Third Person POV
Thalia woke up in a large room much to her taste; the walls were black and silver, as if representing her favorite color and the hunter's signature color, with a few posters of Greenday, her favorite band. She sat up slowly, aware of the aching in her head, and noticed someone beside her bed. Thalia's heart skipped a beat as she noticed that the person had black shaggy hair and was much tanned. Thalia was ready to bet her life that if those eyes were to open, they would be sea green. Eyes that held so much love and loyalty! She thought.
Suddenly, the person stirred and his eyes snapped open, but just like Hecate had said, everything Percy used to hold in his eyes was gone. Thalia felt like crying; what could have been so bad to take away the good out of Percy? But the pity and sadness that had been weighing down her chest changed into anger.
"Perseus Jackson! What the Hell do you think you're doing? And you're okay with destroying our home?" Thalia demanded. Percy had no emotion in his eyes until she spoke, but as soon as the words left her mouth all that there was to see was pure Fury.
"YOUR home, Thalia! No one wants me there! Did they even bother telling you WHY I left?" Now Thalia was speechless; never had Percy Jackson, the Savior of Olympus, talked that way to anyone! Then she did something she had done many times before; she slapped him! If Percy's eyes could hold any more anger they did. Slowly, he raised his hand and right when Thalia finally understood what he was planning to do, Percy was about to strike, a man in a long robe decorated with stars, suns and planets appeared, grabbing Percy's raised hand.
The man had long white hair and managed to look young and wise at the same time. Thalia was stranded mute with the power of the man. Slowly he smiled and turned towards Percy and spoke in a hypnotizing silk like voice.
"Percy, we do not hit guests… especially not lovely young ladies!" Percy let his head down, but not in shame. When he looked back up he answered, "Yes Lord Chaos," And with that he left the room, leaving Thalia alone with the tall man.
Lord Chaos turned back to Thalia and smiled apologetically, "Hello dear! I assume it was Hecate who sent you here?" Thalia was stunned but was still capable of nodding in response. "Yes, I could tell. You see no portals are allowed to enter my domain without my allowing it. When I first felt her trying to gain access I was wary, but I have seen Percy lately and I realized if he is to rule like this it will be the end of the world. So I allowed them to throw whatever it was they thought would help."
"Sir, Lord Chaos… what happened to Percy? I mean… that's not him! I never thought it would be possible to take the good away from Percy." Chaos simply sighed and nodded, "Of course I will tell you what happened, my dear but it is a heart aching story!"
So Chaos told Thalia about how after being disowned Percy ran away, and Chaos watched over him for months, which was actually millions of years in his home dimension, just to make sure he was what Chaos wanted. Finally after a long while of struggling on Percy's side, Chaos finally made a decision!
*Flashback*
Percy sat in the creek trying to regain some energy, but it wasn't working; he didn't have any energy left to withdraw. So he sat there, a helpless meal to any monster or creature that was to walk by but his will to survive had dwindled and he felt he couldn't care less. Percy felt something off to his right, but it wasn't a monster or a presence at all… no it was more like power, he felt the power radiating off of a source. He took all his concentration and stood up just in time to see his dimension tear and a tall form step out. Immediately Percy bowed knowing this was the source of the power. The man gave a hearty laugh, and then took on a serious expression. "Perseus Jackson, I have watched you for longer than you could imagine and I wish for you to be part of my plan to remove the throne from the Olympians." The smirk that crossed Percy's face scared Chaos since it was truly sinister but he pushed the thought away and began explaining his plan.
"I, Perseus Jackson, pledge to make the world better place and to help you take the world from the hands of the Olympians. I swear on Chaos," When he said Chaos' name he looked up with an evil smile on his face, "And the river Styx to do so."
*End of Flashback*
Poor Percy, Thalia thought. When Chaos finished his story he let Thalia think it over a bit before offering her his arm and she took it as he led her to Percy out in the hallway. When Thalia saw Percy she charged into his arms, and she didn't realize she was sobbing until she felt the fabric underneath her skin dampen. She pulled away, slightly embarrassed as she wiped at her running mascara.
"I'm so sorry Percy, I had no idea… I-I don't even have anything to say. Nothing will help fix what I did!" Thalia found herself crying once again, but instead of answering he pulled her into a hug and it was her shirt this time soaking moisture.
Thalia sat under the large Pine tree her and Percy had planted the day she first arrived. While it had been almost only a day on earth, time passed faster up here so she had been there for about a whole year. The changes began taking place almost immediately upon her arrival; Percy said, if possible, she seemed more there, harder not to notice. Her hair had grown quite a bit so that it reached the lower part of her back, and her blue eyes seemed softer, calmer but more deadly. Suddenly a figure stood in front of her and Thalia smirked, opening her eyes knowing very well who the intruder was.
"Hey Thals," Percy stood in front of her with his hand behind his back. Thalia would usually have been suspicious but like usual she was caught up in his looks. Percy had on a green plaid shirt loosely buttoned with a white t-shirt underneath and black jeans. He looked nice and casual, and it caught her breathless. But when Percy brought out his hand from behind his back she almost passed out from lack of Oxygen.
There, in the palm of his hand was a moon lace, but not just any normal flower it seemed to be genetically altered; the stem of the flower was silver, including the leaves and the flower part was Black. Thalia gently took the flower from Percy's hand, as he went and took a seat beside her. Slowly, he leaned in and whispered, "Smell it," Percy's breath tickled the back of Thalia's neck but she did as she was told. The scent hit her like a brick wall, but once she realized what the smell was it was like landing in a soft meadow.
The flower smelled like a fresh sea breeze; clean and salty, it smelled like Percy and she loved it! Thalia turned back towards Percy to thank him, but instead she found him asleep on his back. Thalia sighed at the sight of him, and she made a decision. She laid her head on Percy's chest so that she laid beside him with the flower in her tight grip. Then Percy's hand moved as it started playing with her long hair, and he simply started singing to her.
Thalia loved it when Percy sang, it reminded her of a fallen angel; graceful and beautiful, but with danger and sorrow. In other words it was beautiful and melodic. After a while, Percy sat up and Thalia shifted her position so her head was still in his lap.
"Thalia, It won't be very long until the war." Thalia simply nodded, she had been counting down the days for the war for quite a while. She feared fighting her family, her home. But she knew she had never been this happy ever and she didn't want it to end. Besides Percy said that anyone that does not fight against him in the war will not die.
"Thalia, I won't be able to run the world… not by myself!" Thalia sat up and looked Percy strait in the eyes, "Percy of course you can… you could do a better job than the Olympians without any of their powers." Percy laughed and stood up holding out his hand for Thalia to take, and she did.
Once they were both standing, Percy knelt down on one knee. "Thalia, without you I would make unwise and rash decisions, before you came along I was ready to kill all those who hurt me. I would do a horrible job at ruling the world without you at my side; Thalia, will you be my Queen of Olympus?" Percy pulled out a case within sat a green and black swirl ring with a silver moon in the middle.
Thalia was too stunned to talk, and she didn't answer until she noticed Percy getting antsy, still on one knee. Starting slowly, Thalia started nodding then finally gave a squeal, "Yes Kelp-for-Brains… yes I will be your Queen of Olympus. Percy stood standing with a smile plastered on his face and he kissed her, pulling back only for one second to say, "You know, you're the first girl I ever kissed!" Thalia, confused, pulled away and asked, "But what about Annabeth, I'm sure you kissed her plenty of times!" Percy shrugged, "Sure, but none of them were my first kiss!" Thalia suddenly seemed to understand what he was saying and blushed, but he didn't seem to notice.
Their kiss was interrupted when they heard a very unhappy thunder and lightning down by earth, "Well it looks like your dad heard the new that his daughters engaged!" Percy smiled mischievously, but Thalia was just worried, "I don't know, I know he won't like who it is!"
"Aw, don't worry; Your dad will love having the enemy as a son-in-law!"
