Dream/Underworld

Percy's POV

Erebus primordial God of darkness, I tried to think of all the stuff I knew about him, he's older than the Titan's, he the brother of Gaia, Tarturus, and he was married to Nyx goddess of the night. He was one of the original offspring's of the creator of the universe Chaos, so why in Hades was he in my body. "Erebus how did you get into his body" Hades yelled at him, Erebus chuckled "Well you see Hades, as it turns out when you take impure river Styx water, and that evil hell fire of yours, and just a little bit of my darkness. You have made the perfect vessel for me, because if it weren't for you upgrading his Achilles heel he wouldn't have been able to host my body. I had to take this opportunity to make an escape from this prison you call the underworld, but you understand don't you Hades" he said smiling.

"Erebus I will tell you once to leave the boy's body, if you don't then you will face my full wrath" Hades said standing up, his eyes flashing with energy and hellfire burning off his hands. "Oh Hades, when will you learn" Erebus said, turning around and I watch as the shadows around him made him a dark blade, it was about 3ft long and it had a silver shine around it, the handle was wrapped in pure black leather, with a spiked chain wrapped around it. Hades called forth his sword of Darkness and his Helm of Darkness, he stepped down from his throne, and the two started circling each other.

Erebus charged first, he brought his sword up and swung it with such power the ceiling split above where the sword was raised, Hades blocked with his sword and pushed him back, Hades charged at Erebus and fake a swing to the right, then head butted him with his Helm of Darkness. I could see the energy that had been stored up in the Helm released; Erebus was thrown back across the room into one of the pillars in the back, the pillar smashed to pieces on impact covering him under the rubble.

"It is over" Hades said looking at the pile of rubble, I thought he was right until I felt the ooze connecting me and Erebus tighten, "Hades look out" I said just as Erebus popped out the rubble and charged at Hades, Hades turned around and was able to block the attack. "How are you still able to move, you should be paralyzed with fear" Hades said in shock, "Hades you fool, you forget who your enemy is, I am Erebus primordial God of darkness and son of Chaos, your silly Helm of Darkness will not work on me" Erebus said kicking Hades in the stomach, making him fall to his knees. "My power might not be fully restored, but I still have more than enough to deal with a pathetic God of the dead" Erebus said picking Hades up by his throat and lifting him into the air.

"Any last words for I make you fade from existence" Erebus said as he raised his sword to Hades throat, I couldn't let this happen, I had to do something and fast. I knew that if Hades was destroyed the Underworld would be in complete Chaos, I took all my strength but I stood up and charged Erebus, I would have pulled out Riptide but this was still in a dream world and I didn't have him with me. He was about to pierce Hades throat, when I tackled Erebus, Hades dropped to the ground clutching his throat. I started punching Erebus over and over again, but all he did was laugh and laugh.

I knew that I couldn't keep him like this for long; I had an idea a risky one. Erebus kicked me off him and I flew across the room, he got up and turned around to just barely dodge Hades sword. Erebus round house Hades in the face sending him crashing him into his throne destroying it, I couldn't get up again my body wouldn't move. I guess I have no choice, "Erebus get back in my body now" I shouted, then I started concentrating on pulling him back into me, "Incompetent demi-god, my power far exceeds your I go back into my body when-" I started sucking him in, he was slowly being dragged towards me. "What? How is this possible? I am Erebus, my power should far exceed you a mere demi-god" I smirk as I heard him yelling, "That is no ordinary demi-god Erebus, he is the hero of Olympus, and slayer of Kronos. He might not have the power of a God, or the strength of Hercules, but one thing that he has that other hero's lack is courage, he doesn't fear you Erebus" Hades explain to him.

I smiled at the compliments my uncle had said about me, I know I would get hell for it later. Erebus was still struggling to break loose; he was now trying to cut the connection between us with his sword. It was no use; he was already just a foot apart me, I grabbed the ooze in my hands; I looked at Erebus and smirk. "Your mine" I said and with one last pull, he was sucked inside me, I fell to the floor tired from absorbing Erebus back into my body. My uncle came and helped me up, he looked at me with sad eyes, and "Thank you Perseus, you have taken a huge sacrifice to save me and my realm" he said to me. "Yeah, I just surrender my humanity for the greater good, but I'm a hero and that's what we do right" I said looking down at the cold ground.

He could tell how much it bothered me that Erebus could take over my body again and do something like I did to the Romans, he touched my fore head with two fingers, "I think I can help you Perseus" he said, then I was in a lighted up chamber way. Hades appeared next to me, "Lord Hades where are we" I asked confused, "Well isn't obvious, we are in your mind her said", "Oh" was all I said acting like I understood it. We kept going until we came to four doors, each with a label on it, the first one said Perseus's secrets, the second one said Perseus memories, the third one said Perseus's conscious, and the forth one didn't have anything on it. Hades looked at all of them then went into the forth one, it led to another door with a lock on it.

I sat there and waited for him to open it, and then he looked at me expectantly. "What?" was my brilliant response, "Where's the key genius?" he said annoyed, then it popped into my head and I knew exactly where the key was, I reach into my mouth and pulled out a silver key, and unlocked the lock. We came to this area where there was a big giant metal door with a series of complicated locks; there was a little window with glass that we can see behind the door. Me and Hades went over there and looked to see Erebus hammering against the walls trying to break free. He punched a wall forming a crack in it; I got a bad headache all of a sudden, that made me angry and some chains shot out of the ground in the room completely wrapping Erebus up and pulling him to his knees. The crack in the wall started to heal to, Hades tapped on the glass and Erebus looked at us.

He started shouting and stuff, but I couldn't actually hear him, "This is Erebus prison in your mind, this is where he shall stay until I can find a way to remove him from your body. Don't let him out Perseus because your strong will and kind heart is the only thing that keeps him powerless in your mind." Hades said seriously, "What do I do if he gets out by himself?" I asked him, Hades looked back at Erebus. He will only break loose if your emotions aren't in check or if you willingly let him out, emotions like anger, jealousy, hatred, and fear give him power. He will do anything to try to break you, he will lie, cheat, and harm you to get you to release him" Hades said sternly. I looked down at the ground thinking of how hard this was going to be, "But there is an upside to this Perseus" he said smiling at me.

I looked up at him hopefully, "You can, how do you say? Borrow his powers from him" Hades said rubbing his chin. "I can", "Yes Perseus you can, but I must warn you with his power comes his influence." He said, I looked at Erebus and thought of all the possibilities, then I thought of all the bad possibility, if my emotions got out of check I could be a liability. "What if I lose control again, I…I can't do that again, I hate seeing myself like that" I said putting my head in my hands. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked at my uncle, "Perseus right now your fearful of his power, and that gives him strength" he said pointing to Erebus breaking from the chains that were binding him, I concentrated and more shot out and held him back down. "I'm sorry Lord Hades, but I can't do that again, I killed all those romans." I said looking down at my feet.

"It is war nephew and people die" Hades said looking at me, "Yea they do, but not like that, I ripped someone damn head off for God's sake" I said angrily, the shadows started to go crazy in the room, "Calm down Perseus" Hades said looking me in my eyes. "No get out of my head now" I shouted and then we were back into Hades throne room. Hades was standing in front of me, with his hand on my head, "I said calm down Perseus" Hades said with an ancient and powerful voice. I looked into his eyes and anger over took me, he thought he could boss me around, "What are you going to do about it" I said barely a whisper, but he heard it perfectly. Hades eyes widen and he tried to hop back but it was too late, I had hopped forward tackling him to the ground.

"Familiar isn't it Hades" I said darkly, then I lost control over my body, I was still conscious in my own body, but my arms were moving on their own beating Hades to within an inch of his immortal life. Then I heard it that dark demonic voice that belong to the dark God inside me Erebus, "Thank you foolish boy" I him say. As soon as I heard that I started to fight back, I wouldn't let him have my body not again, I closed my eyes imaging that room where Erebus was in I show up there. Erebus was laughing like a madmen punching the ground in his cell room, repeating thank you Perseus again and again, I made the cells come out and caught his arms and held him back. He still had a smile on his face as he broke free from his chain and started beating the ground again.

He broke free, how did he do that? I looked at Hades to see him trying to block his face from the devastating beating he was receiving from me. I had to stop Erebus, I shot another chain at him but this one had a mace at the end, it swung and cracked him in the face. That took him by surprise because I could start chaining him up again, he started to break free but every time he tried I would start beating him with the mace chain again. I had him completely chained up everything except his face, he started shouting again but I couldn't hear him, I took that as a sign as I left my mind and came back to the present.

I was lying on my back on the ground in Hades throne room, Hades standing over me healing his face with his magic. I slowly got up and stumbled when I got up, I almost fell but Hades caught me. "When Erebus takes control of your body it drains you" Hades said simply like that didn't just happen. "Uncle I'm sorry, I let my emotions get the best of me, I was just sca-" "You were not scared Perseus you were angry, the power Erebus puts out when he takes over your body depends on the emotion he used to take over" Hades said. "Any way it's time for you to go back to your world, I will look for a way to expel him from your body Perseus I swear it on the river Styx" Hades said the last part looking me in my eyes and I actually saw an emotion in then besides anger, pity.

Hades tapped my fore head before I could say another word, and I woke up in my tent again. Conner came in with a trouble looked on his face; he saw the look on my face knowing not to push for an answer on what happened. I already knew what he was going to say, what in God's name happened out there, and next thing I knew Thalia Grace my cousin walked in and hugged me in a bear hug. I hugged her back before she let go and decked me right in my jaw, that's typical Thalia for you not a slap, shove, or anything girly but a good punch to the jaw. I think she forgot about my Achilles curse because when I didn't fly to the ground when she punched me, she held her hand and winced in pain. The next thing you think she would do is to get her hand checked right, well nope a course she punched me again with her other hand.
