A/N: Sorry for updating late. Now, read.
Chapter 2
The throne room of Mount Olympus shook with power as the Greek deities yelled at each other.
Meanwhile, a small group of immortalised demigods sat in one corner, watching their parents bicker like children.
Among them sat many familiar faces, but one had clearly had taken part in neither the Second Titan or Giant Wars. He sat there, with a cocky look on his face as he held Annabeth's hand. This boy was Nathan Arvia, the immortal son of Poseidon. The leader of Camp-Half Blood.
The demigods were shaken out of their stupor when Zeus slammed his master bolt into the ground as he took notice of the demigods in attendance. "SILENCE!" he bellowed. "Now let us focus on the matter at hand. Demigods, what are you all doing here? I do not remember calling any one of you here, neither does the council. State the reason for your presence." A blond boy stood up, a roman gladius in his hand. "But Father, someone did. We were told to come here. If it is none of you, then who is it?" he spoke. This was Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, Immortal Praetor of the Twelfth Legion Fulminata.
"I did." A feminine voice rang out, wielding power and authority, yet full of motherly gentleness and love. All turned to find a beautiful woman standing in the centre of the throne room. Her dress looked like it had been cut from the very fabric of the universe itself. Galaxies and nebulae swirled within it. Chaos herself had come to the throne room of the Olympians to inform them of the upcoming threat.
Of course, Zeus, being the arrogant fool he is, pointed his master bolt straight at Chaos and roared. "Who the hell are you? Answer me before I send you to Tartarus immediately!"
Chaos laughed. "You? Send me to Tartarus? What a joke. I believe that I am the one with the power to send you to Tartarus the hard way, Zeus, not the other way around. I created Tartarus itself. Don't test my patience with your arrogance, Zeus." Her demeanour had changed dramatically, going from being gentle and affectionate to downright terrifying within moments. Her words seemed to echo in the throne room.
At the second last sentence, Athena's eyes widened. Chaos, she mused. What could have brought her here?
Chaos cleared her throat before Zeus could respond. "I believe your daughter, smart as she is, has figured out who I am. Mind telling him, dear?"
"Father, lower your bolt. This is Lady Chaos, the first Primordial, the creator of the universe. Use your senses, Father. Can you not sense the power she exudes?" Athena nearly chided her father. Zeus gasped and lowered his bolt. "My apologies, Lady Chaos. I did not know it was you. To what do we owe this pleasure?" Zeus asked. His tone was, for once, almost respectful.
Chaos smirked internally, taking pleasure at how Athena had scolded her father and put Zeus in his place. "I bring grave news. My son, Erebus, is rising. He has amassed many monsters, and he has gained allies who are not of your kind. He has alongside him monsters of Norse and egyptian descent. As I speak, I am informing Odin as well as Horus, their respective King and Pharaoh. Erebus plans to take the world, and intends to begin by taking you down. He believes that you all are the least smart of the major pantheons that guard this world, and for once, I do not feel very much like disagreeing with him. He will attempt to destroy you and take your domains, before he attempts to take the Crowns of Lower and Upper Egypt, and then, attempt to destroy the most powerful of the gods involved, the Norse. He wishes to begin Ragnarök. To let the Nine Realms burn, and take control when the worlds rise anew." she spoke. There was pin drop silence in the room. Chaos smirked as she watched Zeus' mouth open and close like a fish. Then he responded.
"Why did you yourself have to come here to inform us of that, Lady Chaos? I believe that you would not have come personally if you were not to offer some kind of help. You, of all immortals, should be able to judge the power Erebus holds and send us the help we need." Zeus asked, in a rare show of intelligence.
"Full marks, Zeus! I have four very capable individuals on this planet who handle threats. They mostly work alone, but their abilities do complement each other. I have had them work together, but much like the Greeks and the Romans in the Second Titan War, they did not know it. They will arrive in Camp tomorrow, from all four directions. As for how to treat them… well, just don't annoy the one who comes from sea. He has good reason to not be very… considerate for your health. His other aspect, at least. Other than that, they should have the skill to help you. If you have any questions, take it up with them. See ya!" Chaos vanished in a swirl of black light, leaving many of the Olympians gaping.
Next chapter, the assassins will be arriving. Sorry for not updating for so long. I have really good reasons... they are called exams and Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso! Anyways I will try to update faster in the future. Preferably once a week.
Also, do tell me in the reviews, should I make chapters longer, with more time skips? such as including the horsemen's arrival in this chapter? Do note that longer chapters mean that I may take up to 2 weeks per chapter.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
