CHAPTER 11

Another Twist

PERCY POV

I trudged across the landscape for what seemed like hours. I looked up and saw a mansion but it was completely made of darkness.

I entered it there were many rooms but most of them were shut. I went towards one of the rooms to try and open it just as I was about to turn the knob I heard from behind me.

"I wouldn't do that unless you want to go mad."

"What do you mean?"

"This is the house of darkness there are things here that will make a mortal even if you are the son of Chaos go mad."

I turned around to see a man taller than me. He had completely black eyes and was wearing a all white suit. His hair was black and slicked back. I could feel the power radiating of him.

"Hello brother "

"Erebus"

I stated the obvious.

"That's me. So how is it like being the demigod son of Chaos"

"Well monsters still chase me. I am not immortal and I also have pretty much ability to control most elements to a extent."

"Impressive cone now me and Nyx have been waiting for you"

We entered a room and somehow I knew it was at the centre of the house. It was pretty big but the decorations were simple. The walls were very in colour and there were a few bean bags sprawled on the floor.

As I was looking around I heard a voice

"So you must be my new little brother."

I turned around to see a beautiful woman.

She had pale skin and luscious black hair. Like Erebus she too had black eyes. Her body was thin but muscular.

I then said

"I assume you know what I am here for."

"So you do know that if we give you our blessing you have to do something for us."

"Can't you just do it for family sake."

Erebus just chuckled

"That's not how things work kid."

"So what do you want."

"Nothing at the moment but you will owe is and when the time comes we will call in the favour."

"So what does your blessing exactly give me"

Nyx said first

"My blessing will make you stronger at night. You will also be able to see perfectly in the dark and your stealth will become better on the dark."

Then Erebus said

"My blessing will allow you to change your age whenever you want"

After that they both gave me their blessing. I thought it would hurt but surprisingly it was not painful.

I then asked Erebus

"How exactly do I change my age?"

"You just have to think about the age you want to be and you will become that age."

"Just one last thing can you transport me back to my friends."

I was engulfed by darkness and when my vision cleared I was almost at the edge of Tartarus.

I walked back just in time to see the other two waking up.

"What happened"

Annabeth asked.

"You both got too close to Tartarus and you fainted fro your fear.

Luckily both of them seemed to accept this and we then started moving towards Hades's palace.

Hades was sitting on his throne and then Mark said

"I will do you a favour and not kill you if you give me my mother back."

I looked over at Annabeth and her skin had paled.

Hades on the other hand just chuckled and them released his entire power. I could feel it bearing down on me. Mark and Annabeth on the other hand were pushed down to their knees.

I knew if he had his helm he would be even more powerful.

I then said

"That's enough uncle H just release Sally and I will get you back your helm."

Fine once I get my helm I will return her back to her home."

I looked at Mark and he gave the pearls to everyone.

We steeped on them and were transported to the beach where Athena was waiting for us.

She said

"I have to say I am impressed I didn't expect you to survive"

Mark then said

"Unfortunately for you I did and now I am going to kill you."

"I have no interest in fighting a weakling like you I want to challenge the son of Chaos."

Mark didn't listen and charged Athena easily sidestepped and then hit him in the head with the flat of her sword."

I then manifested my sword and started walking towards her.

Last time I had faced Ares but this time I was facing Athena which made it a whole lot more difficult.

I charged at her she sidestepped and tried to swipe at my back but I blocked it at the nick of time.

I the swiped at her legs but she jumped and kicked me but he chest I was pushed a few feet back. I called on my power of shadows and as she was charging towards me I tripped her.

As she was getting up I ram at her with my sword she tried to block but I threw a knife made of shadows straight at her arm. This made her drip the sword and then as I was about to run her with my sword I heard Annabeth yell

"Don't"

I just ignored her and stabbed Athena.

She was just the first of many Olympians who was going to fall.

I then shadow travelled to the Olympian throne room leaving Mark and Annabeth behind.

When I reached there I saw that only Zeus and Poseidon were there and Athena's throne in ruins and Zeus was staring angrily at it. He then noticed me. He looked like he wanted to say something but I just threw the bolt at him and left.

I then shadow travelled to the underworld and gave Hades his helm back.

I was now just waiting for Luke to reveal himself as the thief.

The day finally came Mark was poisoned but unlike me he couldn't even kill the scorpion and instead Chiron had to kill it.

I was waiting for him to reveal that Luke was the lightning thief but the he got up and said

"It was Annabeth"
