do you want?" Nyx asks, apparently not seeing me as a threat.

"I have come to you with an offer, and a desperate plea of help" I say fearfully.

"Go on" Nyx says, seeming to be remotely interested.

"Well, Gaia, Tartarus and Ouranos are rising, as well as possibly Pontus. And 75,000 monsters. We only have a few hundred demigods, and even the gods are no match for 4 primordials and 75,000 monsters." I say.

Nyx immediately begins to frown, and I quickly continue. "You can have revenge on Ouranos for pushing you down here." I say.

"Yes, Ouranos, that coward that pushed me down here when my back was turned. And Gaia and Tartarus to you say? Well, I suppose, but I would need something else in return." She says.

"What should you like in return for helping us Lady Nyx?" I ask respectfully.

"I would like to be able to go back to space, and to my universe, because once I defeat Gaia or Tartarus, I will no longer be bound." She says. "Although, it would be very difficult for a youngling such as yourself to arrange my method of transportation without me having to teleport." She says.

"I can arrange that" I say boldly, while keeping to myself that I would try to get Zarcrix to help me with that.

Nyx looks at me in surprise, then says; "Very well, I shall fight alongside the pesky gods, but you must honour your side of the deal."

"I shall" I say.

"Now be gone!" Nyx says.

"Yes, Lady Nyx" I say, bowing respectfully.

Third person POV Mount Olympus

Craig had come up with the idea of having all the gods centre their powers to examine Tartarus, so they could get evidence. Craig obviously actually believed Percy was working against them. Athena, Poseidon and Hephaestus were summoned back to help. They just happened to be scanning Nyx's mansion when Percy was there, talking to Nyx. The gods gasped in disbelief, Percy was working against them!

Percy POV

As soon as I was outside the palace and out of sight, I was flashed back to Zarcrix's hut. As soon as I was there I take a deep breath of fresh earth air, thank goodness that worked I think to myself. And thank the gods its over I think to myself.

The primordials didn't know what they had coming.
