3rd POV

Nyx and her husband Erebos stood in the presence of the hunters and what they saw boiled their blood, a most joyous night turned into turmoil. They came to bring the hunters the news of the birth of their new sister, the princess of the Hunt, but that was ruined with the sight that rests in front of them. It was pandemonium the Hunters looked like they were backed up against the corner by the four unfamiliar figures. "Who are you and why have you come?" Nyx asked coldly earn a laugh from three of the four figures the other shook his head in annoyance.

The figure that did not laugh as the other walked forward and bowed before the goddess. "We are the riders of Helix," he said in a strangely voice that did nothing but earn him a scowl from the great goddess of the night. "My name is War, the man over there holding the girl by the hair is death and the woman in the cat suit is Pestilence and the other is Famine."

Erebos frowned at War. "I would say it's a pleasure, but that would be a lie. So what are you doing here?" he asked the rider. Pestilence snarled at the Primordial who only raised an eyebrow at her before he flicked his wrist trapping her in midair as spears of darkness began to protrude from her chest causing her to howl in pain. "Now tell us what you are doing here or you die"

War smiled at the thought of battle, but his eyes analysed the situation. "Who might you be?" he asked worriedly and hoping that they were not who he thought they were, because if they are they are in trouble.

Nyx narrowed her eyes as they flashed like quasars. "I am Nyx, Protogenos of Night and he," she said pointing at her husband, "is Erebos, Protogenos of Darkness and Mist. Now answer our question mortal."

The eyes of the rider widened in shock. "We came as a warning to you" said War hoping to avoid a fight with them for now, because these two are the most powerful couple behind the king and queen so they were told, but that did make him feel any better knowing that there were other more powerful than these two. War could sense their power and individually it was ten times greater than all four of them combined. "But we will on our way now"

War went and climbed on his bike quickly and began to retreat into the night.

"Coward." Muttered Pestilence who was still restrained by the shadows. "Release me and I will show you power."

Erebos shook his head. "Foolish mortal, you are no match for even the weakest of our council and were are part of the big three power couples behind the king and Queen of our council. So watch your filthy mouth when you address a Primordial Lord, your brother, the one who left had enough sense to retreat, while you spew nonsense." Erebos sneered. "You mortals and your lust for power has always been a wonder to me."

Death who had been holding Phoebe by her hair tossed her aside like a rag doll causing her to crash into a tree. "Who are you calling a mortal, old timer?" Death asked lunging for Nyx who rolled her eyes.

Nyx snorted at the idiocy of the riders. "Mortals, they think just because they were given fancy new powers they are immortals" she said to Erebos as she summoned and swung her whip across the chest of Death. "Erebos, release the girl. Maybe we can be entertained a bit before we kill them."

Erebos nodded releasing Pestilence from the shadows. The wounds around her chest began to heal quickly. She snarled at the primordial lord. "You are going to get it Geezer" she spat picking up her Kopis from the floor. She lunged at Erebos swing the Kopis in an arch, but the Primordial sidestepped her attack.

"Mortals, so weak" he taunted as he dodged the Attacks of Pestilence. "You are too slow little girl"

"Argh!" she bellowed while she ignited her Kopis with poisonous liquid flames that were dripping on the floor of the woods.

Erebos looked at the flames and wrapped the blade in mist and darkness extinguishing the flames. He was tired of the fight so he chained her up again in darkness that shot at her from every direction.

Nyx used her whip to hit Death square in the chest sending flying across the campsite. The whip of night retreated and began to whirl around it's master waiting for the adversary to attack Nyx. "Death, you are no fun. I haven't even moved, but you look close to death talk about irony" she mocked.

Famine who had been watching the exchange went over to help her brother before charging at the goddess with her claws bared. "I will kill you" she shouted.

Nyx saw Famine charging at her unarmed at her and made her whip disappear. Famine swung her fist at Nyx's head, but the goddess dodged under. Famine followed the punch with a kick across her abdomen that only managed to slash the air. Nyx quickly launched an uppercut made famine bite her touch. "Give up little one and retreat, you are not winning this fight. My husband and I are no beginners." Said Nyx to the rider.

"Never" Famine spat.

"Fine, have it your way, but I'm going to beat you until you beg for death and when I'm done with you I will feed you to my horses, they haven't had a treat in ages." Nyx said to the young rider. "Turn around and leave and go live your life. Have children, this life was never meant for humans, your brother was wise enough to know this. I can sense you have a good heart, you have just suffered like you brother War…Ryan. Follow his example go and live or stay and become food for my horses. Your little friends Pestilence and Death, well they will receive no such offer with hearts as poisonous their."

Before Famine could reply the campsite was flood with a bright light. when the glare of the light wound down there in the middle of the campsite stood the smiling figure of Persephone Queen of the Primordial council with her son Anatolios prince of the Primordials and the most powerful of his siblings.

Percy's smile washed away when she saw the three unfamiliar people and also the fact that one of them was wrapped in tendrils of darkness. "What is going on here?" she asked the two Primordials curiously.

Nyx and Erebos saw Percy and bowed. "Your Excellency, these scum were attacking the hunters, but one of them ran off and I offered the girl with the platinum hair a chance to flee" Nyx said to Percy who nodded.

"Ah Irene Insigne, you should listen to the advice of Lady Nyx, our world is not meant for you, but I shall not force you to accept our offer. Go to your brother Ryan and create a life for yourself. Helix will only taint you and use you to further is agenda. A life full of hate will lead only to a dark path and it will make you do the unforgivable. Your friends Death…Alfred and Pestilence…Yvonne passed that line long before they were offered to serve Helix. For them oblivion is all I can offer." Percy said walking towards Irene who backed up from her. "I wont hurt you, if I did you would already be in Hades' Domain. Nyx, Erebos, you may kill the other two."

Erebos and Nyx both flicked their wrist snapping the two riders' necks, killing them instantly. Percy touched Irene's forehead and chanted in ancient to remove the blessing of Helix from Irene and Ryan even if he wasn't there because they were siblings.

Lio looked at his mother and realised just how dangerous she could be and how she was not blood thirsty. "Mom, is…" he asked afraid as she saw the girl dropping to the ground.

"She is fine, I just needed to undo the power of a great evil from her." His mother answered as she snapped her fingers transporting everyone including Ryan and Irene to Olysia.

Another chapter done. Hope you enjoyed it.
