Disclaimer: I own nothing of Percy Jackson; all credit goes to Rick Riordan!

Last time:

"Each of the gods will make their punishment with you hurt, although, I will be the one to kill you." Zeus snorted. Hades filled Percy with misery and sorrow, and sent spiky bones flying at him. Poseidon drowned him, and took away Percy's power to breathe in water. Finally Zeus stepped up. Zeus zapped him and electrocuted him until all his skin was burnt and he was moaning of pain now. Just as he was about to die, he evaporated into a black and red mist. The gods, however, didn't notice this, as they were too glad over the death of Percy Jackson.

*****Percy POV****

Where am I? This place looks just….like nothing. It's like I'm sitting on pure darkness. I sit up groggily, only to hear a voice respond to my million questions in my head.

"Hello, Perseus Jackson. I have been waiting for this chance for a long time."

I recognized this voice, I don't know where from though. Who is this guy?

'You don't know who I am Perseus?'

Wait. You can read my mind?

'Yes, I can. So don't try to hide anything in any conversations we have.'

Okay then… wait. Am I dead?

'Well obviously you're not if you are talking to somebody, and you feel alive…'

As for the other million questions… let's start with where am I?

'You are in my chamber of torture, Percy. It's just I don't always use this place for torture. Most of the time, I do use it though. Do you like it?'

Well... I can barely see anything, and I'm not too sure I would like a torture chamber. Okay, and who are you?

'Percy, If I give you enough clues, will you guess it out?'

I might be able to guess you…. And how do you know my name?

'It does not matter. You will find out soon. Well, you have crossed me before, and defeated my beloved Gaea. Monsters birth upon me, and I can guarantee that you have trudged against my closest domain.'

I've angered you, beloved Gaea? Monsters upon you, and I have gone to your domain…Oh gods.

'Oh Primordial's would be better…'

You're… you're Tartarus?

'Yes Perseus and I have come to strike a deal. Although you have angered me for a long while, it is time to become my servant.'

I spat. Serve you? Never will I do that.

'Percy, the reason I am willing to do this is because the gods have betrayed you. Your father disowned you. Also, with my blessing and others, you can become a powerful being. You need not be immortal; for you would be so powerful nothing could harm you. The gods would barely stand a tiny chance against you. Only if they rally all the demigods and monsters in the world would they rival you. Of course, I suppose most monsters are under my command, are they not?'

All speak of those foolish gods is true… and if I join you, then what's in it for me?

'Percy, listen closely. You would be more powerful than anybody. You can protect all your loved ones with the snap of your fingers. Any demigod that you dislike can suffer, yes, suffer an eternal punishment. I fear the gods did not want to just kill you; Hades would have issued an eternal punishment. That Josh fellow that started all of this, he could suffer the same fate as you would have.'

The temptation was so strong, but I needed something more.

'You could have the Fates themselves chained at your feet, and you could destroy them, so there would be no fate at all. You can be granted any power you wish. You can be with your lover, Annabeth, without any harm coming to her.'

That was it. Annabeth was what I needed. I missed her so bad, those calculating stormy gray eyes, her beautiful blond hair, and the way she kissed me if I did something stupid. I couldn't hold back anymore.

Yes, I will accept. Though, what will I do for you?

'You would already be doing me a huge favor by overthrowing the gods and you would live to be my champion. I just wish for a powerful, loyal champion to be my servant as well. You would do nothing as a cupbearer, just to obey my commands. I swear on the River Styx I will follow our agreement. I also promise that I will not harm you or any person that you think dear.'

It is done.

'Percy, pledge for your loyalty.'

I, Percy Jackson, look down on the gods and pledge my loyalty to my new master, Tartarus. I swear on the Styx I will obey his commands and needs with little hesitation.

'What?'

I have to think about it first, if anybody I find dear will get hurt in the process.

'Very well, I accept your pledge.'

*****Third Person POV*****

Percy got on one knee towards the swirling shadows that seemed to generate his master's voice.

'Good Percy, I suppose I should start with the blessings. This might hurt a little.'

It might hurt a little? Percy thought.

The shadows seeped into Percy's body. As for the pain, I think it would be better not explaining that. Let's just say that it hurt A LOT.

After the searing pain finally gave away, Percy noticed his eyes. They were still sea green, but his eyes seemed to be swirling with darkness and fire, moments of grief forever replaying.

'It is for all who make eye contact with you. Unless it is somebody still close to you, they too will replay the worst moments of their life. It could help in distracting your enemy in a battle.'

Percy smirked wickedly, allowing the darkness to take over him, and wash away his pains.

'Percy, you will soon discover all my blessing has given to you. Now, open your sword.'

Percy hastily obeyed and brought out Riptide. Instead of the blade being Celestial bronze, it shined with a stone that was pure black with rimming of blood red metal.

'It is a mix of Stygian iron, enchanted obsidian, and celestial bronze and imperial gold. It should create a very powerful metal altogether.'

"Where are we going now, Lord Tartarus?" Percy asked.

'I have a very special place for you, Perseus. Come with me, and we shall meet another.'

Like that? Who are they going to? R&R peeps!
