Chapter 6: Perseus's POV

I looked down at Thalia in my arms and couldn't be happier, I finally get to raise my baby girl, even if it is just for a few years. I look at my wife and see her holding baby Nicholas, or Nico and I think back to my previous conversation with him:

Flashback, a week before Perseus is out of Tartarus:

I slip into Nicholas's conscious, as he is asleep, so I can talk to him about the future. I look into his mind and see he is dreaming about Thalia. I push the dream away and he slowly turns to look at me. Once he sees me he immediately tenses. I show him I am not armed and he slowly relaxes his body.

"I just came here to talk, Nico. It's about the Gods, Thalia and the future." I say calmly.

"What about the Gods? How do you know Thalia? What about the future, and who are you?" he asks all at once.

"My name is Perseus, and I am Thalia's real father and her mother is Artemis…" Is all I can say before he interrupts me again.

"That's not possible, Zeus is her father and her mother is human!" he exclaims.

"I was getting to that if you would stop interrupting me." he nods his head in indication that I could go on. "Thank you, so it all started two years before the war ended in the fourth age. The titans and gods were in battle and neither was letting up anytime soon so I was sent by Nyx to try and help the titans win, but I refused. I was casted out into the war by Nyx who was hoping it would look like I was helping the titans and be killed. And that is almost what happened. I was severely injured by one of the gods and was left to die and my essence return to Tartarus for another millennia. Until Artemis found me, it looked like she was about to call the others but then thought better of it and hid me for the next month. She nursed me back to health and during that time we fell in love with each other. As soon as I was healed I told her I loved her and kissed her, she kissed me back and told me she loved me too. A week later I asked her to marry me with Apollo's permission and he agreed. A few days later we were secretly married in front of the primordial council. A little while later we found out Artemis was pregnant with Thalia, after she was born Zeus found out about her and us, he showed up at our cave and snatched Thalia away. I was still really weak from a battle a few days prior and was in no condition to follow him, but Artemis was devastated so I went after him. He fought me and subdued me and right before he tossed me into the pit he blessed Thalia to make her look like a spawn of he sky." I say

"How is Thalia still alive now, and what's does this have to do with the future?" he asked

"Thalia is still alive, because Zeus put a charm on her to make her look like a demigod when in reality she is a primordial. She aged slower and wouldn't start to grow up until about 15 years ago. Her full powers wouldn't be unlocked until my family is reunited. I am the heir to Chaos, she is the heir to fate, Artemis is the heir to Nyx, Apollo is the heir to Chronus and you, Nico, are the heir to Erebus. This has to do with the future, because there is a prophecy that a family, a father, a mother, a daughter, an uncle, and the daughter's soul mate will end then reign of the gods and will rule the world the way it should be, in peace and harmony, and we will come out victorious." I say

"Okay, but I need you to swear on Chaos that you are telling the truth." Nico says

"I swear on the name of Chaos that everything I have told Nico today is the truth and I want nothing more than what is the best for my family and the world." I swear

We hear a rumble and see that nothing happens to me so he knows that I am telling the truth.

"What do you need me to do?" he asks

"I will get out of Tartarus and get my family back and then get back to my palace. I will plant the idea of de-aging you and Thalia and then I will have her bring you there. After that we will raise you for the next few years and train you, ad when you reach the age of twelve we will tell you guys everything. Deal?" I say

"Yeah, deal." He agrees.

"Okay, Nico, see you soon." I say

"Bye." He replies.

Flashback end

As I am thinking back on that night I realize I will do anything to protect my family, and we will be the family that comes out on top.
