Artemis POV
"This traitor has left Percy." Thalia spat. Annabeth escaped.
"Thalia, take care of camp. Reyna, please tie Annabeth up and bring her to Olympus with me." I ordered. The girls nodded and began. Annabeth tried to resist the strength that Reyna has, but failed. Thalia broke camp, and left for where they had left off on the hunt for the Empusa, the mother of the dracaena. I grabbed Reyna's shoulder and we teleported Olympus, with Annabeth tied up and gagged.
"Really Father?! Why is the security so bad in the Underworld?!" I yelled. Zeus turned in surprise, to see a still broken Reyna, a tied up Annabeth, and a furious me. He said nothing, but threw his lightning bolt again, for the second meeting in one day. The gods and goddesses came in grumbling.
"What is it this time?" Apollo said, slouching.
"This is the problem." Zeus replied, pointing at the escaped criminal. All Hades broke loose at Hades.
"Why is your security so bad?!" Hermes yelled.
"Your skeleton warriors are wannabes." Ares added.
"Silence!" Zeus rumbled, and the throne room fell silent, " If Annabeth Chase, the traitor, must have escaped with help. If she escaped, that means that Damon has also gone. Hades, summon you Furies." Zeus said. Hades nodded, and his Furies appeared with a swirl of fire.
"Tisiphone, Megaera, and Alecto, I know that you have personally watched Damon Hain do his punishment. Has there been anything suspicious recently?" Hades said loudly.
"My lord," Alecto answered, "This morning, the boy seemed different. He seemed like he had a plan for something. When we looked the other prisoners for a moment, and he disappeared. I know that I personally put inescapable chains around the vermin's ankles."
"New things are awakening, breaking the cycle." Zeus announced.
"But who?" questioned Ares. I rolled my eyes.
"If it isn't the titans or giants, than it must be the primordials." Athena reasoned.
"That is right. My grandfather Chaos ( Is that right?) is awakening." a voice said. Mother Rhea. The eldest gods, not including Aphrodite, ran toward her in the form of preschoolers.
"Mom, how do we defeat Chaos?" Hera asked after things calmed down.
"You have to let all of the gods, goddesses, titans standing by your side, and demigods. I know where my grandson is." Rhea announced.
"Mother, please tell me where Perseus is!" Poseidon begged.
"Children and grandchildren, you have tried to organize a quest to get Percy. That is exactly what Chaos expects. We need two enemies to become friends and work together like their children did before. Percy is at the torture chamber in Chaos' palace at the edge of Tartarus." Rhea replied, looking pointedly at Athena and Poseidon. They gave a look to each other, looked very strange.
"I think this is the easiest plan. From what I have seen, I think that Chaos is going to use Percy as a bargaining token." she added. At that, Reyna started to cry again.
"How do you know this much, Mother Rhea?" I asked. She turned to me and smiled.
"I have also been taken prisoner. I heard that Damon and Annabeth have been working for him, so that is how they have been able escape." the titaness said.
"Lady Rhea, is there any other plan's that he has plotted as backups?" Reyna sniffled.
"My dear, there is one where he will first strike the demigod camps, depleting most of the help, then while you are distracted, he will destroy Hestia's Hearth, shattering the core of Olympus. Then he will destroy Percy, breaking your spirit. Once he has resided as king, he will order you to be cast into Tartarus." Rhea recited. Reyna started to shake and when she couldn't control herself anymore, she teleported away, tears streaming.
Jason POV
I was sitting in my palace reading the Iliad when Reyna teleported in, crying so hard that I thought that she would dry herself out.
"Reyna, what is the matter?" I asked, leading her to the couch next to the fire.
"The pri-primordial gods are a-a-awakening." she stuttered, "Percy has been taken by Chaos, and…" I knew that Reyna couldn't continue. She curled up into a ball resting her head on my shoulder, and I put a comforting arm around her.
"Jason. Jason!" a voice hissed. I jumped up and looked to see Percy in an IM, face swollen and bruised. Reyna also looked up, and ran to the Iris Message, reaching out as if to touch his face.
"Bro, what happened?" I asked to a very battered Percy.
"I have been captured and tortured by Chaos." he answered. At that, Reyna started to cry again.
"Percy, please come back to me. I need you!" Reyna sobbed.
"Please man, for us and Reyna. With you gone, pretty much all she has done is cry." I added.
"Dude, you must understand that Chaos has an entire army guarding me. There are like 200 resurrected Minotaurs. I can't even put a finger outside of the cell without it almost getting chopped into pieces, much less my entire body. I had put all the guards to sleep but it will last as long as this IM. I need you guys to stay strong and ask Zeus make the rest of the 7 other that Annabeth deities because I already told them what to do. Tell him that is the last chance before the attack in 1 week. I can escape, but there are another 5 miles of maze to make through before I can get out of the cell." Percy hissed. He reached out to Reyna as if to never let go. Percy tensed and said that the guards are waking. Reyna nodded and swiped through the IM with trembling hands, and sat down crying. I picked her up and set her up on the couch when she cried herself to sleep. Then, I decided to do as Percy asked.
