CHAPTER 13

FAVOURS

AN: So this is the revised last chapter. Most of the starting is same only the ending is a bit different.

So if you want skip the starting.

PERCY POV

After getting over my shock the first thing I did was go to find Luke. I knew he would be teaching sword classes classes in the arena.

When I got there, there were tons of campers huddled around to get a better look at something. I asked a demigod what happened, " I don't know, people are saying Luke got surrounded with this black glow, and then he fainted" he replied. Walking away as discreetly as I could, I made my way to my cabin. Dad, I need some guidance right now, I prayed. The room darkened, and a misty portal opened in the middle of the room. I gave him no time to speak, as I was firing off questions of my own. " Why was annabeth the lightning thief? Why was Athena the one who betrayed Olympus? What happened to Luke and why didn't he steal the bolt? Wh-" Chaos cut me off. " Time is different every time you change it Percy, The fates have learned of our Journey through time and are not pleased, you must prepare yourself for the coming changes, and most likely the coming storm.

"Why is Annabeth the lightning thief and what happened to Luke?"

"The fates changed a lot of stuff since Athena was the god who turned I assume she ordered Annabeth to steal the bolt and as for Luke I checked his memories and he isn't affiliated to Kronos so I returned his memories. So you should probably go talk to him and recruit him"

I nodded and then he opened a portal and left.

I went to the infirmary and went to Luke's bed. I saw nobody was there so I cast a barrier of darkness around us so nobody could enter or hear or see anything.

Luke slowly woke up and then saw me. His face was immediately filled with guilt. He said

"I am sorry Percy I hope you can forgive me"

"Its fine it's all in the past atleast you did the right thing."

He looked at me gratefully and then said

"Thanks. Firstly why are you so young and how in the Hades did i get here."

"This is going to be a long story"

I started telling him everything that had happened after his death. When I got to the part of Annabeth cheating on me a portal opened.

Dad said in my mind

"Tartarus has called in his favour."

"But what about Luke?"

"Take him with you."

I told Luke to follow me.

As we entered the portal he asked

"Where are we going?"

"Tartarus"

"What!"

We appeared outside Tartarus 's palace and as we were walking in I have Luke a brief version about what had happened between me and Tartarus.

We reached in the throne and Tartarus was sitting on his throne.

Luke instantly bowed.

Tartarus sighed and said

"Stop bowing to me it's awkward"

"So why have you called me"

"Just a few hours our brother Phanes left for the realm of the faded and I need you to recover his immortality for me"

"Huh:

"Phanes is a Primordial and he was on Tartarus when he faded. When a Primordial fades two orbs of power one the orb of their domain and the orb of their immortality. Phanes was the primordial of nature when he faded two orbs manifested. One was a green one with his power and the was a black one with this immortality. I need you to retrieve the black one for me the green one you can have."

"No offense but if he is in Tartarus why can't you just retrieve them yourself."

"Like gods are not allowed to take the weapons of other gods directly its the same for primordials."

"How will we find the location"

"I will give you a map. Oh and one more thing there will be a lot of monsters there attracted by the aura so you will have to fight your way in."

As we headed towards the location on the map I told Luke the rest of the story.

At the end he said

"I didn't know Annabeth could be like this."

"Well I am almost grateful that she did that now I know who my real friends are. On that note we are here."

I saw there were two orbs floating and around them were around a hundred monsters of different kinds and in the middle flying was Kampe.

We did the one thing that came to our mind, we charged.

Luke took about half the monsters and I took the other half and Kampe.

I sliced a Cyclops in two and then I saw Kampe flying toward me she threw her scimitar at me I dodged and it hit the hellhound behind me.

I had a idea I summoned the weapon Tartarus had given me I attacked Kampe with it she dodged but it nicked her tail.

At first nothing happened and I thought I had been conned but the the monsters attacking me turned and started attacking Kampe.

She was caught off-guard but she was still strong and started overwhelming the monsters. I summoned a spear made of shadows and threw it at her head.

It hit on target and Kampe dissolved.

The monsters now only about 10 or so turned and charged at me I easily killed them. I looked to see Luke had already handled his share.

I went close to the orbs and saw there was like an outer layer containing the power but I could still sense their immense power.

I took the green orb and crushed it in my had. In an instance green smoky tendrils entered my body and I could feel my power increase I would have to go back to the surface and test them out.

We took the black orb back to Tartarus. Then I asked dad for a portal back to camp. I dropped Luke off at the chaos cabin and started going to the arena to train.

I had to get ready for the quest to the sea of monsters and hopefully get the blessing of a few more primordials.

I decided to go to Thalia's tree. As I reached there I put a hand on the trunk and whispered

"Soon you will be out of that tree. Just wait for some more time."

THIRD PERSON POV

As Percy turned and was heading back to the camp, he didn't notice the cloaked figure staring at him from across the border.

The figure looked at him and whispered to himself,

"Soon I will have my revenge, brother."
