Hi guys! Thanks for the support and follows of this story! This chapter might seem a little cliche as well, but I promise that it will be much different that all this 'Chaos Champion' stories you see of this site. Hopefully you all like it! Also, in this story, Keres, the god of violent death, does not exist, therefore Thanatos takes the place of that.
Thanatos PoV
I was at a meeting with Hades discussing how to round up all the escaped dead. When my doors opened, hundreds, thousands even, of souls escaped Hades' realm. We couldn't stop it, as I was chained and Hades was a bit occupied with his different aspect condition. I leaned back, remembering that young hero, Perseus Jackson. He brought me and my fellow minor gods respect, as well as helping unchain me. Who would try to save death? I thought. Wouldn't he want everyone to stay alive? All of a sudden, Hades stood up.
"Zeus requires my assistance" Hades said "Time to get revenge for the disrespect he has shown me" He muttered the last part. I scowled. Who was he talking about? Before i could ask, he was gone. Well, I thought I will find out soon won't I? I leaned back and awaited the soul to enter my domain. When I felt a young man's soul enter punishment, I smirked. Looks like he got on Poseidon's bad side, due to the three holes in his stomach.
I teleported to the Fields of Punishment to find a young male crying while being dragged to his punishment by Megaera and Alecto. I saw his punishment, drowning. I smiled, he would never die, because spirits 'live' forever in death. No matter what, he would never die. I took him from the Furies, I want to know who this was. When I turned him over, face up, and my eyes widened
when I saw who it was.
Percy PoV
I was pushed into the void by my ex-father, Poseidon, and felt myself die more by every inch i went down into that hole. I stared at my wound from my father, the blood flow had stopped, and dead blood sat in the holes. I felt as if I were to throw up. Finally, at the end of this void, I landed in the Fields of punishment.
I felt alecto grab hold of me and drag me to my feet.
"Megaera, help me drag him!" She Rasped "Have a good time in your punishment honey" I felt a strong presence behind me, one reeking of death. Thantos. The furies dropped me, and I landed face first. He flipped me over and his eyes widened when he saw me.
Thanatos PoV
"P-P-Perseus?" I sputtered. "Why are you here? You are a great hero" He did not respond. His now dull, darkened eyes were not focusing on anything. "PERSEUS!" I screamed. Yet he still did not respond. I looked closer at him. Fear. That is what had paralyzed him. He was in post-traumatic shock. I summoned a black blanket and put it around him. That should help. I turned to the Furies.
"Care to explain why Perseus Jackson is in the Fields of Punishment?" I hissed. "We do not answer to you Lord Thanatos. Only Lord Hades." growled Alecto. I decided that this was enough. I pushed my power to the limits, causing my aura to glow strongly. Due to my power surge, I felt 50 souls enter my domain. Oh well. I glared at them.
"Swear by the Styx that you will not tell hades of me saving Percy here, or you will be destroyed." I demanded as i stared them in the eyes. Once they all swore, I flashed back to Hades' palace. Hades was there, looking contempt with himself. I decided I would ask about Perseus later. Now i needed a replacement soul. I went to the overworld, and saw somebody who looked quite a bit like Percy.
I followed the mortal to his house and let him go inside. I turned myself into ghoul mode (AN: Think like Reaper's Wraith mode from overwatch) and followed him. I followed the man across the house until I saw him unbuckle his belt. He pulled it off and held it like a whip. He grinned like a madman. "Sweetie, can you come here?" he called. "Sure dad!" When a small girl around 8 years old came thundering down the stairs my eyes widened. She looked exactly like Bianca.
The man grinned and whipped her with the belt. As he continued to beat her, I got angrier and angrier until i exploded. I summoned my scythe. I left wraith mode and floated over to the was his time to die. Fates' decision or not. I cut upon him with my symbol of power and he instantaneously died and fell into punishment. That was the power of the scythe. I could send anyone anywhere in my domain without any punishment. I grinned and teleported back to the underworld.

Percy PoV
I awoke to find thantos looking over me.
"So he finally awakes. Hello perseus, why are you in punishment?" He asked questioning. I explained to him everything that has happened. He sighed. "Well child, I have an offer for you. To become my champion. I know it sounds lame, but you will have powers of a god." I scowled. "Sorry mi'lord, but how will that happen you will are a minor god?" "The power of death is strong Percy."
I looked at him. Everyone else has left me I thought Why not? "Okay lord Thanatos." I said. He smiled "Goodnight Champion" A beam of seemingly pure darkness hit me. It sank into my skin, my arms, my legs, my chest, everywhere. Just as a blanket of darkness overcame me, I thought This is gonna suck.
WOW THIS SOUNDS SO CLICHE. I promise to all my readers that this story will have a MUCH larger twist on it that a random Chaos champion story. It just needs to build up a little. I hope you all enjoyed! -SilverBlackjack1
