Chapter 1: The beginning of the End
Percy was expecting, and actually waiting patiently (something that would have been foreign the the demigod a year ago) for the messenger to arrive at his house in Camp Half-Blood. The youth was riding a small horse, and was sweating heavily from the trip from Trox to here. He brought the usual message: The rest of Percy's group was ready to once again start exploring, and they were waiting for him to join them. So, with a heavy sigh, the son of Poseidon, and one of the most powerful demigods leading the raid on the seemingly endless caverns, got his light armor and sword ready, mounted Blackjack (who was complaining about how tired Percy was nowadays), and headed to the Entrance to Tartarus.

"We've been waiting for an hour. What's your excuse this time?" Percy was greeted to as he walked into the large and elegant house, that of course belonged to the girl who was currently chewing him out for being late.
"You know, it's just a 10 kilometer distance between here and my house. Not long at all." Percy retorted with a sigh, as Lou Ellen rolled her eyes at him while Will, Silena, Beckendorf and Cecil laughed silently at the scene playing out in front of them.
"Then get a house in here." Percy started to open his mouth, but Lou was faster. "I don't care that it's a little dark. This place has its own little, or should I say huge lamp that circles around this ridiculously large cave."
They were currently in Trox, the only city built in Tartarus. It had 20 foot high and 4 feet thick walls of obsidian, could easily house the 900 people that lived here, and was built on a weird sloping hill that looked over the enormous cavern, in which the gods put a huge ball of fire, that rotated and moved exactly like the sun. It was a fortress that had been built with the help of gods, and stood no chance of being destroyed by anything except gods.
Percy sighed, knowing he had no choice but to stop arguing against Lou. She could make even the gods shut up with her way of words, and insults.
"Now come on." Lou said as she reached for her staff and sword, and the others picked up their own weapons. "Lets do this."
