Percy POV, Right after he light traveled out.
I light traveled right into the bed in my house because I was drowsy and wanted to sleep. When I fell asleep I felt my mind being swept away into a demigod dream.
The throne room on Mount Olympus appeared in my vision and I saw the gods having a meeting, I listened in and was suprised that they were looking for did Jack not corrupt them yet? Hmm somethings feels wrong here.
After another five minutes of listening to the council my mind was pulled down. Down, down, down, so far down I'm pretty sure I'm in Tartarus by now. I looked around the cave and everything was bathed in a low red light. Yep, definitely Tartarus. I looked around and saw two people that I thought I'd never see again and one person I've never seen before. Kronos and Gaea were standing there yelling at each other while the other man was sighing in exasperation, after a minute I could finally hear their words.
"FOR THE LAST TIME MOTHER, I DON"T WANT TO FIGHT MY CHILDREN ANYMORE! THEY'VE EARNED THE RIGHT TO RULE BY DEFEATING ME TWICE! I RESPECT STRENGTH AND THEY SHOWED STRENGTH!" Kronos yelled.
"WHAT ABOUT YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS? WHAT IF THEY STILL WANT TO FIGHT!" Gaea yelled back.
"SCREW THEM, I'M DONE! AND BESIDES, YOU'D JUST GIVE THE WORLD TO YOUR OTHER CHILDREN, THE GIANTS, LEAVING US IN THE SHADOWS!"
Gaea summoned a new sword, not like the earthen ones she fought me with. Why didn't she summon those? This sword radiated a lot less power than them. Kronos also summoned a basic sword. They began to fight. Maybe when I took their domains I took their weapons of power? If Kronos really doesn't want to fight the gods anymore, then maybe I could lend him the scythe? I prayed to Kronos.
"Yo grandpops" I mentally prayed to him.
"Jackson? What do you want, I'm fighting right now." he replied.
"I know, I can see because demigod dreams, and if you swear on your immortality everything I heard you say was true I may be able to help you."
"I swear upon my honor as a titan and my immortality that everything I said in that conversation is true"
I heard a crack of lightning which sealed the deal. I mentally pictured Kronos' scythe in his hands and it appeared. He seemed really suprised for a second before smiling. Gaea saw the scythe and her eyes widened. Kronos was able to cut off her arm before she flashed out. I prayed to Kronos one more time.
"Yo grandpops if you wanna help me out and just live in the upper world come to this location" I said as I sent him a mental picture of my camp. After sending the location my mind was pulled up. Up, up, up, so far up I think I might be in space. The only thing I saw before waking up was a pair of bright, electric blue eyes Zeus could never hope to match.
I woke up with a start and quickly got out of bed. I walked downstairs pondering some things. If Kronos accepted to live here than I would have someone to help me with the scythe but that's all Kronos really knows, from the sword fight with Gaea he had that I saw. The sword looked really awkward in his hands. I needed someone to spar with using a sword, maybe a spear too. Hmm, who would I be able to convince to be my sparing partner? Maybe... nah not him. I wonder, yeah that might work. After I made up my mind I had breakfast with my family before fire traveling away.
I arrived at the Garden of the Hesperides for the third time in my partially immortal lifetime. I started walking through the garden when I was stopped by the Hesperides, huh, I'm getting some deja vu here.
"You have some nerve coming back here Half-blood." The eldest looking one said.
"Again, what do you mean again? This is my third time here." I replied.
"What, you never came back before now!"
"Yes I did, and here's proof" I said as I pulled out a golden apple.
They all gasped and one yelled "How did you get that! Ladon hasn't been hurt at all!"
"Oh no, I didn't fight him, I fought his big brother"
"Ladon doesn't have a big brot-" One started before I cut her off by summoning Ladon 2.0.
"Hesperides, meet my pet Ladon 2.0" I told them before turning to Ladon 2.0 "And you can go play with your little brother."
Ladon 2.0 had what was supposed to be smiles on all of his heads before walking off to the tree and started playing with regular Ladon.
"Hey Hesperides can you watch after him while I'm up on the mountain?"
The eldest one questioned "Why do you need to go up the mountain?"
"I need to speak to your pops, I have an offer for him."
The Hesperides looked between each other like they were having a mental conversation, which they probably were, before the youngest one came forward and said "We would love to look after him, take your time."
I thanked them before starting to walk through the gardens, they really were beautiful if you had time to observe them and weren't being chased by a hungry, hundred headed dragon. When I finally made it up the pathway to where Atlas was holding up the sky, I saw him and the ruins of Mount Othrys.
I walked up to Atlas and yelled" Oi Atlas!"
"What do you want Jackson? Come here to brag and watch me suffer?" He replied.
"No I have an offer for you."
"What kind of offer?"
"I can get something to hold up the sky if you swear upon you honor as a titan and your immortality to never go against me, my wishes, and my rules."
"I swear upon my honor as a titan and my immortality that if you release me from my burden I will never go against you, your wishes, and your rules."
When he finished the oath I heard a crack of lightning and summoned and earthen pillar below Atlas pushing him out of the way. I then Used some magic on the pillar to be able to hold up the sky. Atlas, after being pushed out, collapsed on the floor panting for breath. I quickly picked him up and fed him some ambrosia and nectar.
"So Jackson mind telling me why the Olympians let you do that?" Atlas asked.
"Oh they didn't. I ran away because of betrayal and I needed a sparing partner who could keep up with me" I replied.
"Well you came to the right titan for that, I can fight for hours courtesy of my domains"
"Oh and if I'm not in the mood for fighting grandpops is gonna live there too"
"Wait Kronos has a physical form?"
"Yeah in a dream last night he was fighting verbally Gaea because he thought the Olympians earned the right to rule from beating him twice and Gaea wasn't happy with that. They started fighting physically and I could tell Kronos would lose because the sword looked so awkward in his hands. So I made him swear on his honor and immortality that everything he said was true and when he didn't become mortal I summoned his scythe to him."
"Wait you summoned his scythe to him?"
"Oh yeah forgot to tell you I somehow took Hyperion's, Kronos', and Gaea's domains when I defeated them. Maybe it has something to do with riptide, it's the weapon I used to kill them all."
"That is pretty cool Jackson."
"Okay stand still and I'll light travel us to my camp."
I light traveled us into my camp and saw that everyone was in the arena practicing swordsmanship and teamwork against the automatons. I started talking to Atlas as we walked there.
"Ok Atlas as of right now my family here consists of James, son of Nike, Julia, daughter of Hypnos, Arcai Blaize, Son of Astoria, and Alex Kast, daughter of Thanatos" I said.
"That is a pretty diverse group of people you have here" He replied.
"Oh and I would appreciate it if you would help me with weapons training since you have millennium of experience."
"That's fine, besides I'm indebted to you for freeing me."
"Nah, you're not indebted to me as long as you help out around here. Oh and I'll be back in a few hours, I need to go build you a cabin."
"Alright Jackson I'll go evaluate their skills and start training them."
"Thanks Atlas, see you in a few hours."
"See ya."
I started walking back to the house and when I reached it I started building Atlas' cabin right next to it. It was roughly ten feet to the East of the house and their would be a hallway connecting them when I finished. I first started on the frame of the house and once that was finished, started dividing up the space into rooms. I gave Atlas a spacious bedroom, a personal kitchen, and a personal lounge if he didn't want to hang out in the main lounge. It took me roughly three hours to finish building it and then I started putting magic in it. I enchanted all of the rooms to materialize whatever you think of where you want it. It took me an hour to finish the enchantments. The only ones who could activate it were me(because I made them) and Atlas(because it's his cabin). Once I finished it I did the same thing on the other side of the house because Kronos also needed his own cabin.
When I finished it was about 4:00 PM and I felt a disturbance at the borders so I went to investigate it. When I reached it I saw Kronos trying to push his way through the border and I yelled "I Perseus Jackson give Kronos permission to enter Camp Demigod!"
When I said that he went straight through the border, stumbling a bit because of the sudden non-resistance. I walked up to him and said "Hey grandpops, I wasn't expecting you so soon."
"Well Jackson when you're in Tartarus for over 3,000 years, you kind of learn where all the exits are. Now care to explain how you summoned my scythe?" He replied.
"Yeah about that... I kind of somehow stole your domain when I killed you"
"What, then how come I can still manipulate time?"
"You can?"
"Yeah, watch" He said as he suddenly aged a sapling into a full grown tree
"That's weird, because I can manipulate time too" I said as I turned the tree back into a sapling.
"Hmm that is indeed strange, Any other domains you have but sort of don't have?"
"Yeah I have light from Hyperion and Earth from Gaea. I also apparently now have control over your symbols of power."
"Well that sucks, as you know I'm not the best in any weapon but the scythe."
"Wait I have an idea" I said as I summoned the scythe. I started concentrating and thinking about having another copy of the scythe so I could dual wield, at least that's what I told it. Through some form of voodoo creationy magics I was able to duplicate the scythe, enchantment and all.
"I Perseus Jackson give my second scythe to Kronos permanently as a symbol of power!" I said.
A golden light surrounded the scythe before it flew into Kronos' hands and he started swinging it around.
"Well grandson I don't know how you did it but you managed to make an exact copy of my scythe, thanks for giving it to me."
"No problem grandpops, It's your best weapon and I need someone to teach me how to wield the scythe. The only two people who use it are you and Thanatos."
"Then grandson you have just signed yourself up for scythe fighting classes every other day."
"Thanks grandpops, Let me show you to your cabin."
I walked to the cabins and house while aimlessly chatting with Kronos, he told me how terrible a mother Gaea was and I told him how terrible a person Jack was. Kronos was mad at Jack for convincing the demigods that I was bad and mad at the demigods for believing the lies. I guess he can be a caring grandparent sometimes. We finally reached his cabin and walked in. He noticed how bare it was and voiced his thoughts.
"Grandson, this cabin is kind of empty." He said.
"Well grandpops I enchanted it to create any furniture you want because I don't know what stuff you like" I replied.
He had a look of realization before trying it out, I saw a grandfather clock appear in the corner. I started walking out before I said one last thing. "Oh and grandpops, Atlas is here too if you wanted to say hello."
When I walked out of the cabin I started walking towards the arena to see if my family accepted Atlas. When I arrived I saw them all doing different exercises under Atlas' watchful eye. I yelled out to him "Oi, Atlas!"
"Yes Jackson?" He asked.
"My grandpops is here if you want to say hello, He's in his cabin materializing the furniture."
Atlas nodded in understanding and called out that training was over for now. I started walking back to the house to get some food before I was sucked into the air by high speed winds.
Hey guys I just want to tell you that if you have any side adventures that you want Percy to go on just suggest them to me and I'll see if I can add them.
